Just a heads up for the new players, I do have a Discord I use for my games.

Yeah. Scrafs uses a shortsword out of preference. but if you wanted to go for damage the rapier does give 1 HP more of damage on the average. For Sneak Attack she is limited to finesse weapon per A5e. She doesn't dual weapon or any other of such options. Just Sneak Attack.
She does have the good, padded leather armor and about the best light armor you can get in A5e.

Yeah I noticed it has a blend of 5e and 2nd/3rd on materials and armor but I kinda bypass all that as monk

GM: Scarfs dear past had led her some less respectable things including the knowledge of poisons. She does have a Poisoner's Kit on her but no poisons made. With the thoughts of A5e, how does one go about creating poison and their effects as well as how to use?
Is this a down time deal or buy only?

Found:
Poisoner's Kit.: Everything necessary for carefully harvesting and processing natural poisons and venoms can be found in this kit. You can attempt to harvest poisons from areas with abundant flora by spending an hour searching and making a poisoner’s kit check. On a result of 1–14 you accidentally poison yourself and suffer the effects of a basic poison. On a result of 15–19 you obtain a vial’s worth of basic poison. On a result of 20–24 you obtain a vial’s worth of advanced poison, and on a result of 25 or higher you obtain a vial’s worth of potent poison.
Scrafs's check would be DEX + Proficiency bonus? That would be +4? Meaning she is most likely to kill herself. And that being that Proficiency bonus doesn't go fast up levels. So that be fairly permanent.
So, proficiency in Poisoner's Kit for Scarfs just mean she knows a lot about poisons cause making is deadly for her? Imagine she might be able to produce cures safely.
Alternatively, with 10 minutes of work you can use a poisoner’s kit to harvest poison from the fresh corpse of a creature that naturally contained poisons. Make a poisoner’s kit check against a DC equal to the DC of the creature’s poison (if the creature’s poison has no saving throw, use 8 + the creature’s CR). On a failed check you suffer the effects of the creature’s poison, and on a success you harvest a vial’s worth of poison. You can use the creature’s poison to coat one slashing or piercing weapon or up to 3 pieces of ammunition as an action. The poison retains its potency for 1 minute or until you hit with the weapon or ammunition. Weapons or ammunition you coat in a creature’s poison inflict the same effects as shown in the creature’s statistics. Once you harvest the poison of a creature, that corpse cannot be harvested from again. (Which is a bit safer for Scarfs. Still her roll is +4.)
Dang she needs expertise or something to aid her rolls. Her background just gives her proficiency. Obviously, she is a want a be Poisoner.

I'm not seeing Read Magic as an A5e spell
It was my understanding, from 5e, that any caster class that can cast the spell on the scroll can read it. Is this the case here? If not then please explain how scrolls work.

Hmm, odd. They might have changed it. Let me check up on that and I'll get back to you...
Edit: Okay, weird. Yeah, Read Magic is no longer a thing since 5e. Perhaps it was their intention that if you find a scroll on your spell list you can identify it right away, but I haven't really found anything in the rules that specifically said that. It would make sense, but then again, I've also found that a short rest can be used to identify a magic item. I'll see if I can find the passage that specifically state that scrolls are auto-identified if in your spell list, in the mean time I don't mind telling you what the spell is since it's simply a cantrip, but I'd still like to find the actual rule just so I know for sure in the future.

Scarfs is a rogue (Non caster class) and can cast one spell. That is in her creation. Wonder how she figures in on spell scrolls and such?

[ +- ] 5e Sopell Scrolls
Spell Scroll
A spell scroll bears the words of a single spell, written in a mystical cipher. If the spell is on your class’s spell list, you can read the scroll and cast its spell without providing any material components. Otherwise, the scroll is unintelligible. Casting the spell by reading the scroll requires the spell’s normal casting time. Once the spell is cast, the words on the scroll fade, and it crumbles to dust. If the casting is interrupted, the scroll is not lost.
If the spell is on your class’s spell list but of a higher level than you can normally cast, you must make an ability check using your spellcasting ability to determine whether you cast it successfully. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level. On a failed check, the spell disappears from the scroll with no other effect.
The level of the spell on the scroll determines the spell’s saving throw DC and attack bonus, as well as the scroll’s rarity, as shown in the Spell Scroll table.

a5e as well. I did read that, but it's written in such a way that can be interpreted many ways, so I wasn't really sure if that's what you meant.
Apr 10, 2024 10:53 pm
That is 5e. As A5e is based heavily on it and I am more familiar with 5e so just checked there first.
This is from A5e
SPELL SCROLL
A spell scroll bears a sealed spell within. If the spell is on your class’ spell list, you can use the scroll to cast the spell (taking the spell’s normal casting time) without the need for material components. Otherwise the spell scroll is unreadable to you. If you are interrupted while using the scroll, you may attempt to use it again. Once the spell within a scroll has been cast, the scroll crumbles away.
To use a spell scroll of a higher spell level than you are able to cast, you must succeed on spellcasting ability check (DC 10 + the spell’s level). On a failure, the magical energy within is expended with no effect, leaving behind a blank piece of parchment.
A wizard may use a spell scroll to copy the spell stored within to their spellbook by making an Intelligence (Arcana) check (DC 10 + the spell’s level). Whether the check succeeds or not, the attempt destroys the spell scroll.
The level of the spell stored within a scroll determines the saving throw DC, attack bonus , crafting components, cost, and rarity as per Table: Spell Scrolls. The costs of a spell scroll are in addition to any material components, which are required (and if necessary also consumed) when it is made.

Don't rogues get a talent at one point or another to allow them to read magic? I know a hundred years ago they did.
