Well I think we are going to play characters that come from the same town or village. Some place small, maybe Greenest. There was a natural disasters that we helped save people. I was recognized as a saviour, at the time. It was later found out that I had been the main cause for the disaster in the first place. All of us really but it was my idea. Now going home is not an option.
I will be playing a cleric due to my mistake I have turned to faith as a way of coping with it. What gods are you allowing?

I think I may go for a wizard, a budding apprentice looking to do some good in the world. I'm going to go high elf noble but more humble than most doesn't see himself as better than everyone much prefers the company of the more 'common' folk to nobility, they're more fun.

Deciding against halfing? Per DM fiat, you now have disadvantage for the rest of the game.
To *hopefully* even out the group, go ahead and reroll that 9 until it's double digits.

I figured. I just really want to play character, it will be worth rhe disadvatage.
If you are talking to me. Ok, although like you, I enjoy having a flaw in my characters.

You can do as you please, they're your stats but flaws don't need to be strictly stat-wise. A player in a game I'm in (Jabes, who is an excellent player) is playing a character where she was betrayed by family and friends and beaten severely; he took reduced movement speed and disadvantage on acrobatics and athletics.

Hey Silver.Hawk, normally you're supposed to roll with the in-thread dice roller like Apex and Cazzumz used. However, I made this game to get new people interested in the game, not enforce too heavily on rules so I'll let you keep your rolls. I will ask that all future rolls use the dice system the site provides though.
With all that said, your sheet looks pretty complete. I changed what errors I saw, which weren't much, I added your initiative roll, your attack roll, and your damage roll; and since you're a monk I added your unarmed strike.

I didn't realize we were meant to do our rolls and such on the site. I apologize and will do so in the future. I appreciate being able to keep my current rolls.
I'm going as a monk in his early 20s with a soldier background. I lost a younger brother and many friends during that time. Near the end of my service some stuff went down with a commanding officer and I was branded a deserter and beaten nearly to death. I was thrown in jail where I was saved and freed by a passing monk. The monk allowed me to join his order, where I have lived and trained up til this point. (Thus my monk class/soldier background)
I couldn't really find a picture that jumped out at me for my character concept. (I also don't know how to post that picture here)

Vaguely similar to what I had in mind. My character also has a brand on his forehead covered by a tattoo of some kind.

You should be rolling at disadvantage for deciding against halfling, Apex. Also, what kind of smack does 1d8? Cheater.

Okay, GreyRook, first things first. Are those your stats, as rolled or did you add anything to them? Since you are new and have no experience with any classes, I'd HIGHLY recommend using the UA Ranger and just skipping the PHB class.
There is three different subraces of elves: High Elf, Wood Elf, and Dark Elf. Wood Elf is the more "ranger" orientated one.
As a ranger, starting at 1st level, you get 10+your Con. modifier(which is +1 for you) hp. Your proficiency bonus is +2. Your initiative is your Dex. modifier (which is +3 for you). Being an elf your speed is 30.
Let me know if you want to roll for wealth or use your starting equipment (I'd recommend the latter for your first time).
Look through the PDF I linked then let me know what you need help with.

Thanks for the help Hyp. I think I'll stick with the starting equipment. The stats for my character were rolled.

Waiting on Cazzumz, haven't heard anything from him since his rolls.
All the submitted characters look good, though.

Apologies for the delay really busy at work due to the exam season being in full swing. Character is submitted even if it is somewhat bare bones right now.
Jun 21, 2017 12:04 pm
Bare bones'ing is fine. This was made to be an introductory game to get new peoples feet wet, as it were, so I won't hold it against anyone for not having a backstory that leads back to the character's birth.
Jun 21, 2017 12:05 pm
I have everything in to get started just need my racial/class features (although I'm sure all I have at level 1 is darkvision and arcane recovery) and the spell info blocks filling out at the moment. But other than that I feel I have enough to get started.

Just found out that GreyRook will no longer be joining us. He feels the format doesn't work for him. Sad to see him leave.
That said, would I be able to retcon to get my spell slot back and say his character doed from the water instead of knocked out?

Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully, I didn't turn him off of DnD.
Sure, you guys need all the help you can get.

Shame about Rook but I guess PBP isn't for everyone fairly different to other ways of playing d&d so I don't think you've turned him off HypCo games running great imo.

OOC:
The speed of play is one of the only things that could be a detriment for me. But if I do my best to ignore my desire for the game to be much faster, then it's fine. I initially got turned on to DnD by playing the Tiny Tina borderlands dlc, but I had no one to do it with. The subject came up at work with Apex and I started watching Critical Role. This style of play is VASTLY different than theirs. I believe that was his expectation for this site. I've gotten more used to it now, but I admit that my expectations were for a much quicker gameplay style as well.Aug 1, 2017 12:29 pm
Okay, glad to hear that, thanks guys.
Sadly, the speed can't really be helped due to differential times zones and people's schedules; PbP will be a huge turn off if you jump in expecting the constant that Critical Role has.
Just look at all the positives it brings instead of the one negative; I think they far outweigh the negativity of slow posting:
We get to play D&D essentially everyday, wherever we want as long as we have access to the internet.
We get to play with people all around the world, maybe it's just me but I find that super cool.
It allows people who normally don't have enough time to still be able to play.

Hey Jabes, as I said, your character doesn't have to be in depth; feel free to use point buy or this method: Roll 4d6 drop lowest, 7 times, take the the best 6 results, assign them wherever you'd like. Again, this will be the only relevant and spoiler free post for you.
Sep 17, 2017 7:13 pm
Hi all! Glad to be here! :-)
Is there any character class you guys prefer? I'm unsure of the current party makeup.
What material is allowed? PHB only? SCAG/EE? UA? Volo's? Homebrew?
Thanks!

Sep 17, 2017 7:23 pm
Party makeup is currently Life Cleric, Monk, and Wizard.
I believe I restricted it to PHB only (with the updated ranger UA), so to remain fair, I'll keep it like that. I will say now, that your class probably will not matter for what I have planned.

Would everyone be so disappointed if I bowed out of this game? I love your DMing Hyp but like you said it was only an introduction and you have done that. Silver.Hawk is doing great now. I have been wanting to play in a Star Wars game that actually goes somewhere, for a while now but have a lot going on her and would love to free up a game slot for myself.
Sep 25, 2017 9:16 pm
No disappointment here. I will say though, this will not be your ordinary game, it probably won't be to time consuming; think of it as a going-away party where we see how bad (good?) we can trash this world.
