Garrett was bornin Restwell Keep 20 years ago, and was but a small child when a Tiamat-based cult assaulted the Keep. While fleeing from the lizardmen besieging the keep, a young Garrett was saved from death by Merrick, another halfling who had been part of a group investigating the recent surge in cult activity.

Inspired by the fellow thief, Garrett began to train for the life of a rogue; learning how to be sneak around without being caught and where to really hit someone and make it hurt. Now grown, he has left the keep on the borderlands to seek his own path, and has met up with a small group of compatriots.

Grumi



A stout and short man, he resembles much the dwarfs which with he grew up and was raised by. As a baby, Grumi was abandoned, or his mother was killed and the baby was left to his fate. Luckily, a dwarf found him in his cradle; the baby was in bad shape, and lucky, as no wild animals had spotted or smelled him.
Miltak, so was named the dwarf wizard, took the baby with him, and raised him like his own son. Grumi learned from his adopted father the arts of the arcane, and decided to leave the remote place where his father lives, to see the world, since he only knew the caves where Miltak dwelt. Miltak tried to warn him of the the perils that were waiting in every corner of this corrupted world. But the human wonderlust was incompatible with the dwarven patience and precaution. Both father and son had their goodbye, and parted ways, with the promise that one day, they'll reunite.

Voda Vosa: Looks okay. Some questions regarding non-Essentials material included in Grumi's character sheet: Do you have more information with regard to the "Erupting Flare" spell and the "Arcane Whirlwind" spell? I don't have a subscription to D&D Insider, so I'll need to know what they do, and what sort of powers are they (at-will/encounter/daily, standard/move/minor, etc...) What do the feats "Immolate the Masses" and "Arcane Reserves" do? "Ritual Caster" is okay with me; I have the original PHB, so I might throw some ritual action your way.

Instead of "Arcane Implement Mastery: Staff of Defense", it should be either "Implement Focus: Staff" (for extra damage, p. 314 HotFL) or "Staff Expertise" (for increased attack bonus and the ability to avoid provoking opportunity attacks when using a staff to perform ranged or area attacks, p. 317 HotFL).

Also, I had wanted players to use the array 16, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10. This was purely arbitrary, though, so if you want to keep what you've already made, that's fine. Which means that the other players can readjust their characters' ability scores, if they wish.

Finally, is Grumi's alignment Lawful Good, Good, or Unaligned?

Implement Masteries are wizard class features from the original PHB. They receive them and ritualcasting in exchange for magical schools.

Will need a bit more time for my character , but it will be an unaligned Ranger (Hunter) Elf.

If I have to use the predetermined rolls:

FINAL ABILITY SCORES
STR 12, CON 13, DEX 18, INT 11, WIS 16, CHA 10

STARTING ABILITY SCORES
STR 12, CON 13, DEX 16, INT 11, WIS 14, CHA 10


If I may choose like VV:

FINAL ABILITY SCORES
STR 13, CON 14, DEX 18, INT 10, WIS 16, CHA 8

STARTING ABILITY SCORES
STR 13, CON 14, DEX 16, INT 10, WIS 14, CHA 8

I would much prefer the later

Wondering where the ambiguity on ability scores is coming from?
