Character Creation and World Building

Genesis, do we get any rerolls?

I use 4d6 drop the lowest. If your net bonus is 0 or less I'll let you scrap the whole array and start again (and by start again I mean from the beginning, where you choose if you want to roll or do standard arrays). This is kind of a hard line on the whole rolling thing, but in my mind if you take the roll over the standard array or point buying it's because in some sense you want your characters array to be unbalanced. Sure you probably want it to be better then the standard but it does come with the risk of being worse.

Net bonus is 0 or less? What's that mean?
Let's go with rolls.
And we're looking at...
14
14
10
11
15
13
Not much better than the normal, actually, but still good. I like it. No 1 rerolls, right?

So in your case, with array {15,14,14,13,11,10}, the your ability bonuses (before modifications) are {+2,+2,+2,+1,+1,+0} so the net bonus is +8. Not that use want to reroll...

And no reroll ones, also double check your maths I got {15,14,14,13,11,10}

Yep, you're right. Earlier post edited to fit.

So I think I'll lock in the everyone is human or half-human, with the half-humans really just being different human lineages (instead of being cross breeds). With that in mind, how about you guys get involved in fleshing out the town a bit. Give me two townsfolk each; one who owes you something and one you owe something too (if they have a building feel free to establish that too).

You may not know this yet but if you've chosen a back ground use that to establish what you have been doing around the town before you started adventuring.

Finally we should start talking about if you lot have fought together before. In an isolated town of 100 or so people you would at the very least know each other already so that's not the question, but are you all friends? Comrades? etc.

Let's roll em!

Result: 10, 15, 9, 16, 13, 11. I can work with that.

Hmm, {16,15,13,11,10,9}, not bad, slightly better then a standard array but not too good.

Is a Goliath a human with giant blood? In other words, is a Goliath allowed? I'm considering a barbarian.

Actually, never mind. If acceptable, I think I might go Arcane Archer as I haven't tried that before. What's everybody else playing? Is anyone making a tank?

I think the comp is ranger, bard, fighter and what ever your going. I recon we have enough heals, health and dps for you to pick what ever you want. And sure, Goliaths are half human....

I'll get rolling on that when I get home from school/theater practice (7 EST).

My PC, i'm hoping, will be a tanky fighter. And if I am not mistaken, there are healing potions as well

Ability Scores

So...
6, 14, 13, 13, 16, 14.
I guess it's okay? That 6 though is gonna hurt...
I'm thinking a variant human with the Sentinel feat (I absolutely love variant, because feats add so much flavor to a character. ability scores get kinda boring honestly.) I was thinking Fighter Battlemaster with Protection fighting style. Nothing wrong with 3 tanks right? If that's too much, I can easily think of something else.

My character is a Fighter Champion with Protection fighting style if that makes a difference.

I don't think it really matters of we have a lot of tanks.

Well I do have another idea actually. I'll be a Cleric of Life with the Healer feat. To be honest, I don't think I've ever ran a Cleric before, so that'd be fun! How's that everybody?

Looks good to me! My bard might have some healing, depending on what sort of character I feel like he will be/what college I go.

I believe we decided that considering the godless nature of Diablo, we would ban clerics (and the fiend patron for warlocks). We already have a half healer with the bard, but if you want to add to the health pool could I suggest Paladin or Druid.

I can see the note @Genesis, you forgot to add a name.
