Character Creation

Getting Started
Welcome to the World of Arcanis. Let's get you started on creating your character. There are three places we would recommend you begin with. We most strongly recommend beginning with your race, but you may also start with your class or even your history, which is a homebrew character creation mechanic that replaces backgrounds.

Ability Scores
Once you're done with those, you should next work with your ability scores. You can choose from three different arrays:

17/12/12/11/10/10

15/15/14/11/11/10

13/13/13/13/13/13

Each character in Arcanis starts at 3rd level, so you may multiclass from the beginning, but you must meet the prerequisites.

Health
Now that you've decided your ability scores, let's move on to your health. Your 1st level health is decided by the maximum of your primary class's Hit Dice + your CON modifier. For example, if you are a Rogue, which has a Hit Dice of a d8, and your CON score is 12, giving a modifier of +1, then your 1st level health is 9. For 2nd level and onward, you will roll one of your class's Hit Dice and continue to reroll until you get roll a number that is greater than half of the maximum. Your will then add that number, as well as your CON modifier, to your health.

Subclass
After that, if you are of the appropriate level in a class, you may decide what subclass you will be. These are listed on your class's page as the ability your class earns at the level you choose your subclass. For example, if you are a Rogue, you can find your available subclasses on the Rogue page under its 3rd level abilities.

Equipment
Once you have decided your subclass, you can decide your starting equipment. Your options are decided by your primary class and, in some cases, your proficiencies. You can see what starting equipment is available to you on your class's page.

And now you're done! Happy dice-rolling!
