Character Creation

---

1. Starting level is 3 for replacement characters.
   
   
2. For ability scores we're using the standard array: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8
   
   
3. HP is max for level 1. For every level after 1, roll your HP and if you get less than the average for the die, take the average instead.
   
   
4. All official WotC published content is allowed, except for races with base flying speed. Unearthed Arcana is not allowed.
   
   
5. All character options from Tasha's are allowed.
   
   
6. Multiclassing and Feats are both allowed. If you want to multiclass, I prefer that you roleplay that before the fact so that you don't just wake up one day and suddenly know how to be a wizard. I'm happy to work with you on it.
   
   
7. You start with the equipment given to you by your class and background. You can roll for your starting gold per the table on page 143 of the PHB rather than taking the starting gear if you wish, but if you roll the dice then you're stuck with the results. It can suck, but it can also be good feed for RP.
   
   
8. Tracking Ammo sucks, so you have an infinite supply of normal ammo for any ranged weapon you use. Magical ammo will be tracked as normal, when/if you obtain such. Not applicable to thrown weapons.
   
   
9. You know what else sucks? Encumbrance. We're using common sense for this. You're not going to grab three suits of plate armor and stick them in your pocket, or steal an entire shop display in one go, but otherwise I don't care how much your stuff weighs.
   
   
10. If you're going to be gone for a period of time, post it in the Planned Absences thread so that everyone knows, and I will NPC you for that time as necessary.
    
    
11. Potions can be used as a Bonus Action.

Leveling Style: Milestone

For those of you who do, or want to, use D&D Beyond, you're welcome to do so: https://ddb.ac/campaigns/join/19674253477924804

All rolls need to be handled here, but you're welcome to keep track of everything in D&DB if you'd like.

Remember, if you need to take a leave from the game for any amount of time, just communicate and I'll handle things appropriately. If you don't communicate, I'll delay a bit to give you a chance, NPC you for a bit in case something big came up and couldn't communicate, and then I'll just assume you're no longer interested and remove you from the game.

If your character dies, you are welcome to roll a new one that will join up with the group at the soonest point that makes sense in the story.

I do generally allow potions to be used as a bonus action in non-teaching games, because I also take the kid gloves off. I did not have it listed in the rules here, so this post serves as the notification, and I will update the first thread to include it. Keep the other rules of item interaction in mind, however, as you may have to drop weapons or shields in order to interact with the potion in the first place.
