Character Generation

Go ahead and roll stats in this thread. 4d6 drop the lowest. Do this 7 Times. Drop the lowest.

I would like to have input with everyone on backstories as it will help tie you guys into at least the early part of the story. So we can work that out through pm.
Keep the races the ones from the players handbook. And classes from official D&D releases. Backgrounds I’m open to just about anything just send me the info so I have it.

Use the basic starting equipment and gold for class and background.

If there are any other questions just ask.

Another note: you all have a common friend. A dwarf named Gundren Rockseeker. He is the reason the party will come together. Think about how you know may know Gundren or one his brothers Nundro and Tharden.

Looking forward to seeing how this plays out. A couple questions:

Is there a background "guideline" we have to follow to be tied in?
Would you consider Mystic to be released?

You can choose any "background" but I have some backstory tidbits I would like to add in to each character so they tie in better

And I like the mystic class so I’m cool with it. Just make sure to list all your relevant abilities clearly on the character sheet

Thanks for having me here! Looking forward to building an interesting party and an awesome story together with you all.

Rolling stats has been good to me for my last 2 characters, let's see if it is time for my luck to run dry...

Yep! That's okay :) Should make for a fun character. Stat pool is 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14! It's a straight.

Glad to have you all. Hopefully we have a good bit of fun

So, with the stats I rolled I've been thinking about making Sariel, a half-elf warlock / paladin.

STORY

---

Sariel is the child of star-crossed lovers, a good human paladin who tried and failed to redeem the dark elf warlock he loved. Her mother sold the child of darkness and light to the Dark Powers for personal gain. But even though her soul belongs to the Shadowfell, Sariel will spend her life doing as much good with her powers before being dragged off into the darkness.

Probably not going to be too brooding/emo with Sariel. This has edgelord written all over it, but I would play her as good-natured, although pissed off about the fate her father sold her into. While she is prone to violent outbursts, she will mostly be trying to stack up the number of ticks in the Good column with the hope that she can balance the evil that will come from her mother's betrayl. The story is a redemption arc but not from her own deeds, so I feel I will be free to play her as less edgy/brooding and mostly good, but with a dark side.

Sariel believes her father is dead but her mother is alive.

PARTY CONNECTIONS

---

I'm assuming (because we're playing an adventure path) that we will mostly be a good party. If it's not shaping up that way, I will try to change the concept to match. If it does shape up to be a mostly good party, an easy connection would be that one or more of the characters in the party was responsible for bringing her back from the darkness or helps keep her in the light. Maybe HypCo's mystic uses his mental powers to soothe Sariel's troubled mind in troubling times?

MECHANICS (awaiting DM approval)

---

If it meets with your approval, Sclasclemski, I'd start with the Hexblade patron from Xanathar's guide. Sariel will therefore be able to use Charisma as her attack and casting stat, which makes up for her otherwise weak stats.

I'll make sure I take at least a 13 in strength so I can multiclass in Paladin shortly after, eventually going with the Oath of Vengence to avenge her fallen father. Not sure how the levelling will go. It will probably depends on how the story goes, but at the moment I feel like it will start on the light side with lots of Paladin and then get darker with lots of warlock as she gets into the higher levels.



A being of light descending into darkness. Can she redeem herself?

Sounds good. I will send you som additional character backstory tidbits to tie into your story that you can share or keep secret.

Ah, my bad, I meant backstory. Are we allowed to roll for starting wealth? If not, can I exchange a couple items for others? I get a lot of junk that I feel doesn't mesh well for my concept. Background used: Here.

I'm almost done making my character. Sorry for taking awhile, there is a lot to choose from!

Pm me your back story idea and I’ll procide some info to add that will tie you in

I dont want you rolling for starting wealth but I'll allow to swap items for there value straight up.

Also I recommend that at least one person in the party knows the Giant language.

Also I recommend that at least one person in the party knows the Giant language.

Okay, cool; I'm mostly just throwing stuff away.

Exchange:
Spear/Mace (Value: 1/5 gp) -> Two arrows (Value: 1 sp)
Monster Hunter's Pack (Value: 33 gp) -> Shield (Value: 10 gp)

Submitted. Let me know if you have any question about the vast maze that is the mystic class and my character sheets. I'll have my backstory to you shortly.

If need be, I can replace Orc with Giant.

I'm playing a mystic in another game so I am familiar with them a little....thats the main reason I am good with you running one.

Hi everyone!

I have played Phandelver once up until the first encounter and the game was stopped... I do hope that we will fare better :D

HypCo, what kind of Mystic are you planning to make? "Asking for a friend" :D

And let's roll some stats~

Ok, I have array of [16 14 13 12 12 11]

Initial rolls....

EDIT 1: If we are not re-rolling the ones, I would have an array of... 4-11-18-15-10-6-15

EDIT 2: I am thinking about going with a rogue... possibly a ranger.

Me too Kuroi!

@Kuroi, Mystic. I really don't know what he is to be honest, I just picked what I thought would be fun.

Another note: you all have a common friend. A dwarf named Gundren Rockseeker. He is the reason the party will come together. Think about how you know may know Gundren or one his brothers Nundro and Tharden.
