These spells work similarly to that of a wizard. The difference would be that the spells are already determined, only the selection process of which spell to be memorized for the day must be made.

Bard:
Bards work like the wizard, except how the amount of spells allowed per day are tracked. This plays no significant role in spell selection though.

Druid, Paladin, and Ranger:
Work like the wizard.

Sorcerer:
Sorcerers work like the bard.

Step 7 – Description: In this area feel free to type anything you may choose, however this can be seen by other players. This is a description of what the created creature looks like.

Step 8 – Notes: This is the catch all. Unfortunately d20pro does not account for everything that your imagination may come up with…yet!

You have created a character, congratulations. Game on!!!
