Thanks for accepting me! I'm working up my character now.

Just to make sure, are we doing standard point-buy and officially using the adaptable humans?

Once I realized we really are following the same path, I stop reading your thread :)

We have ended up with adaptable or variant humans. I prefer point but but if you want rolled you can do some 4d6D1 here.

Hopefully after we hit the branching points people will start having different stories, but the idea as everyone was exploring the same game space. I don't mind if you read each other's threads, but I will silently judge you for it...

Don't sweat it. It isn't required that you all are doing this at the same time. Also in theory it's making me better as I've just submitted an honours thesis and am in the process of sitting an exam as I write this! (It's a three day take home which looks quite reasonable so I'm not flipping out and going offline.)

What would you like us to do with extra Languages from backgrounds and the like? :) Almost done with the character!

Languages aren't really going to come into play...

Right, I thought not. So if a background gave one or two to us, would you mind us replacing them with a tool proficiency?

Definitely do!

Thanks!

Honestly I kinda like the sound of the lethality, but I am more a veteran of the video games then I am of DnD. I will follow with whatever choice you all made earlier.

It's not that I'm not a fan of a high lethality game. It's just that on a PbP having to grind through combats over and over again isn't going to be enjoyable...

Truth. So I am working on my dude now. From what I understand we can use anything from the PhB as far as classes? I'll be doing the variant human you posted. Any restrictions? Like I can use the underdark one despite that not being in the game?

Who said there isn't an underdark? There is so much stuff underground in the setting...

Any WotC published class + UA permitted.

Cool thanks! I'll be ready to go by the end of the night. Do we need a backstory or is it cool if we fit more with the dark souls theme of not having much of a past we remember?

Should be my last question, but are we going to be able to use spells like Cure Wounds?

Cure Wounds states: "This spell has no effect on undead or constructs," and since we're all Undead, I thought that I should ask.

In this case I defer to the source material. We can see undead using Devine magic to heal, so you can heal yourselves with divine magic (ie cure wounds).

It didn't specify in the book, If I am multi-classing straight from the get-go, Is my equipment coming from the starting class or can I pick between the two?

Or in this game do we start with nothing, as in Dark Souls?

You can choose some mixture, within reason.
