Racials:
Ability Score Adjustment: Your ability scores each increase by 1.
Size: Medium.
Speed: 30 feet.
Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common and one extra language of your choice.

Class Features:
Unarmed Strike. As a result of your training with martial arts, your unarmed strike is considered to be a finesse weapon that deals 1d6 bludgeoning damage on a hit. Your unarmed strikes are considered to be magical for overcoming resistance and immunities.
Ki. Your training allows you to channel energy, called ki, to create supernatural effects, including dazzlingly fast attacks and blinding speed. Your access to this magical energy is represented by a number of ki points. When you spend a ki point, it becomes unavailable until you complete a short rest or a long rest.
Flurry of Blows. When you attack with your unarmed strike on your turn, you can spend 1 ki point to make an additional unarmed attack as a part of the same action. You can decide to spend this point after seeing the result of the previous attack.
Supreme Flurry. At 2nd level, on your turn, you can spend 1 ki points to give yourself advantage on all attacks you make during this turn.
Slow Fall. Beginning at 2nd level, when you take damage from a fall, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage you take from the fall by an amount equal to your monk level. If you spend 1 ki point, you instead reduce the damage by 5 times your monk level.
Step of the Wind. At 3rd level, your speed increases by 5 feet. You can spend 1 ki point to increase your speed by an additional 15 feet until the end of the turn. When you spend this point at 8th level and higher, you can also move along vertical surfaces and across liquids until the end of the turn.
Fire Riposte (Fire). When you take damage from a melee attack, you can use your reaction to spend 1 ki point to channel a tongue of flame at the attacker. The attacker must make a Dexterity saving throw. It takes fire damage equal to 1d10 + your monk level on a failed save and half as much damage on a successful one.

Feats
Fencing Master: You excel at fighting with a single weapon. You gain the following benefits:
• You gain proficiency with martial finesse melee weapons.
• When you are wielding a finesse weapon and another creature hits you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to add your attack bonus to your AC, potentially causing the attack to miss you.
• Once on your turn when you use your action to make a melee attack with a finesse weapon, you can make one additional attack with that weapon, but all of the attacks that are part of the action take a –5 penalty to the attack roll.

Background: Commoner
Trait – Salt of the Earth: Since you come from the ranks of the common folk, you fit in among them with ease. You can find a place to hide, rest, or recuperate among commoners, unless you have shown yourself to be a danger to them. They will shield you from the law or anyone else searching for you, though they will not risk their lives for you.

On the edge of insanity, but it'll pass ... just this once.

@Arch: Actually, hang on a moment. In all seriousness, I was going over all the rules and stuff and it seems like they're using different rules for that pre-generated character (Dwarven fighter), which it looks like you may have used when creating your fighter (just guessing.)

e.g. the fighter class in the "Classes" PDF doesn't get action surge at first level, but instead gets a fighting style. I'm guess that pregen was part of an older rules set and just hadn't been fully updated for this playtest yet even though it says they all supposedly were.

@everyone: I'd make sure you check your guys if you're using anything from pregen characters as a template just in case. Not trying to be a rules lawyer or anything, but I want to make sure we're all on the same page so I can also give accurate feedback to WotC and there's no confusion during our game.

Also, the question about what to do with "lore" section of the character sheet came up. From what I've read, that's a holdover from the previous playtest edition. Skills such as "arcana", "nature", and the like have replaced those.

Thanks!

Fixed.  I think.

Alright, cool, thanks for taking the time to do that.

My character has an origin story now. I'm hoping you'll do something with it during the campaign. It's on the same google doc, just scroll down. I also reorganized things to be more neat and compact.

Okay, I see it there. It does say that your sheet is scheduled for deletion when I go in to it - make sure you don't lose it.

What? That doesn't make any sense, it doesn't say that when I open it. You sure it's not scheduled for deletion from your temp folder or whatever? Anyway, I made a copy, you have access to that too.

Yep, that's what it's saying. As long as you have a backup it should be okay I'm hoping.

Ooh, now I get it. I Was getting super pissed that the changes were taking too long to save once, so I copied the whole thing to a separate copy and renamed it to replace the original. I tried making a copy again when I heard about this, but apparently google docs doesn't save or remember who was able to access after clicking the link. I'll PM the new link to you.

Bardic Performance: You are a master at magically manipulating others through oration, music, and other special performances. You start out knowing two such performances: Call to Battle and Inspire Competence.
To use one of these magical performances, you must speak or play an instrument as an action. Maintaining the performance requires concentration, as some spells do (see the rules for magic). You can switch to a different performance by taking another action. The whole effect, whether it is composed of one performance or several, can last no longer than 10 minutes, and it ends early if you are silenced. You can’t use this feature again until you rest for at least 10 minutes.
A creature can be affected by only one of these performances at a time. If two or more bards try to affect the same creature with such performances, the creature is affected by neither.

Background: Minstrel
Trait – Noted Performer: You can always find a place to perform, usually in an inn or tavern. At such a place, you receive free lodging and food (within reason) as long as you perform each night. In addition, your performance makes you something of a local figure. When strangers recognize you in a town where you have performed, they typically take a liking to you.

The Bard:

Ah, didn't know you were going to be playing! In that case it looks good to me and myself.

There's a house rule that all bards spontaneously combust at odd-numbered levels.

I acquired a headset microphone. I owe some people some favors now but eh, whatever free is free. I haven't had a chance to test it yet so hopefully ambient sound isn't an issue.

All bard party? I think so.

Is it "Sorangina", or is "Totally Awesome Sister" your powerful familiar on loan from a witch?

Now that we have two bards, they're going to have to sing a duet together. Here's what they should sing: http://grooveshark.com/#!/s/Tribute/3RsQVq?src=5

It is the greatest and best song in the world so I'm game. I suppose I could also do Wonderboy or Fuck Her Gently. Love the D.

Class Features

Divine Sense
As an action, you open your awareness to the divine. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any celestial, fiend, or undead creature within 50 feet of you, regardless of any intervening obstacles. Within the same radius, you also detect the presence of any place or object that has been consecrated or desecrated.
Lay on Hands. You have a pool of healing power that replenishes when you take a long rest. With that pool, you can restore a total number of hit points equal to your paladin level times 5.

Lay on Hands
You have a pool of healing power that replenishes when you take a long rest. With that pool, you can restore a total number of hit points equal to your paladin level times 5.
As an action, you can touch a creature and draw power from the pool to restore any number of hit points to that creature, up to the maximum amount remaining in your pool. Alternatively, you can expend 5 hit points from your pool of healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it. You can cure multiple diseases and neutralize multiple poisons with a single use of Lay on Hands, expending hit points separately for each one.
This feature has no effect on undead or constructs.

Proficiencies

Add your proficiency bonus to attack rolls you make using martial weapons and simple weapons (included in “Attacks”). You also add your proficiency bonus to ability checks made to use mounts (land) and your skills (noted in “Skills”), as well as to your Constitution and Charisma saving throws (noted in “Ability Scores”). You also have proficiency with all armor and shields.

Oath: "There is no greater good that doesn't start small."

"Believes in balance, but not in compromise. In his view, every great problem that plagues the land is no more than a collection of every little cornet cut, every little lie left uncovered, every "necessary evil", that amass upon themselves and spiral into a swell of filth that you must then add to in order to survive, until the whole world just eats itself and collapses into it's own waste. This Paladin has vowed to protect people from both harm and corruption. Believes that a people must be strong of mind, capable of self-determination, confident and informed; which supersedes any notion of stability or prosperity that may be imposed upon them if it's at the cost of their basic rights and duties. To him, there is no such thing as committing evil for the greater good, no matter how subtle."

So basically he's like a Turian with his policy on work ethic swapped out for his morality. No matter what, they always have a stick up their ass about something.

We should get along fine....
.... .... .................

Well, think Klingon. Most Klingons you encounter live their Klingon-ness like it's some sort of religion (We are the space assholes, Qapla'!), and you can tell they'll be outraged if something comes to threaten it. Others, however, truly live it as their own nature, are confident in it and actually seem to enjoy it (General Chang, K'ehleyr, Kahless).

Which will this character be, i guess it'll be up to you all to judge.

The people are mumbling, but the vote goes through.
