Character Creation--5th Edition

Once you've been accepted into the game, you can create your character.

Characters will be built at 6th level. Steps for character creation are:

  1. Build a character at 1st level with normal starting equipment and post to your Character Sheet area. Roll attributes--roll two sets, rolling 4d6 and dropping the lowest d6. Pick the set that you like better. If neither turns out to your liking, you can use the point buy or array.
  2. PM the DM to review.
  3. Level them up to level 7 with no equipment.
  4. PM the DM to review.
  5. Equip them, including two Uncommon magic items.

Any WOTC source is acceptable, though you will have to adapt Eberron- or Faerun-based character ideas. Action points will definitely not be used.




If you like an idea from the Blackmoor game setting book, you can ask me to adapt it. I will be adapting a couple of the base classes in that setting--Arcane Warriors will be a Fighter build, Wokans will be a druid build, and Nobles will be a new class. If you want to play a Noble right away, let me know and we'll start adapting right away.

Character Sheet Option

If anyone has a good text-based character sheet they'd like to use as well, send to me and I'll post in this thread.

Here's one you can use with some HTML in it:
