Character Creation

Ruleset
Players use the PHB + 1 rule. Characters are built using the rules and options laid out in the D&D 5E Player's Handbook. Additionally, Players make select (if desired) 1 additional official source book to select character options from. This additional source does not need to be chosen at character creation, it only comes into effect once a feature is selected from the additional source.

Ability Scores
So that everyone can create characters before game starts, dice rolls will not be used to ability scores. The rule Variant: Customizing Ability scores on page 13 of the PHB will be used.

However, Players are granted 32 points to distribute (5 more than the 27 listed in the PHB rules)

Starting Level
It is recommended that your first character be created at level 1. If joining in with an experienced group, you have the option of building a character at 1st level, or up to the current town level of Clear Harbour.

Equipment
When creating a character, or at any point between games, characters can purchase anything (that they can afford) from the equipment lists in the PHB.

New characters begin with the starting equipment for their class, as well as the maximum random starting coin.
