D&D 5E Starter Set Character Sheet Revealed!

[GravyFingerz]

Riding's not on the skill list. Rolled into Animal Handling? That would be one way of increasing its use.

Riding is covered by the mount (land) proficiency.

It's likely a tool proficiency now. You'll have proficiency with "Mounts (Land Animals)" or somesuch.

Cheers!

Doh! I knew that, but forgot. So, does that make Handle Animal the new use Rope?

The Fighter used to have proficiency with land mounts. This one doesn't. Mearls also said they fixed all the redundant skills/tools.

< snip > . . . I'm super annoyed at what seems to be the Human racial stat modifiers, +1 to everything. Is no one as upset about this as me? Argh!!!. . . .

I expect that there will be a variety of options available in the PHB, so not all humans have to take the "+1 to everything" option.

However, for the Starter Set, it makes sense that WotC would use the simplest possible build; and they may believe that "+1 to everything" is that.

I can't help but notice a distinct lack of space for a character portrait on this sheet.

Hopefully that's just because this is a pregen and the sheet for the basic set does have one.

I find it much more important than a list of skills.

Not if Handle Animal actually covers riding in the final rules, and Mount(Land) has ridden off into the sunset.

Oh maybe it's folded back to handle animal.

I figured handle animal was something rangers or Druids used to calm angry beasts.

 

[SigmaOne]

250, 750, 2250. There's been a bump.

As of 10/14 (and I think before) you needed 950 for 3rd, not 750.

I would just put a portrait box where the personality traits are. Much as I respect the lipservice to roleplaying, you don't need to write down your character's personality.
