Horde of the Dragon Queen - OOC

[Vergil1989]

I'm not able to get to my sheet from here, but my own background, if anyone's curious, is that Neria's an orphan no thanks to a bunch of orcs that ran through her people's camp, killing or enslaving everyone they could find.  She survived because her mother hid her away in a hollowed out log, where she was found by a cleric and his group not long after.  After he was able to coax her out, after killing off the orcs that remained of course, Neria would follow in his footsteps, helping people in whatever way she can.  Despite the deep emotional scars that remain which manifests as a burning hatred against most orcs and to a lesser extent half orcs, she's normally a very empathetic person to most everyone she comes into contact with.  There's a significantly longer version of this, but that's the summed up version.

Sounds like the Outlander background on page 128 of the core book. 

You gain these proficiencies: 

Skill Proficiencies: Athletics, Survival
Tool Proficiencies: One type o f musical instrument
Languages: One o f your choice

Some equipment: 
Equipment: A staff, a hunting trap, a trophy from an animal you killed, a set of traveler’s clothes, and a belt pouch containing 10 gp

And a feature: 
F e a t u r e : W a n d e r e r
You have an excellent memory for maps and geography, and you can always recall the general layout o f terrain, settlements, and other features around you. In addition, you can find food and fresh water for yourself and up to five other people each day, provided that the land offers berries, small game, water, and so forth.

Looks like I have some equipment to change as well. lol

  Verrgil, maybe the Hermit background? 

  Do you need the information for it? 

[Vergil1989]

Hermit calls to mind someone who's never in a civilized settlement, or someone who lives out in the woods really, which granted that used to be the case...hmm.  I'll take a look tomorrow when I'm able, but for now yeah, I'll see what you have for Hermit.  Thanks Muse.  :D

[Muse]

   While in this case, I think it's more a close aproximation to what your charac ter went throuhg than a perfect match, the background more represetns someone who's spent time in a monsestary or convent, seculded from the world to get an education and contempatle their spirtuatlity.  It includes--IIRC--proficiency in the skills Medecine and Religion.

[Vergil1989]

True, I'll give you that.  So on top of the class skills I also get a couple background ones?  Cool if that's the case.  ;D  I actually think I remember that being the case the first time I went through this with her.  In this case, it's more she stuck with the man until he got too old to travel, and eventually passed away from natural causes not long after.  He became a surrogate father to her, but my point remains, she was, in a way, still cut off from society, just she was outside instead of locked in a convent.  So huh, fits better than I thought, thanks Muse!  So yeah, Hermit sounds good after all.

[persephone325]

OK. Pretty sure I'm close to being done, if not there already.

I'm hoping it'll be OK for her to keep her bow and arrows. I can say she made them herself, if possible.

I will be running Horde of the Dragon Queen.  This is primarily for newer players to learn the system and there are a few people interested.  Feel free to post your character concepts here and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.  I do ask that questions here are connected to the campaign itself as we do have individuals looking to learn this system.  Please post when applying if you are new to the system or if you are experienced.

Thank you.

Is there somewhere I can read up on the basic story/setting/details for this RPG?  This first post seems like its building off of a previous thread somewhere...

I'm pretty sure your dexterity should be sixteen?

  Daril, in the GMs wanted thread, Lyku agreed to run a game for some new players who were wanting to learn.  When he got the group together, Lyku put the OOC here instead of in one of the Small Group Game threads, which confused people into thinking Lyku was looking for plaeyrs.

Wait, my bad! 

You put your 12 in dexterity and yoru fourteen in constiution.  Sorry Persephone.

No worries. But everything looks good? I did it right?

[Vergil1989]

I'll try to get the rest of my sheet sorted out once I'm able to get to a computer, but do all the numbers thus far seem alright Muse?  And I can't figure out why my damn sheet doesn't have a space for spells and stuff, especially since it's a 5e sheet, it SHOULD be there unless I'm missing something obvious.

You need to check the option that says "Caster". It's right underneath where you put your class.

I have edited my sheet.

I'm at a bit of a loss what else to add to my sheet :)

So you have all the core decisions made, which is good. Look through the basic rules for the backgrounds and choose one of those that you feel best fits your character. Jot down the skills, items and other thing it gives you. Next go to the class section and look for "rogue". Here choose the skills you want your character to have, choose from the equipment offered, and write down the features of the class you get at lv 1, such Sneak Attack and Expertise.

[Dashenka]

Can't you come up with your own background story?

[ZameRagues]

Backgrounds in 5E are a way to get things for your character based on the backstory you want to make. They are no means the backstory as a whole, the story itself is yours to create. Lets say your character as a child was abandoned and raised in an orphanage. Growing up ylu didnt get along with the other kids and got kicked out so you had to steal to survive. You could pick the Criminal background. They are a way to either summarize the character's history in one word or summarize a part of the history. You can do it either way, pick one and write why, or write your history and choose the best fit.

[Dashenka]

Hmm okay. I'll have a look at the books then :)

[Dashenka]

OKay updated again.

Think I need some help with the weapons...

[Lyku]

Dashenka.  As a rogue, you also need to pick 4 skills to be proficient in on top of the 2 you got with your background.

Pick Four from:
Acrobatics
Athletics
Deception
Insight
Intimidation
Investigation
Perception
Performance


With expertise... you need to pick 2 skills you are already proficient with and mark it down, as those two will add your proficiency modifier twice.  (So if you picked stealth for example, which you have +3 bonus from Dexterity and +2 from Proficiency for a total of 5, you would add the proficiency again for a total of +7)

[Dashenka]

Like this?

[Vergil1989]

You need to check the option that says "Caster". It's right underneath where you put your class.

...........And this is why you don't multitask at such a late hour lol.  I'm still not able to get to a computer just yet, but thank you for that Persephone.

[Lyku]

What is your other skill for expertise.  I saw you chose stealth as one.  I'd recommend perception or investigation (Though, I think you didn't choose investigation).  I honestly would recommend being trained with one of the two for the sake of detecting traps and ambushes.

Your initiative modifier is your dexterity modifier.  Other feats and abilities can increase it, but for now, it looks like it is only your Dexterity, so +3.

For Hit points, your hit dice is 1d8.  At 1st level, you get max hit points.  So it would be 8 (Max roll on a 1d8) + Your con modifier (+2) - So your hit points are 10. 

For all players... new and experienced... one thing I noticed and I do actually do is support a difference between Passive Perception and Passive Investigation.  Perception will allow you to perceive other individuals, such as those who are hiding while Investigation will be how one might detect traps and secret doors.
