Monstrous Races: Goblin, Kobold, Lizardfolk. Homebrew Races: Felis (Tabaxi Halfling). -frogfolk (grung, bullywug) ? -Birdfolk* DEFAULT RACES DRAGONBORN Creature Type: Humanoid Age: Young dragonborn grow quickly. They walk hours after hatching, attain the size and development of a 10-year-old human child by the age of 3, and reach adulthood by 15. They live to be around 80. Alignment: Dragonborn tend towards extremes, making a conscious choice for one side or the other between Good and Evil (represented by Bahamut and Tiamat, respectively). More side with Bahamut than Tiamat (whose non-dragon followers are mostly kobolds), but villainous dragonborn can be quite terrible indeed. Some rare few choose to devote themselves to lesser dragon deities, such as Chronepsis (Neutral), and fewer still choose to worship Io, the Ninefold Dragon, who is all alignments at once. Background: The ancestors of dragonborn hatched from the eggs of chromatic and metallic dragons. One story holds that these eggs were blessed by the dragon gods Bahamut and Tiamat, who wanted to populate the multiverse with people created in their image. Another story claims that dragons created the first dragonborn without the gods' blessings. Whatever their origin, dragonborn have made homes for themselves on the Material Plane. Dragonborn look like wingless, bipedal dragonsscaly, bright-eyed, and thick-boned with horns on their heads-and their coloration and other features are reminiscent of their draconic ancestors. Size: Dragonborn are taller and heavier than humans, standing between 5 and 7 feet tall. Your size is Medium. Speed: 30 feet Special Traits Ability Score Increase: Your Strength score increases by 2, and your Charisma score increases by 1. As a Dragonborn, you have these special traits. Draconic Ancestry. Your lineage stems from a dragon progenitor. Choose the kind of dragon from the Draconic Ancestors table. Your choice affects your Brea th Weapon and Damage Resistance traits as well as your appearance. Dragon Damage Type Black Acid Blue Lightning Brass Fire Bronze Lightning Copper Acid Dragon Damage Type Gold Fire Green Poison Red Fire Silver Cold White cold Breath Weapon: When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with an exhalation of magical energy in either a 15-foot Cone or a 30-foot Line that is 5 feet wide (choose the shape each time). Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 8 plus your Constitution modifier and Proficiency Bonus). On a failed save, a creature takes ldl0 damage of the type determined by your Draconic Ancestry trait. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage. This damage increases by ld10 when you reach character levels 5 (2d10), 11 (3d10), and 17 (4d10). You can use this Breath Weapon a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest. Damage Resistance: You have Resistance to the damage type determined by your Draconic Ancestry trait. Dark Vision: You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. Draconic Flight: When you reach character level 5, you can channel draconic magic to give yourself temporary flight. As a Bonus Action, you sprout spectral wings on your back that last for 10 minutes or until you retract the wings (no action required) or have the Incapacitated condition. During that time, you have a Fly Speed equal to your Speed. Your wings appear to be made of the same energy as your Breath Weapon. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest. Languages: You can read, speak, and write Common and Draconic. DWARF Creature Type: Humanoid Age: Dwarves mature at the same rate as humans, but they're considered young until they reach the age of 50. On average, they live about 350 years. Alignment: Most dwarves are lawful, believing firmly in the benefits of a well-ordered society. They tend toward good as well, with a strong sense of fair play and a belief that everyone deserves to share in the benefits of a just order. Background: Dwarves were raised from the earth in the elder days by a deity of the forge. Called by various names on different worlds-Morad in, Reorx, and others-that god gave dwarves an affinity for stone and metal and for living underground. The god also made them resilient like the mountains, with a life span of about 350 years. Squat and often bearded, the original dwarves carved cities and strongholds into mountainsides and under the earth. Their oldest legends tell of conflicts with the monsters of mountaintops and the Underdark, whether those monsters were towering giants or subterranean horrors. Inspired by those tales, dwarves of any culture often sing of valorous deeds-especially of the little overcoming the mighty. On some worlds in the multiverse, the first settlements of dwarves were built in hills or mountains, and the families who trace their ancestry to those settlements call themselves hill dwarves or mountain dwarves, respectively. The Greyhawk and Dragonlance settings have such communities. Size: Medium (about 4-5 feet tall) Speed: 30 feet. Special Traits Ability Score Increase: Your Constitution score increases by 2. Dark Vision: You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. Dwarven Resilience: You have Resistance to Poison damage. You also have Advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the Poisoned condition. Dwarven Toughness: Your Hit Point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level. Stonecunning: As a Bonus Action, you gain Tremorsense with a range of 60 feet for 10 minutes. You must be on a stone surface or touching a stone surface to use this Tremorsense. The stone can be natural or worked. You can use this Bonus Action a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest. Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common and Dwarvish. Dwarvish is full of hard consonants and guttural sounds, and those characteristics spill over into whatever other language a dwarf might speak. ELF Creature Type: Humanoid. Age: Although elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, the elven understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. An elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old. Alignment: Elves love freedom, variety, and self-expression, so they lean strongly towards the gentler aspects of chaos. They value and protect others' freedom as well as their own, and are good more often than not. Drow are an exception; their exile into the Underdark has made them vicious and dangerous. Drow are more often evil than not. Background: Created by the god Corellon, the first elves could change their forms at will. They lost this ability when Corellon cursed them for plotting with the deity Lolth, who tried and failed to usurp Corellon's dominion . When Lolth was cast into the Abyss, most elves renounced her and earned Corellon's forgiveness, but that which Corellon had taken from them was lost forever. No longer able to shape-shift at will, the elves retreated to the Feywild, where their sorrow was deepened by that plane's influence. Over time, curiosity led many of them to explore other planes of existence, including worlds in the Material Plane. Elves have pointed ears and lack facial and body hair. They live for around 750 years, and they don't sleep but instead enter a trance when they need to rest. In that state, they remain aware of their surroundings while immersing themselves in memories and meditations. An environment subtly transforms elves after they inhabit it for a millennium or more, and it grants them certain kinds of magic. Drow, high elves, and wood elves are examples of elves who have been transformed thus. Drow: Drow typically dwell in the Underdark and have been shaped by it. Some drow individuals and societies avoid the Underdark altogether yet carry its magic. In the Eberron setting, for example, drow dwell in rainforests and cyclopean ruins on the continent of Xen'drik. High Elves: High elves have been infused with the magic of crossings between the FeY'vild and the Material Plane. On some worlds, high elves refer to themselves by other names. For example, they call themselves sun or moon elves in the Forgotten Realms setting, Silvanesti and Qualinesti in the Dragonlance setting, and Aereni in the Eberron setting. Wood Elves: Wood elves carry the magic of primeval forests within themselves. They are known by many other names, including wild elves, green elves, and forest elves. Grugach are reclusive wood elves of the Greyhawk setting, while the Kagonesti and the Tairnadal are wood elves of the Dragonlance and Eberron settings, respectively. Size: Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium. Speed: 30 feet. Special Traits Ability Score Increase: Your Dexterity score increases by 2. Dark Vision: You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. Elven Lineage: You are part of a lineage that grants you supernatural abilities. Choose a lineage from the Elven Lineages table. You gain the level 1 benefit of that lineage. When you reach character levels 3 and 5, you learn a higher-level spell, as shown on the table. You always have that spell prepared. You can cast it once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast it in that way when you finish a Long Rest. You can also cast the spell using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for the spells you cast with this trait (choose the ability when you select the lineage). Lineage Level 1 Level 3 Level 5 Drow The range of your Darkvision increases to 120 feet. You also know the Dancing Lights cantrip. Faerie Fire Darkness High Elf You know the Prestidigitation cantrip. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can replace that cantrip with a different cantrip from the Wizard spell list Detect Magic Misty Step Wood Elf Your Speed increases to 35 feet. You also know the Druidcraft cantrip. Longstrider Pass Without Trace Fey Ancestry: You have Advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the Charmed condition. Keen Senses: You have proficiency in the Insight, Perception, or Survival skill. Trance: You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep. You can finish a Long Rest in 4 hours if you spend those hours in a trancelike meditation, during which you retain consciousness. Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common and Elven. GNOME Creature Type: Humanoid. Age: Gnomes mature at the same rate as humans, and most are expected to settle into adult life around the age of 40. They can live to 350 years on average, but it's not too uncommon for them to reach 425-500 years of age. Alignment: Gnomes are generally Good. Those who tend towards Law are sages, engineers, researchers, scholars, investigators, or inventors. Those who tend towards Chaos are often minstrels, tricksters, wanderers, or fanciful jewelers. Gnomes are light-hearted, and even the tricksters amongst them favor harmless pranks over vicious schemes. Background: Gnomes are magical folk created by gods of invention, illusions, and life underground. The earliest gnomes were seldom seen by other folk due to the gnomes' secretive nature and their propensity for living in forests and burrows. What they lacked in size, they made up for in cleverness. They confounded predators with traps and labyrinthine tunnels. They also learned magic from gods like Gari Glittergold, Baervan Wildwanderer, and Baravar Cloakshadow, who visited them in disguise. That magic eventually created the lineages of forest gnomes and rock gnomes. Gnomes are petite folk with big eyes and pointed ears, who live around 425 years. Many gnomes like the feeling of a roof over their head, even if that "roof" is nothing more than a hat. Size: Small (about 3-4 feet tall) Speed: 30 feet. Special Traits Ability Score Increase: Your Intelligence score increases by 2. Dark Vision: You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. Gnomish Cunning: You have Advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws. Gnomish Lineage: You are part of a lineage that grants you upe rnatural abilities. Choose one of the following options; whichever one you choose, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for the spells you cast with this trait (choose the ability when you select the lineage): Forest Gnome: You know the Minor Illusion cantrip. You also always have the Speak with Animals spell prepared. You can cast it without a spell slot a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest. You can also use any spell slots you have to cast the spell. Rock Gnome: You know the Mending and Prestidigitation cantrips. In addition, you can spend 10 minutes casting Prestidigitation to create a Tiny clockwork device (AC 5, 1 HP}, such as a toy, fire starter, or music box. When you create the device, you determine its function by choosing one effect from Prestidigitation; the device produces that effect whenever you or another creature takes a Bonus Action to activate it with a touch. If the chosen effect has options within it, you choose one of those options for the device when you create it. For example, if you choose the spell's ignite-extinguish effect, you determine whether the device ignites or extinguishes fire; the device doesn't do both. You can have three such devices in existence at a time, and each falls apart 8 hours after its creation or when you dismantle it with a touch as a Utilize action. Languages: You can read, speak, and write Common and Gnomish. GOLIATH Creature Type: Humanoid. Age: Goliaths have lifespans comparable to humans. They enter adulthood in their late teens and usually live less than a century. Alignment: Goliath society, with its clear roles and tasks, has a strong lawful bent. The goliath sense of fairness, balanced with an emphasis on self-sufficiency and personal accountability, pushes them toward neutrality. Background: Towering over most folk, goliaths are distant descendants of giants. Each goliath bears the favors of the first giants-favors that manifest in various supernatural boons, including the ability to quickly grow and temporarily approach the height of goliaths' gigantic kin. Goliaths have physical characteristics that are reminiscent of the giants in their family lines. For example, some goliaths look like stone giants, while others resemble fire giants. Whatever giants they count as kin, goliaths have forged their own path in the multiverse-unencumbered by the internecine conflicts that have ravaged giantkind for ages-and seek heights above those reached by their ancestors. Size: Medium (about 7-8 feet tall) Speed: 35 feet. Special Traits Ability Score Increase: When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. You can't raise any of your scores above 20. Goliath Ancestry: You are descended from Giants. Choose one of the following benefits-a supernatural boon from your ancestry; you can use the chosen benefit a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest: Cloud's Jaunt (Cloud Giant): As a Bonus Action, you magically teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. Fire's Burn (Fire Giant): When you hit a target with an attack roll and deal damage to it, you can also deal 1d10 Fire damage to that target. Frost's Chill (Frost Giant): When you hit a target with an attack roll and deal damage to it, you can also deal 1d6 Cold damage to that target and reduce its Speed by 10 feet until the start of your next turn. Hill's Tumble (Hill Giant): When you hit a Large or smaller creature with an attack roll and deal damage to it, you can give that target the Prone condition. Stone's Endurance (Stone Giant): When you take damage, you can take a Reaction to roll 1d12. Add your Constitution modifier to the number rolled and reduce the damage by that total. Storm's Thunder (Storm Giant): When you take damage from a creature within 60 feet of you, you can take a Reaction to deal ld8 Thunder damage to that creature. Large Form: Starting at character level 5, you can change your size to Large as a Bonus Action if you're in a big enough space. This transformation lasts for 10 minutes or until you end it (no action required). For that duration, you have Advantage on Strength checks, and your Speed increases by 10 feet. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest. Powerful Build: You have Advantage on any saving throw you make to end the Grappled condition. You also count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity. Languages: Your character can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character. The Player’s Handbook offers a list of languages to choose from. The DM is free to modify that list for a campaign. HALFLING Creature Type: Humanoid. Age: A halfling reaches adulthood at the age of 20 and generally lives to 150 years of age. Alignment: Most halflings are lawful good. As a rule, they are good-hearted and kind, hate to see others in pain, and have no tolerance for oppression. They are also very orderly and traditional, leaning heavily on the support of their community and the comfort of the old ways. Background: Cherished and guided by gods who value life, home, and hearth, halflings gravitate toward bucolic havens where family and community help shape their lives. That said, many halflings possess a brave and adventurous spirit that leads them on journeys of discovery, affording them the chance to explore a bigger world and make new friends along the way. Their size- similar to that of a human child-helps them pass through crowds unnoticed and slip through tight spaces. Anyone who has spent time around halflings, particularly halfling adventurers, has likely witnessed the storied "luck of the halflings" in action. When a halfling is in mortal danger, an unseen force seems to intervene on the halfling's behalf. Many halflings believe in the power of luck, and they attribute their unusual gift to one or more of their benevolent gods, including Yondalla, Brandobaris, and Charmalaine. The same gift might contribute to their robust life spans (about 150 years). Halfling communities come in all varieties. For every sequestered shire tucked away in an unspoiled part of the world, there's a crime syndicate like the Boromar Clan in the Eberron setting or a territorial mob of halflings like those in the Dark Sun setting. Halflings who prefer to live underground are sometimes called strongheart halflings or stouts. Nomadic halflings, as well as those who live among humans and other tall folk, are sometimes called lightfoot halflings or tallfellows. Size: Small (about 2-3 feet tall) Speed: 30 feet. Special Traits Ability Score Increase: Your Dexterity score increases by 2. Brave: You have Advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the Frightened condition. Halfling Nimbleness: You can move through the space of any creature that is a size larger than you, but you can't stop in the same space. Luck: When you roll a 1 on the d2O of a D2O Test, you can reroll the die, and you must use the new roll. Naturally Stealthy: You can take the Hide action even when you are obscured only by a creature that is at least one size larger than you. Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common and Halfling. HUMAN Creature Type: Humanoid. Age: Humans reach adulthood in their late teens and live less than a century. Alignment: Humans tend toward no particular alignment. The best and the worst are found among them. Background: Found throughout the multiverse, humans are as varied as they are numerous, and they endeavor to achieve as much as they can in the years they are given. Their ambition and resourcefulness are commended, respected, and feared on many worlds. Humans are as diverse in appearance as the people of Earth, and they have many gods. Scholars dispute the origin of humanity, but one of the earliest known human gatherings is said to have occurred in Sigil, the torus-shaped city at the center of the multi verse and the place where the Common language was born. From there, humans could have spread to every part of the multiverse, bringing the City of Doors' cosmopolitanism with them. Size: Medium (about 4-7 feet tall) or Small (about 2-4 feet tall), chosen when you select this species. Speed: 30 feet. Special Traits Ability Score Increase: Your ability scores each increase by 1. Resourceful: You gain Heroic Inspiration whenever you finish a Long Rest. Skillful: You gain proficiency in one skill of your choice. Versatile: You gain an Origin feat of your choice (see chapter S). Skilled is recommended. Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common and one extra language of your choice. Humans typically learn the languages of other peoples they deal with, including obscure dialects. They are fond of sprinkling their speech with words borrowed from other tongues: Orc curses, Elvish musical expressions, Dwarvish military phrases, and so on. ORC Creature Type: Humanoid. Age: Orcs reach adulthood at age 16 and live up to 80 years. Alignment: The orcs are a passionate people, given to powerful emotion and deep faith. They are generally chaotic, but can be any alignment. Background: Orcs trace their creation to Gruumsh, a powerful god who roamed the wide open spaces of the Material Plane. Gruumsh equipped his children with gifts to help them wander great plains, vast caverns, and churning seas and to face the monsters that lurk there. Even when they turn their devotion to other gods, orcs retain Gruumsh's gifts: endurance, determination, and the ability to see in darkness. Orcs are, on average, tall and broad. They have gray or green skin, ears that are sharply pointed, and prominent lower canines that resemble small tusks. Orc youths on some worlds are told about their ancestors' great travels and travails. Inspired by those tales, many of those ores wonder when Gruumsh will call on them to match the heroic deeds of old and if they will prove worthy of his favor. Other orcs are happy to leave old tales in the past and find their own way. Size: Medium (about 6-7 feet tall) Speed: 30 feet. Special Traits Ability Score Increase: When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. You can't raise any of your scores above 20. Adrenaline Rush: You can take the Dash action as a Bonus Action. When you do so, you gain a number of Temporary Hit Points equal to your Proficiency Bonus. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Short or Long Rest.

You gain proficiency in the Stealth skill. Unlucky: Typically those born of this lineage are pf pure black fur and carry a natural unluckiness wherever they go. Once per long rest as a reaction you may cast your bad luck onto an enemy, forcing them to roll with disadvantage on one attack or ability saving throw. Mutation: Born of a gene mutation these Felis have no fur or fur so small it appears to be bald. To stay warm these Felis are constantly on the move. You gain proficiency in acrobatics. FOXFOLK Creature Type: Humanoid. Age: Foxfolk reach maturity at around 13 years old and have similar lifespans to humans. Alignment: Due to their sly nature, Foxfolk tend to lean toward more chaotic alignments. Size: Medium. Foxfolk are tall and slender typically being around 5-6 feet and never smaller than 5. They tend to be between 140 and 275 pounds. Speed: 35 feet. Special Traits Ability Score Increase: Your Dexterity score increases by 2 and your Charisma score increases by 1. Darkvision: You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. Sly Nature: You are proficient in Sleight of Hand (Dexterity) and Persuasion (Charisma) checks. Claws: You are proficient with your unarmed strikes, which deal 1d6 slashing damage on a hit.

When you move on your tum in combat, you can double your speed until the end of the turn. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you move 0 feet on one of your turns. Trance: You don’t need to sleep. Instead, you meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can still dream; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a person normally gets from 8 hours of sleep. Languages: Your character can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character. Random Height and Weight Table Base Height: 5 foot Height Modifier: +2d4" Base Weight: 140 pounds Weight Modifier: Height Modifier x 3 pounds. RATKIN Creature Type: Humanoid. Age: The ratkin life cycle is extremely short, and most reach maturity a couple of years after they are born, but do not tend to naturally live more then 20-30 years at the most, though there are tales of some who have lived as long as 50 years. Alignment: Ratkin tend towards a chaotic alignment, opportunistic and impulsive in their nature. While most tend towards evil, there is a large minority that tends towards neutrality, simply doing whatever they can do survive within the ever-changing society. Size: Small. When standing completely straight (something that rarely happens), ratkin tend to be between 3' 6" and 5' tall. However, they tend to be hunched over, causing them to look much smaller, and weigh around 80-120lbs. Speed: 30 feet. Special Traits Ability Score Increase: +1 Dexterity, +1 Constitution, -2 Intelligence. Darkvision: Having lived almost your entire life in the dark underground apart from the soft glow of warplight, you are adept at seeing even in the deepest hole.

Rat Resilience: You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage. Twitchy: You add half your proficiency bonus to Initiative checks rounded up. Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common, and speak and understand Skritt.. Skritt is a language that consists of primarily squeeks and chirps almost inaudible to non-ratkin with no written symbols. It is an extremely efficient language for expressing ideas and information, though poor for poetry or song, and is the basis for the increased intelligence of ratkin in great numbers. Subrace: Two main subraces of ratkin populate the world of Iseoryn: Street Ratkin and Lab Ratkin STREET RATKIN: As a street ratkin all you know is the streets of cities with a nack of hiding. these ratkin are a off breed of those ratkin who left Baeron the Creator's lab to find shinies. Ability Score Increase: Your Dexterity score increases by 1. Sneaky-Sneak: You have proficiency in the Stealth skill. LAB RATKIN: Lab ratkin work together to experiment with magic and other mysterious things about the world. These ratkin stayed at Baeron the Creator's lab to learn about as much magic as they can to find better ways to find their shinies. Ability Score Increase: Your Intelligence score increases by 3 Arcane Training: You have proficiency in the Arcana skill. x) Record your species, Size, and Speed. x) Imagine your Past and Present Imagine your charactrers past, and how they got to where they are now. x) Choose Languages: Your character knows at least three languages: Common plus two languages you roll or choose from the Standard Languages table. Knowledge of a language means your character can communicate in it, read it, and write it. Your class and other features might also give you languages. 1d12 Language - Common 1 Common Sign Language 2 Draconic (Dragon) 3-4 Dwarvish 5-6 Elvish 7 Giant 8 Gnomish 9 Goblin 10-11 Halfling 12 Orc STEP 3: DETERMINE ABILITY SCORES To determine your character's ability scores, you first generate a set of six numbers using the instructions below and then assign them to your six abilities. ABILITY DESCRIPTIONS Ability Score Measures... Strength Physical might Dexterity Agility, reflexes, and balance Constitution Health and stamina Intelligence Reasoning and memory Wisdom Perceptiveness and mental fortitude Charisma Confidence, poise, and charm ABILITY SCORES Score Meaning 1 This is the lowest a score can normally go. If an effect reduces a score to 0, that effect explains what happens. 2-9 This represents a weak capability. 10-11 This represents the human average. 12-19 This represents a strong capability. 20 This is the highest an adventurer's score can go unless a feature says otherwise. 21-29 This represents an extraordinary capability. 30 This is the highest a score can go. Determine your ability scores by using one of the following three methods. Your DM might prefer you to use a particular one. Standard Array. Use the following six scores for your abilities: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8. Random Generation. Roll four d6s and record the total of the highest three dice. Do this five more times, so you have six numbers. Point Cost. You have 27 points to spend on your ability scores. The cost of each score is shown on the Ability Score Point Costs table. For example, a score of 14 costs 7 of your 27 points. ABILITY SCORE POINT COST Score Cost 8 0 9 1 10 2 11 3 12 4 13 5 14 7 15 9 ABILITY MODIFIERS Each ability has a modifier that you apply whenever you make a D20 Test with that ability (explained in "D20 Tests"). An ability modifier is derived from its score, as shown in the Ability Modifiers table. Score Modifier 1 -5 2-3 -4 4-5 -3 6-7 -2 8-9 -1 10-11 +0 12-13 +1 14-15 +2 16-17 +3 18-19 +4 20-21 +5 22-23 +6 24-25 +7 26-27 +8 28-29 +9 30 +10 ASSIGN ABILITY SCORES Once you've generated six scores, assign them to Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma, keeping in mind your class's primary ability. Fill in the ability modifiers as well. If you're using the Standard Array option, consult the Standard Array by Class table for suggestions on where to assign scores for your character's class. The table puts the highest scores in a class's main abilities. If you used a different method to generate the scores, you may still use this table to guide where you place your highest and lowest scores. BACKGROUNDS AND SPECIES FROM OLDER BOOKS Backgrounds in older D&D books don't include ability score adjustments. If you're using a background from an older book, adjust your ability scores by increasing one score by 2 and a different one by 1, or increase three scores by 1. None of these increases can raise a score above 20. Similarly, species in older books include ability score increases. If you're using a species from an older book, ignore those increases and use only the ones given by your background. Also, if the background you choose doesn't provide a feat, you gain an Origin feat of your choice. Standard Array by Class Class Str. Dex. Con. Int. Wis. Chs. Barbarian 15 13 14 10 12 8 Bard 8 14 12 13 10 8 Cleric 14 8 13 10 15 12 Druid 8 12 14 13 15 10 Fighter 15 14 13 8 10 12 Monk 12 15 13 10 14 8 Paladin 15 10 13 8 12 14 Ranger 12 15 13 8 14 10 Rogue 12 15 13 14 10 8 Sorcerer 10 13 14 8 12 15 Warlock 8 14 13 12 10 15 Wizard 8 12 13 15 14 10 x) ADJUST ABILITY SCORES: After assigning your ability scores, adjust them according to your background. Your background lists three abilities; increase one of those scores by 2 and a different one by 1, or increase all three by 1. None of these increases can raise a score above 20. Some players like to increase their class's primary ability, while others prefer to increase a low score. x) DETERMINE ABILITY MODIFIERS Finally, determine your ability modifiers using the Ability Scores and Modifiers table. Write the modifier next to each of your scores. ABILITY MODIFIERS: Each ability has a modifier that you apply whenever you make a D20 Test with that ability (explained in "D20 Tests"). An ability modifier is derived from its score, as shown in the Ability Modifiers table. Score Modifier 1 -5 2-3 -4 4-5 -3 6-7 -2 8-9 -1 10-11 +0 12-13 +1 14-15 +2 16-17 +3 18-19 +4 20-21 +5 22-23 +6 24-25 +7 26-27 +8 28-29 +9 30 +10 x) DETERMINE APPEARANCE AND PERSONALITY: Ability scores are an essential part of the rules, but they can be more than that. Once you've assigned your ability scores, give some thought to what those scores might say about your character's appearance and personality. A very strong character with low Charisma might look and behave differently from a charismatic character with low Strength. The following tables of descriptive words give suggestions of how you might describe your character based on having a high or low score in an ability. Note your character's appearance and personality on your character sheet. STRENGTH 1d4 High Strength   1d4 Low Strength 1 Muscular   1 Weak 2 Sinewy   2 Slight 3 Protective   3 Self-conscious 4 Direct   4 Indirect DEXTERITY 1d4 High Dexterity   1d4 Low Dexterity 1 Lithe   1 Jittery 2 Dynamic   2 Clumsy 3 Fidgety   3 Hesitant 4 Poised   4 Unsteady CONSTITUTION 1d4 High Constitution   1d4 Low Constitution 1 Energetic   1 Frail 2 Sturdy   2 Squeamish 3 Healthy   3 Lethargic 4 Stable   4 Fragile INTELLIGENCE 1d4 High Intelligence   1d4 Low Intelligence 1 Decisive   1 Artless 2 Logical   2 Illogical 3 Informative   3 Uninformed 4 Stable   4 Frivolous WISDOM 1d4 High Wisdom   1d4 Low Wisdom 1 Serene   1 Rash 2 Considerate   2 Distracted 3 Attentive   3 Oblivious 4 Wary   4 Naive CHARISMA 1d4 High Charisma   1d4 Low Charisma 1 Charming   1 Pedantic 2 Commanding   2 Humourless 3 Hilarious   3 Reserved 4 Inspiring   4 Tactless STEP 4: CHOOSE AN ALIGNMENT Choose your character's alignment from the options below, and note it on your character sheet. D&D assumes that player characters aren't of an evil alignment. Check with your DM before making an evil character. ALIGNMENT CHART Lawful Good (LG) Neutral Good (NG) Chaotic Good (CG) Lawful Neutral (LN) True Neutral (N) Chaotic Neutral (CN) Lawful Evil (LE) Neutral Evil (NE) Chaotic Evil (CE) THE NINE ALIGNMENTS Lawful Good (LG) Lawful Good creatures endeavor to do the right thing as expected by society. Someone who fights injustice and protects the innocent without hesitation is probably Lawful Good Neutral Good (NG) Neutral Good creatures do the best they can, working within rules but not feeling bound by them. A kindly person who helps others according to their needs is probably Neutral Good. Chaotic Good (CG) Chaotic Good creatures act as their conscience directs with little regard for what others expect. A rebel who waylays a cruel baron's tax collectors and uses the stolen money to help the poor is probably Chaotic Good. Lawful Neutral (LN) Lawful Neutral individuals act in accordance with law, tradition, or personal codes. Someone who follows a disciplined rule of life- and isn't swayed either by the demands of those in need or by the temptations of evil-is probably Lawful Neutral. True Neutral (N) Neutral is the alignment of those who prefer to avoid moral questions and don't take sides, doing what seems best at the time. Someone who's bored by moral debate is probably Neutral. Chaotic Neutral (CN) Chaotic Neutral creatures follow their whims, valuing their personal freedom above all else. A scoundrel who wanders the land living by their wits is probably Chaotic Neutral. Lawful Evil (LE) Lawful Evil creatures methodically take what they want within the limits of a code of tradition, loyalty, or order. An aristocrat exploiting citizens while scheming for power is probably Lawful Evil. Neutral Evil (NE) Neutral Evil is the alignment of those who are untroubled by the harm they cause as they pursue their desires. A criminal who robs and murders as they please is probably Neutral Evil. Chaotic Evil (CE) Chaotic Evil creatures act with arbitrary violence, spurred by their hatred or bloodlust. A villain pursuing schemes of vengeance and havoc is probably Chaotic Evil. Unaligned Creatures Most creatures that lack the capacity for rational thought don't have alignments; they are unaligned. Sharks are savage predators, for example, but they aren't evil; they are unaligned. x) ALIGNMENT AND PERSONALITY Alignment can shape a character's personality, goals, and core beliefs. Looking at the two elements of an alignment, you can use the lists below to inspire details of your character's personality Personality Traits by Alignment Alignment 1d4 Associated Trait Chaotic 1 2 3 4 Boastful Impulsive Rebellious Self-absorbed Good 1 2 3 4 Compassionate Helpful Honest Kind Evil 1 2 3 4 Dishonest Vengeful Cruel Greedy Lawful 1 2 3 4 Cooperative Loyal Judgemental Methodical Neutral 1 2 3 4 Selfish Disinterested Laconic Pragmatic STEP 5: FILL IN DETAILS x) RECORD CLASS FEATURES: Look at your class's feature table in chapter 3, and write down the level 1 features. The class features are detailed in that same chapter. Some class features offer choices. Make sure to read all your features and make any offered choices. x) FILL IN NUMBERS: Note these numbers on your character sheet. Saving Throws: For the saving throws you have proficiency in, add your Proficiency Bonus to the appropriate ability modifier and note the total. Some players also like to note the modifier for saving throws they're not proficient in, which is just the relevant ability modifier. Skills: For skills you have proficiency in, add your Proficiency Bonus to the ability modifier associated with that skill, and note the total. You might also wish to note the modifier for skills you're not proficient in, which is just the relevant ability modifier. Passive Perception: Sometimes your DM will determine whether your character notices something without asking you to make a Wisdom (Perception) check; the DM uses your Passive Perception instead. Passive Perception is a score that reflects a general awareness of your surroundings when you're not actively looking for something. Use this formula to determine your Passive Perception score: Passive Perception = 10 + Wisdom (Perception) check modifier Include all modifiers that apply to your Wisdom (Perception) checks. For example, if your character has a Wisdom of 15 and proficiency in the Perception skill, you have a Passive Perception of 14 (10 + 2 for your Wisdom modifier+ 2 for proficiency). Hit Points: Your class and Constitution modifier determine your Hit Point maximum at level 1, as shown on the Level 1 Hit Points by Class table. Level 1 Hit Points by Class Class Hit Point Maximum Barbarian 12 + Con. modifier Fighter, Paladin, Ranger 10 + Con. modifier Bard, Cleric, Druid, Monk, Rogue, Warlock 8 + Con. modifier Sorcerer, Warlock 6 + Con. modifier Hit Point Dice: Your class's description tells you the die type of your character's Hit Point Dice (or Hit Dice for short); write this on your character sheet. At level 1, your character has 1 Hit Die. You can spend Hit Dice during a Short Rest to recover Hit Points. Your character sheet also includes space to note how many Hit Dice you've spent. Initiative: Write your Dexterity modifier in the space for Initiative on your character sheet. Armor Class: Without armor or a shield, your base Armor Class is 10 plus your Dexterity modifier. If your starting equipment includes armor or a Shield (or both), calculate your AC using the rules in chapter 6. A class feature might give you a different way to calculate your AC. Attacks: In the Weapons & Damage Cantrips section of the character sheet, write your starting weapons. The attack roll bonus for a weapon with which you have proficiency is one of the following unless a weapon's property says otherwise: Melee attack bonus = Strength modifier + Proficiency Bonus Ranged attack bonus = Dexterity modifier + Proficiency Bonus Look up the damage and properties of your weapons in chapter 6. You add the same ability modifier you use for attacks with a weapon to your damage rolls with that weapon. Spellcasting: Note both the saving throw DC for your spells and the attack bonus for attacks you make with them, using these formulas: Spell save DC = 8 + spellcasting ability modifier + Proficiency Bonus Spell attack bonus = spellcasting ability modifier + Proficiency Bonus Your spellcasting ability modifier for a spell is determined by whatever feature gives you the ability to cast the spell. Spell Slots, Cantrips, and Prepared Spells: If your class gives you the Spellcasting or Pact Magic feature, your class features table shows the number of spell slots you have available, how many cantrips you know, and how many spells you can prepare. Choose your cantrips and prepared spells, and note them-along with your number of spell slots-on your character sheet. x) NAME YOUR CHARACTER: Choose a name for your character, and write it on your character sheet. The name can be whatever you like. Was it the name of an ancestor? Does it have religious or other significance? Is it a name you chose for yourself? x) CREATE FINAL DETAILS: As you finish creating your character, consider whether you'd like to make up any other details about the character. Here are the sorts of things you might ask yourself as the character: -What's your gender? -What person or people do you care most about? -What's your deepest fear? -On your adventures, will you seek knowledge, wealth, glory, enlightenment, justice, mercy, power, or something else? LEVEL ADVANCEMENT While going on adventures, your character gains experience, represented by Experience Points (XP). A character who reaches a specified Experience Point total advances in capability. This advancement is called gaining a level. The Character Advancement table lists the XP you need to advance to a level and the Proficiency Bonus for a character of that level. When your XP total equals or exceeds a number in the Experience Points column, you reach the corresponding level. Level XP Proficiency Bonus 1 0 +2 2 300 +2 3 900 +2 4 2,700 +2 5 6,500 +3 6 14,000 +3 7 23,000 +3 8 34,000 +3 9 48,000 +4 10 64,000 +4 11 85,000 +4 12 100,000 +4 13 120,000 +5 14 140,000 +5 15 165,000 +5 16 195,000 +5 17 225,000 +6 18 265,000 +6 19 305,000 +6 20 355,000 +6 GAINING A LEVEL When you gain a level, follow these steps: 1: Choose a Class: Most characters advance in the same class. However, you might decide to gain a level in another class using the rules in the "Multiclassing" section later in this chapter. 2: Adjust Hit Points and Hit Point Dice: Each time you gain a level, you gain an additional Hit Die. Roll that die, add your Constitution modifier to the roll, and add the total (minimum of 1) to your Hit Point maximum. Instead of rolling, you can use the fixed value shown in the Fixed Hit Points by Class table. Fixed Hit Points by Class Class Hit Points per Level Barbarian 7 + Con. modifier Fighter, Paladin, Ranger 6 + Con. modifier Bard, Cleric, Druid, Monk, Rogue, Warlock 5 + Con. modifier Sorcerer, Warlock 4 + Con. modifier 3: Record New Class Features: Look at your class features table in chapter 3, and note the features you gain at your new level in that class. Make any choices offered by a new feature. 4: Adjust Proficiency Bonus: A character's Proficiency Bonus increases at certain levels, as shown in the Character Advancement table and your class features table in chapter 3. When your Proficiency Bonus increases, increase all the numbers on your character sheet that include your Proficiency Bonus. 5: Adjust Ability Modifiers: If you choose a feat that increases one or more of your ability scores, your ability modifier also changes if the new score is an even number. When that happens, adjust all the numbers on your character sheet that use that ability modifier. When your Constitution modifier increases by 1, your Hit Point maximum increases by 1 for each level you have attained. For example, if a character reaches level 8 and increases their Constitution score from 17 to 18, the Constitution modifier increases to +4. The character's Hit Point maximum then increases by 8, in addition to the Hit Points gained for reaching level 8 . BONUS FEATS AT LEVEL 20 A DM can use feats as a form of advancement after characters reach level 20 to provide greater power to characters who have no more levels to gain. With this approach, each character gains one feat of their choice for every 30,000 XP the character earns above 355,000 XP. Epic Boon feats are especially appropriate for these bonus feats, but a player can choose any feat for which their level 20 character qualifies. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- STARTING AT HIGHER LEVELS Your DM might start your group's characters at a level higher than 1. It is particularly recommended to start at level 3 if your group is composed of seasoned D&D players. CREATING YOUR CHARACTER Creating a higher-level character uses the same character-creation steps outlined in this chapter and the rules for advancing beyond level 1 provided in the "Level Advancement" section. You begin with the minimum amount of XP required to reach your starting level. For example, if the DM starts you at level 10, you have 64,000 XP. STARTING EQUIPMENT The DM decides whether your character starts with more than the standard equipment for a level 1 character, possibly even one or more magic items. The Starting Equipment at Higher Levels table is a guide for the DM. Also, check with your DM about what equipment is available for you to buy with your starting money. For example, the firearms described in chapter 6 are too expensive for level 1 characters, but they might be available for purchase if your DM allows them. STARTING EQUIPMENT AT HIGHER LEVELS Starting Level Equipment and Money Magic Items 2-4 Normal starting equipment 1 Common 5-10 500GP plus 1d10 x 25GP plus normal starting equipment 1 Common, 1 Uncommon 11-16 5,000GP plus 1d10 x 250GP plus normal starting equipment 1 Common, 3 Uncommon, 1 Rare 17-20 20,000GP plus 1d10 x 250GP plus normal starting equipment 1 Common, 4 Uncommon, 3 Rare, 1 Very Rare MULTICLASSING Multiclassing allows you to gain levels in multiple classes. With this rule, you have the option of gaining a level in a new class whenever you advance in level instead of gaining a level in your current class. Doing so lets you mix the abilities of those classes to realize a character concept that might not be reflected in a single class. Prerequisites To qualify for a new class, you must have a score of at least 13 in the primary ability of the new class and your current classes. For example, a Barbarian who decides to multiclass into the Druid class must have Strength and Wisdom scores of 13 or higher, since Strength is the primary ability for Barbarians and Wisdom is the primary ability for Druids. Experience Points The Experience Point cost to gain a level is based on your total character level, not your level in a particular class, as shown in the Character Advancement table in this chapter. For example, if you are a level 6 Cleric/ level 1 Fighter, you must gain enough XP to reach level 8 before you can take your second level as a Fighter or your seventh level as a Cleric. Hit Points and Hit Dice You gain the Hit Points from your new class as described for levels after 1. You gain the level 1 Hit Points for a class only when your total character level is 1. Add together the Hit Dice granted by all your classes to form your pool of Hit Dice. If these dice are the same die type, you can pool them together. For example, both the Fighter and the Paladin have a d10 Hit Die, so if you are a level 5 Fighter/ level 5 Paladin, you have ten d10 Hit Dice. If your classes give you Hit Dice of different types, track them separately. If you are a level 5 Cleric / level 5 Paladin, for example, you have five d8 Hit Dice and five d10 Hit Dice. Proficiency Bonus Your Proficiency Bonus is based on your total character level, not your level in a particular class, as shown in the Character Advancement table. For example, if you are a level 3 Fighter/ level 2 Rogue, you have the Proficiency Bonus of a level 5 character, which is +3. Proficiencies When you gain your first level in a class other than your initial class, you gain only some of the new class's starting proficiencies, as detailed in each class's description in chapter 3. CLASS FEATURES When you gain a new level in a class, you get its features for that level. A few features have additional rules when you're multiclassing. Check the information about multiclassing included in each of your classes' descriptions. Special rules apply to Extra Attack, Spellcasting, and features (such as Unarmored Defense) that give you alternative ways to calculate your Armor Class. Armor Class If you have multiple ways to calculate your Armor Class, you can benefit from only one at a time. For example, a Monk/Sorcerer with a Monk's Unarmored Defense feature and a Sorcerer's Draconic Resilience feature must choose only one of those features as a way to calculate Armor Class. Extra Attack If you gain the Extra Attack feature from more than one class, the features don't stack. You can't make more than two attacks with this feature unless you have a feature that says you can (such as the Fighter's Two Extra Attacks feature). Similarly, the Warlock's Thirsting Blade invocation, which grants you the Extra Attack feature with your pact weapon, doesn't give you additional attacks if you also have Extra Attack. Spellcasting Your capacity for spellcasting depends partly on your combined levels in all your spellcasting classes and partly on your individual levels in those classes. Once you have the Spellcasting feature from more than one class, use the rules below. If you multiclass but have the Spellcasting feature from only one class, follow the rules for that class. -Spells Prepared. You determine what spells you can prepare for each class individually, as if you were a single-classed member of that class. If you are a level 4 Ranger/ level 3 Sorcerer, for example, you can prepare five level 1 Ranger spells, and you can prepare six Sorcerer spells of level 1 or 2 (as well as four Sorcerer cantrips). Each spell you prepare is associated with one of your classes, and you use the spellcasting ability of that class when you cast the spell. -Cantrips. If a cantrip of yours increases in power at higher levels, the increase is based on your total character level, not your level in a particular class, unless the spell says otherwise. MULTICLASS SPELLCASTER SPELL SLOTS PER SPELL LEVEL Level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 - - - - - - - - 2 3 - - - - - - - - 3 4 2 - - - - - - - 4 4 3 - - - - - - - 5 4 3 2 - - - - - - 6 4 3 3 - - - - - - 7 4 3 3 1 - - - - - 8 4 3 3 2 - - - - - 9 4 3 3 3 1 - - - - 10 4 3 3 3 2 - - - - 11 4 3 3 3 2 1 - - - 12 4 3 3 3 2 1 - - - 13 4 3 3 3 2 1 1 - - 14 4 3 3 3 2 1 1 - - 15 4 3 3 3 2 1 1 1 - 16 4 3 3 3 2 1 1 1 - 17 4 3 3 3 2 1 1 1 1 18 4 3 3 3 3 1 1 1 1 19 4 3 3 3 3 2 1 1 1 20 4 3 3 3 3 2 2 1 1 Spell Slots. You determine your available spell slots by adding together the following: -All your levels in the Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, and Wizard classes. -Half your levels (round up) in the Paladin and Ranger classes. -One third of your Fighter or Rogue levels (round down) if you have the Eldritch Knight or Arcane Trickster subclass. Then look up this total level in the Level column of the Multiclass Spellcaster table. You use the slots for that level to cast spells of an appropriate level from any class whose Spellcasting feature you have. This table might give you spell slots of a higher level than the spells you prepare. You can use those slots but only to cast your lower-level spells. If a lower-level spell that you cast, like Burning Hands, has an enhanced effect when cast at a higher level, you can use the enhanced effect as normal. For example, if you are a level 4 Ranger/ level 3 Sorcerer, you count as a level 5 character when determining your spell slots, counting all your levels as a Sorcerer and half your Ranger levels. As shown in the Multiclass Spellcaster table, you have four level 1 spell slots, three level 2 slots, and two level 3 slots. However, you can't prepare any level 3 spells, nor can you prepare any level 2 Ranger spells.
