Hi fede,

In my group, we choose what we want to play. First the general settings (i.e: an orlanthi clan, an errant heterogenous band, etc.), and afterwards the characters. In our last campaigns, we haven't used the dice in character creation at all, everybody chooses what he exactly wants to play. If you want a character with 18 INT, or STR, or whatever, so be it.

That's RuneQuest, in HeroQuest it's this way by default anyway.

The only books I remember in Spanish that had global character creation tables are: "RuneQuest Avanzado" (which is generic, not gloranthan) and "Genertela".
