Starting From Scratch: A Guide to Level 0 Play for D&D 5e

In Dungeons and Dragons, you always begin as a person with great power and might. However, for some people this could be a little disconnecting. Starting as a powerful person may not feel right, or perhaps you want to really experience how your character developed their skills and abilities.

That is what this aims to solve. Start out as a 0-level commoner, and find out for yourself how you become your level 1 class. Or, you may find during the course of your first adventures that you become something totally different! 

This file contains the rules for level-0 character design, three tiers of level 0 advancement, suggestions for how to run a level 0 adventures for each tier, and even a selection of homebrew backgrounds specifically tailored for commoners.

Begin your journey from the very beginning. Be warned, though: Your life will never be the same. You will face challenges, obstacles, and even death itself, but you will love every moment of it.
