Character Generation

I submitted my lady, shes not "complete" yet but she's "combat ready" :D Need spells, fighting style, ___ awarness, and weapon(s).

Character accepted. Feel free to post in the introduction thread.

I will make a character profile tomorrow or possible later today.

I picture my Druid looking treebeard-ish, though less overtly...tree. If anyone has any image suggestions.

What race are you hoping to play?

This one would need a bit of tweaking to replace those metal looking bars with maybe branches or leaves but I can easily do that if you need.
Plant Man Pic

Other than that I did a google search on "dnd5e plant-like human" and then if you find the picture of the Floran and click on it the associated pictures it brings up might be viable as well -- keep in mind if you need help tweaking a picture to your needs I can help with that to a degree -- I am not an digital artist but I am pretty good and melding pictures to create a new one

How’s your character coming along, DeJoker? You two are the final entrees.

I have submitted a version of it -- that still needs equipment but because I have not seen your guidelines for equipment I am holding off on finalizing that.
Also I have two more languages I can pick up and currently know these -- Elven, Common, Sylvan -- any suggestions ?? and/or what would be the most helpful in this game

@DeJoker, It’s an Island, so maybe there will be some water creatures to contend with. Maybe some Air creatures too.

I think starting equipment + 750 gold is very reasonable. I think by level three, you have almost all the non-magic equipment you could want, though full plate mail remains out of reach for now

What can I buy with the 750 gold -- any magic items -- and/or -- any restrictions on what is allowable to be purchased

Some air and water creatures ?? How does that translate to a language I should pick up?

If I was privy to the DMs info I might take Aquan and Gnome maybe.

As for purchasing things with 750, you can purchase all mundane items in the book. And a few scrolls. Seems like the average cost is 50-100gp for a cantrip/level 1 spell

Hmm okay that nearly confuzzled me -- "if you were privy to the DMs info" -- I thought I had made a mistake and you were not the GM but you are -- but it took me a moment to screw my head back on straight before it fully re-registered correctly

Okay and thanks on that

So is Draconic (in this realm) still the oldest language in which many old magic is written in ?? I was thinking about taking it for that reason but if that is not applicable with this Realm (Island) then I will not.

Just making sure that everyone has started at level 3. I don’t think the module puts any particular emphasis on Draconic over any other languages!

Oh its a module ? Thought it was just a campaign setting with a semi-sandbox style for it. Is this just going to be a one shot module thingy -- or might it turn into a more campaign oriented thing ??

Ah, module might be too generous a word. Sandbox setting is accurate yes. I think we won’t overstay our welcome with the game, so as to avoid a drop off in interest that’s inevitable in PBP.

@KCC69 - I want to get proficiency in Persuasion since firbolg's have advantage on Persuasion vs plants and animals and plants and animals can understand them, but I'm having trouble getting it with a background I like. Could I trade the Athletics proficiency from the Outlander background for Persuasion?

On that same note, I was thinking about using Animal Friendship to try and get a pet woof or badger or something. What are your thoughts on that? I know some DM's are loathe to allow any additional bodies on the field in a PbP format because they can really slow down combat. From a story perspective, my druid is NG, so he wouldn't use the animal as a disposable body or recklessly send it off into danger.

Yes, you can definitely change your proficiencies.

As for Animal Friendship, if you wanted to have an animal friend, I don’t see that being a problem. It could serve as a sort of lesser familiar, maybe. I don’t know if it could serve as a full blown animal companion though, with scaling dice etc.

Alright, how do I post from the characters profile?

Ok. So you’ve made your character, in the character tab. And you’ve added an avatar? Go to your games tab and find "Exploring Neverland." You’ll have the option to submit a character. I’ll accept it. Then your text box will have the option to switch between player and character.
