Now, consider the classes available to you. Take the Bard for instance, a master of music and storytelling.

The journey from a mortal to an experienced character starts at level 1
Delving further into the character options, one of the first decisions you will make is about the species of your character. When you choose your character's species, you determine whether your character is a human or a member of a fantastical species, such as dragonborn or gnome. Every species has its own unique traits and abilities, shaping your character's capabilities and role within the party. For example, Dragonborns and Gnomes would have the following levels.

Dragonborn | Draconic Ancestry | Breath Weapon | Resistance to Damage |
Gnome | Darkvision, Dancing Lights | Gnome Cunning | Advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws against magic |
In addition to species traits, the game also offers a diverse range of cantrips. For example, "dancing lights" and "prestidigitation" are some of the cantrips available at the beginning.
Name | School | Spell Lists | Casting Time | Range | Components | Duration |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Dancing Lights | Illusion | Bard, Sorcerer, Wizard | 1 Action | 120 feet | V, S, M (A bit of phosphorus or a firefly) | 1 minute |
Prestidigitation | Transmutation | Bard, Sorcerer, Wizard | 1 Action | 10 feet | V, S | Up to 1 hour |
As you progress in your character's journey, you'll also have the opportunity to select subclasses, each providing unique features and abilities.

Any features in this subclass that use a psionic energy die use only the dice from this subclass.
Consider the Dwarf, raised from the earth in the elder days by a deity of the forge. Dwarves embody the spirit of resilience, strength, and craftsmanship.

For spellcasters, the Metamagic feature allows you to alter spells to suit your needs. You gain two metamagic options of your choice from metamagic options. The options are presented in alphabetical order, giving you the ability to customize your casting style and enhance your magical prowess. For instance:
Metamagic Option | Description |
---|---|
Careful Spell | When you cast a spell that forces other creatures to make saving throws, you can choose a number of those creatures equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one creature). Those creatures automatically succeed on their saving throws against the spell. |
Distant Spell | When you cast a spell that has a range of 5 feet or greater, you can double the spell's range. |
Empowered Spell | When you roll damage for a spell, you can reroll any of the damage dice. You must use the new rolls. |
Extended Spell | When you cast a spell that has a duration of 1 minute or longer, you can double its duration, to a maximum duration of 24 hours. |
For those drawn to the path of primal power, the Barbarian offers a path of unbridled rage and physical might. Barbarians draw on their inner fury to unleash devastating attacks. In addition to gaining the ability to rage, you gain proficiency in another skill of your choice from the skill list available to barbarians at level 1. In addition, while your rage is active, you can channel primal power when you attempt certain tasks.
The Druids harness the magic of nature, drawing upon the forces of animals, plants, and the elements. Druids embody the spirit of the wild, with the power to heal, shapeshift, and command the very elements. In this edition, they also gain the ability score improvement feat or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. The Druid's mastery over the elements makes them versatile healers and protectors of the natural world. They can transform into animals, and wield elemental destruction.
The Rogue, a master of stealth, cunning, and deception, thrives in the shadows. Beginning at level 1, you gain all the traits in the core rogue traits table and the rogue's level 1 features, which are listed in the rogue features table.
