    D&D 5E (2014) The New World [Volo Monsters]

    Here's what my book says: Tool Proficiencies: One type of gaming set, thieves' tools Equipment: A crowbar, a set of dark common clothes including a hood, and a pouch containing 15 gp Contrast with Folk Hero: Tool Proficiencies: One type of artisan's tools, vehicles (land) Equipment: A set of...

    D&D 5E (2014) The New World [Volo Monsters]

    All right, finished my final review for everyone. These are not showstopper issues, but here are the things I found: Saashala: you don't start with the Thieves' Tools. You are proficient in them, but they're not in your background equipment list. I don't know why some backgrounds (folk hero)...

    So I'm involved in an annual RPG convention in NJ... and it happens we have some artwork from a year we did a "MonsterCon." For your enjoyment:

    All right. If Shayuri gets the last few kinks worked out today (disguise kit and personality options I think), I'll start the IC thread tomorrow. Otherwise, probably Saturday.

    Looks good. You can take two personality traits -- perhaps the other could be something like "Despite everything I've been through, my tribe is still important to me." (I notice that after getting captured and escaping, he went back to his tribe, outcast or no -- though if there's another...

    OK, I've looked everything over and here's where I think we stand: Moon Moon -- ready Drutha Keldret -- ready Nert Muckshredder -- ready Ripnek Ratkiller -- needs personality selections Saashala -- It seems like you've picked a Disguise Kit but the gaming set for Spy needs to be an actual...

    D&D 5E (2014) The New World [Volo Monsters]

    OK, so I have two PCs to review and a third once the bugbear writeup comes through. But if all goes well we're basically full.

    Good to see it! I'm getting a little bleary-eyed tonight, so I'll give this a closer read tomorrow.

    EN World New GMs, players, read the first post in this thread! (updated 5/21)

    Just wanted to note that I'm recruiting for a 5e game using Monstrous PCs from Volo's Guide to Monsters. If you feel the pull of the Dark Side, see: The New World [VOLO MONSTERS; RECRUITING]

    D&D 5E (2014) The New World [Volo Monsters]

    OK, I've updated the first post with everyone's PC status as I understand it. We have two PCs pretty much done and a third quite close. If I can finalize a PC sheet with JustinCase or we can get tglassy to post specifics and work through those, then I'm content to start with the group of 4...

    D&D 5E (2014) The New World [Volo Monsters]

    Yeah, it's kind of weird they don't offer a Small-creature option out of the box for the Ranger longbow -- the rest have alternative options built in. Anyway, a shortbow makes total sense. I'm not sure you'd get much practical use out of any set of artisan's tools or musical instrument (the...

    D&D 5E (2014) The New World [Volo Monsters]

    OK, I have the following notes on the sheet: Need to pick your simple weapon (Warlock) Need to pick component pouch or arcane focus (Warlock) Need to pick scholar's pack or dungeoneer's pack (Warlock) For the Spy, I suggest replacing the crowbar with "credentials" -- in this case some false...

    D&D 5E (2014) The New World [Volo Monsters]

    No, I think it's OK as you originally proposed. I can buy that Saashala creates these theories without much in the way of justification or a convincing explanation for others. That basically they're just rationalizations, not sound conclusions. An Int of 10 is enough to SOUND smart, until a...

    OK. Here's my copy of the PC sheet as it stands (I had to put in placeholders for the extra skill and favored terrain but you can still change those): http://opentools.org/the-new-world/nert-muckshredder.pdf For purposes of selecting your favored terrain: Many of the monsters live in or near...
