Create Your Character

In this game you will be making a character, a fantasy person that serves as a conduit for your roleplaying. You can portray any personality you want, but try to be someone that is not you; someone that would be fun to play. This could be a different gender, a different race, and wielding might or magic that can crush your enemies. A few things to serve as a primer:

Dice

When taking nearly any action outside of dialogue (and even sometimes then) you will be rolling dice to determine the success of your efforts. This is normally captured by rolling a twenty-sided die (called a d20).

Modifiers

Your character will have modifiers that usually add to your d20 roll. If something gives you a modifier you add that number to the respective roll. For example, if a skill grants you +2 to attacks, you roll a d20 and add 2 to the total.

Attributes

For the purposes of this game, there are six attributes that govern any type of event you might make a d20 roll for. These stats are listed below, and will be called upon through the game. The orange skills are are physical characteristics, while the green are mental attributes.

  • Strength

    Your raw physical power. Governs lifting, pushing, breaking, and hitting hard in melee combat.

  • Agility

    Your speed, balance, and reflexes. Covers dodging, sneaking, aiming, and ranged attacks.

  • Constitution

    Your toughness and endurance. Affects your health, stamina, and ability to resist poison or fatigue.

  • Intelligence

    Your sharpness of mind. Used for knowledge, reasoning, investigation, magic used by mages.

  • Wisdom

    Your awareness and judgment. Governs perception, intuition, willpower, and healing magic.

  • Charisma

    Your force of personality. Covers charm, persuasion, leadership, and magical influence of bards.

Step 1: Choose an Ancestry

  • Angelborn

    Descended from celestial beings, Angelborn radiate a touch of the divine. They may have shining eyes, faint halos, or feathered wings that mark them as otherworldly. Often driven by compassion, duty, or destiny, they stand as natural protectors and guides — though some chafe against the heavy expectations placed upon them.

  • Fiendborn

    Marked by infernal blood, Fiendborn carry the spark of demons or devils in their veins. Some bear horns, tails, or glowing eyes, while others pass almost unnoticed. They often wrestle with prejudice — or with their own darker instincts — but many channel that heritage into fiery determination and hidden strength.

  • Half-Elf

    Bridging two worlds, Half-elves combine the adaptability of humans with the grace of elves. They are natural diplomats and wanderers, comfortable in diverse cultures yet never fully at home in either. Curious, charming, and resilient, half-elves thrive wherever wit and flexibility are valued.

  • Half-Orc

    Born of orcish might and human spirit, Half-orcs are tough, proud, and fierce in battle. Though often judged for their strength and appearance, they carry a deep well of loyalty and determination. Many turn hardship into drive, proving themselves as fearless warriors or steadfast allies.

  • Human

    Versatile and ambitious, humans are the most adaptable of all ancestries. With no single strength or specialty, they excel at making the most of every opportunity. Driven by curiosity, creativity, and determination, humans thrive wherever they go and often achieve greatness simply through willpower.

  • Smallfolk

    Small in stature but big in spirit, Smallfolk are cheerful, nimble, and resourceful. They love comfort, good food, and close-knit communities, but also have an uncanny knack for luck. Brave in ways that surprise larger folk, they prove that size is no measure of courage.

Step 2: Choose a Class

  • Barbarian

    A fierce warrior driven by raw emotion and primal instinct. Barbarians enter a rage in battle, granting them superhuman strength, resilience, and ferocity. They thrive in the thick of combat, shrugging off blows that would fell others, and delivering devastating strikes with brute force.

  • Bard

    Bards weave music, words, and magic into inspiration. They charm allies and enemies alike, boosting their companions’ strength while confusing or dazzling foes. With a mix of combat skill, magic, and sheer personality, a Bard always has a trick — or a song — for any situation.

  • Healer

    Healers channel divine or spiritual power to mend wounds, ward off harm, and strike down enemies of their faith. While known for supporting allies with restorative magic, they can also wield potent offensive spells and weapons, balancing compassion with righteous fury.

  • Mage

    Mages wield powerful arcane magic, shaping the battlefield with spells that bend reality itself. From hurling fire and lightning to summoning illusions and protective wards, they are fragile in body but unmatched in magical might when prepared and protected.

  • Shadow

    Stealthy and cunning, Shadows excel at striking from the darkness or exploiting openings in battle. Quick, resourceful, and deadly with precision, they favor daggers, bows, and clever tricks over brute force. Masters of sneaking, traps, and secrets, they’re always three steps ahead.

  • Warrior

    Masters of weapons and armor, Fighters are versatile combatants who can adapt to almost any style — from a heavily armored knight to a nimble archer. They excel at reliability in battle, striking hard and often, and can withstand punishment while protecting their allies.
