Character Generation/Leveling/PBP Stylistic Bits

if i decide to DM it here then ofcourse!

As for the feat, not unless you go variant human. If you go variant human, by all means pick up a feat ;)

awww ok fair no feat for me

edit sheet is done i believe then outside backstory

Thanks! I like the old Lovecraft vibe. Although I wouldn't really recommend the novels (for all their literary value they're just too dated to really enjoy in my opinion), he came up with an awesome way of creating an atmosphere of imminent danger around his cosmic horrors that defy human reason. He has this wonderful way of scratching at the primal fears that humans still have left over from when they huddled together around a campfire in a damp cave.

Will Atticus be a front line fighter?

Yes. I'm setting him up that way.

Are we posting backstiry here?

You can post as much or as little as you'd like "publicly". Anything critical you want me to know but want kept secret can be in your personal forum.

Hello all. I am a 300 year old wood elf ranger. I came here to do what i felt was my duty to protect those less fortunate than i. I need to catch up on the story so far to see how I will best fit in. Is there a leader by the way?

Hey @Stampman49, sheet looks good. Just need to add your HP, AC, Speed, and Init. Then we will be good to go. Radiza has been taking point in conversation so far.

The three newcomers are all coming from a private meeting with the Council. I will write you all in this evening!

Congrats on reaching level 2 @Bubbles,@millyk,@GreyWord,@Stampman49

Please do your leveling here according to this bit from the first post:

Leveling Info
Hit Points per level are rolled, but with a minimum of the average. Any roll below the average for the die is treated as the average (plus CON mod as appropriate):


Roll your HP in this thread and give a quick summary of what new stuff you're picking up. For example:

@Stampman49 - How are you gaining a feat at level 2, out of curiosity?

Oh I miss read my notes sorry. This is the first time I have levelled up .So I just get the extra hit points?

Not a problem, can definitely guide you through it.

When you level up in 5e, there are a few things that happen:

1) You ALWAYS gain more hit points.
2) Depending on how many TOTAL levels your character has (so not specific class levels, but the sum of all class levels), your proficiency modifier may increase.
2) Depending on which class you're taking a level in, you get extra features depending on the level you're getting.
--> 2a) At certain levels, your class will give access to an Ability Score Improvement. At that time, you can choose to get +2 to one stat base score, +1 to two separate stats' base scores, or your choice of a feat (like Elven Accuracy).


Your race doesn't change as you level up (outside of some SUPER rare things like if you suddenly turn into a vampire because of in game shenanigans)

In your case, as a level 2 ranger, here's what you'd be looking at for your extra features:
Choice of Fighting Styles (pick one)


Spellcasting
You learn 2 1st level spells from the Ranger spell list (you also have 2 first level spell slots to use them to cast with)
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability (Save DC = 8 + proficiency + WIS modifier, Attack roll = proficiency + WIS modifier)

Thank you very much for that It is more complex than I had thought this certainly makes it clearer. I should have asked you first.
