Or maybe a better question, will you be coming up with character generation rules? Or just use standard stats and all that?

For some reason a raging halfling great weapon using barbarian sounds entertaining to me. But I don't want to hamstring the character.
I could easily play a paladin. Why am I stuck on a halfling. Great weapon Paladin? Sheesh.

Pande: Weapons have a property 'Heavy' which gives small characters Disadvantage when using them. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 47,993 Likes: 1 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 47,993 Likes: 1 | Thinking Dwarven (Hill Dwarf) cleric. Thinking Soldier background.

Though I suppose I could go finesse, with lighter weapons. Just doesn't have the punch I had hoped for.
Heh, Tiefling Paladin. Hmm that sounds entertaining but so many questions and have to wait till Friday evening before I can look stuff up.

They get a damage die boost when wielded 2-handed. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,963 Likes: 1 Moderator | | OP Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,963 Likes: 1 | Gypsy, Hint: I know you wanted a human rogue but there is a major advantage to playing a lightfoot halfling. They are small and can hide behind their own party members with a successful stealth roll. With that they can gain advantage and the "sneak" damage. See page 17 of the Basic Rules. | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,018 Likes: 10 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,018 Likes: 10 | Ok, you have convinced me. Halfing (likely Stout) Probably Battle Axe weilding, Paladin. Will know more, backgrounds and such when my PHB arrives on Friday. Not set in stone, but I will go Paladin if no one else wants it. The race and weapons still being sorted as I want to see the options within the framework of the game. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,129 Likes: 8 (Buffalo) Moderator |  (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,129 Likes: 8 | PC sheet submitted.

And BTW, the Zhentarim emerged as the "champions" of the Epic Corruption in Kryptgarden convention event.

I'll think on it.. depends on the background story I can come up with. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,489 Likes: 57 Wizop Administrator | | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,489 Likes: 57 | OK, going human Calashite female Thief, Zhentarim Faction, Sage background. Intending to play a 'tomb raider' type explorer, rather than a typical thief. Background is building nicely. How do I do stats - roll dice, use points.. ?

Want to know which Neptune is adopting or do we get the choice? | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,963 Likes: 1 Moderator | | OP Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,963 Likes: 1 | Gypsy, What MikeD said. You can also use the point-buy system. Distribute 27 points:
Score Cost
8 0
9 1
10 2
11 3
12 4
13 5
14 7
15 9
And my "rules" are 100% the Adventurer's League rules. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,129 Likes: 8 (Buffalo) Moderator | | (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,129 Likes: 8 | Gypsy - Best split for a human is probably:
15, 15, 13, 10, 9, 9 = 27 points. Then when you add the +1 to all stats a human gets you have 16, 16, 14, 11, 10, 10. | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,018 Likes: 10 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,018 Likes: 10 | Thanks for that calc Zeim. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,129 Likes: 8 (Buffalo) Moderator | | (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,129 Likes: 8 | Pande - NP. Other races have different splits because they get different stat bumps than humans do. | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,018 Likes: 10 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,018 Likes: 10 | Well I will be sure to ask when I have settled on a race. Which hopefully will be later today or tomorrow.
| | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,963 Likes: 1 Moderator | | OP Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,963 Likes: 1 | We'll go this through the weekend for PC setup and I'll probably be running 2 games unless someone else volunteers to run "virtual-table#2". I posted the following in the Message Gaming Center but I'll do it here too... If I play a character in a game and one of the players DM's we could do 2 parties of 5 (which is ideal) easily. We each get a PC and 2 people who play, also DM. Here's a role-call of players interested: - AJ
- Exeter
- Gypsy
- KenSeg
- MikeD
- Mina
- Neptune (DM)
- Nivek
- Pandemonium
- Zeim
