Flagon Dice - Characters

Your "character" is the hero that you play the game as.

Creating a Character

When you start the game, you will create a character to play as. Grab some note cards, spare paper, a sketchbook, or whatever you prefer, and start writing down information for your character.

Think of a cool idea of someone to pretend to be

What did you do before this? What about this character would be interesting to play? What will the other characters like - and dislike - about your character?

2. Choose a Background

Your character's Background is a combination of their lineage, the culture they were raised in, and the skills they learned before their adventures. When you choose a Background, you get all of its features, although some of them will offer you a choice between different options. The available Backgrounds are listed below.

3. Choose a Skill

Add a point into any Skill of your choosing, to represent something you're a bit better at than most people. For more information on Skills, read the Rules page.

4. Choose your Class

The Warrior, Rogue, Priest, and Mage are the four base classes. They have some basic features that separate them from each other - some classes use heavy armor that makes them hard to hit, some are more precise with weapons and skills, and some can cast magic spells.

At Level 2, each character chooses a specialization from their base class that adds an extra set of special abilities to their repertoire.

Classes and specializations are categorized based on how they engage with enemies and with their allies:

Combat: Focuses on dealing directly with enemies
Support: Focuses on supporting allies
Striker: Does stuff through damage and aggressive effects
Controller: Does stuff by controlling how the fight goes
