Character Creation

I'm definitely undecided :) Max ability of 14 sounds interesting. I think the game sometimes over emphasis on having an 18+ in primary score to be any good, even at level 1. That said, I don't mind having a 17, 15, 14 :)

A tank which focus on firearms - interesting. I was originally thinking the group was backline heavy, but with a gun tank and melee rogue - that leaves the crazy goblin in the back.

From the interest thread it looked like we might get a fighter.

I was contemplating a bard, possibly valor - could join as a back line ranged. Would be my first bard character ever, so probably suck at it - but he'd look good doing it. I don't know, I've avoided it for 45 years - maybe this time.

Chtkree is a small Thri-kree but between his dex, natural armor, and shield use he makes a decent skirmisher. Add in his druidic wildform and familiar and he is typically the scout. I would not mind a heavy tank of any kind, fighter/barbarian/paladin/cleric as he like to play of other team members to get his sneak attack to trigger. (FYI no flanking in this game)

Bards are great solo or in teams depending on the game. Some colleges are more useful than others depending on the setting and game. This one seems to be investigation heavy so things like lore, insight, investigation, can all be useful, but pick something fun for you.

I'd be happy to role up a Cleric if that would help the party

Never known a cleric to hurt a party, well unless you are going death domain and we are your intended slave army :)

I'm abandoning my consideration of the Bard :) My brain keeps trying to fix things about it I don't like, so at that point, play something else :)

I realize that my stats would make a great dwarven war domain cleric - so if you decide not to pursue cleric - I might go that route.

Also considering Eldritch Knight.

I thought I saw one of the characters was multi classed - are we allowed to multi class at the start? A Fighter 1/War Magic Wizard has sparked my interest as a possible character akin to an Eldritch Knight.

Yeah, you can build your three levels in the way you'd prefer

Chitkree is too small to make a good undead and Zrukz would only be good as an insane lich. Totally frightening there. Wait, can you have a level 3 lich? That would be a bit funny and scarry at the same time :)

Yeah, Chitkree is multiclass rogue/druid. You need the stats for it but other than that is has been allowed

Deliver me from temptation... :-)

Stat rolls

Ok do we start with basic. Or cause we are starting at lv 3 do we get extras. As everyone else should have found or bought better than starters by now?

Hp lv2 =24

Hp lv 3 = 32

Some hit point rolls.

You start with basic equipment

are we ok to do point-buy?

that gives a much better average

@Sassafras - I've submitted a character. Almost all of the mechanics are there. I need to pick 2 more spells. I need some time to write up the background and description. Hopefully that will come later today.

Thanks for the heads-up

Stat rolls

one 9, not a bad spread. Add in racial bonuses and you wont die to quickly :)

Staring Gold = (5d4) * 10
Roll 5d4
X 10 = 130

DM, I've rolled up two versions of a Twilight Domain Cleric at level 1 and submitted a GP 5e Character Sheet but currently this only contains links to the two versions of the character I've created in DnDBeyond. Two questions:

1. Am I right in thinking we need to level up our characters to 3 before play?
2. Are you ok with me using DnDBeyond sheets or do you need these recreating in GP?
