[quote=@Lucky] 1. They will be fairly unknown to start. These rumors will have been from one heroic feat your character pulled off, which traveled from wherever your origin is to a certain noble's ear and picks up interest enough to sponsor a group through the adventure guild's trials. Details on that will come with the OOC. For various feats of strength, they can be discussed with me but you can do anything worth recruiting. Maybe you're the strongest swimmer in the region and can swim upstream with the trout without assistance. Maybe you can pull more wagon weight than an ox. Perhaps you fought off a troll from bumbling about your village. Possibilities are endless with your creativity. 2. This will be a fresh lvl 1 start. So fighting off a vampire lord is pretty unlikely, but the rumor is completely up to you within reason. Characters created in dndbeyond may get preference, as it is fully free to take advantage of the base content. 3. Stats will be those used in D&D5e character creation. Skill checks will be as normal, where I set a DC to see if you accomplish certain difficult tasks. To save on time, combat will be run a little differently but in the spirit of D&D5e. I'm considering using google docs for combat to make it all flow together as a collab. [@Dragonfly 9] Bards definitely have a musical place in this world, whether their experience is purely that of an adventurer or one of the Artists' Colleges. Also, you don't seduce dragons. Dragons seduce [i]you[/i]. ;) Considering the amount of interest, I'm gonna have to set a deadline. I'm thinking about a week after OOC goes up. To give everyone a fair shake, I won't accept CSes until close to the deadline. Keep that in mind, no need to rush anything out as this is [i]not[/i] first-come first-serve. That being said, everyone, I will work on the OOC and try to get it up Sunday. I want it to have as much information as you all ask for, so I appreciate your patience and interest! EDIT to #2 answer. I'm still gonna prioritize how well a character is thought through, but in the event of several characters about the same quality, I may choose one that has dndbeyond character sheet because that's where I run my campaigns.
