Lost Mine of Phandelver | A Classic D&D Adventure Begins

Creating your character

Character creation will take place before the first session. Session 1 will focus on introductions, world context, and beginning play rather than building characters from scratch. If you need help finalizing anything, we can do quick adjustments together before we start. Starting Level All characters will begin at Level 1. This allows the party to grow into their roles naturally and gives everyone time to learn how their characters function in play. 📊 Ability Scores Ability scores will be determined using one of the following methods, chosen for the whole group to keep things fair: • Standard Array • Point Buy • Rolled Stats (4d6, drop the lowest; rolled once and assigned as desired) 📝 Character Creation Characters should be created using D&D Beyond or a fillable character sheet (digital or paper is fine). Please make sure your sheet is complete and shared with the DM before Session 1. 📚 Allowed Sources You may use character options from the following books: • Player’s Handbook • Xanathar’s Guide to Everything • Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything Anything outside these sources (homebrew, Unearthed Arcana, or other official books) must be approved by the DM in advance. 🎭 Character Concept Expectations Characters should: • Be willing to cooperate with the party • Fit the tone and setting of the campaign • Have a reason to engage with the world and its conflicts If you’re unsure whether a concept fits, ask first — we can adjust it togethe
