Dragons Beyond Character Generator

1. Roll Traits

Roll 3d6 for each of your six personality traits:

2. Choose Race

3. Choose Class

4. Adjust Traits (Optional)

You may swap traits 2-for-1 based on your class:
• Fighting-Man: Take 2 from Int/Cunning → add 1 to Strength
• Cleric: Take 2 from Int/Strength → add 1 to Cunning
• Magic-User: Take 2 from Cunning → add 1 to Intelligence (NOT from Strength)

5. Choose Alignment

6. Roll Starting Resources
