I did, I put it under Ooze Sire and listed the abilities under it, but it seems you noticed since that post I quoted. Breathe will be nibbling on everything to help with that terrible hunger. ^^
I see this in your character sheet, but not a choice made for it.
[ +- ] Echoes of the Dam
Can you please choose one of these options and add it to your character sheet?

The following character sheet updates are needed:
* removal of "Ray of Frost" from spells list
I was doing some minor numbers-checking on the 27-points associated with your ability scores, and I noticed that if you chose the following makeup, you could boost your Strength to a 16, and keep everything else the same:

ATTRIBUTEABILITY SCOREPOINTS FOR ATTRIBUTE SCOREFLOATING BONUSESTOTAL SCORE
Strength147+216
Dexterity102+010
Constitution135+114
Intelligence102+010
Wisdom147+014
Charisma124+012

Would you be interested in that?

Could I get a brief rundown of what my group makeup will be?

So far, you have two character almost complete, and one other concept:

- tibbius has an eladrin elf fighter named Seyala
- Khulod an acidic half-ooze druid named Breathe
- Ranimara mentioned before that they were considering a circle of stars druid, but we don’t have a submitted sheet, so I’m not sure if that still stands (they mentioned that they needed some time)

The world is your oyster.

For the first group (basically, the first 5 approved characters), the game will start on the western range of the Great Valley, near the Bear clan, but not too close that there is some issues. They will be sort of between Bear Clan's hallow and Fishgather, along the Bear river.

I am still figuring out the second group's location, but I have it narrowed down to 3 locales:
- Along the Ape river, just north of the Hallow of Kho, and south of Swapshore
- East of Bendgather, just north of the Icehook Peaks
- South along the Ox river, just south of Thuzo (near the part of the map that says "Sea Empire")
This details the starting locations of both groups. Your character would belong to the second group.

Yeah, I'm definitely going for a Circle of Stars Druid. I'm currently building him in dndbeyond, so should have something in here soon.

Yes, very, I edited the sheet to address both these issues.

I just approved Seyala.

@Plum Based on optimal ability score math, Linna can have an additional +1 in one of the following abolition of your choice:
- Strength
- Dexterity
- Intelligence
- Wisdom

I just submitted my character. I still need to do the equipment conversions and check out that doc. Plus the map and the pouch of 5 GP from his background need to be reworked as well. And the end of his backstory still needs something extra to push him into adventuring, though I'm gonna wait for group 2's adventuring hooks before I finalize that. I think everything else is there though if you want to take a preliminary look.

OK...I think I've got it. Yi'gga (YE-guh), Variant Human (former) Captive, Undead Pact Warlock. She used to be kept as a servant, until the clan that took her encountered Lha'hom, an undead terror that threatened to destroy them unless it was given a suitable offering. The chief chose to give it Yi'gga. She was given a choice, Lha'hom would consume her soul and let the clan go, or she could serve the undead horror and live as well. She chose to live, but now she carries Lha'hom with her, and wears the terror's visage when she uses his power. The secret she keeps is that the chief's wife brought Lha'hom's fury upon his people, but refused to give her up to save his people. It was mere whim that Lha'hom agreed to the "lesser" prize of Yi'gga.

Interesting, I suppose Dex would be the logical choice. Is this DM fiat or am I just a big wumpus who screwed up the math?

It is easy to find issues with someone else’s work. That’s why peer review is so important in research or team coding projects.

Proofreading others’ work and checking answers is something I’m naturally pretty good at.

I found a way to configure your character’s ability scores a little better. I don’t think your math was wrong, but maybe not fully optimized. We are talking about 1 point.

I'm just curious because I used a Point Buy calculator, but I'll add +1, thanks!

We can make this concept work! It’ll be fun.

I’ll send you some specifics around your undead patron, and Nazh-Agaa, the King of the Dead, who actively hunts undead in Planegea. :D

Okay, the character sheet is perfect! Approved!

We can work on connecting your backstory lore into the second adventure, too. I have thoughts.

Group 2 has 3 character almost complete, and one other concept:

- (tibbius) Seyala, an eladrin elf fighter - approved
- (Khulod) Breathe, an acidic half-ooze druid - approved
- (Ranimara) Oie-ao, a starling druid - approved

I have settled on the following area as our adventure locale for the second group:
- East of Bendgather, just north of the Icehook Peaks
