STEP BY STEP

1. WHO AND WHAT YOU ARE: Before get into the mechanical aspects of creating a character comes the most important step: the CONCEPT. The best way to formulate a CONCEPT is to find a visual anchor for your character. Draw your own portrait (1.2) or find artwork that inspires you! Let yourself get into it. Devise a cool NAME. Keep your mind on that visual anchor, and start filling out all the bits on your sheet.

Are you an elf? A human? choose your RACE. Reach back to your CONCEPT rather than nitpicking the STAT bonus.

See your place in that world as a hero. Nothing will affect your STATS and role in your group more than your CLASS, so choose with care.

Before you start figuring out how the STATS add up, take a moment to explain key facts about your character. What has changed in your life that has pushed you from the humdrum to a life of adventure? How does it involve the other players' characters? Origin and Goal tend to be common to the whole party (but you can make an exception and make it part of a particular past). Story, love, hate, fear are particular to each character.

Alignment is the moral compass of the character. Is one of the nine clasic DnD alignments:

Lawful Good
Neutral Good
Chaotic Good
Lawful Neutral
Neutral
Chaotic Neutral
Lawful Evil
Neutral Evil
Chaotic Evil

2. LEVEL & ADVANCEMENT: In our DnD each character goes from LEVEL 1 to level 20. Every 5 levels a new TIER is reached. Upon reaching a Tier the character can choose a MASTERY.

3. CORE STATS: There are 6 abilities. YOU START WITH 6 STAT POINTS to distribute as you see fit. Enter these stat points in the "BASE" line next to each box in this section. You could put 1 point in each, all 6 in one stat, or any other combination. You may also receive extra stat points for some abilities based on your "RACE" and your "EQUIPMENT". No character, by any means, can exceed +10 on any STAT.

4. EFFORT TYPE: You can enter one or more points on each "BASE" line next to each die box in this section. YOU START WITH 4 EFFORT POINTS to distribute as you see fit. Like for abilities, you may also receive Effort points later for different Effort dice based on your RACE and your EQUIPMENT.

5. DEFENSE: If you have to just brace yourself against what is happening, the DM will tell you to "Roll Defense". You roll 1d20 and add your DEFENSE modifier to the roll (in traditional D&D this would be your Saving Throw). Your CONSTITUTION plus any armor and any other protection you may have all adds together to arrive at your DEFENSE score. That's your total DEFENSE. Your DEFENSE score can never be over 10. When an enemy attacks you, they will roll against your DEFENSE +10 (in traditional D&D this would be your Armor Class).

6. HEALTH: The box with the hearts is where you keep track of your hit points. As you advance you will get more hit points 10 at a time. Each 10 hit points is referred to as one heart = ♥. Your character will start with 1 ♥ (10 Hit Points). When you acquire additional ♥ each represents an additional 10 hit points.

7. EQUIPMENT: Each character class description indicates which starting equipment table your character is to use. Take 1 Starting Equipment from that table and take any 4 from the Basic Equipment table. Take note of all magic items and mundane items that can provide bonuses to your character, such as armor or magic weapons. Each INT spell is also a equipment item, typically in the form of a scroll or book. You only cast the spell, or use any other item, if it is EQUIPPED. EQUIP AN ITEM THAT IS CARRIED TAKES 1 ACTION. Some items give thair benefit if are CARRIED. IMPORTANT: Any item you are carrying can be equipped, but you can't EQUIP more than 10 items, and you are limited to 10 other items that you can CARRY that aren't equipped.

8. ABILITIES / REWARDS / NOTES: Your character race may give you some abilities. Your class description includes a list of starting abilities. Choose 1 from this list. As you progress, you'll unlock more as Level Rewards.

9. HEROIC INSPIRATION: You start with no Heroic Inspiration. Your character gains HEROIC INSPIRATION when you roll a NATURAL 20 on a D20 roll (check or attempt) . The DM can also award it. If you have HEROIC INSPIRATION when you start a REST, you lose your HEROIC INSPIRATION.

10. Coins: Our DnD just uses the generic term "Coins" to all values. By default it can be assumed as gold coins. You start with some Coin amount depending your Class.

LEVELING REWARDS

In orun D&D, when a character gains a new level, gains REWARDS depending of the LEVEL and TIER the character has. This gives your character something to strive for; something to become. These rewards are always representated by ITEMS.

A character gains a new LEVEL every two EXPERIENCE POINTS. The DM will tell to the character / party when get an EXPERIENCE POINT. This generally will be after a very challenging encounter, when finish an important plot or solving a problem of the story.

OPTIONAL (but highly recommended): At the DM's option, in addition to gaining a level, they can require each character to pay a mandatory amount of coins to get their Leveling Reward. This gives greater value and meaning to the fact of searching for treasures in the adventures.

Tier 1 Reward: 250 coins
Tier 2 Reward: 1.000 coins
Tier 3 Reward: 5.000 coins
Tier 4 Reward: 50.000 coins

The LEVELING REWARDS comes in the form of five PATHS:

PATH OF IRON: This is the mind of metal, the weapon master, the armorer, and the mechanic. Like iron, those who master this path become invulnerable to the forces that erode our world.

PATH OF SMOKE: You are the hidden. You are there and not there, ever changing, gone in an instant, and elemental as night itself. Dark indeed is the soul who walks down this shadowy road, for it often leads to a place that terrifies most mortals.

PATH OF MAGIC: Magic is alive, eternal. At its highest levels, the Path of Magic allows its masters to bend time and space, break the cosmic laws, and even dare the boundaries between dimensions.

PATH OF GROWTH: The cosmos is a great and ageless tree. Mastery of the Growth path renders its practicioner indistinguishable from the cosmic life force, and in this unity, there is great power.

PATH OF HAWK: You are the uncanny marksman. Be it guns, bow, or even darts, you specialize in incredible feats of accuracy. You are the tactician, the battlefield-controller. You select targets, focus fire, and leave the enemy no retreat.

When LEVELING UP, a player can choose a REWARD according to the following parameter:

• Leveling Rewards Paths can be used with any character Class.

• To access the Rewards of a TIER, you must be at least of a LEVEL according to the current Tier. You can get a Reward of a previous Tier.

• Leveling Rewards are bound to you, and cannot be given or traded with others (but can be lost or stolen in some circunstances if the DM wants to).

• Players can switch PATHS at any time, mixing and matching to create all kinds of new synergies.

• Each TIER you must choose ONE (AND ONLY ONE AND DIFFFERENT) CHARACTER CLASS TIER ABILITY when getting a LEVEL (player's choice) inside the TIER, instead of a LEVELING REWARD. That ability has no cost, if used the optional rule of mandatory payment.
