Character Concepts & Campaign Info

Vad has a bad habit of performing cantrips from time to time as a way of 'releasing energy' without taking considerations of his surroundings. This has obviously gotten him into some trouble in the past. The power and energy behind his sorcery is not under his control and if he goes a prolonged amount of time without using it he starts to get edgy and uncomfortable.

EDIT: BullOctorok, check out the Wild Magic Surge (PHB: 103) for the fun you can have as a GM with a Wild Magic Sorcerer.

Oh, I like that looks of that table...

*Looks up table*
Holy. Shit.

This is bonkers. You could literally become so young you cease to exist. I think the feather beard is my favourite.

It is pretty awesome.

wild magic table is the best.

Just in case it wasn't contextually obvious,

Green text is a prompt for the players to do something

Blue text is an out-of-story aside

Red text...I'm sure we'll find a use for it sooner or later

Does it matter what players use for OOC text?

No, as long as its clear. Brackets or "OOC:" are fine, blue would be nice for consistency, but whatever works for you

Just a small mechanical query - what gives Cockroach/Tzipporah advantage on the Performance roll they just made?

I have the Actor feat. Which says "You gain advantage on deception and performance checks to impersonate someone else, you can imitate the sounds or speech of another creature, and you gain +1 Cha"
if I am misunderstanding that just use the first roll.

Ah cool. I think I (D&D novice) would read it as the advantage is on impersonating a human, not on imitating an animal (imitating an animal is just something you can also do), BUT you are technically impersonating a human imitating an animal so a charitable DM could give you advantage anyway *cough* ;)

It could be ruled/argued either way lol. But it's easier in this format just to roll it and the DM can decide how he wants to use it. Either way, I'm cool with it. :) But after all those pitiful rolls gonna use every advantage I got lol

As far as OOC stuff I think I will be using brackets from here on out. I post mostly from my phone and it doesn't always like the color changing pull down menu.

Guys I am so sorry I forgot to post this week. School's getting busy for the end of the semester next month. I'm gonna jump in at the next good point for it, so I'll be keeping an eye out for one.

I feel like I'm posting too much? Taking the story into my own hands too often? I'm really sorry if I'm not playing this out right. Remember, I'm still new to this :/ Should I be doing this differently?

You're doing fine. In the other games I'm involved in on here it seems everyone gets their chance somewhere along the line. Just don't get us killed and everything will be all right. :-)

I'm in the same boat - completely new to this. I got the impression that if the DM wanted to wait for input from others, he would indicate that somehow.

Yeah, you're all fine. I generally try to allow time for everybody who wants to weigh in before moving the story forward, and it's inevitable that the more active players are going to drive things.

Quick gameplay question:
The spell Guidance says
What does it mean by "ability check"? Is an "ability check" a persuasion, nature, religion, etc skill check?

Yeah, that.
