Character Creation

You all have characters already, but I'd like to see some character introductions, accompanied by an image, and a link to a GP character sheet.

Before we get to that though, let's decide what level we are playing at. I know some of you are 5th or 6th. Discuss here.

Yikes, I got greedy...

I made Khiiral 8th Level.

Well maybe we'll play at 8th level then. Let's see what the others say.

If everyone else is lower, I can scale mine back.

Let's see what everyone's got currently, then we'll go with whatever sounds fun. :-)

Zale is currently 6th level.

Full disclosure: I have a 5th level version of him in Dramasailor's nautical game. It might be more fun if the two versions were more than a level apart.

Phillip is a lvl 5; barb 4/rang 1

I also made my charaxter 8th level. He's a rogue.

8 works for me. Jack is 6 currently so up 2 is easy.

Okay, let's make it official: make your characters 8th level, then submit them. When done, post an intro on this thread. Include an image, and link to the sheet (or simply post as your PC). Backstories can be as simple or elaborate as you wish. I can't promise to incorporate any of it, but if it will help you roleplay, then do it.

Next order of business: In my head, the Kestrel is a cargo vessel (with maybe a little smuggling on the side) that also occasionally takes on passengers (see Phillip). Think Millennium Falcon. If you combine Han & Chewie into one person you'll get Valrakas. BUT I'm flexible on that. What would you like the ship and its crew to be? Merchants? Privateers? Bloodthirsty pirates? Let's not be Navy, but anything outside of that is fair game as long as we all end up on the same page. Hash it out here.

Can we roll stats?

I like the Millennium Falcon type deal best, though wouldn't be opposed to privateer or pirate vessel either.

Or how about explorers? We could be the U.S.S. Enterprise.

Yes, you may roll for stats. 4d6, drop the lowest, assign as you see fit. If your rolls suck, you may use point buy instead.

All WOTC published sources are acceptable. UA, ask me first (but I will say yes).

Explorers would be fun too, yeah.

I will see if the dice gods have blessings for me.

Khiiral comes from a noble house training in Sword and bow. He excelled in marksmanship but grew tired of upholding his family legacy and also bowing to military officials. He began to dabble in the arcane arts to infuse his arrows with devastating magic. He eventually left the recluse Elven Forrests and took to a life on the sea where he met his current captain.

I also like the idea of being smugglers.

So, Ian is privateer of sorts, and originally was from Scotland. I almost want to say that he was from OUR version of Scotland in the 1600s or so, and fell through some sort of magic portal while drunk. He wound up where we are now, and proved himself a worthy sailor. I'm leaning towards the idea of being semi-but not quite legal transporters. Fortune seekers. Something Firefly like?

Hoping for epic stats...

After rolling: Haha that 7! So I ended up with 7, 12, 12, 13, 17, 10 before racial adjustments and possible ASI's.

After fiddling around: Nah, I'll stick with point buy. Thanks!

Allright RNG Work with me this time Phillip needs some new clothes!!! :D

15, 9, 12, 14, 14, 7

I think phillip might have be bette with the point buy... but having some of thoes low number... hummm... :thinking_face:...
