Might not get to the character build until later this week. Just got back to work after a vacation and now I'm sick. :(
Nov 4, 2015 3:39 am
Yeah, and since I don't get sick days that means I go into work feeling like crap.
Nov 4, 2015 4:06 am
I'm gonna try to have a char done today or tomorrow, but it's iffy, and then this weekend and every weekend this month, I'm not home. I'll do my best to post as much as possible.
Nov 4, 2015 4:09 am
Weekends are rough for me too, the whole wife and 3 kids thing, you know? Lol
Just post when you can, and there no rush on the characters

I'm assuming they're fellow prisoners? If they're in the same cell(s) as us, it'd be good to have that guide. How much interaction would we have with them?
By the way, did the drow do anything to prevent my character (half-elf sorcerer) from casting spells? I'm not familiar with inhibitors anymore.

Nov 5, 2015 12:04 am
Yes, all of these individuals are fellow prisoners. You are all kept in the same cell, so you can have as much interaction as you'd like to have had for the amount of time you've been captured. They've all been there longer than you.
The cage you are in is an anti-magic zone and there are always several drow looking for an excuse to beat you down when you're out of the cage working, so you, by necessity, avoid magic use.

Hauling barrels of water, operating a lift to a lower level, cleaning, emptying chamber pots, laundry, washing dishes, etc.

I'm having way too much fun giving information here, especially since you're not gonna be there forever
Nov 5, 2015 1:48 pm
You may post and interact with the other prisoners but there are still 3 people who have to submit characters, so it's not time to start in full yet.
Nov 5, 2015 3:47 pm
No worries, I just wasn't sure if you were continuing to set the table, or if you were expecting us to contribute right now. I was going to wait until everyone finished their characters, so I at least know how long each person has been in shackles.
Nov 11, 2015 9:13 pm
I'm beginning to wonder if our great and wonderful benefactor (Keleth) has abandoned this game?
Nov 11, 2015 10:48 pm
He's probably busy, what with the upgraded sight and updated site. Plus, I think he's at a convention.
That said, we could have his character be newly-captured and introduced later.

Yah, sorry, I'm working on the char. Between being on the computer less thanks to the Lasik, and needing to finish extra work with the con this weekend, and today being Diwali (an Indian festival preceding the Indian New Year), time is in short supply!

Are the characters ever freed from their chains while working? Do we know if the guard carry keys for them or anything?

The chains are never removed. It is sometimes hard to work. The guards carry keys, but you don't know if they are for the chains or not

About an hour into your work duty, Mai'ngor spills a bucket of water, which splashes on the seated drow. They stand, furious, and approach him, "Damn slaves need to be careful," he says before drawing his sword and slapping the Tikbalang on the hindquarters with the flat of the blade. The other drow laugh and the sword-bearing drow slaps him again, this time drawing blood. The guards are all watching with amusement and the quaggoth slaves keep their heads down and stay out of the way.Nov 20, 2015 7:29 pm
Yeah, I rolled randomly for who would be the one to get hit. I'm really curious to see how this goes!

If Mai'ngor's disarm attempt succeeds can he toss the sword over to Elfog in the same turn?

I believe Keleth has a lot of plans this weekend, and we're just waiting on his actions before I start the next scene.
Nov 22, 2015 3:18 pm
Oops... Will correct for someone else. Hard to folks between driving and wedding stuff. Any suggestions on who needs freeing?
Nov 22, 2015 3:22 pm
Among the PC's only Mai'ngor and Xeliss remain bound.
Elfog will probably want to free Eldeth, and Hunter will no doubt want to free Stool. There's also the possibility that if we abandon any of the NPC's they'll turn us in. :-P

As I'm still pretty tired from a fun but long weekend (and ironically, a long month...), can someone help me figure out how may more rolls I need to make to free everyone else? I'm not good at the thinking right now...

I'm debating how many I can free without them making a fuss when I run for it. Obviously I'll free Xeliss, because you know, in character reasons that totally have nothing to do with him being the only PC left...
Nov 23, 2015 6:41 pm
Also, just noticed that bug that making a note isn't leaving a small box saying a note was sent (because in a tabletop game, its not really viable to send a note to someone without someone noticing). I'll work on that.
Nov 24, 2015 2:57 am
Are these two guards armed with anything besides their hand crossbows? Scimitars, maybe?
Nov 24, 2015 2:58 am
They each have a short sword and some armor as well. I apologize, I never actually stated the weapons like I meant to. The post has been updated to properly reflect this.
Nov 24, 2015 3:17 am
Well, there are still 10(!) people who have to go before the drow gets his turn. He's probably down for good!
Nov 24, 2015 7:13 pm
Just a friendly reminder: there's still a drow guard on the ground here at the cell door. Prone, but still in fighting shape. :-)
Nov 25, 2015 5:10 pm
Yeah, Hunter's first priority was getting her and Stool out of that anti-magic cell, plus she didn't want to block off the entrance dealing with the still-alive drow guard. Sorry about that!

OPTIONAL RULE: FLANKINGIf you regularly use miniatures, flanking gives combatants a simple way to gain advantage on attack rolls against a common enemy.
A creature can't flank an enemy that it can't see. A creature also can't flank while it is incapacitated. A Large or larger creature is flanking as long as at least one square or hex of its space qualifies for flanking.
Flanking on Squares. When a creature and at least one of its allies are adjacent to an enemy and on opposite sides or corners of the enemy's space, they flank that enemy, and each of them has advantage on melee attack rolls against that enemy.
When in doubt about whether two creatures flank an enemy on a grid, trace an imaginary line between the centers of the creatures' spaces. If the line passes through opposite sides or corners of the enemy's space, the enemy is flanked.
Flanking on Hexes. When a creature and at least one of its allies are adjacent to an enemy and on opposite sides of the enemy's space, they flank that enemy, and each of them has advantage on attack rolls against that enemy. On hexes, count around the enemy from one creature to its ally. Against a Medium or smaller creature, the allies flank if there are 2 hexes between them.
Nov 26, 2015 6:28 pm
I just picture this mass surrounding the drow like in a bad kung-fu moving. Everyone making uncoordinated attacks that he easily counters until there's just a ring of dead bodies surrounding him.
Nov 26, 2015 6:33 pm
Not using flanking simply because being surrounded by enemies is already a tremendous handicap!

I don't think there's a way out through Ilvara's tower, but we weren't given a detailed description since we didn't do a thorough search. I figure if we survive Ilvara's tower, we might find something that could help us against the demon.
Or maybe we can attract the demon into Ilvara's tower and let the two of them settle their differences! Assuming Ilvara is there, of course.

No, there is no way out through the tower. You may find treasure in there, though.
The only ways out are the lift (which require an operator to lower you down) and down the waterfall to the cavern floor.

Just so I have enough perspective to make my decisions, where are we on the map, and where's the demon?
Dec 2, 2015 7:46 pm
You are just past the point where the narrow ledge below Ilvara's chambers (6-8) widens out. The demons are in the center of that large open area south of the lift.
Dec 2, 2015 8:02 pm
Ah, thanks.
For the party, I'm inclined to go back to Room 6-8, as I am not equipped to deal with a demon and will be extremely ineffective. Hunter will go along with what the party decides, though, given that there's relative safety in numbers.

Dec 2, 2015 9:01 pm
I agree with CancerMan. It's a rock and a hard place. Priestesses or no, the threat of a demon would probably force us to retreat to the nearest shelter. In this case, Ilvara's tower. Dun-dun-duuuuun! :-D
It would be interesting if we could get Ilvara and the demon to take each other out as CancerMan suggested hehe!

As mentioned, all I know is we have a spider in the temple place, but I suspect its not a normal spider (I'm guessing we're talking about a large spider, right GM?)
Dec 2, 2015 10:07 pm
So it's a choice between fighting our way through a vrock, two lycanthropes, and the drow guards to get to the lift, or fall back to the tower, fight drow priestesses and a giant spider, and hope that if we survive, by the time we come out the vrock will have taken out the lycanthropes and all the guards... :-D
Dec 2, 2015 10:09 pm
To be fair the drow guards around here are all dead :) lol
It's just one Vrock, c'mon guys! And it's been wounded too.

How big is Stool? As a sprout, I'm assuming small, but is he small enough to carry like a toddler?
EDIT addendum: And for the lift, when it requires an operator, does that mean someone has to control the lift from somewhere else, or can it be controlled from the lift itself?

Hmm... About Mai'ngor. Rage requires that you use strength for your attacks to maintain the rage. Being that Mai'ngor is a dex based character this might pose a problem. Anyone have constructive ideas to make this work?
Dec 3, 2015 7:31 pm
Could it be renamed to something like Adrenaline Rush, where he gets faster instead of stronger? Half-damage could be loosely played by heightened reflexes to shift away from the brunt of the attack instead of mentally powering through the wound.

I didn't know barbarian rage made any distinction between Str & Dex attacks (now I do). I like CancerMan's suggestion! So what about the advantage to saves? Do we turn that into Dex too?
Dec 4, 2015 1:25 pm
I wasn't sure if you were using the Rage from the barbarian class, so I didn't expand further. But if you are, I would have suggested that it turn into a Dex save advantage, too.

Dex saves are generally more powerful than str saves, but I'm not opposed if everyone else is ok with it

Going forward, Mai'ngor is going Fighter all the way. That's the plan, anyway. Looking back, I think thematically it would've made more sense if I had started him as a Barbarian given his story. Anyway, here we are.
Dec 8, 2015 8:47 pm
Here's more: I want to say Mai'ngor's version of the barbarian's Unarmored Defense comes from his tattoos.
Quote:
Mai’ngor is a tikbalang pintado (tattooed warrior) from the highlands. His batuk (tattoos): lightning bolts across his chest. And across his back, a great balete tree. On his forearms, python skin patterns. On his biceps, crocodile hide patterns. On his hocks and fetlocks, cloud patterns representing the winds. On his forehead, a flaming stone.

If I play true to character, Mai'ngor will at least attempt to explore this tomb, even solo, despite the risk. But as a player I know going solo would be suicide.
If I push on some of you might not appreciate me forcing your hand, so to speak.
Thankfully tikbalang are as capricious as they are greedy, so Mai'ngor might change his mind.

I meant to ask before a bunch of you posted your characters deciding to follow Mai'ngor: I realize I've sidetracked us, and I realize that's not always fun for everyone. Is everyone ok with this? Is everyone still having fun? Because if not I can turn Mai'ngor around. I actually wrote an exit back there ("We would never bury our dead in the ground. A soul so entombed would haunt the world forever.") but somehow I found myself pushing Mai'ngor forward anyway. Tell me if you're still having fun or if I'm spoiling it, because personally I think that's what's most important here.

Elfog, on the other hand, is pretty pissed, but he'll just take his frustration out on the Drow.

Can specters only be hit by magic weapons? Should Soliin be smart enough to run away fast?

Shuttle? Must me thinking of another game! You're down in a tomb and have been confronted by Specters. Mai'ngor has told everyone to run away.
Jan 25, 2016 2:47 pm
Heh, oops, both threads are OOC, and I mixed them up... gotta figure out some way to make it more obvious what game you're in. That said, sorry, didn't realize I didn't post. I'll have something in once I get to work.

Mai'ngor is attempting a tactical retreat. He's all about glory in battle but owing to his culture's views regarding the departed he really is unnerved by undead and will turn around and run the moment everyone else is safely away. He would never leave anyone behind (well, maybe Sarith). Looks like Xeliss is about to engage though. If she does, Mai'ngor will commit as well.

Do I still need to roll for a CON save or does my wolf form absorb it when I revert back to my gnomish self? Not sure how that works.
Jan 27, 2016 3:48 pm
I'll have you roll the con save for the 3 damage that rolled over into your gnome form
Jan 27, 2016 8:11 pm
I thought Mai'ngor took both of Shoor's swords.
Jan 27, 2016 8:16 pm
Naatkinson says:
Yeah, he did, but only one was magical :)So I guess I should specify which sword I'm striking with. I guess since we've set a precedent, moving forward the magical one is the main weapon and the other one is the off-hand.

I don't mean to rules lawyer, but why does Specter 2 roll 3d6 for the crit damage against Soliin? A crit only adds 1 extra weapon die, doesn't it? Or am I wrong?
Jan 28, 2016 3:31 pm
Crits double the damage dice rolled. Certain features, such as Brutal Critical for Barbarians specify only one damage die

I think Jabes was referring to the two 3d6 rolls you had on Soliin, from Specter2. The first damage roll was a 12 and was included in the attack roll. Then there's a second roll of 3d6 for 13 points, which appears to have been the one that was doubled for 25 points.

Keleth says:
I notice you rolled my death save. I didn't need to roll then, did I?OOC:
Death Saving ThrowsWhenever you start your turn with 0 hit points, you must make a special saving throw, called a death saving throw, to determine whether you creep closer to death or hang onto life. Unlike other saving throws, this one isn’t tied to any ability score. You are in the hands of fate now, aided only by spells and features that improve your chances of succeeding on a saving throw.
Roll a d20: If the roll is 10 or higher, you succeed. Otherwise, you fail. A success or failure has no effect by itself. On your third success, you become stable (see below). On your third failure, you die. The successes and failures don’t need to be consecutive; keep track of both until you collect three of a kind. The number of both is reset to zero when you regain any hit points or become stable.
Rolling 1 or 20: When you make a death saving throw and roll a 1 on the d20, it counts as two failures. If you roll a 20 on the d20, you regain 1 hit point.
Damage at 0 Hit Points: If you take any damage while you have 0 hit points, you suffer a death saving throw failure. If the damage is from a critical hit, you suffer two failures instead. If the damage equals or exceeds your hit point maximum, you suffer instant death.
Jan 28, 2016 4:43 pm
Ah, thanks for clarifying; I missed the con save part. Yah, I had a general idea of how death saves worked; glad I'm not dead (yet).

For the record, Mai'ngor wanted to leave but the other three seemed to be keen on going for more treasure. And then there was the voice. :-D

Everyone here knows how the Hit Dice system works for replenishing HP on a short rest, right?
Feb 3, 2016 8:23 pm
I'm actually a bit unclear. Given none of us have healer kits, I'm not sure how much we heal. We each have 2 HD right now, right?
Feb 3, 2016 8:28 pm
You have 2 HD now, you may spend them on a short rest to heal your HD (1d8) + Con Mod.
Example: Soliin has 2 HD and decides he wants to use one. He will roll 1d8+2 and regain that many HP. He can then decide to use another if that didn't heal enough and roll another 1d8+2 for that much more healing. You also regain half of your spent HD on a Long Rest.

Ah, I thought you only get the full heal when you have a healers kit. I'm gonna have to review all this.
Feb 4, 2016 1:59 pm
Also, if everyone could keep track of their current hit points in their character sheet that would be awesome.
Did you want to use your Hit Dice, Keleth? I know you were pretty beaten up.

To be honest I'm not sure I calculated my current hp correctly what with shifting in and out of the wolf form and getting smacked around before and after. It doesn't look right to me.

Early in, the idea was to add that tracking to the game rather than the character, but I'm realizing that doesn't make sense.
Feb 4, 2016 7:57 pm
This might be clunky, but what about adding common stats automatically into the body of the message? Like at the top?
Feb 4, 2016 8:02 pm
The thing is, different classes have different stuff to track. Everyone tracks HP & XP, obviously, but others have ammo, spell slots, ki, smite, sorcery points, wildshape, rage, etc. It's not one sheet fits all :-)

I think what I'm going to do is add stuff like HP to the char sheet themselves (we will have to do a review of all the char sheets at some point), but as I work on the redesign, maybe we can add in a "party info" tab to the game bar.
Feb 4, 2016 8:35 pm
While we're at it, could there be a "save" button near the top of the character sheet?

Sure. Save buttons for everyone!

Hunter can actually make it close enough to see what's going on without using a dash action. So she can act if she wants. The map is slightly misleading in the way it curves. It's just meant to show that there is a chamber below, it is a straight shot the the room.
Feb 8, 2016 5:19 pm
Soliin has a hard time resisting his curiosity, if it's not obvious. He may also have a thing about leaving someone trapped behind, if you noticed in the escape :p Not because he necessarily wants to help them, but more heads are adventurous to his escape.

Xeliss found plenty of loot in the specter room, and it looks like there's some more down in the lower level. I don't know if she'll share with the others but Mai'ngor is content with his sword.
Feb 9, 2016 8:51 pm
So are we taking a full rest to level up or something?
I think there's another unexplored room up on the same level as the specter room. We could fo that and then rest, or the other way around, or just leave it.

But there may be more sun swords... Actually, I don't mind, since I don't use longswords. But actually, didn't Mai'ngor have another magical sword?
Feb 9, 2016 8:55 pm
The Sun Blade that Mai'ngor got counts as a long sword for damage, but it's finesse and you can use it if you have short sword proficiency.
You can try to take a long rest whenever you want to :)

I've got one spell slot left, but if someone wanted to check that other room, she'd not be opposed.

Edited my last post. Mai'ngor is giving Soliin Shoor Vandree's magical sword. The tikbalang will retain the sun blade and Shoor's other (non-magical) sword.
And yeah, Mai'ngor is for exploring the other room, whether now or later.

I realize the spells part of the char sheet is lacking. I'm thinking new field per spell indicating level, and a set of inputs across the top for slots by level?

If there's more room for changes, there could be something for prepared spells versus spells available. Not sure what could be done, but something to distinguish it somehow.
Feb 9, 2016 11:53 pm
That one gets more complicated. At some point, I want to add a "spellbook" at some point, but that's way more complicated.
Feb 11, 2016 9:57 pm
If you plan on splitting the gold evenly amongst everyone then Stool and Shuushar are not at all interested. That leaves the five of you plus Sarith, Eldeth, and Jimjar, who would each be happy to take their share. If you plan on splitting it another way, or taking extra for yourself before the others get there then that's another story :)
Feb 11, 2016 10:04 pm
I took the items but am begrudgingly ok with spltting the gold evenly, unless someone looks like they're in desperate need of one of the potions. Do I even know what they do?
Feb 11, 2016 10:09 pm
From previous experience you can tell that the deep red one is a greater potion of healing (4d4+4)
Feb 11, 2016 10:10 pm
The other two you can make an Arcana check to see if you can figure it out, or you can spend a short rest studying one and figure it out

Yeah, it was an open invitation for anybody to check, even though I don't recall doing this when we initially entered.
One of the nice things about 5e is how everyone can do practically everything; it's just a question of how good you are at it, mixed in with a little bit of luck.

or
2. You have an ally within five feet of your enemy
So long as you meet at least one of those, you get sneak attack.

One thing I want to point out, Xeliss, is that you have the ability to wild shape into any CR 1 beast since you're a moon druid. This includes Brown Bears and Dire Wolves :)
Only restrictions are that it can't have a fly or swim speed. Those requirements are determined by the table in the PHB, but the CR is equal to one-third of your druid level (Rounded Down)

What's it like when someone hits 0 again? How long do they survive at 0, and how do I stabilize them?

What's it like when someone hits 0 again? How long do they survive at 0, and how do I stabilize them?If damage reduces you to 0 hit points and fails to kill you, you fall unconscious (see appendix A). This unconsciousness ends if you regain any hit points.
Death Saving Throws
Whenever you start your turn with 0 hit points, you must make a special saving throw, called a death saving throw, to determine whether you creep closer to death or hang onto life. Unlike other saving throws, this one isn’t tied to any ability score. You are in the hands of fate now, aided only by spells and features that improve your chances of succeeding on a saving throw.
Roll a d20: If the roll is 10 or higher, you succeed. Otherwise, you fail. A success or failure has no effect by itself. On your third success, you become stable (see below). On your third failure, you die. The successes and failures don’t need to be consecutive; keep track of both until you collect three of a kind. The number of both is reset to zero when you regain any hit points or become stable.
Rolling 1 or 20: When you make a death saving throw and roll a 1 on the d20, it counts as two failures. If you roll a 20 on the d20, you regain 1 hit point.
Damage at 0 Hit Points: If you take any damage while you have 0 hit points, you suffer a death saving throw failure. If the damage is from a critical hit, you suffer two failures instead. If the damage equals or exceeds your hit point maximum, you suffer instant death.
Stabilizing a Creature
The best way to save a creature with 0 hit points is to heal it. If healing is unavailable, the creature can at least be stabilized so that it isn’t killed by a failed death saving throw.
You can use your action to administer first aid to an unconscious creature and attempt to stabilize it, which requires a successful DC 10 Wisdom (Medicine) check.
A stable creature doesn’t make death saving throws, even though it has 0 hit points, but it does remain unconscious. The creature stops being stable, and must start making death saving throws again, if it takes any damage. A stable creature that isn’t healed regains 1 hit point after 1d4 hours.

You also have 4 first level spell slots, and 2 second level slots.

Rules Clarification: You can't do "non-lethal" damage. You can decide when you reduce an enemy to 0 HP with a melee attack that you want to knock them unconscious instead of kill them. Just go ahead and let me know when you engage a foe (or at any time before you reduce them to 0) and I will have them fall unconscious instead.

In my experience, having a spell component pouch just means you have spell components available. It would be assumed that whatever spells you have, you also have the material components for. However, given our circumstances of being escaped prisoners, it's up to Naatkinson if he wants to be specific as far as whether or not certain components are missing.
And components generally are not consumed with each casting, unless the spell specifically says it is consumed. For example, Hunter's Message cantrip requires a copper wire, but the wire doesn't disappear and can be used for the next casting.

I looked up the spell; the components will not be consumed, so whatever amount you have of red, yellow, and blue powder will last for indefinite casting.

So looks like not many good feats for an Arcane Trickster. Maybe skilled? Or just increase my int for spell casting.

If you like stealthing and possibly scouting, the Observant feat lets you increase INT or WIS by 1, lets you read lips, and grants +5 to passing perception and passive investigation.
There's also Alert for overall initiative and not being surprised.

I retract my previous statement about increasing attack attributes; that just increases your chance to hit. I think only re-rolls from Lucky or from something that grants Advantage would increase your odds of a critical hit.

So I know I'm being finicky, but what do you think of me taking Magic Initiate with Warlock, taking Hex as my spell? An extra 1d6 damage is nice, but I'm not sure it's all that great. Some extra cantrips, specially damage ones, would be nice. I'm realizing crossbow expert would also let me take two attacks with a hand crossbow, assuming I have a free hand.
Mar 30, 2016 4:02 pm
Magic Initiate is a nice feat, even for dedicated spellcasters. The only caveat is that you'll be using the attribute for that class, so you'll want a nice Charisma score for Warlock to take advantage of the attack bonus with Eldritch Blast (assuming that's one of the cantrips you choose).
I know it's among the short list of feats I want for Hunter (take Warlock since she already has a decent CHA), but I want to get her attributes up first.

I have a +3 cha, which is nice enough for now. Given it's one level 1 spell, it should suffice. My worry is at later levels, it won't be useful... 1d6 is a lot right now (a 50% increase to my SA damage), but later on, it won't be anything.
Mar 30, 2016 4:59 pm
Yes, that is one of the drawbacks to that feat, as far as the 1st-level spell is concerned. You will only cast that 1st-level spell as a 1st-level spell and the damage will not scale with your own level.
My reading of the cantrips themselves should still allow their damage to scale with your level. At least, I don't see any indication in the description of Eldritch Blast that would say otherwise; Naatkinson has the final call, of course.

Mar 30, 2016 5:16 pm
Cantrips always scale with character level, so that's not an issue :)
As far as it being a first level spell, it is meh. But some spells are still very useful in this way, including Shield and Find Familiar. Also, if they are on your class spell list, you can actually use spell slots to cast them at a higher level, plus you get the free one as a first level spell.

Crossbow master may be a better choice... if I get a nice hand crossbow or special bolts, two attacks in one round could be great. It'd allow me to double my chances of sneak attacking in a single round (I know only one of them would have the damage, but if the first doesn't hit, the second could).
Mar 30, 2016 5:20 pm
Crossbow master is pretty amazing. Two chances to sneak attack, plus you're a switch-hitter without having to switch weapons.

Always one of the best hunters in the clan, Elfog had taken on the role of mentor to many a young dwarf, leading parties of the young ones into the wild to show them the ways of the hunt. Several years ago, while on an outing with a particularly green group, the party was ambushed by three orcs. Being dwarves, the young ones showed no fear, but Elfog knew it wouldn't end well for the inexperienced hunters and ordered them to flee. "I hold these pigs off ya, now RUN!!! he screamed and threw himself into battle.
Several hours later a search party arrived, tasked with retrieving the brave dwarf's corpse, whose actions saved the lives of his fellow clan members. What they found astounded them; Elfog's body, surrounded by four, no five brutally beaten orcs. Kneeling beside's Elfog, Yog the Cleric was preparing to say a prayer for the fallen hero when she thought she heard a weak whimper.
Sure enough, Elfog had somehow managed to survive his battle with the six orcs. With Yog's expert care and months of recuperation Elfog was able to make a full recovery and for the bravery shown on that day, and his willingness to sacrifice himself for other's in the clan, the leader of Clan Oakshoulder bestowed upon him Tolvihar, The Slayer of Vorosakarny and Feller of Orias!

Yep, it's not a huge surprise that he shows up, but I was not expecting an appearance so soon in the game.

Jimjar and Stool are still with us. What about Sarith and Shuushar?
Ok we've got ourselves Level 1 exhaustion. But was that an actual short or long rest? Recharge abilities? Heal hp?

I've read the Icewind Dale trilogy, plus the 3 books surrounding Drizzt's backstory. I have to admit that after the sixth book I was sorta done, so it doesn't surprise me that more novels were churned out.

Just wondering, are we getting a battle map for this encounter? I'm okay just doing it theater of the mind, it's just that we've used maps for all previous encounters, so am just wondering. :-)

I actually didn't roll SA because I thought like in 3/3.5, can't sneak attack things without visible fail-points. As for the level 4 stuff, weird, I know I added Crossbow Mastery under Abilities, and now it's gone. I'll double check everything.

What's the D&D equivalent of nuking something from orbit? That's what Elfog wants to do to the oozes!
Jun 28, 2016 3:04 pm
We have a couple options here:
1. We can RP the planning of what to do against the oozes, or
2. We can skim over it and I can give you the pertinent details
I'll leave the choice up to you guys (and girl)!

Is there an inbetween? eg, leaders have discussion, and there are details, we interject with feedback? I think a long RP on this would work well on a table, but not as good in PbP, but at the same time, diving in never favors the party, heh.
Jun 28, 2016 3:45 pm
Perhaps we can plan things here in OOC with Nattkinson giving some of the details, and we'll post our reactions or suggestions. Then in the IC thread we'll post a summary of what was decided, with the option of including any notable outbursts taken by the players.

Wild Shape: Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature’s bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can’t use them.

I actually don't know the rules for two weapon fighting; no longer a -4 to each attack?
Aug 17, 2016 11:56 pm
Nope! If you have a light melee weapon in both hands and you take the attack action to attack with your main hand weapon, you may use your bonus action to attack with the off hand weapon (though the off hand doesn't get dex or strength mod to damage)

One of the racial features we agreed on for this homebrew race that hasn't come into play yet:
You know the minor illusion cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the longstrider spell once per day. When you reach 5th level, you can also cast the misty step spell once per day. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.So how do you calculate level for this purpose? Mai'ngor is Barbaruan-1, Fighter-4. Is he able to cast. Misty Step? I'm thinking Misty Step to threaten the medusa then Action Surge to slash it.
In any case, would this (the spellor tthrowing something) have been possible in the first round?

I don't mind XP based systems, but it's mostly why I don't like premades. I'm very XP loose... I level people up by milestones rather than by specific actions. If you kill 3 kobolds but complete a thing, LEVEL! If you kill 40 orcs and complete the same thing, LEVEL! And loot. Orcs have better loot. Let's kill the orcs.
You could force level us, or scale future things?

I could just force the levels on you, I'd rather not have to scale down the rest of the adventure.
That's true of pre-mades, though. I've never had issues in a homebrew game before with XP (though it still isn't ideal in my opinion)

Forcing levels would seem to be a much easier option than having to scale everything back. I'm not a big fan of XP myself as every time I've dealt with it, it has led to situations just like this.

I'm actually a bit torn, as I'd end up metagaming, but it'd probably be a good idea for Soliin to, at least in character, talk to some mages to understand his new powers, but specially since these guys are decent at illusion spells, even more so.

Reuesting clarification because I might be misunderstanding PHB page 195:
If I attempt to escape (succeed or fail) that is mu action for the round - I can't attack. This is why I didn't attempt it last round and chose to attack instead. Actually I thought about using my once-a-day Misty Step (a bonus action) but decided I needed the Second Wind more at that moment.
Let me know if I've got it wrong and I CAN attack in the same round I attempt an escape.
Quote:
Escaping a Grapple. A grappled creature can use its action to escape. To do so, it must succeed on a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check contested by your Strength (Athletics) check.Let me know if I've got it wrong and I CAN attack in the same round I attempt an escape.

In the interest of honesty, I think Hunter just lost concentration on Banishment. Didn't take damage, but she was incapacitated from the Power Word Stun.
Mar 20, 2017 2:53 am
You're right, it takes your action on your round to attempt to escape. Misty Step will get you out, though

But you lose concentration if you are incapacitated. I'm looking at the Spellcasting section for Concentration (pg 203 of the PHB).

Yeah, I only thought about the Incapacitation after I cast Counterspell. Thought, "Seems odd that I can maintain concentration after being stunned."
And now that I look back, I put myself right in position to be the closest thing the barlgura sees. Wonderful.

I am going to apologize in advance, because I was a total idiot when I started this game. I never tracked much of anything for events, and we're so far in that I don't want to go back and read through to provide a timeline of events as I have done with some other games. From here on out, I will provide a timeline of events for you to make following the story easier!

I'm trying to figure out a readable way to distinguish whenever Hunter interjects another language into Common. Does it work better if it's italicized or colored differently?
I did try doing the old comic book method of using angled brackets, but the forum tries to interpret them as markup tags. Anyone have other suggestions?

Oh, don't forget that you can force me to roll on the Wild Magic table anytime after I use Tides of Chaos, when I cast a spell of 1st-level or higher. It normally resets after a long rest, but the DM can reset it early with a Surge.

Elfog, I'm not sure if you just didn't update your level, but you show as a level 8, when everyone else is level 9. At the very least, you show as having a +3 proficiency bonus and it should be a +4 at this level!

Must have happened when I was away, I’ll get him caught after this encounter. Missing the Brutal Critical and increase in rage damage as well.
As for as the four attacks, after a closer read of things, I’m not sure why I had that in my head. Thanks for catching me on it though, as I’ve been doing the same thing in one of my face to face games. :-/

I don't know about you, but if I was playing a Wild Magic apellcaster I'd like a surge every single time! Have you ever played 13th Age? The Chaos Mage class is so much fun! Each combat round, your spell category is determined randomly by die roll, so might be too much randomness for some, but there are actually feats you can take just to increase the likelihood of triggering a "High Weirdness" effect!

You might have noticed that I started rolling for surges on cantrips now, just to get the odds tweaked.

At the table, I think you have to use your Luck point before you roll Indomitable, since you need to declare before the outcome is determined. Should both dice result in failure, you can then use Indomitable.
I'd imagine if your character is a halfling and you roll a 1, you could reroll that, too.

No, and I'm having the same issue both typing on mobile and laptop. I've never had the problem either, I've made dozens of sheets for various game systems so it's not newbie error, I think something glitched on my account.

Thanks for the assist. Currently if I split the list up and post half in Items and half in Notes it works, but I should be able to post all of it in Items. It's not even that much stuff...

Some of my D&D 5e sheets have much longer blocks of text than that in the Items section.

Were you entering the data directly into the text field, or did you copy-paste it from a text editor of some kind? I only ask in case the copy-paste introduced a hidden character that didn't parse on GP.

Sounds good, my only suggestion (and feel free the tell me to shove it) would be to consider a paladin... fighting demons and whatnot the paladin is always the mvp.
Feb 28, 2020 5:11 pm
Oh I know. I contemplated running the paladin route, but wasn't feeling the "being the MVP" route as I come back from my hiatus, :D. Raging, reducing the incoming damage, and smacking things around is the speed I'm looking for at the moment.

By the way, I dont know how much this lockdown is affecting everyone but it is a major catastrophe here in California and I wish the best for all of you and your families. It is good to have a distraction like Gamersplane to take my mind off of things, so here's to an epic quest!

My country is on quarantine. Here in the capital, no one leaves their houses. I'm part of the small minority that actually has the financial means to have a stocked pantry. Most people have gone from living a hand-to-mouth existence to now facing the prospect of starving. You're allowed to go out to buy food or meds, but without work, these people don't have any money for that.

That's horrible.
The number of cases across the sunny Caribbean increases daily. My island has 6 cases, and we're obviously expecting that to rise. ~10 cruise ships are moored offshore or docked with their crews being either isolated or shuttled to the airport for transfer back to their homes before the airlines decide to stop flying. We've had some panic buying but that's tapered off. Our local rum industry's already producing alcohol so some production's switched to producing medical grade alcohol. I'm sure we're nowhere near the worst it'll get but I'm trying to stay positive. My job in media/news means I'll be on the middle line [is that a thing?] disseminating info to the public means I can't do any isolation/work from home stuff, plus using public transport feels like infection waiting to happen... but like I said: trying positivity.

Cool, cool.
I'm leaning toward either some flavor of paladin, or an eldritch knight to keep with the "everyone is a little bit magic" theme you have going already

Hey guys! I'll be back later to put together a character, but I wanted to quickly introduce myself for the time being: I'm your newest teammate! Naat already got me up to speed with the current situation, so yeah, now it's just a matter of locking a character and then I'll be ready to go.
So far the concept I'm inclined to play is based on Lu and Ciel from Elsword: a mercenary/bounty hunter who had to sell his soul to a demon in order to survive, and his patron who tags along with him in the form of a little girl. The idea being that she's stuck in this form because she used to be a powerful demon lord, but then her peers turned on her and sealed her in order to usurp her position, and she had to use up most of her power, to the point of regressing to child form, in order to escape. Oh, and the demons who did that to her? They just happen to be the antagonists of this campaign, so yeah, that's why this unlikely duo, after many misadventures, ended up being employed by the Council of Spiders, and from there they'll be joining the party.
Mechanically this is going to be a half-elf, rogue (assassin) 3/warlock (the fiend) 8, going for a skill money/dex fighter kind of build, with magic there for support and additional damage. I hope you guys like this concept: as an alternative, since it seems to me this party is somewhat lacking in terms of healing, I was also considering a warlock (the celestial) 3/sorcerer (divine soul) build, to provide magical versatility as well as healing. I don't have a concept locked for this second build but I mean, it would be a character whose flavor revolves around divinity and sanctity: making such a character fit in a party that fights demons should be easy enough.
So yeah, while I do look forward the opportunity to play the badass warlock and little girl who's actually his patron duo (it's an idea I've had in mind for a while), I'm absolutely ok with switching to a concept capable of better helping the party, if you guys so prefer. Your thoughts?

I generally fall into the school of "Play What You Want," so I won't try to influence your character decision. I'm just happy that you're here!
Aug 7, 2020 6:33 pm
Great concepts Tears, I would think either concept would work but the divine soul build would add something we don't really have at the moment. Between our bard and our rogue we have a fair bit of skill monkeying going on but no real healing.
Claypigeon a paladin would be most helpful, especially considering the demonic nature of this module.

Aug 7, 2020 9:40 pm
Character submitted: in the end I went with the Divine Soul Sorcerer option, because it felt like it could contribute more to this party... Although there is a twist: the patron for the three level of Warlock is a Fiend! Yep, this powerful spellcaster with the blood of angels has made a pact with a demon: it is the ultimate fusion of good and evil, of light and darkness, it is the powers of heaven and hell coming together to create the definitive distillation of perfect magical might. BEHOLD THE SUPREME INCARNATION OF ARCANE DOMINATION!

Hey DM, could you please give me a quick rundown of what I should expect my character to know about the present mission?
Let me rephrase that: naturally, all Lyra knows is "we're off throwing some magic at baddies", that's all she hears in every briefing. But what does MISHA know about the mission at hand?

Not long ago (a few months), the archmage of Menzoberranzan, Gromph Baenre, unleashed the demon lords of the abyss (Demogorgon, Baphomet, etc) into the material plane.
The party had made contact with a drow wizard named Vizeran DeVir to gather materials to seal them back up before they cause too much trouble. In order to do this, he needs Gromph's grimoire to get more specific details about the archmage's summoning ritual. He is part of a group called the Council of Spiders (a group of male drow who seek to empower the males of their matriarchal society) which is assisting in getting the grimoire.

Guys I must apologize, but my health conditions have once again collapsed. With a new batch of examinations coming up and the threat of COVID looming, at this point I'm honestly thinking to just quit online roleplaying altogether: it's clear to me that this kind of commitment just isn't compatible with the my physical and mental ups and downs, no matter how much I want it to be.
Sep 10, 2020 3:38 am
I'm sorry to hear that, Tears. I was really looking forward to seeing what Lyra and Misha would bring to the "table".

THIS IS A COPY/PASTED POST FOR ALL OF THE GAMES I'M IN
I just wanted to make a post so that I can give you all a heads-up. I am currently living in a not-so-great situation and stuck with my ex-wife. My current living situation is one of near-constant verbal abuse and it is making my depression spike terribly. This is affecting my will to post consistently. I want to apologize in advance for a lack of posting that may occur from time to time. I am working right now on getting into a new living situation that will be much healthier for me.
Anyway, this is just a heads-up for you and I appreciated you reading it!
