Character creation

Oct 22, 2022 9:28 pm
Your characters will be starting at 5th level. You are welcome to use whatever character sheet you want. If you need me to add a particular custom sheet to the game, just let me know where to find it.

Ability Scores

Use the roll 4d6, drop the lowest method to generate your ability scores. You may use the Standard array instead if the dice fail you. All rolls for character creation should be done in this thread.

Race, Class, Background

Race and class may be chosen from any WotC published sources set on the "main world" of D&D. Anything WotC published outside of that world may be allowed on a case by case basis. For example, I have already tacitly agreed to the reborn race from Ravenloft. If I don't own the book, you need to get me the game rules for it. I am using the Monsters of the Multiverse version of the 'monstrous' races. Use of the rules in Tasha's for custom lineage is also approved. Standard backgrounds are fine as are the ones in Saltmarsh.

If you choose an aquatic race, specify if you were born in the Nyr Dyv or elsewhere.

Optional Features

Multiclassing and feats are allowed.

Leveling up

You may take the average hit points or roll for your level up HP. If you roll, you are bound by the results.

Equipment

As 5th level characters, I assume you have whatever you want in terms of mundane, non-magical equipment. If you have spells or other features that need expensive components assume you have enough for two uses if the component is consumed.

As far as magic goes, your characters will start with six items total:

A) 3 picks from the following list: Potion of Healing, Spell Scroll (1st level), Potion of Water Breathing
B) 2 uncommon potions of your choice, 2 Spell Scrolls (2nd level), or one of each
C) 1 uncommon item of your choice

Let me know if you have any questions I have not covered.

Please allow custom character sheets. I'll bring my own, just need the option:)
Oct 23, 2022 3:21 pm
Done.
Oct 23, 2022 3:39 pm
Ok. I have settled on a Soulknife rogue. Seems the most single stat focused. Race is still undecided. I'm looking at Eladrin or Kenku.

Hi all.
Looking forward to play with you all.

I love you GP RNG, please be kind to me...

Already submitted a character sheet but it's a work in progress. As I said in the interest check thread, I'm interested in playing a Fathomless Warlock. Only remembers fragments of his past life as an archeologist. Now explores the depths no longer in the name of research, but in service of his Otherworldly Patron. May adjust depending on what the group decides to play.

@runekyndig, I dig your proposed connection to my PC. I trust your character will have his own motivations too, rather than just be a servant to the ex-professor!

But first, let's roll some stats. Hmm...not bad!

Yes of course. But in a pulp adventure, with a professor, there is also a plucky assistant.
He/she can't remember much before the professor found him/her, but the Tenents of the Ancient is ingrained. It will clash with a cthull cultist

@Verrain during the pitch, there was talk of magical water breathing assistance. Is that something we should address with our magical item allotment or might that be in addition to those?
Oct 23, 2022 5:05 pm
That is addressed by the magic item choices or the magical abilities of your fellows.
Oct 23, 2022 5:18 pm
@Jabes.plays.RPG I imagen that the professor found the assistant in a containment pod. Retrieved the pod before he drowned. Then he awoke after making his deal, then the pod with the assistant was part of his equipment. That was when he revided her. His was the first face she remember seeing

I'm not set on this avatar jet, but it is the directions i want to go

Neckace of Adaptation

Another potential option.
Oct 23, 2022 6:49 pm
I am reconsidering my PC's race. Rather than Reborn, probably Half-Elf. Saved from drowning by the eventual patron.

The Mark of Storm variant Half-Elf would be advantageous in this campaign (assuming Verrain allows) but it doesn't fit the character so I may just go with a standard Half-Elf.
