Leveling Up Rolls

Roll all things for leveling up here (HP and whatever else)

HP, please roll. If you get less than the average for your class, feel free to take the average + CON mod as per the chart below

1d4 HD - +3
1d6 HD - +4
1d8 HD - +5
1d10 HD - +6
1d12 HD - +7

I want you guys to have a chance at great health, but feel like you'll face enough threats to those precious HP points that I don't want you all gimped. :)

Per the change to the HP rules I just implemented (since I was dumb and forgot) you can take 5+1 for 6 added HP (putting you at 15). Roll or Average, whichever is highest is what you'll get. :)

Good Deal and the only other change I can see for me is I gain cunning action.
Which lets me take a bonus action to Hide, Dash or Disengage.

Yeah, I think that's all rogues pick up at 2. Not a bad pickup, especially as the Hide part can come in handy in times when the enemy ISN'T engaged in melee. Though with your crew, I imagine those times will be few and far between.

Oh can any of these armors fit Stool ? Maybe I will give him a dagger too.

If you take 10 minutes to cut a set of studded leather armor down a bit, yes, it will fit him. He's oddly shaped, being a mushroom and all. He would take the dagger, but he's not skilled with it at all. He'd probably be more effective just hitting people with his hand.

As for timing, you've got just about 2 hours until any activity is likely to happen down at your end. Shift change happens in the middle of the normal work party shifts (so there's either a guard change or a work party drop/retrieval happening every 2-ish hours). You're kind of off the clock until that time.

I'd be willing to let one of you train your mushroomy friend and sidekick to a class level. I'll post up details on training NPC followers in a different thread (since I don't think it's exactly a normal system structure. and if it is, I'm gonna make up my own system, with blackjack and hookers......oh wait, wrong universe).

Good deal.

NPC Training posted. I've also update the Loot/Acquisitions page with the current NPC loyalty points. Everyone (pretty much) is at a 2 point ranking with you folks, since you did engineer their escape to this point. As they are not yet free of danger, they haven't increased trust beyond that.

Eldreth has more trust for you because you are (primarily) surface dwellers, and Cemos is a dwarf.
Sarith has less trust for you because he still believes you are scum, even if you did manage to save his life. He primarily went along with this charade because he was so intimidated by you guys at the outset.
Stool is VERY trustful of you guys, partly because of the care you've all shown to keep him safe and the fact that you are using his tools in your grand plan. He loves every minute of it.

Hmmmm ok need to find that page

Right here!

Thanks found it. Almost feel like calling dibbs on Stool. Because the idea of a Mushroom burglar is so amusing.

Hit point roll

So I get spells now and I am not sure how it works. Do I have to choose one spell from the list in the phb or do I have access to all of them and I have to choose what one to rdy when the time comes?

Also do I get any more attribute points to put into dextel, str,ect

At 4th level we all do, though I dont know if Paladins do earlier.
You also get radiant strike and can trade a spell slot to do radiant damage which is pretty amazing. Your pool of healing points goes up as well.

At defined levels for your class (which I think everyone has the choice at level 4) you can choose to do the following:
*Add 2 points to any stat, without raising it over 20
*Add 1 point to any 2 stats, without raising either over 20
*Take a feat (some of which include a small stat boost and additional mechanics)

As for spellcasting
After each long rest, you can prepare a number of spells up to your charisma modifier plus 1/2 your level rounded down (so in this case, you have a +2 and 1 from the level calculation, meaning you can prepare three different 1st level spells off the paladin list). You currently have 2 spell slots available per long rest.

Paladin Spell Slot usage
You can use your slots to cast spells of appropriate level OR to trigger Divine Smite. With Smite, you choose to use a spell slot in order to deal an extra 2d8 damage to a target you just hit. Doing this will expend a spellslot (so right now you can only do it 2 times for every time you get a full night's rest).

I'm going to rule that those of you that gained spell levels can immediately choose to prepare spells to fill slots you just gained (so no changing spells you already have prepared Bildaweer, as you don't have your spellbook back yet).

@Bildaweer, I will say that you can record any new spells you may have gained for your spellbook on a piece of scrap paper you find in the guard shack.

@BFM, don't forget to pick your fighting style as well at level 2.

Hit point roll

Yes, there is a mechanical maximum. For example, if you end up wearing full plate (which you shouldn't have had to start, I think pallies only get chain to start. full plate is like 1500 gold), you end up being at 18 AC. If you add a shield to it, you go to 20. If you go Defense style, it goes up to 21.

Beyond that, there are some magical items that would provide you with some additional bonuses on top of that.

And a 21 AC is perfectly fine. Partially because you won't realistically be sneaking anywhere with that get up on. And it's also one of the reasons (mixed with lay on hands) that pallies are some of the best damage soaking tanks out there in 5e.

Ya there is a buff that gives +2 at lvl one , so I think ill go defense unless the max ac is like 23 or something

By mechanical max I mean armor items only go up so high, and you can only have so many magical items or effects at one time. I think the mathematical max is like 43 or 45 all told.

I was thinking of going with the Assassin Archtype, and thought our Eladrin Rogue was going the Arcane Trickster route.
Though my character is ending up nicer and less grim. Drama would it be ok to change to a different Archtype choice since we haven't hit 3rd level yet ?

Absolutely. :) Feel free to use any of the archetypes in the PHB or in the SCAG. Wizards made one of the archetypes from SCAG free to download (The Mastermind). It would fit well with what you are currently playing as. :)

https://media.wizards.com/2015/downloads/dnd/SCAG_RoguishArchetype_m39d.pdf

Wow that doesn't look too bad. I would have some wasted proficiencies but Mastermind looks cool.

If it's something you already have a proficiency in, we can work on alternate choices or handling methods. :) Which ones would be "wasted"?

Disguise and Forgery.

I do like the help action too.

I was thinking going with Arcane Trickster that is why I wanted to talk to Bildaweer. Dustin would be amazed with casting magic but this Mastermind seems like a really good group minded rogue

If you end up going with Mastermind, I'll let you extend your roguish Expertise to the Disguise kit. Forgery, I'll let you pick another kit that you'd like to take proficiency in (pending approval).

If you end up going Arcane Trickster, that could work to. I think playing it off of working with Bildaweer would be awesome, provided wpw is down for it. :)

I wanted Poisoneers kit and the mastermind gets proficiency with a gaming set which is cool.
Get a game of poker going in game heh. We gave Jim jar the cards.

Poisoner's kit I could get behind.

Ok I will keep it in mind and also see what wpw might think.
Though I do really like that help others as a bonus action that could be handy.

So I am going to wait to pick my oath till I read them all and mabe find a good spot in game to actually take my for some epic rp ish. But until then...

Posy roll: so I'll be taking the 6 +2 for that lol

Yes I think we all get Archtypes here.

Go ahead and read through and pick it, we'll work out how you start coming into your powers.

For those of you that know your archetypes, woo!

Sounds cool Cosmic

Level up.

Woo max points!

Way to go Fang we need someone to be uber healthy !

Hit dice rolls

Also are we allowed to take feats?

Post roll: hot damn that's max Hp baby.

Yes, if you'd like to forgo the normal ASI and use a feat instead, I'm all for it. Just let me know the summary of your level up changes in here and such (feats vs. ability scores, new spells, yada blahda)

Sweet roll Cemos !

I havent maxed HP since 1st level

Define sense charges equals 3
Lay on hands healing pool equals 20
My Health points equals 41 now
Spell slots stay at 3 and I'm going to keep my spells the same for now.
And I will be taking the heavy armor Master feat which will increase my strength score by 1 and reduce all bludgeoning piercing and slashing damage I receive by 3

Thumbs up at Cemos Feat !

Good deal. Please make sure you note (and adjust) your Chain Mail's AC because of the ooze damage. It is permanently reduced by 2 until you can find a town with a blacksmith that can repair it for you.

Were getting Cemos some Platemail !

Find that gold! ;) 1500 GP at a nice fair vendor.

WHoah... well some day.

P.S. need to go home to look at my books for the level up. Not sure what I get though I will take a Feat I am pretty sure.

Ya on the main slot it still says 19 but that's more for me as a new player to remember the original ac. Thereplenish is a note that shows the -2 and why in the margin of my player notes.

If you have a smart phone you can download the phb pdf off Google for free. It's actually all I use lol.

And as for the plate mail I am sure we will get there, but after I get my armor fixed I'll be good on gear for awhile and would prefer you guys to get the stuff you need first.

Oh snap that's 2 max Hp, keep them going, who is next

Come on bildaweer we believe in you.

nice! What does war caster do?

You have practiced casting spells in the midst of combat, learning techniques that grant you the following benefits

You have advantage on Constitution saving throws that you make to maintain your concentration on a spell when you take damage.
You can perform the somatic components of spells even when you have weapons or a shield in one or both hands.
When a hostile creature’s movement provokes an opportunity attack from you, you can use your reaction to cast a spell at the creature, rather than making an opportunity attack. The spell must have a casting time of 1 action and must target only that creature.

A good choice for any spell caster.

Hit points

Bildaweer you can feel free to learn Identity no problem, or any of the other spells I have.
Can't wait till 5th level my shock bolt will do 2d10 lightning.

I am thinking all the pc's need to carry one of those health potions on them, I'll be fine because I can heal and if nobody wants the mace I'll take it as a side weapon just incase we run into something that can only be hurt by magic weapons. What does that spell component bag do? Is that something me or fang would need for our spells?

A spell component bag can stand in for material components. A spell focus does the same thing.

OK so my lay on hands pool is now 25 and I have 4 lvl 1 spells and 2 lvl 2 spells I can also make 2 attacks

HP

Also just as a reference for the dm I switched up my spell list a bit.
Currently I have ready: cure wounds, Divine favor, Shield of faith, bless, aid and magic weapon.

Good deal BFM. As a note, you're free to do that after every long rest if you'd like. You don't have to wait for levels to change up your prepared spells.

Wait do I get a new Cantrip this level ?

Nope. You don't pick up another until 10th level.

Whoah O_O Gulp

How do you want us to inform you of our prepared spell list?

Just FYI, I took the standard HP from PHB.

You can either put up a post in the game thread or keep it updated on your character sheet.

HP Rolls... can I take the average?

Yup! In general, my games will always be roll or average, whichever is higher. The only way I'd change that is if we were intentionally playing a game where you were intended to be weak (which seems unfun to me).

well poop ill take the 6+2 then
also the only other thing I get is aura of protection. so if your in 10 ft of me and have to make a save you get to add my cha mod

HP
