      • Dragonborn, Genasi of all types, Aasimar of all types, Tieflings of all types, and other similar races have a specific "Blood Touch" category. Talk to the GM about that.choosing one of them.

  3. Choose a Background
    • Backgrounds are about where your character comes from, what they were trained in, how they were brought up, and what they are knowledgeable in.
    • Select a background from the PHBs, or Official Supplements. 
    • You can also check out the Frenta Background from Gooey Cube.

  4. Assign your Ability Scores
    • Start by using the 5e standard ability score array of 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8. Distribute as you like.
    • Apply the racial ability score bonuses/penalties of your chosen race; for the sake of convenience and speed of character creation, don’t use alternative options that allow for reassigning racial ability scores.
    • Assign three (3) extra ability score points as you choose. We’ll refer to these as Gooey Ability Score Bonus Points. 

      • Keep the maximum starting ability score (including racial ability score improvements) at 18. If applying the rules above would result in a starting score higher than 18, re-assign the standard array scores and/or the Gooey Ability Score Bonus Points as needed such that no ability score starts above 18.

  5. Set Your Hitpoints
    • Use the PHBs and Supplements to set your starting hitpoints.
    • Do a One-Time increase to your starting hitpoints by 6HP.

  6. Choose your starting Feat or Blood Touch
    • Players choosing a Blood Touch will work with the GM to set their Blood Touch which will gain bonuses at levels 5,9,13,17, and 20.
    • Players who are not Blood Touched will get a free feat at 1st-level, as well as their Origin/Extra feats from any racial traits.

  7. Set your Spell and Healing Slots
    • At first level, (primarily) spellcaster characters will gain a (one-time) three extra first-level spell slots.

      • Warlocks only get one extra spell slot, due to the bonus spells their patron provide them.

    • Spellcasters that are filling a "healer" role will also obtain an additional 2+Proficiency spell slots dedicated to healing spells.

      • These spell slots will always be of a level half your maximum spellcasting level (rounded up). So a level 1 healer gains level 1 healing spell slots. A level 6 healer gains 3rd level healing spell slots.

  8. Identify your Secret or Story Hook
    • Look at sample pre-generated characters, or read through the available story information, to identify your secret, goal, or direction you want your character to take. Work with the DM to make sure it aligns with the story and party.
