The elevator pitch for a recent character I made called “Blade-Shield” was “a robot taken over by nature and tasked with protecting it”.
Whenever I start out making a character that I want to invest any extended period of time in, I always try to come up with the elevator pitch of a character idea.
Now if you are not concerned with making an interesting character or you already have a character you want to play feel free to skip this step. If there is one thing that is not covered in the PHB step-by-step guide its discussing the core concept of a character. If you are using this guide to create your first character I do not recommend you get into multiclassing as it increases in complexity and makes character creation just that more complicated. If there is a demand for it I can go more in depth about aspects of the standard character sheets. To keep this article from doubling in length I am going to assume that you, the reader, understand the game and character sheets enough to write down what features you gain from your choices. Use this as a starting point for that conversation. My suggestion is to talk with your DM when going over this guide. None of the steps I present are a replacement for the way your DM does their character creation. I need to start this entire article off right.
I however am not everyone, and some individuals still struggle with character creation. For many this information is sufficient, this is the way that I got into creating characters. It’s not that I believe that this knowledge isn’t important, just that there is a step-by-step guide in the Player’s Handbook (PHB pg. As a new player, this task can be daunting without any knowledge of what is required.Īt first mention I had passed off the idea of creating this guide. Some individuals absolutely love character creation, others dread the work that is involved in it.
One topic that always comes up at some point in a players career is character creation.
