Goblinoids is always a good choice for a bad guy. Either that or the dragon that slayed my father, drove us from our mountain fortress and stole our treasure hoard! ;-)

Alright. So we have a bard, a fighter, a druid, and two clerics. We have tankiness, a variety of magic, a variety of healing...

I'm taking either Rogue or a Artificer.
Do you want to be my sibling? Brother/sister

Sure. Part of me keeps wanting to go Half Orc, but I think High Elf is what I'm running with.

@GeneCortess Info for Princess
Folk Hero
- Defining Event: I saved people during a natural disaster.

- Ideal: Respect. People deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. (Good)

Anyone else wanna be friends with Morik?

@spaceseeker19 I think I'm completely finished with my character sheet. Please let me know if I'm missing anything else.

@ everyone else, I'm still open to being friends with any/everyone. Never really played a super jolly friendly character before, but I'd be happy to be friends with anyone who needs a connection.

Alrighty... I believe I'm done. The only thing I need to do is hammer out some backstory and add the character history to the sheet. Certainly let me know if I am missing anything though!

(I did alter the background slightly, taking Nature in place of Athletics. It isn't an optional rule or anything, and Nature fit my concept much better.)

@runekyndig, @JoshuaMabry

Adran Galanodel is a male High Elf Artificer with the Wanderer background.

You're all doing great work! I have a few notes on the four character sheets I've seen, which I'll try to post later tonight. We're on the cusp of being able to start...tomorrow, perhaps?

Here's a few thoughts/observations I had on the four characters that have been submitted so far:

I have really being enjoying seeing my character come together. Stat-wise the highelf does not lend itself to the cleric, but that has its charm. The many restrictions to feats ect moves the characters away from the superhero level or the current 5e norm and that was what appeals to me the most about this game pitch as well.

I have most of my character in my head right now and will start putting on a sheet
Jan 7, 2024 7:40 am
Okay, I’ve done everything other than the background stuff. I’ll get on that tomorrow.

im rolling starting wealth and a trinket

Hmm... now where did she get that? Not from her artificer brother? A gnome ex-boyfriend perhaps?

Rolls

Starting Wealth 5d4*10gp - (5d4)

(24431) = 14

Trinket - (1d100)

(44) = 44

@spaceseeker19 do you have more information about Lunae, God of Stars and the Elves? I feel that that is hers her goodness
Also how are we doing with resource management? Do we count each arrow shot? Do we assume that we recover half afterwards?
And meet Adran Galanode's sister (@MaJunior). Stille haven't decided on her first name.
[ +- ] avatar
Twilight cleric, but nobody attends her sermons for Lunea
Leatherworker, but she is bored with shoemaking
Herbalist, but the old woman down the street is much better at it, and she just can't compete.
She dated a gnome at some point, but it ended badly
[ +- ] personality traits
Her life sucks, other than her brother, she has no real reason to stay in this town. When the announcement came, she did her best to convince her brother to leave this town and see the world
OOC:
I have submittet the sheet, and will think of a name. Perhaps tweak a cantrip or two

Edit to add a table of characters:
GeneCortess Princess (human Bard)
JoshuaMabry Gunter Gotrekson (dwarf Cleric)
WhiteDwarf Bramlin Braveless (human Fighter)
grifter730 Morik "Moonie" (dwarf Druid)
MaJunior Adran Galanodel (elf Artificer)
runekyndig (elf Cleric)


Gunter and Bramlin fought side-by-side in the past, and Gunter is friends with MaJunior's character. Moonie fought alongside Bram helping to lead an uprising, and has drank and swapped stories with Princess.
I made a quick and dirty diagram of the relationsships

It seems like my character and Princess could do with a relation. Any suggestions @GeneCortess ?

As anything, Princess is easy to hook up as going to a bar/tavern. Perhaps runekyndig's elf Cleric got caught up in her tales of adventure and/or the music of her playing.

Elowin, I got her name now, is definitely not a bar/tavern goer. She is easy to provoke into violence. It's more likely that Princess and Elowin meet on the street one evening after one of Princess's shows. Princess complained about the unfairness of elven night vision, and Elowin lent Princess the ability to see in the dark. Finding it much easier to walk home, they chatted along the way. From that day onwards, Elowin made sure to be by the inn at closing time to walk Princess home.
[ +- ] Eyes of Night
While Elowin is not patrolling the night looking for trouble like batman. She does have rather a strong view on men who pray on women at night.

Connection between Princess and Elowin: The two seems to spend some time together. Princess seems to have minor in interest in Elowin's religion and Elowin shows minor interest in Princess's playing. Both tend to out at night often. A kind of deep-rooted connection.

Gotta love secret messages.

I think that Elowin's observation of worship of Lunae is going to be particular to her and her outlander traditions, so you're free to create details here that suit you.

With regards to resource management, yes, we'll be tracking ammunition, but we'll say that half are always recovered (absent extenuating circumstances like magma terrain, fire elementals, acid creatures, airborne combat, and the like, which I will point out in the relevant encounter). When halving odd numbers, I always round down, so you'll (nearly always) retrieve the one missile you launched. That halving also applies to resistances, saves for half damage....anytime we have to take half of an uneven number.
