Character Creation Guidelines

Getting Started

Welcome to the character creation guide for campaign 3 of Spelslot! We use dndbeyond.com to create- and keep track of our player characters. To create your character in our DnD Beyond Campaign, contact Tim at [email protected] to get an access link to our DnD Beyond Campaign and all the shared content. If you own the content yourself, please let us know and we’ll place you in a non-shared Campaign, thus leaving more spaces for people that need our shared Campaigns.

To make sure you’ve created your character correctly, go through the following checklist, each to-do has its own explainer tab at the top:

  • Get access to the our DnD Beyond campaign by contacting Tim at [email protected]

  • Set the correct content settings in the ‘home tab’ in your D&D Beyond‘ character builder

  • Pick a class and abilities suitable for your experience level

  • Pick a species, and check if they require some additional lore writing

  • Write a backstory that works
