Character Generation - Jabberwocky

Reserving this for my character.

I'm new to DnD but I am thinking of creating a Rock Gnome Sage Wizard. He is a professor of archaeology and has a particular interest in magical trinkets, tomes and talismans of ages past.

Think India Jones...but tiny and with magic...

Does this concept sound ok? Should I try sonething else?

The concept is pretty good. Make sure to flesh out a good background for your character as well as rolling your stats on this thread. 4d6 and drop the lowest

OK here are my 4D6 rolls

1. 16
2. 11
3. 14
4. 17
5. 11
6. 10

Rearranged below as:
STR = 11
DEX = 16
CON = 14
INT = 17
WIS = 11
CHA = 10

And my HP roll is below

Starting HP for your information is 6 for wizards + your constitution modifier. Since con 14 is +2 your starting hp is 8

Phew. I was sweating the 4HP there. Thabks for the help.

Are you allowing Feats and if so how do Feats work at starting level? I am interested in the Dungeon Delver Feat but am not sure if I can get this or not. It doesn't appear to have prerequisite's but I am not sure of the rules otherwise. Also, can you have more than one feat?

Also, I am interested in picking up a Cartography Set from Artisan's tools but not sure how to go about this either.

Ok, my character sheet is ready for review.

Let me know if there are any issues or if you have any advice.

For feats, usually theyre available once you reach a particular level when you're allowed an ability score increase. You can opt to take a feat in lieu of the ability score increase. Sometimes though, like with human variant, you can take one right off the bat.

Accepted your post and made a few amends below to your sheet if you dont mind

Your AC, when not wearing armor is 10 + your dex modifier (for you its 3)

Your initiative is just your dex modifier

Thanks for the advice and character editing. I will develop a bit more of an integrated background shortly
