Character Creation

Not sure if this works for you but there is a box on page 18 of the PDF that gives and Adventurer's Pack. Similar to the explorer's pack.

Adventuring Pack (10 gp). Includes a backpack, a compass, a flashlight, 5 light sticks, a lighter, a plastic bottle, 10 days of rations and a sleeping bag. This pack also has 50 feet of hempen rope strapped to the side of it.

Do people still use hempen rope though? Like...shouldn't it be nylon or something now a days?

"Well, name one thing you're going to need the stupid ****ing rope for." - Connor Murphy, Boondock Saints

I missed that! Thanks for pointing it out.

Not only a good point about hemp --> nylon, but huge bonus points for the great quotation!

It is a great movie. Can't watch it around my kids though, so it has been a while, but I think about the rope bit every time I buy equipment for a character.

Alright Jabes I'll send you some info soon.

Looks like things are coming together nicely, the campaign will probably start in a few days. I'll have a bit more heads up and double check with y'all before the first 'episode'.

@cosmickeyring Wanted to check if things are going fine on your end.

I'm nearly done, just need to do my stats.

The Saints are basically a couple of weird paladins anyway. Carrying random gear is only natural.


EDIT: So starting scores are 16, 14, 11, 9, 10, 16. Not bad.

Okay, I do have some questions left.

1. As an Envoy Warforged, I get an integrated tool as a racial feature, could I pick hacking tools for that?

2. I'm still picking languages, what does everyone else have?

3. Can I use a tablet as a replacement for my spellbook?

I have most of my spells, I just need to pick a combat cantrip.

@cosmicKeyring -

2) Languages - I have common, Quori(racial) and Draconic (because wizards)

3) Are you using the Arcane Tradition of School of Technomancy for your wizard? Because if so, it gives you an E-book as your spellbook under Technomancy Savant. That is the same thing right? For me, I am sticking with an actual spellbook for flavor reasons. We may be in modern times, but Naji is learning ancient traditions.

1) Sure, I believe Jabes did the same.

2) Infernal, Draconic, and Quori so far. Hey Jabes and campeador could you two update your languages given the chance?

3) As opposed to the E-book thingy you get? Tha'ts fine as long as you pay for it and follow all the normal rules and whatnot.

I went ahead and put Quori in my last remaining language slot. Can I change my gaming set Prof (from Spy background) to Engineering Kit instead? I might integrate that you instead of the Hacking Kit (kinda fits my PC better)

The gaming proficiency was going to be VITAL to a scenario I had planned near the beginning. But in this case ok.

Are you serious? In years of playing D&D 5E I have not once seen gaming set proficiency come into play so I'm almost tempted to not touch it just to see it used even just this one instance!

Realistically you probably shouldn't, the only feasible way gaming proficiency would be superior over tools is if the whole campaign was in some casino or game store.

Now I have a goal...derail the story so we spend all our time playing poker in the back room of a comic book store!

jk :D

OK everyone, the game will officially start Friday. Make sure everything is finalized regarding character sheets (spell list, items, etc.). If you have any concerns please let me know.

Is anyone going to have Find Vehicle from the Modern Magic UA? It's useful, but I don't think more than one person in a group really needs it.

Also if it's cool with you DM, I'm reflavoring my components to be more tech-themed due to how my "magic" works.

I asked this but didn't get a reply. I agree 100%. I didn't take it because I only have two spell slots and didn't want to carry that spell if someone else is going to have it.

That said, I love the spell and am happy to swap something out for it if no one else wants to carry it.

I'm a wizard, my whole deal is having a lot of spells. On my list now.

@Tsavo I probably forgot, sorry about that. Don't be afraid to pm if I miss something in the future.

@cosmickeyring As long as you follow the mechanical rules of the spell (components, duration, damage types, all that) flavor it up.
