Mike's guide to creating a D&D character

This is my guide to my friends and family on how to create their first D&D character. I will make some assumptions about building the character online (using Roll20).

  1. Pick a class
  2. Pick a race
  3. Write a backstory
  4. Choose a personality
  5. Choose a flaw
  6. Plan ahead
