Character Creation Challenge - Day 5 Swords & Six-Siders Expanded

I chose Swords & Six-Siders Expanded for Day 5 of the Character Creation Challenge. 

S&SS is an interesting little OSR type game that only uses a d6.  It uses the usual six attributes but they only range from 1 to 6.  The generation method is a bit unusual though.  You roll three d6's to and then take the opposite of the results to fill out the other three.  For example, if one of the results is a 6 then the opposite is a 1, the opposite of a 2 would be a 5, etc.  And then you place them how you want them.

The steps are:

Choose your race:  I choose Human.
Next you roll your attributes:  I rolled a 6, 5, 3.  So the opposites are 1, 2, 4.
The next step is choose class.  Since I want to be a Fighter I arrange my rolls as such.  An advantage Humans have is the get to add 2 points to their attributes.  I will add 1 to DEX and 1 to INT.

STR 6 INT 2 WIS 3 DEX 6 CON 4 CHA 2

Attributes of 6 give a +1 on saving throws and 1's give a -1.
Next is Alignment:  Neutral
Hit Points 3

Heroes are given whatever equipment they need to start with.  He will be equipped with a shield and helmet which will give him an armor class of 6 and chain mail which will give him a damage resistance of 2.

So here here is my fighter.
