Smoke 'em if you gottem!
Welcome to my OUR! BYOB Create Your Own Adventure!

**THIS OP SUBJECT TO FREQUENT EDITING, PLEASE CHECK BACK OFTEN!**

When I DM, I generally consider the Players to be the main character in the favorite book of your choice.

I don't like to indiscriminately kill off main characters.

That being said:


:peanut:Let's roll up some characters!:peanut:


Depending on participation, let's try to limit it to 5 8 or so players, but latecomers could be NPCs, such as magic items carried by the main party for example.

:siren: Use this website to randomly generate your D&D character: :siren:

https://www.random.org/dice/

We will use this website in the future for any D20 rolls, damage rolls, or percentile rolls. We will use the honor system.

Set it to roll 5 virtual dice.

Keep the 3 highest D6 dice rolls.

Use the following ruleset:

4 of a kind = automatic 18 for the stat rolled.

5 of a kind= an automatic 18 for that stat, and +1 to any other stat.

:siren:Re-roll your lowest stat.:siren:

Roll for the following stats:

Strength

Intelligence

Wisdom

Dexterity

Agility

Constitution

Presence


Note:

PUT YOUR TOTAL SCORES WHERE EVER (IE: not in order; your choice!)

Dexterity is a stat roll for hand eye coordination (above the waist) and Agility is quickness and foot speed (below the waist).

Presence is charisma, but purely looks; not leadership ability or that sort of thing.

When you have a complete set of stat rolls, post them here with any input you would like for the character you wish to play.

This phase will remain open for several days.

Strength: 15
Intelligence: 13
Wisdom: 17
Dexterity: 17
Agility: 13
Constitution: 17
Presence: 13

well I got a lot of 17s and 13 I like having weaknesses in my characters so I kind of hedged into a jack of all trades outlook. Like my card is pretty solid 17 17 17 15 13 13 13. I think I'm good for whatever gets thrown at us. If phase 2 is assigning them then I guess I'll re-evaluate with that info but this seems pretty solid to do anything but run away or win a trivia competition.

It's honor system I just opened 8 chrome windows and hit it up with snipping tool and uploaded to imgur but you can :justpost: according to the OP. I figured as the first person I should show how I got my numbers to both make sure I did it right and as an example.They also seem insanely high so I made sure the timestamps were included.

Honor system. Pixaal went the extra mile!

You do not have to verify your die scores.

okay good, we get to skip the phase of everyone laughing at my technological suckitude! I'll write the full results in just for fun.

STR: 18 (6 6 3 6 5)

INT: 17 (3 6 5 6 4)

WIS: 15 (2 6 3 4 5)

DEX: 15 (4 6 1 4 5)

AGL: 15 (3 6 6 2 3)

CON: 12 (6 4 2 2 1) ---> reroll the 12: 18 (6 6 1 6 5)

PRE: 15 (5 2 3 4 6)

Starting to look like a (very lucky) fighter type and who am I to argue with a RNG?

Might just leave as is to make a tactically savvy warrior or could swap out INT and DEX to make a bit dumber but gooder at hitting things, not sure yet.

e: Or go something completely different, those rolls might make a good weed druid or something... gonna have a smoke and think about this.

I rolled a few more dice, that site seems to roll hot in general in seems.



2 18s at a 3.55% is impressive.

I mean this doesn't include the Yahtzee rules but no one has hit any yet.

I wanted high con for booze and bongs, I figure that's gonna come up.

I think I remember that this site in particular uses atmospheric noise as a root for it's RNG.

If you factor in everyone being at home, I wonder if that's why?

Fewer people out in public, driving, using machinery=a better RNG for role players; IE: LET'S PLAY D&D!

Yeah was impressed with 2 18's and so many 15's, wondered if it was rolling weirdly or something but in subsequent rolls after I'd got my character ones done it seemed all over the place so just a lucky run I guess :shrug:

And yeah, definitely con sounds handy for partying!

this, unless it's really specific to one build or another then those who roll lower should get boosted up more cause it's more fun that way :)
