Starting

Here is some information to help you create a character for play in Mundus.

We will be using the materials from the D&D Adventurers League. The following is a summary; see the Player's Guide for more details.

Step 0: Choose Your Campaign

This one is easy, we're playing in Mundus.

Step 1: Choose a Race or Lineage

A rather large list of playable races are available, generally grouped into Barbaria, Fey, Old Ones, and Populi, though some Dragon and Giant lineages exist.

Step 2: Choose a Class

Available classes are listed here.

  • No multi-classing allowed

Step 3: Determine Ability Scores

There are two additional Ability Scores, Honor and Sanity. They are based off of Charisma and Wisdom respectively, and are thereafter independent.

Step 4: Describe Your Character

  • Alignment: Choose a non-evil alignment.
  • Background: Choose a background from the Player's Handbook or any other published source. If you choose a background that does not grant a feat, you may choose one of the following feats for your character: Skilled or Tough.
  • Deity: Clerics are members of the Apostolic See.
  • Faction: Factions are listed here.

Step 5: Choosing Equipment

Step 6: Come Together

Figure out why your particular group of miscreants form a band. This may be the subject of a Session Zero.
