The point buy rules for character creation in this campaign are as follows: Available points: 27 Maximum attribute before racial bonus: 15 Minimum attribute before racial bonus: 8 When selecting a race, subraces must be chosen if available. Variants, which are considered optional, are currently available for Half-Elves, Humans, Orcs, and Tieflings. Other races, such as Aarakocra, Bugbear, Centaur, Changeling, Dragonborn, Firbolg, Goblin, Goliath, Grung, Half-Orc, Hobgoblin, Kalashtar, Kenku, Kobold, Leonin, Lizardfolk, Locathah, Loxodon, Minotaur, Orc, Satyr, Simic Hybrid, Tabaxi, Tortle, Triton, Vedalken, Warforged, and Yuawn-Ti Pureblood, do not have subraces or variants. It is important to always ask your DM before selecting a race, especially if it is a non-standard race or subrace. Some races, such as Loxodons, may require the character to come from a different world setting than the traditional Forgotten Realms. In this campaign, evil characters are allowed only with the DM's permission and with a player character contract that ensures they will not disrupt the party. If playing an evil character, it is important to have a plan for how this will be roleplayed and not simply devolve into murder hobo behavior.
