\begin{multicols}{2}

    \subsection*{1 Add +1 to all stats}

    Your character starts with +1 in all basic stats.

    \subsection*{2 Add +1 to two stats of choice}

    Pick two basic stats and add +1 to them.

    \subsection*{3 Choose classes}

    Choose two classes (\cref{ch:class}) for your character. You may choose two combat classes, two non-combat classes, or one combat and one non-combat class.

    Add their stats to those you already have. Add their weapon, armor and skill proficiencies to your character.

    \subsection*{4 Reallocate stats}

    Now you may move stat points around; you can move a point from one stat to another. That means you add +1 to one and -1 to another.

    \subsection*{5 Choose starting equipment}

    Choose a weapon and an armor for your character. 
    
    For a weapon, you should choose a weapon you are proficient in. If you are not proficient in any weapons, you may use a simple weapon, such as a knife. 
    
    Normal clothes count as no armor. If you choose heavy armor, make sure to subtract a point of \stat{dex}.
    
    If you are not sure what category the weapon you want your character to have falls into, talk to your GR.

    \subsection*{6 Compute derived stats}

    Compute the derived stats from your basic stats and your armor.

\section*{Role-playing}

\subsection*{Name}

It is a good idea to give your character a name. Your fellow adventurers and the GR will need to refer to your character a lot, so make sure to pick one that you don't mind saying and hearing a lot.

\subsection*{Background}

Giving your character an interesting background makes telling the story of your adventures easier.

What drives your character? What made them pursue their chosen profession, i.e., their classes? Why do they wield the weapon they do? Is their armor a family heirloom?
