After placing the ability score, I randomly picked race, subrace, class, subclass, and background and subbackground.But I didn't quite do it all as a hard and fast rule. For example, the forest gnome had a low Str and high Dex and was originally a berserker barbarian. I picked a concept from that - dual wielding swashbuckler with a lust for battle! - and after fleshing it all out I looked closer at the barbarian's features and realized they just don't work well with an 8 Str and 16 Dex (it's rather a little too unoptimized for a table with lots of fighting), so I swapped it out for battlemaster.Then with the moon druid, I never rolled for subclass because another player is playing a land druid and I didn't want to step on his toes.. I had actually rerolled for a new class but then the druid's player said "Hey, if you play the shapeshifting druid, that's cool with me."</blockquote>
