Okay, check out the new Players Guide and make yourself a character!
I really am open to character idea to fit into group need. Any requests? Ive been playing so many years I am open to anything really

Because it is AL, I would say play what you find fun. 5e is really forgiving enough that party roles are easy to overcome. We have a bard, and a cleric that just jumped in. The other characters are a sorcerer that is convinced that it is not him, a dwarven fighter, a goblin ranger, and an eladrin swashbuckler!
We are pretty set all the way around. I am more interested in seeing interesting characters than a balanced party. ;)

Lots of party members means I can really lean in to the bad decisions brought about by an 8 WIS ;) :P
Man I am torn between an assassin fighter/rogue or a barbarian/druid rear end kicker.
Just going to narrow down to one class and go mountain dwarf barbarian I think or rogue.
Just a question, how hard would going with Bugbear be?
Khitt will not be following your orders no matter what his DNA says.
Lol don't make me play golf with my battleaxe

ALL DWARVES ALL DAY! That's my vote anyways lol. (Playing the dwarven fighter.)
Yeah that mountain dwarf is pretty amazing for barbarian

From Volo’s Guide to Monsters. Aasimar, Firbolg, Goliath*, Kenku, Kobold, Orc, and Tabaxi
From Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes. Deep Gnome, Duergar, Eladrin, Gith, Shadar-kai, and Tiefling subraces
Looks like they did not deem Bugbear as appropriate for Season 10. The only reason why Khitt got away with playing a Gobbo, is that he has a certificate. Sorry!
I need a background with skills

I don’t remember the battle ranger from SCAG being particularly effective.

Good news, according to the new book, as you level you’ll be able to gain a few additional skills I believe.

No one realizes the pain that they become when they hit 6th level. When they Reckless Attack, they gain temp hp equal to their Con mod. As they are dwarves, AND barbarians, Con is likely to be high. I believe the resistance to damage is applied before the temp hp is removed, and as this refreshes every round (as long as they reckless).
Their only real worry is non-weapon damage (i.e.- fire, lightning, etc.)
I ran, early on, a battlerager and he was pretty tough to get down...
Hello all! Throwing my hat in the ring as a player in case any other roles in the party are needed - let me know if that’s alright. 5E is my main system and i’d love to get into a PbP game with it. Thanks!
Aloha Benobo, this is Aesh's character for this game. It looks like some kind of Healing capability would be appreciated in this one, since we lost both the bard and the cleric. We have a couple of fighters, a barbarian, and a sorcerer in the mix right now. We are kind of Dwarf-heavy as a group, with one Dwarf-raised Human and a Goblin in the mix (depending on who is running the next go-round.)

A sorcerer!?
How dare you, sir! I'll have you know that arcane magic is extremely dangerous and borderline evil. I mean, think of all the times we've been in combat and some weird magical stuff started happening!
Baldrick is good and loyal soldier, and nothing you can say will convince him otherwise.
Oi'm sorry, m'boyo! Cursed soldier infected wit' a wee bit o' the Wild Magicks, eh? Turq grins, Better?
What would be the format for creating a character? I know this used to be an AL thing but should I follow the AL format to make a character or just hop right in with a level 5 character?
It seems like we have a pretty heavy martial twinge in the group so i am thinking most likely a cleric or a divine soul sorcerer to fill the full caster + healer archetype that’s needed.
Follow the AL format. Actually, now there is guidance for making a 5th level character. You will get to choose a magic item from a list of Uncommons.
As for healing, it is nice to have, but 5e is pretty forgiving for parties that are not super balanced. So make what you think you will enjoy playing most. At least that would be my suggestion.
Working on an Order Cleric/Divine Soul Sorcerer Half-Elf. I've been meaning to try this type of character for a while just never got a chance in my home games so I'm pretty excited. I should have a character done by the end of the day for further approval. Thanks all.
Ah, just realized it breaks PH + 1. That's unfortunate. Back to the drawing board for a bit lol.
They removed PHB +1, so go ahead!
Well, in that case - let me make sure this is alright with everybody. Order Domain Cleric has an ability that makes it so whenever I target an ally with a spell, they may immediately use their reaction to make a Weapon Attack against an enemy I can see. The exact wording is: "If you cast a spell with a spell slot of 1st level or higher and target an ally with the spell, that ally can use their reaction immediately after the spell to make one weapon attack against a creature of your choice that you can see.
If the spell targets more than one ally, you choose the ally who can make the attack."
This may make PbP a bit confusing, so I understand if you guys would want me to choose a different subclass. Just let me know.

More chances to swing my sword? Bring it. Also totally cool with a different option if you find something fancier you like.
Sounds good to me! ;) As long as you remind us!
Well, I said end of the day but... Here he is! character sheet is linked in the Name portion of the profile. Let me know if there's anything that needs to be edited/clarified.
Quick question for you guys. I know it is an AL -> homebrew/non-AL, but are spell restrictions and things like that still in place? Only asking because there are some spells from Strixhaven that I was looking to choose for Quominar but just want to clarify the real rule set we're using.

I think to be fair, we should stick to the setting. Many of those spells are specific to those campaign settings and very much fit the tone, but might not for FR. However, as I am not running anymore, I will defer to those that are running. (Note: Silvery Barbs from Strixhaven has been a massive point of contention at my face-to-face tables, and can be irritating at best.)
Is this group still looking for more folks?
Hey there, Gnomezrule.
We're at 6 players right now, which will be fine for the current adventure. We can check in with you as this one nears its end.
Sounds great. Hope you guys keep having fun.
