So let me just lay out the quick and dirty of my idea:

We all start off as level 1 Wizards.
We're all part of a sort of organization/college to learn about magic and stuff.
The plot largely consist of sending the players off to different ruins or events to study stuff, figure out what sort of magical nonsense is going on, or maybe something that'll help the academy.

It's pretty bare bones right now. As far legal stuff, core, UA, Elemental Evil, and Xanathar's guide is fine.
Only one character per player. Players may have prior relationships to one another if they feel like it.
Regardless of your origins or family, you all start out with the same basic kit that I'll figure out later.
Homebrew will be highly scrutinized. Well not really. Basically I reserve the right to deny homebrew without really reading too much about your reasoning or justification. I also reserve the right to utilize your homebrew even if you cannot benefit from it. Don't be an ass about it and your chances go up pretty well.
Lastly while your first level has to be wizard, feel free to multiclass out of it at any point when you level up. So long as you meet the requirements for the multiclass and have an IC reason for it, I'll accept it.

So for now I mainly wanna gauge interests and maybe get some ideas or suggestions. I'm looking for 4-5 players at most, ideally ones that will be somewhat active, but I can easily recruit and replace if we get droppers.

@Asura

Debatable. I’ve always kinda disliked rolling stats because they tend to be really bad (average 10) or really good (average 16), but if enough people want to do roll stats I’ll allow it. But you only get to roll once and you have to keep the results the first time even if they’re all shit.

@Angel Witch

You’re going to all start as wizards, which aren’t really easy to grasp for new players. That being said this RP is basically wizard school, so I’m willing to teach both spell effects and game mechanics as needed. Ideally however you may want to aquaint yourself with both RPing mechanics and D&D rules and gameplay prior.

In any asr we got four at least. So vote time:

For stats do you want to do rolling for stats, or 27 point buy?

Well, I'd choose dice rolls over point buy to be honest, even though with my luck I'll probably roll really shit stats.

I'm interested!

Also given the choice, I'd rather point buy but hey, I'll still play if we roll.

That's two for point buy and two for dice rolling.

@Grey If you're still among the living you'll be the tie breaker. Also holy shit you're right this was a pathfinder concept. No wonder I thought about it.

@Lusus Naturae@Claw2k11@Lilaen@Asura@Rune_Alchemist@Grey

Point buy it is. Here's the link I usually do my point buys from.

You six are my lucky victims. I'll have an OOC up eventually. Until then fill out this character sheet and send me the completed link on the OoC. If you have any questions regarding character creation, homebrews, or resources, ask and I might answer.

Just remember that your first level will be in Wizard and your starting items will be limited to what you get in your background, as well as the following:

1 Mage Staff (Quarterstaff) or 1 Crystal Knife (Dagger). Both will have been given to you by the organization and these specific item can serve as your arcane focus and they count as magical for the purpose of overcoming Damage Resistances.
2 Potions of Healing
2 Alchemist Fires or 2 Antitoxins
Scholar's Pack or Explorer's Pack
Spellbook
Academy Signet Ring
3 Robes and 1 Wizard Hat

Any additional items you'll want, you'll have to get through IC or hopefully you'll have enough money from your background to buy it.

All except modern magic stuff. That's not to say it won't be used, but it's not immediately available. Y'all got to learn dem science stuff.
