Character Creation

Race
The race list is similar to that of any Faerun campaign. You may pick a race with an LA of 1 if you wish to always be one level behind the party, but no greater.

Your race selection will have some baring on the areas you are welcome in, particularly in relation to Dragon Influence, though humans are found on all sides. Primitive races and races fund of war, such as Orcs, find themselves more welcome in areas under Vesta's control. Astraea's region is home to many races with a respect for law and government, such as dwarfs and halflings. Mages of all races and those races with a high pursuit of knowledge, such as elves, find home in Solon controlled lands.

Class
Acceptable classes come from the Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, or any of the “Complete” books. Any classes from other books are subject to DM approval. There will be no psionics allowed in this game.

Alignment / God
Your alignment should reflect your characters actions throughout the RP. While this seems like an obvious statement, I should like you to pay particular attention during this creation process as the campaign will include times when the moral choice is not always clear and your characters will have to make tough calls. It is likely that if you choose to worship a god it will be one of your chosen alignment. Here is a quick god-alignment cheat sheet:

The Deities:

Themis – Lawful Good

Yoldande – Neutral Good

Yonatan – Chaotic Good

The Dragons:

Astraea – Lawful Neutral

Solon – True Neutral

Vesta – Chaotic Neutral

The Demon Lords:

Beil – Lawful Evil

Lucefe – Neutral Evil

Levithin – Chaotic Evil

It is possible to give reverence to all three of a chosen group (with the exception of the dragons, who are at war) but usually one is chosen whose teachings reflect more on the life of the character.

Starting Attributes
We will be using a 28 point buy. All characters will be starting at level 1 and will have normal level 1 attributes.

Starting Equipment
Most classes have, in the book they are introduced in, one or two pre-made builds for a level 1 character. You start with any equipment, gold, and items those builds start with. If the class have more than one build you may choose which starting set of equipment you get. If your class does not include any builds, starting equipment will be provided for you.

Backstory
You may devise any backstory for your character, within reason, from anywhere Oldand. If you would like any more information about any particular region to assist in your backstory creation it will be provided to you. Do not worry about where the other characters locate themselves, you will be brought together in the beginning of the campaign do to “strange circumstances.”
