Character Sheets
Be sure to read and follow the guidelines for our forums.
As for characters I will make, since I get 2 lv 1s, I am thinking a ranged and druid. They are part of an order of nature protectors, but on their first mission made a big mistake and were captured and sent here. They have known each other for about 2 years. I'm thinking they are both half elves, and part of their mission was to impress the elves they love with in hopes of being more accepted. That clearly isn't going well for them.
Is Unearthed Arcana material available on DnD Beyond if you paid for it's access there? Does that mean homebrew material, if access to it is purchased on DnD Beyond, it can be used?
As for D&D Beyond and all that, there's no need to buy anything, there's plenty of ways to access whatever you want for free online. If you just want to use a bit of paper, that's all good as well, probably easier anyway, I honestly prefer a low-tech approach. If you do have any Unearthed Arcana or whatever, feel free to use it.
I don't want to get too bogged down in character creation discussion just now, so going forward, just start posting what you want to do in the gameplay thread, and we'll figure it out as we go along. All I really need right now is your class, race, and hit points.
If it helps Sardis, I only used the free content for DND Beyond because it had the 2024 rules for the character builder. I just followed the beginner tutorial.
The two characters submitted are:
Alvin, Human, Rogue, HP 9
Yvandra, Dwarf, Fighter, HP 14
And then you will find those charactersheets below players. You need to hit approve next to charactersheet for player to be able to post using appropriate PC avatar/name
P.S. I will need few days time to come up with my PC ideas. For me PC is more than class and hp: name, visual, backstory, characteristics and what not. Are there a deadline?

1. Do we use standard array or roll the stats?
2. dnd 5E or 2024?
3, What sources are available? Only the official ones? UA? Both?
I’m not going to answer further questions relating to character creation or general logistics, just do whatever you feel is best, and if we need to adjust something later, we can.
I’m also going on a trip for four days, so I won’t be able to post again until Tuesday.
Thanks for the answers!
Have a great trip!
Himo, a half-elven bardic fellow, was tossed into prison and made to bunk with a half-orc named Holg. The two soon became buddies, bonded by half-human sensibilities and celebrating their differences. Himo told Holg bardic tales of fun and adventure, and how the life of an entertainer can truly be something. Holg shared from his heart, that he himself had been enslaved as a pit fighter, a gladiator. Unable to pay off debts, he was imprisoned, and though his own entertainment days were over.
When the duo were subsequently tossed down into the dungeon, they made a pact. A pact to brand themselves The Amazing Halfzo Brothers, and try their half-human hands at one last act. Go out with a bang, and maybe entertain some fellow prisoners in the process.
It’s going to be great.

Alright... after the rolls and a little brainstorming, I think I'm going with 2014 rules. A Varant Human Hexblade and a Half Elf Monk.
