- Step 1: Pick a race from the Mass Effect universe
- The numbers under each attribute are the starting value and the maximum value for that attribute. Starting values are free points that do not use Attribute Points found in Step 2.
- Human
- Asari
- Turian
- Krogan
- Quarian
- Salarian
- Batarian
- Drell
- (Vorcha) (Potential)
- Step 2: Pick and spend attribute points
- These points are spent in your eight primary attributes (BOD, AGI, REA, STR, WIL, LOG, INT, and CHA). One point is spent per attribute rating and cannot exceed the metatype maximum.
- Step 3: Choose biotics or resonance
- Biotics is used by biotic users, and Resonance is used by Technomancers.
- Step 4: Purchase qualities
- At creation, characters begin with 25 Karma. Before anything else, these are spent purchasing qualities. At creation, characters can only possess at most 25 Karma worth of Positive Qualities and 25 Karma worth of Negative Qualities. Negative qualities can be bought off later.
- Step 5: Purchase skills
- At creation, it takes one skill point to either get a new skill, skill specialization, or raise that skill rating by 1 point. Skill Group points can also be spent at 1 point per skill group rating.
- These skill points cannot be spent on Magic and Resonance based skills unless you have a Magic or Resonance rating.
- Characters start with free Knowledge and Language skill points equal to (INT + LOG) x 2. They are spent the same way as skill points, but only for Knowledge and Language skills. Characters also begin with one free native language.
- The highest any skill can be raised at this point is 6. All skill points must be spent at this step and cannot be kept after character completion.
