Factions

The Harpers
A scattered network of spellcasters and spies, the Harpers advocate equality and covertly oppose the abuse of power, magical or otherwise. Agents operate in secret and emphasize stealth and subtlety,or at the very least discretion. Bards and wizards are their most prominent member

The Order of the Gauntlet
This faction is primarily a military organization made up of paladins, clerics,and monks. Members of the order are faithful and vigilant seekers of justice who protect others from the depredations of evildoers. They exact swift retribution against those who violate the law

The Emerald Enclave
This widespread group of wilderness survivalists preserves the natural order while rooting out unnatural threats. Many of the Enclave’s members are barbarians, druids, and rangers. Some wander the untamed lands while others make their homes on the outskirts of towns and villages, where they help to protect travelers from the dangers of the wild.

The Lords’ Alliance
The Lords’ Alliance is a shaky compact of aggressive political powers concerned with mutual security and prosperity. Fighters and sorcerers are prevalent among alliance agents, and they are often glory hounds seeking personal recognition. Most agents are lawful or neutral; in the courtly circles of the lords, those who don’t follow the rules seldom last long.

The Zhentarim
This shadow network seeks to expand its influence and power base throughout Faerun. Its members coerce, persuade, or buy their way into every major area of influence. Rogues and warlocks fill the Zhentarim’s ranks, but the faction recruits any who can conduct its business without too many moral reservations.

Other
There also are a few minor factions, but none scream human bard (an elven group, a thieves guild, a paladin order, and barbarians).

Alright, so how are you all feeling about your characters? Are you ready to get this party started? Second thoughts about your choices?

I'm planning on starting this up either tomorrow evening or Saturday morning. Breakfast at Kaylessa's.

I'm good with Walter Flagg. Mmmmm, I can smell the bacon already! 😀
Feb 2, 2018 3:28 am
I’m happy and ready to go.
Feb 2, 2018 3:35 am
I’m ready.

I'm all set! I'm guessing the Zhentarim are the most likely of the bunch to employ Dazzle, so let's go with that.

Just to make sure Ive figured this all out, let me know if I made any errors:

Bigdogg1990: Alyx von Trapp, Human Wizard, Zhentarim

Moofsalot: Xella, Forest Gnome Paladin of Lliira, Order of the Guantlet

Naturax: Dazzle, Human Bard, Zhentarim

Sclasclemski: Sorgrimm Goblinbane, Hill Dwarf Cleric of Helm (Life), Order of the Gauntlet

Chief12justice: Balak, Mouhtain Dwarf Barbarian, Zhentarim

Skeeze: Walter Flagg, Human Rogue, Harper

That is correct! I changed my character concept a bit from what I was going to do originally but it should still work.

Let's throw down some rolls, see how we do.

16, 14, 12, 12, 11, 9.

Not the powerhouse of some of the REST of you, but far from a bad stat set.

4d6 - ( 4, 2, 3, 1 ) = 10-1=9

4d6 - ( 4, 2, 2, 6 ) = 14-2=12

4d6 - ( 1, 2, 1, 3 ) = 7-1=6

4d6 - ( 4, 2, 5, 3 ) = 14-2=12

4d6 - ( 3, 4, 2, 4 ) = 13-2=11

4d6 - ( 4, 5, 5, 6 ) = 20-4=16

4d6 - ( 5, 1, 5, 4 ) = 15-1=14

Rolls

Stats - (4d6, 4d6, 4d6, 4d6, 4d6, 4d6, 4d6)

4d6 : (4231) = 10

4d6 : (4226) = 14

4d6 : (1213) = 7

4d6 : (4253) = 14

4d6 : (3424) = 13

4d6 : (4556) = 20

4d6 : (5154) = 15

Mar 15, 2018 9:36 pm
Haha, that 16 is a trap! Though it is better than the static array.
Mar 15, 2018 9:48 pm
So I'm thinking it could be a lot of fun to go with a Tiefling or a Half-Elf Old One Warlock aligned with the Zhentarim.

What can I say? Dazzle truly is a paragon of human achievement.
Mar 15, 2018 10:26 pm
Utterly dazzling. :P
Mar 15, 2018 10:28 pm
Just you wait. ;)
Mar 15, 2018 11:11 pm
Those options sound good to me, Dramasailor. Going with Zhent gives you an in to the party, as there are a Zhent or two lurking.

Dramasailor sent a note to Qralloq

I approved your character, Dramasailor, even though there are some serious errors. Okay, two tiny things. Your temp hps should be 9 instead of 0, and I couldn't see your Criminal specialty.

There are also some starting adventure hooks, and you should pick one.

As said earlier, we will pull you in to the group once they're back in town. The Swinging Sword Inn is the place to be, hint hint.
Mar 16, 2018 1:17 am
Ah, I can use temp HP for current if you'd like. I normally reserve it for actual temp HP from sources (spells and such).

And I forgot to put her specialty in, like a nublet. I'll add that right now.

I picked a hook in the other thread. :) She will be fondly enjoying a sweet wine in the Inn when everyone comes around.
