Character Creation/OOC

1st level, follow the book. If you have questions or need help, feel free to ask.

*Now that character creation has been completed, this can now function as a place for OOC.

Just wanted to share that I am making a Guardian dog. I hope others see this and join soon. I'm excited!

Planning a Ratter/Mutt, if that's OK. Loosely based on my mum's dog
It's my first time here so I'm not quite sure how it works. As there is no Pugmire template in the Characters section, do we just use the 5th ed one and replace the skills with the relevant ones and add Tricks as Feats?
Anyway, I'll create the character by the book and will fill in the official sheet. I can then email you a copy?

As for the game itself, I assume it's a forum style thread where the GM sets the scene and then the players state what they are doing?

Oh, important note, I'm in the UK so likely awake at different times as players in the US (i.e. not when it's evening in the US). If this is an issue, please let me know.

Thanks,
Ozzy

Yeah, feel free to use whatever is in he book.

Correct, I had to change very little from the 5th edition sheet (you can take a look at it here). No need for email, everything can be done by the site:
1. Go here.
2. At the bottom, there is a 'New Character' spot, give it a label and select Dungeons and Dragons 5th then click 'Create'. Should take you to a blank 5th edition sheet.
3. Fill out all pertinent information, hit save, and go to this game's detail page and look for 'Submit a Character'; your character should show up, hit submit and I'll be able to see your sheet.

Correct, when all the characters have been submitted I'll throw up a game thread setting the scene and you players will post how you act.

No issue at all, I've played with someone from the UK, that is the beauty of PbP.

Character submitted! Might change my mind and swap CHA and CON, though.

It looks like you're missing your second Mutt trick, unless I'm reading that wrong.

You only get one breed trick. page 68: "Your character’s breed and background come with one trick each."
Confirmed on page 76, At first level, a dog gets one specific breed trick to start with and for Mutt it says "Choose one from"
Only if I take a further Breed Trick when going up a level, I need to take it from the same Breed as the first one.

Ah, I was reading that Mutt's get two starting breed tricks but it's talking about past 1st level. Got it, thanks.

Since we've got a Ratter and a Guardian, I'll make a Hunter :)

Hi Naat! Do we have a fourth player yet?

No forth, as of yet, but I finally got around to posting a dedicated player request post today so hopefully we get someone soon. However, I made a character and am perfectly fine with having a four man party, if we don't want to wait and get no further interest.

Rolling for Ideal, Bond, Flaw!

Submitted! I don't think I missed anything :)

Geez, you're an absolute monster, that was so fast.

It ain't much different than 5e, and you know that I can navigate that like the back of my hand :P

150+ IQ don't hurt either ;)

Hi everyone! :-D

So how do I do this? I don't have the book.

Welcome aboard, Jabes.

It is relatively straight forward, much like 5e: pick a Breed (race), Calling (class), and background.
Assign ability scores: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, and 8 (+2 to one stat, depending on your breed.)

Let me know if you have a specific dog breed you want to play as, as well as what class you want to be, and I'll give you the basis for them.

They relabeled the Skills (I have mine listed by ability score: Here.)

Corgi. 'Cause I had one IRL but he died. :-(

What do they call Fighters in this game? Or maybe a Rogue? What role is the current party lacking?

I'm afraid I don't have too much real life experience with corgi's so I can't give you an accurate breed choice, so I'll list them all and you can pick what best fits or which ever you like more

The party is lacking a healer, but I won't force someone into a role. If we don't get a healer, I'll make sure there are ways to deal without.

Right now, we have:
a guardian
a ratter
a hunter
and
an artisan.

Do note though, that even though you pick the same calling, they can be vastly different.
