Fitz: Do you want Oh-Six updated? or will you do that? Or will he slip into the background now we are back at Daggerford? Also -- I think we're mostly ready for a new RG thread!

Lionel should take the potion of Diminution -- it's much more interesting for him to become Tiny than for Tommi to become Small.

A few things: 1. Paladin 5 and 6 are both excellent. 2. What subclass did you choose? Some (Vengeance, Glory) are less reliant on Charisma than others. 3. What feat did you select at Paladin 4? Is that how you got to STR 20? Perhaps you will be allowed by your DM to reconsider that choice...

It sounds like you want to stick with the 2014 build (a). Fair enough.

Hey! So looking at Escella, the key features I see are: attacks with a Blasting spell (currently Eldritch Blast) and rapier; Shadow theme/superdarkvision. That can be done most easily as you have it, with the Xanathar’s subclass (Rogue-1/Sorc-6). Rapier attack can then do 1d8+4+1d6 radiant+1d6...

I'm am happy to take an initial stab at it for you, if you like, thoguh I'm sure she'd work perfectly well as a 2014 character. I presume you would want to stay with your 2014 subclass, since at level 6 you get the hound of ill omen.

There has been a Dwarven Ranger (Angis and maybeanother?) in the beginning -- Fitz will remember if any of he/they are "available" to the story. There was also a human fighter (Titus) who could be reskinned. Originally the wolf-coat was his, I believe: Cloak of the Wolf: “While wearing this...

Tommi's basically set to go. Changes and issues remaining: 1. background is now Scribe (keeping his mom's books for her). That gives skilled, but lucky from Wayfarer could be made to work. 2. mag init spells need to change to wizard. For a first level spell, I'm currently thinking disguise...

Tommi is in, for sure. Updating him is straightforward, but I don't know if he'll still be a Scout (he may be a Thief now). He has Gutter, a +1 Vicious Shortsword, from General Shorgg (IC 1114) He is also carrying Potion of Greater Healing 2d4+4 (OOC 2368) Potion of Diminution (OOC 2368)...

Sounds awesome. When he is spurned, or (worse) led on while she conducts a physical relationship with a really annoying jerk at the local tavern, then he can opt for corporeality through Reincarnation, and become a centaur or lizard folk. Tale as old as time.

1. I would instead be looking at Gaseous Form as a model of how the character interacts wit the rest of the world. That form has strengths and liabilities, and would be a much more substantial (heh) RP challenge/opportunity for the player. 2. I would say the equipment is gone. That, too, is an...

I don't think we should be surprised at the conservatism. In the PHB 2024 UAs, the more creative ideas were consistently rejected time and again. Sometimes because they were weak, sometimes because they were under-explained, sure. But the community regularly said no to innovation. It becomes a...

The two on-turn attacks (red above) are with magic items, and not with a finesse weapons; so they don't get the benefit of SA, regardless of advantage/ally.

Agreed. Also, it doesn't play well with instrument proficiencies. (Is a singer really rolling lower than a violinist because they don't have an associated tool?) Again, for me bad design = bad skill. Low stakes just makes it worse. Agreed. This would have been my next choice. People want it...

While I've hit the top 3 (Animal Handling, Medicine, and Performance), I am surprised more have not chosen Perception. Is it useful in the game world? Sure, obviously, and made more so since many table seem not to play with disadvantage in low-light conditions (which include darkness for those...

Fine by me, and I'm in to the end, whenever that may be. I want to play and I'd like to get it going again, with everyone posting regularly. Happy to have a segue back to Daggerford or elsewhere. At the same time, if there isn't a critical mass of players wanting to continue, then I think it's...

yeah -- I get that. I think the availability of crafting things really is wildly variant. I don't see it as a trivial hurdle, and so I like it when I can make a character "self-sufficient" as it were.

I was wrong about this upthread -- you can only make the returning weapons at level 6. There's still really strong benefits from a 1- 2- or 3-level dip, but it doesn't open up the design space for concepts quite as much as I had initiialy thought.

Even the ability to use INT as an attack stat is now degraded due to the existence of True Strike. Like, it's still nice to have, but there are other ways to get the same effect now, which there weren't at the time of Tasha's.
