Is the historan feat allowed? https://media.wizards.com/2017/dnd/downloads/UA-SkillFeats.pdf

Otherwise here is most of Lyndis.

I figure as an archaeologist, she found the scale in one of the ruins she explored.

@Illven-- History feat looks good to me! I can live with it no problem

The sheet looks good so far. Note you do get to choose a trait listed in the build section as well as  the dragonmark gifts!

@bubby-- I am old enough to have practiced the 'walk' from Saturday Night Fever [let us see if you know what walk I mean ;) ]. As well as danced disco!

Name: Eirika Nesgar
Race: Half-Elf
Age: 28
Orientation: Bisexual
Class: Scout Rogue
Background: Guild Artisan

Backstory
Eirika Nesgar was once part of of a guild of cartogrophers in the country of Cyre. She had an eye for detail and measurements, and she was exeptional when it came to reading the lay of the land and translating it to paper... the problem with her profession was that there were not many buyers for her maps. The inexperienced ignored their profession and ended up getting killed, the experienced already knew the land as well as her maps, and even when they did get clients, most did not live long enough to refer others to their business.

So, Eirika resorted to different means to support herself: supplying forgeries for important documents, and providing vital blueprints for structures like castles and banks so that other thieves can steal from them. She was much better at her other business, but it wouldn't be long before she lost track of her connects to the guild and her responsibilities, and was caught making forgeries. She would have faced justice, if her trial wasn't set to start the same day the country was rocked by a mysterious explosion. She had only managed to survive thanks to a silver dragonscale that she got from one of the few rare clients she kept from her original business, a female human who brought back souvenirs from her travels.

It has been five years since then, and she has tried to take up cartography again and make an honest living, but she has fallen on hard times... She owes alot of money, and she needs it quickly before the debt collectors come after her...

At 2018-01-29 19:43:26, Eirika HP (uid: 56382) rolls: 4d8 Result: 15

This is an incredible idea. I'm feeling awful atm and can't really make up a character but if recruiting is open through this weekend I will do all I can to apply. I love 5e and this concept in particular seems really appealing to me.

Name: Meltania Nightigold
Race: Human (variant)
Age: 19
Orientation: Pansexual (quite literally)
Class: Cleric of Ollandra 2 (Trickster domain), Archfey Warlock 3
Background: Criminal

Backstory:Meltania was still a baby when she was travelling in a caravan with her parents through the roads when they were ambushed by a band of orcs, mercilessly killing everyone and taking all the valuables and the goods they just left the sole survivor, the baby, behind paying no attention to her and thinking either the wild beasts the hunger or the weather would certainly kill her and the would have been right if they had not rescued her. Taking her into the forest to protect someone who they believe didn't deserved to die on the roads or to be taken into the depths they raised her among their own. Who were these people who thought she was destined for better?, who were these people that were so kind as to take a complete stranger into their own and teach her their own ways?,  that was something Melly wouldn't know until she had grown up.

It would be when she was older that she realized that her those she called family were in fact fey, she was indeed deeply grateful and loved them and praised but she knew she couldn't stay with them forever and felt that she had to find her own wayso she decided to get ready and go find a way of her own although she wouldn't go on her own as Fifi, one of her 'sisters' would accompany her.

Without a clear route she wandered the lands for a while foraging to survive and it was like this that she found this curiosity, a silver dragon that she kept for good luck. It would be later when without knowing how or why she felt a booming sound on her head, one that made her lose her consciouness and one that would make the scale dissapear not without leaving mark imprinted on her skin that would grant her a few extra magical powers. Another lucky strike she simply thought not paying much more attention to that incident until she arrived to the city of the lost souls as Fifi called it, there would learn it was called dragon mark but not only that there would also learn more about the her own species, about the ways of the humans.

While Melly was playful and mischievous she was also quite naive as well and she really didn't know the world of the humans until then so she never really questioned being offered so many gifts, could she be any more fortunate? Granted that she had no money she kept and used everything that was given to her of course not knowing they were smuggled items, it was there too where knew about Ollara and given the large amount of lucky events she had gone through since she was a baby she became devoted to her. Meltania did made some good friends in Sharn, and some evil ones too, and learned quite many new abilities as well, in the streets, in the church and in the guild she was welcomed, skills that not everyone would consider truly licit but they were still fun to put to use so she did but with such friends and conections she had the inevitable had to happen. Someone had to pay for the things they did and no matter how beautiful she was Meltania was still used as a scapegoat only to be soon being wanted by the law, she was told she would be helped out of this but she wouldn't wait and managed to escape the rather short arm of the law. She would still frequent her friends but now she wanted to work on her own even when she got no coins on her purse but hey luck was on her side something good would soon appear before her.

Okay looking over the Character sheets presented so far.

@Illven--What did you use the 4th level ASI on? Please list so I can keep track. What extra trait from the character build section did you pick? Please note it so I can find it? Same with the Dragonmark. What cantrip and spell did you choose to be linked to it? Get me a background up so I can see it please! So far it looks good.

@DomJoe--What extra trait did your character get? I like to keep track so I can see if things are overpowered with my build section. Also check your Hit points I added a section on hit points.  I like that Elrika is from Cyre and needs cash ...fast. I am sure you know that Sharn has a district for Cyre refugees. That could be good or bad depending on whom is there and can offer an fun hook. Also being a forger is handy as well as the guild membership. That guild is linked to House Sivis. So should the need arise note your character has a maybe contact with the House through your Guild Membership. [we will work out any details should it arise]

@Kathyan--I see the Dragonmark listed can you show which cantrip you took with it please? How did you get your AC? Leather and dex would equal 13. Mage armor and dex would equal 15?
Also let's break up the spellcasting section since you have warlock slots and cleric slots and unlike other mutli-class they stay separate, warlocks can be fun. Also if I remember right from the PHB you can cast your cleric spells using a warlock slot and warlock spells using a cleric slot which can be nice but also complicated. Melly being very naive can be fun but she may have to grow up fast ;)





Some questions, missed stuff and musings.
First off I am pleasingly surprised not to see 20s floating around. I knew it was possible with the ability scores I gave and the level being 5th. Heck I haven't seen any 18s even.

So tell me does the way I set up the character build section make too powerful a character?

In my opinion the point build and the array offered in the PHB seems to force you to make a less then heroic character and then they try to make it better with the ASI. The thing to me is that 5e is balanced when it comes to upward power creep or at least has a better balance then most systems. I also gave the good ability scores becuase I think feats help to define and empower a character and by not needing to spend the ASI to improve an ability as badly I feel it allows some interesting builds.

One thing I would like noted somewhere is the ons/offs of the character.





This is the format I would like used for the game...a character sheet is great as well for more detail etc but I want to have this as a header for each post. makes it far easier for me to keep track of things without numerous sheets open

Kathyan

Oh yeah, maybe I should asked first but I switched my crossbow and bolts for a shield, that's where the extra +2 comes from, and for cantrip I took prestigitation.
And yeah I can cast cleric spells with warlock slots and warlock spells with cleric slots that's why I didn't separate them but I can if you want, as it currently is the slots marked with an asterisk are the ones from warlock as I don't have 2nd cleric slot.

Oh and the header looks great too. :)

Also a 20 wasn't possible as I see it, only a 19 tops but that doesn't matter as I prefer a feat although I only get my human feat so far :P
I don't think that makes our characters too powerful but it does gives us no clear weaknesses, also what is ASI?

I'll also update her with her ons and offs soon

My character took the extra skill proficiency as her bonus racial trait. Since I already rolled, I kinda have to keep my HP rolls, unless you are allowing me to forgo those for average +1 HP? If so, I'll take it. I'm glad that my character is giving you ideas for plotting!

And about your ability score array... getting a 20 doesn't seem possible. You either have a +1 or a +2 going into your 15 score, which bumps that up to a 16 or 17. If you want it higher, you're either using the ASI to get an 18 or 19, or you are grabbing a feat with a +1 increase for a 17 or 18. Variant Human throws the +1 into 15 and can get a feat with another +1, but that gets them up to 17, and you're still off even if you give yourself a +2 ASI.

If we were playing at level 6, a Fighter would be the only class able to pull it off.

Illven

ASI is now explained on the sheet. As well as the bonus trait, Lyndis selected, and the powers of her dragonmark.

Kathyan

Oh I forgot to mention that too, I took the extra tool trait for proficiency with a forgery kit and also spent the coins from my background to get one, although she is supposed to have received it as a present so she actually never had any money of her own and people paid for or gave her things for free or maybe she paid it in other ways :P so she doesn't have a single coin to start of. ^^

I just took a glance at Xanathar's book again for ideas on common magic items and got to love these two for my character:

BOOTS OF FALSE TRACKS
Wondrous item, common
Only humanoids can wear these boots. While wearing the boots, you can choose to have them leave tracks like those of another kind of humanoid of your size.

CHARLATAN’S DIE
Wondrous item. common (requires attunement)
Whenever you roll this six-sided die, you can control which number it rolls.
