Lore: A long time ago, a powerful sapphire dragon created an entire emipire built out of psionic power. Despite the fact the sapphire dragon was very powerful, such a creation put the sapphire dragon into a very deep sleep. Things were going well for centuries, but sadly, even in an empire of psionic energy, there was quite a few problems. There were wars over who would rule it. One day, elf named Niriro took the throne. Now, the empire is at a stage of peace, but like many things at peace, they don't stay like that forever...
Anything except homebrew is allowed for character creation. For ability scores, choose standard array, point buy, or rolled stats. If you choose rolled stats, roll them on this thread. Roleplaying is encouraged, but I won't pressure anybody about it. This campaign takes place in a homebrew world. As the title says, make a level 20 character. Use the format below.

Sandon is good at talking to people, and at having absolutely incredible magic. Utterly out of control when he was younger, it’s now power unbridled.

Thanks for bringing that up. Everyone also gets 400 gold and any uncommon magic item.
Wow. OK. So screw spellcasters then (that'll cover maybe a few spells, at best). Even the martial classes get nerfed - no decent armour, for them! (Plate armour for example is 1,800 gp). I was expecting something closer to the DMG, so I could choose the more interesting spells. Well that's 3 ideas I had completed scrapped. I guess I'll see what I can make that avoids all M components costs.
Is there a reason for our Level 20 characters starting with almost nothing?

Bullying your DM before you even start the game is maybe not the best move.
That aside, yes, top level characters would presumably have top level gear as seen above. And casters do need costly components.
I expressed disappointment and confusion at an unexpected decision that severely hampers my options for most wizards I would be likely to make. And I asked for clarification on that decision. This is not bullying.

Personality: Fenro finally settled on the outskirts of the city. Sure, he has travelled and seen things, but them for mortal danger was over. With a king set in place, things were setting up nicely for a dozy century or two - wouldn't that be nice? Watching a storm pass from the balcony, pleasant conversation with customers and sizzling meat over a fire under the summer's stars. He would cherish these days, and defend them if he has to...
WIP, when would you like characters to be finished?
Character name: Magron Hammerstone
Class and subclass: Artificer (battle smith)
Race: Mountain dwarf
Background (Guild artisan): Born a smith in the mountains, but when he learned how to channel magic through his tools, and was accepted to the Smith's guild, he left his city. Since then he has travelled the world adventuring and perfecting his craft. Learning how to perfect is equipment; fighting against all kinds of evil. Starting with killing wolfs and other monsters that were making roads hard to travel by. To clearing cellars and graveyards from the undead while finally taking on the big monsters. Killing a dragon that focused his power on a farm, killing a undead priest that had put his lair in one of the mines. All with different groups of adventurers, never taking on these tasks alone to ensure he would complete the task ahead. Finally, after killing another dragon that hunted a town he was given a house, with forge and everything he needed for his craft, he met a good gal and he settled down; however he always feels a bit restless here at his quiet home...

Ability scores: 15815161012
Personality: Despite his dark past, Calanon tends to try and have a social life but never does tend to get close to others as he spends most of his time on the road. He tends to have a serious outlook when it comes to his chosen profession as a hunter of the vile creature that changed him into what he is. This tends to mean he has little patience for those that are only out for money or their own personal glory, feeling that they have the tendency to do foolish things.

Okay, instead of 400 gold and 1 uncommon magic item, everyone gets 15,000 gold, and 1 very rare magic item.

Character name: Grom Molnii
Class and subclass: Storm Sorcerer 18/Tempest Cleric 2
Race: Protector Aasimar
Background: Acolyte
Ability scores: above
Personality: Very stern and serious. Grom is a man (half angel? demigod?) on a mission and he takes it extremely seriously. No time for frivolity and socializing, the fate of the realm and its people depends on him, and he intends to not let them down. He wears a conical hat such as a poor person might wear against the rain, and his clothes almost but not quite conceal a suit of medium armor. In his hands is a plain-looking wooden staff which actually brims with magical power.
Working on a character idea now. The game really breaks at level 20 - how cheesy do you want the characters to be? Is "prep time" before the start of the adventure allowed?
