D&D 5E [OOC] Creamsteak's Storm King's Thunder

[Briseis]

I'm interested. Looks like you're full? I didn't see this thread until today, and don't think I can get to drafting a character until Friday night because of work. You'll pipe up if there is room? I'll keep an eye on the thread for an update.

Looking Good, [MENTION=4936]Shayuri[/MENTION], although I did find out one thing: Your Initiative is actually higher, since Jack Of All Trades actually applies to Initiative.

Lucky you, yeah?

 

[Shayuri]

ah thanks! I wasn't aware of that!

So it looks like we've got six right now with stats. I'll take that and run with it. RG thread is up (link is in my signature to all my game threads at the moment).

Steve Gorak - Lord Davaros Silverfist - Human Paladin 5
Kobold Stew - - Gnome Ranger 5
GreenKarl - Uric Wargson - Human Fighter 5
Yavathol - Gul Torast - Human Warlock 2 Wizard 3
Jago - Koldan Randulfr - Human Ranger 5
Shayuri - Ilshana - Half Elf Bard 5

Note there are already six NPCs in the RG. That'll be significant in a bit. You can call dibs on one each, you'll be running them and your character in the initial encounter.

In addition to your character, each of you has received a special nonplayer character with ties to the location where the adventure begins. Take a moment to review your NPC's personality traits and statistics. One of your goals in this part of the adventure is to keep your special NPC alive. For each of these NPCs that survives, your party will receive a special quest that yields a reward upon its successful completion. The details of these special quests won't be revealed until the end of this part of the adventure.

Also, I'm going to try out a variant of the inspiration mechanic (going to be doing this in my real life game as well). I don't hand out inspiration (except the first time). The players choose who has it. Only one person will ever have it at a time. If, at any time, you (the person currently "holding" the inspiration) think someone else has done something worth of inspiration you can give it to them. You can only use your inspiration once per instance of you having it. My hope is this means that it gets handed out and passed around more in general without necessarily being a power thing.

I elect Kobold Stew's yet unnamed character as the one with inspiration to start as they have a great character portrait.

I second the motion!

 

[GreenKarl]

Me too...

 

[Steve Gorak]

Me too...

Character's up in the RG. I'm calling dibs on DARATHRA SHENDREL.
Cheers,

SG
