OOC Thread

Awesome man, glad you liked it. I really enjoyed back-and-forth, riffing off each others' ideas. I think we got to a place that is better than either of us would have done alone :)

Time will tell :)

True, but I wanted to make sure we had our stories straight and that the group Ryvid says he attacked is the group he and the others actually attacked. We can get into it in the game feed, but Kit's going to need some info to continue. Yes, but what's my motivation, my dear?
I disagree. True, there hasn't been a lot of dice rolling or game mechanics involved in playing Kit, but every bit of his abilities were being utilized all the way up to the fateful final battle. Throughout the entire journey, and the RP everyone engaged in, I was able to narrate an incredible amount of detail of Kit's actions, using all of the attributes I had given him. In my time playing RPGs, there hasn't been a lot of other opportunities to research 16th century one-act plays in order to decide how best to cast a dwarf or a kenku!
It looked like the Blight was tied in to your world at large, so I figured we'd get back around to it. It's funny, though, how Kit is tied into it. I wasn't planning on multiclassing so quickly, but when we discovered what was under the town, it just seemed like the perfect reasoning why a sorcerer who only used his magic for stagecraft and who literally ran screaming from combat would suddenly develop some fighting skills and more deadly spells.

What type of check would we have to make to pick a lock?

It's usually a Dexterity (Thieve's Tools) check

So I would be able to make the thieves tools with prestidigitation, I imagine?

That's a call that the DM would have to make. Personally, I would not allow it, as they're a bit more complicated that what I'd consider a 'trinket'.

Ah, I just looked them up. Thought I'd be just lockpicks, not a set.

Shoot! Am I the only one with lock pick proficiency or a set for that matter?

If I had the kit, I may be able to use it. I have a +5 to dex

Can trinkets made by prestidigitation be shared? Pageflap should be able to make just the lockpicks, I think.

Barendd had one, has there been any mention of the slayed heroes gear?

Hey all! Good questions.

Jacketch: Yes, I'd say you could make a simple lock pick tool with prestidigitation, but only ones that would work for simple locks, say DC 10 and lower. Without the thieves' tools proficiency, you would make the lock picking check as a regular skill check but only adding your Dex modifier and no proficiency bonus. I think you can share it, but it only lasts 12 seconds or so. You can just keep casting it of course.

(Heh, jokes on you - all the locks are DC 11! Just kidding!)

Starrbeardo: Other than Kit and Torden's gear there was no mention yet, but I suspect there might be soon.

I would expect this to be Athletics. It would be better for whoever has the higher modifier to roll it. Torden's Athletics is at +3.

Athletics I have plus 5, straight up strength I have plus 3

A fastball special, eh? I'll spare us the math and go with rules as fun. On top of Sulprax's +5 athletics, Torden could cast Guidance for +1d4. Ander could aid for advantage, shifting his weight and using his nimble fingers to grab on to the parapet to improve odds for success.

I'll set the DC at 20, so you'd have to roll between 11 to 14 for success, depending on the Guidance result. With advantage, that's a bit better than 50% odds. Fall damage is only 3d6, what could go wrong?

Could Torden be underneath and use Gust of Wind to help propel Ander higher? I don't know if that's even a good idea (Higher chance to overshoot my goal), but I'm curious what you think about it

Was actually thinking this! Gust of Wind! Perfect, because Torden ate beans today!

Gust of Wind works, but then it's up to Ander to stick the landing, probably acrobatics DC 20. If things go wrong that would be 3d6 fall damage, and if things go really wrong that'd be 6d6 fall damage (60 feet). Actually, with a +7 I don't think things could go that badly.

Another factor: because Gust of Wind and Guidance are both concentration, Torden couldn't provide both. You could consider Torden as giving advantage through the help action by 'turning off' the spell at the right moment. In the end the odds of both plans are comparable so take your pick :)

Ate beans today? Probably ate beans for 2 weeks straight in jail :) Helluva Gust of Wind you'd have charged up there.
