@szemely I think a Human Wizard with a penchant for finding the advantage in each situation could be handy.

@GamerDad - A straight spell caster would certainly be useful. Several schools to choose from depending how you'd like to play the character.

@Cerris214 - Just a couple notes. Your attack bonus with weapons in which you have proficiency add the +2, so like for your long bow, your attack bonus would be +5 (+2PB +3DEX). Same with your short sword (as it's a finesse weapon you can use your DEX mod all of the time with it). I went ahead on made the updates on your sheet. Looks like you're about ready to roll!!

Thanks. I was curious if the dex modifier for bows carried over editions. I looked for in the new phb and couldn't find it mentioned. But, I am extremely itching to get rolling.

It's kind of tucked away in the combat chapter, top of page 196: "When attacking with a weapon you add your ability modifier - the same modifier used in the attack roll - to the damage."
So far we have two completed characters, Volimance is close with his (just needs some updates), and I've been working with GamerDad a bit on his (he's close as well). Haven't heard from Epic_Cheese in a bit and if we don't for a few days we'll continue on and he can join up when ready.

Posting as Your Character
One of the options you have on your character sheet is to assign yourself an avatar.
Once you have an avatar assigned and your character submitted to a game you can then choose to post as that character.

I usually just do a Google search for things like "elven sorcerer" or whatever.

Tayleron Wildborn. Back story
Born in the woods some distance from Falu. Tayleron had a typical elven childhood, until one fateful day when he was in his 60's. He and his family were returning from a hunting trip and dusk was falling. His parents quickly set up a camp for the night and they all settled down eager to return to their village in the morning. As dawn broke, Tayleron's father noticed the smoke first. They quickly broke camp and returned to the village. It was completely destroyed. Buildings burned and leveled, people killed, missing, many too badly injured or burned to identify. Tayleron's family and the few survivors that remained started to tend to the injured and gathered what few supplies that remained. Two hours later, the orc horde returned. A short but tense battle was fought. Hopelessly outnumbered they had no chance of winning. Tayleron was struck in the face and left for dead by the horde. A trapper found him sometime later. Dazed, half starved, and sick with infection it was amazing he survived at all. The trapper had no way of caring for another person, let alone an elvin child so he took him to a nearby settlement. That town was Olaj. Tayleron eventually healed, but he left the scar on his face as a reminder of the unseen dangers and the callous actions of orcs. Still seen as a child Tayleron was placed with a family in town. He lived with them until they passed away. Now nearing adulthood Tayleron decided that Olaj was too big and civilized for his liking and moved to the small town of Falu. He has lived there for the past twenty years. He spends most of his time there patrolling the fields and small copses that dot the surround, as he has taking a liking to drink and anything to get the visions to go away. With winter arriving soon, he was asked to travel to Olaj, as he was familiar with the route, to get supplies.

Not necessarily, I did it just for character purposes and to pull the traits and flaws and whatnot together. Plus it gives a good cover for the low charisma that he has.

I like it. Nice use of what little background I provided for the setting as well. The cool thing is I now have a couple hooks I can use down the line to make things a little more interesting - you just know that some ugly-ass orc is going to make fun of your scar at some point.

Well seeing as how it was his kind that made it, he may be making fun of it to Grumsh. :-)

Looks like Epic_Cheese has bailed on the game. :-/
Four is a good number for the game though, so I think we'll keep it with the group we have and move on ahead.
