[QUOTE="Ashrem Bayle, post: 1056003, member: 3103"] I'm sick of this.... My buddy and I got together over the weekend. The other members of our usuel group couldn't be there, so we sat bored wondering what to do. I had a serious D&D itch that needed scratching, so I suggested we run some quickly generated characters through what we refer to as a "head bashing session". A head bashing session is what we call "playtesting". We just run the characters through a kind of random dungeon and kill stuff. Such things are great for familiarizing yourself with the rules and keeping your skills sharp. Good to kill time too. ;) Anyway, it has become painfully clear that it's not possible to "quickly" generate a functional and efficient 1st level character. Higher level characters are even worse! So I decided that the free time I had at work this week would be devoted to character creation. Dozens of characters of levels 1, 3, 6, and 9 with different races and class mixes. Well, as I soon discovered, that is a HELL OF A LOT OF WORK!

The character will eventually be stores on an actual character sheet and, with the exception of background, will be fully stated and fleshed out. What I need are folks to pick a character and stat him out. Use the following ability scores for characters: Ability Scores: 16 14 13 12 10 8 Hit Points: 50% of max hit die + 1 + Con bonus (Max 1st lvl) [i]Example: Ftr 3rd level, 14 Con = 12 + (8 x 2) = 28[/i] Standard wealth: 1st - 75% of max starting gold 3rd - 2,700gp (give or take 100gp) 6th - 13,000gp (give or take 300gp) 9th - 36,000gp (give or take 800gp) I haven't been counting every copper, but I try to keep it real close to the above amounts. Sources: 3.5 Core only. I suppose the best way to do it would be to post whatever character you are interested in doing, and then set to work on him. Once the character is done, edit your initial post where you "claimed" the character and insert the stats. Once I get your write-up, in whatever format you choose to posto it in (doesn't have to be an official stat block), I'll convert it to the Word character sheet and then convert it to PDF. Make sure you use the DM Guide for character wealth and make sure the character is 3.5 ready. I'm not looking for min-maxed characters, just something that looks like the typical character of that race, class and level and would be appropriete for playtesting. Once they are all done, we can either find a place to store them online or I can email them out to those who contributed. Also, you don't have to stick to my list.
