D&D Materials: Wotc published materials. Ability Scores: Custom. You will roll two sets of ability scores using the rules found in the PHB. Roll 4d6, then take the three highest number and add them together. You will do this six times to determine one set of ability scores. You will then repeat this process to create another set. When rolling for each set, you may re-roll one dice ONE time for the entire set. Once you finish you may then choose which set you would like to use and assign your ability scores as you see fit.

Homebrew/Third Party Material: Upon DM Approval Written Backstory/Character Details: Please fill out as much as you can on DND Beyond and I will provide a Google Doc. Character Backstory Requirements **IMPORTANT** You each will be provided a Google Document where you will be able to fill out the information below. This will be used for both of us to communicate character details before and throughout our campaign. You're welcome to put it one DND Beyond as well, however, the Goggle Doc will be my primary point of reference. 🤓👍 Character Details Hometown: (DM will help you with this) Age: Family Relationships: Race: Class: Background: Xanathar’s Life Events: You may roll randomly on the XgtE table, use the table for inspiration, or come up with your own. Character Goals Short Term Goal:What is your character's short term goal and what might be standing in their way of achieving that goal? (1 - 2 Sentences). Example: I am looking for my childhood friend who sent me an urgent letter asking for my help. The journey to their new home is long and ripe with dangers. Example: I must investigate the presence of an unknown creature terrorizing the town of Oakenvale. Rumor has it the creature is an aberration and comes from the Far Realm. Example: I grew up in the city and have never seen the outside world. Although I hear it is dangerous life, I want nothing more then to have my first adventure. Long Term Goal: What is your characters ultimate goal and what might be standing in their way of achieving that goal? Example: My family lineage harbors a powerful curse. I seek to discover its origins and cure my familiy of the affliction once and for all, even if my findings may ruin my family name in the process. Example: I seek to become a world renown wizard and take my place amongst the Magi Supreme within the Mage Tower, although my rival also seeks the position for themself. Example: I want to find a powerful artifact and use it to help my homeland, although I have been warned of its destructive properties and that a dangerous cult of a Forsaken God seeks it for themselves. Prophecy: A prophecy is a wish for where you see your character ending up ocne the campaign is over. Think of it as a desired, or undesired, outcome that may or may not occur. Example: I will return to my homeland a hero, but when I do I will be vastly different then I was when I left. For better or for worse. Example: I will travel across the sea to the Forbidden Lands, either by my own free will or by the decree of the ruling council. Example: I ascend to Godhood or become one of the Forsaken. Either way, my name will be known to all in Arserial and become that of legend. Written Backstory Provide a written backstory. Try to keep it brief and concise.
