Here are our thoughts on the highlights and changes that should be considered before heading into a new story. We’ll cover everything from character creation through leveling up for your party.

Character Creation

Creating characters in the latest edition of D&D is a different experience depending on your preference. The player’s handbook and other rule books offer many options for you to choose from, but when creating a character, you’ll want to plan your race.

Like previous versions of the game, race selection is done before class. Just like in the 4th edition, race and class are connected, which means that each combination grants certain bonuses and penalties to the player. However, there are fewer combinations because of the removal of sub-races from those choices.

If you’re looking to portray a group of adventurers, we recommend that you use the standard human race. If you want to play an elf, you could go with the quick, but this has more to do with your play style than it does anything else. You’ll get the most fundamental bonuses while playing as a human instead of an elf.

If you want to be a Dragonborn, Dragonborn is the only choice you get. As a Dragonborn you’ll be given +2 for strength and charisma, which should be your main points of focus if you plan on making your character into a tank. You’ll also get dark vision 60 feet, which is a very important tool for those playing the game by feel. It’s sort of like a visual map. If you want to be a Dragonborn, Dragonborn is the only choice you get.

Final Verdict

If you want to be a dragonborn, so be it. All classes are the same in terms of their ability to change shape. You can reroll your bonus and you do not start with your new bonus until you actually get the class at level 1. Once you have access to all of the features, check out your final advancement options for what each class can offer, and then compare it to what one of your party members does or does not have access to before making a decision on which combination is best for your character’s role.
