Character Generation

Welcome, welcome to the character generation for Out of the Abyss.

Brief recap:
Stats: 2d6+6, no re-rolls, assigned as you wish.
************************
Edited Stat Method
If your first set of 2d6+6 rolls end up with a total modifier score of 3 or less, you can roll a full new array of 2d6+6. (Example, roll result is 12 (1), 10 (0), 10 (0), 9 (-1), 9 (-1), 8(-1). Total modifier score is -3. Roll a new batch of 6). Additionally, if you don't want to use the random method, you are free to use the standard array as laid out in the PHB (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8 - Total Modifier score of +4). Sorry for the tweaking and such. I like variation in a character, but close to average across the board can quickly become un-fun. Which kind of defeats the purpose of gaming at its core, no? :)

Alright let's give this a try

Gah good lord O_O

ah well

I need to pick a class and race. It will come together.

That is one of the stranger outcomes I've ever seen off a 2d6+6.

Really how so ?

Previous times I've seen it or used it, usually it nets a slightly more balanced base array (not that your is particularly weak). Ah well, good RP opportunity. :)

Ok no problem, first time I have used that method but I will roll with it.

I think I'm going to play a deep gnome mage.

Yuck.

I think I may have to tweak the rules a bit. If your total mod score is 3 or less, take a second swing at it.

I'm on with variance, but man, that array seems like it would be pretty prohibitive in the fun arena.

Deep Gnomes hmmm what book are they in ?

You know what type of wizard, what school your going to specialize in ?

Can we do the standard array scores (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8)? Second roll might suck too.

Deep gnome mention in PHB at pg. 36. They live in the Underdark.

My thought was you'd reroll the whole array. Though if you want to take the standard array, that's fine by me as well. It's reasonably balanced.

Elemental Evil I believe. Free download from WotC

Ok cool, will need to check it out.

No idea what I'm playing yet.

Erm, that's a little powerful. Should I reroll that?

Nah, go ahead and keep it (unless you want to re-roll it).

Okay. I'm going with a half-orc druid.
