One of the best ways to improve your roleplaying skills in D…D is by creating a better character background. Creating a better D…D character background will give you, and your Dungeon Master, more opportunities and character hooks for roleplaying. Here are a few tips on how to create a better D…D character background by using easy to create plots hooks and personality traits.

Pick one thing that the character will die for. This thing should be carefully thought out, as it could easily cause the demise of the character. Maybe your character cannot stand slavery. Whenever he runs into it in his travels he is forced to address it and correct it. And, he will fight to the death to do so. This will be a focal point of the character due to the deadly nature of the characteristic.

Pick three things that your character will always fight for. These three things are things that will instantly cause the character to go into fight mode. He may not fight to the death over these, but he will always address them appropriately. Perhaps the player just can’t stand it when people insult him about his short stature. Or maybe he hates it when people make fun of any one of his adventuring comrades.

Decide on one thing that your character fears the most. Perhaps your character has an intense fear of flying and resists any flight or levitation spells that are cast on him. Your character may have an intense fear of snakes, no matter how big or small. Or maybe your character has an intense fear of a specific creature, like werewolves, vampires, liches, or ghosts.

Pick one characteristic that defines your character to other people. This characteristic is what NPCs or other players usually refer to your character as being. “Yeah that Fighter, he’s crazy.” A crazy fighter could be someone that fights in a completely unpredictable matter. Perhaps there is method to his madness, but if there is only he apparently knows what it may be.

Create one additional character that is important and somehow related to your character. This could be a meddling uncle that always seems to show up in your business at inconvenient times. Or, it could be a childhood enemy that has followed you much of your life. He’s often poked fun at you when you’re down, but has also shown an act of heroism on random occasions which leads you to wonder if he’s really good, or really bad.

These seven characteristics don’t take too long to figure out when you’re creating a character. Decide on one thing you would die over, three things that you would fight for, one thing that your character is intensely scared of, one personality characteristic and one supplementary character that is somehow connected to yours. By answering each of these questions listed above, you can easily develop a more fleshed out character. This gives you more roleplaying opportunities and hooks for roleplaying due to the fact that you’ve developed a better D…D character background.
