OOC Discussion

Loot & Sleep (oratleastashortrest)!

Also, how do we do HP again, it's been awhile.

Do you mean hp gains at level up? You can either roll or take the average. Your choice.

How is everyone's level up coming along? :-)

At this point I think it might be a good idea to reread some posts to get a bit of a review, and might inform choices moving forward.

• Urban's visions in the void here and here, and a short exposition here.
• OOC posts following this one.
• Recap here, and the posts from each one that followed.

I'm pretty sure I'm done with leveling; went mastermind and took the average.

I'll input my thoughts were/when I can but leave the planning for those that were present leading up to this point. I'll try to read through the linked posts after work but I still have 4 hours left and still need to finish my character for McNeils game so the others will probably beat me to it and come up with something solid by then.

Will reiterate that the puzzle is there for those who feel like they will enjoy that sort of thing, but definitely not necessary to play this game. There is lots more to explore, not just in Pradesh, but in the world at large!

In Pradesh alone, in addition to the relationship you have established with the Aunties, Skandrana Varhu temple, and Captain Valrakas, there's plenty to do, including but not limited to:
• Rumors overheard by Urban after the tavern brawl.
• The Tumescent Faun
• The lost keys to the Serpent Doors, Vashankala's Tomb.
• The Thousand Swords.

Outside Pradesh:
• Clearing your names in Cysegr.

In part, the visions in the void were a glimpse of different cultures to gauge which ones tickle your fancy, so even telling me that will help shape this story.

Baracus 5.0 is ready for battle.

I just have to pick spells... always the hardest thing :(

Anyone have suggestions?

And I think we should do a long rest for sure

My basis for any spellcaster is the trifecta of Shield, Counterspell, and Dispel Magic, if they're available.

For now I've picked slow and counterspell. I already have shield for a level 1 spell

If he survives to gain another spell, I'll likely add Dispel Magic to complete Ybus' trifecta. Warlocks only get limited spells and spell slots, but I'd rather have these anti-spellcaster/defensive spells in my pocket than not.

Forgot to add, Ybus is done. Took the average HP increase, and selected the Aspect of the Moon invocation so Ybus no longer needs sleep and can't be forced to sleep. Picked up Counterspell, and while I might regret it later, I switched out Hold Person for Flaming Sphere.

I'm done now as well. The best part of this level is really getting the boost to my cantrips!

Baracus gained:

- 13hp which is Barbarian average (7) + con mod (4) + tough feat (2)
- Reckless Attack so I can roll six d20s when I flurry of blows.
- Danger Sense so I can roll dex saves at advantage when I can see what's coming.
- Prof. Bonus went up to 3

Really driving for the Barbarian's Ancestral Guardian totem at Barbarian 3, which I think would be perfect for Baracus. It sadly delays his extra attack and ASI a lot, but he is pretty stacked as it is.

DM, I need to ask for a little more time. Sorry I'm behind - just starting to work on the Level advance this evening. I should be finished tonight.

Okay, now I'm for real ready. Took 2nd level in cleric, totaling out to rogue3/cleric2, detect magic for spell. Took the average again.

No rush, guys! Take your time. I'll be here all week! :-D

Paladin 5 Urban is complete.
Straight path - single Class. Old School.

Extra Attack, y'all!
Yes Yes, y'all!

Proficiency shift helps on Magic (Spell DC) and Combat (Attacks, Shove/Grapple/Athletics on Double Proficiency from Brawny).

More spells. 2nd Level Slots - though Urban is not that clear on spells (because Urban is confused about his abilities but also because J is a bad spell caster manager. Ha!). So that's more like extra Smites. Bang.

Hit points - standard boost.
