Character creation

When embarking on an adventure inside the continent of Arveir or the lands beyond using the Worlds of Legend Tabletop Roleplaying Game System™, the first step if you are not playing as the scribe, is to create a character. For this purpose, you should begin by asking yourself "What kind of adventurer do I want to play?".

Will you take on the role of an ingenious gnome artificer, a glamorous elf bard, a resourceful human mage, a slick halfling rogue, or a valiant half-dragon warrior? Your player character, also referred to as PC, is a fusion of game mechanics, narrative elements, and your boundless creativity.

Character ancestries

Your ancestry serves as the basis of your character and defines them at the most fundamental level. This decision not only shapes the general appearance of your character, but it also bestows upon them some natural talents and perks inherited from their genetics and particular cultural background. 

As you take your first steps into the land of Arveir, your character's ancestry and culture of origin can provide an initial lens through which you perceive the unfolding narrative. Embracing, or even refusing, their genetic or cultural heritage can prove to be a powerful foundation for your character's epic journey inside the vast and captivating world that awaits inside the pages of the Legends of Arveir Campaign Setting.

The following backgrounds are available for you to choose from:

By delving into your background, you breathe life into your character, making them more than just a collection of stats and abilities, and as you embark on your grand adventure, your character's background will continue to influence the unfolding tale.
