Much fun was had. I love the character building elements. So many cool ideas for character personality and background.

Great minds ... almost exactly the same character combo I've been considering. I'm thinking Mountain Dwarf Wizard with the Soldier background.

Yes sir, that is a fine character you have there. 5e i think has hit a nice spot of "fun" characters to make. I can't wait to see more options in the PHB.

Should the attack with the warhammer be +2 and +0 damage?

Ya I don't know where I got the +3 to hit, musta thought I had a higher strength. I thought you get your proficiency added to damage with weapons that you are proficient with, but I may be wrong. So +2, +2.

EDIT: You are right, no proficiency bonus to damage, just stat bonus. So +2 attack and 1d8 (1d10 two handed) damage. Thanks mate.

If you are going Dwarf why would you choose Hill over Mountain. +1hp and +1wis compared to the ability to wear medium armour and still cast spells seems like a poor trade off. AC is important in 5e and 11 is asking for trouble. With a starting Int of 15, 3 prepared spells and only 2 slots you also cant really afford to take Mage Armour making mountain dwarf a mechanically stronger choice for basically the same flavour.

Also I am pretty sure your Con should be 16.

Ya the armor is a good point, and I guess the mini looks like it could be wearing fantasy leather armor. Imma gonna have to think about that one.

I'm not sure where the extra 2 pts of Con should come from? One of the reasons I went will hill dwarf is so I could put my 14 in Con and still have a 14 total Wis with my 13 plus race bonus.

All dwarves get +2 con so it is 16.

Yeppers! I figured that out last night reading the rules after I went to bed. I got so excited about the sub races I stampeded right past the basic +2 CON. Thanks for setting me straight. Now she had 10 HP! Who needs armor?

I will be using your character as a pre-gen for my next attempt at teaching 5th edition!

A quick note. List your "passive Perception near your Senses." That is 10+your wisdom modifier(+2)+your Perception Skill(+0)=passive Perception 12
