How does this sound?

Human (variant of course) druid, circle of stars, Nyxborn - Kruphix (God of Horizons) .
Rare item: Moon Sickle +2
Uncommon: Immovable rod; Sentinel Shield (if allowed as it is from DMG not from listed sources)
[ +- ] a picture that inspired me
Not the final avatar yet.

P.S. This character should give us more than a decent perception some emergency healing as well as versatility of spells such as Guidance, Pass without Trace.

Looks good. I'm typically hesitant to give out magic items that buff spell save DCs, but I'll try to be more lax on this one shot (a. because it is a one shot and b. because i'll be buffing everything for the 6 players that are here). I assume the sentinel shield will be wooden, so a druid can use it. As for the immovable rod, I'll allow it, but that can be a very shenanigan item, so just be warned that it will be very hard, if impossible to do things like "I shove it down the monster's throat and now the monster is permanently unable to move" and such. I enjoy creativity, but not as much when it trivializes noteworthy enemies. Minions, fine, bosses, not as much. It's not as fun after the fact if something becomes anticlimactic.

OK. Let's beef him up!

Omeros
Satyr, Hexblade Warlock
Deity: Keranos the God of Storms
Supernatural Gift: Nyxborn
Magic Items (Pending Approval): Sunblade (Rare), Rod of the Pact Keeper +1 (Uncommon), Studded Leather +1 (Uncommon)
the +1 armors I can find are all rare

Oh, that's right. shields are uncommon, but armor starts at rare (after all, crazy AC can be really good). If you want to replace the sun blade with +1 weapon, you can keep the armor.

Kin: Custom lineage Human Variant

Looks good. I will note: the final boss's petrification ability is not a spell, and other than that you may or may not fight spellcasters. With that in mind, are you good with the mantle of of spell resistance? I wanted to make sure you weren't assuming it would work on the petrification ability.

Then I suggest
[ +- ] Cloak of Displacement

If you don't like Moon Sickle I can change it to Staff of the Woodlands and change subclass from Stars to Shepherd, but I would be focused on summoning minions in a combat - are you ready for that burden as DM? At least I would be able to promise not use save or suck spells on the boss if that's your fear.

Settled on Pious.

Mostly done, except for equipment. I think. Assuming I don't make any last minute changes. Which is always a risk with me. Lol

I'm also mostly done - Need to spends some coins on common equipment, but other than that I think I got all of it

Shoot, you're right! Thanks. I'll probably switch to hide instead plus an uncommon Cloak of Protection.

I have heard cloak of displacement can be too good. Disadvantage on most attacks until you are harmed can mean what should be 2 or 3 hits can become 0 hits. That said, I think i'll allow it this once (but only on one PC, no one else), just to see if it is as bad as people say. You'll have to remind me about it, though, as with 6 PCs it will be hard to remember that you specifically have it.

I'm fine with moon sickle this time. I think the modified legendary resistance will make that less of a big deal. By the time it is having to make DC 20 saving throws, it is already on half hp and probably only a round or two from dead anyways.

All good. I'll update the list. On monday, I won't let anyone make any changes.

So regular hide armor + cloak of protection to keep the sun blade? Hide armor and studded leather provide basically the same AC (unless your DEX is 16 or more, when studded leather is best) so whichever way you want to go

Artificer/fighter Centaur.

Triton
Pally9/Barb 4
Molten Bronze Half-Plate

Luckstone

Studded leather, it is, and a Cloak of Protection.

Seems good so far. Just need Basil's character. Go ahead if you haven't already and make the character and submit them. I'm curious what feats the 4 variant humans took, as well as everyone else since you are level 13 and could potentially have 3 ASIs (thus might have maxed out main stat and then took a feat at lv 12)

Just so everyone is aware, you will all get the following:
- 3x Potion of Greater Healing (House rule: must use action to drink, but no rolling: heals max (so 20 hp every time))
- 1x Potion of Stone to Skin (cures petrification when entire potion is poured over victim's head (if still attached))
Sweet... especially the last one.
