5E characters are too complex for the character sheet in the dice roller. You can store in there at your option (lots can go on the notes tab) but for my sanity, I'm going to ask that we keep an organized 5E format as the main copy and have it here (and in private forum) for easy access and reference. This is a communal storytelling game and I'm going to keep most sheets here publicly so we can all help each other develop the shared character stories (no concealed sheets and few, if any, OOC secrets).
When your characters are done, they go here. I also want you to paste a copy in your private forum where we can discuss leveling and updating in that thread. I ask that you EDIT this post to be the most-current version every time you level or change (such as updating traits, ideals, bonds, and flaws through personal character development).
A Character Post here contains:
- A character portrait (art is cool, but this is optional if you don't have one)
- Character's known names (in bold)
- Single paragraph background of public knowledge (what is known about them at game start)
- Characteristics. These must be posted here formally, and will be a major focus of how the story evolves. I intend to award inspiration for when you bring them in to influence gameplay (you can put an OOC note at the end of the post to prompt me when you are proud of how you've done so
). You can roll these from your background, but are free to modify and/or personalize to make your character have more depth. I will intentionally invoke and challenge these to make your character grow whenever possible.
- Personality Traits. Must have two.
- Ideals Must have one.
- Bonds Must have at least one.
- Flaws Must have at least one. They must be contrary to your normal interests. - A formatted sheet with a summary line and then spoilered details, as shown in the example below. 5e characters are complex and you will have primary responsibility for understanding and updating this here. When I audit something, we'll talk on your private forum version for recordkeeping purposes.
- A list of reaction triggers. For each type of reaction your character can invoke, include a statement about your intended use. Since reactions trigger when I'm adjudicating a scene, I'll rely on this for when you do/don't use them. I will assume you always expend your reaction for the round on the first opportunity to do so unless it is clearly defined otherwise. For example, "always prioritize an opportunity attack when the opportunity occurs" or "don't use an opportunity attack against a human, as hitting them when they flee is dishonorable" or "always cast Shield the first time I take damage" or "only cast shield when the damage would incapacitate me"...
