I'm playing in a 5e campaign from next week, and I find 5e can be dull and uninspired. So I left it to
this generator for my 5th level starting character...
Marigold Silvereyes is a halfling barbarian, a war orphan who was good with her hands and left empty and angry by the war.
I rolled 16, 13, 12, 10, 7, 7 and decided to put the 16 in STR and use her halfling bonuses to bump DEX and CON to 14s. Not too shabby, but still with two dump stats to assign I decided to take CHA as the better one as I already had Persuasion from Guild Artificer and thought Intimidate might be fun from the Barbarian skill list. Tough cookie. I also took Athletics so I could run, jump, and climb trees as well as bully monsters.
