My preference in characters would be the Barbarian but the Fighter would work as well

Barbarian would be great. Still getting my bearings with 5e. I have the PHB and the Tal'Dorei Supplement. Goliath/Barbarian?

Not using that book -- PHB and SCAG -- however if you want something unusual what about a Yroc (aka Orc) Barbarian ... nuttin like been green ta make ya mean ;) in my world they are no more evil than any other barbarian clan they just have a bad rep cuz they are one of the more successful barbarian clans

but half-orc or human works too

I'll go with a Half-Orc Barbarian. :)

Okay the rules for character creation are there just make your rolls in here

10-4

If you can get your character submitted quickly enough I can slip them into the group before the group goes on their first adventure take too long and they may have to wait til the group gets back

I've got to put a bit of thought into it for sure. Not sure when your deadline is for the first adventure. But, no worries either way. I plan to stick around on GP. You can count on it. I'm already writing a few ideas down on this Half-Orc. I'll get it to you asap.

Well it might be useful to roll your Attributes and your HP and get those out of the way -- do you want any help on the character I am pretty good at bouncing ideas off of

Do I use the 27 point buy option and build up to level 5 from there?

...and roll for HP?

Please read the Character Creation Parameters for this Game?

Ok. Kroog is a Level 5 Half-Orc Barbarian. Here are the Attributes I have so far.

Strength = 17 [+3]
Dexterity = 14 [+2]
Constitution = 14 [+2]
Intelligence = 12 [+1]
Wisdom = 10 [+0]
Charisma = 8 [-1]

HP Rolls (1d12-4 = 8, so each level will be 1d4+8+2. . .or 1d4+10)

---

Kroog at 5th level has 66 hit points.

Also - for my 4th level Attribute increase I would like to increase my Dexterity to a 15 [+2].

I've worked on Kroog here on the Character creator as well. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly beneficial! In general I went with the Outlander background. . .perhaps he was a warrior of a clan/tribe and they were destroyed or defeated? Maybe he is the only (or one of a few) survivors of the clan/tribe.

@A_True_Believer You may want to increase your Strength to 18 to adjusting your Dexterity, as that would increase your hit and damage bonuses to +4. A Dexterity of 15 only helps game-wise if you plan to increase it again to 16 eventually.

Also, you get maximum hit points at first level, so I would use that number instead of your unneeded fifth roll.

Thanks! As per your suggestion I will instead increase my Strength to an 18 [+3].

In order to take advantage of the Max hit points at first level I will make the following adjustment if permissible:

It would be first level at 14 (1d12 + 2) + my first four rolls from above = for a total HP of 69.
