Character Creation

To begin the process of selecting your class I would recommend reviewing the Race and Class for detailed information about Traits and Skills.

Once you have selected your race and class, you are ready to create your character. The character creation screens will provide you with tips on how to name your character if you don't already have a name selected. Each race has a few regional factions that slightly change your appearance options, most notably the hair and skin tones.

Below you can find the starting character statistics and proficiencies for weapons, armour and of course your musical instruments. It's important to note that the starting stats do greatly change between race and class and you will also be rewarded a unique title.
