(OOC) Fitz's Folly (ToA PBP)

[FitzTheRuke]

(case in point... I forgot about Miss Imogen's illness)

Right. Dellrak should have disadvantage as well.

... But you are also right that you had help. Qawasha is very polite and diplomatic, if not exactly charismatic. I can't imagine how anyone can help with insight, at least not in a situation where you can't openly discuss what you're thinking, but translation has to be the very definition of helping with diplomacy.

 

[Ancalagon]

Well Rodrigo can't help with his roll ha!

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Yes... the Sticks are not up to a great start.

Let's see how the NPCs do...

Qawasha is helping
Weed is hiding [roll0] plants give him advantage: [roll1] so whichever is higher.
Tarri is trying to figure them out [roll=Insight]1d20+2[roll]
and Kasqa is trying to look formidable without provoking them: [roll2]

 

[FitzTheRuke]

... I always screw something up. [roll0]

 

[Fradak]

Kasqa is trying to look formidable without provoking them: Intimidate - (1d20+1)[3]

Impressive

It could help anyway. They really will not see us as a threat.

 

[KahlessNestor]

Insight Disadvantage: 1D20+2 = [16]+2 = 18

So his original 16 was still valid.

 

[Ancalagon]

Ah, level 4, a hard choice for Rodrigo...

I could take +2 dex, which is the obvious choice - it improves his offence *and* defense, along with a number of skills. Buuuut if would be nice if a party member had the healer feat so... although we've been doing ok for healing so far... hmmm?

 

[gargoyleking]

Harb is proficient with Medicine, not a Healer's Kit. Or he'd take it. As-is, I'm thinking +2 Dex would be good for him.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Level up!

I think Fitz might already been expecting this, but anyways:

[MENTION=59816]FitzTheRuke[/MENTION] I want some long-lasting repercussions from the encounter with Cimber. I had originally had other plans for Imogen, and this will delay getting a second attack, I know, but:

if I took a level of Sorcerer (White Dragon), could I theme the Draconic Resilience (13+dex AC) to be a rime of frost on her offering protection instead of dragon scales?

For spells, I was thinking only things with no material components (ruling out Light, which would be useful), but:
Cantrips: Frostbite, Mold Earth*, Mage Hand*, and Prestidigitation
Spells: Shield* and Expeditious Retreat*.

All of the spells would function normally, but the ones with an * would similarly be cold-themed: instead of a force hand, it would be an ice-pick, instead of just moving fast, there'd be ice on her feat (or an ice path, like Icemna in the original X-men).

There'd be no mechanical implications to this (the draconic language etc would be there, but would likely not come up anyway) and it's not as useful as a +2 dex or something more on point, but it does mean she'd become an unarmoured fighter (which is fun) and it would have some story impact on the choice she made in August.

If you are okay with the re-flavouring, then that's what I'll do.

 

[Ancalagon]

I think that would be pretty cool! And it delays your attack and ASI bonus by a level, so it's balanced too. You also want to take spells that "age" well as you level up, and they seem to fit the bill (unlike say, sleep which is great at low level and pretty weak at higher ones)
