OK I found this site:
http://www.fastcharacter.com/
and
https://orcpub2.com/
They generate 5E characters. Will it work for this?
I have no clue how to generate my own character. What you told me above doesn't help.

Are we doing SRD 3.5 or 5e?
Str - 13 (-2) = 11
Dex - 17
Con - 6 (+2) = 8
Int - 19
Wis - 17
Chr - 15
3.5 because I wasn't paying attention when I glanced at it earlier and didn't realize it had a second system now.
Unless, Spart and CV rolled up in 5e, in which case I'll just adapt."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Yes, anyone that wants to recalculate can - but with the original dice rolls. I'm not THAT nice.

Originally posted by Teallaura View PostLet me hear back from CV and Spart since I messed up initially. If they rolled up in 3.5, I'll help you with your character. If they rolled up in 5, then the sheets will work perfectly fine - once it's done, I'll help you with the modifications for my world (you'll either have more money or more skill points, your choice).
I was going to go all pirate mode, but we apparently already have a rogue character so I will be a ranger. or maybe something even more basic so I don't have to worry about spells and stuff.

Primer: 4d6
There are six stats that every character has (Strength, Wisdom, Dexterity, Charisma, Intelligence and Constitution). These stats are determined by rolling three six sided die for each stat and using the total.
So, if you roll 5, 4 and 3 for your Constitution, your actual Constitution stat would be 12.
That's the basics, anyway. As you can see, it stinks because rolling a specific set of rolls for a specific stat may not give you enough points to run the character class you would like (this can be amusing for DMs with first level parties, but in general, it stinks). Commonly, most DMs and even some systems, allow a player to roll all six sets of stats and then chose which number will go to which stat - so if you also have a 15 total you'd prefer to put into constitution, you can.
This doesn't stink as much but you still end up with a lot of very average - and below average - stats.
The fix for this is to roll four die six instead of just three and total three the highest.
So, you roll 5,4,3,6. You then chose the ones you want (some comedians chose the lowest - don't do this) and total those three - in this example 5+4+6=15.
So, in my world, you will roll 4d6 a total of 6 times. You will total up three of the four rolls in a given set and apply those scores to your character's stats.
If you roll really poorly (four 1's, for example) it's perfectly okay to reroll that. Any stat below 10 should be rerolled. I didn't state it explicitly before (should have) but in a high level party you really shouldn't see low stats (unless it's a character choice - running a barbarian who's barely smarter than a door, for instance. Don't do this, either - let's get you back up to speed before trying the sillier stuff)."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Skills, I understand you use your skill points and pick skills available to your class(es). Feats? I'm not sure how you assign those.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

I'm an idiot.
CV and OBP - reroll the stats that are below 10 w/o modifier. This is my fault, I didn't notice earlier (I think I reread Spart's stats instead of CVs ) and I hadn't stated that there shouldn't be any below ten.
Basically, all stats should be double digit."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
