You can use the custom character sheet or the basic one.

If you need help in anything, please just ask.

When making a character, try to connect to the following questions to make the character a part of this world.


What is your social class and clan?
Is your family part of the nobility or the working class?
Do you want to change your status?
Are you an active member of your clan or have you left it behind?
Do you have a special role in the city’s hierarchies?
Are you a member of the royalty?
Did you or do you hope to pass the Test of Ascension and become a magistrate?
Are you an arbiter who deals with spirits?

So we will be natives of Yeonido for this one shot?

Yes, that would be the best way for a oneshot and to get the Eastern vibe

Cool. Just confirming.

Is there any race or class limitations you don't want us to use from those books? Or will that not matter?

Fell free to pick any race or class from the listed books, multiclass if you like.
The College of Glamour Bard is the only one I find tricky as it has a very complex reaction based ability that might not work too well in a PBP game.

I'm looking at either playing a Battle Master fighter, or some kind of monk (most likely Way of the Open Hand, or Drunken Master). I'll have a good think about those setting-connection questions. I'd love to hear what everyone else is thinking too!

I don’t think he’s signed on yet, but the friend I tagged in and I were going to make a pair of twin elves. Xerxes is a male warlock and Xestria is a female Monk (kensai) with a big hammer.

DM do you want us to post character sheets here when done?

I'm currently playing around with a Dragonborn Paladin concept; maybe make him a protector of his clan. Still thinking through how to fully connect him to the lore.

When you have a character sheet completed you can link them to the game by this link

https://gamersplane.com/games/3672/

That easily allows you to post as your character and to make dice rolls straight from the sheet.

Sorry - newb question. How do I link the character to the game?

I have a D&D Beyond link and also added stats to the character section of this site. Just don't know how to link.

Step 3 of the New GP Members' Guide tells you how to create a Gamers' Plane character sheet.

After you've created the sheet you can Submit it to this game using the link Cettish posted above, or the Game Details link which you'll find at the bottom of this page.



I believe there's a way to import your D&D Beyond sheet. I'll have a look around the threads if I can find it.

I was able to find it. Needed to go into the main game page. I was on the forum list. Thanks for the help!

I’m all submitted.

For inter party discussion, Xestria is a high elf kensai monk. She has pale white skin and white hair with silver highlights. Her eyes are hazel flecked with gold. She’s a haughty elf who thinks she’s better than everyone else (with the possible exception of her brother, though she probably thinks she’s better than him as well). As twins she’s very close with her brother. Maybe too close? Maybe it’s an elf thing!

As her kensai weapons, Xestria wields a huge war hammer, a longbow, and a whip.

I see her sheet.
Just approved her.

Haha fair enough. Thanks. Looking forward to playing. And if Xestria is mean to anyone, I promise it’s not personal.

Yong is a dragonborn beggar and drunkard. Rumor has it his broken horn is from when he was kicked out of his clan. Others claim he was once an arbiter but has had his brain addled by drink and a horrific encounter with a rogue gwishin.

Mechanically he is a Way of the Open Hand monk.

@Cettish,

I’m almost done with my character. For the magical item, is there a table you want us to pick from? Use our imagination? Or something else?

Same question as GreaseWizard.

I'll probably have my sheet done by tonight.
