Build-A-Char Checklist

The process for creating a character takes some time, let’s settle in with a checklist first.

• Identity: Who is the character? What are they like? What’s their backstory?
• Race: Is your character a human or a troll? If a troll, what blood caste?
• Stats: What is your character capable of?
• Psionics: Can your character use psionic powers or not?
• Pillar: What sort of archetype does your character fit?
• Strife Specibi, Armor: What sort of weapons and armor does your character use?
• Skills, Proficiencies: What does your character do well?
• Decor, Demeanor, Spec: What’s notable about your character?
• Miscellaneous: All the little details!

As a rule of thumb, all the cells you should directly edit on the sheet are colored white. Anything else you should leave alone so the sheet’s code can work its magic.

Let’s look at what the character sheet looks like first, it has a lot of moving parts.

• Character: This is the main sheet, and it holds all the stats, numbers, and items you’ll need to play.
• Biography: What’s your character like? Their Identity goes in here.
• Mechanics: Numbers and guts! When you’re setting up your character (so the majority of the generation checklist), and whenever they level up, you’ll be fiddling with these bits in here!
• Strife Deck: Your character’s strife specibi and psionic foci go in here.
• Wearables: Your character’s wardrobes go in here.
• Atheneum: The rest of your character’s alchemy can be logged in here.
• Household: Your character’s house, followers, and boondollar ledger can be managed from here.
• Customization: If you need to reconfigure your specibi, powers, or Steps, reskin them, add your custom ones, or just rearrange them in a way that the rest of the sheet won’t allow, you can do it here.
