Hey there,
Thank you so much for doing this mini series.
I am autistic and the char sheet felt like a huge overload but the way you have explained it has made it seem simpler.
Thank you!!
Glad I could help!
I have never related so hard to a person before.
@@vascosacramento3391 same, even on the autistic part
This series made it a lot simpler to create a sheet! Without a guide it seems like a daunting task. I'm in the process of creating a human fighter who's fresh off the farm! He's modest and easily intimidated, but aspires to follow in the steps of the heroes that once saved his small village.
Inuy sounds like barris
BARRIS!!!!!!!
1 year later, how'd it go? did you get a chance to use him?
Aegmar, from Skyrim!
Wait isn't that the most used sheet
anyone who is making a character that does not wear armor can calculate a base armor class by taking 10 + Dex Modifiers. have fun
Unarmored Defense is 10+Dex+Wis
@@ImNeverAnonymous Isn't unarmored defense only for Barbarian?
Well yes the Barbarian and the Monk do have the Unarmored Defense. For the Monk it is 10+Dex+Wis as ImNeverAnonymous said, for the Barbarian it is 10+Dex+Con. For other Classes that do not have the unarmored Defense Skill the AC without Armor is 10+Dex. Hope I could help.
Ok good becuase I was wondering what to put becuase I'm making a character with the wizard class so there's no armor so I should just put 11 as my armor class becuase I have a +1 dex. Modifier
@@hollowdestroyer4220 In 5e, I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure you can wear armor. I might be wrong though.
Half-Orc Wizard with such an appreciation of the cycle of life that he has become a Necromancer so the dead can still help the living.
I wanted to thank you so much for these 4 part video series. I've had the hardest time grasping some of the basic rules or forgetting them. Something about your videos really made them click! We start our campaign tomorrow and I feel ready! Thanks a million.
@Jacob Treuer cool
Dude! That’s a TERRIBLE IDEA; HaVe YoU nEvEr SeEn The JuRaSsIc Park SeRiEs?!?! 😂
Boy can't wait to play as Jar Jar Binks.
I will join this crusade
Oui
See the skills section always baffled me but the way you explained it made it all so simple Thank you so much!
Just to say this series is amazing! I am DMing for the first time and this was great to not only understand everything but also to better be able to communicate how to create a character to my players.
Glad it could help Andre!
watched the whole series I can't believe how helpful it was.
Thank you so much, this video helped me a lot. I made my first character a Human Rogue and this video made creating him much easier than I thought it would be
I'm trying to create a human Rouge too!
I have made an Elvish rogue who has a high dexterity but low health. Because of all of his powers he has some high skill modifiers like +7 acrobatics and +7 stealth!
Omg completely same here
interesting ii feel i did something wrong but ths helped
Two years have passed. What happened to this mighty hero?
Rouges and elves can take zero hits... (personal experience)
@@pixelcat5725 The evasion ability is really funny.
DM:"roll to dodge the meteor swarm"
Rogue: I pass
Dm: *starts rolling half the dice*
Rogue: AHEM
Dm: *sighs* "you nimbly dodge out of all the 40ft meteors, which decimate the landscape, while remaining unharmed"
Good shit Mark. Super easy explanation to follow, helped my new players a ton. Keep it up mate!
Glad it helped! :D
Mark, this was bloody lifesaving for me THANK YOU.
My character is basically Cam Buckland's sister (because Cam always stood out to me SHHHHHH don't judge me) She's a female rouge whos as gay as they come, she's a Caravan Specialist who after being banished from a village were her love was decided to just roam the world so her girlfriend (an elf who taught her elvish) stayed safe. Her hair is full of braids of different styles from people she has met.
Love it!
I LOVE THESE VIDEOS ! They are so helpful for new players like me :D
Thanks! Glad they are of help to people! :D
Thank you so much for this! I know it's been a lot of time since you uploaded this but I just knew of it 'til now and I can't be more grateful, I'm a Spanish-speaker who wanted like a year ago to make a character on D&D 'cause it seemed fun but I couldn'tbecause I didn't knew how to fill all the blank spaces in the character sheet, now that I've seen this little series of yours doing a character and explaining everything so...easly, I've finally made one! It's a Drow Rouge lvl1, I had luck and it even has good stats :D! Thanks for sharing this way to complete the character sheet again!
Thank you so much. I'm so used to DMs just screaming "Read the handbook" when I have a question. It's so nice to get a better understanding of what everything means!
This is the clearest, best series ive seen on character sheet making. it's so easy and simple to follow. great job and thank you!
You are my DM role model. Your work has inspired my world so much.
Awww thank you!
“I don’t want her to be a two weapon fighter” ......... “Let’s take two hand axes!”
I realized I could get four daggers from the warlock equipment and decided that my goal was to collect as many daggers as possible just so I could do the thing where you take out an obscene amount of weapons from increasingly weird places
This series literally saved my life. 😂 I was so confused and overwhelmed as a first time player but your calm and clear instructions made the process enjoyable, thank you! :)
A Wood Elf monk who is suspicious of magic and who rejects magic. Haven’t played in over 30 years, so your series was a help getting back into it and understanding all the new stuff
I just wanted to say thank you for making something as intimidating as Dungeons and Dragons, and making it clear and easy to follow. This is by far my favourite tutorial series and it's helped me so much
Thank you so much for posting this series! I had so much fun making my dark elf fighter!
Thank you SO MUCH! Tonight, I meet with a group to create my first ever D&D character! For 4 decades I’ve been reluctant to start because it all seemed so complicated, but I decided to make the plunge a few weeks ago. Finding this series right before actually doing it has made me feel a lot more comfortable about what I’m headed into. I’ll let you know what I create :-)
Bugbear druid with an obsession with watching the stars and drinking ale
Best guide on youtube. The book and most other guides were not making much sense to me and now I feel like i have a much stronger grasp on what is going on.
As a newcomer to DnD, this series of videos was SOOOOO HELPFUL. Thank you so much for your clear, concise, and thoroughly comprehensive explanations! For my first character, I'm making a Triton Ranger with a background in Archeology! 😆
Haven’t played in 30 years, getting ready for a campaign with my kids and you helped out soo very much! Thank you!
Thank you so much for creating such a concise guide! I've been wanting to give D&D a go for a long time but creating a character always felt more stressful than doing my taxes and my friend (who has been playing for ages) doesn't always remember that I get very overwhelmed without breakdowns like this.
So thanks again!
I had my first game session of DND tonight because of you and the rest of the wonderful people of high rollers getting me into it. aside from a gnome with a high libido and a power complex enforcing him after the tallest thing he can find. and a dragon born druid who didn't realise that the person behind the bar was the person to ask about getting a room and a drink. it was a pretty smooth run through of the starter campaign. thank you again, many more happy memories to be made with my friends thanks to all of you! I put this on the high rollers vid but figured you were more likely to read it here. thanks again!
I found your character development incredibly fascinating. A Fighter that has Strength as their lowest Ability Score-so counterintuitive! The idea of using a well thought out backstory of your character to determine their Abilities really brings that character to life. Thanks for opening my eyes to a more realistic way of developing a character.
First time i fleshes a character out completely in a character sheet, I made a Lizardfolk Barbarian! Thank you so much Sherlock Hulmes for helping out!
Up until two days ago I had very little idea as to what I was doing, but these videos helped out IMMENSELY. Thank you for these wonderful, educational vids!
This series is SO usefull for new player such as myself. I first looked at the character sheet and thought i would never figure it out, you explained so simply, but informative and it helped me create an interesting character, thabk you so much m8
I attempted to make a character for pathfinder about a year ago and just ended up so confused that I was really nervous about trying out DnD. however, your video series has helped me so much and I have now successfully made my first character, a druid half-elf and its inspired an entire story that quite likely will end up written as a novel at some point. Thank you so much for doing this series, I actually feel like I can play confidently now :)
By far the best videos on how to create a character really easy to understand, as a newby myself you make it very easy to follow can’t wait now to have another go at making a different character. Thanks Sherlock.
This series definitely made me understand the character making a whole lot easier, im an wooden elf ranger who grew up in the outskirts of the kingdome!
Thanks for this, I've always wanted to get into D&D but the character creation seemed a bit overwhelming.
You seriously helped me. I've played tons of games of d&d as a player, and I'm teaching some new players, as a DM, and they've all made great characters.
This was incredibly helpful. It cleared up some questions I had about proficiencies and bonuses.
Finally lol, Love the vids Mark. Keep up the good work mate!
Sorrrryyyyyy
Tabletop Weekly mark, please do a spell sheet video as I am really confused by it.
Thanks
Goodness this helped so much!!!! Made a half-bugbear ranger who wants to explore the world! Very happy with how she turned out thanks to this~
Thanks for the series. Some things may be confusing while you were making the series, but I probably wasn't paying attention, so I'll just watch them again. VERY HELPFUL!
Super helpful series. Clear and detailed with an entertaining gentleman to guide us through. Beautifully done!
Look forward to having a go at creating a very interesting, but entertaining character of Gnol Izril, the Dwarven Sorcerer (with a low-level multiclass barbarian.) Found inspiration for his story from high rollers and can't wait to find a game to put him in action.
Thanks again Mark! Never stop inspiring us to join you in this wonderful world of which you have such vast knowledge.
Thank you very much for this I haven't played in almost 20 years this was a huge help and it will help my wife and 10yr old daughter create one as well thank you again
I created a Tiefling Rouge who's quick witted but a bit of a butt to everyone
Thanks Mark, I was going to make the major NPC's in the game I'll be running soon as if they were players, so now I can listen to this playlist and just start mass producing them
These videos are amazing. I like them because they explained each part in a very thorough way and you also described things other videos don't, so you answered lots of questions I had. I'm going to start playing soon for the first time, I'll be DMing for my friends who are also completely new to D&D, so all this info is crucial. Thanks for all your hard work!
Thank you so much for this series. I had started creating two characters already, but this series helped me understand the sheets when the book isn't clear. I have a Human Bard and a half-elf Rogue.
Many Thanks for the videos, being new to DnD this is all so daunting and i couldn't have filled a sheet without this guide. I'm trying to DM for the first time to my friends who are also all new to the game so i've gotta learn quite a bit to help them out with their character creation and questions.
This was super helpful! I'm a first time D&D player and the sheet looked so foreign to me. Thanks to these videos I was able to follow along in the videos and handbook to make my first character. I'm a half elf bard. I hope she does well. 😊
Thanks to you, I was able to create my lovely Tiefling Druid, Survith Talron! Thank you so much for this guide :)
I’ve been playing D&D since 1980. I used your 4 pt series to teach a new player (and myself) how to create a 5E character. Excellent videos. Well done mate.
This series will be a life saver, High rollers and Critical Role got me into DnD and now I'm starting a game with my mates, nervous to DM. really looking forward, putting together a pretty cool little quest for them, but just wanted to say thanks for explaining what seemed like a daunting task so well
My husband and I just watched all 4 videos, I was so confused doing it by myself! With your help we were able to make our characters! Mine is a Tiefling Warlock and his is a Mount. Dwarf Paladin! Thank you so much!!!!
this was so helpful! just getting into dnd and making my first character, welcome liliana, a slyph sorceress!
Thank you so much! Just helped my son create his first character - a human, folk hero, fighter.
Wow !!! its taken me two years after buying the starter kit to get interested. Been on shelf having looked at the paperwork and just thought "I known let's wait for the film to come out.
Now I am raring to go even went that little bit more and brought the Players Handbook, to fully get involved and one day I may be as good as you DM.
Keep up this excellent work and inspire more people.
Thank-you for making these videos. Me and some friends have just started learning the ropes of D&D and this was perfect for me to create my first character: Orgoc the aggressive, Half Orc Barbarian!
Alright...
I’d like you to meet: Eiphan Vunderbilt, the Shadowborn Bard.
Thank you so much. I've spent many many hours and watched countless videos searching for this information. This video series was absolutely perfect and exactly what I needed!
this series was amazingly helpful. I still consider myself new to d&d even tho i have made a character before i had mostly forgotten. you helped me create my dragonborn cleric who was orphaned because dwarves nearly wiped out his clan when he was young. he was adopted and raised by priests before they were wiped out by raiders.and now he is in search of a new family. he is now distrustful of both dwarves and humans. he blames himself for losing his "clan" twice so he pushes himself to be strong enough to defend his next family, if he can forgive himself enough to let people close to him again.
Thank you a lot Mark. I now know how to properly make a character sheet. I made a wood elf ranger with your help.
I just created my first character using this guide in conjunction with the DND Beyond App. Thank you so much for this comprehensive information. Cheers!
this has been super helpful to a first time player like me! it really made creating my character easier. i now have a half-elf fighter, who was an apprentice blacksmith who is on a revenge mission to find the man who ordered the murder of her teacher!!
Absolutely invaluable as a group of tutorials. I was absolutely lost and would never have been able to create a character sheet without it. I created Erador Galandriel; a wood elf whose class is a Ranger and strives to avenge the murder of his hidden elven city. An army of giant spiders and undead destroyed most of the city and killed his parents. Thanks again for the tutorial!
This series is so incredibly helpful. Clear and simple. Thanks.
Used this for my first character. No classes or subclasses really seemed to play the way I wanted the character to play. Managed to create a custom homebrew class that’s a combo between a ranger and the storm/sea sorcerer subclasses for said first character. The fact that it didn’t turn out as a complete clusterfuck means to me that this was an excellent explanation of the character creation process.
This video is beyond useful! Seriously, I wouldn't have done it without your assistance! So well explained. A BIG thank you from me!
This was honestly one of the best videos I’ve watched when it comes to making a character, so thank you!
Years later, but thank you for these videos
This helped me so much being a first time DM and helping my first time group build there characters for the tomb of annihilation campaign
Thanks for making this so in depth, I followed everything to the letter (which is usually hard for me as I'm thick as pigshit, when it comes to following instructions) and I've finally done a character sheet that doesn't look like it has been sat on.
I've left a like on all parts and I'll definitely recommend this video series to anyone who wants to learn.
This series helped me so much I was so confused on what to do but this really helped
First time dming 5e. This was a great help so i can help my players with their first characters
I made a mountain dwarf called Arva Copperbottom, who aspires to be the best blacksmith in history!
I enjoyed this video twice, I needed extra help or listening skills to complete my character. The info was straight forward and great to watch. I designed a half elf Druid . I also created a gnome, I really wanted a gnome before I watched this video, so your info was awesome ! I am new to D and D and hope to make it to the hobby shop tomorrow night to play in a campaign
Thanks Man after being into warhammer for quite some years now this was an amazing guide. Ber Beakdancer the clumsy centaur bard is coming
Thank you, this helped me work out the bits I was getting stuck on. Making my Kenku Rogue for the first time and there's so much stuff to think about!
This is such a helpful series, thanks! I’ve made a stout Halfling Monk who is a Guild artisan. I’m about to play in my first ever campaign and I’m so excited! Thanks again for the helpful tutorial!
Absolutely love your videos...love the way you explain everything...Thank you so much!
Thanks for the clear and detailed walkthrough of character creation!
Based on the book The Swordmage: A True Arcane Half-Caster for 5e, I have created a badass Fire Genasi Battlemage.
There will be asskickings. Plenty of asskickings.
This is amazingly useful! My friend's and I are just starting out and we used your videos to get started. I am a Half-Elf sorcerer that loves deceiving people, and my other two friends are an orc barbarian, she hasn't finished her background yet, and an Aarakocra Ranger who is starting a cult. The videos were extremely helpful we had read over the pages a few times but couldn't figure out how we were supposed to be getting some of the numbers. Thank you, soo much for making these we had tried 3 other videos prior and none of them helped.
Just made Hanson the ‘Hawk’. An Elven Rogue ninja! Thanks for the tutorial!
Thank you Mark for this brilliant and information tutorial. I bought the game a few days ago (first time dnd after baldures gate 2 :D ) and created my first character in a few hours. I looked up your tutorial to understand some details and as a check if I did everything right (86% was right).
Hope, you keep up this channel! It is great!
Thanks very much! :D
Very helpful series. Made a mountain dwarf soldier paladin. Thanks for sharing.
I'm currently making a D&D class called "Monster Hunter", it's Witcher inspired and this series helped me clean up what I needed to make it. I'm very new to D&D and I don't see myself leaving D&D anytime soon. Thanks Mark!!
it took me 4 hours to get through this series, but thanks to you I do now have a Tiefling Bard called Grin who is quite stupid but very good at stoytelling! He wants to travel the world to collect, write and tell stories about heroes, princesses and fairies
Great series mark! Will be showing the new players these as they are super helpful. The D&D empire will expand with people like you doing what you do! Keep it up!
thank you! your series is the first i found that made this process seem easy
This series was so helpful thank you. With it I made a human Saladin of lawful neutral with a drinking problem due a monster attacking his home village and killing his loved one.
Thanks for making this series, it made the process of making a character much easier! I used this to make a Dragonborn Fighter.
This set of videos has been a life saver. Thank you so much for making these!
I am 4 years late, but this video series is still super useful, thank you!!
this was so useful and easy to follow. thanks so much for making these videos. we’re a new group playing dnd so this is going to help everyone at the table get the idea of character creation real quick and easy 😊😊😊
This video helped me so much man. Couple of friends have been wanting to do D&D for ages, but had no idea. I watched this video and made Leoenidas Swordhand, the Half-Elf Ranger abandoned by his human father after finding his wife had eloped with an elf. They read my sheet and apparently have now all said they're gonna watch this series to get theirs done. (:
I made a Dwarf Paladin and without this video Darrak Frostbeard would cease to exist! Thank you so much.
I made a High Elf Wizard seeking power through magic and politics to avenge his family's name! Btw, thank you so much for this series, you just made getting into DnD so much easier! Now to try and explain all this to my boyfriend...
I made an infant who crawled into a corner, all balled up, and wailed in agony over the amount of information given! Will my character grow up? Will my character progress? Who knows. It's a crap shot!
Wonderful series! It really helped out with parts I was a bit gray on. Thank you for making it!
Thank you so much for this! It really cleared up my confusion about the process.
Thank you!!! You saved MY LIFE!!!
I HAD MY ORIGINAL SHEET, THEN IT DISAPPEARED. so i barely knew what to do, and I followed this so thank fuck.
