Lets make a character together - a 5e interactive game - take 11

[Foxydono]

Let's try and build a 5E character together ... with a twist!
** Only Unearthed Arcana classes are allowed **

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 INCLUDING 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:

Revenant Human +1 con
(ability score increase and relentless nature can be chosen by #10)

http://www.adnd3egame.com/documents/UA%20Gothic%20Characters.pdf

[Vorpalchicken]

Alignment: Lawful Good

[Mongobear]

Background - Knight of the Order

I'll let the #10 Spot select which Order the character belongs to.

Also, am I reading the Revenant Human right in that they get +1 to Con AND +1 to Any two Ability Scores? Meaning if you wanted to could do +2 to Con?

[Specter]

Personality Trait - I won't speak to anyone without saying my name first.

[mr_odd]

Ideal - Beauty can only be found in the laws of nature.

[lunaticfringe]

Bond: I will do anything to prove myself superior to my hated rival.

[Vorpalchicken]

Flaw: My hatred of my enemies is blind and unreasoning.

[Mitth'raw'nuruo]

#8

Gaius Julius Caesar, Male

[Specter]

ST8, DX16, CO14, IN10, WI14, CH13

[Vorpalchicken]

Revised Ranger 1:
Favored Enemy: Humanoids

[Mongobear]

#10 Racial Options

Character Goal (for Relentless Nature)

You are the last in a long line of Warriors who practiced a unique fighting style. Your older brother betrayed your entire clan to your sworn enemies, and allowed them entry to your sacred homeland, where they slaughtered you all to a man, including your traitorous brother. Your goal is to track down every member of the Rival clan and kill them, just as they killed you.

Wait, beast master isn't a choice for the UA revised ranger, right?

Close Quarters Shooter
You are trained in making ranged attacks at close quarters. When making a ranged attack while you are within 5 feet of a hostile creature, you do not have disadvantage on the attack roll. Your ranged attacks ignore half cover and three-quarters cover against targets within 30 feet of you. Finally, you have a +1 bonus to attack rolls on ranged attacks.

What kind of weapons would the crab be holding? Would have been way more logical if we got an Ape.

Edit: didn't see the YouTube movie yet. Get it now. Roleplaying wise I'm not sure the crab is intelligent enough to handle a weapon. But since it's more for flavor I do think it's pretty funny. One restriction though, must be a simple one-handed weapon, since he needs a claw for grappling.

[Bruno Carvalho]

Moving on...

Fighter 2. 'cause Action surge.

Why did someone grab Fighter 5? lol We already had Extra Attack.

[Vorpalchicken]

Revised Beastmaster doesn't get extra Attack.

[Foxhound438]

crab should be 14 str, 10 wis, and should have a total of 20 hit dice (again, class doesn't matter for this version of BM, it keys off of character level)

Not so. If it's in the class description, it uses class level.

[Mitth'raw'nuruo]

Clawdius was the far better name.

[Foxhound438]

Not so. If it's in the class description, it uses class level.

citation needed?

citation needed?
MC chapter, warlock invocations. Name me one class feature that uses character level.


I'm returning your citation needed, your move.

Warlock invocations are limited to warlock levels due to the errata.

The reason the new ranger's beast companion feature says increase its HP whenever you gain a level, rather than exclusively a ranger level, is to make it so the beast companion can survive into later levels if you did multiclass. Every other class feature specifies levels in that class, ie. Lay on Hands, Second Wind, etc.
