DC20 Character Creation Guide Complete Tutorial

[@Epiko1]

I just introduced my group to DC20 and in that process I made some test characters, with one being a gnome/fiendborn being basically a little poison imp with wings. The character creation is a huge thing for what made me want to try DC20 with all of its awesome choices and the relative simplicity of it all. Look forward to seeing the flavor added with backgrounds and such. Thank you for all the great work so far! ❤

[@TheDungeonCoach]

OMG that is an amazing example! I’m literally going to tell people stories about this character! It really does exemplify how flexible the ancestry system is!

"All spellcasters have 6 mana, all martials have 1 stamina....then there's a Spell Blade." What?!?! You can't just drop that with no other context! Details, my guy. Details!! Haha. Seriously, keep up the amazing work you're doing! The system you're constructing right now is something that solves almost all of my concerns about the current D&D system in place, and the fact that you're earning enough to work on it full-time means I know the finished product is going to be spectacular.

[@TheDungeonCoach]

Thank you for the support and kind words my dude!! Yea all classes get their Mana and Stamina from a table, so it’s as simple as that 👍🏼👍🏼

[@DragonRider-007]

@@TheDungeonCoach Will there be a "spellblade" or gish type of class in the final product? Something close to the Bladesinger Wizard, but it's own class? I've seen the tables for martials, casters, and half casters, but wondering specifically about that sort of class. Benjamin Huffman made a fantastic homebrew called the Magus, so I'm just curious.

[@DragonRider-007]

@@TheDungeonCoach And another question: Standard array is +3, +1, 0, and -2. Point buy method says you start with -2 in all attributes and get 12 points to add anywhere, up to the attribute max for level 1, which is +3. Point buy actually puts your stats higher than standard array, because with 12 points, it takes 5 to get one attribute to +3, 3 points to get another to +1, and 2 points to get another to 0, and leave the last attribute at -2. That still leaves 2 points to spend wherever you want. Would it make it more even if you only had 10 points to spend? That way, standard array is equal to point buy, the same way in D&D, standard array is the same distribution of points as if you did point buy. Any thoughts on reducing point buy spending from 12 to 10?

[@vibinglurker5872]

@@DragonRider-007 in the standard array, you get 2 points to tweak your non-maxed stats how you want, making it the 12 total like point buy

[@michaelsmith7561]

As a long time D&D player, this sounds awesome. I hope you also have an easy mode character making process to onboard newer players. Premades are very good for that, and fewer decisions are good as well. Perhaps having a simple character creation and a more advanced character creation process to choose from. Analysis paralysis will be a thing with too many choices for players new to the genre.

[@mctkrlvn]

For a game that is still in Alpha, it is very satisfying to run and easy to pickup and go if you have played other RPGs. Can't wait for the Kickstarter and the game in it's final state.

[@TheDungeonCoach]

Thanks for that brother!

[@przemysawjozwiak144]

Hi Coach! Love all your guides to make DC20 more approachable for us. Would you consider a little change in character sheet and add to "phisical defence" place to write down shield and defence with shield. It would be faster for players to know their defence when for example they loose/throw shield in battle.

[@TheDungeonCoach]

I took notes on this! That would be useful

[@GutisFive]

Excellent guide. I realized i was filling trades modifiers wrong xD

Seems amazing, just bought the beta and me and a group are working on starting an actual play podcast using it, wish me luck.

[@StefVanDerVelden]

Hey dungeon coach, I love your new system. Luckily I was able to convince my d&d group to try the alpha for a one shot, so i am very excited. Controversial thought, what if you lose all the instances of the word point in regards to mana points, stamina points, action points. In my humble opinion it would feel more streamlined and less gamey. Just a thought. How much mana do you have left? This maneuver costs 2 stamina.

[@itap8880]

Yeah, this one does sound like a good one.

[@subterranean327]

I would strongly recommend NOT using the roll method for stats in DC20. I tested it, and it and the results are wildly swingy. My advice: Normally, use standard array in DC20. If you are using the "Prime Cap" variant rule, use points buy in DC20.

[@steelmongoose4956]

Yeah, there’s no bell curve to a single D6. The numbers are going to go all over the place. 😄

[@Deziar28]

It could probably be fixed by adding more dice. For example: roll 8d6, drop the 2 lowest and the 2 highest

[@daved.8483]

First of all, congrats on your successful project. I will definitely check it out. We can never have enough systems to play with.😂 Your DC20 seems very much inspired by Level Up Advanced 5th Edition, which happens to be the best D&D version I've GMed by far. None of my players wants to go back. Every class has been reworked, and all martial classes have access to maneuvers. Not to mention you choose your ancestry, with their gift. Then your culture, background, and destiny. Teamwork is rewarded, nothing is overpowered, and they have an extra class called the Martial, which is a support non casting class. Keep it up.

[@kymaeraa]

My one and only (minor) criticism of DC20 is that "spirit", "presence"(like Daggerheart) or "aura" would work better flavourwise than "charisma". That would leave a more broader interpretation for character traits and also make a bit more sense as your prime attribute in terms of both martial and spellcaster classes.

[@aisutistoto5771]

THIS IS TRUE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@austineamnarangkool1180]

Freakin' awesome!!! Excited to playtest this with my group. Noticed 2 inconsistencies within the free PDF offered from the website (as of the date of this comment) Please let me know if I am just missing something! 1. Character Creation Guide states "Save DC: 14" (page 90) compared to Save DC: 12 (KZbin Video) 2. Mana: 6 at Level 1 (KZbin Video / page 90) compared to Mana: 3 at Level 1 (various spellcaster tables)

[@DogsandDragons]

Hey here’s an idea for an interesting optional rule: Sense Agility influences Physical defenses and Might Health, maybe you could have a mystical health stat influenced by intelligence while Charisma is used for mystical defense.

[@graveyardshift2100]

I can make an entire party's worth of characters in old school games in the same amount of time it will take most players to make all those decisions, and old school games actually encourage flavorful stuff like using intelligence to outwit enemies as a fighter.

[@David-id6jw]

In 0.7 (I don't see a video out for it yet), on page 90 (the character creation section), the Barbarian's defense is still described as "Barbarians = 8 + CM + (Agility or Might) + Prime", whereas the class description and changelog use "Barbarians = 8 + CM + (Agility or Might) + 2".

[@godoftwinkies574]

I remember making a D&D type game and stats were SPECIAL inspired. With primaries values and secondaries (derived) stats. Took anyone 3 minutes to make a character from scratch.

[@ajdynon]

With the ancestries rules, my character in a recent 5e campaign was a zealot barbarian who was slowly transforming into a celestial (her goddess periodically gets cut into pieces by her followers and the pieces are scattered, whichever of her followers collects the most pieces becomes her new avatar). By 5e rules I made her an Aasimar, but in this it seems I could start as a human and add Angelborn later.

[@jakejones3855]

Is using a disguse the trickery skill or is it under influence?

[@echo-hotel]

I was lost in the PDFs and this video helped and hurt. I had hoped for a more simple system for my kids. I like to think of it this way. When writing on you character sheet in pen you see you’ve crossed out your stats 3-4 times before finishing creating the carácter, then it’s still too fluffy.

[@mr.funnyman9765]

How old are they? I feel like DC20 would be one of the best systems released in terms of the simplicity:depth ratio

[@Lunasera]

The skill maximum reminds me of Pathfinder first edition which is a good thing. ^^ In first edition you would also put points into skill ranks and you could distribute them however you liked but a skill couldn't exceed your character level. So far the system looks easy to understand and rather nice, I'll have a look at the kickstarter.

[@Duskbreaker1780]

I love the guide and love the video, but I noticed there's one missing step before step 0. Step -1: Find a group to play with.

[@kamchatmonk]

I'm still torn on the skills, tgey kinda feel messy and a bit overcomplicated, with some being uber useful and others situational at best. Knowledge skills feel like they're subpar discount skills. What if *nature* was a proper skill that combines natural knowledge, survival, and animal handling? What if history was turned into *society* skill, combining historical knowledge with knowing laws, culture, and languages?

[@Plotspider]

Will you develop something for Roll20? A character sheet for that? Or will you include in the rewards some kind of online character sheet that can help with filling this out.

[@davidrhoades5846]

We are looking for a new system. I am running a highly intelligent bard/fighter in the hero system. I dont see how a multi class works in this system. Can you explain please

[@Knight_Marshal]

I am guessing that if you roll for your stats, it is d6-3 to give a 3 tops and -2 min, so you might want to mention if I am right that not everyone may have a 3 in their prime stat unless there is a safeguard for this.

[@subterranean327]

The rules lay out how to protect against that problem when rolling. However, I still strongly advise against rolling for stats in DC20. Use standard array or points buy.

[@Duskbreaker1780]

As stated, be very careful with rolling for stats because your character can very easily be handicapped against the rest of the party and every monster and encounter they come across that relies on prime.

[@Elijah-td2mr]

According to the rules, it says your rest points equal your Character Level + your might; have the rules been updated since then?

[@ZenArkayne]

I am 110% for more system options in the hobbyspace as well as toppling the particular entitled giant in the playground. In good faith, though, what I'm worried about with DC20 is that during the process of simplifying and removing legacy messes, you seem to have added _different_ bothersome complications along the way. "Pending legacy messes," if you'll forgive my gentle cynicism. You guys have a small team but a lot of steam so more power to you. May you not become the next monster to defeat down the road. :)

[@kymaeraa]

I'm curious. Which bothersome complications do you mean?

[@ZenArkayne]

@@kymaeraa :) A very fair question. Right now DC20 seems extremely concerned with pointing out the (valid!) flaws in D&D5 and saying "we simplified that bit." Sounds great in principle! Generate a list of common grievances, figure out a way to streamline or bypass them, hype and profit! But it's still making its own new weirdness. Here's an example you were asking for: I like combining Strength and Constitution into Might. Makes sense. Why ditch Wisdom, though? That stat has its own distinct identity from Intelligence and Charisma. Was it to create a 2/2 symmetry between physical and mental stats? Why not combine Intelligence and Wisdom into "Wit" or similar? But then this Prime attribute abstraction is put in as an attempt to skip over any multiclassing stat complications and we're sort of back to six attributes anyway. Not exactly a simplification then as much as a trade-off. Also my muscle wizard is somehow using his six pack for better perception rolls. What? That's where they really started to lose me. I could go on but I truly don't want to disrespect the effort that's been put in here. At minimum the marketing savvy has been very impressive. I'm honestly happy that people are still enthusiastic about new stuff in the oversaturated market. I just don't want the hopeful glamour of a "D&D killer" to wear off and then people will end up frustrated with DC20 for all new reasons, y'know?

[@kymaeraa]

@@ZenArkayne "Mind" would definitely work as a better term for what they're going with than "intelligence". I think might as a prime attribute on spellcasters works a lot better if you think about it differently. Instead of muscles, try thinking about it in terms of magical might. The caster is brimming with pure overflowing magical power coursing through their body and uses that to enhance their senses, physical prowess and spell power. In this way you could even have a scrawny old man wizard that can punch like a gorilla through their magic reinforcement

[@ZenArkayne]

@@kymaeraa Oh, definitely, you can narratively justify anything. That part isn't a problem; I appreciate the flavor flexibility. It's cool to offload part of the creative process to the players so they'll feel more invested and satisfied. Buff wizards, nerdy barbarians, charming druids... 20% dwarf/10% orc/20% halfling... weird options but _someone_ will want them so yay I guess. But then you've opened the door even wider for bizarre combos for DMs to endure. Sure, a DM can always say "No, that's ridiculous no matter how you spin it" but that generates other problems too. Blargh. Sorry about coming off as a downer. Maybe this open beta will help them vet the system into something less sophomoric. Fingers crossed. :)

[@ghosteeniesmith6219]

How is d20 numbers less confusing than d10? D10 systems have less to none base numbers to add into hit points, stamina, mana. Getting rid of constitution, how does one make poison, disease, elemental resistances? Without wisdom stat, what determines fear/charm resistances? How does prime and awareness simplify perception verses wisdom? Spending one knowledge gives you another knowledge? I don't follow and confused.

So it sounded like for the ancestry traits you can litereally pick from any ancestry in the game? So you could have traits from halflings, elfs, humans and dwarves`in one character? Was there a limitation? If it is the case then why isn't it just a long list of traits and the ancestry is just for character visuals. Or am I getting this wrong?

[@TheDungeonCoach]

Jump distance is minimum of 1 😂 And the Spellblade will be able to do everything that paladin could do but in a better way that’s more of a CLASS than a paladin is. Paladins have too much “baggage of origin and sources” than I think is healthy for a class

I like the idea for the Knowledges, but basing skillpoints on a specific attribute (Intelligence of course) nah. We just got rid of that and happy for it. Considering that every class can prime any attribute, let's just all go with Int I guess. I honestly think that should get some more thinking. Maybe base it on the attribute stat for skills in their group.

[@dnddude9652]

*Might* gives you higher *Health Points* and is required for heavy-duty equipment *Agility* gives you higher *Physical Defence* and is required for stronger ranged weapons *Charisma* gives you higher *Mystical Defence* (alongside *Intelligence* ) AND *Grit Points* (Used to reduce damage taken or give allies ADV on saves, should be listed TBH) All skills _are_ also still boosted by their main attribute’s bonus, so going whole hog on *Intelligence* doesn’t make you a god at all skills

[@padreic4898]

@@dnddude9652 all true but previous systems like D&D3, 3.5 and Pathfinder 1st, like many others have proven, players like their skillpoints. An DC mentions it himself when talking about attribute points in 5e, no-one gets them if you can take a feat instead, so extra HP or learn a skill that will above average go to the skill, same for any othwer numerical value that you add somewhere.
