How will character creation work

Create your characters prior to your first session. If you need help I can give an in depth tutorial for an extra charge. Characters begin using the standard point buy (27) or array. Ask me for their current level. You may use any options from the sourcebooks below, noting that options from some books require DM approval. You may take any mundane equipment your character has proficiency to use regardless of cost (including full plate, kits and tools). Your players are competent adventurers, so you can assume they have gear. Each character begins the game with a single healing potion and one uncommon magic item from the sources below. Each character also begins with a Dark Gift, that will be discussed via discord prior to play. Allowed Sourcebooks: Players Handbook Dungeon Master Guide* Xanathar's Guide to Everything Mordenkeinen's Tome of Foes Volo's Guide to Monsters Mordenkainen's Monsters of the Multiverse Tasha's Cauldron of Everything Wild Beyond the Witchlight Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide Fizban's Treasury of Dragons Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft* Spelljammer: Adventures in Space* Tortle Package * - With DM approval (No Eberron, Wildemount, MTG, AI, or Rick and Morty) If unsure if an option is available, please ask.
