Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Game Master Help for a newbie...

Hello! I've been working on a new campaign for some friends and I've been able to understand a lot of how GM mode works, but what I'm not quite understanding is characters, so if someone could either answer my question or point me in the right direction on this...


I'm wondering about character creation. How does this work when starting a new GM campaign? Do I have to assign them a character or do they create one?

If they do have the ability to create one, is there a way that I can make premade characters for them?

I read in another post that someone used vendors after starting as somewhat of a character creator, I'd actually really like to do this, but not sure how to go about it...

Thanks!

If you start a new campaign, simply invite your players to join and they will enter character creation. So they get to create their own character. You get to set the level they start at and get to choose between "start in rags" or have them start with pre-generated equipment.
If you prefer to control the starting equipment, have them start in rags and provide a few vendors with the gear/equipment you want to be available for your players.
