General Character Creation General

Adventuring: PCs should be created with reasons to go on the adventure and thus play the game.

Cooperative Group Play Only: PCs should be created with the party in mind, should have a reason to cooperate and trust each other.

Anti-Heroes: are permitted given the criteria above is met. The anti-hero is still a hero and tends to have nontraditional heroic morals and nobility. Anti-Heroes tend to be darker and more controversial. NO EVIL PCs!

Starting Level is 1

First Character
OOC:
Before I go forward with this character, do we allow the optional rule of rerolling if a character has no stat at 14 or higher?

Alright, giving it a second shot, unless DM says otherwise.

Yikes... that's even worse... DrGwen suggested if a set had a 6 or less you'd also get a reroll... what say you oh mighty GM?
Apr 18, 2025 12:17 pm
Heh, indeed, the dice do seem to have taken a dislike to me today.

I'll hold off until the DM makes a decision. But it's fine if these are the stats I'm stuck with, one of the perils of random generation!
