[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 7277896, member: 813"] This is the Rogue's Gallery thread for JM's A Bit of Trouble. Links to: [thread="601348"]IC[/thread] [THREAD="597747"]OOC[/THREAD] [B]Character Creation:[/B] The story will start in a smallish town named Bit, which is why it is the center of the geography above. Bit's port only supports medium or smaller ships as the two piers are not long. There are many farms surrounding Bit. Most of the other civilized centers nearby consider Bit a backwater. And most of the farmers complain Bit is becoming too cosmopolitan. Bit is ruled by a four rich families as a sort of oligarchy. Most of the land close to Bit is owned by the four families and rented by the farmers. There are a dozen or so villages in the Bit area (that you are free to name if you want to come from one). [B]Abilities:[/B] Point buy, let's try 29 points, a little extra power might be good. But nothing above 15 before racial adjustments. [B]Races:[/B] I'd prefer half "normal" PHB races at a minimum. Maybe 1-2 outliers. I don't want a party menagerie. WotC published sources only unless I specifically clear it. [B]Classes:[/B] I'd like to stick to PHB for the classes but specialization paths/oaths/schools/etc can be any WotC published source, including Xanathar once I get my copy in the mail (we should not reach levels where this matters, aside from Clerics and Wizards, before it ships.) Warlock patrons can be good: good does not equal nice. [B]Backgrounds:[/B] I'm very flexible here. As long as you can get me a copy of it and the feature isn't ridiculous, I'll probably approve it. [B]Level:[/B] 1 [B]Advancement:[/B] Milestone [B]HP:[/B] Max the first 3 levels, average after that. [B]Alignment:[/B] Only Goodish alignments. No CN unless you are the one in one hundred player who can be CN without being a dick. I strongly disapprove of PvP in my games. [B]Multiclassing:[/B] I will not penalize ASIs based on class level as RAW dictates. But, I don't like dips. No class level can be less than 1/3 of any other class level.
