Super busy at work but looks like we got a good team going. I will figure out magic items tomorrow or Sunday. If we get everyone's characters done I am ready to start on Monday BUT if people are not done yet that's cool. No big rush. Just ready to get started
First thing will be to create a OCC threat were we can post all the characters also.
Sorry, got distracted this weekend. Will likely have a finished character up tomorrow.
Thats ok... I am just excited to get going but want people to have time to make their characters also.
Cathmore you still with us? Just wondering about your character also...

Still a work in progress, but getting closer. I can't decide on which way to go feat wise--dungeon delver, crossbow master or dual wielder. Any advice would be welcome. Still have to pick spells, and write up the background, personality and description, but I have it in mind, just got to get it down.

[sblock=Appearance]
Kelvyn is of mixed Oeridan and Flan heritage. He is handsome with light brown hair worn neatly and stylishly trimmed with and equally neat mustache and beard. His skin is tanned and clear. He dresses well and his gear is of quality. His horse in particular seems exceptionally fine though more suited to riding than war.

Given your build, I think I would go Crossbow Master. It would let you fire twice with the same hand crossbow, so you'd get to apply your DEX mod to damage for both attacks if they hit (unlike Dual wielding melee weapons). The second benefit also applies to ranged spell attacks, so if you have one of those, you can use it on someone within 5' with no penalty. Also, dual wielding will impact your spellcasting ability, requiring you to sheath one of your weapons to use somatic component spells. Not that big of a deal, but it could be annoying.
Dungeon Delver is pretty good in a specific situations.

Looks good... as for the feat... well, somewhat as Forge Fury suggested I would go with either Dungeon Delver or Crossbow Expert if you are also going for a Arcane Trickster. The reason I might mention Dungeon Delver is that while I am "updated" Scourge of the Slavelords, it is a very old school adventure. And in a lot of old school adventure there were a lot of traps just lying around. That feat might come in very handy once you reach the Slave Pits. But yea Crossbow Expert is pretty cool and rereading the description is does appear that the "being within 5ft of a hostile creature doesn't impose disadvantage on your ranged attack rolls" applies to all your range attack rolls, not just those with a crossbow
