View Full Version : Build a Character together - a 5E interactive game - take 4!

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

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.

#5: Ideal

Family. Blood runs thicker then water.

My first thought when seeing this ideal is some sort of mafia/mob member. And then I think of an Aarakocra mob member raised by wolves and just shudder with the way that sounds... :D

Correct me if I'm wrong, but have we just become a sharpshooting kung-fu druid assassin? I recommend amending Corvus Kakaw to 'Corvus Kakaw the Nature Ninja'.

#27 Monk 3

Way of Shadow archetype

(might as well at least get the better signature abilities from all these mostly random classes, too bad we won't be able to take monk to 6 or boost sneak attack very much further)

What self-respecting wolf wouldn't just eat a baby aarakocra?

Look at his personality trait...:smallbiggrin:
If you have, then, well, I was thinking of changing it to vultures instead of wolves, but decided to stick with the wolves just for the lolz.
Besides, strange things do happen even in real life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3Rq7km6yK4

An awakened one that was heavily impressed by the awakener with the idea that talking food isn't on the menu.

Of course, that's an unlikely leap to begin with, and the leap from there to raising said baby aarakocra...

Man, 5 classes and nothing more powerful than extra attack. Flop, if you ask me.
