Character Creation

Races Anything!!

Classes & Level
Classes while technically anything is an option I will not pick more than 1 person playing an Artificer if any so if you want to play an Artificer make sure you have an extra good pitch.

We will be starting at level 4 at level four you can pick either an Ability Score Improvement or Feat.

Background
Background while not super relevant in this game will still effect gameplay if you put work into it, and I love when people put qork into their backstory however because of how little it will effect gameplay (you won't be seeing people you know unless their people who died) if you want to just go with a stereotype eg pirate that works too.

Equipment
Regular Starting Equipment Plus 100gp which can be used to buy things at Phb Value.

Planer Rules

Legal Issues
In many places it is Illegal for people to carry weapons or anything that has the capacity to kill.

Predictability
Some things can be anticipated you have a twenty side dice, whenever you toll you can instead choose to use a fixed result from the table once used you must use the rest of the table before the table resets

[table]1[_=0/1]|2[_=0/1]|3[_=0/1]|4[_=0/1]|5[_=0/1]|
6[_=0/1]|7[_=0/1]|8[_=0/1]|9[_=0/1]|10[_=0/1]|
11[_=0/1]|12[_=0/1]|13[_=0/1]|14[_=0/1]|15[_=0/1]|
16[_=0/1]|17[_=0/1]|18[_=0/1]|19[_=0/1]|20[_=0/1]|[/table]

Hello Hello! And Welcome!
I am KoldikSteelskin, a name from a character I once played and while I've considered changing my Username both here and in other places it's become too permeant for for me to change now so whenever I do D&D or TTRPG related things online that's the name I'll use.

I've played and DM'd Dungeon and Dragons 5th edition both in person and online through Pbp, I run games through primarily Theatre of the Mind and Roleplay rather than Battle Maps and Skill Checks in place of storytelling, I expect posts from everyone at least once every 1-3 days or if something will prevent you from posting for longer some type of note to everyone.

Any Questions you have during the character creation process I would be happy to answer and would love to work with you to determine what if any ties you would have to Arcadia.

You have two Options for Character Sheets
#1. The Basic 5e Character Sheet, while this sheet provides all nesseccary functions for a Dungeons and Dragons 5e character some things are more confusing such as jack of all trades.

#2. Custom 5e Sheets a Custom 5e sheet allows you to do more customization for example if you have no spells you can remove the spellcasting feature, it's more complex but allows you to do more here is one example a few others can be found here these sheets are specialized for each class, though to be clear I've never used them.
[ +- ] Custom 5e Sheet
Another thing you should be aware of is if you wish to build your character on D&D beyond I can transfer most things over regardless of which type of sheet you use all you'll need to do is make your character and then add them to this campaign and let me know which one they are.

So, Combats are differently by different people and so I think it's Important to make it clear right now how I run combat.

Maps So I'm admittedly not very good at using either of the nap tools on here but I'm trying to Improve my mapping abilities so while these maps may not be Amazing, I'll try to have maps for most if not all combats these maps will contain a Background Image and Token Images because I figured that much out but they might be oversized forcing you to zoom in or something.

Initiative So if you were thinking maybe I should take the Alert feat so I can have a +5 to Initiative don't.
Why do I say don't? Because Initiative will always be made of two groups Players and Monsters.

Descriptions So I like description but I'd rather you take a quick post and not bother with descriptions if you don't have the time it's best to keep the game moving.

Clarity Please Label everything if it's not clear what it means it didn't happen what I mean by this is Label your spells attacks and such if it's AOE tell me where on the map, if your casting an attack spell or attack with a sword, tell me who your attacking also please let me know your Action, Bonus and Movement like so:
OOC:
Action: Attacking giant on F5
Bonus: Move Hunters Mark To F5
Movement: charge forward to F4
