First of all, you must choose the gender and name of your character and choose a portrait.

Custom portraits

As of version 0.1.13.0, Underrail supports custom player portraits.

  • Portrait files must be placed in your Documents\My Games\Underrail\CustomPortraits\ folder.
  • Two PNG files should be provided (but it seems to work with large portrait only)
    • Large 100x100 portrait with _l suffix
    • Small 50x50 portrait with _s suffix
    • Any filenames will do as long as they have the necessary suffixes (eg. my portrait_l.png and my portrait_s.png)
  • All custom portraits will be available to both male and female characters.

Restart the game if you're not seeing your custom portraits in character creation.

Base abilities

Main article: Base abilities

You have 5 points to spend on your base ability scores. All base abilities start at 5. You can increase base ability scores to a maximum of 10, or decrease them to a minimum of 3. You can increase base abilities above this limit on subsequent level-ups.

After character creation, your character will gain a new base ability point every four levels.

Import

With this option, you may import any character you have previously exported (eg. a character from an older version) and start a new game with that character. In addition to level and other stats, imported characters also retain all their items from previous games.

Exported characters are stored in your Documents\My Games\Underrail\Characters\ folder.

Skills tab

Tab2 skills.png
Main article: Skills

You have a total of 120 skill points to spend on the various skills available. You may spend up to 15 points on any skill during character creation.

You can click and hold to assign more than one point with a single click.

After character creation, your character will gain 40 skill points every level.

Feats tab

Tab3 feats.png
Main article: Feats

You must pick 2 feats. Your base abilities and skill levels dictate which feats are available.

You can browse all feats with the Show all feats option.

After character creation, your character will gain a new feat every two levels.
