Character Generation

I would like to see the TTRPG if we are using that to generate characters by

How would one go about doing this? I have a bunch of content on dndbeyond but am unfamiliar with the functionality of the site, would love to share

I think it’s a subscriber feature. You create a campaign, then you’ll have an option to enable source sharing. You can choose individual titles, or enable all. From there it’s just a matter of inviting the folks to the campaign. Character creation isn’t necessary, and I’m not advocating to use it for that. But once you’re a member of the campaign, you’ll have access to the shared sourcebooks. I ran a eberron campaign and it was really useful to have the players be able to reference the Eberron books.

Hello all. It’s been a bit of a stalled start so far. I’m waiting on the last two players to accept their invites. If they don’t accept by tomorrow morning my time, I will accept two requests I have waiting.

I'm here. So, standard array for stats, what sort of characters do we have so far?

Great! Good to have you!

Standard array and it seems like we have a monk and a Druid so far. But nobody is locked in just yet I don’t think!

Any ideas of what you’d like to play? :)

I'm thinking a former pirate bard. Possibly a changling.

How do you want us to do items and health?

Health will be max at 1, of course. And rolling for 2&3, with the option to swap out for the average AFTER you roll. Low health feels bad.

Items, that’s a good question. I don’t find a big emphasis on magic items in 5e. Let’s say you can have any mundane equipment you want, and I’ll have to think about magic stuff!

Sweet. The only item I'm adding is a breastplate. I'm a Blade Bard, so I get medium armor proficiency.

So average on the first roll would be 5+1, so my overall HP would be 23? 9+6+8?

Okay I tried looking up TTRPG -- as somewhere I got the impression that one of the Ts stood for Tasha's -- but upon digging through and finding nothing related to Tasha it occurred to me that maybe the TT was just Table Top -- which means we are just using the standard PHB, DMG, etc... for DnD5e -- is that correct or is TTRPG really something I have not seen yet.

@DeJoker I'm guessing you're referring to my post earlier? When I said I'm in the experimental phase of TTRPG, I meant I am still fairly new to the overall Table-Top Role Playing Game (TTRPG) scene, and was open to looking into different ways of character creation.

The Tasha's (Cauldron of Everything, TCoE) bit was just seeing if anybody wanted access to the book, or any of the other resource books I have available in dndbeyond.com. While dndbeyond is able to be used for character creation, etc, I didn't mean to imply that it's what we should use for managing this campaign, as I'm not the DM. Really, I just thought, "oooo more dnd nerds, maybe they haven't read Tasha's and would like access!"

I'm sorry for wording it in such a confusing manner!

Here's the campaign link that will allow you to login if you wish: https://ddb.ac/campaigns/join/15937082383870027

Rune Knight fighter is super cool.
Play a dragonborn.
Become Godzilla.

No its cool -- like I said I remember the word Tasha's and the GM stating it was being used and got confuzzled with the T in the TTRPG reference -- but its clear now thanks very much -- so either Standard Array (which is simply a Point Buy) or Point Buy and TCoE does not expand or change that it in any way it seems.

What are we doing as far as character backgrounds?

How does one end up in Neverland?

I wrote up a short 'Getting to Neverland' thread just now.

@DeJoker, You can use any official 5e supplements to date. PHB, Volos, SCAG,Mordenkainen, Tasha's etc. I'm sure there are more.

I believe Tasha's just allows you to swap your racial stats. So instead of a +2dex +1 wis Wood Elf, you could be a +2cha +1str Wood Elf if you so wished. I think the limitations arise when certain racial abilities are keyed off of a stat, like Drow magic, but I think we could change those too, if needs be.

@oddtrails, that HP seems low. You have the option to take the average of your d8 if you want.
