Character Creation (5E)

This page gives rules for creating characters for the "Champions of Floris" campaign. 

Rules and Resources

This is a campaign for novice players, so players will only have access to the Player's Handbook.

Character Level

The "Champions of Floris" campaign was converted to D&D 5E at 2nd level, so existing characters were converted at that level at that time.  

As the game continues, new characters will be assigned a level and XP total at or just below that of the continuing characters. Use the rules in the Dungeon Master's Guide for determining starting wealth for characters above 1st level.

Ability Scores

Use the standard purchase method to determine ability scores.

Races

Most Player's Handbook races appear in this world, but PCs in "Champions of Floris" are limited to dwarves, elves, half-elves, and humans. 

Classes

All Player's Handbook classes are available.

Clerics: The religion pages on this site were originally written for use with Pathfinder. For 5E cleric domains appropriate to each god, see the Time of the Tarrasque 5E Domains page.

Druids: The Circle of the Beast (available from DM's Guild) is allowed in this campaign.

Alignment

"Champions of Floris" is a heroic campaign. Player characters must be of good alignment.
