I had 5E in mind when I created the thread and wrote the poll, so all of the options are going to lean in that direction. But don't let that slow you down...just vote for whatever options best fit. Most editions have the PHB, DMG, and MM. Others might not have Tasha's or Xanathar's, but they do have Unearthed Arcana or Tome of Battle: The Book of Nine Swords, for example.What about a pint of ale? Mead?
Oddly, I'd like to echo adding items to this poll: Basic Rules and/or the SRD.
Since it is for my regular game, I don't need to talk to other players or my DM (if that is not me) or house-rules really because few of our have impact at 1st level.You're rolling up a brand-new character for your regular 5th Edition D&D game!
The PHB, pencil, character sheet, and an hour or less. I can choose standard array, so don't need dice, with quick build options for gear and such from class and background, so I don't need to roll money, either. Assuming I have the character sheet on hand, I won't need the photocopier.What all do you need to make that happen? Check all that apply.
Friends and dice are only for playing the game, not making the character. Sure, they are still fun to have around but I don't need them.I know that "need" is a strong word, and I know that technically all we absolutely need to play D&D is a handful of friends and some dice. But semantics aside, I'm curious about the books, tools, and equipment we typically deploy when crafting our characters. Tell us about them!
Yea, I'm generally the same way. I know all the options in the books to make decisions, I just generally need to double check details like what skills are on each class list, things like that. So, I generally only end up using the 1-2 books that have my chosen race and class option.and I have a ridiculous memory when it comes to game rules.
So generally I dont need any book nor do I even write my characters stuff; I know my sheet by heart.
