How does character creation work?

Character creation is a guided flow. Pick a ruleset, fill in the basics, and the level-up wizard handles your first level — the same flow used for every level after.

Steps:

1. Pick a ruleset. Core SRD 3.5 is available to everyone; any forks you own or have access to via campaigns are also listed.

2. Identity. Name, gender, age, height, weight, alignment, deity, description.

3. Race. Picking a race seeds size, base speed, and racial modifiers automatically.

4. Ability scores. Roll, point-buy, or enter manually. What you enter is the base score — racial modifiers stack on top.

5. First level. The level-up wizard takes over: pick a class, roll HP, allocate skill points within the rank cap, pick feats from the available pools, pick spells if your class has them, review and confirm.

The engine refuses illegal choices at every step: prestige classes you don't qualify for are greyed out, skill ranks above the level-1 cap are blocked, feats whose prerequisites you don't meet won't appear.

A character can't be switched to a different ruleset later — build a new character on the new ruleset.

There's no "permanent delete" — delete archives a character (read-only, hidden from lists).
