==The Characters==
Click the links below to learn more about the pregenerated characters available for this game. One overarching observation that I made during the character generation process was how similar in power level these characters were to starting Solar Exalted, from White Wolf's Exalted series. That may be nothing more than me projecting my own desire for these characters to be something greater than casual dungeon delving sociopaths, but I'm far from the first to draw these parallels. My years of experience with Exalted probably shows in the names too.

All characters were generated by hand using option two from the Player's Handbook for stats, with one minor adjustment. Instead of adding one to two stats at level four, I added three to two stats. This will be a small perk for folks choosing to play the pregens. I also used the equipment guidelines from the DMG to establish how many magic items each character would have. This was at times very challenging.

===Building Your Own Character===
Anyone interested in creating their own character for the game may do so, following the instructions appearing on the [http://www.wizards.com/dnd/event.aspx?x=dnd/4new/event/dndencounters official page], then leveling up per the rules in the Essentials books to 5th. You may equip your character with any mundane gear you see fit, within reason, and select the following magical items to enhance your character's abilities:
*One sixth level or lower
*One fifth level or lower
*One fourth level or lower
*Any combination of magical items, including potions and alchemical items, with a gold piece value equal to or less than 840GP
All characters are subject to my review and approval.
