Out of Character and character creation

Hey, really odd question, but due to the nature of the game will we actually have the chance to level up, or are the characters static between hunts?

No, I'm sorry if this wasn't clear. Take this as a one-shot game. Almost like Adventures League.

Once complete, I will prepare the next hunt, and recruit again for that, and those would be for a different level. If you participated in one hunt, you will carry over the item from that hunt to the new one.

I'm trying for more, but shorter games.

Please answe my questions as well. :)

Do we need a discord? I haven't made one for a game before, but I can if you guys want one.

Yes, customise your 2024 background. I have stolen this this but its good
Items: I would like you to present your wishlist and then I'll make the two rolls

I just wasn't sure if it was going to be progressive one shots or standalone one shots.

Also, I've never used Discord and don't plan to start. Feel free to make one for others though.

What parts of the Guide to Monster Hunting should I read, as a player? I started with the Introduction, but it started referring to me (the reader) as a GM and seemed like it was giving information I didn't know if I should have. I skipped to the Races and read that plus Classes.

I was thinking of rolling a Cyclopean Cleric. Later tonight I was going to play with Roll20 to see how I much I can integrate for that Race/Species and look into the different Domains, including Hunter Domain.

Does that sound like a helpful addition? I figure with a melee/tank and rogue, that made sense. But I also think the Cyclopean's Myopic background makes a lot of sense for Wizard, so let me know any thoughts.

I'm fine with Discord and fine without.

Excited!

Concept
Looks like I'm going with sorcerer. A charismatic acolyte with lot of secrets and ambitions.

P.S. Limiting myself to free rules, so bear with my not optimal for combat, but fun to play PC.

Dont worry, I'll be doing the same xD

@runekyndig Sorry if this is a dumb question, what are the expectations for character creation medium? Like should we use DnDBeyond? Or should we use the gamers plane character builder? How do you want our list of magic items (in the thread or in a PM?)

There is no need to read the Guide to Monster Hunting. There is nothing in that book that we will be using, apart from the adventure and its monsteres. I would actually prefer that you did'nt read it ;)
HgtMh is not on the list of allowed sorce materials. I know it has some sub-classes in it, but they lean heavily into the crafting items from monster parts and we are not going to explore that here.

On of the things that HgtHm is introducing is more unique monsters with different mechanics. For example (from an adventure I will not be running) is oozes that will mutate and their description will change as their damage resistance change. So the ooze in front of the barbarian will turn scaly (resistance to slashing) while the ooze fighting the warlock have purple shards inside itself (resistance to psychic damage).
This is the part I'm exited about :)
I suggest that you make it as you are most comfortable with and then go to this tread and pick up a 5e 2024 character sheet, and fill that in.
Then you submit that character sheet to this game. I will check it over and accept it.
Then you will have everything you need here, character information, integrated die roller ect.

Reguarding items, if you want to keep it privat I suggest that you write a post here and put it into Note brackets

[note="runekyndig"]
1: Rare item 1
2: Uncommon item 1
3: Uncommon item 2
4: Uncommon item 3
[/note]

And I will roll and count from the top. In this case it would be Uncommon item 1 and Uncommon item 2

Character submitted. I believe I copied all important stuff from beyond here, but may need to update some, let me know if you are missing some important stuff there

Item wish list is in character sheet but copied here as well

Looks good GreyWord

Ive submitted my Character as well!

Looks good.

I submitted a character, too. @runekyndig Please let me know if I need to add, edit any of that character sheet.

I had originally started with the Cyclopian Race from Heliana's Monster Guide, but changed to a Halfling. I made the Cyclopian character in Roll20, from scratch. It was honestly much easier to just switch to DND Beyond, though, lol.

P.S. In 2024 Twinned Spell is reworked. I can only use it to make more PCs haste, fly or invisible. Can't aim offensive magic at another enemy. Some call it nerf, but but twinned haste isn't bad at all. Looking forward to use it in this game

It seems like you are missing a tool from your background
And an basic attack option other than dagger

There are still some character tweaks to do, and @MaJunior has'nt submitted his character yet, BUT I have unlocked the game tread and you can make your in-game introduction and ask the druid some questions if you like before he guides you to the shine

@runekyndig: I updated my character sheet, but haven't added the Spell details yet (I'm a web developer, so it's hard for me to not get lost in the markup, lol.) I'll get to that tonight.

Thanks so much!

Hehe no worries

Should have him in by tonight.
