Character Creation

Dec 15, 2022 11:35 am
You can roll your character here. Start off at level 1. Stat building is 2d6+6. Either roll for gold or use default starting equipment based on class. All official 5e races/classes are okay, but alignment ought to be good or neutral (evil people saving the world doesn't really gel).
Dec 15, 2022 1:13 pm
You are allowed to be a member of either of the five big factions although you don't need to, you can read more about them here.

It's up to you guys if you are from Phlan or just passing through.

Alright... I have some lofty goals, so dice roller and RNGesus don't fail me now!

Oh! Quick question... if we take starting gear based on class and background... can we potentially sell any of it if there's something we don't want/need? If not, can we just leave that item behind? Or, if so, are we selling at 50%?

Rolls

Stat 1 - (2d6+6)

(54) + 6 = 15

Stat 2 - (2d6+6)

(33) + 6 = 12

Stat 3 - (2d6+6)

(24) + 6 = 12

Stat 5 - (2d6+6)

(35) + 6 = 14

Stat 6 - (2d6+6)

(14) + 6 = 11

Reroll Lowest - (2d6+6)

(32) + 6 = 11

Dec 15, 2022 1:49 pm
Always awesome when you make an identical reroll :P

I'll say that you can sell whatever gear you don't need at half price
Dec 15, 2022 1:51 pm
Awesome, thank you!

And yeah... looks like my lowest is an 11 no matter how I slice it. Lol No negative modifiers though, so I'll take it.
Dec 15, 2022 2:05 pm
What is with re-rolling the lowest? I didn't see that explained.
Are you allowing Variant Human, Tasha's customization of race/backgrounds?
LoL gota love those 11's

Daaamn... that's a pretty great stat spread.
Dec 15, 2022 2:13 pm
I'm not complaining. Any thoughts on class? We should try to cover the bases and I am not feeling a particular need to fill at this time so can fill party skill gaps
Dec 15, 2022 2:50 pm
Here goes: Well that is a pretty respectable set of stats. Very nice indeed.

Rerolling the lowest is just that you can reroll the lowest stat and see if you get a better one. But you all seem to love those 11s so it doesn’t matter in your case 😅 and yeah, those are also allowed

I had someone once roll 14,14,12,10,9,9. That's still my benchmark xD

This was one of my best rolls here on GP. And while it's certainly solid... well, comparatively the numbers speak for themselves. 😂

Hi, Everyone.

And the dice say - You guys will need to bear with my PC low damage output in a combat :). But don't you worry - I will try to build a support character to help others.

I don’t think I’ve mentioned, but when you level up you can roll the HD and take that, but even if you do you get the average as your minimum added HP. So for instance if your class HD is 1d10, then you can roll it and if it’s above a 6, you take the roll, if it’s below a 6, then you just take the 6. Does that make sense? It’s early in the morning in Denmark 😅

Yes, have to figure out what I want to do with it.
Leaning towards a Githyanki Cleric(Arcane) who belongs to the secret organization,Sha'sal Khou, that works to bring all the sons and daughters of Gith back into one nation, but I'm not committed to the idea yet-

Tiamat and the red dragons have a deal with the Gith, and what also something that would make the character relevent to the adventure

Actually, Ancients is what I was leaning most towards. Devotion was my original intention, but the tenets of Ancients seems to fit Augustine's character better. I'm hesitant about it's nature feel but the overall principles fit really well.

Awesome, I just approved it. We’re wrapping up the last module and doing a bit of downtime and then I’ll set up the next one, hopefully just on the other side of the weekend. You’re welcome to introduce your character during the downtime period if you wish, although you can also wait if you’d prefer to do so at the start of the next module. Feel free to write a character background as well.

Since you’re level 3, I’d allow you and @runekyndig to choose one common potion or scroll on top of the starting equipment and an additional 50 gp.
Oct 28, 2023 8:32 am
Thank you
Oct 28, 2023 9:25 am
Common potion + 190gp worth of equipment then. =)

I will update my sheet during the weekend and introduce my character after downtime. If I do something wrong with equipment, just let me know and I'll fix it.

Vaxis "Vess" Siannodel is an Eladrin Bladesinger wizard (Background Far traveler, as she is from the feywild)

Question for @Sassafras. Is it okey that I have Pseudodragon as a familiar?
[ +- ] Pseudodragon (familiar variant)


Background:
There is a prophecy, "The Guardian of the Balance": A prophecy foretells the arrival of an Eladrin who will play a pivotal role in maintaining the balance between the Forgotten realm and the Feywild. The details of this prophecy are a bit vague as it talks about preventing a great calamity or preventing the two planes from merging, which would have catastrophic consequences. Nevertheless Vess is sure that she is that Eladrin. The Pseudodragon might have something to do with Vess believing that she is The Guardian of the Balance

Just quickly, you will each start at the threshold of Level 3 with 900 experience points, so slightly behind the rest. I'll start the next module either tonight or tomorrow morning, and then you can introduce your characters.

He was a Level 4 rogue and a Level 2 wizard.
I don't have the character sheet anymore, but I could easily make it using your character creation rules.

If not, let me know and will figure something out.

Good point, I forgot to specify what level the party is at. At this point everyone are level 3, so I'd like for you to make a character at the same level. Normally my rule is that new players start at the level threshold in terms of experience points (aka 900 points as a new level 3), but since the three other players are one, maybe two modules away from levelling up, I'll look at the points and find a happy medium.

We have a Rogue/Druid, a Sorcerer and a Artificer so far
Jan 31, 2024 3:49 pm
I might build a Monk.
Kaneda_Shepard What were you thinking?
Jan 31, 2024 4:36 pm
If that helps
- Only our Rogue/Druid prefer melee, more melee is welcome
- I've roller 14 as best score, so my Sorcerer is a poor party face rolling terrible skill checks and decision making skills appropriate for a goblin (and he is one). Not to mention lot of NPCs have default attitude to goblin ever worse that to Monstrosity or a Manufactured creature. Bottom line: if anyone want to make Cha based PC to be party face, I will welcome that
- Scout/sneak/perception roller roles are occupied I believe
- I don't believe we ever needed one, but we currently lack a PC with good Athletics to jump/climb/break doors/etc. Who knows, we may need one.

P.S. I've also occupied the roles of coward, dumb idea implementer and the mistrustful. LOL
Jan 31, 2024 8:27 pm
Hey if you want to build a monk, I got no problem with that, I can come up with a character that can be the charismatic one of the group. Haven't played a bard in a long time so this should be fun!

Just to be specific, what race & classes are we already working with?

Is the Giant Foundling Feat Ok?

Giant Foundling
BGG
p6
Skill Proficiencies: Intimidation, Survival

Languages: Giant and one other language of your choice

Equipment: A backpack, a set of traveler's clothes, a small stone or sprig that reminds you of home, and a pouch containing 10 gp

Origin Stories
How you came to live among colossal creatures is up to you to determine, but the Foundling Origin table suggests a variety of possibilities.

Foundling Origin
d6 Origin
1 You were found as a baby by a family of nomadic giants who raised you as one of their own.
2 A family of stone giants rescued you when you fell into a mountain chasm, and you have lived with them underground ever since.
3 You were lost or abandoned as a child in a jungle that teemed with ravenous dinosaurs. There, you found an equally lost frost giant; together, you survived.
4 Your farm was crushed and your family killed in a battle between warring groups of giants. Racked with guilt over the destruction, a sympathetic giant soldier promised to care for you.
5 After you had a series of strange dreams as a child, your superstitious parents sent you to study with a powerful but aloof storm giant oracle.
6 While playing hide-and-seek with your friends, you stumbled into the castle of a cloud giant, who immediately adopted you.
Building a Giant Foundling Character
Your life among giants has given you a unique perspective. Though you are unusually large for your kind, you're no larger than a giant child, so you might be very mindful of your size.

Feature: Strike of the Giants
You gain the
[ +- ] Strike of the Giants
Suggested Characteristics
The Giant Foundling Personality Traits table suggests a variety of traits you might adopt for your character.

d6 Personality Trait
1 What I lack in stature compared to giants, I make up for with sheer spite.
2 I insist on being taken seriously as a full-grown adult. Nobody talks down to me!
3 Crowded spaces make me uncomfortable. I'd much rather be in an open field than a bustling tavern.
4 I embrace my shorter stature. It helps me stay unnoticed—and underestimated.
5 Every avalanche begins as a single pebble.
6 The world always feels too big, and I'm afraid I'll never find my place in it.
