This option allows you to leave as much of the character creation as you like completely up to the site - here’s an example of a character created using Randomize, with the only parameter set by me being the character level. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can try Randomize. If, however, you’re a more experienced D&D player - or you have a need that the Quick Build option isn’t going to meet - you don’t have to use the Quick Build option. If you’re looking to get in and out and have a character ready to go, Quick Build works.

For an example of a Quick Build character, here’s Golar, the Goliath Barbarian. It should be pointed out, if you choose the Quick-Build option, D&D Beyond does literally everything in terms of creating a 1st level character of your chosen race and class. The Standard approach is how I usually make a character, but for a player new to the service Quick Build may be ideal. The character creator allows you six characters on a free account, with three options available for you depending on your comfort level. You can sign in with either your Twitch or Gmail accounts and create a free account, which will immediately give you access to all of the services’ tools.

If you don’t already have a D&D Beyond account, you’ll be asked to make an account in order to access the character creator and other options. However, it should be noted that this all takes place in your browser - the D&D Beyond app doesn’t have character sheets available. It has a wide variety of options for character creation that can definitely do a lot for your upcoming game, and you don’t have to keep erasing and re-writing when you go digital. We’ve talked about Character Creation before, so what I want to do here is to set up how to use D&D Beyond in particular to help do the work for you. D&D Beyond is a robust online utility for D&D 5e players, and one of the ways it’s most helpful is that it can be used to create a character. As people are discovering online D&D, however, they’re also discovering D&D Beyond, a site that allows them to access a lot of their favorite Dungeons and Dragons content online. Even as COVID-19 restrictions relax, people are still indoors for extended lengths of time, so playing D&D online has never been more popular.
