For today’s character creation challenge I am returning to Beyond the Wall and other adventures. I have a real fondness for bards so I have chosen the Local Performer playbook for this character. I am making the character female and giving her the name of Juliet Nightingale which sounds the kind of name a local performer should have. Right, lets get her rolled up.
Her Charisma (Cha) starts at 12, all other stats begin at 8. She gets +1 Int from the character to her left which would be the previous character I created, the Self Taught Mage.
