The additional paths are only avaialble if you upgrade to a subscription on the site.  What spells are missing?  There is a PHB on the site so they shoudl all be there.  Spells out of expansions may not be.

Did you set your character to public?  Can't see your sheet just that you are there

Up to Nomad

As DM he will have to eithier buy or gain access to the other books that allow you to gain them for your character. Only reason I was able to do that for Steel and Mischief's character Silver was because I am already in a game that the DM gave us access to that info. So I created both in that campaign then dropped them from that campaign and moved both to Nomad's campaign. We are playing in that same campaign Saturday night and I'll hopefully get the info Nomad will need to open up those other spells and skills.

Also was wondering Nomad are we a group thats been together for awhile or are we coming together for the first time? Reason I ask out of the characters already listed I can't help but feel that Nimu's character would be the best fit for party leader.

If coming together for the first time she could be the reason why as she could recruit us fopr some type of mission. Or if we are already a established party she would still be a good leader. Nimu this is all based on your RP in Trilogy and honestly wee have 2 thieves, never good leader types. We have a Cleric, though he could be the leader he is kinda of a front line fighter and then we have me. Steel is a straight forward killer he was built to fight and loves nothing more, except maybe his hellhound puppy, and the only friend he has is Silver sooo ahhh no leader here.

Also have you decided on if you'll allow the Talent Tree Nomad

Just thought to get this out of the way quickly.

Regarding Leader

Dok will probably have a low Charisma buy so that would not make him a good Leader & also if I write what I am pondering Dok has been a hermit for a while, so his social skills may be lacking as a Hill Dwarf

Pay Wall

Okay, I figured out the issue. The missing spells and subclasses are behind a PHB paywall. The book needs to be purchased through the site or the classes and spells can be purchased individually. Cheeky... I don't know if that can be circumvented if someone in the group has it through the site.

Since I'm still working on the sheet it's private, but I'll make it public once it's finished.

I'm good with taking on the leader role, people tend to trust high elves (silly silly)... That all depends on what you all think.

Nimu Leader

Following a High Elf is fine with Dok

I am also rethinking Charisma to make it higher than an 8. but even if Dok has a higher Charisma to exude more confidence in battle, it is Not an indication that Dok should be considered to be a Team Leader

He is still emerging from a Hermitage which will be a part of his backstory

EDIT: I changed his back story so Dok has been spending his past 2 years as a Hired Healer & Protector on Wagon Trains of Settlers & Merchants! Any such Hermitage was for 6 months prior mourning the death of the old priest who raised him & seeking the guidance of Helm the God of Protection regarding the direction for his life!

At the time, the only vision from Helm that Dok received was of a Wagon, hence his becoming a Hired Healer & Protector on Wagon Trains of Settlers & Merchants!

Nimu

I'm fine with her being our leader afterall I am a feminist

Nomad I hope its ok that Tann created my character for me as I had a small bit of knowledge for 2e and absolutely none for 5e. I'll try to play Silver to the best of my ability and I agree with Tann that she and Steel have been friends and partners for quite some time. Though she is still hesitant about his hellhound pup. lol

Questions, Questions

1.  Know each other ahead of time or just getting to know you?  Whatever.  I guess for simplicity sake I'd probably have you know each other ahead of time - your third level and perhaps have worked together before.  Or, if you have read the brief intro, you got together to come to Botkinburg.  But if your'd rather just all meet there that is fine also.  I'll assume you know each other until you tell me otherwise.

2.  Talent trees are ok.  But send me the details of whatever you are doing since I am not familiar with them beyond the quick read I did a few days ago. 

3.  Mischief getting some help with the character - sure, why not? 

4.  Looking into getting things on D&D Beyond.  Haven't had time to look closely.

Dok Character Info

Dok character info has been PMed to Nomad but I am going to need some help [going to take a look at that Tree thing Tann posted about]

EDIT: "No Talent Tree for Me!" exclaims Dok.

@ Nomad & Party

Point Number One: 

Dok has arrived in Botkinburg from beyond the mountains to the east, as a Hired Healer & Protector of a small wagon train of settlers & merchants who are looking for a new start in life!

Couple things I have have noticed from our character creations so far.

1.  Where do we find talent trees?

2.  For fairness we all need to use only those references open to all of us for character creation and not use stuff granted by other campaigns.  Agree?

3.  Under same idea of fair play we all need to be individuals coming together not some new folks and some long time companions.  Pre-established relationships between characters disturb the play balance.

Just thoughts.  Open to discussion or DM guidance of course.

@Keeper

I have to disagree with your third observation as I know nothing about 5e. To not be Steel's partner makes it even more tougher for me to possibly play the game.

I barely knew 2e for lords sake and was the reason I ended up dropping Trilogy as I felt frustrated that I did not get more help from anyone. As DM Tann could not help me as much as he wanted to as he felt that would have been favoritism. 

Also did not Tann say he was going to talk to this DM tommorrow night about gaining access to the rest of everything or whatever was missing?

And all links to those Talent Tree's and D&D Beyond are on the first page in one of his posts if that helps.

Thanks will look at those links.  Tann and the rest of us players can always help you play your character but that doesn't mean the characters have to know each other.  But if you think you think the characters have to be friends for it to work I can go with that.

No Problem

No Problem for me that any of you know each other before arriving at Botkinburg

Dok is working his way to Botkinburg as a Hired Healer & Protector for a wagon train of Settlers & Merchants, after hearing an audible voice from his deity Helm, God of Protection say one word: "Botkinburg"

Trees and such

Talent trees - as was noted that info is in a post by Tann - if you need me to I can send it in a message.  It looks like it is just an option - kind of like expanded feats in the Players Handbook.  In other words, an option beyond just the stat pump you get at some points.  You do not need to use it and it isn't a big advantage.  It is just an alternative for specializing your own character.  Use it or don't, it is up to you.

My next move is to make sure I get Hammer some help and to look over what you guys have up on D&D Beyond.  We are getting close.
