Character Creation

Put it here. We're building the world. You decide if this is something only you know at this point, or if you've shared it with some or all of the other PCs.

I may have additional questionsfor some of you. When we're done with those, we'll start on your Bonds.

Jana was born in the great desert, more specifically, she was born in the Golden Sky Oasis. This oasis is the home base of a tribe of halflings who roam the desert. They work as guides for the outsiders who are foolish enough to come here, they trade with tribes at the border of the desert, and most importantly they keep the desert safe from those who would harm it.
Jana's mother was a druid, and her mother before her. They taught her to see the beauty and power of the sands. How to exist without food and water and to hear the voice of the desert animals.
When her magic allows some area of the desert to flourish, she can see her home oasis for a few seconds. That way she knows she is doing good.
As a reminder of her home, she carries a small vial of water from the oasis.

Swordsman (SJoyner72):

1. Your base damage is indicated on your sheet as both d8 and d10. The latter is the correct one.

2. Two HPs also indicated. 25/25 is the correct one.

3. I think the above was causes by copy-pasting from the sample sheet. Also carried over was the sample gear:
Your gear should be:
4. Based on your gear, your armor should be 3, not 2.

5. Don't forget to add a cool avatar! :-)

Soro's clan have been water finders since the great Pharaohs. At a young age the children of the clan are brought before the seekers (a group of animals that have been called by the clans shamans) and these seekers select the child they will be bonded too. Through a long 3 day ritual the seeker and child are magically sustained underwater at the clans reservoir. When they emerge from the water they are then bonded to clan and land to search the desert and find any available water.

Soro's was chosen by a painted dog that has quick reflexes, camouflage, keen senses and is trained to search but is savage, stubborn.

I love it! Just need your character sheet submission now.

Keep in mind how rare water is around here, and how precious Jana's tribe's oasis, and Soro's clan's reservoir are! It's hard to imagine the two clans having no interaction, so work out here the nature of that relationship.

I figured we would cover it in the bonds section.

Sure, yeah. I love that part of character creation. Just need to get JoHoover's stuff in, then we'll move on to Bonds.

Soro's has been submitted to the game.

Soro Samma N'Sei

I love the avatar!

Only 1 correction on the sheet:

1. Your CON modifier should be 0. Refer to this table.

After SJoyner's responds to this, were on to Bonds!

The Swordsman came across the Sword of Vengeance in an ancient tomb of a long forgotten warrior (how he came to arrive there is a tale for another day). The sword looks ancient beyond years with its weathered and pitted blade, though looks are deceiving, for it is uncannily sharp and it cuts deep, leaving gaping wounds. The worn handle is of an exotic wood, and the heavy round pommel bears indecipherable hieroglyphs etched in its surface. The cross guard is a simple curve made of the same strange metal as the blade.


The Swordsman's fighting style is 'beautiful' only in that it is brutally efficient. An observer would perhaps see the Swordsman's style as strange in that there are times when it appears that the sword itself is making the attacks or parries as he fights.

Badass!!!

Please note the corrections I posted above.

Okay, onto Bonds. You can just assign them yourself, but a great way is to share them with the group, and people can volunteer for them. That way, it's a collaborative effort. Also, remember that you can make up your own bonds rather than use the ones in your class playbook.

I have sworn to protect Akh.

I worry about the ability of Soro to survive in the dungeon.

Jana is soft, but I will make them hard like me

Swordsman, describe the event (or chain of events) that led to you swearing an oath to protect Akh. Is Akh or anyone else aware of this vow?

Seems tailor made for Jana, but I leave that to the two of you.

It was with Akh that the Swordsman first delved into the forgotten tomb. Akh was searching for ancient lore and legends, the Swordsman was a caravan guard at the time. Nearly the entire party were killed by the stone construct guardians of the tomb. The Swordsman with his ancient blade and Akh fought their way back to the surface. Bleeding from a dozen wounds, the Swordsman fell into darkness and awoke days later in an oasis, having been saved by the wizard.

I've found one but can't put it on my character sheet.

Did it for you. :-)
