Character Creation

Oct 23, 2021 1:35 am

Character creation is simple and familiar to those of you who have rocked your way through a 5e game.

Choose a class, a race, standard array for ability scores (15,14,13,12,10,8), alignment, record your HP and class features, roll your starting gold (5d4 x 10gp), purchase your equipment, choose a worthy name, pick a quirk.


But be warned. What Lies Below has customized all of that, so don't come to me with your tabaxi rogue. Oh, it just died. Use the What Lies Below book. It's pay what you want so tip the band but if you haven't got the goat horns to spare, $0 is an option. No excuses, dudes and dudettes.

Umm. Mr. Eddie the Head, sir. Is there any difference in the two downloads for the player's guide? I downloaded both.

I haven't compared them. I suspect the 9-9-21 version is the more recent, since the game was created in 2019.

Ash Soulshriek

I am going for a Bone Elf Cultist.

Edit: Where do we put AC and HPs on the sheet?

WTF?! A slow Madaxe? Isn't that like an oxymoron?

Question:

For skills in which our characters do not have proficiency, do we list the stat bonus on any specialties for those skills or no?
Oct 25, 2021 4:54 pm
I thought about that and thought about rerolling or just picking one but decided I could make it work, (and it's optional xD ).
Oct 25, 2021 6:11 pm
True.

I've submitted Ash.

I went off board for his quirk. He adds a new tattoo for every adventure he survives. He will start with only one to reflect his cultist tastes.

Awesome, I've accepted Ash into the game, but I'll review the sheet later.

Thanks for the invite. This looks to be fun.
I initially wanted to be a madaxe viking metal style, but two madaxes may be too much. I'll go for a Hellion Human Crusader.
