You can used the dice code 4d6H3 as roll 4d6 keep the 3 highest
Other dice code is when making an attack roll, by adding AC14 to the description it will show a green check box when the AC meet.
Likewise with spell DC and if/when you cast a spell or other effects that are going have the enemy make a save, roll an unmodded DC roll. If it is a clear success, then you have the narrative, likewise if it is a clear failure. If it is within -1/+3 then I have the narrative as I know the mods

Thanks for the invite!
I already have a good grasp of the character I would like to play. So let's start building her.
Edit:
Guess I rolled exactly pointbuy.
I could use pointbuy as a backup right, should/if I want to tweak a bit (not sure yet if I do)?

Seems we have quite a few doubles.
Based on this and the recruitment thread
Looking at this table, I could also switch class. I don't really mind doubles, but I think it is more fun to avoid them.
That would prevent Hero and me having the same class.
And it would also prevent Verrain and me having an archer build.
Fixes two "double positions".
I assume this is ok with @runekyndig ? (not sure if you picked characters or players when selecting for this game).
Based on group balance I would be going for a tank-type then and still keep quite a bit of the character's base idea
(Abjuration Wizard also comes to mind, not sure how that relates to the bard class though).
Based on this and the recruitment thread
| Player | Class | Sub class | Race | Archetype |
| Calexico_Night | Druid | Circle of Wildfire | Variant Human | Druid Magic |

| Verrain | Ranger | ? | Aarakocra | Archer |
| Mathfuric | Bard | ? | Tabaxi | Arcane Magic? (I am not a bard expert) |

Okay. My ideas to balance out the party.
At this point I am leaning towards the wizard as well, but lets compare notes @HeroAmongMen
Then hopefully we can have things set up soon :)
This was my original character idea.
She is an rogue with a short bow and will go Arcane Trickster.
She really isn't a good student, but her rich noble family send her to Spelljammer Academy in the hope she would learn some discipline.
Or rather, that is her story...
Pro's: original idea, art fits the setting best, rogues are cool
Con's: party balance, it certainly is not my firt rogue
A daughter of one of the noble families of Waterdeep. The only child to inherit her father's estate and titles.
She was being educated for it, prepared, set up.
Until thugs killed her mother. And her father remarried.
And a son was born... a son who would have priority to the estate and the title, for that is how it works in this family.
She suddenly had no future left, except the future of being a pawn in a political marriage.
She left and joined the Spelljammer Academy. Determined, with the aid of her magic, to never let anything be taken away from her again...
Pro's: everyone will have a unique character, the idea is very much growing on me
Con's: party balance? tankiness?
A paladin to Selune from Cormyr.
She applied to join the ranks of the Purple Dragons knights, but failed.
Seeking to use her talents elsewhere, she joined spelljammer academy, quite uncertain about her skills and trusting on her godess.
Pro's: very reliable as a tank, party balance, everyone will have a unique character
Con's: needs more work on the personality department

Here are my ideas:
[ +- ] Svirfneblin Rogue (Swashbuckler) Far Traveler
My original concept, he came up from the Underdark seeking to live out stories he heard of adventure on the high seas, but he didn’t know the difference between the Astral Sea and a normal sea.
[ +- ] Gray Dwarf Warlock (Great Old One patron) Rakdos Cultist background (but changing to a Forgotten Realms flavor)
This is also a denizen of the Underdark, but he seeks to meet his patron among the stars.
HeroAmongMen sent a note to runekyndig
[ +- ] Drow Sorcerer (Shadow) Acolyte
Whereas most denizens of the Underdark rely on the darkness to be effective, this priestess of Lolth brings the darkness with her, and uses it to her advantage.
She seeks further dark secrets by conversing with ancient beings in the cosmos, but she will learn to rely on her crew, even if she sees them as inferior beings.

I might haven't been clear in the recruitment thread, but this is a published adventure level 1 to 4. The two first chapters have been published, but chapters 3 and 4 will be published before we get to that point.
You are native to the forgotten realms, and in one way or another you have signed up for the Spelljammer academy, with the very real possibility that you will go out to the starts and not come back.
If this is not what you thought, then accept my apology, and if it is definitely not what you signed up for, then I'll pick one from the waiting list to take your spot.

Thrilled to introduce Torch, and the wildfire spirit called Wisp (both use any/all pronouns). Anyone from Torch's past might know their full name is Aosa Torick, and it's probably on any Academy paperwork, but "Torch" got picked up as they integrated into society, and it stuck.

Say Hi to Johnny Kidd.
A duelling Warforged Pirate who can not recall any memory before 10 years ago, when he was rebooted by a famous Gnome Pirate/Inventor Henry Avery.
He has sailed the seas for 9 years defending his ‘Captain’, where he garnished the nickname ‘The Kid’ for his simple view of the world.
About a year ago the crew turned on Henry when Johnny was ashore collecting a new longsword, upon his return he found a few assassins in waiting. Battered from the attack Johnny retreated and has been on the run since attempting to find the killers of Henry. After a year of running he final found a possible clue that the crew maybe pirating in Wildspace and the Astral Sea.

Sorry - but warforged are not native to the forgotten realms. That is also an Eberron rase. This is a lesson for me, to me more clear in the character creation restrictions (you are not the first to jump on an Eberron rase)

This was the end of chapter 1 and it is now time for some reflections.
Did you like the story?
Is there anything I as a GM can do to improve?
We can end this adventure here if you like or we can continue to chapter 2. (There are a total of 4 chapters)
If you are unhappy with your character, now is the time to introduce another cadet.
If there are a few players from this or the other game that decide not to continue, I will merge the two games into one. They have just ended the encounter with the Neogi Hatchlings.
When we start chapter 2, your character will be level 2. Your character sheet will be filled out (yours are, but in the other game I have a player who is slacking)

I have just updated Acaelia to level 2.
And I realized a mistake I made in the bug fight...
@runekyndig :
I had completely forgotten that I have Shield as a spell and had it memorized.
But these events could have gone differently if I had remebered, although probably a bit more complex.
(If I had shielded it the first attack would be, the second would probably not be ignored and take me down to 1 HP, but still standing).
Not sure how you want to deal with these things in the future. Do note that I also have Absorb Elements and now I picked Feather Fall, but don't have FF memorized atm. If it is too much of a hassle I am also fine replacing the reactions with more PBP friendly spells.
Reactions are always tricky in PBP

Here is a question for you:
Would you like to try out the new background idea? DND one has a slightly different take of the character creation, where the stat increase comes from the backgrounds and where the background gives a 1st-level feet
If we all agree to try this out, you will lose your background feature, but get a 1st-level feet instead. If your rase is on the list, then you loose your current racial features, but gain the new ones instead.
We will also use the new inspiration rules.
This decision must be unanimous. If we don't all agree, then we won't make this conversion at all.

Should we try the playtest?

I’m all for trying it out, but how would you like me to handle the deep gnome connection? Should we just flavor it as a deep gnome, and mechanically choose a rock gnome?

Uhm?No clue what this is. But I am all for testing things
They will also give out more inspiration as humans start with inspiration at the end of a long rest

Gotta catch up on the news then I guess :)
I have skimmed through the document you have linked to. It would be fun to try out.

I'm feeling lost, but I would still try! Definitely have reading to do on this. Haha.

don't feel pressured into something you are uncomfortable with. In the other spelljammer academy group, someone voted no to the new stuff and that was it. There is time enough to play around the play-test-rules.

Yeah, I'm in. I'm not sure it will change my character much, because as a variant human I already have a feat. Would I get a second one? Or move to human and reclaim my feat? I donno. We can work on that once DM is no longer traveling.

I have the same question really.
I am now human variant which is 2x a +1 and a feat.
New human is a level 1 feat.
Now my chosen feat is no longer valid as a level 1 feat, but I have seen a close replacement for it (and now I consider it, I wonder why I didn't pick it sooner), so that is OK.
Also, based on the background I guess that is +1 to a stat compared to var. human and an extra level 1 feat.
Not entirely sure if I like the stat distribution on the example noble though. I am not even sure where I put the spare +1 besides INT.

Alright, then! I'm going to try to rebuild using the UA rules. I'll submit a new character sheet shortly.

I am grateful for your patience. I am now back to normal scheduling again (hopefully)
I can see someone has voted to stick to what we know. So we stick to the normal rules. In retrospect, I think it would be best to play around with the playtest with brand new characters as there are some understandable confusions

All. Due to real life changes I will be available a whole lot less on GP.
I am cutting down on games I play in, but I really love this one, so I'd love to stay in this game.
So if you play with me in another game which I dropped from, please know that I did so because I can keep my focus on this game then.
Making only 3-4 posts a day is easier than keeping up with 10 games. I hope you understand.

Happy you want to keep us, Cettish. I fully understand the need to rebalance at times.
Also, really loving all the Trek references. Haha.

Hey everyone,
Just as a heads up I will be away for a week on holiday from 10th to 18th October, will be a bit distracted to be posting during this period :)

Moved from the game tread
I really struggled in deciding whether to take the roguish archetype of Mastermind or Swashbuckler.
After some consideration, Frug decided to lead from the front, so he is officially a swashbuckler.
I took average HP, also.

I am considering merging the two Spelljammer Academy games into one. Chapter 3 would be your first real mission as fully trained cadets so story-wise it would make sense that the two classes would be put together. The only thing we have to lampshade is the fact that you both saved Miken Haverstance and the rest of that crew in the simulator. They were only in the simulator once. And Mirt was only attacked once with a box of Neogi.
It would give a new dynamic to the game as we now would be more people, there would also be some Class ε vs Class σ tention that could be interesting. But I will not force it on you guys into something you didn't sign up for, hence the poll
I would make a brand new game and invite you all to it if we go ahead with the merger

I am really torn with this, I am very much enjoying our little crew and the dynamic it has created.
Yet on the other hand the cross team rivalry and competition would add some real fun to the experience.

Just like @Mathfuric, I'm a little torn to decide. However, @runekyndig, I'm sure it would make your life easier to run one game rather than two and so I've voted for "either way".

I think both options sound fun. Hard to know how much it would change. I like our crew too.

I'll make a new game tonight and invite you all. You must then withdraw your characters (Under Game Details) from this game and submit them to the new game. All should be at level 3
This game will stay, but we will continue in the new game
