Step 1: Choose a Character Concept
Begin with a person rather than a build. Consider:
- What community shaped them?
- What ordinary responsibility did they leave behind?
- What do they protect?
- What contradiction do they carry?
- What would they refuse to forget?
Step 2: Choose Rules Options
Confirm the current starting level, permitted sources, ability-score method, starting equipment, and any campaign restrictions with the Game Master.
Reskinning is welcome when the mechanics remain clear.
Step 3: Connect the Character to Eryndor
Choose at least two connections:
- A place.
- A faction.
- A person.
- A tradition.
- A past journey.
- An unexplained memory.
- A symbol or object that matters.
Step 4: Create a Question
Every character should have at least one unanswered question.
Step 5: Build Party Connections
Create at least one reason to trust, protect, owe, admire, or remain curious about another player character.
