Please use this thread to communicate specifically about character creation. I included everyone who expressed interest to see how it goes for now. I’m aiming for about 6 or so active members.
For character resources anything published by Wizards of the Coast is okay!
In addition Curse of Strahd allows these additional backgrounds.
Follow up with me if you need help. I’m looking into using dndbeyond as a source source for character sheets. If my friend doesn’t come through, I’ll purchase a handful of the source books in dndbeyond to make the process easy.
Mukk was considered to be cursed from birth. When his mother got sick he became enraged when the priest said there was nothing he could do to help. Mukk believed that the Priest was intentionally being unhelpful due to Mukk’s supposed curse. When his mother died from the sickness Mukk confronted the the priest and killed him on the spot in the ensuing struggle. Upon the spilling of the priests blood Mukk was bound to the Priest’s staff and must carry it everywhere he goes. If he destroys it the staff appears once more, unscathed and spotless as if mocking Mukk. Mukk has been tortured by recurring nightmares that could be caused by the Priest or by guilt itself.
you have something listed as “Staff of Withering” im assuming that is your staff from the priest. But it can’t be an actual magic item for combat purposes. I would probably get some type of greataxe or sword.
You start with the following Equipment, in addition to the Equipment granted by your background:
(a) a Greataxe or (b) any martial melee weapon
(a) two handaxes or (b) any simple weapon
An explorer’s pack and four javelins
Use your character’s equipment in the phb. No rolling for gold. Only gold is from background.
