Use this area to talk about your characters, such as what options you are considering and any cross-character combinations you would like to propose. Remember: you can't make another player do anything, but you can propose whatever you want. Below are the supernatural gifts and gods of theros with their piety options up to value 10, in case you don't own the book.

Hello - I'm consittering a hexblade warlock
May 6, 2024 6:34 pm
13 levels of warlock? Sounds good. What boom and god are you going with?
May 6, 2024 7:52 pm
My initial thought is...

Variant Human, 11 levels of Fighter (Eldritch Knight) with 2 levels of Wizard (War Mage).

As for the Gift, I'd take Unscarred or Pious (not sure yet). My god would be Iroas, God of Victory.

Sounds good. Remember you also get 3 magic items that have to be DM approved (1 rare, 2 uncommon). Oh, i'll add it to the nerf section, but there was 1 nerf I wanted to do. Tell me if it ruins your character idea. Action surge allows you to cast 2 leveled spells in a turn, but that was an oversight the designers are waiting until the 2024 revision to fix. I think it is smart to go ahead and say the additional action from action surge cannot be used to cast a spell from any source (spell slot, magic item, innate spellcasting, etc.) You can still cast a spell with your original action, just not the one from action surge
May 6, 2024 9:09 pm
I was thinking

Devotion Paladin 9/Zealot Barbarian 4.
Leaning towards Variant Human but need to take a closer look at the Theros races
May 6, 2024 9:15 pm
Sound good. Just remember that you can't barbarian rage in heavy armor
May 6, 2024 9:26 pm
I wouldn't think it was an oversight. Considering a two level dip into a martial class that effectively puts you behind on spell slots, most builds are going to be paying a hefty penalty for the ability to cast one extra spell on one turn per short rest.

The penalty seems more than enough to compensate for a secobd spell.

But I digress, it doesn't impact anything I had planned, so... as you see fit.
May 6, 2024 9:52 pm
Hi, all!
I'm going with Omeros: a Nyxborn Satyr College of Eloquence Bard, devotee of Karametra the God of Harvests.
May 6, 2024 9:57 pm
I won't get into a big debate. I'll just say that in boss fights where the more damage you do and sooner, the more powerful you are, it is very strong. Either way, what is everyone else playing?

I hear Hexblade warlock, paladin9/barbarian4, and fighter11/wizard2
May 6, 2024 10:24 pm
Ok so I think I got it down:

Kelnes
Human (variant), Paladin/Barbarian
Supernatural Gift: Heroic Destiny
Deity: Iroas God of Victory
May 7, 2024 1:32 am
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)

I am trying to keep track of what people are choosing in a table at the bottom of the original post. Please tell me if anything is wrong. I think i invited 6 players, so 2 people have not said anything yet, and I think all but Annex have at least some elements left unfinished
May 7, 2024 6:56 am
I was considering human druid circle of stars, but got overwhelmed with gods and Supernatural Gifts of Theros. Will need a bit more time to decide which I want to play. But the more I'm reading this and rest nerfs the less certain I am about playing a spell caster.

I hope you don't mind me putting another 24 hours into the process of decision making.
May 7, 2024 6:59 am
I have desided against playing a spellcaster

Deity: Thassa God of the Sea
Supernatural Gift: Nyxborn
Kin: Custom lineage
Class:
- Rouge (soul blade) primarily. Might take 2 level dips in figther
- Will also give the fighter (Arcane archer) a second look

I'm going with a Siren concept

The only races allowed are theros races. custom lineage is tasha's. To keep everyone under the same rules, I request you choose a different race. Otherwise seems fine so far.
May 7, 2024 12:57 pm
Ups! Thx I'll fix that tonight
May 7, 2024 2:25 pm
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))
May 7, 2024 2:30 pm
As far as finishing characters, unless everyone finishes sooner I'd say we will probably start Monday, 5/13/2024. I'll set that as a deadline. I expect players to post most days during the week, but I don't expect posting on the weekends. Hopefully that is a generous deadline for character creation.
May 7, 2024 2:39 pm
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.

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.

[ +- ] Cloak of Displacement
May 7, 2024 4:35 pm
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.
May 7, 2024 4:36 pm
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 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.

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

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)

How about that you make your attack rolls against my character as normal, and I'll reroll the ones that are with disadvantage. Then its my obligation to keep track of my magic item and its effect?
May 8, 2024 11:43 am
That sounds good. Just make sure you mention the cloak of displacement as you do the rerolls so I don't get confused as to why. And remember that if you take damage it stops until your next turn
May 8, 2024 11:53 am
Weird question. I’ll probably be getting horseshoes of speed. Artificer armorer allows for modifying pieces of your armor. Would I be able to wear horseshoes and modify the "boots" portion of the armor?

Other than some thinking of spell selection more Kelnes is done.

Since our characters are in a group traveling to fight, would moving strategy talk best we can to OoC?

Great. I've submitted my PC, a few notes on the process
1. I'm going to play a person who earned his deity "Keeping a dangerous secret, Revealing a critical truth at an important moment" through use of Augury and Divination spells. My PC have not exactly " fought dangerous monsters before" but always been observing the process and will do it this time as well

2. I keep a few offensive spells in arsenal just in case we need them, but hope to maintain role of observer

It's a nice thought, and in most games it would be fantastic -- but with so much gold and no ability to buy common magic items we all have no real place to spend it.

How many pitons do we really need? Lol

Maybe we can petition our GM to allow one of us to have one extra rare magic item - specifically a Heward's Handy Haversack? (Or even a Bag of Holding.)
May 13, 2024 4:47 pm
If this weren't a one-shot, but a campaign, i'd probably be more allowing of common magic items and such, but seeing as this is a one shot and there are 6 of you and I'm already probably not going to remember what 3 magic items you all have already, i'm trying to keep it simple on myself. If this had been a campaign that led to this, you'd probably have more magic items than 2 uncommon and 1 rare, but I'm choosing simple but still a little generous over extremely generous and hard on myself to manage.

@runekyndig I just realized the text for the poison doesn't mention ending the poisoned condition early on a repeat save. I think it is very unlike D&D 5e to say "you failed one save from a poison and now you are poisoned for 1 hour and blinded", so i'm going to rule that it can repeat the save at the end of each of its turns. Any questions or concerns?
May 13, 2024 7:35 pm
To be fair... 5E has plenty of save or suck mechanics.

I'm more concerned that Malice is an inhaled poison, not an injury poison... coating your arrows with a gas wouldn't work.

Not at all - kind of expected the same. To be honest I think posions in d&d have a lot of room for improvement, but since I had the budget to go nuts, I did

It sounds like it is a smoke, and the idea is you would either open the vial and it would fill a square within reach or maybe throw it and when smashed it would fill the square it broke in. Neither sound like it is arrow friendly.

For the record no spell components needed to revivify Kelnes. Zealot Barbarian is excited to zealot barbarian

To be fair... 5E has plenty of save or suck mechanics.

I'm more concerned that Malice is an inhaled poison, not an injury poison... coating your arrows with a gas wouldn't work.
Fåck! I missed that bit. I'm going to pick a different poison then. Using poison is the only reason for me to use a bow

I'm going with

Wyvern Poison
DMG p258 Adventuring gear, poison (injury)
1,200 gp
This poison must be harvested from a dead or incapacitated wyvern. A creature subjected to this poison must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 24 (7d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

sounds good, that is mostly just a decent amount of poison damage and with the cost you would have been able to buy 5 at most (assuming zero gold was spent on anything else)
