A player wishing to create a new PC may do so using a combination of the Player's Handbook, Xanathar’s Guide to Everything, and Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything. Stats should be chosen using the point-buy system or the standard array.

Characters above level one may choose to take any non-magical item they wish under 100 gold in value that they can physically carry. Characters of level five or more will be offered a list of choices of magical items that they may choose to start with. Items won in previous campaigns set in the world of Kyor carry over to future ones.

Typically, characters will gain a single between campaigns using “milestone leveling.”
