Character Creation

[wolfpack]

Lets try something a little different

roll 3d6 12 times, take the highest 6 rolls place in any order. Every character must have at least two 15's. If you do not get 2 15's bump up your highest rolls to 15.

starting at 1st level, max HP. roll for starting gold.

races and classes from players handbook minus assassin. No evil alignments.

oh boy stat rolls how many ways can i get a 10 shall I count the ways?
Stats [1d6] = 4 [1d6] = 5 [1d6] = 1 = 10
Stats [1d6] = 2 [1d6] = 3 [1d6] = 5 = 10
Stats [1d6] = 4 [1d6] = 5 [1d6] = 1 = 10
Stats [1d6] = 6 [1d6] = 1 [1d6] = 3 = 10
Stats [1d6] = 5 [1d6] = 6 [1d6] = 2
Stats [1d6] = 2 [1d6] = 3 [1d6] = 4
Stats [1d6] = 3 [1d6] = 4 [1d6] = 4
Stats [1d6] = 2 [1d6] = 3 [1d6] = 5 = 10
Stats [1d6] = 1 [1d6] = 2 [1d6] = 4
Stats [1d6] = 6 [1d6] = 1 [1d6] = 3 = 10
Stats [1d6] = 5 [1d6] = 4 [1d6] = 5
Stats [1d6] = 4 [1d6] = 5 [1d6] = 5

[3d6] = 10,[3d6] = 9,[3d6] = 7,[3d6] = 8,[3d6] = 11,[3d6] = 11
[3d6] = 10,[3d6] = 12,[3d6] = 9,[3d6] = 6,[3d6] = 14,[3d6] = 8

Looks like:
14, 12, 11, 11, 10, 10

After bumping:
15, 15, 11, 11, 10, 10

Starting loot:
Starting money: [3d6] = 10

100gp

[3d6] = 10,[3d6] = 9,[3d6] = 7,[3d6] = 8,[3d6] = 11,[3d6] = 11
[3d6] = 10,[3d6] = 12,[3d6] = 9,[3d6] = 6,[3d6] = 14,[3d6] = 8

Looks like:
14, 12, 11, 11, 10, 10

After bumping:
15, 15, 11, 11, 10, 10

Tavaris


[3d6] = 13,[3d6] = 12,[3d6] = 16,[3d6] = 11,[3d6] = 8,[3d6] = 10
[3d6] = 10,[3d6] = 9,[3d6] = 6,[3d6] = 12,[3d6] = 8,[3d6] = 11


gives 16, 13, 12, 12,11, 11
bump 16, 15, 12, 12, 11, 11

I'll figure out what Tavaris is this PM.

With a wisdom of 15, a cleric gets two extra 1st level spells at level one, correct? I am reading the bonus as additive from the PHB.

that is correct

[rredmond]

Those bonus spells rock for Clerics.

Stats: STR:10, INT:15, WIS:13, DEX:12, CON:8, CHR:11
Stats: STR:10, INT:15, WIS:14, DEX:9, CON:16, CHR:7
Stats: STR:13, INT:12, WIS:16, DEX:13, CON:4, CHR:10

Best: 16,16,15,15,14,13

Thinking just an average fighter.

The plan is that this is a one-shot right? do we get too involved in the background and equipment/etc?

[rredmond]

I think there’s a ranger in there. For the 16 HPs

well this is a trail run, so it could go beyond a one shot if people like it. dont have to get to involved with background yet though

Agreed, I think mages should get similar for high intelligence. I know they shine bright at high levels but at low level mages can be rough.

would be great ranger stats i agree

How do you deal with multi-class Magic-Users? Are they limited to "no armor", "no metal", or "other class' limit"? I've seen them played all those ways.
Looking at elven T/M or F/T/M. Was considering throwing C into the mix, but we already have 2 of those.

per 1e players handbook

f/m can wear metal armor only elf and 1/2 elf can be magic users, level limits per phb.

in the OOC thread I posted the table for what race can be what class and level limits

[wolfpack]

any t/class can only wear leather if they want to use thief ability per phb

[redwarrior]

Thanks. I was reading under elves, not under multi-class. I remember when I just KNEW all the rules, but that was over 3 decades ago.

[GreyWolfVT]

Wolfpack did you have a specific set of deities for this? Or is any deity open?

[wolfpack]

Same world as my other game so same deities.

dwarves would worship Hephaestus (dwarves are know as grombeard dwarves not mountain or hill) one of your weapons has to be a hammer

Coincidentally Hammer is one of the 2 weapons i selected.
