Wait, did they change TWF for 5e so that rather than a non-light offhand weapon incurring an additional penalty you just straight-up can't use it? o.0
Yep. If I was DMing, I'd make use a feat to fix that. But that's just me.
I don't have the rules for feats, which are described in the basic PHB as optional in 5e. :( In 3.5, feats were of course mandatory...

If you're willing to take a sixth, I'll put a sheet up in a bit. Might work on one anyways just to get used to 5e.
I said in the OP that I'll be picking my four favorite sheets (probably one of each class or something), and that it's not first-come-first-served; of course you can put your sheet up!
I might add a fifth later on, just to see how things go.

Actually, that is the case. Sorry. Character in progress!
I can see it now, thanks. :)

Well hey, reading comprehension fail. I'm still trying to find a class I actually like in 5e, but the character of the character, so to speak, should come readily.

Funny how 10 days worth of travel rations is worth as much as my camel. Whoops disregard all of this.

So I was curious and did a bit of digging. As it turns out, there's a complete wiki for 5e akin to dndtools, including the material from the book you don't have.

I was wanting to play a monk, so here's a link to that page specifically. Sheet's about 75% complete.

Kind of have my Elf wizard made. Looking for places to stow all of my stuff. Need to give him a backstory, though.

Better buy a camel, they are only 50G.
How do you have that much money? Did you roll for starting cash or did you just get gear by the recommended kit? You can't do both.

Hmm...
I'm tempted to allow it, but there's the chance that the plug will be pulled on the wiki.

My first and main problem with that is inaccuracy; there's only 10 levels, why? Also, I just checked their entry for Fighter and compared it to the one in my free PDF, and I don't see anything called Expertise or Manuever in mine, but they're missing Second Wind, Action Surge, Martial Archetype, etc. I'm lead to believe that the wiki only has stuff from when the game was in development; yeah, the front page says "Welcome to the D&D 5th Edition Playtest Wiki.", emphasis meaning "outdated" by 1 year 3 months.

Sorry, but I'm going to say no to the monk.

Damn, yeah, didn't notice that. Had just finished writing, too. Meh, oh well.

Oh, right. Thanks for letting me know. Still need a place to put all my food, though.

I am not doing this correctly, aren't I? Plus, it looks like I am like twice as high as at least two of you guys.

Lessee.... We have two hobbit fighters and me, an elf wizard. No guarantees the OP is going to pick any of us, since he is just picking the characters he thinks best. Darknomad is supposedly coming up with his character soonish. Maybe you could be the cleric.

I am not doing this correctly, aren't I?
We can certainly help. You're the one who's building a wizard, right?

OK, let's start from the top. You pretty much have everything that matters already it's just a matter of figuring out some numbers based off of what you already have.
Fill in the player as "Pencil_Art" and the campaign as "Saving Sandiron".
You need a background. Your ideal of Beauty was taken from the Sage Background, so you likely want to be a Sage; your short backstory suggests "Sage (Researcher)". This goes in the top of your sheet. It also grants some starting equipment if you didn't roll for weath, and also grants some additional proficient skills (Arcana and History, which you already have; see below)
Alignment of Good is Good, but are you Lawful Good (LG), Neutral Good (NG) or Chaotic Good (CG)?
Wizards have 1d6 hit dice, and you have a +2 constitution modifier from having 14 CON (14-10=4, 4/2 = +2), so your starting max for first level HP is 8. Not sure where 20 came from, but it's where your current HP goes, max HP is just below that.
Your Stat mods are Str 0, Dex 0, Con 2, Int 2, wis 1, Cha 0. You currently have recorded Str 0, Dex 2, Con 0, Int 1, Wis 0, Cha 0.
Your skills; your background (assuming you picked Sage) gives the same ones you picked from the Wizard skill list, so pick two more from Insight, Investigation, Medicine, and Religion. Also, from being an elf you have proficiency in Perception.
The saving throws beside Intelligence and Wisdom should be checked off, from your wizard class. This makes your save numbers for them 4 and 3 respectively; the numbers for the rest of them are the same as your mod for them (Str 0 Dex 0 Con 2 Int 4 Wis 3 Cha 0)
Your speed is 30 feet for being an elf. This goes under Exploration, with Passive Perception, which for you is 13 (proficient at perception and a +1 wis mod means 10+2+1).
Under Features and Traits, instead of your backstory you need your class features, background feature (Researcher for Sage), and racial traits. Your backstory can be moved down to Other Notes. The text block should look like this:
Code: [Select]
Darkvision 60 ft (Racial)
Keen Senses (Racial)
Fey Ancestory (Racial)
Trance (Racial)
Bonus Cantrip (Racial)
Researcher (Background)
Spellcasting
Arcane Recovery
You should have a 4th cantrip known from your high-elf race.
Your casting ability is 14, Save DC is 12, spell attack bonus is +4

And that's it. You still need a description, personality, and other flavorful things down below those, oh and clothes you're currently naked, and I need to check your equipment later, but those are all the most important things.

I'm not sure how to finish this yet, so this is a WIP.

Yer proof image got too shrunk to read the numbers thar. :P
That said, the stats are OK anyways.
(Note to self, has 13 14 14 11 10 13 after human, so rolled 12 13 13 10 9 12)

I await the rest of your character.

Pencil_Art, I'm sorry but Dexterity is not a saving throw granted by the Wizard Class. And wisdom is. And you're still missing one proficient skill. Lastly, the Arcane Recovery feature should be mentioned in your Features and Traits section.
There's a few other minor things, but you should probably work on the last page now.

Actually, I rolled 13 14 14 11 10 13. I just didn't add bonuses yet.
