How to read a sheet

You only need five numbers to play.

Armor Class (AC): the number an enemy must roll to hit you.
Hit points (HP): how much damage you can take. At 0 you fall.
Attack bonus: roll a 20-sided die (d20), add this, and meet or beat the enemy's AC to hit.
Save DC: when your spell forces an enemy to resist, this is the number they must roll.
Skill bonus: when you try something risky, roll a d20 and add the matching skill.

On your turn you can move up to your speed and take one action. Some abilities use a bonus action (a quick extra) or a reaction (a response on someone else's turn). You get one of each per round.

Every character is a giff, one of the burly, hippo-headed folk of Wildspace who love firearms and military ranks, and serves on the same spelljamming ship: a sailing vessel that flies between the stars. All giff share three traits, listed on each sheet: Astral Spark, Hippo Build and Firearms Mastery.

DM notes

Character	Difficulty	Give it to
Marta (fighter)	Easiest	A first-time player
Pip (rogue)	Easy	Someone curious who will explore
Cadence (bard)	Medium	The table's performer
Dolgrin (cleric)	Medium	Someone who likes helping
Syllienne (wizard)	Hardest	Your most experienced or most careful player

Four players? Drop Cadence or Syllienne. Keep Dolgrin; healing stretches the fun.
Names and personalities are suggestions. Let players rename and re-flavor freely.
Rules check. Built from the 2024 rules and the giff from Spelljammer: Adventures in Space (2022), without a rulebook open. Compare each sheet against the books or the D&D Beyond builder before game night.
No guns at your table? Swap each pistol for a light crossbow (1d8, range 80/320 ft) and the musket for a heavy crossbow (1d10, range 100/400 ft).
Giff flavor. Loud, proud and fond of military titles. Encourage players to give themselves a rank, however unearned.
Printing. Each sheet prints on its own page in black on white; the colored panels and buttons are left out.
