I have Waterbreathing and Waterwalking both prepared as a ritual for the group.
Don't have to worry about drowning while on sea.
I have quite a bit of items for reviving and reincarnation. If you each want a few for your self that would be great.

I have a 20-foot-radius cylinder, 20 feet high, personal dimension I can store stuff in but only have access once a day. I can stay inside 10 hours and have my familiar swim for me. I also threw a small rowboat in there, just in case. 😁

For other stuff I have a couple revivify gems on hand, can fly 4 hours, polymorph 2 (twined spell)
Huge Giant Crab Beast 8 TftYP
Sperm Whale Beast 8 IDRotF
Tyrannosaurus Rex Beast 8 MM

How much you need for the revival stuff @Smiley ? I have like 2-3k gold still, I can spare some to ensure I get resurrected lol.

Combat:
Kenjidor's combat strategy is very simple. Round 1 Shadow of Moil + Haste (on himself, the paladin, and...? 1 more person who could benefit from Haste would be good), which should give him a couple of attacks, and then on round 2 things should be dead then if all goes to plan.

For range attack he can do Eldritch Blast + Agonizing Blast in a pinch, but he's actually better with a Longbow, as all his insane bonuses will be latched on to those attacks.

At the moment I don't have any real way of attacking sea creatures, but given that we have a real caster in the group, I think I can take out Scrying and swap it for Control Water instead. I can keep scrying if no one else has it, but I can't cast it as a ritual, if that matters.

Skills:
His top skills are: Arcana +9, Initimidation +10, Investigation +9, Nature +9, Perception +6, and all Cha skills are +5 (but thankfully we have a bard, so they can handle all those social things).

Misc stuff:
- I have Silvery Barbs, which could be great if enemy crits or whatever.
- My familiar is the Fractal Mascot, which can phase in and out of objects, so can essentially go through walls. I'd rather not ever have to put it through danger, but may come in handy.
- I can cast enlarge/reduce.
- He is invisible all the time, as he can cast Invisibility at will (but using a Half-Plate, so disadvantage on stealth)
- Got Circle of Power, but not sure how often I'll use that honestly

Really though, this character is here to dish out damage, and he can do a lot of it.

He focused on taking out key players in combat. Synaptic static can damage and cause large numbers of the enemy to be greatly hindered.

Ooh, you got Devil's Sight. Maybe I should take it too, hmm....
Oct 16, 2023 11:57 pm
I just wish I knew more spells. Without Aberrant Mind I would only know 16. Sorcerer limit on spells is hard.

I plan to use Hunger of Hadar with it to blind enemies then shoot them

My Warlock only gets 13 from his class, but what I need is more slots!!!
Oct 17, 2023 1:20 am
Winks. Not in your group but Congo hordes 24 arcane spells and 15 various spell slots with 15 prepared spells and 5 cantrips.

If I remember right, Clockwork sorcerer gets something like 10 extra spells, and they can get normal sorcerer spells instead if they don’t like the bonus spells.

Same with aberrant. If I keep them or only replace with divination or enchantment I can use sorcery points 1/spell level. It fits my character concept nicely. Not much for strait damage but should be fun to play.

Hi guys, can someone give me some technical guidance please, towards getting Seelah’s image sized and formatted like everyone else’s, and how to wrap it at the left side of my posts?
Signed, a newbie lol.

No need to resize. You just upload the image into your character sheet. Once you do that, when you post, post as your character, not as the player. See the screenshot. https://i.imgur.com/yrUNDU1.png

It'll automatically pull the image from your character sheet into the post.

Adding your image to the character sheet is also simple. Just edit your sheet, and click the "Change Avatar" link:

@GreyWord : as an Aberrant Mind sorcerer I get
[ +- ] Psionic Spells
[ +- ] Psionic Sorcery
Since Mind Sliver is a cantrip does this mean I can cast it without any components, it only has verbal, without spending any sorcery points? If a 1st level spell from the list costs 1 sorcery point it makes sense to me that Mind Sliver is free. But I want to check

Are you asking if you can ignore Verbal component of the spell for free? As I stated previously - as a DM of lvl 15 game I say it is your choice as a player to decide. I will not be checking.

If you want my opinion as rules lawyer GreyWord (not as DM) - then I read " when you cast any spell of 1st level or higher" Psionic Sorcery does not affect cantrips. Next sentence confirms that by stating "If you cast the spell using sorcery points, it requires no verbal or somatic components".

Please everyone who can see this thread inform me if you also see and can post to "Chapter 1: Moonshae Isles" by voting

Can you access Chapter 1: Moonshae Isles Public

Yes I see and can post there
See, but can't post
Don't see or other issues
See but not supposed to (not Alfa team)


Thanks.

I was just missing/skipping the section 1st level or higher and it seemed odd.
