Character Creation

24d6 drop the lowest 6 arrange in sets of 3 or standard array or point buy.

Races available in the forums (almost all races are available).

Any official Class is acceptable.

Nothing from DND One or 6 or 5.5, whatever they are calling it.

Starting level 3. Base equipment +3d6 gold only.

Rolling my dice. Note: I'm roll using formula 24d6H18 to roll that will keep 18 best results, i.e. drop 6 lowest

By the way I (other players probably also will) have questions:
- are variant human is allowed?
- Are Customizing Your Origin from Tasha's allowed for non human (i.e. could a half-orc get +2 to int and elf to str or we keep those modifiers as in PHB?)

Yes to both

Since Loxodon is not among allowed races I'm picking to Elf-Eladrin(Winter)
Just to double check if I got this right my final scores (with +2 Wis and +1 Dex for my Elf)
STR 10 (4+3+3)
DEX 16 (5+5+5) +1
CON 16 (5+5+5)
INT 12 (4+4+4)
WIS 20 (6+6+6) +2
CHA 12 (5+4+3)

If that is all right I will proceed to complete my character sheet

Actually, it appears you have too many one too many 5s and are missing a 6.

Typo CON 16 (5+5+5) should have been CON 16 (6+5+5)

I posted my character concept on that other thread. I deleted it there; I will repost it here for reference. Do I need to change my character to be more in line with the setting? Because I can. Just lemme know.




Coakley "Hawk" Fredson
Human Rogue (Thief)
Sailor Background

STR: 11
DEX: 16
CON: 14
INT: 9
WIS: 13
CHA: 15

Hawk is an aging man who has sailed under the command of pirates, pirate hunters, merchants, mercenaries, and soldiers. At the age of 10, he became a cabin boy, the youngest of his cohort, and he decided thereafter to never return to his childhood home.

Hawk got his nickname as a teenager, after a crewman commended him for spying a ship from far away.

Hawk loves to tell long, dramatic, and sometimes exaggerated stories of his journeys, many of which involve supernatural occurrences (or so he claims). He doesn't like to talk about certain captains he worked with, but a pot of ale can definitely loosen his lips.

Hawk lost his left leg below the knee, after a mutiny involving the infamous Captain Karney. Hawk now relies on a peg leg to keep him ambulatory.

In his young adulthood, Hawk accidentally impregnated a tavern wench named Lily Langtree. Their daughter, Sariah, is now fully grown. Sariah has yet to decide between a life as a "respectable" woman, or a career at sea. Hawk has told her to stay ashore, but that counsel has probably fallen on deaf ears.

It's most likely alright. I'll let you peruse the data and make a final decision.

Character submitted. Let me know what extra info you need in the character sheet (@The_DM since you are new to this site, I'd like to note that you will need approve my charactersheet sheet for me to use it, but we will both be able to see and edit it in future)

@Sneepy Make sure on your character sheet you have your AC and Initiative. You should also have all of the skills on there, not just the ones you are proficient in.

Excited to be here and get going! I'm a bit behind, but I'll work to get a character put together in short order.

1s x 0
2s x 2
3s x 3
4s x 6
5s x 4
6s x 3

Oh! I should ask, what are others looking at playing? It's a small group, so I'm happy to fill a role and make sure we're well rounded.

Right now we have a Druid and a rogue

Sounds good. I'm thinking I'll run a more melee build with face skills then. Paladin with a dip into Warlock maybe?

Whatever you feel like. I’ll create a warlock patron for you, based on what you pick.

Went with Hexblade. Submitted the sheet.

Ok, seeing this, I'm thinking I'll do a Kenku Grave Domain Cleric.
I'll roll with this post (hopefully) and then build my character off of that. I'll let you know when I have the character sheet.

Awesome combination! I love it. I've never played a kenku before, but I have considered it. This should be fun to see.

All righty, I've got a rough outline and I'm trying to finish but wanted to check for approval because at this point it may affect some decisions.
My Character (name Pending) is a Kenku hermit and Grave Domain Cleric of either (Orathum) or (Virela).

As for deity, I like Orathum for the inevitability that the end of things are burdened with. The hourglass. Death, the Grave. These things cannot be escaped but it does not you should hurry to leave this life so soon.

Virela is my second choice but is just as thematically charged with the whole death and balance thing going on.

Stats:

Str (-1) 8 (2+2+3) +1 Racial
Dex (+1) 12 (4+4+4)
Con (+1) 12 (4+4+4)
Int (+0) 10 (4+3+3)
Wis (+5) 20 (6+6+6) +2 Racial
Cha (+0) 10 (4+3+3)

If this looks ok then I will proceed with character creation.

Looks good but I do want you to put all your skills on there, not just your proficient ones.
