@Guardian & @ GeneCortess>
What kind of rogue subclasses have you choosen for your characters?
I there another melee character in our party? *Has to choose between mobile, sentinel, and +2 con*


I got the Stealth Skill as well (Dex 14) and Pass Without Trace, so we could try to be the stealthy ones. ;9




@GreyWord>
My character sheet is mostly done. Maybe I change the one feat and 1 subclass feature with it. But the rest should be ready to go. :)

Based on what I know @smilery, @Psybermagi, @grifter730 would be prefer frequent story interactions, while (for different reasons) - I would suggest @GeneCortess. @soises. @GuardianRory to be in the railroaded group. But let me know if you think my investigation failed there :)

I'm clueless on @Chloe and @Sarge1967 - which of game peace modes do you think you would prefer?
I would prefer to have the 1/post a day got either way. So keep it both as a minimum and as a maximum.
I have long working days and nights in European time and usually have like a 4-hour window each day to make my posts (European time 20:00-00:00).

I have dropped from games because the game progressed from "talking to an NPC at the market" to "round 2 of combat in a dungeon" during the course of my working day.

So my game pace would be 1/post a day as advertised. Not less, but also not more.

If one of those groups fits this better, I'd prefer that group :)

@Chloe i think i know what you mean. The railroad is exactly the group to avoud the problem. Can't promise 1/day though as we will move at the peace of the slovest player. That's the choice basically

@DM: I prefer the group that will post a lot. Keeping momentum going is very important to me in pbp game.

I remember the game you ran for us where we were underground fighting those fire lizard guys, and that was a really really fun even though it was railroady, but it was a pretty decent pace, sometimes doing 2-3 posts a day from what I remember.

I doubt it. In the past he ran different groups in different threads in his other game.

Congo is a level 5 rogue (inquisitive) & a level 10 wizard (enchanter) as a fisherman & male Half-Drow Elf. He has a winged familiar Tressym that can't fly.

Still working on spells & gear.

I'm about 50% done with my character sheet. I just need to put in all the spells, and other miscellaneous stuff in the sheet.

My familiar will cast either Haste or Circle of Power, but I tend to go for "the best defense is a strong offense" route, which means I prefer Haste, but if there's another caster in the party that can cast Haste instead, the combo would make the party even more formidable.

I could swap gaseous form for haste if you think it is worth it.

Depends how many physical combatants we have in the party I guess. Haste could get up to 3 people an extra attack per round, that's a massive amount of damage spread between 3 folks. It's not required by any means, and as I said, my hexblade can just cast it himself (well, his familiar), so it's not a big deal. It just means he'll be using his concentration on Haste instead of Circle of Power for the party. Just different combat style, defense vs offense. Could always switch it up, as I have both spells anyway.

Plus I'm not sure how the group split will end up.

Looks like I've got everything done with my character except what to do with all that gold. I'll likely do what Smiley did with materials for restorative magic.
