# Ability scores are to be generated using a point-buy system:
#* Each character is allocated 27 points that they may assign as they choose according to the cost chart on the right
#* Ability scores at or below 6 are granted an additional boon<ref name="feat" />
# New characters are created with the same XP as the rest of the party
# Score modifiers (e.g., racial or feat modifiers) are applied after this point buy
# Under normal conditions, ability scores may not rise above 20<ref name="bounded accuracy">Normal conditions include racial bonuses. For example, if a character buys an intelligence of 20 for 26 points, and then chooses to be a gnome, the final stat is 20, not 22. In this case, it would be recommended to buy only to an ability score of 18 instead.</ref>

== Backgrounds ==
# Characters should have two Personality Traits, an Ideal, a Bond, and a Flaw for flavor
#* This will not be required, but it is highly recommended to help RP the character
# Characters may use any of the standard backgrounds, traits, ideals, bonds, and/or flaws from the approved sourcebooks, above
# Characters may use the starting equipment for their class & background, or use the average roll for starting wealth according the chart in chapter 5 of the PHB<ref name="starting wealth">Player's Handbook: page 143</ref>
#* Players may buy/sell adventuring starting equipment per the standard rules for equipment in the Player's Handbook prior to their character's introduction to the campaign
# Characters should have a back-story that explains why they have come to
