Creating a 1st-level character

Decide where your character fits in the world. Then get into the mechanics.

Role-playing

  • Decide the region your character is from, and where they are now. (Check out the map!) You'll probably want to suss out their race at least, in order to better address the next step.

  • Consider what relationship your character has with the Cincture, the Church of the Three, and the Beacon.
  • Feel free to create a faction that your character belongs to or seeks entry to.
  • Walk through the questions in this guide, inventing as much or as little backstory for your character as you need or wish.

  • Email SteveKillen what you have, or pop on the discord to chat about it.

Mechanics

The easy way:

The slightly more labor-intensive way:

  • Decide race and class. Check out the Races and Classes page for detailed information.

  • Generate your ability scores. Couple of options here:
  • Pick background, skill proficiencies, and starting spells (if any).
  • Fill in all the ability score dependent values (skills, HP, saves, initiative, etc.).
  • Add your starting equipment.
