After the success of the first two iterations of this game, let's try and build a 5E character together ... again!

Please pay attention to the list below, as some of the options have changed. Particularly, step #8 was added.

Poster #1 will choose Race, and any sub-race if applicable.
#2: Alignment
#3: Background, and alternate background feature, if applicable.
#4: Personality Trait
#5: Ideal
#6: Bond
#7: Flaw
#8: Name and gender
#9: Ability score assignment - use the 15/14/13/12/10/8 array, apply racial bonuses
#10: Racial choices (eg. if race is Variant Human, choose feat, if race is Half-Elf chose bonus skills, if High Elf choose a Cantrip, etc); if race doesn't allow optional choices, skip this step.
#11: Class at 1st level, and any class-related choices (eg. known spells for Sorcerer, fighting style for fighter, etc)
#12: Class at 2nd level, and any class-related choices
...
#30: Class at 20th level, and any class-related choices

All choices must be legal. For this game, let's keep it to all official WotC material except UA. Traits, Ideals, Bonds and Flaws can be made up, using PHB guidelines. You may not have an Ideal that's opposed to your Alignment.


The three-post rule applies (don't post unless at least 3 people posted since your previous post)

Let me start.

With this move, both wizard and rogue are utterly locked out. We're safe from yet another wizard wannabe.


EDIT:
Erm, right... athletics and persuasion.

Yet another pointless bladelock graft.

Darkness & Command are Oathbreaker Paladin Spells, no reason to waste Lock Spells on them.

Instead of Darkness, Invisibility
Instead of Command, Arms of Hadar

#22 Paladin 9

this could have gone either way for 3rd level spell slots, but being 4 levels behind on the whole "get IDS" plan, while simultaneously being past the "do not pass unless you want IDS" line makes paladin the choice for me.

If we take but a few more of these levels, there is some very tasty metamagic coming up.(I'm looking at you extend and quicken spell.)

Sorcerer 2, just one more level and we can get quicken spell! But now it's just Font of Magic.
