Can someone walk me through how to type out the code to do the dice for rolling stats?
 

I’m doing my best still to learn the new website. 😅

@NorthOfOrdinary If you click on results of someone else's roll results, you copy the code and then you can paste it when you make your own rolls.

Name - : repeat(drop(4d6,lowest),6). Or hit the button in the top right of your post that looks like dice and it should step you through it.

You guys rock, I think I got it! Thanks!

Man, I do love rolling for ability scores. I came in loving the game idea but no idea what character to make. My best set is 16, three 13s and two 12s, so very good across the board but no one shockingly high ability score. This has me thinking standard human and one of the classes that draws on a lot of ability scores versus one or two, which is going a long way to inspire the type of character I now have brewing. Cheers!

I rolled a d20 in the Pre-Game Thread expecting anything but a Natural 20. XD

Or...I've found a hack into luck in the dice? LOL.

I did the same, and I may have hacked the "negative luck" of the dice! ; )

LOL.
At least nobody's going to be depressed or saddened from the performance? ^^"

I'm a little confused on the rules for the level 1 bonus feat. Most if not all backgrounds have some feat where you can get shelter or information from characters from your background. Are we substituting those feats, or are there specific backgrounds that don't even have those?

   Those are background features, not feats. Check pages 165–170 of the PHB. There are other feats available in sources such as the Dragonlance campaign book (pp. 31–34), the Eberron book (pp. 22 & 52), Fizban’s (p. 17), Mordenkainen’s ToF (p. 114), the Strixhaven Curriculum of Chaos (pp. 36 & 37), Tasha’s (pp. 79–81), and Xanathar’s (pp. 73–75).

   A couple of backgrounds, such as the Knight of Solamnia background, provide you with a specific 1st-level feat: Squire of Solamnia. If your background doesn’t provide you with a specific 1st-level feat, you may choose either the Skilled feat or the Tough feat.

Neat, thanks.

@Kamishiro_Rin which sources are allowed for races and classes? (It looks like all, buti don't want to make assumptions)
