Hi, In order to establish a standard for character creation and progression, we'll be moving to the standard for most games these days, DnDBeyond. I've created a campaign there and we'll use that. Note that I didn't pay for any books beyond the standard, but if you own a book you can use it. When we progress to the next level, let's get all of the characters together there. You can create a free account if you want. It offers limited but sufficient usage.
So we need to go and recreate the pcs from scratch and then level them up and select spells, feats, etc? I suppose they can't just be imported from Roll20?
Yes and no. The idea is to have all PCs in one place using the same set of rules. All the characters need to be reentered, not recreated. That should be relatively easy and it's for when you level up. You're months from that point.
This has to do with new PCs. New characters shouldn't enter the game supercharged, without the constraints that existing characters have on them.
Cool site, I will add in his spells. Ty for getting him started!
I note I can't add Fly as it isn't part of the Bard spell list. I think he has access to it due to his additional learning. I vaguely remember that. So if you can add it great, if not...
Same deal for Phantasmal Killer, though I thought that was part of his regular list. Maybe things have changed?

In character creation there are some options before step 1. Use these configurations:
Character Preferences Sources– Do not enable alternate sources Partnered Content – Do not enable Partnered Content Dice Rolling - Enable Optional Features - Do not enable optional features Advancement Type Milestone Hit Point Type - Fixed Use Prerequisites – Enable both Feats and Multiclass requirements Show Level-Scaled Spells - Enable Encumbrance Type – Use the standard encumbrance rules Ignore Coin Weight – Do not enable Ability Score/Modifier Display – Modifiers top Character Privacy - Public
Yeah. I have never played in a game where the DM counted coins against encumbrance. I guess we'll be spending lots of time at money changers buying jewelry. Where is our party's Bag of Holding now?
LOL. Mailes, see what trouble I cause! Actually, the party, on a whole, is really rich because of the Lost Mines. What you carry on your person is the question. The nearest place you are likely to find a jeweler is in Everlund, which is your next big town destination.
Just a note. You all have months to do this. You are NOT going up to 7th level yet. It was put here because Mailes is going to add a character to the game at some point that is not an ogre.
There's a thought process whereby this party splits in two temporarily (we could have 10 pc's which is actually optimal). Unlike when we started Lost Mines of Phandelver, in this case there would be two parties on separate paths (LMP began with two parallel groups). There's actually some direction as to how exactly the split would work and story-related justification. You wouldn't be leveling to 8th for a while now. You just got to 7th after Yartar and you needed to accomplish a lot to achieve that level.
Well, I'm not gonna lie--- it was a bit of a faff logging into D&D Beyond. If you have an old, pre-Wizards takeover account, you have to contact tech support to get it reinstated. Tbh I just created a new account.
Having done that, the character generator was decent. I selected the Triton race from Volo's rather than the latest version from Mordenkeinen's, since that's what Arus originally used.
And it turns out I had a Wisdom skill I shouldn't have, but my Wis should be 12 not 10! Win!! (I used the standard array as normal.)
Created an account and tried creating my character, but must be doing something wrong as I can't select my druid circle of the moon. It only gives me circle of the land types.
I'll try creating a druid later, see if I can help you Dugan.
OK, it worked fine for me and I could choose Circle of the Moon in the same dropdown as Circle of Land. So as Nept said, I think you need to create a character in the STK campaign specifically, so you get access to all of Nep's premium content.
Bulletproof way of the doing that:
Login to D&D Beyond
Hover over account name in the upper right
Select "Campaigns" from the dropdown
See STK, click "View Campaign" under it
Now scroll down a bit and click "Create Unassigned Character"
