Character Creation

Jan 31, 2018 2:48 am
While I'm usually pretty slack on character creation, I want in this game to play more attention to deeper backgrounds. The Forgotten Reallms is so rich, we can use factions and hooks to draw from that tapestry.

Discuss your character ideas, and I'll add some Adventure Hook material from the campaign book for the players ro choose from.

Here is a link to Szemely's Excellent Character Creation Guide for new players.

Attributes should be rolled in this forum so that we can all congratulate you on your awesome luck or mock your newly created sickly character.

1. Using the GP die roller, roll 7x4d6, for each roll throw out the single lowest value. From the seven totals left, throw out the lowest total and assign the six values in anyway that you'd like.

2. If after step one your rolls are pretty miserable, feel free to use the standard array of 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8, and assign them anyway you'd like.

Thanks Qralloq. Appreciate you running this. Im thinking of doing a dwarf cleric maybe an initiate of the order of the gauntlet.

Rolls

Stats - (4d6, 4d6, 4d6, 4d6, 4d6, 4d6, 4d6)

4d6 : (3311) = 8

4d6 : (6145) = 16

4d6 : (3534) = 15

4d6 : (1531) = 10

4d6 : (1366) = 16

4d6 : (1641) = 12

4d6 : (2243) = 11

I'd like to play the classic entertainer bard. Now let's see what the rolls look like...

Rolls

1/7 - (4d6)

(3566) = 20

2/7 - (4d6)

(5423) = 14

3/7 - (4d6)

(6562) = 19

4/7 - (4d6)

(5516) = 17

5/7 - (4d6)

(1622) = 11

6/7 - (4d6)

(5643) = 18

7/7 - (4d6)

(3425) = 14

Jan 31, 2018 3:14 am
Okay, so that's: 17, 12, 17, 16, 15, and a 12... that'll do just fine.

Holy smokes, Naturax. What the hell, haha.

That's what you get for letting us roll stats! :)

Call it beginner's luck?

15, 13, 12, 14, 16, 14 not too shabby.
Jan 31, 2018 3:25 am
Sclasclemski, remember you can take the standard array as an alternative. Or the two 15s... choices.

Bigdogg1990 those are pretty great, too.
Jan 31, 2018 3:45 am
Yeah I think I may take the standard. It’s only one more total point but it’s more even. I may just be an uncharismatic, ie constantly grumpy, dwarven cleric of life.

Stats!

4d6 - ( 3, 4, 6) = 13

4d6 - ( 6, 5, 5 ) = 16

4d6 - ( 4, 4, 5 ) = 13

4d6 - ( 5, 5, 6 ) = 16

4d6 - ( 6, 5, 5 ) = 16

4d6 - ( 5, 6, 5 ) = 16

4d6 - ( 5, 6, 4 ) = 15

Not too shabby! And by that I mean HOT DAMN.

Review of Alyx, Human Wizard

Spell slots: To make it easier, add a feat that tracks spell slots like "Spell Slots lvl 1: 2/2" which you can edit and update as we go.

Spell levels: maybe edit the spell names to start with th spell level like " 0 Firebolt"

Familiar: not sure how you got a familiar. Point me to the reference?

Other than that, looks good and is approved.

Q- I usually track spell slots inside the notes block but if you prefer I can add a feat. Your game. Your call.
