+
+### 2 - Base Character Setup
+
+[Setup the base character values](#base-character)
+
+### 3 - Assign a behavior
+
+- Assign a controller class
+
+![Assign AIController](09_AssignAIController.png)
+
+- The controller contains the behavior tree that automatically runs. To make a custom behavior, refer to the [chapter](../CreateNewBehavior/Content.md)
+
+### 4 - Setup the drop table
+
+There is a variable in the `BP_AuraEnemy` that child classes can fill to define a drop table
+
+![Setup Drop Table](10_SetDropTable.png)
+
+The key is the class that spawn when character dies and value is the probability of spawning.
+Any actor class can spawn
+
+## Create Playable Character
+
+### 1 - Create the Character Blueprint
+
+- Create a subclass of `BP_PlayerCharacterBase`
+
+![Create Playable Character Blueprint](11_CreatePlayerCharacterBlueprint.png)
+
+### 2 - Base Character Setup
+
+[Setup the base character values](#base-character)
+
+## Base Character
+
+### 1 - Setup Mesh and Animations
+
+- Create an animation blueprint for the mesh.
+
+Make a new ABP or instanciate the template animation blueprint or use your own
+
+![Create Animation Blueprint](02_CreateAnimationBlueprint.png)
+
+- Setup the character mesh and its animation blueprint. Also pick a weapon mesh if you need one
+
+- Adjust the mesh position and capsule size
+
+- Create the hit react animation montage
+
+- Setup combat animations
+
+Fill up the map of combat montages in the character defaults combat interface
+
+All possible key are sub tags of `CombatMontage.*`
+
+A reaction to `CombatMontage.HitReact` animation is required
+
+![Assign Animations](03_AssignAnimations.png)
+
+> To use multiple animation for a same tag, we need to override the behavior of the `GetCombatMontage` method
+
+### 2 - Set the combat socket locations
+
+- override the function `GetCombatSocketLocation` and setup socket for each subtag of `CombatSocket.*`
+
+![Set Combat Sockets](04_CombatSocketLocation.png)
+
+### 3 - Handle death behavior
+
+- override the event `Die` that executes on the server.
+
+- for enemies, the parent class will execute the multicast event `M_HandleDeath`. We can override it to defined a custom behavior when the character dies
+
+![Handle Death Behavior](05_HandleDeath.png)
+
+- The parent call will manage ragdoll, weapon drop, movement stop and remove health widget
+
+- The custom implementation would typically play a death sound and dissolve meshes
+
+### 4 - Character Class Info
+
+- Create data asset blueprint from `CharacterClassInfo`
+
+![Create Character Class](06_CreateCharacterClass.png)
+
+- Set the name of the class
+
+- Set the class tag to a subtag of `CharacterClass.`
+
+- Add base effects
+    - Subclass of `GE_StartingAttributes_Base` to define primary attributes scaling
+    - `GE_Character_SecondaryAttributes` to scale secondary attributes
+    - `GE_Character_PassiveRegeneration` to grant passive health and mana regeneration
+
+- Add the base abilities
+    - The `GA_HitReact` Ability to have a reaction to damages
+    - Any other ability you will need
+
+- Add starting effects
+    - `GE_RestoreMaxLife` to grant full life to the unit when starting game. As the maximum life is only calculated after starting attributes is granted, all unit start with 0 hp.
+    - `GE_RestoreMaxMana` if the unit has mana
+
+![Filled Class Info](07_FilledClassInfo.png)
+
+- Assign the data asset to the character blueprint
+
+![Assign Data Asset](08_AssignClassDataAsset.png)
+
+
+## Character Standards
+
+Make sure to create sound for all situations
+
+- Footsteps
+- Getting hurt
+- Death
