Hi All - I've never played D&D before, so I hope I created a character that will work! Looking forward to meeting you all on the Trade Road!

Looks good. I see you adjusted the stats to using point buy. But some of the skill bonuses were off. I used the spreadsheet copy of your character (with updated stats) to correct them. Part of the problem is that you had a +2 proficiency bonus adjustment entered. That added an extra +2 to the already computed +2 proficiency bonus, so your proficient skill ranks were too high. You'll want to fix that on your copy of the spreadsheet.

Also, the character sheet above is missing the actual list of spells and the saving throws. I added the spells selected in the spreadsheet, but you had cure light wounds listed twice, so you can select another spell.

I just realized that that means you may have missed how spells work in 5e, which is different than any previous edition. At second level a Paladin can select 3 spells known and 2 spells slots. To cast a spell, you pick any spell known and use a spell slot. This uses up the spell slot, but you still know that spell. If you want, you can use your other spell to cast the same spell again. Thus you don't need to know a spell twice to be able to cast it twice.

Overall, Kelyanna looks pretty good to me. I think she'll be a good addition to the party. And she may have some interesting discussions with Mika about nature vs. civilization.

Technically, Paladins pick prepared spells, not known spells—a relevant distinction, because known spells are fixed, while prepared spells can be changed after a long rest.

[harknail]

Quite correct, like clerics, they can pick different spells from the entire list every morning after a long rest. Still it's a good idea to record your current picks on your character sheet, then edit your character sheet when you change them.

Hey, wellcome im playing a half elf too .

I kinda wonder if its cool if possible, if maybe your character is related to mine but we dont know it yet. Dak is trying to find his birth parents.

She might have one parent in common or possibly or maybe be a cousin like Supergirl is to Superman only we dont know it yet.
