Character Creation

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

Step 1: Select Character Race (Playable Races)
* Select a Race to serve as a foundation for your character's existence.
* Note down the Racial Traits and Attribute Adjustments of the Character's Race.
* If you select a Racial Archetype for your character, skip the Select Archetype step.

Step 2: Select Character Archetype (Archetypes)
* Select a Universal Archetype for your character, provided you did not select a unique Racial Archetype from the previous step.
* If you selected a Racial Archetype for your character, this step is skipped.

Step 3: Add and apply Attribute points (Attributes)
* Combine the total Attribute points granted by the Character's Race, Archetype and additional points at character creation.
* The additional points at creation refers to: 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.

 Step 4: Assign Skill Focuses and Skill points (Skills / Skill List)
* Build your characters set of Skills using the available Skill-Focuses and Skill Points your character has at their disposal.
* Don't forget to apply Skill-Focuses gained from Archetypes and your character's Race!

* 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.

Step 5: Assign Skill Perks and Universal Perks (Perks)
* Using the character's available Perk points, choose any Perks that your character meets the requirements to and add it to your record.
* Don't forget to apply any Skill Perks your character is eligible for.
* Your character gets to select one Universal perk at 1st level.
* Any perks granted by traits will also be applied.

Levelling up a Character
