Step 2
(Make sure that you did step one :D) Create a level 3 character. Use the default 27 point buy, (not stat rolls) and fixed hp (not rolled).

If you're using D&D Beyond for your character, you can use the built-in point buy calculator, or you can use this calculator for your core stats if you’re using a different platform for your character sheet: 🎲 Point Buy Calculator

Step 3
For your sheet, you have 3 options:
  • D&D Beyond: Which is the easiest if you're a beginner. If you choose this, please go to your folder in the Google Drive and put a link to your sheet in the red part in your tracking sheet.
    *P.S. there's a thread for some tips on how to use it in getting-started channel
  • Dicecloud: Same as Beyond, please go to your folder in the google drive and put a link to your sheet in the red part in your tracking sheet.
  • G-sheet: In your Google Drive folder, there is a blank Gsheet that you can copy and rename it to your character's name. (you don't need to use this if you're using Beyond or Dicecloud)
Step 4
Post your character in the creation-log channel, using the pinned post for a template. Use this exact template: Creation Log Template
  • A creation log cheat sheet is available in your folder to help you. For instructions on locating your folder, see the section titled 📁 “How to Find Your Folder”
  • And if you need help, feel free to open a ticket with the counselors to help you with the log create-a-ticket
*P.S. For races with multiple versions from different sourcebooks, you must list the source you are choosing.
Step 5
Once your character is ✅ Staff Approved, you receive the Player role, you are ready to play!

*P.S. Players can take either max gold from what their starting class gives them or starting equipment.
