Old-school dungeon crawl using 5e playtest rules

[Li Shenron]

1. For stats, I used point-buy of 14-14-13-12-10-10, costing the new 27 points. That leaves his abilities the same, except INT becomes 10 instead of 11.

I think you can all keep the same stats as before, no need to recalc them, even if you used point-buy originally.

We haven't been told the XP and treasure from the room with the ghouls, so I skipped that.

I just fast-forwarded you all to 2nd level.

I have updated Aeiyan's entry to 2nd Level in the "Player Characters" thread in the "Dungeon Raiders" group.

Please check for accuracy as seems fitting.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Bartleby now updated to second level, here.

Sorry for the delay.

 

[tuxgeo]

He's still listed as "Level 1" in that post.

 

[Kobold Stew]

lol.

I'm supposed to be good a proofreading.

 

[Li Shenron]

Hey, what do you think about filling up the official 5e character sheet with your stats (there's a fillable version downloaded with the Basic rules), and attach them to our PC gallery (or this thread)?

It could be a chance to "playtest" the character sheet as well Or do you already know you don't like it? I can do that for you, if you prefer.

Updated Sulannus to 2nd level. Fixed her to meet Basic Rules standards except in the following areas:

1) The Noble background isn't in the Basic set, and none of the provided backgrounds really capture the flavor I'm going for. I'd like to keep using it as provided in the playtest rules, but if you prefer I can switch to Sage. Her retainers outside can either just be retconned quietly away, or become simple hirelings.

2) There's no Find Familiar spell given in the Basic Set, but since I've already established that Sulannus has a hawk familiar named Sunbolt, I'd like to retain it if possible. If not, let me know and I'll pick a different 1st level spell for her book, and Sunbolt will be demoted to 'pet hawk.'

With that in mind, here's the sheet for perusal and correction previous to posting in the RG.

I am certainly ok with these both!

Another thought: Earlier, Li Shenron had said there was another potential player who would like to join our group, and asked whether it would be alright for another PC to be in the party.

We now find that we're lacking a Rogue. Would it be too cheesy for us to conveniently "find" a rogue just when we need one? (Of course, that would make the party 6 PCs instead of 5. . . .)

 

[Kobold Stew]

I think if a new player wants in, that's fine, but I don't think we should insist on it being a rogue. (If I'm to give my secrets away, I think Bart isn't making it well as a druid, and I've been trying to play that; at level 3 (assuming multi class rules permit when the PHB comes out) I am expecting him to want to make the switch to rogue. That's likely happening whether the new player plays a rouge or not (though I guess it also depends on what the druid looks like in the pub!).)
