Class Experience

In this one-time course, players will be guided through creating their very own character for playing in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. This will serve as a refresher on the basic rules of D&D, a pre-requisite to join an ongoing campaign, an opportunity for players to ask questions about character sheets, and a show-and-tell for those that complete their characters during the class. 

We will use DnDBeyond.com as a free resource for creating our characters; players should have an account so that they may follow along during class and create their own character. I will be sharing my screen on the DnDBeyond.com character creator and walk through:
- Origin (race)
- Class
- Ability Scores
- Proficiencies
- Character Personality and Background
- Starting Equipment

By the end of class, students should either be finished creating a character, or have a good understanding on how to complete their character. 

Students who sign up for this class should have either taken my "Intro to Dungeons and Dragons: Beginner Basics" course OR have a basic knowledge of the mechanics of D&D 5th Edition from elsewhere. This course can be taken in preparation for an upcoming campaign, starting up within the next month.

Learning Goals

By the end of class, students should either be finished creating a character, or have a good understanding on how to complete their character on their own.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Part of D&D involves combat, as adventurers might have to resort to physical combat to defeat monsters and foes. However, in games that I run for this age range, combat is not a focus in the game experience. Any in-game combat will always be described in an age-appropriate manner.
Supply List
Players will need an account on DnDBeyond.com for character creation purposes, and will need to be logged in at the start of class.
External Resources
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
    Sources
    We will be referencing the rules in the Player's Handbook for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition, as well as the free online source DnDBeyond.com for character creation.
