Characters creation thread

my sheet will be ready to upload tomorrow. we definitely need a frontliner.

fyi i'm going fighter-1/sorcerer-4, instead of ranger. (archer fighting style & a bit less squishy). i'll stick to draconic bloodline origin.

if i'm following our thread correctly, i'm on the hook as the officer, huh?

Nice of you to volunteer 👍🏻

Are we using fixed or rolling HP?

If rolling below are my rolls

So I am creating a Copper Dragonborn Fighter lv5, or I have attached his character sheet to look at.

Thou I am thinking of changing to Half-Orc Fighter.

Vachel - Officer
Cryst - Healer
Malchuck - Scout / Healer?
Zegar - Infantry / Standard-Bearer?

Vachel Caerbryn, half elf fighter/sorcerer, is uploaded. Still working on fleshing out backstory, but sheet is ready to go!

Cryst can heal, but is apt to throw fire spells. Does have Fireball too.

I elected you first!
But seriously, we can both heal so we should be in good shape.

Just a friendly reminder for you guys : healing is by design underpowered unless you have some way to boost it. The way you are meant to keep your HP efficiently is to prevent damage from being done in the first place.
Healing can help when bad luck put you in a bad spot, especially when you get low in HP (because of the KO rule).

Now that I've reminded you of that design point, play the game however you want. You won't break it :)

Yup. That's why I plan on hiding in the corner and then running away! :)

After reading the above I have gone Half-Orc for better damage taking.

Have adjusted Character Sheet.
Zegar half-orc Fighter/Champion with two weapon style/dual wielder feat.

@Mathfuric: that's a pretty straightforward build. While I have zero problem with that, know that it'll be up to you to use the few options it offers in interesting ways.

A fifth player joined the game, so now we're full.
I'll post the rules I'll use to explore the "action-oriented" gameplay, and we'll start the campaign on Monday. I'll do my best to go through your submitted characters over the week-end.

In the meantime, I'll answer any question you may have about rules, options, etc...
Polish your background so that you have a clear picture of you character's personality.
Also, if you want to draft some ideas about your opinion on the other members of your squad, it might help make the whole thing more vivid. Relationships don't need to be symmetrical.

I will try my best to make him interesting:)

Hey, can you port the stats, saves, skills, spells and link to your D&D Beyond sheet in the GP sheet please ? Some of it is there, but some is still missing.
I'm not asking for full descriptions of everything if you prefer to manage it from DDB, but having it listed in there is easier for me.

Added a bunch o' stuff, but I'm definitely not sure what spells I'll generally be preparing until I know a bit more about what we are doing and maybe what Cryst wants to prepare.

I know my background story, but having a bit of writer's block writing the whole thing down.

Don't forget to add the Light cantrip to your list : it is free for Light Clerics.
