Making a Dragon Age character is a straightforward process that you can complete in eight easy steps. The steps are listed here, and the rest of the chapter covers each step in order.
To play in a game of Dragon Age, you must first make a character. This is your alter ego in the land of Thedas, the persona you’ll be taking on as you experience exciting and perilous adventures. Since your character is the focus of your play experience, making the right character for you is quite important. If you end up with a character you find unappealing or who isn’t fun to play, your enjoyment of the game will diminish. So don’t be afraid to take some time and put some thought into creating your character. This chapter explains the whole process and provides examples so you can see how it’s done. When you are finished, you’ll have a character ready to play.
The first time you read this chapter, you will come across rules and terms you don’t understand yet. Don’t panic. You’ll learn everything you need to know as you work your way through the Player’s Guide, and you’ll want to at least skim the whole book before you sit down to make a character. Also remember that there is a glossary at the back of the book. You can look up important terms there at any time.
