I love the picture you found! It evokes the idea of a wizard who attended not a traditional mage's college, but a magical cult of some sort.

Number three reminds me of a character I'm playing in one of Kalajel's games. Baelrick the Tawdry.

Epic gut!

If you would rather I not use HF for my portrait, I have another in mind. I can change it easily enough.

Maon dances as if he is imitating a flying bee...
I blame the honey mead!

Are we playing with Proficiencies?

WhtKnt, I'm just teasing about that portrait. I thought it was funny to see it become such a thing.

@Phil_Ozzy_Fer, yes we are using proficiencies.

So a fighter, bard, thief, druid, and two wizards. Definitely an odd bunch!

Oh darn! Is it two wizards? Leave it with me in that case! Better to let everyone shine and have their own space!

Sorry about that! I didn’t see a wizard on the thread!

I'm not going to make you change your character, but I am setting a future precedent. Because that +7 to damage scares me.
I can't even fathom why percentile strength is even a thing for just one class only. I'm sure the Rogues are wondering where their percentile DEX is.

If you feel it's too unbalanced in play after a while, I really have no problem changeing it.

Don't worry about that! There are so many spells and proficiencies that wizards can look quite different!

I'll give it another day or two before putting up the first post. Give everyone an opportunity to finish their characters and find any last minute bonds between them.

At level one, my character is fine to be a magical punching bag with a cool party trick. I'll add my proficiencies, but I already submitted the character. So I'll just edit what's on the sheet. Let me know if you need changes. It's been forever since I played this version of D&D.

As for spells known, as per the instructions at the beginning, you get Read Magic and Detect Magic for free, along with four spells of your choice.

I'm putting up the first post, but don't feel rushed. You all have the workings of a good group, and just have a few more details in some of your characters to iron out.

When it says Bonus Spell: 1st.

Is that a bonus spell known, or an bonus casting per day? I suppose the rule book says somewhere but it’s the weekend and my kids don’t give me five minutes. :D

Also, I played around with swapping over to cleric. If people think that would be good for an adventuring group, I’ll do it.

Otherwise, I suppose we should diversify our wizards. What’s the other wizard like then? What kind of schools or spells do they like? What kit? :)

So, that applies only to clerics! It is for bonus spells per day.

The other wizard is a specialist in the Abjuration School. I'm not using a kit, and am playing straight out of the Player's Handbook. I wanted to keep things as simple as possible.

Aha! I see! A human? Grumpy old man? Bright young up-and-comer?
