Step-by-Step Character Creation

1. Select a background

Determine Race
Either select your race and ethnicity, or use the following charts to randomly determine them.

Racial Group
To determine whether you are human or demihuman, roll a d8 or choose from the options in the table below. If you are a human, roll on the Human Subgroup table next. If you are a demihuman, see the class tables in the Demihuman background.

Human Subgroup
To determine which human subgroup you belong to, roll a d8 or choose from the options in the table below.

Once you have deremined your human subgroup, proceed to the appropriate table in the next section. If you rolled or selected to be a human foreign to Karameikos, see the class tables in the Foreigner background.

Determine Class
Either select your class, specialization, and background or use the following charts to randomly determine them.

Traladaran
As the poorer of the two human ethnicities of Karameikos, Traladarans are overepresented in in the criminal population as reflected by the additional rogue entries on this table.

Thaytian
Thyatians tend to be a bit more religious than Traladarans, as is reflected in the cleric and paladin results.

Elf
Elf results are comprised completely of spellcasting classes and magical specializations for non-magical classes.

Dwarf
Dwarves are a mundane people, so no arcane classes or specializations are found on this table.

Gnome
While few gnomes master magic, many are dabblers.

Halfling
Much like dwarves, halflings are incapable of wielding arcane magic. However, in ages past, they learned the traditions of the druids from the elves. Create a concept
