I will be using the Advice Dog meme for certain descriptions, such as the following welcome:



This is what the character sheet looks like:

Name: (what you want to be called)
Armatar: (describe your armatar here; you may get stat modifiers)
Class: (select a class from the below list
Prestige Class:
------------------------------------------------

Strength: (affects your attack and damage in melee)
Dexterity: (affects your defense; also affects your attack in ranged)
Constitution: (affects your HP)
Intelligence: (affects most special powers)
------------------------------------------------
Level: 1

Melee Attack: (Base Melee Modifier + Strength modifier + Modifiers from special powers)
Melee Damage: (1d8 + Strength modifier + Modifiers from special powers)

---------------------------------------

Combat:

When you are in combat, post 5 actions in a specific order vertically. You can use Melee Attack, Ranged Attack, or a special power. At the beginning of a battle, if you have a power that is used before the beginning of a battle, post it before your 5 actions if you wish to use it.

---------------------------------------

Logistics:

Later in the game, I will add and allow prestige classes. When I add prestige classes, I will request a title change to refer the players to the page with prestige classes. For now, up to 6 players may join. When you create a character sheet, I will roll stats, then you need to resubmit your character sheet with where you place the stats and everything else entered properly except for Prestige Class, which you need to leave blank. Make sure to include the modifiers for your armatar.
