Character creation.

That is pretty darn nifty

Indeed...when the initial character concept started settling in my mind, my first thoughts were of that particular pic. :)

Character created. Now just to write up the backstory

How are we handling posting of our character sheets?

Just go ahead and submit them on the game's page.

Also, forgot to mention this, we aren't doing standard starting gear, you should roll for gold according to your class (PHB 143). You can spend that gold on anything with an official listed price.

Do we need to show our rolls for the gold in here?

Nah, we'll just go with the honor system in this case. It's pretty much all mundane equipment right now, nothing game-breaking.

Additionally, you can have something from the trinket table in the same chapter.

I approve of this completely. Warforged are cool, bards are cool, everyone wins.

So are their any details you could provide about magic users and divine casters? Did they use to exist and are all gone or did they never exist? For backstory purposes.

In-character, as far as any of you would be able to remember, magic has never existed. Out of character, some stuff happened and magic just doesn't work at all here anymore. Casters that gain their power directly from a deity, like clerics and the Favored Soul sorcerer, have never existed at all.

You mentioned posting the information from our character sheets in the main thread, but this one is the only one I see and I do not seem to be able to find a new thread creation button/link if that is what you had in mind. :(

I think I'm the only one who can make new threads, but just go ahead and post anything for your characters here.

Well, I will go ahead and post how I came up with my character's ability scores. This is the very first time ever that I have used the point buy system (went with the standard 27 shown in the PHB).

01.) Asterisk (*) denotes primary abilities/saving throws
02.) Followed by "ability score bought with points (points spent) + plus score of 1 for each ability that humans get for all abilities"
03.) Then the final ability score (with dice modifier)

*Strength: 15 (9) + 1 --> 16 (+3)
Intelligence: 9 (1) + 1 --> 10 (+0)
Wisdom: 9 (1) + 1 --> 10 (+0)
Dexterity: 13 (5) + 1 --> 14 (+2)
*Constitution: 15 (9) + 1 --> 16 (+3)
Charisma: 10 (2) + 1 --> 11 (+0)

Looks good to me. You aren't going with a variant human?

Actually no, the variant simply does not, and has never appealed to me... :)

Fair enough, standard human has its own advantages.

Okay! So I will be playing a Human Rogue by the name of Jason Alexander. His stats are as follows:

STR: 10
DEX: 14 + 1
CON: 12
INT: 14
WIS: 13
CHA: 15 + 1

In case it influences anyone's choices, I'm also opening up the races from Plane Shift: Zendikar as PC options.

So it's been a quiet week, where's everyone at with their characters?
