2022 Character Creation Challenge - Day 4

Browsing other posters' contributions to this challenge makes me realize I need to step up my game with the post presentation.  Hopefully, tomorrow will see a change.

Back to AD&D today - there was something about flipping through the PHB's pages that stuck in my mind.  Anyhow, I'm using the same rolling process as on Day 2, and get: 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17.  I don't even have to roll three sets of stats this time.

That 17 means a potential Paladin, depending on other class requirements.  Other requirements are 9, 9, 12, and 13.  This set meets these numeric requirements, so I present to you:


Uriah Heep the Gallant, LG Human Paladin 1 

S 16 +1 damage, +350 weight, open doors 1-3, bend bars/lift gates 10%

I 11 2 additional languages

W 15 +1 saves vs magical attack

D 9 none

C 13 System Shock Survival 85%, Resurrection Survival 90%

Ch 17 max henchmen 10, loyalty base +30%, reaction adjustment +30%

Current XP: 0    XP to next level: 2,751

AC 2

HP 8

Languages Known: Common, Dwarf

Abilities:

Detect Evil 60' distance

+2 to all saving throws

immune to all disease

lay on hands, 2hp/lvl 1/day 

cure disease 1/week

permanent protection from evil 1'' radius

Equipment: plate armor that shines like justice, sword, lance, horse, unwavering sense of right and wrong, standard adventuring gear

Goals: establish a beacon of light in this dark world, through leading by example; eventually lead a crusade against the worst of the world

Flaws: thinks humans are redeemable, so will often try and talk before fighting; will accept surrender and offers of parley, even if suspicious of a trick

For the record, I am indeed listening to whichever Uriah Heep songs Alexa is choosing, mostly from the Demons and Wizards album, it seems.  Give it a listen, you won't be disappointed.
