[Orange Wizard]

Hey guys. I'm going to spend a bit of time figuring out what character I want to play (not because I need help or anything ) and post a sheet this evening.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

My posting times will be weird because I live on the other side of the world to most of you.

...

Edit: No, I most certainly did not get distracted and spend all of the time playing OpenTTD. My character will be up shortly.

[Orange Wizard]

Doubleposting to bump.

Here is Harold Phillips, an urchin who became a warlock at some point in his past. Let me know if something's missing.

[tompliss]

I don't see anything missing.
We just need USEC_OFFICER's character, and we're good to go

[BFEL]

I need a name and backstory for my Kamina-alike though.

RANDOM GENERATOR TIME

Oh god, this is so ridiculous but sums it all up so nicely: Screamredmourndawn

Lets see...his first name can just be "Red" and then maybe I could have him part of a...clan or something? The Screaming DawnMourners or somesuch? Any suggestions tompliss? I can't really see it being a noble family or somesuch...perhaps he came from a barbarian-ish tribe or something?

HELP ME LORE.

[Varee]

Dont worry II, My timezone is GMT+7 so i doubt my posting time will be any weirder than yours

[tompliss]

Ok, BFEL, let's say you're from the region where we will start : the kingdom of Damara.

It's at the north of the continent (Faerun), and while it's mostly like northern Europe as far as climate goes, with some nice mountains and mines.
(for the worried players in the back, we'll play in summer, and you'll be able to wear your fur bikini)

Damara is composed of duchies and baronies, with only a few cities and towns, and many small farming/fishing settlements and mining sites, and one of those may be were you come from. A barbarian camp, and mining village, or any other rural settlement that can provide a rough youth for you character.

About names, Damaran first names usually have a Russian sound (not saying Red won't really fit), and the last name can be pretty much what you want, and may depend more on what you can imagine be your ancestors and where you come from.

Your last name could be roughly how your clan saw you if you come from a barbarian-ish tribe (HowlingSword, DancingBlade, QuickTemper,... big sword, high charisma, and low wisdom are keys here) and let's not forget about the "son of this-one" if you're proud of your family.
On the other hand, if you're more from a mining/farming settlement, the job of your father, his father, and his father's father may take an important part of name and life. With the Folk Hero background, you're proficient with an artisan's tool (not mentioned in your sheet), so it could be really relevant as far as your character's concerned.

Ugh... This is a thing, isn't it? Sorry about that. Anyways, I'm thinking about going with... an elvish arcane trickster. That would work, wouldn't it? I don't have the PHB, so someone else would have to stat it up for me however. _{I still have no clue about personality and gender and junk, but one step at a time, right?}

Dammit, shame this went up when I was moving

[My Name is Immaterial]

Ugh... This is a thing, isn't it? Sorry about that. Anyways, I'm thinking about going with... an elvish arcane trickster. That would work, wouldn't it? I don't have the PHB, so someone else would have to stat it up for me however. _{I still have no clue about personality and gender and junk, but one step at a time, right?}

I can help after work. Sadly, work just started. I can't get back to my PHB till lunch (in three hours), and then only for half an hour. I'm pretty sure that the Arcane trickster's main stats are Dex and Int, so use the High elf. It's in the Basic Rules.

USEC_OFFICER, have you seen the Basic Rules?

[tompliss]

Currently reading the PHB to see what can be made.

High elf is a good choice indeed, but wood elves are nice too (you don't need really high Int, and Wisdom is always good because Insight and Perception are vital for a rogue).

[USEC_OFFICER]

Yes, I have definitely seen the basic rules. They were definitely basic however, so I'm not entirely certain how much I should be relying on them for making my character. Some better/more interesting choices might be hidden in the PHB after all.

[tompliss]

As far as background is concerned, here are some possibilities :
1) The all knowing librarian, always seeking new knowledge and books, and sometimes not acquiring them through legal means, but "protecting" them from external risks. Would use the "Sage" background and be a nice city-oriented high-elf, using Disguise Self rather than charisma on occasions where deception is needed.
2) The bardish one, wandering from city to city, with another disguise always ready for a new town and a new theft. Using the "entertainer" background to always find a place to perform and sleep, or at least make people think he stayed here for the night.
3) The ex-spy from a disapearing order of treasure-hunters, always knowing where to go to find information about what he bothers doing. Using the Spy variant of the "Criminal" background, and specialized in planning in advance how to enter anywhere.

Thoughts ?

[USEC_OFFICER]

Hmmm... Let's go with 1, I think. It sounds somewhat interesting, especially since low(ish) charisma characters are always fun. _{Or at least I think they can be.}

[sjm9876]

can I request a waitlist for a rock gnome eldritch knight? Sheet to come.

[tompliss]

You're in the waiting list !

and USEC, here is what I can propose to you : http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=32077
