Session Zero/Character Creation

This is Cerise Duskglow, a human Rogue (2024). Sorry for being quiet over the past day or so. I was working on the sheet in DNDBeyond as well as looking into where my character could be from. I'm thinking Cerise will be from Zilargo. Born in Korranberg, she attended the Blackdragon college at the Library in order to become a physician. She finished off her exemplary school days by stumbling upon the cure to a particularly nasty gnomish disease, so Korranberg's triumvir approached he and she became their physician right as she graduated. She served for nearly a decade until disaster struck: The triumvir was assassinated, and circumstantial evidence made her the prime suspect. She fled Zilargo right away, as she doubted she would receive a fair trial, or any trial at all really. The Trust were after her every step of the way, but she slipped over the southern Breland border and made her way northeast, blending in with the shadier crowds to survive. This eventually brought her to Salvation, where she felt she could start anew. Her reasons for joining the salvage team remain the same. She still keeps looking over her shoulder, expecting the Trust to come her at any point. Gnomes make her anxious now too, even if she logically knows not every gnome is an undercover Trust spy.

Seeing some awesome character ideas everyone. Can't wait to start playing.

Where do you want the character sheets? here or dndbeyond?

Full character sheets on dndbeyond please. Here you can just create a placeholder one with a name and a portrait so you can post in character. Or you can use a full sheet which will help with dice rolls.

I suggest here as it is easier for you to use the die rollers ;)
But that is just my preference

oki. Is there a way to easily import the skills list for this page or does one simply type them from one end to the other?

First look for the character sheet earligere in this post

Fill in your stats and your professions by clicking on the checkmarks
You should see that you get the same modifiers as DNDbeyond
Kael is proficient in History, but don't have expertise (that would been 2 checkmarks) when I pressed the 1d20+5 button the roll is made on the post



click the inkwell to edit a section. If you want it to be collapsable as here you will start with a # i.e. #Human and everything between this # and the next # will be with in the Human field. Makes sense?


That should answer 80% of your questions to the sheet. Otherwise check the documentation of the BB codes here or ask :)

Thanks @runekyndig! Thats very helpful!

How's everyone doing? I'd love to get started soon.

I've finished my character.

Im having some trouble with dndbeyond
The character I am planning to play was originally written as a forest gnome, but I cannot choose that on ddbeyond. I took the 2014-info for mechanics. is that how its done?

You should be able to. Are you using the campaign link to build your character?

I was. switched to here when I couldnt find the gnome.

Or rather - I found gnomes, but only deep gnomes and rock gnomes. No Forrest gnomes

Tim on the outside
Tim is just a scrawny little boy in rags.
He wrapped a shawl full of holes up like a hood so it hides his face. But somewhere inthere, there is a set of bright eyes, freckles and short, dark, wispy hair. Bare arms, short pants, no shoes and dirty feet. The dust of a life in the darkest corners of Sharn city is in his hair, skin and the rags he wear - he would probably change colour if he had a bath.
Tim is used to being poor - he never knew anything else.

Tim om the inside - A bit of his hidden backstory (there be spoilers :) )
Tim is too small to survive on his own. He knows that. So. When he lived in Sharn, he teamed up with a halforc called Maria. They lived together in the large City of Towers and got by with everything from small-time pilfering to more elaborate scams and drug-transportation for the Boromar Clan (although Tim didnt know about it at the time).

The last time he saw Maria, she gave him a small polished stone that he now wears around his neck. He was told to hide it somewhere where noone would find it because it could be their insurance. Later that day, Maria disappeared after speaking to a few short men and after weeks of mourning and searching, Tim decided to get revenge on the Boromar Clan. But. Getting back at them for stealing his friend had its price, and therefore he has now gone into hiding in Salvation.

Tim is not his real name, but it works for the time being. Tim likes when things work.

(@joshua; I know you asked for dndbeyond, but now I have a finished sheet here. Ready to play. Ill fix dndbeyond if I get acces to the forrest gnome some day. OK?)

So it looks like forest gnome is not an option in the 2024 PHB. Do you have legacy content toggles for your character?
