Character Creation and Levelling Guide

This document will detail step by step on how to create your character and level them up in the Viridian Campaign/Framework.
The first section will help you build your character from idea to Lv1. The second section is what you need to do each time your character levels up.

Building a Character to Lv1

Select Character Race (Playable Races)

• Note down the Racial traits of your character's Race.
• If you select a Racial Archetype for your character, skip the Select Archetype step.

Select Archetype (Archetypes)

• Select an Archetype for your character.
• If you selected a Racial Archetype for your character, this step is skipped.

Add Attributes (Attributes)

• Add Racial and Archetype attributes together.
• You may add 1 attribute point to two different attributes to finish off your character’s attributes. The two +1s cannot be applied to the same attribute.

Assign Skill Focuses and Skill points (Skills and Skill List)

• Add Racial and Archetype Skill-focuses to your character sheet.

(Each Skill focus adds 20 skill points to the skill and automatically unlocks Novice rank for those skills)

• Your character starts off with one extra Skill-Focus you can apply to any skill group.

• Your character gains an additional Skill-focus for a single skill for every point in Intelligence (INT) they possess.
  • The Skill Focus bonus also increases by +5 for each Intelligence attribute point the character possesses. Base amount at INT 0: +20 Skill Focus Bonus.

• Your character gains 15 skill points they can put into any skills they like, ready for Lv1.

Assign Skill Perks and Universal Perks (Perks)

• Check Skills for what Perks are rewarded for gaining Novice rank in them.

• Your character gets to select one Universal perk at 1st level.

• Any perks granted by traits will also be applied.

Levelling up a Character

Every level

• Your character gains 15 Skill points every level, including 1st level.
  • Note: you will not be able to add more skill points than skill cap for any skill depending on the character's level.

2nd Rank: Competent (40) is already unlocked at Lv1
3rd Rank: Adept (60) is unlocked at Lv4
4th Rank: Expert (80) is unlocked Lv8, then finally
5th Rank: Master (100) is unlocked rank at Lv12.

Every 2nd level

• Your character gets a Perk-Point which they can use to obtain a Universal Perk.
  • If your character has reached their maximum skill rank for a particular skill, Perk-Points can be used to obtain remaining Skill Rank Perks they were not able to obtain due to reaching Max rank.

Tier 2 Perks are only selectable when the character has a total of 10 universal perks and skill perks granted by Skill Ranks.
Tier 3 Perks are only selectable when the character has a total of 20 universal perks or skill perks, as above.

Every 4th level

• Your character gains +1 to any two different attributes of their choice.
  • You cannot select the same attribute twice, it must be +1 to two separate attributes.

At 5th level and every 10 levels beyond 5th

As a Milestone reward, the character may choose ONE reward from the list below:

• Your character gains +1 to any attribute of their choice.
• Your character gains a Perk-Point.

Every 10th level

• Your character can select and apply an additional archetype from the list of archetypes noted on their race page or Archetypes.
