Authorized Sourcebooks: We are playing 1st edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons and using the Players Handbook as the primary reference for creating characters. There are no psionics in this game. Unearthed Arcana spells may be used.

All characters begin play at 1st level.

Step 1. Generate Ability Scores. Roll six sets of 4d6, drop the lowest die from each set. Assign results to the six basic attributes as you wish.

Step 2. Select a Character Race. Ensure you meet Racial minimums/maximums for attributes. Note special racial features gained on your character sheet.

Step 3. Select a Character Class. Ensure you meet minimum attribute scores. Note special class features gained on your character sheet.

Step 4. Select an Alignment.

Step 5. Purchase Equipment. Each character begins the game with a certain amount of money to buy initial equipment—how much depends on the character’s class (PHB p. 35).

Step 6. Starting Hit Points. 1st level characters begin play with maximum hit points. Hit points for 2nd level and up are rolled as normal.

Step 7. Select a background skill representing your character's occupation or background before they gave it all up to become an adventure.

Step 8. Finalize other details on your character sheet e.g., armor class, weapon attacks, saving throws, background, descriptions, etc.
