Adventures with Dungeons and Dragons: Sign Ups

Actually- And it SERIOUSLY BREAKS MY HEART to say this- but I don’t think I’ll have time for something as complex as a DnD rp.

I’m afraid I’ll have to drop my reserve.

I’m sorry to hear that, hopefully you aren’t too overworked at the moment. Your reserve has been dropped.

Can I reserve a female elemental?

added a few tags :slight_smile:

As far as I know, there aren’t playable elementals, but I can put you down for a female and we can talk about elemental-ness.

Sure. I got the idea for the elemental part of pintrest and the DND site

The closest thing I can think of without customizing something would probably be a dragonborn character (they get a breath attack and have different element options) and then a magical class in order to be able to cast more spells (probably centered on an element to stay on theme)

Dragonborn sounds cool. Can my female be a Dragonborn

sure! i’ll add that to your reserve. dragonborns can be associated with lightning, acid, fire, poison, and cold.

Lighting! :shocked:
awesome

Lightning is associated with bronze and blue dragons, if you wanted to do that. :zap:

Yes please :slight_smile:

What kind of stuff is needed in the backstory?

There are official backstories that give you specific new skills, equipment, etc, if you’re referring to those. There’s a set of them, but usually they’re just extensions of the abilities of a specific class. For instance, the criminal backstory extends rogue and offers proficiencies with deception, stealth, a gaming set, thieves tools, and some appropriately mysterious equipment.

There’s also a roleplaying backstory section, which can be as filled as you want it to be.

I dont know how to do the point system/scores, please help

So, we’re using a point-buy method for determining points within the game, since it lets you create a character that you want better than random numbers.

How Stats Work:
When rolling a die in D&D, you will be rolling with a bonus/detriment based on your stats. For instance, you might be asked to make a check against acrobatics in order to do something you will roll a D20 and then add your acrobatics modifier. At the most basic level, D&D works off of six base stats, which then work towards different goals. The modifier is determined by rounding the value of (score - 10)/2. Therefore, a score in charisma of 12 gives a bonus of +1 and a score of 8 has a modifier of -1.

How Point-Buy Works:
Each score (not modifier) between 8 and 15 is assigned a certain value, which is essentially the amount that it costs to get that stat. The combined value of cost of the scores of all six stats should equal 27 at the end. Imagine that you had $27 dollars to spend on your character’s stats. If you wanted to have a high strength stat, you could spend up to $9 to get that score as high as possible–15. Then you would have $18 dollars left for the rest of the stats. Since we have a high strength score, we might also want a high constitution score, but without ruining the rest of our stats. So, let’s say we spend $7 on the con stat to give it a score of 13. We then have $11 dollars left for the remaining four stats, which I’ll divide roughly evenly, to ~3 each. I’ll give scores of 11 (costing $3) to charisma, intelligence, and wisdom, and a score of 10 ($2) to dexterity.

I hope that helped!


I believe you were playing a bard, so I would recommend having your highest stat be charisma (since you use it for spellcasting and a few other bard-ish things) and then dexterity.
