Making a character is a two-part process. Use both of these pages together - they’re designed to be read in parallel, not sequentially.

Thinking Up Your Character
The creative side. Who are you? Where did you come from? What drives you on expeditions into the Frost? This page has questions for the GM, backstory prompts, and links to browse all your options - Ancestries, Classes, Backgrounds, and Spells.
Character Sheet Setup
The technical side. Once you have a sense of who your character is, this page walks you through building them in Nimbound and setting up your inventory in the Frostpunk Inventory Manager.
Browse Your Options
- Ancestries List - What kind of person are you?
- Classes List - How do you fight, survive, and contribute?
- Backgrounds List - What’s your history, and what passive ability does it grant?
- Spell List - If your class uses magic, what can you cast?
