Character Creation
Generating ability scores.
When making your character, you can pick any number between 5 and 17, after racial ability score bonuses, no stat can be above 18. Yes, I mean any number. You could pick all 17s and human to have 18 in every stat.
Additional boons.
If your ability scores, before racial bonuses, result in a point buy of 30 or under you may select a Supernatural Gift from the Theros book. If you do not take a gift, you may instead gain one of the following feats without gaining the ability score increase (Effectively you are gaining half of the feat) Athlete, Chef, Fey Touched, Keen Mind, Linguist, Resilient, Shadow Touched, Skill Expert, Telepathic, Weapon Master. If you choose neither let me know, the gods look favorably at those who are humble.
Detrimental Effects.
The gods look unkindly on hubris, on those humans who think they are close to the gods. If your point buy score is 33 or higher, you can expect luck won’t quite break your way when things are looking close. Mechanically nothing will change, I will in no way alter dice rolls to enforce this divine wrath. For some, this may even be a benefit, attaining the ire of the gods can be a fun story experience, but I assure you the gods will notice.

Picking a Race.
The following racial options are available to players.
Khenra A race of Jackal headed humanoids can be found all over. Originating from Sarmania and Na-Keb, these people are primarily scholars and sages, employed in business or state for their wealth of knowledge.
Wood Elf: From the north the animist Wood Elves of the various tribes make a living among the citizens of the nations as guides, trappers or herbalists
Minotaur: They belong to no nation, instead traditionally leading a nomadic life on the seas. Those who prefer order and law tend to find work as merchants, or naval captains. Those who prefer chaos tend to be pirates or mercenaries.
Ardhadeva: Wispy humanoid creatures whose grace and long life spans set them apart. While they claim to be descended from the gods, none in the nations know of these gods. They tend to lead ascetic lives of
Starting Level.
You may start at level 1, 2 or 3. When you do you begin with an amount of xp that you would need to be that level normally.
Starting Equipment.
You begin play with the starting equipment for your class, but the weapon you choose is from the basic weapon list.
Weapon Proficiencies.
All weapons are tagged as simple or martial. If you have proficiency in a single weapon, you gain proficiency in the closest tree. For example, longsword proficiency you proficiency with the Shotel and Spatha too. Rapier proficiency would give you proficiency in the entire shortsword tree.
