[Closed] Starjammer (D&D 5e)

With elves being vulcans, that leans me more to the half-vulcan (is that a thing, Be'Lana (sp?) was half klingon right?) or human artillerist as the ship's weapons specialist.

I don't really see my self go full vulcan.

Very interested in this. It is fun to mix and match stuff and bend D&D into other lore.

Spock is half-Vulcan, so it's definitely a thing

Oh, and in one episode of TNG, there was a half-Romulan who pretended to be half-Vulcan

Quick question are stats going to be point-buy or roll in the game forum?

I'm going for full Vulcan (Astral elf) but with a twist

Yes Spock is Vulcan-Human (so, half-elf), B'Ehlanna is Klingon-Human, (half-orc).

Btw Romulans are drow.

And @runekydig that works perfectly well!

Um, I'm not particularly bothered whether we do point buy, standard array or roll, so long as everyone uses the same method.

I used point buy to create Clanker, my autognome science officer. If we go with another method I’ll happily redo his stats.

Really? I was never much into TOS so in my mind he was full Vulcan.

So half Vulcan weapons expert artificer artillerist it is.

In Star trek: discovery and Star trek: strange new worlds he handly won't shutup about it :D

Name: Dod
Race: Plasmoid

Possible builds...

I'm thinking about this Vulcan surgeon/doctor named Turak (way of hope).

I'm have no experience on SpellJammer, but from what I'm reading here, and what I do know about D&D, he would probably be an astral elf cleric (healing domain).
He hates battle and fighting, but defends life the best he can.

Oh yes, Happy belated Star Trek Day! I had intended to post the invite on the 8th, but there was a space time anomaly.

I'll give this recruitment thread a full week, but it happily sounds like we have most of our players already, so I'll use the weekend to begin to set up the game.

Also, for @cathamber, here's something to give you an idea of how Spelljammer is like:

Chris Perkins Talks About Spelljammer

I’m going to throw my hat in the ring with a robotic DOT-7 "custodial officer" and maintenance robot. Still working on personality, but I’m thinking there’s something quirky and odd about this robot who is several generations past his prime.

I’m thinking maybe he feels that organics are a burden and he’s constantly having to go around cleaning up their messes. He sighs a lot.

Also, he used to be trained for another position, maybe full engineering or security. He was repurposed so many times he has glitchy memory banks. Thinks he can do thinks he has no skill for and sometimes gets caught in a loop regarding the missing skill file.

He has no filter, speaking his mind and wandering through whatever and wherever without heed for decorum or order. Not that he’s unstoppable or refuses orders, he just doesn’t contain himself of his own accord.

I think I might build him as a wizard, but need to look through some things before settling that down. Honestly, he could be almost any class so I can be fluid on that front.

Looking through the tread, I have summed up what I have observed.


I'll take the first officer role or even counselor, but my character concept and my current preference is not for the captain's chair.

I decided to go with two possible rogue builds instead of cleric. I decided to do some fun combinations, not try to recreate characters whole cloth.

What ever you say captain :D

My feeling says that captain should be an NPC. Easy way to give quests.

I consider the artillerist option more a tactical officer and the echoknight option more security.

Just go the Lasers and Feelings route and have the captain be out of commission in sickbay when you start. That way, the players have to immediately deal with a new situation

Hey #bunt would you sit on the captain's chair?

I actually like this idea slightly a bit more, but if it comes down to it, Cathamber, I wouldn't say no.

I haven't yet seen possible builds, but I was thinking on doing a Navigator that is some kind of mathematician. I'll come back with something more concrete afterwards :)

The roles, as we have been talking about them:
1. Captain
2. First Officer
3. Helm/Pilot,
4. Navigator Of. Ok
5. Comm Of. Ok
6. Security Of. Ok
7. Science Of. Ok
8. Engineer. Ok
9. Doctor. Ok
10. Counselor
11. Tactical Of. Ok
12. Cook

The roles according to Spelljammer:
1. Captain,
2. First mate,
3. Helsman,
4. Navigator,
5. Ship's Mage,
6. Doctor/Healer,
7. Quartermaster,
8. Boatswain,
9. Weapon Master.

So far, it seems we are more of a Space Station crew than a Spaceship crew...

As someone else also wants to play a science officer, I'd be happy to take another role. I'm thinking Helmsman. Probably a variant human.
