Unless you’re the GM, the first step of Daggerheart is to create your character. In addition to choosing their class, community, and ancestry, you’re also responsible for crafting their physical appearance, personality, and prior experience, as well as their relationships with the other characters. Some of these decisions are purely narrative, meaning they only appear in the game through your roleplaying, but others are mechanical choices that affect the actions you’re more (or less) likely to succeed at when rolling your dice.

• Step 1: Choose Your Class
• Step 2: Choose Your Heritage
• Step 3: Assign Character Traits
• Step 4: Record Additional Character Information
• Step 5: Choose Your Starting Equipment
• Step 6: Create Your Background
• Step 7: Create Your Experiences
• Step 8: Choose Your Domain Cards
• Step 9: Create Your Connections
