Adventurers League Character Creation & Guidelines

 

Adventurers League uses Dungeons & Dragons 5.5 (2024) rules.

 

To start a new character in AL, you are welcome to build a character at level 1 for a Tier 1 game (listed at levels 1-4), or a character at level 5 for a Tier 2 game (listed at levels 5-10). Or feel free to use one of our pre-generated characters below!

 

After every AL session, you are welcome to level up, and can change any aspect of your character build in between sessions - so don’t feel like you’re locked in!
