CHARACTER CREATION

Link to Quick Start Rules


In DCC RPG, player characters are not created by staying up all night devising a unique and interesting backstory. You roll up 0-level untrained and uneducated peasants and play that unique backstory out. We highly suggest each player roll up multiple 0-level
characters – at least three, possibly more. Don’t get attached. Characters that survive their first dungeon then choose classes and become worth remembering.

Character creation in the DCC RPG follows these steps:

1. Determine ability scores; 3d6 in order for each. Note
ability modifiers on Table 1-1. The abilities are: Strength,
Agility, Stamina, Intelligence, Personality, Luck.

2. Determine hit points; roll 1d4, adjusted by Stamina
modifier.

3. Determine Lucky Sign; roll 1d30, adjusted by Luck
modifier on Table 1-2. The resultant Lucky Roll modifier
associated with that Lucky Sign is permanent and does
not change later when Luck is spent.

4. Determine 0-level occupation; roll 1d100 on Table 1-3.
This result will tell include the character’s 0-level starting weapon and trade goods.

5. Choose an alignment.

6. Determine starting money; roll 5d12 copper pieces.

7. Equipment 0-Level characters come with some starting equipment,
including occupation weapon and trade goods, and one
randomly determined piece of equipment from Table
3-3. Level-0 characters may also purchase or barter additional equipment, if able.

8. Attempt to survive your first dungeon. If you survive
and reach 10 XP, you advance to 1st level. At this point,
you choose a class.
