All you have to do is copy and paste the character sheet. I do not want you to change it to be in an order that makes more logical sense. It is in the order it is because it makes it easier for me to then go back and put your character sheet into the actual D&D character sheet that I'm using. I will post an explanation on how to fill out the character sheet for those who are unsure or new to D&D. I will also be posting my character for those of you who would like an example to follow. This probably will not be until tomorrow. If you want to get a jump and fill out what you can now, by all means, you can always edit it later. Do NOT put your CS into the character tab until you have received an acceptance from me.

I work today but should have more updates later today.

Starting level will be level 3 5th Edition. This will be a dice rolling light version of D&D. Any players who know answers to the new comers questions are welcome to answer if they are so inclined in my absence.

Will any or all of the subraces in the PHB be allowed? What about the class archtypes/paths/traditions/etc.?

Much like a video game, the higher your character level the more experienced and powerful your character has become. Hit Points (character's life) increase every level, ability scores increase at certain levels, you gain new class abilities, and more spells.

Link to 5th edition Classes

Of course, we'll have to wait and see what @Game Maker's CS for this game will look like and what info we'll need to provide because this will be "dice rolling light" so a typical D&D CS may not be needed.
But here's an example of a 5th D&D character sheet can look like.

@CajunRobinHood@Divine Darkness

For new players who have any questions feel free to PM me or ask your questions directly here. I'm still figuring out how I want to do the character sheet as I typically use and would prefer to use the form fillable PDF that is available (I'm not sure how I can get that to players without e-mailing it to them directly which I have no problem with but players might). I can send anyone who needs it a link to the 5th edition Player's Handbook that will tell you a lot of information about how to play, races, classes and other game mechanics. It won't be entirely informative as our D&D campaign is set in a world entirely of my own invention (from a novel I'm writing). There are races in the player's handbook that are not allowed in this campaign, mainly Tieflings. The subraces of all the races I have listed as playable are allowed.

One of the ways this is dice rolling light is that combat will be more story like than in a traditional D&D campaign. For example:

Your party is attacked by a group of bandits on the highway who want to steal your money. There is the bandit leader and three of his cronies who have closed ranks around you.

Traditionally this would play out as:

DM/GM: Roll for initiative.

*players roll their initiative to see where their turn in combat is*

Bandit Leader: The bandit leader had the highest initiative and gets to attack first. His attack roll is successful and he attacks Dalothuil MagnificentBeard, the dwarven fighter for 12 damage.

How it will work in our RP:

Dalothuil MagnificentBeard: Seeing they were surrounded, Dalothuil pulled his axe off his back, spitting on the ground with rage that these bandits would dare to try and steal from him and his friends. With a running leap Dalothuil sank the edge of his axe deep into the armor of the bandit leader whose only response was to sneer wickedly at the dwarf before throwing him off.

Dice rolls will still be used to determine character stats and their ability to pass certain in game checks like a charisma check. For new players who aren't sure what that means:

You're in a tavern eating dinner, waiting until tomorrow morning to start out on your quest. A drunken man knocks you off your stool, spilling your ale all over you and sending your plate of food that you had not yet touched flying. The drunk pulls you to your feet before shoving you back, telling you to watch where you're going. Deciding he doesn't like the look of you he towers over you, he's clearly much larger than you.

If you wanted to attempt to calm him down and leave you alone without a physical confrontation you would roll a D20 (a 20 sided die that you can use an app for if you don't own an actual die) add your charisma modifier and hope it's a high enough roll that the drunkard mumbles something to himself about you not being worth his time anyway and stumbles off to bother another patron in the tavern.

I just added the classes. I have just a few minutes left on my lunch so I probably won't get anything else added until I get off work in about 4 hours. I did want to add that players who saw my original interest check have asked if they can play as things that were not mentioned. I determine this on a case by case basis. For example, I have a player who wanted to play as a Revenant but from a previous edition of D&D. I allowed that. As GM I reserve the right to not allow something for any reason. I'm pretty laid back and very rarely will I flat out tell you no as opposed to trying to come up with something we're both ok with. One flat out thing I said no to was a type of D&D character (that I can't recall the name of) but I wasn't familiar with the concept and was not comfortable GMing a game with material I wasn't familiar with at all. Please don't hesitate to ask, I won't bite. The worst case scenario is I say no but I will generally try to work with you.
