Can I be a bearded NPC? Not any particular one, but I think a beard is necessary, no matter who or what I may portray, even or actually especially if a beard makes no sense.
Beards tell the best stories.

thanks friend, i've got a few ideas I"m sorta mucking around with - am sure I'll come up with something!

lol currently playing a space/time wizard that is a sentient three toed sloth with a cowboy outfit and a shotgun in a GBS-based rpg

also have a two headed troll who is a mad doctor obsessed with adding additional body parts he steals to build himself into a monster/dire troll in a discord game that is on hiatus

and had a giant (4 metric ton) half duergar fighter/weaponsmith with an Aussie accent (Underdark = down under) but he died and due to odd circumstances became a small homunculus that is now a familiar/translator to my sloth character.

so i'm sure I can figure out something fun and hopefully interesting!

e: also cool pic

well I got a lot of 17s and 13 I like having weaknesses in my characters so I kind of hedged into a jack of all trades outlook. Like my card is pretty solid 17 17 17 15 13 13 13. I think I'm good for whatever gets thrown at us. If phase 2 is assigning them then I guess I'll re-evaluate with that info but this seems pretty solid to do anything but run away or win a trivia competition.

okay good, we get to skip the phase of everyone laughing at my technological suckitude! I'll write the full results in just for fun.

STR: 18 (6 6 3 6 5)

WIS: 15 (2 6 3 4 5)

DEX: 15 (4 6 1 4 5)

AGL: 15 (3 6 6 2 3)

CON: 12 (6 4 2 2 1) ---> reroll the 12: 18 (6 6 1 6 5)

PRE: 15 (5 2 3 4 6)

Starting to look like a (very lucky) fighter type and who am I to argue with a RNG?

Might just leave as is to make a tactically savvy warrior or could swap out INT and DEX to make a bit dumber but gooder at hitting things, not sure yet.

e: Or go something completely different, those rolls might make a good weed druid or something... gonna have a smoke and think about this.

Too much work. I'm going to use a D20 system I've been using since way before that was even a term. It's system a friend of mine and his buds came up with around 45 years ago that I started using around 30 years ago that bases most rolls (combat, skill checks, saving throws) off a 20 sided die roll, with DM bonuses awarded for creativity and opportunity positioning, for example.

A blank sheet of paper for a character sheet will be fine.

Everyone use a 5th level character as a guide using the D20 system in use today, with regards to skills and that sort of thing.

I found this website that helps out nicely with character generation

https://www.d20pfsrd.com/basics-ability-scores/character-creation/

I'm easy. Post what you want your character to be, look like, and have equipped- be reasonable with your requests and you'll almost certainly get the items you want.

Be creative, maybe your character at 5th level DOES have a vorpal weapon, i'll RNG it to see if you do. If I roll a 1 though, Alnilam or one of our other guests may very well be swinging your sword for you, and that could be bad for the rest of the party!

I'll be going into more detail about rolling and saving throws and such when we get to the next phase, which may be tomorrow or Monday.

It's an old fortress outside of Marshport, in the Swamp of Shame, in the Eastern Kingdom.

It's part of a world I made up many years ago that I still use today.
Marhport is all the way to the East on the map. Yes that IS Minas Tirith to the West, in the North. It took a lot of magic and a poo poo ton of lucky rolls to make that happen, I ran a campaign where Sauron got the Ring, and Gandalf the White took a last stand with Aragorn and his children (played by friends) who came up with the idea of transporting the entirety of 3rd Age Minas Tirith (along with 10,000 First Age Elves from Gondolin just before the Fall (they were going to die anyway, right?) and now my world has Minas Tirith, with a contingent of First Age warrior Elves, and of course the Avatar of War because Phillipe, a literal living Wand of Wonder, "found" a walkie-talkie that communicates with the Creator of the Universe.

The Creator found Phillipe, who is a Halfling- to be amusing and funny (and Ron, the guy behind Phillipe) rolls ridiculous, so 20-20-20/99% I think were the rolls) got him a walkie-talkie that communicates with the Creator. Who then sent the Avatar of War to help out the world after a major demonic invasion, because they needed all the help they could get. The Avatar of War dwells there, so Minas Tirith is... you guessed it! Mars Red... yeah, weed and D&D is fun!)

You are a 5th Level Mad Artificer. You can make things on the run. Your imagination is your spell book, a 20-sided die your laboratory. You have to roll a 12 or higher on a D20 to do most things, with bonuses awarded to that roll depending on the situation and your initiative rolls, etc.

You have 55 hit points, and an AC of -3. This is more for my notes, don't worry too much about it. You're going to blow up. A LOT.

You look like a pangolin, you are in fact a Draconid/Halfling hybrid, with 2 arms, 2 legs, and an armadillo back.

playing around with builds

if possible was going to base the insect dude on platymeris laevicolis, the red eyed (or red spotted) assassin bug



or maybe psytalla horrida, the horrid king assassin bug



or some combination of the two looks but definitely an assassin bug - leaning towards something more like the red eyed for full venom craziness but like the look of the horrid king.

was also wondering about the possibility of a magic item that increased the effectiveness/ability of his venom darts (thri-kreen literally make their weapons out of solidified venom and sand) to effect things like damage/poison resistant opponents? not sure if that's even necessary though, i'm not terribly familiar with 5e and what is immune to poison and/or sneak attacks

Alright.

Instead of a magic item, you have a natural ability to produce a secretion to coat your darts with, 6 per day from your saliva. It wears off in 24 hours, so you need to reapply each day.

Opponent must save vs. poison or be stunned for one round.

Big spider pet works for both a serious combat focus and slapstick bar fight style, I always hedge my bets with a new group.

The 2 was a sort of situation roll, ie: were there any spiders around when you wanted one?

The answer was apparently "no".

But your request for a spider was heard, so one showed up anyway; of its own volition.

She's a large black tarantula, with lots of hairs all over her body. Just the perfect color to hide in the shadows of a dungeon...

She will add 1 point to your initiative roll, among other things perhaps- because she will warn you of danger.
