Character Creation

This setting does not lend itself well to some races that are in the player's handbook. Duergar, drow, deep gnomes, half-elves, tiefling, and dragonborn have no homelands in this setting. These races are not open to players. This setting also makes some changes to the playable races found in the player's handbook, find them in the race section. Be aware that this setting has three homebrew races, these are also found in the race section of this setting.

Ability Scores

Players roll 4 (D-6 sided) dice a total of 6 times, and adding up the highest 3 dice, recording each dice total. Players can not re-roll any dice. They then take their 6 rolls and assign them to any stat they want. After doing that they apply any racial benefits.
