[sblock=Background]I will write this on Monday, after the rest of the party is selected. My hope is to forge a connection with one or two other characters.[/sblock]

Nice detailed backstory, thanks for the read.
[sblock=Alicia Tien Character Sheet Comments]
Looks pretty solid.
- It's probably the character sheet builder, but you would probably be using the finesse properties for both the rapier and dagger, which would result in a +6 to attack with each of them.[/sblock]

Thanks, FF.
It was not the sheet builder, it was me. I don’t know why I forgot the proficiency bonus. Fixed now.

It would be nice to play again with you. I would be more than happy to integrate some backstory connections between Alicia and Brue.

Thanks, perrinmiller. Everyone has put thought into their backstory so there should be ample opportunity to make connections.

[MENTION=6801397]Olrox17[/MENTION] Nice background, I appreciated that you incorporated some of the specific items of history into the character.

[sblock=Corilo's Character Sheet]
Everything looks pretty good to me.
- I'm rolling with Common being the universal language. Chondathans just speak it with a different accent. Feel free to choose a different language if you'd like.
- Just curious, I know you were taking the equipment granted the fighter, but are you planning primarily on longbow or crossbow?[/sblock]

Click to expand...

Ok, then I think I'll go with Halfling as a second language. Halflings seem to be common in Tethyr and as a commoner I might have had several dealings with them.

And Corilo is totally a crossbow guy! That's the first weapon he learned to use. He'll try to acquire both an heavy and a hand crossbow as soon as he can. Being an expert artisan and all, I see him as the kind of guy who constantly messes with his weapons, customizing them both for combat efficiency and good looks. Woodcarving prof should allow him to be good at engravings

[MENTION=15132]Steve Gorak[/MENTION]: Fun character, lot of different capabilities.
[sblock=Dorn Greycape Character Sheet]
Passive Perception should be 13
Skills: Perception should be +3
Skills: Just a note, you listed Persuasion as a background skill, but it doesn't appear on either the Sailor or Urchin list. It isn't a big deal since I don't really have much of a problem with custom backgrounds. You could just as easily say you chose Stealth or Sleight of Hand and replaced them with Persuasion since you have those from other sources.
Weapon Attacks: I go with the restrictive reading of the Archery Fighting Style. You get the +2 to attack when using the weapons listed in either the Simple Ranged Weapons or Martial Ranged Weapons tables on p. 149 of the PHB, which excludes the dagger.[/sblock]

Thanks for the feedback! ! was going for a character with RP options, instead than just raw power. He'll still be able to hold his own in combat though ;-)
I've updated my character sheet to reflect your comments, and will post the corrected version in the RG if my character is approved.
Thanks again and cheers,

I have a Wild Surge Sorcerer inbound for consideration. I should have him posted up today some time; I just have to tweak a few things and figure out how to do the whole formatting here!

You're better off doing a "reply with quote" and copy and paste a good looking character sheet. You'll figure it out easily enough.
That's where I started back in the day ;-)

[sblock=Background]Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Boddnock grew up believing that his was a life of privilege and oppulence. All the lesser people who were born without were nothing more than a burden on society, always looking to the rich for a handout. His father was a skilled pewterer, and it was always assumed that Boddynock would, at some point, grow up and join the family business. Until the accident, that is.

Because he was spoiled, Boddynock just thought that he was entitled to everything. Everything was his, if only for the specifics of someone else owning it. And he saw his father's works in the same light; it didn't matter if someone else paid for them, they were in HIS house, so they belonged to him. And so it was that he was meddling with some antiquity in his father's workshop when he caused a massive explosion that would have killed him were it not for the anti-magic shell generated in the blast.

When he came to, he was reprimanded. Hard. By both his father and the pewterer's guild. He shan't be messing with what belongs to other people, and if he covets what someone else owns then he should earn the money to purchase it for himself. The guild masters decided that the boy needed to be taught a hard lesson, and his father - wanting to keep his own good standing in the guild - agreed; Boddynock would be apprenticed to a craftsman in the guild, and he would be made to not only learn the craft, but provide restitution for not only the item he destroyed, but for all of the things in his father's workshop that were damaged.

The apprenticeship wasn't easy, and Boddynock's attitude certainly didn't help matters. It took a long time for him to realize that, in his new life, he now could no longer rely on having his father's backing to grant him luxury or expectation. He was now tasked with learning a trade, and paying for what he had done. And so slowly, over the years, he replaced expectation with waiting, anger with calm, bullishness with patience. He had transformed himself from a headstrong, irritating, impatient boy to a well-rounded, patient young man who just so happened to be a fine craftsman.

In order to be released from his apprenticeship, he needed to have paid off his debt in full. All items destroyed in the accident had to have been repaired, or coin paid for their repair by others, and the owners of those items fully informed and agreeing to release him. And it took many years. MANY years; well into his adult life he worked. But he did make restitution to all; his new craft taught him not only patience with himself, but patience in finishing a job.[/sblock]

^ Ha! [MENTION=11146]CanadienneBacon[/MENTION] is not going to be happy with that guy. LOL

Can't believe the first name. The horror.
