Living Erenel Character Creation
Only approved 5E books and Gamingbrew Homebrew can be used in Living Erenel! A list of approved books can be found in House Rules
This article details rules for creating a Living Erenel character. For the most part, Living Erenel uses the same character creation rules in 5E, but there are some key differences.
Each player may only have one active character. Take your time and create a character that you'll love to play!
If you need help with anything outlined below in the Character Creation process, don’t hesitate to reach out by posting in the #erenel-help Discord channel.
Accessing your Character Sheet
After being accepted into Living Erenel, Brews will send you a login and password to access the Living Erenel Town Hub in FoundryVTT.
The Town Hub is a FoundryVTT game, active almost 24/7, that contains all player character sheets. You’ll also have access to a town filled with vendors, rumors and NPCs. Please be aware a moderator must be logged in for certain aspects of town exploration!
Upon login, a pop-up will appear, asking you to select your computer’s quality level. Answer truthfully since this helps auto-assign graphic settings! For additional setting changes, use the Game Settings tab on the right sidebar. It is recommended to enter the configure settings -> control settings and turn off "Pan to Token Speaker."
Race
Only Erenel Races may be used in Living Erenel.
Ability Scores
When assigning your ability scores, you can either use Standard Array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8) or a 27 point buy system.
Age
Your character must be at least the age of adulthood for your race.
Alignment
Erenel's Element Alignment is a character development tool meant to help build your character's identity and replaces the standard Alignment system.
Background Feats
When selecting a background, you’ll also choose one of the available level 1 feats. Level 1 feats replace any previous background feature.Equipment
Your character begins with the starting equipment and gold provided by their class and background. You can also choose to forgo this and take the gold associated with your class instead.
As the player base explores the lands outside the Town Hub, you'll have the opportunity to meet NPCs that will provide additional equipment!
Health
Hit points are maxed for first level. When rolling for health on a level up, you may roll or take the average. If you roll a one you can reroll once. Rolls can be done either in FoundryVTT or using the Discord Dice Bot.
Language
Instead of choosing a standard language, Living Erenel uses Erenel Languages. When choosing additional languages, players learn the dialect, not the root language. Dialect languages include Arkine, Dragoncoil, Igrati.
If choosing a language without dialects, the player learns the root language instead. Root languages include Eidolon, Eternal and Forsworn.
Name
After deciding on a character name, display your name in Discord! Change your nickname in the Gamingbrew Discord to (Character Name) Discord Name. Example: (Rylid) Gamingbrew. Rylid is the player character, and Gamingbrew is the Discord alias.Portrait
Tell us more about your character and share your character’s art on the #character-intro Discord channel. If you'd only like to share your character art, that's okay too. Brews will pull your art from the #character-intro Discord channel to make your character token after you've completed character creation.
