Creating Your Character in Foundry VTT
Foundry Virtual Tabletop is a great platform for TTRPGs, but it has a bit of a learning curve. Here’s how you create your character:
- Once you are logged in to Foundry, go to the actor directory. It’s the fourth icon on top of the chat box on the right side of the screen. See image #1.
- Click the “Create Actor” Button. (Image #1)
- Give your character a name and put them in the “Contestants” folder.
- When you hit the “Create Actor” button, your character sheet will open automatically.
- If you use D&D beyond, you can click the button by your character’s name to import your character. Follow the instructions in the prompt. You can see the red and black button for D&D Beyond at the in image #2.
- You can drag and drop what you need from the compendia into your character sheet. The compendium tab is on the top of the chat box at the right side of the screen, see image #3.
- Use the folders under the “Item” heading, with names starting with DDB. They should have everything you need.
- When you drag your class onto the character sheet, it should ask you to select that character level, and then load the appropriate features to the sheet for you.
- If you’re new to the Coliseum or if it’s that start of the season, you get the items that are the starting items based upon the character you create.
