D&D 5E I just rolled my best stats ever! :)

[Particle_Man]

Now, I'll be really nervous

He is a Wizard. I placed the 15 in STR and the 17 in CHA.

What background? What skills do you have proficiencies in? With those stats I guess you are less worried about meelee combat than most wizards.

 

[Ashkelon]

I've been gaming for over thirty years and this takes the prize.

Using the 4d6 keep the three highest, I got 17, 17, 17, 17, 16, 14

He's human so he'll be starting with four 18s!!

Should've seen the faces at the table

The character I rolled was 13, 11, 10, 10, 9, 6.

That is...less fantastic.

I took the Folk Hero background. He's developed a reputation as someone good at everything, but you can't help but like him

I took Arcana and Insight from the Wizard class and he gets Animal Handling, Survival and Vehicles Land from Folk Hero which I like because I also took Tinker's Tools as a proficiency.

He travelled outlying villages as a Tinkers helper and began to develop a bit of magic like making toy soldiers march and salute

Looking at his traits, ideals, and flaws, it looks like he helped the common folk against a local tyrant and took a beating for it. Now he hates bullies and is convinced he has a destiny to make right many of the world's wrongs!

He carries an old sword because that's what heroes do.

What could possibly go wrong?

I propose that you NOW establish the backstory that the character is one of a set of triplets, and they are all genetically identical and like to do stuff together.

You are a genius, my friend!

Yes! A folk hero eldest of three siblings, setting out on a quest!
Success is guaranteed.

 

[Xodis]

You could make that Dwarven Wizard Legen.....DARY!!! With stats like that who needs to be an elf or human?

 

[Particle_Man]

What spells are in your spellbook?

 

[Tush Hog]

What spells are in your spellbook?

My cantrips:

Light - pretty handy for a Tinker
Prestidigitation - the spell that lets me bring the toy soldiers to life
Fire Bolt - it's dangerous traveling from town to town

Spellbook:

Charm person - likable fellow and learned to add a little "push" to his winning smile
Detect Magic and Identify - long hours of handling objects helped develop an instinct for recognizing value
Mage Armor - learned to wrap his "gift" about himself early on
Thunderwave - sometimes you need loud noises and a push to escape
Sleep - sometimes you need peace and quite to escape

He casts using a Component Pouch - He has spent his whole life handling little trinkets and being able to forge magical links and causing things to happen while touching them just comes natural to him.
