Loreweaver✦ A story-first character creator
Characters that start as people
Loreweaver builds fifth edition characters from the story out: who they were before the adventure, what they lost, what they are still arguing with. Every rule comes from the SRD 5.1, and building one by hand is free and unlimited.

Choose every option yourself, step by step. The engine keeps the sheet legal as you go, and nothing is capped or counted.

Let the interviewer ask
