Creation Guidelines

Limitations
All player characters will be made with a 27 point buy, using average rolls for HP as listed in the class information for the 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons. Players are allowed to roll for HP if they wish to, but a GM has to be present. Please refer to the point buy calculator for allocating stats, no stat may be below 8 or above 15 before racial modifiers. Due to particular details in the setting of Terra Incognita, there will be some differences between the basic creation rules in the Players Handbook and those that will be available in the campaign.

Backgrounds
All backgrounds are currently available, except for the substitute features from Into The Abyss. These features currently do not fit with the immediate setting. The new background teased from Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide is available for use.

Races
Certain races in Despinia are either not available or not yet discovered. This does not mean that they will never see the light of day, but when a player decides they want to make a character of a unavailable race then certain events will need to lead up to the race being unlocked. This is a list of the races currently available: When creating your character, be sure to keep in mind some of our other creation house rules, such as Variant Non-Human Rules.
 * Human
 * Elf
 * Half-elf
 * Half-orc
 * Dwarf
 * Halfling

Classes
There is no current restriction on classes with the exception of Psions (at least until they’re finished). You are, however, encouraged to make your Alts different classes than your MC and each other, though this is not required.

The new roguish archetype teased from Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide is available for use.

Currently the only prestige class, Rune Scribe, is available as a choice for players past level 5 assuming they meet the prerequisites but that will require some planning with your DM.

Note Regarding Religion in Despinia: The primary pantheon this campaign draws from is the Forgotten Realms. All Non-Human deities are also viable choices for worship, but significantly less prevalent in the world.
