Character Creation

I should start out by saying this will be a very mature game, adult language and themes will be used. You will potentially be in the mafia and the lifestyle that comes with that.

---

Character creation here, it is fairly straight forward as you aren't "heroes" or "adventurers", you are an average person.

Hit Dice: 1d4
Hit Points: 8 + Constitution modifier (You will have two separate health pools: Lethal/NonLethal)

Your base ability scores are all 10. You may choose to decrease a single stat to 8 in order to increase a different ability score to 12. Add your relevant race modifiers.

Instead of classes, you can pick a feat from this list:
Alert
Charger
Healer
Inspiring Leader
Lucky
Skulker
Tavern Brawler
(This is in addition to the feat you gain from variant (no magic feats))

Proficiency:
For languages: Instead of being common, it will be english. Your extra language granted by human can be any common languages (Spanish, Italian, German, etc... (Do note: you'll be trying for a spot in the equivalent of the italian mafia)).
For saving throws: Choose your two
For skills: Choose three of your choice
For weapons: Choose two (Sap (Club), Dagger, Bat (Greatclub), Light Hammer, Sledge Hammer (Maul), Brass Knuckles), Choose one (Automatic Pistol, Revolver, Hunting Rifle, Automatic Rifle, Shotgun)
Armor: Light

Starting Equipment:
Armor: None (10+Dex)
Weapons: Choose one (Dagger, Light Hammer, Brass Knuckles)
Cash: 15 GP

I probably forgot some things but if you have any questions or are unsure of something feel free to ask.

Proficiency bonus? +2?

Yarp.

And backgrounds? Yay or nay?

Rough draft made for my character. Let me know if there is anything you want me to add that I might have missed.

Mostly nay, the only real point for them is for the characteristics, which here, aren't really all that necessary.

If there is a war he could have served in, I was just going to give him the background of Soldier as well as PTSD due to his service which would play into his Alert feat. Pretty much to just add to the RP, no extra crap.

*Posted before knowing a war is currently being fought*

Okay, decided against that roll for wealth and just made it a base $15 (GP). As it was before, you rolled $1.90.

Could of been discharged but keep in mind your characters age range can't be too crazy, you all were supposed to grow up together.

What city are we in? Chicago, New York?

Sure, let's do New York.

Joseph is from Sweden. He moved with his parents to an Italian neighborhood because his parents didnt know any better. he goes by joey to fit in better but he still stands out a lot with blonde hair and standing 6'2". He fought a lot when he was a kid because he was so different. but Tommy and Paulie came to his rescue when they were in elementary school. Tommy chose to go to war and Joey end up going to prison. He is 22 and has just gotten out of Rickers Island.
