# D&D 5e lite: Beginner Friendly This modified set of classes is designed for beginner players. Each Class Sheet is slightly more powerful than an average 5e level 1 character. These class designs cannot level up.
## Creating a Character ### Step 1: Choose a Race, Background, and Class First, you must choose what race you want to play as. Beginners should stick to the Common Races, but all races are available to play. You gain all of the traits of that race. Then you must decide a your character's background. This represents the skills they developed before they became an adventurer. Finally, you must select a class. This is the most important decision, and determines what your character can and can't do. Are you a warrior, healer, or mage? ### Step 2: Assign Ability Scores Your DM will choose one of the following options for the table. Once you have six scores, you will assign each score to an Ability. The abilites are as follows: Ability | :--- **Strength** measures bodily power, athletic training, and the extent to which you can exert raw physical force. | **Dexterity** measures agility, reflexes, and balance. | **Constitution** measures health, stamina, and vital force. | **Intelligence** measures mental acuity, accuracy of recall, and the ability to reason. | **Wisdom** reflects how attuned you are to the world around you and represents perceptiveness and intuition. | **Charisma** measures your ability to interact effectively with others. It includes such factors as confidence and eloquence, and it can represent a charming or commanding personality. | Your class will utilize one or two ability scores, and it would be wise to review your class before determining which of your abilities will be strongest. #### Standard Array Each character selects their scores from a predetermined list, and assigns each to a different ability. Once all six ability scores have been assigned, any racial Ability Score Increases are applied. \ **15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8** \columnbreak #### Point Buy Each character has 27 points to buy their six ability scores. Each score's cost are shown on the table below. Once all six ability scores have been bought, any racial Ability Score Increases are applied. Score | Cost | ~ | Score | Cost --- | --- | --- | --- | --- 8 | 0 | ~ | 12 | 4 9 | 1 | ~ | 13 | 5 10 | 2 | ~ | 14 | 7 11 | 3 | ~ | 15 | 9 #### Roll for it Each player rolls 4d6d1 (roll 4 d6s, add the top 3 together and ignore the lowest) six times, and assigns each roll to a score. Once all six ability scores have been assigned, any racial Ability Score Increases are applied. ### Step 3: Finishing Touches Once you have filled out the character sheet and reviewed your class sheet, you are ready to play.
