Feel free to ask any character generation questions here!

From your campaign information, this seems like a political intrigue campaign. Should we make our characters to this assumption so that we don't end up making a character out of place and useless to the task (like a lizardfolk barbarian trying to infiltrate a noble party)?

While I try to make it that everyone has a lot of freedom with character creation, you are on point with that it is political intrigue. So when xrefting your character, keep that in mind - it’s also more roleplay heavy so you don’t have to worry about min/maxing or damage optimization as much. And I’ve seen a barbarian talk a dragon and stone giants out of attacking the party... I’m always open for creativeness!

-Is human variant alright?
-Is Xanathar's content alright?
-Are evil characters banned (as I feel like an evil character would have almost as much motive to hate the Forlorn's Guard as a good one)?

Edit: Nevermind, found the character generation info.

Evil characters are not banned, but if you do, please keep in mind why they may go along with a party that could have some who are good aligned. Party cohesion is important for enjoyment, too. But "good" and "evil" are also subjective in this world besides what we would consider morally obvious. It's all based on perspective, really.

I've not read/watched, so I can't answer that confidently. But yes, lots of politics going on.

Ok thanks. Any race is allowed right?

The bottom of the character building info has a list of allowed races. I'm not sure what a half-troll is, though. I can't find that anywhere.

I am looking at classes and I am trying to figure out what a party would look like for this game. I see that we have a bard and I was previously thinking warlock, but that is going a little charisma happy for the party.

Ah! That is a homebrew race in which I had played out with a party before. You can find it here:
Half-Troll Homebrew Race

That's fair. I will say while social skills are important in this game, I will be giving love to intelligence checks and wisdom checks too. Do what you'd like, if you really want a warlock, sure!

And Vorn, Brokenfocus is correct - character generation information is in another forum. If you wanted to use some type of race that isn't on the list, they'd be an immigrant and need a really good reason for going underground where gold is scant and times are harsh.

Okie thanks! I've been looking through the list and I think I shall make a Yuan-Ti pureblood, gender to be determined, though most likely female. She will probably be a ranger or a wizard/sorceror
Oct 10, 2018 9:51 am
Come to think of it, sorceror seems better cause of the charisma.
Oct 10, 2018 12:18 pm
I don't know. We're already pretty charisma heavy and i think a wizard's versatility could come in really useful.
Oct 10, 2018 12:28 pm
I'm now thinking a inquisitive rogue. Somebody good at discerning lies could be very useful and that would fit the role.

That way they could play sorcerer, but a knowledge character would be nice.

A good bruiser could also be of use but its not really necessary.
Oct 10, 2018 12:53 pm
I made my character public so you guys can look over it all you like.
Oct 10, 2018 12:54 pm
Hmmm... well my yuan-ti can be a rogue or a sorceror. I was thinking as a sorceror, she could be the shadow sorceror which allows some sneaky sneaky spells XD. If you guys wish for another class, I can change. I can make a male half orc barbarian/fighter or a half drow ranger.

It's totally up to you but i tend to go for increased party diversity so nobody gets overshadowed and everybody has their distinct ways to solve problems.
Oct 10, 2018 1:22 pm
Its ok. Wgich classes r there at the moment?
Oct 10, 2018 1:39 pm
I'm a bard, Nigoki has submitted a character that is thus far a mystery, Brokenfocus mentioned inquisitive rogue with some promise, and rest are undecided.
