5E Detailed Step By Step Character Creation Guide with Screenshots

[Gwydion]

Good morning, all. First let me say I know there are many resources already for creating characters in fantasy grounds including the FG wiki, Zacchaeus' great work, Rob2e's threads, etc. which are all great! I wanted to create a word document for myself with screenshots so that I could include a link on my fantasy grounds table (using Dulux-Oz's great Ole extension) for new players creating a player on my table for the very first time. Most times I will be there to help them but sometimes I can't! So, given I still get questions about how to walk people through character creation I created the attached document (Linked below. Too large to include). You can access it or download it from my dropbox folder here:

Be sure to check out the User Manual for FG as well. It is linked on the site under Help > User Manual and on the launch screen for FG. It includes a step-by-step walk-through of character creation in 5E with screenshots as well.

Thanks for the reminder, Doug. I updated my post to remind folks of the user manual as well. I have used the user manual VERY often over the past year!
