Character building

Place any character building concerns here.

Open description contains much of the info you would want about where your will be and how it would be treated.

Other than for races, are any books restricted?

Also will be playing human warlock/wizard

Starter info:

Level 5. Standard Stat 27 points. 1 Magic Item and Common gear. Max level 1 and stated average for additional levels. Heavy on standard Races. Others race are taken poorly. Human area.

Try to stay with the PHB and Xanthar's Guide. Other sources are problematic.

Multiple class is fine if not expected.


______________________________________
Races:

At best here is only hills near by. So Dwarven PC will have to have traveled here to aid. Elves are not unheard of but only a few have really been seen and always with doubts. Halfling seems to always be around. Most try to ignore them. They are watched but thought to mostly harmless. Dragonborn are much scorned. Almost treated as monsters. Gnomes are tolerated and tend to be judged on their own merits as are half-elves. Half-orcs bring mix results pending on the person. Some think of them as monsters still and other take time to judge them.

Classes:

Barbarian would be nature here. There is no bard college, but entertainer Guild does exist here.

There is a temple of Chauntea but it is weak, as there is almost no agriculture being done. Some do worship Selune and it is popular with a temple as well as Sune. Torm has a small temple that seems to thrive some. Tyr has the largest temple and well respected here. (Use only the Forgotten Realm Gods).

There is a small gathering of the Circle of Forest druids about. It is really more just two of them. Neither holds any power.

Mercenary and fighters are not uncommon here. Burgermister just doesn't have gold to satisfy them. They have enough force that there is no limits on armor and weapons shown in the city.

There is a temple for monks here. The man that did it hasn't been seen and the place there is falling decrepit.

Only Paladin seen ever here passed through and never returned. Guess this isn't high on their goals of a place. Perhaps now with forest darkening that might draw one.

Rangers like Mercenary are about here and there. None seem to offer any aid.

Thieves guild is alive but much subdue to avoid conflict. City just isn't big enough. Most thieves can work solo and not bother too much.

Most sorcerers are taken as badly as Dragonborn and there are none known in the city.

Warlock and Wizards are welcome it seems. Distrusted but tolerated. Fears of the unknown.
_______________________________________
City:


City is large enough to support many guilds. This is a large wide spot on the road. No rivers or ocean really near by. Mostly all forest and hills. Mountains and such are far away.

All PC are assumed to have travel here. Hearing about the problems and are here to aid the matter.

All other books and info is problematic and looked as per need. Not necessarily restricted per say evecar_solaris.

Awesome thanks
I'll just need the PHB and xanathars

As a (male/female?) human warlock/wizard base, you would be looked upon with caution no more than a traveler unless something changes. Assuming you do look like a traveler of course.

Before I build I should ask, how are you at handling reactionaries in pbp?

Unsure what your asking. LOL. As DM.. I deal with all interactions with NPCs. Appearance and Charisma affect. Reputation doesn't affect here.

I mean like counterspell or reaction attacks against those that move away without disengagement

Be nice to see when you apply even a partial PC. I have now decided to assign one of the 4 slots to you..so there is only 3 open ones now.

Well thank you :) should be pretty easy to have it up in the next few hours.

As with madbookishcrow character, as soon as something is sent to me, then I have something to work with.

I'm not heavy on background as you all are coming here and none have enough reputation to be known here.

Should consider filling in all languages you know. Not a good thing to leave out.

I think i'll go human variant great old one tome warlock

What rarity on the magic item?

Well your not legendary characters at level 5. I would think that a magic in thoughts of that would be more appropriate. Thoughts that very rare would no doubt be too much. Do you have thoughts of a PC there theeyetyrant that you could mention?

What do you mean?

Magic items for character should be relative their level and this case that is level 5. That would limit the magical items to be less than very rare for sure. I guess that would leave possible rare, uncommon, and common. Of course at level 5 uncommon is generally the roof per say. Common is no trouble. I hope this works for you theeyetyrant? Game will be more based on the PC and not his magic items.

On a side note: Do add a misc. trinket or two on your PC. For kicks and jollies.

So a rod of the pact keeper +1 for my warlock is no problem?

Yeah I think that a +1 Rod of the Pact Keeper is appropriate for a straight Level 5 Warlock. Show wells as a status point.
