Character generation / Session 0

Oct 4, 2025 5:16 pm
In this game, each hero is a union of ancestry and class, with a framework of powers and abilities balanced for the journey ahead. But beyond their numbers lies a blank page: you decide who they are and what drives them.

Here are the champions awaiting a player’s hand. Characters already taken are in blue:
- Dwarf Fury (mathias0077)
- High Elf Tactician
- Human Censor
- Human Null (PhoenixScientist)
- Human Talent
- Orc Conduit (ctme2000)
- Polder Elementalist (Drgwen)
- Polder Shadow
- Wode Elf Troubadour

Choose one.

Give them a name, a history, a face others will remember, and a heart that beats with purpose. Their powers are already prepared—but their story has yet to begin.

Please post your choice here and/or talk to the group about it. I will post the Character Sheet Template after that.

In the meantime, here's a rough draft of the Human Null character sheet. Each player's character sheet template/layout may differ from mine, but note that you can't choose subclasses, careers, or other features. Additionally, the character doesn't start with all the skills, kits, or actions available to a 1st-level character.

This is part of tutorial/session 1, where you'll gradually acquire these abilities.

OK I am thinking the Polder Elementalist or Shadow. If I could see their sheets I could decide.

Would love to play a Null.

@Drgwen, you can check all the pregen stats in the link below.

I can easily create a character sheet with your choice after that =)

Oh I realized I submitted a character sheet before reading the game setup.

Oh the Elementalist AND the Shadow both look good! I think the Elementalist looks like it would be a bit more fun tho. The Shadow is just really good at Bamph-ing around and back stabbing and stuff.

Polder Elementalist it is!

No problems! Feel free to edit your sheet, to match the pregen current stats or remove the awesome one you created from the game and submit another. =)

There is a pregen sheet. I dint mean to answer for a GM, but I that was told to me when I jumped the gun and submitted a sheet.
*laughs at self*

There is a pre-gen sheet, but you're free to change its layout/sections and/or make your own template, if you prefer. Here it is =)

@PhoenixScientist The null pregen is a few messages above =)

Please change Sonit'lek's carreer, race, abilities, etc, but you can keep your own name/layout/template, if you want =)

Thanks! I'll make a few tweaks. For example, the 1st level Specialization for Fire (Return to Formlessness) isn't on it, nor is the Specialized Triggered Action, Explosive Assistance. It's also missing its Ward choice, and its Heroic Abilities (the ones you spend Essence on). But otherwise thank you!!

Actually, those features are purposefully missing. =)

Explosive Assistance is only available after the 1st encounter, Return to Formlessness after the 4th, etc.

The idea of the tutorial is to slowly add then, while you practice the tactics and usage of the other stuff.

Feel free to change the order, layout and tweak them, but please don't add features/abilities yet. ;)

OOOH! I didn't realize the tutorial worked that way! How interesting. OK pardon my 'well actually' incorrection!

Hello all, Dwarf Fury sounds cool

It looks like the link to the pre-gens has been removed. Is there a way I can look at what remains?

Cool! Introducing Malfina, Polder Elementalist!

@Esidrix, sent you a temporary link with the Delian Tomb pre-generated characters below.

For a permanent (and free) link with the classes, please refer to the Steel Compendium
