Character Creation

You will start at level 1.

Players can play any race listed in the races page. Any class is available, and all character options from any released books are available. Unearthed Arcana might be available as well.

Character stats will be determined by the standard array: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8

You start with max HP. For each additional level, the average +1 can be chosen or HP can be rolled.

## Flaws

At character creation, you can take flaws. Flaws are major or minor. One major flaw is equivalent to two minor flaws. You are allowed to take a maximum of two major flaws worth of flaws.

For one major flaw (or two minor ones), you can add +1 to any stat (though if this option is picked twice, different stats must be chosen).

Alternatively, you can gain a feat for the cost of two major flaws.

Examples: Take one major flaw and two minor ones to get a feat. Take two minor flaws to increase Strength by one. Take two major flaws to increase Wisdom and Dexterity (must choose two different stats) by one.

Roleplaying your flaws can get you inspiration during the course of gameplay.
