Welcome to The Daily D6 — A series of randomly-rolled, playable characters/ NPCs compatible with Dungeons & Dragons 5e.
The following character was made using the information listed in the Player’s Handbook for 5e.
I am not affiliated with Wizards of the Coast.

Happy Adventuring!

When playing, there will be times when an ability check is needed to perform an action.

The proficiency bonuses determined by your ability scores make up the bonuses for these checks.

Personality & Background
To flesh out who this character is as a person, you’ll need one ideal, one bond, one flaw, and two personality traits.
Personality
I think we’ve already come to the first character that I’ll be snatching up as one of my own in Terra Ciona (you’re still free to use this as I’ll be adding much more that won’t be shown here).
I’m thinking that this Elf is going to be one of a whimsical, sort of eccentric personality. They can often be found excitedly murmuring to themselves about a new find or discovery, endlessly fascinated by many ways the mind can be tricked.
Background
I could definitely see this Elf as a Sage, but also maybe an Entertainer, or even a Charlatan? There are a few different angles I could see this character going in, depending on the playstyle.
What do you think? What kind of character does this illusionary Elven Wizard strike you as? Would you play this character?
Let me know in the comments!
P.S. — I’ll edit this post later to link to the character that I make with this base!
