The 2E game I was playing in at the Playground died a couple of weeks back, so I have been looking for one to replace that. I'd rather take a pregen, though. I learned a little 5E from the character I rolled up in xelphyn's game, but am still very much a newbie and have yet to actually play it yet.

If you have a name and a description for the game, I can put up a forum for it. Let me know which players you want added to it, as well.
I guess you missed this part then?

Whoops! Yes I did miss that part completely

"The Isle of Wovara"
A 5th Edition homebrew, a short tale to get to grips with this new system. Many travel to Wovara a mostly uncharted isle on the fringes of civilisation where man attempts to stake is claim against nature and the unnkown

Players, please let me know if I get this wrong

So, I hope you love random, cause I've got a random one for you.

Also, Multiclassing in 5e isn't like 2e, correct?
2e - Can start multi, both take xp.
5e - once you level, you can choose another level in that class or another, correct?

I believe one chooses a class to level up in. As long as the character has 13 points in the primary requirements for that new class.

Well, I rolled my character up in a fancy javascript thing. It surprisingly works pretty well. It has a checkbox for EVERYTHING.

You want a race? Checkbox
You want skills? Checkbox
You want to label literally anything? Checkboxes FOR DAYS.

Then it does the math.

Hey mgbevan, you going to allow this?

http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Shadow_Reaver_(5e_Class)
Or
http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Vampire,_Variant

He he. I love dandwiki.

My goal is to make a fiendish self-sustaining support fighter.

*cough* This might involve tieflings

The D&D Wiki is all homebrewed stuff, and most of it is terribly broken. Since the purpose of this game is to learn how to play it and how the rules work, I don't think it would be advisable to bring in outside material. We should probably keep it 'core only.'

Wait, it's all homebrewed? Well... Crap. Well, it had a gameplay type I wanted to try.

Maybe one day I'll be able to do something like this.

Yeah, that's the whole purpose of the site, in fact. It's one big wiki that anyone can add their own homebrew stuff to.

There is no SRD for 5E, but one can find the basic rules here.

Well, the thought of just -swiping- shadows from people made me laugh.

"Mommy, were's my shadow?"
