This thread is designed for your ability score rolls, and flushing out your character concepts for this Primeval adventure!

For ability score rolls, go ahead and roll 4d6 7 times, with each d6 drop the worst result, and then of the 7 scores, pick the 6 best.

Please use the Advanced button to add your dice rolls to the thread.

Can we order the scores however we want?

I've never done this before so I am kinda waiting for someone else to go first... >.

I will demonstrate how.

When you hit the Advanced button, go ahead and roll 4d6 7 times.

You do this on the Advanced posting page by adding 7 basic rolls to the post.

The description field is just for flavor. But the roll field needs to have "4d6" typed into it for each of the seven basic roll entries you added.

When you are ready, click the "post" button.

Rolls

Example dice rolling - (4d6)

(2212) = 7

Example dice rolling - (4d6)

(2561) = 14

Example dice rolling - (4d6)

(1442) = 11

Example dice rolling - (4d6)

(6652) = 19

Example dice rolling - (4d6)

(4641) = 15

Example dice rolling - (4d6)

(6416) = 17

Example dice rolling - (4d6)

My 7 results are 6 (7 - 1), 13 (14 - 1), 10 (11 - 1), 17 (19 - 2), 14 (15 - 1), 16 (17 - 1), and 7 (8 - 1). I would drop the 6, and keep the rest for my various abilities.

Sooo...

8, 14, 11, 14, 14, 11, 17, 14.... but drop the 8?
Aug 15, 2018 4:36 pm
You have an extra 14 in there, but yes, you drop the 8. So, your final numbers are:
14
11

Here are my character rolls.

Rolls

roll #1, roll #2, roll #3, roll #4, roll #5, roll #6, roll #7 - (4d6, 4d6, 4d6, 4d6, 4d6, 4d6, 4d6)

4d6 : (6424) = 16

4d6 : (6355) = 19

4d6 : (4644) = 18

4d6 : (3215) = 11

4d6 : (4562) = 17

4d6 : (4366) = 19

4d6 : (6425) = 17

That's some good rolls. Sounds like an Antantean. I'll see what I can come up with.
Aug 15, 2018 5:01 pm
That's exciting! Good job, Aldrusian! I'm excited for the character you drum up!
Aug 15, 2018 5:31 pm
Let's see what we are working with...
OOC:
I'm nervous. Me and digital rolling are not bed-fellows

4d6 drop the lowest - (4d6)

(2515) = 13

Looks pretty good to me! The primeval gods (or great old ones) are smiling upon you...

Whoops, thanks for pointing that out!

C'mon luck

Edit: so
4d6 - ( 4, 6, 3) = 13

4d6 - ( 2, 5, 3, ) = 10

4d6 - ( 2, 2, 4 ) = 8

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

4d6 - ( 2, 5, 6 ) = 13

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

4d6 - ( 3, 2, 4 ) = 9

Drop the 8 I guess. That's reasonably well rounded

Yeah, it’s not a bad number set, but not quite as lucky as these other guys.
Aug 16, 2018 1:06 pm
I think I'd like to play a wizard. I'm looking hard at the soothsayer narrative
Aug 16, 2018 2:23 pm
Sounds fun! A soothsaying Wizard.

Also, I’ll add some rules around changing narratives in game.
