Dice Dragon Heist Characters

[A Sparkling Zombie]

Waterdeep: Dragon Heist
Alexandrian Remix​

You have found yourself in Waterdeep and are in need of work, so to the Yawning Portal you've come. You have established a contact there who may be able to point you to someone in need if you ask, or perhaps the contact has already notified you about a job very recently, withholding the details but telling you to meet them in the tavern that evening.

Famed explorer Volothamp Geddarm will ask you to take on a simple quest. Little do you know that Waterdeep's next Grand Game is brewing. You will compete against various factions within the city, but only time will tell if you will crack Neverember's Enigma and reap the reward.


Character Creation

If you have questions or want input, lemme know.

To newbies: I recommend sticking to the core races and classes since you can more easily find that information.

To everyone else: No homebrew or Unearthed Arcana. No Ravnica stuff. Otherwise, as long as it's an official PC race/subclass and you can link me to the information, it's cool.

Ability Scores
We'll be using the point-buy system. You can spend up to 27 points. Doing so can get you arrays like the following:

15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8
15, 15, 15, 8, 8, 8
13, 13, 13, 12, 12, 12

Spoiler: Point Cost Table

Score	Cost		Score	Cost
8	0		12	4
9	1		13	5
10	2		14	7
11	3		15	9

​

Spoiler: Modifier Reference for Convenience

Score	Modifier		Score	Modifier
8-9	-1		16-17	+3
10-11	+0		18-19	+4
12-13	+1		20	+5
14-15	+2

​

Race
Racial bonuses can be modified using the following rules. Just be sure to mention to me what you're changing!

Any ability score increase granted by the race can be applied to a different ability. If the race has more than one score increase, they must still be applied to separate abilities. For example, a half-orc's default score increases are +2 Strength and +1 Constitution. You can switch the +2 to Dexterity and the +1 to Wisdom, but you cannot make a +3 Dexterity.

Most races have at least one language they speak in addition to Common. You may swap out those languages for others.

You may also swap out proficiencies like so based on type:

Skill for a different skill
Armor for a simple/martial weapon or a tool
Simple weapon for a different simple weapon or a tool
Martial weapon for a simple/martial weapon or a tool
Tool for a tool or a simple weapon

Alignment
No chaotic evil. Anything else is fine, but keep in mind that your character is expected to coexist with the rest of the party.

Other
Establish at least 2 personality traits, 1 flaw, 1 bond, and 1 ideal.

In the sheet, you may omit information from the backstory 'cause secrets, but please PM me the unredacted version.

The adventure hook is that your character is looking for work, so they have come to the Yawning Portal. There are a few ways to skin this cat, one being that there may be a familiar face at the tavern who you think can inform you of any jobs. You might be actively seeking this contact, or a couple hours ago, the contact might have notified you of a job through some means, not disclosing details but telling you to meet them at the Yawning Portal that evening. Or, maybe the contact is a friend of an acquaintance, or maybe your character is a tagalong of another, and that character is the one with a contact in mind. Or you could be at the tavern by chance, though that option might have the chance of not going well, depending on what your character will do. We'll work out these details as the would-be party forms, just keep it in mind as you're deciding on a concept.

Character Sheet
Please post your character sheet in the interest check, or PM it to me.

You may use any sheet format that you want as long as it contains the necessary information. Try to use one that's mobile friendly. One option is presented below.

Creating the sheet in D&D Beyond is an option, too. Please join this campaign if you do. (I don't have any books to share there, sorry.)

  You've manifested some of the power of chromatic dragons, granting you the following benefits:
  Chromatic Infusion. As a bonus action, you can touch a simple or martial weapon and infuse it with one of the following damage types: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison. For the next minute, the weapon deals an extra 1d4 damage of the chosen type when it hits. After you use this bonus action, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.
  
  Reactive Resistance. When you take acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison damage, you can use your reaction to give yourself resistance to that instance of damage. You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

  Ideals: Free Thinking. Inquiry and curiosity are the pillars of progress. (Chaotic)
  
  Bonds: The world has been convinced of a terrible lie. It's up to me to reveal the truth.

  Backstory: Diana grew up with a love of mystery books and seeking to find all the world's secrets around her. In order to find those secrets Diana trained herself in many important skills such as the use of many weapons and armors, lockpicking, and disguise. One day while working on a missing cat case, Diana stumbled upon a greater mystery that only left one clue behind a broken dragon pendant. Figuring that dragons are somehow involved in the case, Diana trained herself in learning their language and all of their secrets that she could find. Nothing is going to stop her from uncovering what these dragons are planning.

• Racial Features
  • Age. A typical warforged is between two and thirty years old. The maximum lifespan of the warforged remains a mystery; so far, warforged have shown no signs of deterioration due to age. You are immune to magical aging effects.
  • Alignment. Most warforged take comfort in order and discipline, tending toward law and neutrality. But some have absorbed the morality – or lack thereof – of the beings with which they served.
  • Size. Your size is Medium. To set your height and weight randomly, start with rolling a size modifier.
    • Size modifier = 2d6
    • Height = 5 feet + 10 inches + your size modifier in inches
    • Weight in pounds = 270 + (4 x your size modifier)
  • Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
  • Constructed Resilience. You were created to have remarkable fortitude, represented by the following benefits:
    • You have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, and you have resistance to poison damage.
    • You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe.
    • You are immune to disease.
    • You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep.
  • Sentry's Rest. When you take a long rest, you must spend at least six hours in an inactive, motionless state, rather than sleeping. In this state, you appear inert, but it doesn’t render you unconscious, and you can see and hear as normal.
  • Integrated Protection. Your body has built-in defensive layers, which can be enhanced with armor.
    • You gain a +1 bonus to Armor Class.
    • You can don only armor with which you have proficiency. To don armor, you must incorporate it into your body over the course of 1 hour, during which you must remain in contact with the armor. To doff armor, you must spend 1 hour removing it. You can rest while donning or doffing armor in this way.
    • While you live, your armor can't be removed from your body against your will.
  Class Features Spellcasting You have learned to untangle and reshape the fabric of reality in harmony with your wishes and music. Your spells are part of your vast repertoire, magic that you can tune to different situations. Cantrips You know two cantrips of your choice from the bard spell list. You learn additional bard cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Bard table. Spell Slots The Bard table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. For example, if you know the 1st-level spell Cure Wounds and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast Cure Wounds using either slot. Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher You know four 1st-level spells of your choice from the bard spell list. The Spells Known column of the Bard table shows when you learn more bard spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on the table. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the bard spells you know and replace it with another spell from the bard spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots. Spellcasting Ability Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your bard spells. Your magic comes from the heart and soul you pour into the performance of your music or oration. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a bard spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier Ritual Casting You can cast any bard spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag. Spellcasting Focus You can use a musical instrument (found in chapter 5) as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells. Bardic Inspiration You can inspire others through stirring words or music. To do so, you use a bonus action on your turn to choose one creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you. That creature gains one Bardic Inspiration die, a d6. Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls the d20 before deciding to use the Bardic Inspiration die, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Bardic Inspiration die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Bardic Inspiration die at a time. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest. Your Bardic Inspiration die changes when you reach certain levels in this class. The die becomes a d8 at 5th level, a d10 at 10th level, and a d12 at 15th level. Background Features By Popular Demand You can always find a place to perform, usually in an inn or tavern but possibly with a circus, at a theater, or even in a noble's court. At such a place, you receive free lodging and food of a modest or comfortable standard (depending on the quality of the establishment), as long as you perform each night. In addition, your performance makes you something of a local figure. When strangers recognize you in a town where you have performed, they typically take a liking to you. Feats x

• Age: 101 Height: 5'12 Weight: 278 lbs Appearance: Naturally grey, steel-like “skin,” though it has the texture of rubber. However, they often elect to paint over their skin with beautiful colors. Personality Traits They’re a bit contradictory when it comes to personality. A lot of the time, especially in public, they can be quite outgoing and jovial, often cracking jokes and trying to elicit some sort of positive response. However, especially in private, they will often have bouts of extreme melancholy and gloom, fueled by their nihilism and past tragedies. Ideals They believe firmly that laughter and joy are the most important things in the whole world, and that anything they can do to spread more joy and laughter is something that ought to be celebrated. This is because they believe mortal lives are short and brutish, and that they should be spent as happily as possible. Bonds They're extremely attached to their favorite violin, as it is the one thing that has never been taken away from them. Flaws They are careful not to get too attached to anyone who is likely to outlive them, and their carefree attitude towards long-term achievements can prove problematic. They believe that anything that causes pain or doesn’t provide immediate joy is ultimately fruitless. Background Entertainer Backstory Mori was created as a servant to a noble family, who wished to have someone capable of taking care of the household, while the head of the family was abroad. Mori would utilize their remarkable talent and creativity to sing and compose beautiful songs and poems, along with creating remarkably beautiful paintings. Mori grew to love this family as if they were part of it, and they enjoyed many long years with them. However, as mortals do, the family began to age gradually, while Mori remained exactly the same. Eventually, everyone Mori had known was in the grave. Soon after, the remaining members of the family sold Mori to another noble, leaving Mori heartbroken. They soon ran away from the family they were sold to, beginning to live on their own. Mori was consumed by grief, and comforted themself through their songs. This intense grief would manifest itself in a magical awakening, granting Mori a direct conduit through their art and music. They would decide then to devote their existence towards making the lives of mortals as jovial and carefree as possible, as to allow them to live as best as they could before their inevitable demise.
