Character generation

As I understand it, when we get to the actual playing, we can do some in-game trading of items, just not during character creation phase.

welcome everybody! happy to play together with you !


@greyword
I am thinking of
a) eldritch knight fighter/bladesong wizard
b) swashbuckler/battlemaster

at the moment. So no charisma based class.
I send some questions to our DM and will await his answer before deciding.

@all
As I see it, we have:
Dramasailor - bard/druid
Adrasthea - ranger with archery fighting stlye
and
Greyword - paladin/fighter in the front line

sounds pretty good to me. :)

I will just role once and will choose 2 or 3 items from the list, depends on the class.


... => 23 Boots of levitation

At the moment I've got him built out as a pure bard, but valor bard so still the "magical fighter" kind of feeling, but with the staff of healing as an option in there (as well as bard's having healing magics in general), it'll be less of the main fighter in the lineup and more "oh you annoying little prick" kind of engagement.

You have all the non magical gear you want. Healing potions are magical from table A

I decided to go full gish. :)

Melang - Harengon Fighter 8/Wizard 7 will be hopping along with you all.

My items are all bought, so I took:
- Amulet of Health
- Arcane Grimoire +2 (Tashas)
- Cloak of Displacement
+ the Shoes of Levitation I rolled, but I don`t have any attunement slots left, so I hope I can swap them for something useful. :)


@Runekyndig>
do we need a written backstory for you? I will write the character-description in one of my first posts if this is okay with you.

I already started to complete the charactersheet, but I won`t finish it tonight.

Its not a requirement to write a backstory, but often is a fun part of the character creation

OK, I've decided to be "The Dark Knight": mostly Paladin with a few levels in hexblade warlock to allow me fight well despite my PC is no more young man (Str 13 which is not much for a paladin).
Also I am choosing "Shield +2" as item of choice
I will need a few more days to finish character and it's backstory, but the concept is clear, so let me know if everyone else is ready - I only need a few hours to finish enough details to be able to play it.

I finished my sheet just moments ago.

@DM>
Do we play with flanking rules?

and for your information:
- I already calculated the bladesong to the movement speed and AC.
- The spells in my list with an (R), are not prepared, but in my spellbook, just in case I need them. They are my ritual spells.
- My spell DC and spell attack mod. are +2 each because of the grimoire. so the numbers next to the spells are not the correct ones. But I will always post the right DC next to spell, so that there is no hassle for you.


@Greyword:
hexblade paladin 4 the win! a strong combo. welcome to the front line. ;)

I'll use on-the-fly-battlemaps, but no flanking rules
The D&D sheet does not account for modifiers. Its a little annoying, but the custom sheet should also be available.
Its a very strong combo. I tried one in another game, and I as a player found it on the extreme side

Yes, that's what I've red and want to test. Don't even hope I will try to talk us out of any combat , I want to fight :). If there is a chance I will try to gain strategic advantage through talking.

Thanks. I will keep that in mind for my next highlevel character. :)

Hey @Adrasthea do you need help with anything?

@runekyndig> I have changed a levle 1 spell for another.

@GreyWord> how many paladin levels have you got? :)

Paladin 13/Warlock 2.

no problem. I expect we will be starting monday

@greyword
Please keep close to me. My saves are awful. ;)

Oh yes. That's what paladins are for. They make so nice fireball target, because everyone is around... :)
Seriously - I'm playing retired paladin, he is certainly not going to run around the battle field all the time. You will be able to stay close should you want so.

Excellent!

I'll be your taxi. Thunderstep, dimension door, ... ;)

Almost done, just a few questions:

Can I make my longbow (+2) vicious, because I got the vicious weapon as a magic item?
Do I have to count my arrows?

thx
