Planning standard array for stats and will roll now for HP. I think it's 5d8 since level 5 + constitution modifier which Chakan has as +2

should be +2 per level

Hmm, is that right? Or should it be

Lv 1: 8+2
Then Lv 2: add 3+2
Then Lv 3: add 5+2
Then Lv 4: add 6+2
Then Lv 5: add 1+2
Ending up with HP 33

yeah that looks right to me.

Also, while it isn't in an "officially published" source. Since Monk is classically underpowered, I did want to offer using the playtest/DnD2024 martial Arts dice scaling. Starting at d6 instead of d4. I will leave that as your call but know it is on the table

Awesome! Thanks, I'll keep that in mind

What type of monastery did Chakan grow up in?

d6 Monastery
1 Your monastery is carved out of a mountainside, where it looms over a treacherous pass.
2 Your monastery is high in the branches of an immense tree in the Feywild.
3 Your monastery was founded long ago by a cloud giant and is inside a cloud castle that can be reached only by flying.
4 Your monastery is built beside a volcanic system of hot springs, geysers, and sulfur pools. You regularly received visits from azer traders.
5 Your monastery was founded by gnomes and is an underground labyrinth of tunnels and rooms.
6 Your monastery was carved from an iceberg in the frozen reaches of the world.

What type of master did Chakan have?

d6 Master
1 Your master was a tyrant whom you had to defeat in single combat to complete your instruction.
2 Your master was kindly and taught you to pursue the cause of peace.
3 Your master was merciless in pushing you to your limits. You nearly lost an eye during one especially brutal practice session.
4 Your master seemed goodhearted while tutoring you, but betrayed your monastery in the end.
5 Your master was cold and distant. You suspect that the two of you might be related.
6 Your master was kind and generous, never critical of your progress. Nevertheless, you feel you never fully lived up to the expectations placed on you.

Hmm, I can't get the strength modifier to be +2 and constitution +2 due to the character's half-orc heritage. How do I fix that? Otherwise, I have submitted the character sheet. I'll try to find an appropriate avatar picture tomorrow. Please let me know if anything else should be updated. Thanks for setting this game up!

it looks like you just put in the standard array?



you can just edit two of (ANY stat doesn't have to be str and con, due to allowing the Tasha's rules) to be the required numbers.

From what I can see is you can increase one stat by 2, and one by 1. Are you saying you want a 14 Strength and a 14 CON?

You could also, swap the 12 and 13 in Str and Constitution, then put your +2 in Con and +1 in Dex (upping that modifier)

OK, thank you, I think it's fixed up. Just the avatar needs to be added tomorrow.

Reviewing your sheet looks like you are still missing your racial ability score boosts as well as your ASI at level 4

Ah, OK. How do I add those onto the character sheet? Do I just manually add in the scores or is there somewhere I should check off?

Just manually add those in to the scores

OK, I manually added the racial ability scores based off what I saw creating the character in dndbeyond, I used the ASI of level 4 to increase Chakan's intelligence by 2: https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/128661309
