Character Creation

@Cave, you chose the Dueling fighting style for Phillip. I believe that's meant for one-handed melee weapons, not the greatclub and greataxe that Phillip favors. You can still use two-handed weapons, but they would not gain the +2 damage bonus that the style grants.

yea thats why the +2 is on the Javelin, none of the other fighting styles fit Phillip xD

OK, good. My bad. XD

Rolling :) May the dice not be evil.

try this again.. So that is 17, 15, 13, 11, 10, 6...

4d6 - ( 5, 6, 6, 1 ) = 18 =17
4d6 - ( 4, 5, 1, 2 ) = 12 = 11
4d6 - ( 1, 1, 2, 3 ) = 7= 6
4d6 - ( 2, 1, 2, 6 ) = 11= 10
4d6 - ( 5, 1, 5, 3 ) = 14= 13
4d6 - ( 2, 6, 6, 3 ) = 17 =15

We're going to use your first set of rolls because no one else got a second set.

Go ahead and click edit, add another roll of 4d6 to replace that incorrect third roll.

If you're end up with results you're unhappy with, you can use point buy method instead.

I thought the only mistake there was some missing dice, but I see now you mistakenly rolled d4's instead of d6's.

What are you using for buy point value? I looked at previous posting and couldn't find it.

27 points as per PHB. You can use this.

Any idea what you're playing, @Gene?
Please make sure you read the Session Zero thread.

Also, join us on the Discord Server (#the_savage_sea)

I will use the stats rolled. Playing a Female Selkie Level 8 Druid. Circle of Land (Coast). Is that okay?

I have Discord Server loaded now. Strange to use.

Ah. This selkie race is homebrew, I believe. It looks great, but we're sticking to published WotC books + Unearthed Arcana documents.

Might I suggest Sea Elf, and we can call it a selkie. Wouldn't even be game-breaking if we gave you a seal companion.

Picked a female shifter(wildhunt) 8 level Druid (Circle of the land(coastal)) that is a former Road Bandit known as the Red Cloth Bandit. Not sure about her position on the ship, but I'm open to suggestions.

Sounds great! We you have a your character sheet filled, go ahead and submit it.

I might (and I stress, might) eventually incorporate some of the mechanics found in Unearthed Arcana: Of Ships and Sea. If and when that happens, your rank on the ship might affect the game mechanics, but for now it's just for roleplay. So feel free. Currently, only Ian (The Librarian) has taken an unspecified officer's rank. The rank of captain is the only one unavailable.

Crew of the Kestrel
Valrakas, minotaur captain (NPC)
Ian, human first mate (swashbuckler rogue)
Severn, deck hand (NPC)
Jack, human deck hand (fighter)
Khiiral, high elf marine (arcane archer)
Zale, water genasi assistant cook (drunken master monk)
Phillip, human tourist
Grog, dwarven barbarian

Done!

tehee i like that im jsut a human turist :D
it make me happy

We're all headed back for the ship right now anyways.

Gene, I have comments/questions about Doc Nela.

1. How did you get to a WIS score of 20? Highest possible score with point buy is 15. +2 for Wildhunt. +1 from Observant. That gets you to 18. I know you spent the other ability score increase to get Mobile, so where are the two extra points from?
2. When you can, please give her an avatar as described in New GP Member Guide.
3. I see you have the stats down for a hawk familiar and a giant seahorse steed. What's the pegasus?
4. As far as I can tell, Road Bandit is a homebrew background, which is fine - PHB describes how to create your own.
5. Where'd you get this Moon-touched Scimitar? It's not granted by race, background, or class as far as I can tell.
6. No one has magic items yet. You cannot have the following items yet:
2 Potion of Climbing, 10 Marbles in clay with Continual Flame on them, Cast-Off Armor, 20 Potion of Healing (I know you can brew them, but let's start today - meaning you have 1 potion)
7. Interestingly, Grog was raised by wolves so I think you'll have something in common.
8. Can I convince you to not be evil? Her feral nature and indifference towards human life are already a tough fit for this crew's surgeon, but it can still work if you're neutral. To be honest it doesn't matter to me so much what alignment you put on the sheet, but I have concerns about how you intend to play her.

Mind you, these guys are not saints. We're definitely going to do plenty of illegal stuff, and will sometimes run afoul of the law. But we're definitely not bloodthirsty pirates either.

Let's talk it out (all of the above). I want to work with you so you have a character that you will enjoy playing, and one that everybody here will enjoy playing alongside. :-)
