Dungeons & Dragons, 5th Edition: Thelana

Dungeons & Dragons is what got me into RPGs, and it remains the best game of its kind. More people play D&D than any other tabletop game, and just last month, Wizards of the Coast released 5th edition, perhaps the most balanced, streamlined version ever made. Here is my first character sheet for 5th edition, Thelana the ranger.

BACKSTORY: Thelana is born in the river valleys of Ilmarinen, the middle child in a family of twelve. Her eldest brother, Borz, is sold into slavery when she is very young. As the dark hemisphere continues to creep eastward, the resulting famine forces Thelana into the wild. Her life is spent on the edge of survival, hunting for prey while hiding from predators. Wounded by a cannibalistic half-man, she is rescued by Captain Dantes and taken to a nearby military encampment, where she proves her archery skills and is recruited into the Kratan army. Years pass until, on the Plains of Narth, their forces are decimated by the bogren and horg, and Thelana, torn with longing for the life she knew, abandons the battlefield. In Ilmarinen, she finds the crops and ilm flowers have withered. There is no trace of her family.
