Ulfren is gruff and simplistic, even for a dwarf. Barbaric and bear-like, he is loyal to his dwarven clan and his fellows, and considers it the highest honor to stand shoulder-to-shoulder against all threats. Very mistrustful of other races or tribes.

I'm rolling too! Can we take the standard after seeing our rolls if they are particularly bad? Also, do we get any rerolls?
Also, can we use UA (Unearthed Arcana) material? I'm looking at the UA Revised Ranger with the UA Primeval Guardian Conclave, so that's a bit of an important question... xD

@DM, can we make marginal changes to our starting equipment to reflect our a) higher level and b) being dwarves? For example - as a ranger I get leather armor and a longbow (among other things), which I feel doesn't fit a dwarf as well. Could I take studded leather armor and a shield (by virtue of being level 3) and a warhammer (15 gp) and shortbow (25 gp) in place of the longbow (50 gp) to better fit my character?

Oh yeah, I'm gonna rock those low stats! Well, I guess I'll go Hill Dwarf for the +1 Wis, +2 Con and do a Druid 2 / Cleric 1 multiclass. I'd like to make my character an old man even by Dwarf standards to give a RP reason for my poor physical stats.

2, 2, 6, 4
1, 6, 2, 1

You just had to take the second number out of each bracketed set. It rolls another die and adds it to the total every time you rolled a 6, which was, coincidentally, quite a few times (8 times, actually).

"Greetings, fellows."
Baern is a young dwarf, barely into his 30s. He wears a solid armor suit, but it is detailed all over with leaf and nature references. He isn't a very talkative type--seems to prefer trees to people--but he opens up occasionally.

I thought about changing my plans since lenpelletier is going with a cleric, but I decided to stick with it. My PC will be a level 2 life Cleric/level 1 Bard.
McDunno sent a note to lunitar
Feb 5, 2017 6:10 am
Not sure the reasons that lunitar lenpelletier chose cleric but if it was for healing, I'd say we have enough and he could go full druid.

Feb 5, 2017 5:24 pm
HypCo, you are probably right. I originally chose that combination because of my poor stats. Now that I have better stats and McDunno is a cleric, let's go full Druid. I'd like to play him as a Dwarf who was forced to choose between his family's desire for him to continue the family wizarding tradition and his own desires to pursue his innate connection to nature. Ultimately he could not deny his affinity with nature and chose to be true to himself rather than sacrifice for his clan.

Dwarves don't smile, unless they're killing something, drinking brew or blacksmithing... did I leave out any stereotypes?

Billy's a pretty happy dwarf. And I'm having a hell of a time finding an avatar of a smiling dwarf bard that doesn't look awful. Even in most of the art I can find of a dwarf with an instrument, the dwarf looks pissed.

I've submitted Gunnar Ironshot, Hill Dwarf, Folk Hero, Gunsmith, your drinking buddy.
I'm just finalizing his equipment list (selling stuff so I can buy extra artisan's tools). He has a pair of Sending Stones, which I imagine will come in handy when Gunnar takes up sniping position. Will have to work out which one of you will hold the other stone.

It's basically a magic walkie-talkie!
SENDING STONES
Wondrous item, uncommon
Sending stones come in pairs, with each smooth stone
carved to match the other so the pairing is easily
recognized. While you touch one stone, you can use an
action to cast the sending spell from it. The target is the
bearer of the other stone. If no creature bears the other
stone, you know that fact as soon as you use the stone
and don't cast the spell.
Once sending is cast through the stones, they can't be
used again until the next dawn. If one of the stones in a
pair is destroyed, the other one becomes nonmagical.

Feb 6, 2017 4:06 am
I think that qualifies as a gnome, CancerMan!
Jabes, if I was playing a rogue (I almost did) that guy would be perfect.
This is tough! If I still had my copy of Photoshop from my sign-making days, I could cobble something together. I have the feeling that its absence is somehow tied to my ex packing my things a few years back.
Every happy-looking Dwarf looks drunk, psychotic, or mentally ill.

HAH! That got a good laugh out of me! I think I'd rather draw a stick figure than stare at one of those each time I posted!
I found a program close enough to Photoshop that I can tweak the one with the cards and beer with the lute on his back. I threw in a dulcimer, got rid of the cigar, and closed his mouth a bit. I'm trying to move his mouth so he looks more like he's smiling. His eyes still look crazy, but it's close enough. It's just an avatar, not central casting. I was just disappointed that nearly every drawing of a dwarf made them all look like angry assholes. None of them seemed to have what could pass for a genuine smile.

Baern Rumynheim is a strange dwarf. He is taller and slighter than his fellows, and does not seem to be able to grow an honest beard. Perhaps some elvish blood runs in his veins. He is quiet, preferring the company of trees and animals to that of people as a general rule. He keeps to himself, observing what goes on around him from under his cowl.
At an early age, Baern simply left the cavernous halls of his clan, drawn to the forests under the sky. He ran in with an ancient druidic cult and stayed there, taking on elven customs as his own. Over time, his attunement to nature and relative lack of magical proficiency led him to be selected for an ancient and hallowed position--Primeval Guardian of the forests. He was gifted with the abilities this position affords, and for several years used them as he had been taught. However, something more called him to leave the sanctuary of the wooded expanse and set out upon this journey.
Here he is, folks! Watch out--he grows.

I couldn't find anything resembling lenpelletier's screen shot! I futzed around until I got to a thing that said "generate link." That got me there. This is the first time I used imgur. I didn't want to and I didn't want to start an account. Not much makes me feel my age, but trying to get this damn thing into an image-sharing site and to work right makes me want to go home, get into my robe, and drink a nice glass of Metamucil.

Meet Phineas Feldsparr, Dwarven Circle of the Moon Druid!
Phineas' small physique and happy-go-lucky nature often gets him mistaken for a Halfling, much to his father's embarrassment. He is a man torn between two worlds; although born to a long line of Wizards, he betrayed his father's lineage to pursue his natural affinity for nature. He left his clan to become a guardian of the wild and to pursue his connection with nature, yet still remained mindful of how he might still be of service his clan and his people. As he grows in power, he fights to maintain his connection to a culture that doesn't understand his choices.

Hey len? Since Phineas is a druid, perhaps he could be from the same Circle as Baern and he could be helping him on his quest. Perhaps they were friends in the Circle, and when Baern sort of went rogue Phineas, as his best friend, decided to go with him? That would explain why a druid is trudging through a frozen wasteland on this quest that has little to do with the protection of the forests.

Wow, that's an amazing story about Ferb! I haven't heard of Phineas and Ferb ... my two boys are 4 years old but haven't gotten into that one yet.As for the cat Ferb, it's not the first time he got out. We used to live on a farm and had three stray cats we rescued, Ferb and Stan Shortly (my daughter is awesome at naming animals) were feral kittens. Inside, they're the most loving and affectionate cats you can imagine. If they get out, though, they instantly revert to their feral nature, and it's almost impossible to get close to them. Until they haven't eaten for a while, that is.
When we moved six months ago, I didn't realize a window screen was loose in the new house until I saw the two cats wandering around outside. I kept seeing Stan Shortly once in a while, but never Ferb. It took Stan Shortly a couple months to get hungry enough for her to get close enough to grab, but Ferb never showed up. A week ago, we started getting glimpses of him. Finally, on Saturday he came close enough to grab him. He clawed the hell out of my hand, but I got him inside, got him a flea treatment, and checked him for worms before releasing him into gen pop. Within an hour, he was in my lap, purring like crazy, like he had never left. My daughter was at her mom's for the weekend and was in tears when I called her to tell her about it.

Lunitar, I'd like to work with you to determine what Wild Shapes are appropriate for the world of Talos. Any restrictions? I know some DMs like to limit the amount of Wild Shape forms their players can assume and have their druid PCs accumulate new forms as they adventure. I'm cool with whatever your preference is.

Hey CouchLord, I had in fact missed your post. I like the idea of Baern and Phineas being from the same Circle.
Lunitas said that our party was on a mission to aid Lord Reinhel against a hoarde of orcs in a time before the land was a barren, frozen wasteland. It likely was a land of forests and farms when we started our journey, but during the mission Lord Reinhel sent a wave of ice across his island in a fit of despair, transforming the island and freezing us in time.
I think the reason why Phineas would have embarked on this mission was to answer the call of his people. Phineas retained strong ties to his King and his people, even though they always don't understand or appreciate his choices. He was probably eager to demonstrate that his non-traditional form of magic could be useful to the Kingdom. I can see how the Dwarven leaders would send non-traditional Dwarves who are used to the surface world.
Perhaps you came on the mission for similar reasons? If you would rather have your character 'turn rogue' then maybe you had issues within the circle and saw this mission as an opportunity to leave? Either way, I think it's cool that we left together.

OK, cool!
I think I will stick to the 'turning rogue' idea. The Circle did not want Baern to go, claiming that his role of Guardian bound him to the Forest. But, for reasons which Baern does not readily disclose, he left anyway, rebelling against the Circle.
But, we can still be from the same place! Adds a little depth, which is always good (in my opinion).

That brings up a good point; we are all part of the same unit that was sent at the behest of our king, which means we're all members of the clan in some form or another.
Ulfren works the forge for his king, and in times of war he is part of the spearhead of berserkers that charge into the front lines. He would have been sent on this mission purely to lend his fighting ability. Obviously I'm playing the part of an obedient soldier and willing volunteer that holds the king and clan higher than his own personal regard.

Baern is on this mission because a) he would simply not stay at home b) he hates orcs with a burning passion and c) he has some rather uniquely helpful abilities.
Feb 6, 2017 8:41 pm
Phineas volunteered to be on this mission to prove himself. He sees it as his big opportunity to make his family see the merit of his unusual choices. He was likely selected because of his ability to operate in the wilderness indefinitely and the utility of his Wild Shape ability (can be sneaky or formidable).
Sounds like Ulfren would be a natural choice to be this unit's commander if you're interested, CancerMan! How do you think he'd feel about commanding these odd Dwarves?

Probably not, as Ulfren is a barbarian and won't make the best tactical decisions in combat nor in diplomacy.
However! If no one else wants to be the "leader" and lunitar approves, I could rework Ulfren to be either a Fighter (Battle Master) or a Monk, either of which would fit the role more appropriately.

I could see a great argument for McDunno's character, Billy, to be the leader. A Cleric has the authority and a Bard has the Charisma to lead.
Really, anyone who wants to could be the leader. Alternatively, we could have had our commanding officer die in the blast.

Honestly with the way this is shaping up I think your last option (commander's death) might be our best option--none of us seem to really be the commanding type, at least not yet. Besides, I think that having lost our commander in the blast and coming out in the middle of hostile territory with no leader makes for a really cool story as well as ammo for some really cool RP moments/character conflicts.

When I created Gunnar I chose the Folk Hero background and the following trait: "Recruited into a lord’s army, I rose to leadership and was commended for my heroism." But I didn't intend for Gunnar to be the party's leader. The way I see it he was just a crack shot grunt who was at the right place at the right moment and was promoted to leadership despite his reluctance. I like the idea of the unit's leader dying in the blast. Will Gunnar step up and take charge? We'll have to wait and see.

For Ryyrik, he actually melds well with most, if not all, the group.
He is a commendable fighter so that could tie him in with Ulfren and Gunnar.
For his free time, he is an entertainer so that ties him in with Billy the Bard.
He has experience with nature, so that ties him in with Baern and Phineas(?).
I like the blast leader idea too.

Hey Lunitar,
At 5th level, druids get access to the Conjure Animals spell. The way it works is that I pick the number of animals I want to summon, and then Lunitar would pick the animals with the corresponding CR, as described in the spell writeup.
Lunitar, how do you feel about this spell? Does it add a lot of work onto your plate?

Okay Hero and Coach, it appears they have a sorcerer and barbarian. I am thinking of going for a, perhaps bit standard, dwarf fighter. However I also like the idea of a dwarf rogue. What are you two thinking?
Nov 10, 2020 7:01 am
I was thinking of running a paladin, a cleric, or a druid.
If you were going for a fighter, perhaps I would go the druid route, thus getting a bit more caster-y, with a healing bent. However, if you went rogue, I probably would go paladin.
Let me know what your preference is, and yes, @Coach, please chime in with your thoughts.

[ +- ] Druid Feature: Wild Companion (2nd lvl)
You gain the ability to summon a spirit that assumes an animal form: as an action, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape feature to cast the find familiar spell, without material components.
When you cast the spell in this way, the familiar is a fey instead of a beast, and the familiar disappears after a number of hours equal to half your druid level.

I hope it's okay if I take some liberties with backstory. I was thinking that Ulfren would know at least one of you as a familiar acquaintance, since we're from the same timeline. Nothing too personal, but just some connection so we're not all strangers.
Ulfren's normal job was as a blacksmith in a frontier outpost within the kingdom of King Thorrel Axelforge, whose domain is (or was) where we are now. I assume King Axelforge is definitely a familiar name to all of you.

Perhaps you saw a druid woman from time-to-time on the frontier. She would have traded banter with you. She is very old, and kind of kooky.
Nov 20, 2020 8:50 pm
I only made a simple backstory: In the beginning of this campaign, Ulfren was part of an expedition tasked to journey to the island of Lord Victor Reinhel to help in the war against the orcs, so he doesn't know what happened to the dwarven kingdom after that. He left before the drow attack, but it is unclear how soon or how long after that was. He was frozen in Lord Reinhel's magic and does not know exactly how much time has passed (or if someone did tell him, he promptly forgot).
[ +- ] Simple backstory
Ulfren is gruff and simplistic, even for a dwarf. Barbaric and bear-like, he is loyal to his dwarven clan and his fellows, and considers it the highest honor to stand shoulder-to-shoulder against all threats. Very mistrustful of other races or tribes.
Worked as a blacksmith in the frontier tundra outpost of Sundershield, loyal to King Throrrel Axelforge. When the call to war comes, Ulfren answers.
Married to Namnena Boulderthane. Has a son named Huloth.

To clarify, we are in a dwarven kingdom, we don't know how long we have been statues, but long enough for several generations of dwarves to not have any identity. The drow have taken it over and presumably we were turned into statutes while fighting them?

Seems that way.
Though, we are in our own kingdom, if that makes any difference.

May I have a cat for a pet? Have a feeling it might not have come with me. LOL. Or survived where I'm at.
What Deities are you using? Specially the Dwaven ones.
May I use the Optional Fighting Style listed in Beyond for Fighter Class below"?
Optional: Fighting Style:
* Blind Fighting: You have blindsight with a range of 10 feet. Within that range, you can effectively see anything that isn’t behind total cover, even if you’re blinded or in darkness. Moreover, you can see an invisible creature within that range, unless the creature successfully hides from you.
* Interception: When a creature you can see hits a target, other than you, within 5 feet of you with an attack, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage the target takes by 1d10 + your proficiency bonus (to a minimum of 0 damage). You must be wielding a shield or a simple or martial weapon to use this reaction.

Don't really have a sub for characters. Captain Orsik Battlehamer is rather complete. Oscar is his pet cat.
Stats:
Race/Gender: Mountain Dwarf/Male
Age: 75 years old
Height: 4'8"
Weight: 211#
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Well Groomed Red
Skin: Light Brown
Languages: Common, Dwarvish
Rank: Captain
Description:Orsik is fair tall for dwarf at four feet eight inches and very husky. He has a long well cared for red beard lightly braided. He sports a lighter brown skin and brown eyes to match. You would say he is a middle aged dwarf by looks.
Appearance with Gear: Orsik favors good solid splint armor and shield. He sports a warhammer and has a military pick if that isn't good enough. He proudly bares captain bar. Toss on a backpack and a pouch and he is ready to travel.
Oscar

Rolling for Attributes thinking of playing a Rouge
We need to be dwarfs, or were there others fighting?
The Idea is that my character studied the methods of the drow before the battle hoping it would help him, he also wasn't supposed to be fighting in the battle but ignored his father's warnings and went to war anyway.
Does anyone want to be my father?
If you mentioned it previously sorry but what level are we?

*poisoner TCE
You can prepare and deliver deadly poisons, granting you the following benifits:
>When you make a damage roll that deals poison damage, it ignores resistance to poison damage
>You can apply poison to a weapon or piece of ammunition as a bonus action instead of as an action.
>You gain proficiency with the poisoner's kit if you don't already have it. With 1 hour of work using a poisoner's kit and 50gp worth of materials, you can create a number of doses equal to your proficiency bonus. Once applied to a weapon or piece of ammunition the poison retains potency for 1 minute or until you hit with the weapon or ammunition. When a creature takes damage from the coated weapon or ammunition, that creature must make a DC 14 Constitution saving Throw or take 2d8 poison damage and become poisoned until the end of your next turn

Knurd studied the methods the Drow used to fight for many years believing it would make him a better fighter but when the time for the battle his father who headed out to war (possibly dead possibly alive) forbade him from following telling him
to remain and guard the city as he had always done Knurd wanted the battle and rushed of to war anyway after the rest of the warriors there he fought with the rest of the Dwarfs Employing the techniques stolen from the drow.

Ulfren Blackthaw has a son, but not one that went off to study the elven ways of warfare. He'd have spent his time at the forge, helping Ulfren supply tools and weapons to the frontier dwarven towns.
That said, Ulfren could have known your father?

Rolling for stats... looks like 17, 15, 14, 14, 14, 10. Good start!
I was thinking something along the lines of a white-whiskered battle-priest - I scanned through the character creation thread and saw it mentioned that the dwarven gods might not be around any more, or might not answer. Is that going to affect divine magic generally? Would it be better for me to choose a different class?
I think as long as he could still cast spells, the idea of the gods being absent or silent is potentially quite interesting for a cleric. Perhaps he could draw his magic from within, or from the strength of the mountains, or something similar instead?

Probably not your father, that's a bit too close a relationship for me, I think... but how about your grandfather? That way we could still have a family connection.
Apr 27, 2021 1:12 pm
I suppose that is a possibility but then your son would have died in the battle.
Apr 27, 2021 2:13 pm
I think that could work - I see Arnvik as a good-hearted but very strict and traditionalist cleric. That could easily be a kind of defensive coping strategy that he fell into when trying to manage the grief of losing his son.
He wouldn't be a very loving or supportive grandfather, though. He's critical of everyone, most especially of himself. So don't get your hopes up for any joyful family reunions. ;)

Ah, very good. Well we can argue about you disobeying your father, and also your choice of "profession".
I had the family name "Greatforge" pencilled in, did Knurd already have a family name you were using? Happy to adjust.

While he was unnamed but lets Call him Gorik Greatforge,
He was a captain in the army and ordered me not to follow him to war telling me to stay and Protect the people of the city. I ignored him and so found my way into the battle.
Religion: Devotly followed Mordian
Relationships: Tried to befriend everyone in his unit but somewhat forgot about me with his constant training for battle. would he have forbade you from fighting in the battle?

Okay, Arnvik is submitted for approval. I haven't added a proper backstory yet, because I'm not sure exactly the circumstances under which he ended up frozen, or how he will be introduced to the ongoing campaign - Lunitar, happy to work with you on that so that he ends up wherever he needs to be.
He's a gruff, stern Forge Cleric and a firm believer in preserving the old ways. He was already 270 years old when he was frozen.
