Secrets of the Greenwold PC creation/advancement

Welcome, welcome, @idylliceffie! I'm looking forward to continuing our fun (and sometimes nail-bitingly tense) adventure with you!

It hadn't occurred to me, but it makes sense that you could choose to customize the character for yourself. Unfortunately in this instance, I cannot just reassign the character to another player, nor can I copy the character and give you your own copy.

So, to start with, I recommend you do three things:

1) Given your question, decide to either:
a) keep her existing scores (and derived characteristics such as AC and initiative modifier),
or
b) use your rerolled ability scores (and adjust the derived characteristics)

For reference, you can (possibly) look at the existing Elysia character sheet (that's a clickable link). The ability scores of the original are: STR: 11, DEX: 18, CON: 15, INT: 11, WIS: 12, CHR: 14, which gives that version of the character an AC of 15 (leather armor), HP of 24, and an initiative modifier of +4.

You can also choose to make her human, elf, or half-elf (any of those three make sense narratively); the original Elysia is a half-elf.

2) Before you make a character sheet for Elysia on GP to record your choices, however, I recommend that you look at the character sheets of the other players. There's a fairly wide variety of formatting available just in this party. The characters are all linked from this post at the beginning of this thread (another clickable link). Find a character sheet that you like, and ask that player what template they used. Elysia's original player used the default D&D 5e character sheet provided by Gamers Plane, which may not be your preference. Once you've found a template you like, use your preferred template to create your Elysia's character sheet.

3) On the new Elysia character sheet, if you can view the existing Elysia character sheet (you should be able to, as I asked everyone to make their characters public), you can copy the equipment (the equipment will remain the same) and notes. If you can't view it for some reason, let me know and I'll copy it myself and send it to you.

Wondering if @MaJunior has the identify spell or if Zin should pick it up? I think it’s only available to us. I didn’t take it at level 1 so it would be a step back in gaining a spell, but I know in the long term it is handy for a party to have.

I don't have it, and I don't get spells this level.

Actually... I think I could add it to my prepared spell list. I have 4, and I can have 5.

We still need a pearl though.

I am down to keep an eye out on the hunt for a pearl. If you’re picking it up, I’ll get some other communication based spell. Zone of Truth or Suggestion or something that seems very Zin-like to whip out in dealings with Lord Mayor type shitheads. Maybe Silence. Hmmm.

Morik - Level 4:
- Avg HP
- +2 Wis

Faith is a 3 level paladin, default hp, oath of devotion is the most fitting subclass, for the twilight sentry that she has become

Picked up Actor feat. Building a super spy.

I had to double-check to make sure I was remembering correctly, but Feats is not one of the optional rules we are using.

Whoops my bad. I shall correct it immediately. I will be updating the sheet this weekend; first week of new job has been hectic and I’m losing about 12 hours per day to the commute and everything

Huh. I honestly forgot feats are technically an optional rule. Well hell, that makes it easy(er).

○ Average HP.
○ +2 DEX

Hey y'all
I'll be creating a character in the morning.
Rolling now

Welcome. What will you be making?

Thanks for accepting the invitation, Eyes, and welcome!

You're free to make a character of any class you like, but if you're interested in knowing what the other characters are, you can refer to the party roster.

Allow me to clean up the party roster ;)

I went with a young wood elf. He's mid 20's but still looks like a kid.
Fighter / Rogue

Not going for optimal build or anything. Just trying to make him fun

Thanks. I'm sending you some notes in a separate message.

Just a reminder to everyone: I encourage you to make your characters publicly visible.

@Eyes - I like the background details of your character, Woody. Feel free to name the high elven city; it would have been another vestige of the Drakall Empire, further east than Mara (so Woody would have come west to Mara). Share some elements of your background so that the other players can brainstorm with you to figure out how your PCs know each other. It could be in Mara, it could be in Grayhaven.

We'll introduce Woody to the party as soon as it reaches the surface in Grayhaven again. How/why did Woody come to Grayhaven?

He is a kid. Elves aren't considered adults till they hit a century. 😂

Didn’t realize Morik’s sheet wasn’t public, it should be now.

Is Adran visible? Can you guys see the sheet?

I see it fine
