Tommi is leveled. Yay uncanny dodge.

Magic gifts: Gutter (+1 short sword w/ bonus damage on crit); boon-of-the-Elk (pass w/o trace, +2 when dealing w/ Fey). My character sheet says he also has boots of striding and sprinigng, but I must admit I'd forgotten that (and maybe they were given to a dwarf?). Otherwise, Tommi will be jumping things more often.

Also: Tommi has "a contact in every city" as his (hitherto unused) background feature. Don't suppose there's a contact in the occupying army we're about to attack? (no, he does not have proficiency in fishing).

Also also: Tasha's has the steady aim feature, which allows bonus action to give advantage if there is no movement during the turn (speed becomes zero, so that means there's no reaction movement either).

Only problem with Uncanny Dodge is that I'll probably forget it again and again. (Though I play rogues, so I shouldn't.)

I'm pretty sure Angis has the boots. I don't think I gave out two.

I'm okay with Tommi using Steady Aim when it comes up as worthwhile.

I'll try to remember.

That sounds right.

Cool, thanks.

Okay, @FitzTheRuke I'm not sure if this is still an option or not for Dandin. It was another of the alternate abilities I had found while delving through things to make Dandin seem more 'fake druid' and less 'fake ranger'.

Primal Awareness: (Replaces Primeval Awareness)
You can focus your awareness through the interconnections of nature: you learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class if you don't already know them, as shown in the Primal Awareness Spells table. These spells don't count against the number of ranger spells you know.
Primal Awareness Spells (Ranger Level: Spells gained)
3rd: Goodapple(Sub via Fitz approval), speak with animals
5th: beast sense, locate animals or plants
9th: speak with plants
13th: locate creature
17th: commune with nature
You can cast each of these spells once without expending a spell slot. Once you cast a spell in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Also, wouldn't Ol'Sooty get his con bonus to HP?

You mean from Tasha's? Yeah, you can use any of the options from Tasha's. I was gonna post those too, but I wanted to see what you thought of the other stuff first.

You'd think so, wouldn't you? I thought so, but I couldn't find it anywhere in Tasha's under that new beast companion. Maybe they thought it was so obvious that they didn't need to mention it? Actually, there's evidence to support that the answer is "no". There's three stat blocks. Two of them have +2 Con and HP is listed as "5+5 times your ranger level" and then the third option one has a +1 Con, and it says HP is "4 + 4 times your ranger level". So it looks like it's actually (3+con)+(3+con) x your ranger level. So Ol'Sooty winds up with 20 HP.

Weird, well at least he has better AC than Dandin does, if it's only 2 points better. One thing popped up but otherwise I think I'm finished leveling him up. Will I be able to use Siren's Song as a +1 focus for his Ranger spells? Or will he need a separate Druidic focus?

LOL Kind of lamenting the utter lack of Bard direct attack spells. +8 to hit and nothing to shoot with it. Nice save DC's though I guess.

Dandin Applesbane

Sooo... Yeah I've started coming up with cool icons for all of my characters. Here's the new and improved Dandin.

How'd he get up to +8? 16 Cha (+3) + Prof (+3) + Siren's Song (+1) is +7, or a 15 dc. What am I missing?

Sure, your ranger spells can use Siren's Song. I honestly think that magical foci should be more individual (the thing the character is most comfortable with, with an appropriate story) rather than class-based. Dandin is used to channelling his magic through the shawm, so I think that's fine. (Making your Ranger Spells only 1 point worse than your bard, right? So +6/dc14?

It's only a little weird story-wise that Dandin has "forgotten" his 2nd level spells, but I think we can just imagine that he still knows them, he's just busy concentrating on learning how to do some new stuff (not the least of which is keeping a rather traumatized bear calm) that's taking up most of his energy. He just can't quite get his most powerful magic to work right now while working on other things.

Comment on the Icon: I like it. I don't think I can use it, though. The icons get shrunk so small on my maps that you wouldn't be able to see much of it. I've learned recently to erase most details on my icons for clarity.

gargoyleking · Dec 23, 2020

Ok, I can make a simpler one too.
Edit: Also, I may have added my +1 twice. Happens when you should already be in bed but just have to do the thing or not be able to sleep at all.
