How will character creation work

Timing: We will discuss characters during Session 0. Please come with ideas for a couple of characters. Ability Scores: We will be using point buy for ability scores.

This allows for a rich and evolving storyline with plenty of growth for your characters. Creation Location: We will build characters in Roll20. You can also use D&D Beyond with the Roll20 Extension, but you will need to keep both sheets updated. Reference Materials: Get ready to dive into the latest adventures! We'll be using the 2024 Player’s Handbook exclusively for all species, classes, subclasses, and spells. This fresh, updated guide will bring exciting new options and ensure everyone is on the same page—literally! So, crack open that handbook and start dreaming up your next legendary hero. Character Background: You have been chosen to work for Nafas The Infinite. Tie your individual background around the quest for a wish.
