Session 0 and Character creation

Ah, darn, yeah can’t add the bonuses on the default sheets.

Yes please no UA in this game. LVL 15 is already challenging for me to handle even within official rules.

As for saving throws I will not roll them for you. I will only roll ability checks. That means we are still good without custom charsheet if you don't want invest making it good enough. Especially if you have your PC on dndbeyound you could import it with once click as a 5e character sheet.

As soon as you remember to manually add that +1 or something when rolling

@Sarge1967 although I mistyped the rolls ( k is extra in 4d6kh3 ) I'm able to to see your scores are 9 (1+4+4), 11 (5+2+4), 10 (2+5+3), 13 (5+3+5), 16 (6+6+4), 11 (2+6+3). Please decive if you go with 9,10,11,11,13,16 or choose a point by instead.

P.S. If you are not sure about the roll you can use this page to test your formula

Hi folks, glad to be gaming with you!
Let’s roll some dice!

Edit - Sry for the multiple posts, still learning! lol

So it’s 9, 14, 9, 7, 14, 14. Seems like PB for me please. I’ll put something together shortly. :)

Looking forward to this. :)

Lets see what the dice have to say....

Apparently a very amicable conversation. :) 6500GP for the item....

Are we all supposed to post in the same "Chapter 0" thread, or will there be separate Chapter 0 threads for the different group?

Yes chapter 0 is same for everyone and aimed to ask DM questions he forgot/missed to share.

I believe I'm splitting you in following to parties for chapter 1. Will create two separate threads for that tomorrow.
@smilery, @Psybermagi, @grifter730 , @Sarge1967, @WhiteDwarf
@GeneCortess. @soises. @GuardianRory, @Cloe, @Knighthawke

Now that I know which group I'm in, @smiley @Psybermagi @Sarge1967 @WhiteDwarf what classes/roles are you guys playing?

I'm a Warlock (Hexblade) 15, with a heavy focus on dishing out massive amount of damage, relying on Haste (cast by his familiar through a Ring of Spell Storing), and Shadow of Moil.

Outside of combat, he's capable-ish as a party face (if no one else wants that role), but he's not actually proficient in the social skills other than Intimidation, so it'd be great if someone else could handle that role. He does have maxed out charisma though. He's also capable of being sneaky, though that would be because he's invisible all day long, not because he's actually stealthy (not proficient in Stealth skill).

I think that about covers it. What are your characters like? (If you want to share.)

Pin is a changeling built for infiltration and escape with some utility, healing, and damage spells as well. Not much for big instant damage but his sorcery lets his allies automatically save from his spells. In combat I do ranged support. Counter Spell, Polymorph, Decintegrate, Creation.
Aberrant Mind aSorcerer 12
Efreet warlock of the Chain 3

@GreyWord I spent 50 gp to buy bits of material for the Creation spell components. Let me know if there is something I can not create with. Purchased materials = adamantine, stone, wood, bone, steel, iron, paper, rope, diamond, sapphire, miscellaneous common materials

Eldritch Blast + Agonizing Blast?

eldritch but no agonizing at this time, next level but I do have +5 thunder damage from Genie on all attack rolls with damage

yes let's not complicate this - you can purchase any number of healing potions (not greater/superior/supreme though, just simple ones) you will hardly need more than few anyway
@Psybermagi yes you did great with materials.

Hi folks,

I’ll be playing Seelah (I love what Paizo did with the Pathfinder Iconics, artwork, storylines and such). She’s a 15th level Paladin (Devotion), with all the usual trappings (tank, face/Persuasion, healing etc).

Looking forward to our game!

Druid. Blaster/Healer mostly. I have water walk and water breathing prepared. Plus Wild shaping stuff.



@GreyWord My post in prelude is still about right. The only question she has is when they are leaving.

Wand of Secrets; UNCOMMON/DMG
The wand has 3 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 of its charges, and if a secret door or trap is within 30 feet of you, the wand pulses and points at the one nearest to you. The wand regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn.

I'm looking at a Bladesinger Wizard for my concept. Seems a flexible build, potentially a dual wielding one, but more I get into the build I'll narrow that down.

Thanks a lot Psybermagi! This table really helps. 👍

I will take the Sentinel Feat as we have a second melee character now, next to Bhrok :)
