Demagor Character Creation Thread

This thread is for Demagor's character creation.

You may roll up to 3 characters and pick your favorite pool. Available classes are found here.

Two quick things, sir!

(1) I like the Thief class and I would be happy to fill that role. I have a couple of character concepts which I had shelved for "later use" that I would employ here. Should I include the character history/background here for your review or include it in the bottom of the character sheet/file?

(2) Sorry for the moronic question, but when you say favorite "pool", do you mean [I]pool of rolls[/i] or do I write up 3 complete characters, pick one, play with them and should they meet an untimely fate, I can then enlist the services of one the others?

Whichever you prefer is fine. I'm good with either, really.
Pool of rolls. I wouldn't make entire characters for the two pools you choose not to use right now. Basically you should roll 3d6 six times. That's one pool. Do that two more times and you should have 3 pools of six numbers between 3 and 18. Choose whichever of the three pools you want for this character and plug in the 6 numbers to whichever Ability you like (it doesn't have to be in order of how they were rolled).
If this character dies and you wish to make another you can roll another pool of six numbers and either choose that one, or one of the two pools you didn't go with the first time around.

It should also be noted that if you opt to separate race/class your race options are Drow, Dueregar, Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Half-Elf, Half-Orc, Human, and Svirfneblen, but not all races can choose all classes. Some are limited to certain Classes, and all races have level caps on their choice of class.

There is a list of Races allowable here.

Got it. What would be the best way for you to receive my rolls? Good faith? Does the site have a built-in rolling system?

On that note, I'm probably going "traditional" textbook thief; the default human thief as in the original game.

Noted that you're going to take the Thief class.

And yes, there's a dice roller.
1. At the bottom of your reply box you have two red buttons: "Post" and "Advanced". Click on "Advanced".
2. Below the comment box you'll now see a black bar that says "Rolls and Decks". There's a Red button below that that says "Add". Click on "Add".
3. There's two blank bars now below the "Add" button. One says "Reason". Type in "Character 1 Dice Pool", or something of the sort. It doesn't really matter what you type in there, but it won't let you roll the dice if it is left remaining blank. In the other blank bar, which says "Roll", you can type in whatever dice you're rolling ("3d6", or "1d20", or "2d4", for example). In this case you can copy/paste or type in the following:

3d6, 3d6, 3d6, 3d6, 3d6, 3d6

That will give you six rolls of 3d6 when you click the red "Save" button, and will look like what you see below...

I'm going to roll that now, but before I do, let me say Thank You. I appreciate you taking the time to explain things like I'm a toddler, which in this setting, I appreciate. Even though I'm a grown ass man, this clear, detailed, step-by-step process is what I need to understand things.

First group, assuming I did this correctly.

Not terrible, but he could be a fun challenge to play. Let's try the next 2!

Round 2!

...

I'm usually a pessimist by trade, but I feel it cannot be argued that those are horrible rolls.

Third time's a charm?

...gods...

Going with pool 1, then; assigned as follows:

STRENGTH: 15
INTELLIGENCE: 8
WISDOM: 11
DEXTERITY: 17
CONSTITUTION: 11
CHARISMA: 7

Well the first pool isn't too shabby at all. They'll have better stats than the party's current Thief, and he's survived long enough to reach Level 2, so...

Okay. He starts with Max HP plus any Con bonuses, so that's going to be 4. You'll need to roll 3d6 and multiply it by 10 for starting gold.

I guess, in hindsight, it isn't too bad. I do like that not everything is stellar, which helps shape the character and how he's going to be portrayed. Let's resolve Starting Gold next:

So far, we have:

Norris DeWitt
Level 1 Human Thief

ALIGNMENT: Neutral

HIT POINTS: 4

STRENGTH: 15 ( +1 )
INTELLIGENCE: 8 ( -1 )
WISDOM: 11 ( +0 )
DEXTERITY: 17 ( +2 )
CONSTITUTION: 11 ( +0 )
CHARISMA: 7 ( -1 )

Starting Gold: 110GP
