Character Creation

  • All Official WOTC 5th Edition races and classes will be allowed except Simic Hybrids, due to their specific setting needs, and Dragonmarked races, as the Houses would be on alert to prevent anyone with one to leave from their sight (much less enter a whole other realm of existence).
  • All Backgrounds are acceptable except those from Dragonlance & Strixhaven.
  • All UA material will be allowed as of this writing (12/28/21) with the exception of the Ranger 2e (Tasha's fixed it to the point of it being acceptable). Any additional material past this date will be subject to review. If material presented in a UA has since been published, only the published material will be valid.
  • 3rd Party material from official publications (Kobold Press, Green Ronin, etc) will be allowed, but on a case-by-case basis.
  • Character stats will be done thru the 27 point buy system. In addition, health will be determined by the average die of your class. After creation, level up your character to 9th level.
  • Gear will use the standard rules for creation. In addition, the player may select a +1 Weapon or Armor for their personal use, as well as one uncommon magical item of their choice. The player also starts with 750gp. Use this pdf to look at the prices for this game.
  • All PCs gain an additional language of their choice at creation in addition to the others received through race, feats, or backgrounds.
  • Characters coming from outside of Sigil’s reach, from places such as Eberron, however, will require travel thru a Spelljammer, as it has its own complex plane system that does not connect to Sigil by any means. A Spelljammer being discovered in Eberron would, quite frankly, cause an incredibly large shock to the system for the entire planet, causing massive upheavals, and quite possibly lead to the start of yet another war to obtain one. Therefore, your travel to Sigil would have to be incredibly discreet. If this would complicate your background story in a way you do not want, then don’t be from Eberron (you can still pick the races from the book).
  • Your alignment is important to this game, and is important to keep track of for reasons that will be made apparent as the game goes on. Alignment shifts can and will be implemented when the need is made apparent.
  • We will be using the Milestone system for xp. At certain points of the game your player will level up, via hidden objectives being met or after certain events occur. This will not occur on a predictable basis, so plan accordingly.
  • Faction roles will be limited one a first come, first serve basis to ensure proper distribution of players. As the player base becomes larger, more slots will open up with these factions. Xaositects will not be allowed as a Faction choice, due to obvious reasons.
  • In addition to the other Factions, there will be a Factionless option to choose from, which will also have limited slots available.
  • We will be using the Renown System for the Factions (DMG pg 21). Each Faction will have their own rewards for them. Points will be earnt through events and other situations. Factionless will also be able to earn Renown for Factions. More details of this will be given in the Renown explanation.

Character sheets are to be submitted to thecagedcity@gmail.com. Make sure your subject line contains your character name and your faction.

Inside your email, please include the following:
  • Your full character sheet. This may be submitted in any reasonable format (PDF, Word Doc, Google Doc link, Dungeon Master Vault link, etc). This sheet must include your purchases and what the free magical item you selected is. If you have any non-WOTC approved items, include links or images of the information within this email, even if I have given you approval prior. As mentioned before, all 3rd Party options are subject to my approval and may be rejected, so be prepared to have to make your character again.
  • A list of how you built your character from 1 to 9. Any format will do, but Dungeon Master Vault does offer a means to just copy it from the Show Selection option. I am flexible with how you display it so long as it has the information I need, though.
  • Your character background. A few paragraphs will do nicely, but the more information you give me about yourself allows me to better come up with things that are relevant to your character in this game.
One you are accepted, you will be given a private forum for you to make with as you will. There you you'll be given a few questions to answer and instructions on how to prepare your signatures.

I don't know how to make it any clearer.

For my own sanity, I'm going to just let you all post your own sheet on your own forum. All you need to do is copy this and post it in your own private forum. I left some stats in there to show you how it should go in this example (just change it to your own when you post stuff).

Any questions, please feel free to bother me.

So I don't forget this again...

If you want a DM-allowed familiar with your Find Familiar spell, you need at least 8 levels in the class of which you are casting the spell for a automatic yes.

Anything else is subject to my whims.
