Character Creation Thread

Welcome Jace.72!

I'm looking over your character and have a couple of minor adjustments to recommend.

You should have a total of 5 skills to choose for proficiency. Athletics and Intimidation are automatically provided from your background as a Soldier. You get two more from being a Fighter (choose from the options available), and one from being a variant human.

We're restricting ourselves to your class's starting equipment, as well as anything provided by your background. You have a glaive and a longsword, which are allowed as part of your equipment, but if you take those two you won't be able to select shortbow. You do have access to a light crossbow or two handaxes.

The pitons, lantern, and oil are not part of the explorer's pack.

I didn't see anything about your 1st-level feature, Second Wind. If you always remember that you have it, that's fine; we usually add any features from class, race, or other source in the Feats/Abilities section.

You can also add more weapons to the Weapons sections (click "Add Weapon" to add another entry). Speaking of weapons, your Attack Bonus is your Ability Modifier plus Proficiency (if you're proficient, which as a Fighter you ought to be); this gives you a +5 to your attacks with Strength (3) plus Proficiency (2). Your Damage bonus is just your Ability Modifier, which if it's Strength is +3.

For your Magic Initiative spells (I assume you picked Wizard), adjust the ability for your 1st-level spell. You have Strength selected.

Looks good so far. If you haven't yet added an Avatar for your character, go ahead and find one.

Welcome Linus!

I'm looking over your character and have a couple of minor adjustments to recommend.

Write down your known languages somewhere. As a human, you know Common and one other language of your choice.

Your spell selection is fine, but you'll want to track your spell slots somewhere. Some people like to put them in the Notes section.

Your Initiative modifier is based on Dexterity, which is a +2.

Speaking of which, your weapon Attack Bonus and Damage needs adjustment. Since you're using Finesse weapons, you can apply either your Strength or Dexterity modifiers. I assume you're going to use Dexterity, leaving you with a +4 Attack Bonus and +2 Damage.

Your Armor Class should be 13 with Leather and Dexterity.

Would it be possible for me to opt out of this game? I'm running a big campaign and playing 2 others right now so it's hard to focus on this.
