Character Creation
Online Character Creation Instructions (3.5) Last Update 03 /13/06
Contents
Basic Instructions
1. Decide on a concept for your character. This includes designating your class, race, etc. Send this to your DM for approval. (You should have received his email address with your welcome message. He should also have contacted you. Also you should have received our current address list with your batch of information.) Your DM will approve, disapprove, or begin a discussion with you concerning your concept until you come to an agreement we can both be happy with.
2. Use the standard method (roll 4d6 six times, ignoring the lowest dice, totaling the other three, and assigning them to an ability score) from the PHB3 to roll your ability scores. Once the Woldian Webmaster sends you your ID and password, go to the Games Page and then to the Loot & Booty Board. Enter that board, log on and make a post saying that you are rolling your ability scores. Say hi to everyone while you're doing this. ;) The dice buttons are pretty self explanatory.
3. Next, send your DM an email noting these things: a) the arrangement of your ability scores and b) any changes you wish to make to your character concept. Your DM will look at these things and send you an email in response.
4. You may then flesh out your character, using D&D 3.5 Rules, following the example form below as precisely as possible, as it applies to your character. You can buy PHB 3.5 stuff on your own. Your DM can approve it on your sheet, but do list the costs on your character sheet at least the first time so that your DM does not have to look up your PHB3.5 supplies and do the math. It is evil to make people do math. For any magic items you wish to buy at the start from the DMG3.5, you must shop on the Catacombs Message Board near the top of the Games Page.
5. At the bottom of the character sheet, write a BACKGROUND LEGEND for your character. This will appear online for everyone to read so write it as you wish for it to appear. See the section entitled Adventurer's Repose below for more details on how to lay this section out and what details to include. Send this sheet in to your DM and you're ready to play. Your DM may ask for some changes, when she or he scrutinizes the character, but that can come after you begin to play. After the character sheet if officially approved, send your background to the webmaster. Your DM can give you his email address.
Detailed Instructions
-- The Taur (centaur, minotaur, liontaur (wemic) races have been approved. These are available only on a case by case basis and must be approved by both the Campaign DM (Jerry), and your game DM. We do not use subraces, except as a role-playing device. All members of a race receive abilities etc. as described in the PHB.
-- All characters, including monster classes, begin at 1st level unless the DM states otherwise. (There are special "House Rules" for monster classes so that they are not more powerful than the other races.)
-- The following weapons do not exist for use in the Wold: kama, katana, nunchaku, sai, shuriken, and siangham. Monks in the Wold are proficient with the following weapons: club, crossbow (light or heavy), dagger, handaxe, javelin, kukri, quarterstaff, sickle, and sling. Monks may use the following weapons when making melee flurry of blows attacks (not ranged attacks): dagger, handaxe, kukri, quarterstaff, yand sickle.
-- 1st level characters receive maximum starting money. Characters beyond that are given a starting amount of gold from the Game DM.
-- All characters begin with 1 Hero Point. See your 3.5 Online Combat Guidelines Document for more details on Hero Points.
-- 1st level characters receive maximum hit points. When rolling for levels after the first, you may re-roll all 1's. Hero points may be used to re-roll hit points, but only at the time of the initial achieving of the level, not weeks later. See your 3E Combat Guidelines Document for more details on Hero Points.
-- All characters must be original to The Wold. They cannot have been used at some other time or in some other campaign.
-- Priests must worship one or more Woldian Gods. Only the Gods of Wold are available for worship without permission. If you want to worship one of the Gods of Testing you must have special permission from the Campaign DM. These are listed on the website at www.woldiangames.com/cathedral
-- All characters must be good in alignment unless special permission is granted by the Campaign DM (Jerry.)
-- Please consult the latest version of the other online documents often for other rules that can affect your character once it is in play. It is up to you to take advantage of what is there at http://www.woldiangames.com/constabulary/
-- As your character advances, please list his or her "hit points trail": i.e. the number of hit points rolled at each level. Otherwise your character will lose the maximum possible if hit by level draining creatures or devices.
-- Starting characters whether 1st level or higher, must use only the 3.5 Players Handbook. Alternate sources for characters may NOT be used with Woldian characters. You may visit the Oshirr House section of the website for original Woldian material which you may use with your character. After your character is created, you may visit the Black Genie Center Message Board and work with fellow players to develop original material for your character and others.
-- The following DMG Prestige Classes are approved for Woldian play:
Arcane Archer -- available unmodified Arcane Trickster -- available unmodified Archmage -- available unmodified Assassin -- NOT available (NPC ony) Blackguard -- NOT available (NPC ony) Dragon Disciple -- NOT available (due to uniqueness of dragons in the Wold) Duelist -- available MODIFIED (because the Wold does not use initiative) (See Jerry for what the mods are) Dwarven Defender -- available unmodified Eldritch Knight -- available unmodified Hierophant -- available unmodified Horizon Walker -- available MODIFIED (for use with the pacifistic LG monk organization called Walkers) Loremaster -- available unmodified Mystic Theurge -- available unmodified Shadowdancer -- available unmodified Thaumaturgist -- currently under redevelopment for post DFR use

Example Character Sheet
Here is an example 3rd Edition Character and Sheet. When you detail your character, please follow this form as closely as possible. No character sheet is perfect. Neither is this one, but it is formed correctly enough for your kindly DMs to follow. It is helpful for all sheets to be of the same format when you deal with 70+ players as we do. We kept it very generic since our players have differing programs available for word processing. Please ask if there is a notation you do not understand as we are always trying to make this document more exact and helpful.
Also of importance is the format of the character description at the end. You will need to follow this format when submitting your details to the Adventurer's Repose.

Staff history: "Next we have Ingrge Nightseer. For you Roscoe has a staff. Apparently it is a good fighting staff (+3), but it also can protect you while it is in your hand (+3 ac, resistance and deflection). Roscoe is also certain that it has other magical properties as well, but you will have to discover those over time." Roscoe stands up and whispers something to Mycroft. "Oh, he tells me that he has discovered one of its powers. It will cast the spell "color spray" when you hold it and say shade-in-hue. Ingrge later spent quite a bit of cash to find out more about his staff and was told that it could actually learn spells taught to it and then could cast those spells twice per day. The staff can learn up to ten spell levels of spells, in varying combinations as long as the total does not exceed ten levels and as long as the spells are not higher than 4th level. Once a spell is learned it cannot be replaced until the ownership of the staff changes. Spells are cast at a caster level of 12.
Spells known by staff (all illusion school spells)
- Color Spray - level 1 (shade-in-hue)
- Rainbow Pattern - level 4 (rainbow shield)
- Mirror Image 1d4+4 - level 2 (copies-of-me)
- Displacement - level 3 (shift-to-side)
Ingrge's Staff of Casting This is a beautifully crafted ironwood staff etched with a quicksilver inlay and capped with a mithril foot and topped by a mithril fist. (Base Cost 550 gp.). The staff gives its wielder an attack bonus enhancement of +2 to melee, and while in hand has a defensive bonus to AC and saving throws, of +2 as well. Due to its quality construction and the magic contained within it, the staff weighs less than it appears, weighing only 3 pounds. Moreover, do to its special construction and marriage of wood, quicksilver and magic it is highly resistant to damage, having an armor class of 15, 20 hit points, a hardness of 10 and a break DC of 30.
Special Abilities: Spell ability (see above, but similar to a ring of spell storing) Protects the wielder from any attacks that cause extra damage. (In game terms, the bearer of the staff cannot be flanked, and is immune to critical hits. He is still susceptible to a thief's extra damage if caught flat-footed, or in a situation when he would lose a DEX bonus.)
Caster Level: 12th; Prerequisites: Craft Staff, Craft magic Arms and Armor, Ironwood, Imbue with spell ability, Shield of Faith, Resistance. Total price 81,150 gp.
Masterwork base cost 550 gp Armor bonus 3,000 gp Deflection bonus 3,000 gp Resistance bonus 3,000 gp Weapon bonus 3,000 gp Imbue with spell ability 9,600 gp Hardness enhancement 5,000 gp Spells (command words) 54,000 gp Total Cost 81,150 gp
Ingrge Nightseer Character: Ingrge Nightseer. Player: Kent Lewis. Campaign: Emerald Kingdom. Classes: Mage / Fighter. Race: Wood Elf Gender: Male Age: 275 Height: 4 ft. 6 in. Weight: 135 lbs. Hair: Coppery-colored, shoulder length
Appearance
Ingrge is a fairly typical looking wood elf with fair skin and light emerald eyes. He is very stoutly built and yet he moves with a grace that belies his bulkiness. He is normally found dressed in gray colors that have a tint of green in them. From a distance he has all the fairness of appearance typical of the elven folk, but when approached one sees the facial scars left by some past horrific wounds that did not heal well.
He wears leather armor of the same color and a gray-green hooded cloak over it all. At most times, a bandolier of daggers peeks out from the opening of his cloak and the pommel of a rapier is at his waist. At his back is hung a bow and quiver of arrows. Always at hand and most often in hand is a beautifully crafted ironwood staff etched with a quicksilver inlay and capped with a mithril foot and topped by a mithril fist.
Personality
Due to his early childhood traumas, Ingrge is very reserved when dealing with those he considers friends, though he is extremely faithful and protective of those he now considers his family. Normally as dour as many a dwarf, Ingrge is a grumpy pessimist, given to fits of brooding and mild depression. Due to his early years he has never learned to be very comfortable around the same group of people for any length of time, and has a difficult time forming attachments of any length of time. At the same time he is soft-spoken and extremely gentle with children of all kinds and will put himself in danger to protect any child.
Intrigued from an early age about the whys and how of everything, he puts forth extreme efforts to learn all he can about as many things as possible which oft times leads to his not making very wise choices, but did lead him into his study of magic, which he is exceptionally talented at.
History
I am told that I must write a history about myself, so that people might come to know me. In truth there is little to tell that would be of much interest to anyone. My life has been pretty boring, but I will make the attempt.
I guess my story should start back as far as I can remember, so I will start it from the day I was found. Yes, I said found, for I truly remember nothing before that except for vague memories of my mother and a small village. I was found at the very young age of 8, which is extremely young for a woods elf, along side my dead parents, by a group of Folbre's tavern maidens as they were coming south to aid in the running of his inn, in the Tree of Parting. I don't remember anything about my parent's death or even what might have caused their deaths. The maidens brought me to the Inn, where, Folbre made the decision to take me in. I was always very quick-witted, very nimble. And while trying to be helpful around the inn, I tended to be underfoot a lot. You would think that being exposed to the excitement of a famous inn would be a never ending source of entertainment for a growing boy, no matter what race, but I tended to be a loner and some what morose. Many children tried to befriend me, but none wanted to be around someone who did not want to play. As I grew, I became more withdrawn and sullen and what friends I had managed to acquire over the years wanted little to do with me. Finally after living for 30 years at the Inn, Folbre decided that they were not going to be able to care for me any longer. Having made this decision they sent me northward to an enclave of elves, in the Culver wood, for integration into elven society.
Back in the North and surrounded, totally, by my own kind (sort of), I went about the daily grind of becoming a functional and beneficial part of elven society. This, for me, was not an easy thing to accomplish. There were still times where I was extremely morose and the elves just didn't understand how this could be. I did, however, manage to make a few lasting friends and like all youths we got into normal troubles and scrapes. But, I must admit that, more often than not I was the instigator of these events. It seemed as though I was always looking for trouble. And usually I could find it. As I grew in to adulthood it was obvious to all that my talents lay in both the arcane arts as well as the martial ones. After many years of studying magic and weapons, and several forays against highway men and such, for which I gladly volunteered for, I was chafing to do something new ... anything as long as it was away from there. So in my 75th year, when my instructors allowed that I was ready, I packed up my few belongings and headed back south to the only place I ever really considered his home. I headed back to the Tree of Parting and Folbre's Inn.
Of course, like the best, laid plans of mice and men, I was unavoidably delayed in my arrival at "The Tree." As I was making my way southward towards "The Tree," and traveling through the Emerald Kingdom, I came across a liveried individual beset upon by three poorly armed bandits. While holding his own against two of them, I could see that he was about to have a turn for the worse as the third bandit was cranking up a crossbow. So being the cranky individual that I am, and being one who is always looking for a fight, I quickly strung my bow, notched an arrow and fired, all in the time that he was cocking the crossbow. Having always being outstanding with the longbow, my arrow took him square in the throat. As he gasped and fell, the messenger, bleeding from several wounds, thrust his sword through one of his opponents. The third, realizing he was now out numbered, fled. As I approached the messenger, he fell to his knees and died. Not knowing what else to do, I quickly went through his things finding that all he was carrying was a note of some import from someone calling himself Parnoth of Emerald City. I buried the messenger where he fell and set about returning the message to this Parnoth individual, so that the message could then be sent to the proper recipient. Gods! If only I had known then what I know now, things would have been different. Upon arrival at the city, I located a gate guard and pulled out the letter, so as to gain entry, in order to return it to the writer. Almost immediately upon viewing the letter I was surrounded by several guards and hustled off to the palace and placed in a room with several other individuals and told to wait ... Sometimes I wonder how things might have turned out had I not intervened in the messengers struggle.
Since that day things have gotten more than a bit interesting. I have become a member of an adventuring group now known as the Talons. They may be the first group of true friends, no make that family that I have known.
Anyway, back to my story. We met with the Ruler of the Emerald Kingdom, The Green dragon known as Parnoth, where we agreed, with little other option, to perform a "favor" for Parnoth. We were to search for two groups within the borders of The Emerald Kingdom without his blessing: The first, a religious group known as the Hands of Love and the second, a couple of travelers who go by the names of Grey and Joe.
Parnoth gave us the ability to awaken a powerful beast to aid us in this quest if needed or necessary. Of course, things are never so simple. An underground group who oppose Parnoth, known as "The Tines," recruited us as well. The Tines wanted us to find The Hands of Love before they caught up with Joe and Grey, whom The Tines claim to be heroes and great enemies of Parnoth The Green. We went by river-barge to the easternmost edge of the Emerald Kingdom and a place simply known as "The Tree of Parting," hoping to arrive before The Hands of Love. They however had laid an ambush along the river so the battle was joined. Eventually we found Joe and Grey and just as we did, the Hands of Love attacked yet again. Eventually we won the day and we all got to see Joe meet with his dead wife Claudia (but that is an entirely different story). We also managed to get ourselves exiled from our own land, and under a penalty of death. We all went to Plateau City, met and dined with the Gold Dragons.
However, all good things come to an end, and we were informed of a horrid disease that was afflicting the elves of the Emerald Kingdom. A vaccine was found, but there was a catch. They needed someone to deliver it. Of course we volunteered to go back and save our people. We delivered the vaccine and then the Tines found us once again. They needed someone to break into Parnoth's High security prison and breakout an important member of the Tines that was being held prisoner there. This of course led to us being imprisoned again by Parnoth after we rescued his other prisoner. It seemed like every time we turned around, there was Parnoth wanting us to do another small favor for him.
This time there was some problem with one of his dwarven mines. Of course, we were to go and fix whatever the problem was. When we got there we found that some wizard had cooked up some magically enhanced beetles that were killing the dwarves and slowing down the mining. The bonus was that these beetles were also producing a special metal that the dwarves used to forge a sword. We also met and lost members of our party here. We added Bertram to our family as we lost Dakar to some madness.
Since then much else has happened. Domi is dead and we are once again doing something for Parnoth. It seems there is a new God in town named Marteus and we are to infiltrate his temple and rescue several prisoners from there. It is very likely that Parnoth will be the death of us but I guess we will have to wait and see.
Well that is just about everything that hasn't already been recorded by the scribes for the archives. I hope I haven't bored you all to death but then again I warned you.
Appendix 1: The Adventurer's Repose
Once your character sheet has been approved by your DM, you will need to send your character description to the Adventurer's Repose. You can either send these details directly to Carl White, or to your DM who will forward the information on to him.
Please follow the format outlined below when creating the details for your character sheet (Appearance, Personality and History) and Adventurer's Repose entry (Character, player, campaign details etc, and Appearance, Personality and History)..
Character: Obvious, really. Your character's full name, as well as commonly used nickname(s). Player: This is your full name. No email addresses please. Campaign: Just the campaign name. Classes: Don't include levels please. Race: Gender: Age: Height: Feet and inches please. Weight: And weight in pounds. Hair: Include color, cut, facial hair etc.
Appearance
This section is the key to how other players will see your character, so please try to make it as complete as possible. Essential things to include here are features, build, skin color, clothing, armor, weapons, key equipment, and overall appearance. You might want to include how your character moves ("clumsy as an ox", or "She moves with a grace and elegance that belies her 22 stone frame"), if they have any distinguishing features (scars, tattoos, body piercings, missing limbs etc), and anything else you think will help other players conjure an instant mental image of your character. Please complete this section in prose rather than points. An example of how it might read can be found on the sample page (link below).
Personality
Here you need to cover such intangibles as Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma, but try to do so in a manner that doesn't simply read "He is clever, not very wise, and of average charisma". How does your character relate to others? Are they reserved, chatty, an optimist, pessimist, a practical joker, a dour servant of a grumpy God or a drooling village idiot? What are their beliefs? Their motto? Do they have a particular creed they live by? Does they have pastimes and interests outside of adventuring? What motivates them, makes them angry, or sad, or happy?
History
Your character's back story. Detail how they were brought up, key events in their early lives, significant figures (family, friends, foes), how they came to join with their current party, and if applicable a brief summary of their adventures so far with the party. Some will want to really flesh this section out. You can write in the third person, the 1st person, as a tale told by a wandering bard: be informative, but have fun if you wish! Try to write something that you will be happy to leave as your character's back story for the foreseeable future.
These are the mandatory sections. You can also add optional sections, for example to give details of an animal companion, or a description of an alias for characters that operate under assumed identities.
For an example of how you should complete the details, take a look here:
