Same idea with class.

Read through what each class requires.

IMPORTANT: Choose Point Buy.

The rest is fair self explanatory, but do ask if you get stuck.

Choose a standard background, you can read up on its benefits.

The other options below are roleplaying flavour. Mechanically they add nothing to your character, but it's just there to help you think about who your character is and the choice they will make.

Go to Starting Equipment and choose EQUIPMENT.

You can then make some choices according to which race, class and background you chose.
