Dungeons and Dragons: Character Creation Thread

Oh, sorry. I'm in another RP and thought I could use that one, allright then, let me make one.

Punker how old are you and do you have experience with RPGs and DND in particular?

Very well Darth, tho chance of you joining are slim

i don't have much DnD experience but i've played many rpgs and am 16.

I might join. Is there still place?

Is Lawful Neutral Cleric of Hextor possible? He would treat his Patron as good of Rulership more than Tyranny.

There is still room, in theory it is possible, but I would advise against it, the main part of where the game is set now are kingdoms who are very close to Heironeous.

Okay. How many magic users are there in the group?

I am also thinking about a wizard. Illusionst, Enchanter, Diviner or Necromancer. And is Wee Jas availible as a patron deity?

Or Cleric of Boccob who will multiclass as Wizard(later Mystic Theurge).

hmm I have to check but I think Trickster is the only one, sidewinder was gonna play one but haven't heard of him in ages.

Wee Jas is the patron deity of the Empire of Dul'Hanel (a human empire) the other humans and races don't believe in Wee Jas to exist.

Can we have self-made classes and/or races? I have some pretty awesome ones in storage just waiting to be used.

Before you say "no because we don't know the specifics about them", I'll post the races/classes specs before the character.

Sneak peek at the races: Nords, Others that are currently in progress

Sneak peek at classes: Sniper, Battlemage, others still in progress

Well PM what you want to play and then I'll see what I will and what I won't allow.

Tho I am very inclined to say No to self made classes, for two reasons:

A) almost every class already exists (or is just a variaty to another basic class)

B) Classes are delicately put together to TRY and keep it balanced. New selfmade classes could easily throw off this balance.

I've read the v3.0 DM guide. I know to keep it balanced. If I can manage to find the papers with the info on them, I'll PM the specs to you.

very well but the 3.0 classes don't add up to 3.5 classes in balancing. but you know a bit of the game so that's good

I'm waiting 😛

These are the specs for my sniper class (Fire helped me balance it out and he said I could use it).

As rogue except:
-6 skill points instead of 8
-Class skills: Balance (Dex), Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Disguise (Cha), Escape Artist (Dex), Forgery (Int), Gather Information (Cha), Hide (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Knowledge (local) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Perform (Cha), Profession (Wis), Search (Int), Sense Motive (Wis), Spot (Wis), Survival (Wis), Swim (Str), Tumble (Dex), and Use Rope (Dex).
-Proficiency gained with a special weapon called: Sniper’s Crossbow
(When using a Sniper’s Crossbow, a sniper may make sneak attacks from up to 120 feet away from his target. Damage:1d8 Crit:19-20/*2 Range Inc:80ft)
-At 3rd level, get Point Blank Shot; at 6th, Far Shot; at 10th, Precise Shot
-Sneak attack available only with ranged attacks (up to 30 ft, except with the Sniper’s Crossbow)
-Special Abilities only at levels 14, 17, and 20
-Evasion and Uncanny Dodge (like normal 3.5 Rogues)
-Sniper Specialization = as Weapon Specialization except, only with ranged weapons, and only at multiple range increments.
-Greater Sniper Specialization = as Greater Weapon Specialization except, only with ranged weapons, and only at multiple range increments.

Is it too late to join??

If not, can I be a dwarf monk?

yea all seems pretty ok

i dont have a LOT of dnd experience, but I've played almost all of the PC and x-box games, and I bought a couple of dnd books a few of years ago (epic handhook, equipment/arms handbook, players handbook) , but sold them eventually

well you will have to wait a while before you can use the epic books 😛

PC games are good because they explain a few of the base rules, but I like to think my games are a whole lot different from BDG and stuff/sh*t like that.

I've played through:

Baldurs Gate
Tales of the Sword Coast
Shadows of Amn
Throne of Baal
Icewind Dale
Heart of Winter
Temple of Elemental Evil
Pool of Radience
Dark Alliance.

I read through the epic book and the equipment/item book, as well as the Players handbook and the Deities/Demigods books. I also had a look through the sword&fist monk/fighter player book. But ive sold all of those books now, so i dont have access to them any more

np I have every book online, and prestige classes are still a long long time from here.
