Let's make a character together v2.0 - a 5e interactive game - take 2!

[Foxydono]

We made a new character together within 24 hours, that is a pretty good start! As promised, I will make a compilation of all the characters and post them in a separate post if we finish take 10.

Also, others are obviously free to start their own 'let's make a character together' thread once this one is completed.

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: STR score (using 15/14/13/12/10/8; scores that have already been used can’t be reused; apply racial bonuses)
#10: DEX score
#11: CON score
#12: INT score
#13: WIS and CHA scores
#14: 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.
#15: Class at 1st level, and any class-related choices (eg. known spells for Sorcerer, fighting style for fighter, etc)
#16: Class at 2nd level, and any class-related choices
#17: Class at 3rd level, and any class-related choices
#18: Class at 4th level, and any class-related choices
#19: Class at 5th level, and any class-related choices

#33: Class at 16th level, and any class-related choices
#34: Class at 17th level, and any class-related choices
#35: Class at 18th level, and any class-related choices
#36: Class at 19th level, and any class-related choices
#37: Class at 20th level, and any class-related choices
#38: Legendary Magical Item
#39: A bit of backstory (how the character got to the choices he made).

All choices must be legal. For this game, let's keep it to all official WotC material (no 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).

One last thing: Please start the post with #X. This to avoid confusion and so that everyone can see quickly at what number we are at. If we get 10 character I will post them online in a separate post so that they can be used by DM's or players if they wish.

#1 Lets start with the race: Air Genasi!

[Anonymouswizard]

#2 Alignment: Neutral Evil. I have a thing for evil protagonists, and it's the most flexible evil alignment.

[DeTess]

Hmm, related tot he element of air, so that would imply Chaotic. Let's make that Chaotic Good.

edit: ninja'd. As a background, how about guild Artisan, using the Guild Merchant alternate feature.

What language do you choose and are you going with the artisan's tools or navigator tools or an additional language?

[SkylarkR6]

#4 Personality trait: I’m full of witty aphorisms and have a proverb for every occasion.

[ShadowSandbag]

Ideal; All people deserve the freedom to choose their own path.

[DeTess]

Oops, missed that I had to specify that choice already. Definitely the additional language. as for which languages, that's something that's generally incredibly campaign dependent, but I'd definitely pick up Draconic, and either Elven or Dwarvish.

[KorvinStarmast]

#6: Bond I will get revenge on the evil forces that destroyed my place of business and ruined my livelihood.


(It would be cool if we can make a Paladin, Vengeance, out of this one).

[MxKit]

#7 - Flaw. I'm never satisfied with what I have—I always want more.

[Specter]

#8: Name: Ulias Greenflame, male

[Kuulvheysoon]

#9: STR score 14

(using 15/14/13/12/10/8; scores that have already been used can’t be reused; apply racial bonuses)

[lr-hr-rh]

#10

Dex Score: 9 (8 + 1[racial])

(using 15/14/13/12/10/8; scores that have already been used can’t be reused; apply racial bonuses)

I'm feeling a tempest cleric coming XD

[Foxydono]

#12 Intelligence Score: 10

[DarthPenance]

#13
Wis: 15
Cha: 13

[Foxhound438]

#15 Cleric 1, choosing tempest domain. Learn sacred flame, light, mending for cantrips.

[lr-hr-rh]

#16

Cleric 2. Super exciting :P

[clash]

#17 druid 1. Cantrips: shileglagh and produce flame

[ShadowSandbag]

#18 Druid 2, Circle of The Sheppard. That gets us Speech of The Woods and Spirit Totem

[SkylarkR6]

#19 Cleric 3 (hooray for second level spells!)

[Specter]

#20: Cleric 4
Feat: Observant (WIS is now 16)

[Vorpalchicken]

#17 druid 1. Cantrips: shileglagh and produce flame

Poor Ulias. His AC just plummeted from 18+ to a max of 12

Ooh ooh ooh #21 (should have been 20) Uncommon Item: Black Earth Plate Armor (from Princes of the Apocalypse)

Not sure of the rarity or how he'd get it but I figured it might be about the same as Adamantine Plate.

If not how about we just make Wooden Full Plate of Gleaming? Magic means it can't be destroyed easily and never gets dirty and gleaming is a common from xanathars. Figure full plate should be about uncommon. Can we get a ruling here? XD

[clash]

#22 cleric 5 for third level spells

[Foxydono]

#23: Cleric Level 6

[SkylarkR6]

#24 Druid Level 3 for healing spirit shenanigans

[Crgaston]

#25
Druid 4
ASI +2 Wis

[Personification]

#26: necklace of prayer beads, all of which are wind walking and summoning (only used for air elementals), because sometimes, you just have to stick to a theme.

[Vorpalchicken]

#27 Druid level 5. Finally he can conjure animals!

[Nidgit]

#29: Druid 6, Mighty Summons.

#28
Ranger level 1
Favorite Terrain
Favorite Enemy
(I don't think I forgot any features)
Wanna specify those favorites?

[SkylarkR6]

Ranger needs Dex of 13. We ain't got it

[Vorpalchicken]

#30 Cleric level 7. 4th level Cleric spells and 7th level slots (for triple strength animal summons perhaps)

[DarthPenance]

Ranger needs Dex of 13. We ain't got it

Ok just ignore the post about ranger then, I could swear it was Str or Dex 13, I'm sorry for all the trouble, didn't have a book with me at the time, I'll delete the posts.

[Vaz]

Proposing replace missing #28 with Fighter 1 (Defense Fighting Style).

[Specter]

#29 Fighter 2 - S U R G E

[Consensus]

#30 Cleric 8
cr 1 destroy undead
another 4th level spell slot
divine strike
EDIT: Warcaster

[SkylarkR6]

#32 (our numbers are off) Very Rare magic item: Frost Brand. We're now a cold wind blowing

[Vorpalchicken]

#34 (we're still off) Level 3 Fighter, Samurai Archetype

Should be Cleric 8, Druid 6, and Fighter 3 now

[Foxydono]

#35: Fighter level 4, mobile feat

[Vorpalchicken]

Perhaps his story ends here. Was his entire party turned to stone one by one because I chose a cool top knot hairdo over the ability to cast greater restoration?

[Crgaston]

#36. Cleric 9. We can’t neglect Destructive Wave or Insect Plague!

[Kuulvheysoon]

#37: Fighter 5 for Extra Attack

[MxKit]

#38. To continue to stick with a theme, let's give him a Ring of Air Elemental Command.

(The people who brought him up to Cleric 4 and Druid 4 didn't pick the cantrips for those levels, if they want to do that!)

[FreddyNoNose]

#7: Flaw: highly delusional and hears voices in his head. the voices tell self to believe self to be powerful with many abilities and skills all of which are not real. Someone tried to help him, a mad scientist wizard type, by giving him a ring of contrariness to counter the voices in his head.

[Foxydono]

#39 Background story:

Ulias was sold into slavery as a child. Unloved by his father who doesn't care for a human offspring and given away by his mother out of nescesity. He came to work in the mines of Mirabar. Especially for an air genasi, this was a living hell for him. Trapped underground with no place to go or to call home.

Wanting nothing more than to escape his faith. He secretly started to smuggle raw diamonds out of the mine for himself. Eventually, he was able to save and steal enough money to buy himself out of slavery. Although his owner was rather suspicious of how he got the money. He was able to convince them he got it from his father.

Once free he set up his own business. He wanted money and status so noone could ever turn on him again. By the age of 30 he made a fortune. He was a natural and ruthless salesmen and he almost always got the better end of the deal.

One day he was traveling north with hired guards down the snowy region a little north of Mirabar. He was going to make one of his biggest trades yet, selling tons of fur and gems. During this transaction, the sky suddenly turned dark and when ge looked up, there was a huge Ancient Red dragon named Klauth. He burned all the guards to crisp with one fiery breath and commanded Ulias and the other party hand over all their riches to him.

Facing such a old powerful creature, Ulias had no choice. He have up his possessions and had almost nothing left. On that day Ulias decided to venture into the world to become stronger. He dedicaded his life to become powerful enough to face Klauth again and get his revenge. Of course he also wants his riches back...and a little more of course, he is a businessmen after all!

I like it. So now we've had a bugbear Paladin/EK and an air genasi Cleric/Druid/Fighter. What's for round 3?
