TRINKET (ROLLED 44) -Mechanical canary in a gnomish lamp   Profeciencies: Light Armor Simple Weapons   Features and Traits: Darkvision Fey Ancestry    Personality Traits: -Listens to every side of an argument before judging -Speak slowly when talking to idiots (everyone)   Ideals -Power   Bonds: Sold my soul for knowledge, hope to do great deeds to get it back.   Flaws: Most people scream and run from a demon.  I stop and take notes on its anatomy.   That's what I've got so far.  I know I'm missing something (other than spells, they're giving me some trouble as well).   Also, if I can get lucky and make it out to one of the shops for a Wednesday night game (closest is 20 miles away and starts roughly 10 minutes after I usually get off work), will I be able to use a premade character, or will whatever DM I get paired with want me to roll a character right there?   Thank you for your time, and any help is appreciated.

Also, you don't get the gold AND equipment from your class/background. You get either or. For AL you can take the max gold for your class and buy your equipment piece by piece, keeping what you have left over. You can, of course, choose to take the equipment provided by your class/background instead.
