[@Timemaster] Alright, well whatever you end up with, I'm sure will be a ton of fun!

[@Dark Cloud] D&D5e doesn't have stats for shields besides the fact that they increase AC by 2. RAW, there are no stats for using them offensively so they would be an improvised weapon (1d4 bludgeoning), but I'd allow you to use your proficiency bonus to hit since technically you're proficient in using them and of course the strength bonus for damage. As an action only, though, they would not be considered Light for a bonus action attack.

As much as I'm interested to know your background/rumor ideas, I'll ask for you to hold onto those until I put up the OOC.

To clarify with everyone, a character sheet made through dndbeyond is not necessary for applications to be approved. I'll be judging RPG character sheets based off their contents, having a dndbeyond sheet that I can inspect mechanically is just a plus.

[@Dog] Standard Array or Point Buy is acceptable. Options like that are clarified in my dndbeyond campaign link.
