A Character is You

Every character has six stats that act as the core of their strengths and weaknesses. Each stat comes with a stat modifier, acting as a measure of your character’s capabilities wherever that stat can be applied.

Every character also has a Proficiency bonus, representing the gradual growth of many of the character’s abilities over time, and skills. Each skill comes with skill points, representing their capabilities with tasks where that specific field of expertise can be brought to bear.

And lastly, every character has a name, backstory, and personality, to explain how to address them, how they came to be, and how they behave.

Of course, when one looks at the sheet, they will find there is far more to a character than just the above, but all of it relies on these core things.
