Gideon was an 11th-level fighter when last I left him.Way back then, we didn’t put much (if any) effort into a character’s background, and a character’s personality was generally developed as we went along. As you can probably tell, the DM was a bit, ah... liberal... with his choices in treasure (yes, that’s a shotgun in there), but, hey, we were 12 and we were having fun. But whatever, let’s update Gideon to the 2024 edition of Dungeons & Dragons:<h3>Gideon '24</h3> <table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>Ability </td><td>Score </td><td>Normal Modifier </td><td>Saving Throw </td></tr><tr><td>Str </td><td>16 </td><td>+3 </td><td>+5 </td></tr><tr><td>Dex </td><td>9 </td><td>−1 </td><td>−1 </td></tr><tr><td>Con </td><td>12 </td><td>+1 </td><td>+3 </td></tr><tr><td>Int </td><td>13 </td><td>+1 </td><td>+1 </td></tr><tr><td>Wis </td><td>13 </td><td>+1 </td><td>+1 </td></tr><tr><td>Cha </td><td>10 </td><td>+0 </td><td>+0 </td></tr></table>Class: Fighter (Level 1)Primary Ability: StrengthHit Point Die: D10 (13 hp)Saving Throw Proficiencies: Strength (+5) and Constitution (+3)Skill Proficiencies: Athletics (+5) and Intimidation (+2)Weapon Proficiencies: Simple and Martial weaponsArmor Training: Light, Medium, and Heavy armor and ShieldsEquipment: Chain Mail (AC 15), Greatsword (2d6 Slashing; Heavy, Two-Handed; Graze), Flail (1d8 Bludgeoning; Sap), 8 Javelins (1d6 Piercing; Thrown 30/120; Slow), Dungeoneer’s Pack (Backpack, Caltrops, Crowbar, 2 flasks of Oil, 10 days of Rations, Rope, Tinderbox, 10 Torches, and Waterskin.), and 4 GPClass Features: Fighting Style (Great Weapon Fighting), Second Wind, Weapon Mastery (Greatsword, Flail, Javelins)Background: FarmerAbility Score Improvements: +1 Strength and +2 ConstitutionSkill Proficiencies: Animal Handling (+3) and Nature (+3)Tool Proficiency: <s>Carpenter’s</s> Smith’s ToolsOrigin Feat: ToughEquipment: Sickle (1d4 Slashing; Light; Nick), <s>Carpenter’s</s> Smith’s Tools, Healer’s Kit, Iron Pot, Shovel, Traveler’s Clothes, 18 GPSpecies: HumanCreature Type: HumanoidSize: MediumSpeed: 30 feetSkill Proficiency: Insight (+3)Origin Feat: AlertOther Species Features: ResourcefulLanguages: Common, Halfling, ElvenAlignment: Chaotic GoodPassive Perception: 11As you can probably tell, I went with (mostly) standard character options for the 1st level version of this character (I'll probably post higher level versions later.</blockquote>
