PC Generation

PCs are special individuals with heroic potential. Not everyone is capable of gaining XP and PC levels. They are rare in the world, perhaps one among many thousands.

Before creating a PC, consult House Rules and Variants for the full list of changes from the PHB. Key restriction: multiclassing is not available.
