Character Idea
One of the player has expressed interest in being a local to Barovia! That's a new spin on the game, but one I've run with before and I thoroughly enjoyed it! It would limit our options for Character Creation, but if you guys are interested in exploring that, we can make it happen!

Re: Character Idea
Woo hoo! Very excited for this campaign. As long as no one else was really wanting to play one, I was the one thinking of being a Diviner Wizard from Barovia. If we decide we'd like to all be foreigners though that's totally fine and I can definitely spin a Diviner a different way that'll still be fun and similar to the concept I have in mind. But I'm all for locals and even a 100% local campaign 👍

Re: Character Idea
Thanks for having me! Can you tell a bit about what we need to know going into the setting? I only know the high level blurb that Borovia is surrounded by mist that people from distant places emerge from, it's basically Transylvania, and Strahd is totally not Dracula. ;)

Re: Character Idea
Was potentially interested in retrying a very curious enthusiastic Tabaxi Paladin of the Ancients, as the game she was in unfortunately folded very quickly. Not sure if it would work being a local, but I'm willing to try, or can change concept.

Re: Character Idea
This is a group thing so I'm cool with mixing and matching!

And essentially Barovia is a pocket dimension that exists between planes. Not much is known about it, even less so if you weren't born in the dimension itself. No one can leave it without Strahd's permission, though he can't leave at all. Entering is usually an accident, as finding it is nearly impossible.

Re: Character Idea
Thankx for invite.

You can never trust those MISTS...Once before (5e time), I played a lawful monk that got cursed and turned chaotic and went to his opposite a barbarian and all the time cursed he became stronger and more werewolf like. Took 4 high level werewolf hunter to take him down. The character had a STR of 26. Was an interesting game played table top.

Don't know but perhaps I will try a Monk again.. ;).

Re: Character Idea
Is point buy an option? Or would you rather we roll and then you can balance us all after the fact

Not sure I know how to turn that one on...like I say, new at this X)

It is! I'm okay with that or Standard Array as well. I'm a fan of rolling, but by no means will force that on anyone else!

You're totally good to pursue that! I think we're story boarding right now, I can mix local characters with non-locals, that's more than okay. Oath of Ancients is in the PHB so that should be alright!

Re: Character Idea
No need for two though! :D

I'm considering a Cleric now. Pondering race, maybe dwarf or human.. So we don't get seen as the latest monster incursion by the local peasantry. ^^

Edit 1: Ooh Dice roller! *Does the Dance of Dicey Dice*
Edit 2: 18, 13, 12, 10, 9, 8. Sweet and bitter in one tasty package!
Edit 3: Maybe not the best rolls for a cleric. Screams for a Hexblade, but I played one of those already so that's a no. Maybe Fighter or Druid? I'll think on it.

Re: Character Idea
Point Buy is always so dependable so I don't think I've ever made a character without it...but I'm open to new things so I'll give it a try!
*closes eyes and rolls fearfully*

Edit: 14, 9, 10, 16, 14, 9
Not bad, I'm ok with that!

Re: Character Idea
Let the bones roll.

4d6 - ( 6, 3, 5, 1 ) = 15 = 14

4d6 - ( 4, 2, 2, 2 ) = 10 = 8

4d6 - ( 3, 2, 4, 6 ) = 15 = 13

4d6 - ( 5, 1, 1, 5 ) = 12 = 11

4d6 - ( 1, 4, 2, 4 ) = 11 = 10

4d6 - ( 6, 5, 3, 6 ) = 20 = 17

Re: Character Idea
Beats the default stat array!

Druid... I never played it because the whole wild shape thing seemed daunting, but I'm just going to go for it I think. Should be fun.

You could be... our kitty mascot? ^^

But that's probably the kind of array our kind and gracious DM will bestow mercy on.
