Character Details
Alignment -
All alignments are acceptable including evil but PVP is not permitted in Portal's Reach. The only time player on player damage will be tolerated is when the player being targeted consents to it.
Flaws -
Everyone in Portal's Reach is a reject of some type and with that they bring flaws. Check the list of flaws for ideas or create your own. It is recommended that you select some sort of flaw that can be played out via role playing and not one that would affect performance (example blind).
Background -
All backgrounds form the Players Handbook and Sword Coast Adventurers all accepted at the time of character creation.
Deities -
All deities listed in the Players Handbook, Elemental Evil Player’s Companion, Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide, Volo’s Guide to Monsters are cannon and may be selected.
