Creating a Character Above First Level

From LegendWiki

Many games feature characters higher than 1st level, and feature characters who are much more significant in terms of power and capability. To start play with a character higher than 1st level, follow the steps below.

Ability Selection

Ability scores are generated in the same way when making a 1st level character. Then, Character Advancement and increase your ability scores by the amounts given for a character of your level. For example, a 7th-level barbarian with the Rage track would likely choose to increase Strength by +4 and Constitution by +2, and could increase any other score by +2 as well (depending on the specific character).

Race, Class, and Skill Selection

All of these are done exactly as if making a 1st level character. Your class choice, as well as any tracks acquired through multiclassing, is the same as a 1st-level character; however, you gain all the abilities possessed by a character of your level. You have ranks in your chosen skills equal to your level.

Feat Selection

Choose a number of feats equal to the number of feat slots given for your level in Character Advancement. You must meet all prerequisites for a feat at the level you acquire the slot for that feat (so you can’t put a feat in the level 6 slot if it has a prerequisite of character level 9).

Spell Selection

Choose the abilities you want your character to possess at every level where you have a choice between different spells, powers, or abilities.

Item Selection

Choose a set of items, consumables, and other commodities from the list given in Equipment#Items and Characters. Determine what kinds of items you are entitled to, and how many of each kind you can use. Characters who have chosen the Full Buy-In option receive many fewer items than normal.
