I have developed a lot of ideas for this very situation (and spoken about them on other threads somewhere).If you get a chance before hand, show the players some pictures and get them to choose their PC from those. The pic should give you an idea of the PC type, but it wouldn't hurt to ask a few questions, especailly for the less obvious choices. Simple Q's: Do you picture your guy using magic? Sneaking around? Good in the wilds? etc.Then go home home and build those pregens. Point array or roll if you prefer - that doesn't matter.Make up a few extra, just in case someone changes their mind. It's not like teens do that I know <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Use a very simple PC sheet. I am sure you already have a favourite, but I have attached the one I use. It is easy to fill in (esp copy and paste once you have a few PCs), but it's best feature is that it is colour-coded for the 3 pillars. (Abilities and skills, Equipment and Spells are on their own but then the sheet divides into Combat, Interaction and Exploration.So when talking to the mayor of the village, I say, "You will most likely be using Charisma and its skills here, but also look at the Orange section of your sheets to see if you have any special features that might help."Also, once you have filled the sheets in, delete everything that is not used or modified. Scale the sheet back to only what features they have. I even remove the skills that are not modified (though some players prefer them all to be there).(Ah dammit, I left my hard drive at work. For the PC Sheet mentioned follow this link: <a href="http://connorscampaigns.wikidot.com/d-d-player-stuff" target="_blank">http://connorscampaigns.wikidot.com/d-d-player-stuff</a>. Scroll down to "Files" at bottom of page. Go for the Character Sheet (July 5E version)). Cheers. C.</blockquote>
