Creating the Character

1. Creating the Character

   #1

   Therafter 5 is a new setting for the 5th Edition, inspired by Fallout 3 with bits and pieces from other post-apocalyptic worlds.
   
   This document covers the major differences from the main system, and assumes you have access to the 5th Edition D&D’s Players Handbook.  It can be used with the online ruleset, but the class and feat selection becomes much smaller.
   
   reating the Character
   In Therafter, the process of creating a character is the same as the base rules, though the selection of available classes is much smaller, and the list of races is different.  In some cases, ability scores in excess of 20 are possible.
   
   
   
   Step 1:  Choose Race
   
   Select from:
   
   Normal Human
   Pureblood Human
   Mutant/Genemod
   Supermutant
   Stricken
   
   Step 2: Select Class
   
   Choose from:
   
   Barbarian
   Fighter
   Ranger
   Monk
   Rogue
   
   
   Step 3: Determine Ability Scores
   
   Two methods: witnessed die rolls, 4d6 use best 3, and arrange as desired; or Point Buy using following chart (with 27 points):

   Hit Points and Hit Dice
   The world of Therafter handles HP somewhat differently than the Core rules. There are 2 types of HP - Core and Secondary. Your Core HP are those from 1st level including CON Bonus.  All other HP are Secondary.  This has important consequences in healing.

   Choose from one of:
   
   Archologist
   Caravaner
   Courier
   Cultist of Dead Religions
   Follower of the Machine
   Raider
   Road Warrior
   Scavenger
   
   Or one from the PHB as appropriate.
