Ok, looking things over, this is supposed to be a Monster Hunting party. Going Ranger Monster slayer. Ranged support for our front line peeps. Taking point buy.

Lets see what they dice say

Rolls



stats - (4d6, 4d6, 4d6, 4d6, 4d6, 4d6)

4d6 - ( 1, 4, 6, 6 ) = 17

4d6 - ( 1, 5, 4, 1 ) = 11

4d6 - ( 3, 3, 6, 2 ) = 14

4d6 - ( 6, 5, 6, 6 ) = 23

4d6 - ( 4, 3, 4, 5 ) = 16

4d6 - ( 1, 6, 1, 4 ) = 12

So that is 16,10,12,18,13,11.... Smiles.. Sounds like the best rolls I have ever gotten....
OOC:
Applied a character now.

4d6 : (3362) = 14

4d6 : (6566) = 23

Raven Queen Warlock ok?
Looked it over as I hadn't heard of it until now, very cool concept and good potential for story elements. Yes, that is okay.
Quote:
If the bladsinger bows out I'll probably make a wizard instead (or if the GM is fine with a bladesinger and an abjuration wizard, given their differences). If someone else wants to make a rogue they should! I'll make due with whatever class(es) we have left if indecision makes me lol.
Wizard is fine! You guys shouldn't step on each other's toes at all for the most part. Again, don't worry too much about class overlap, there's alot of you guys. And you've all gone with very different style characters so far.
Quote:
Next step is that specific goody you suggested. A magic sword would be nice or special armor like Elven chain which used to be light armor if I remember correctly. Or were you thinking of something of lesser value?
Yes! There will be a few options that I will send each of you in a private note in this thread once the everyone has solidified and submitted their characters. Don't add anything yet though, it'll be apart of the introduction to the story. *wink*
Quote:
I will go the risky route: *or if you're a risk taker, 3d6 x 9, take the 6 highest rolls.

Edit after rolling: That did not pan out well at all.
Lmao, please go ahead and create your character using the standard array.
Quote:
*Looks at people rolling*
*Original D&D flasbacks of doom*

I'll use the stat array and make a half-elf paladin of Tyranny. I was thinking of belonging to an order that subjugates evil and chaos through force and acts as intimidating jailors for all that would threaten civilization.

I'll likely use a shield and one-hander to be one of the tanky ones.

And 10 players? That's not a party. That's an army!
Rolling can indeed be dangerous, but also allows for the chance of some great ability scores! Unfortunately, that sometimes results with some very athletic farmhands instead rather than heroes. XD

I like it! Sounds like that will make a good guild member!

Indeed it is! Or more accurately named, A Guild! lol

Sounds good! Character has been approved!

Looks like you're one of the lucky ones! Those are some beefy ability scores! Your character has been approved.

I’ve decided to go gnome abjuration wizard. Given we don’t have a cleric or bard yet, I’m planning on leaning into the support role with buffs and debuffs, with a few attack spells here and there to take on groups and weak enemies so the heavy hitters can focus on the biggest group/baddie in a given combat

The Bladesinger is a high elf. Is that all you needed?

Stats: 8/14/14/17/12/10
Character: Abjuration Wizard, Gnome

I've submitted my character sheet as-is. I haven't written anything for backstory yet, because I'm not sure if there's an area we need to be in at the start of the campaign or lore we need to know before fleshing it out? Should I just make up a hometown or should I choose one near the area, Keyleth? I have no idea how important that sort of thing is to this campaign.

Oh, and as a last thought, can we roll on the d100 trinket table (pg. 159-161 PHB)? It says in the book we can but I figure it's best to ask (it's just a "simple item lightly touched by mystery," according to the PHB).

Is it possible to have a +1 weapon?

Mountain Dwarf Blood Hunter (Order of the Lycan - Bear Hybrid)

A 4'2 grizzly bear looks fun! lol
OOC:
EDIT: Any way to reroll that 1 on the hit die? lol

Rolls

HP (15 at first level, 2d10+10 for levels 2&3) - (2d10+25)

(101) + 25 = 36

Hmmm, my initial answer is no, but with the lack of enthusiasm with healer type characters I've seen and my curiosity in how it'll play, I will say yes for the time being. Flying and resistance at a low level is a concern for me, but since I'm a newish DM, I'd like to see how it plays first. So, yes. That is okay.

Yes, go ahead and submit your character when ready and I will look over it.

Don't worry too much about world lore, I will do my best to make the world as fleshed out as possible, but it wouldn't be extremely extensive. Just think of how your character came about and why they would end up in Monster Hunters Guild. I'd rather your character have a personality and a motive behind what they are doing.

I'm not familiar with it. To be honest, I mostly use content available online (broke college student). Would you mind posting a picture of the table in this thread and I'll look over it.

It is possible, goodies will could include something to that respect, but again, it will have to do with the individual and once everyone has submitted their characters. It will be included with the introduction of the story.

That sounds awesome! And adorable! lol. Hope you pick black bear for your appearance. XD

Oh god, yes. Please take the average for your hit die for that 1. I always take average on my characters and forgot to mention that was an option. If anyone else has that issue of a rolling a 1 or 2 for health, please take average of your Hit Die. From now on, hit die rolls will roll as they lie though for future levels.
Jan 29, 2020 1:24 pm
I think I got everything ready for submission. Please let me know if I missed something.
Jan 29, 2020 3:26 pm
roll for health

I'll take the average. lol

Rolls

hp - (1d8+1)

(1) + 1 = 2

hp - (1d8+1)

(3) + 1 = 4

Jan 29, 2020 3:32 pm
The goodie for me would have to be the spiked armor, since barbarians don't get that item just from becoming a Battlerager. Although I also took proficiency in smithing tools, so I could make one for myself....
Jan 29, 2020 3:37 pm
Can I take the Toll the Dead cantrip?
Jan 29, 2020 5:08 pm
For my magic tidbit I'll take a Holy Avenger?
.....
Huh? No go on that? Hum. I have no idea honestly, but something related to intimidation and fear or law enforcement would be fitting to the character. Or else we can always go for a fun weapon or shield or armor.

Much appreciated!

I would like to play a Half-orc Fighter (Slayer archetype, if allowed)
Jan 29, 2020 7:46 pm
A separate area to post character description and some known knowledge would be great.

No problem, not fun playing a hero with dinky stats.

And sounds good! I like it.

I will get that going. If you guys want to create previous relationships between your characters or anything like that, I'm good with that. At this point, you all would have been in the guild and have known each other for about a year.
