Character Creation

The 5 Ws

     When making a character, it can be helpful to ask to yourself the following questions:
Who?

Who is your character? 

Who do they want to be? 

Who do they consider family?

When?

When in their life are they adventuring?

Are they young or old?

Is this their first job?

What life events have recently happened to them?

What?

What does your character look like?

What items are important to them?

What things are important them emotionally?

Where?

Where is your character from?

Where are they going?

Where have they been?

Why?

Why does this character exist?

Why are they a part of this group?

Why would they ever leave it?

     This is useful for creating player characters and NPCs!

Starting Items

     All characters start with whatever weapons they want!
Think about at least 1 weapon and 1 far-ranged weapon
Player characters also start with 2 Fast Potions and any other Items you think makes sense for their background

Discuss other Items with your GM

Basic adventuring Items are assumed to be had by someone in your party
An example starting inventory

1 Longsword that glows with an eternal fire

1 Bow with arrows

A necklace from my mother

2 Fast Potions

A child's toy
