Creating Your Character

Ability Score Increases

When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy.

Choose one of the following options:

• Chipmunk - Difficult terrain doesn't cost you extra movement. Your bushy tail can store up to 3 small or tiny objects safely.
• Racoon - You can take the hide action as a bonus action. You are always inclined to wash your food before eating it. Not doing so grants you disadvantage on your next check.
• Wolf - While in melee range of a hostile creature, you have advantage on attack rolls against that creature if at least one of your allies is within 5 feet of that same creature and the ally isn't incapacitated.
