D&D 5E [OOC] A Light Hearted Princes of Elemental Evil Hack and Slash

[Creamsteak]

Is Create Bonfire applicable to pick up for Spell Sniper? Thought it had to have an attack roll. Doesn't create bonfire have a save?

It is not.

Here is Aridha's proposed replacement:

That's fine. I think we can just follow the rules for creating a 5th level character in the DMG. I think they start with slightly more material wealth (500?) and they might start with 1 minor item. I'm not positive off the top of my head and am away from books.

I thought it was RAW, just like on page 125 of the phb that says that if you get proficiencies and tools from different sources you get to pick one of your choice. You're right that nothing is explicit about spells though (unless it is, and I simply haven't found it). I don't think there's anything game-breaking about this anyways, but thanks for pointing it out!
Cheers,

I'm fine with making this exception.

Another thing to keep in mind about the spell sniper feat which I find really strange is the fact that, RAW, it allows spell attacks to ignore half cover and three-quarters cover. However, unless I'm mistaken, prone targets will still be attacked with disadvantage. To me, this is really weird because being prone is in essence a form of cover, but the feat doesn't explicitly say it, and the prone condition mentions nothing of cover. So a prone enemy can be 10 ft in front of Thaliss and will be attacked with disadvantage, and an enemy with 3/4 cover behind a wall won't, unless [MENTION=552]Creamsteak[/MENTION] rules otherwise.

I think it's strange only in a verisimilitude sense. Mechanically, I don't find it too complex or anything.

Also, can we assume that we gave ourselves 1 nights of rest, and were ready to leave on the 2nd day. I don't mind if we need to stay longer, I just want to substract the appropriate living expenses.

So far I am assuming one long night's rest. The party still hasn't turned in the quest at the quest hub or anything. Or attempted to gather more information. I assumed we still had some things to play out in town.

Damien is kind of ambivalent about where to go to next. I guess the Spire? He'd want to further canvass out the totality of evil he will have to defeat in order to become the Evil Overlord of the Dessarin Valley.

On that note, just add 500 gold to your starting wealth as a 5th level character. That might put you slightly ahead? But I don't think it will impact things too much.

 

[Shayuri]

Understood. Thanks. I'll make the changes and get a post up.

Why stop at the Dessarin Valley?

FYI, Thaliss is open to going to the spire. So we agree on the 2 nights, and going to the spire?
[MENTION=8858]hafrogman[/MENTION], [MENTION=23484]Kobold Stew[/MENTION], what do you think?

Just trying to get the game back on track...

[Creamsteak]

At this point I guess I'm writing Tolan out? Perhaps leaving with Aridha?

 

[Shayuri]

Oof...I didn't know we were losing Tolan. Does that leave Dent as our only melee guy?

 

[Forged Fury]

I'm not sure what happened to hafrogman. He disappeared from my game as well.

 

[Kobold Stew]

I am still here, and happy to head to the spire.

 

[Forged Fury]

Damien is sort of a melee guy, depending on if we take a lot of short rests for him to recharge his spell slots.
