Class attributes: fighter's weapon specialization, +1 to 1 hand weapon attack rolls.  Tempest fighter: When dual wielding off-hand light weapons in chain or light armor, Kitau gains +1 to attack rolls, AC and Reflex; and a +2 to damage rolls.  (Source: http://www.wizards.com/default...x=dnd/dramp/20080905 )

http://img.photobucket.com/alb...l/Kitaudualwield.png
Young female gnome with a dwarf's personality.  Generally reserved, but passionate in battle.  Nervous around magic.

Character background:
Parents murdered in her childhood by mixed band of bad-guys.  Out for vengeance on the evil races.  How original.  (This is just a template after all.)

XP earned: 0

Money: 1 gold.  (No, I didn't do the math.  -.-)

---

the [M] stands for "melee,"
[R] would represent ranged single target,
[C] would represent close,
[A] would represent ranged area attack.


This isn't grade school, so it's silly to have to show your work.  Feats, armor bonuses and penalties, racial stat bonuses, etc, shouldn't clutter up how you arrived at your oh-so-simple "+4 vs reflex; 1d6+4 damage," but I included the ones that aren't obvious at the bottom to specify which of the optional lvl 1 class traits I took.  I didn't spell out fighter's mark or fighter's fortitude or any of the mundane stuff that comes automatically with Kitau's class.  You should site your sources if you're doing something particularly out of the ordinary like I did with "gnomish tempest fighter."

not a nono.  inconvenient for the player who wants to keep their char info as a name-clicky - they'd have to update both every time they made a change to their char's info.

Racial attributes: Half-Elf (PHB, page 43). +2 Con, +2 Cha, +2 diplomacy, +2 insight. 6 square speed. Low light vision. Language Common, Elven, choice of one other. Diletante (Choose an at-will from another class and treat as an encounter power). Dual Heritage (You meet the racial requirements for feats that require human, elf or half-elf). Group Diplomacy (You grant allies within 10 squares a +1 to diplomacy).

Class attributes: Armor Proficiency: Cloth, Leather, Hide. Weapon Proficiency: Simple Melee, Military Melee, Simple Ranged, Military Ranged. Bonus to Defense: +1 For, +1 Ref. Skill Training: Dungeoneering or Nature (Then choose four more from the Ranger list). Archer Fighting Style (Bonus feat: Defensive Mobility). Hunter's Quarry. Prime Shot (+1 to ranged attack roll if you are closest to the enemy).

Rituals: None.
Feats: Defensive Mobility (+2 AC vs opportunity attk), Weapon Proficiency (Greatbow).

Character description/personality:
Short-haired (with brown hair), average sized (5'5") Half-Elf wearing an outfit that seems to resemble the patterns of a Monarch Butterfly. Butterfly likes nature, but with more respect for the circle of life than for wildlife itself. Think a park ranger in real life. She also longs to impress the elves (Humans are easier to impress), so she has practiced hard on the bow and nature lore.

Combat tactics:
Strongly preferring the Greatbow, all of Butterfly's attacks assume she is using that weapon with the one exception being if her enemy has gotten too close for comfort. In those cases, Butterfly uses her Dagger. If it is possible to shift away and shoot with her bow, however, she will do that sooner than use the Dagger. But Butterfly also realises arrows can run out and so the Dagger serves as a good backup for that as well.

Character background:
Born to an elf woman and human man, Butterfly was raised more among humans than elves. Having suh a strong human influence caused Butterfly to have a more realistic approach to life in general along with a more humble angle on how to treat both nature and humans. However, when she was 11 years old, Butterfly decided to take up the bow and learn more about her elven heritage. After all, she already had the respect of her human peers. Equipped with her mother's guidance, her father's support and her determination to impress her own kind, Butterfly trained in nature, the wild and how to guard both.

Racial attributes: Fox (Custom). +2 Dex, +2 Cha, +1 Ref. 6 square speed. Low-Light Vision. Languages Common, Elven. Nimble Reaction (+2 AC vs opportunity attacks). Bonus Feat - Fast Runner.

Class attributes: Armor Proficiency: Cloth, Leather. Weapon Proficiency: Dagger, hand crossbow, shuriken, sling, short sword. Bonus to Defense: +2 Ref. Skill Training: Stealth and Thievery.

Rituals: (None... yet)

Feats: Fast Runner, Liguist.

Character description/personality:
3' tall humanoid fox who loves life and thinks nothing of taking the life of an enemy. Almost treats life like it's a game, but can often wind up serious when in a dangerous situation or when friends are in danger.

Combat tactics:
Emerald usually uses the sling since ammo is as simple as picking up rocks, but will use Shuriken when having a bad streak since she is more accurate with those. Being a rogue, though, Emerald prefers getting up close and personal with her foes, preferring the accuracy of the dagger over the power of the Short Sword. But considering the undeniably higher damage a Sword gives than a dagger, Emerald is likely to use her Short Sword for Encounter or Daily abilities.

Character background:
Born in a very far away land, Emerald is from a race of people not very well known to the main lands. But due to a desire to explore the world and learn as much as she can about it, this fox who started out as a mere pick-pocket on the streets has gone on to be an adventurer. Now, Emerald seeks to learn of this world and it's many wonders.

Character description/personality:
4' tall human boy who loves study and especially mechanical things. But given his current setting, Eli takes advantage of knowing and learning magic while on a quest to learn how to develop new inventions, especially if it can be mechanical. While he does not like violence as much as normal boys, Eli knows people need to defend themselves. So Eli has made up his mind that he himself will cause more aid than harm if possible and allow his allies to do as much harm to the enemy as they please... if anything, Eli has no problems giving his allies boosts to do so if it means the fight is over quicker. In the end, Eli's actions are more calculated than his emotional exterior seems to advertise.

Combat tactics:
Eli knows it is tactically advantageous to let the defenders defend, the strikers strike and let the leaders sit back and give orders. Part leader himself, but mostly controller, Eli prefers going last in a combat round so he can assess the situation while his allies lay on the hurt to the enemy. Then with a devised tactic, Eli will not only cast what spells he has deemed fitting to the situation, but also give advice for the upcoming round.

Character background:
Eli was born to a wealthy lord and as such, lived in luxury. His father assigned two very experienced individuals as teachers for Eli: A Wizard and a Warlord. Not just normal people, these two had fought alongside Eli's father when HE was an adventurer and obtained immense power and experience. The wizard, as powerful as he was, worked on a secret ritual. Once put together, he cast it and took 20 years off his life in order to grant Eli enough strength and constitution and such to allow him adventuring even though he was only a child. Bringing his lessons from the warlord as well as the wizard, Eli has effectively learned how and when to do things tactically while wielding massive magics.

Primary version here: http://spreadsheets.google.com...3bxPD0pRRxxvX0DlHZJw




Racial attributes: +2 to ability of choice (Chose Str), movement 6, Normal Vision, Languages Common and choice of one other (Chose Goblin), Bonus At-Will power, Bonus feat, Bonus skill from class, +1 to Fort Ref and Will.

Class attributes: Armor Proficiency: Cloth, Leather, Hide, Chainmail; Light Shield. Weapon Proficiency: Simple Melee, Military Melee, Simple Ranged. Bonus to Defense: +1 For, +1 Will. Skill Training: (Choice of four from list). Combat Leader. Commanding Presence (Chose Tactical Presence). Inspiring Word.

Tactical Presence: When an ally Bridget can see spends an action point to make an extra attack, that ally gets a bonus to the attack roll equal to one-half Bridget's intelligence modifier (1).

Rituals: None.

Feats: Student of the Sword, Improved Initiative

Regional Benefit: UNITY REGIONAL BENEFIT
Add Diplomacy to your class skill list.
+2 to Diplomacy checks.
Add an extra language of your choice (Besides Abyssal and Supernal).

Despite Unity being relatively new, Unity has been around long enough for anyone who remembers the tyranny before Eöl to be too old for adventuring. Thus, anyone who was born in Unity when it was called "Unity" has benefited from prosperity rather than tyranny. The continued support of racial acceptance, coupled with the fact that more and more races have arrived and even been born in Unity means that the people of Unity are not only used to most races, but have become accustomed to meeting new ones. For this reason, most people in Unity are not racist, but even those who are know well enough how to get along with other races. Therefor, players with the Unity Regional Benefit can add the Diplomacy skill to their class skill list and receive a +2 bonus to Diplomacy checks. Also, thanks to the constant flow of and dealings with many races, players with the Unity Regional Benefit who wish to learn something about a specific player-character race gets a +5 to their DC roll concerning that race's lore. Finally, due to the fact people who live in Unity always hear more than the Common tongue, any character who grew up in Unity gains one extra language of choice.


Character description/personality:
Bridget is an average sized woman with brown hair and brown eyes. Never seen smiling or frowning, Bridget keeps a poker face at all times and for good reason: She believes emotions are a weakness. Burying her emotions deep, nobody ever knows whether something upsets her or not... or if anything can. Jokes do not maker her laugh. She has no sense of humor. However, it is this cold, calculated way of life that causes Bridget to do everything with precision and without duress. However, this does not mean she has no emotion. It simply means she does not show it. Therefor fear effects and such still work on her.

Having been brought up knowing right from wrong, however, Bridget is a crusader for good and against evil. Due to the strict emphasis on obeying rules that her Aunt imprinted into her mind, Bridget is a stickler for the rules and has harsh words at best for those who do not follow the rules. Bridget is also black and white about her beliefs and rules. There is no such thing as a bad person who obeys the rules. In her mind, bad people are incapable of obeying all the rules and thus can be caught doing something wrong.


Combat tactics:
Bridget believes a dragged out battle is less likely to be won unless you are forcing the enemy to run out of resources (Such as a good siege). Therefor, Bridget strongly prefers speed over patience. This isn't to say she is impatient, but in battle, she acts quickly and decisively, instigating her allies to do the same. She leads her allies straight to the enemies' commander if he or she is present or in view. If her allies are not in range of "Warlord's Favor", Bridget will delay using it and use "Furious Smash" until her allies are in range. In this way, the ally still gets a bonus to attacking Bridget's target before ALL allies receive the better benefit. But in her arsenal of attacks, Bridget saves "Bastion of Defense" for tougher foes that clearly won't be taken down easily and will use it first thing if she sees such a foe ready to attack her and her allies.


Character background:
Bridget was raised by her very strict Aunt who would punish her for crying, laughing, or even frowning. The Aunt didn't explain that when she punished Bridget for these things, it was because she was discouraging being a crybaby, laughing at inappropriate times or making people uncomfortable by frowning at them when they are in the right. And since Bridget's Aunt was the kind of person who believed she was always in the right, she believed she never deserved a frown from Bridget. Unfortunately, Bridget misinterpreted the way she was raised to mean that emotions are bad. This was further enforced when Bridget discovered that being cold merited no punishment from her Aunt. The Aunt, completely unaware of the kind of psychological damage inflicted on Bridget, continues to believe Bridget is the world's most perfect niece and thus, the Aunt does not regret, but rather is proud of the way she raised Bridget.

When she became an adult, Bridget decided to take schooling for becoming an official of the law so she could continue the crusade against lawlessness that her Aunt instilled in her. Wanting to get more done than she could do on her own, Bridget went into officer training and became a warlord so that she could command other fighters instead of merely being 1 fighter. In order to better serve Unity, Bridget learned Elven due to elves being the second-largest population as well as the fact Elves get along with humans most. Next, Bridget took classes on Goblin to be able to relate to the less-accepted masses such as goblins, orcs, etc. Bridget also studied it so as to understand what most enemies might be saying. Now Bridget serves as both a peace keeper (Law enforcer) and as a Commander who gets things done.
