Character Creation by DM
We're all busy and making a brand new character can take a good chunk of time. If you'd prefer to just have the DM make your character this is the page for you. I just need a little bit of information about what you'd like to play. You can give these answers to the DM via a text, email, or in person. Directly below this paragraph is the template you can copy and paste your answers to. Examples at the bottom of this page. I'll have the character sheet ready for you when you show up and have cheat sheet to highlights special abilities or spells.

Determine Race: Please pick from the following table of races. You can find all these races outlined in the Player's Handbook. You can select from this chart to learn more about each option. You can also google any of these words and get a treasure trove of images and generalizations. If you feel overwhelmed, I recommend going with human.
Determine Class: Please pick from the following table of classes. You can find all these classes outlined in the Player's Handbook. You can also find lots of details about these options online. If you feel overwhelmed, I recommend going with Barbarian, Fighter, Ranger, Bard, or Rogue.
Determine Background: You can pick from the following list for your background, or make up your own and I'll find the equivalent somewhere. It is usually your character's profession but could also represent their way of life.
Method of Combat: How do you want to fight. For characters that use weapons, that weapon should I incorporate into the character design? If you're a spellcaster, what kind of magic use?
Character Concept: The last thing you need is a concept for your character, something for the DM to use the above selections to build upon. It could be a simple sentence or a reference to a TV other media source.
Ok! You're all set! I'll reach out to you if I have any questions, but otherwise! See you at the table.
