This is a simple experiment. I want to check how long it takes for other people to create a 5e character, because I was expecting it to be faster than how it is for me.
These are the guidelines:
- the target is to create a 1st level PC using DnDNext, and fill a complete character sheet with it
- it is not a competition i.e. do not "rush it" to prove you are faster than others, or to prove it can be done under 5 minutes... be relaxed and be yourself (i.e. if you're a natural optimizer go ahead and min-max, if you're light-hearted make light-hearted choices, etc.)
- decide a general character concept before starting (at least class, race and general idea of what she can do), without looking at the written rules (but I presume you know what classes/races are available), and do not count this time into your total
- pick any method you want for ability scores generation suggested in the playtest rules
- choose freely from every character option available from current playtest packet
- write everything to a character sheet or blank paper (printed or digital doesn't matter); it's enough to write the name of things (e.g. "Rage") and terms of use (e.g. 1/day, you don't have to write the description of how things work (e.g. "Gain this and that...") unless it's a variable that might depend on ability scores or can change later (e.g. bonus damage); but the character sheet has to be complete, writing "Background: X" is not enough, you have to write all the individual benefits at least in name
- you can skip the choice of cosmetic details (even name, gender and alignment), but you cannot skip equipment (however you can pick the suggested equipment, but you still have to write it down to the character sheet)
Then post to this thread the CLASS of your character, and how many minutes it took, from since when you decided on the character concept including class/race, to until when you finished completing the character sheet. (Optionally, you can mention if you took some package such as equipment or background, or if you custom-made them).
Thanks!
