Satisfied he'd helped all he could with the door Ghorrak bounded after Myrral and the broodguard, intent on following the skeleton. He paused for a moment when the zombies appeared in the wall. There was a time this might have surprised me... With a sigh he attempted to discern the purpose of...

Considering the TG seems to be momentarily contained, and I'm not sure what the plan would be if it did burst through while we're all at the door, I think we should deal with the skeleton first. Ghorrak just can't do anything besides chase it.

The inner workings of latches and doors was slightly outside of Ghorrak's skill set, so he simply braced himself against the door. He could at least keep it closed if the tomb guardian tried to get out before someone else came up with a plan.

Command and Suggestion are two of the spells that lead to the arguments coming up most often, because some groups think the verbal component is only the command or suggestion while others rule they're in addition to the "chanting of mystic words". Counterspell is more useful inn a group that...

I don't really like either of those but I see both come up on Reddit pretty frequently.

Especially considering how many groups let casters use magic sneakily, or just make the casting a lot less obvious than the default assumptions are. Letting it be counterspell proof is really all it has going in a lot of groups.

I can't really read his ability in a way that would let Subtle Spell prevent it, so I'd probably rule he could Dread Counterspell it.

That makes sense, one of the two pbp games I've been in before died when a player took two weeks to post in combat so just ignoring seems like a better option. I don't think any of Ghorrak's reactions should be too troublesome, the Interception fighting style reduces damage someone else takes...

Between the Cavalier's abilities and the interception fighting style he's got plenty of options on that front, although I'm a little uncertain how using reactions work in a pbp game. I'm a little foggy on how initiative works in general actually. Here's Ghorrak take two

That does feel way too harsh to me, it's not even the amount of time the characters would have to do things

After catching up with the plot (which I probably should have done before building Ghorrak) I think I'll go with a fighter instead, to match up with him a little more seamlessly. What kind of armor is he wearing?

This one would be tough for me to keep a straight face for, cooter was my mom's family's euphemism of choice for a certain part of anatomy

I think I can combine those two ideas, he sees the spirits all the time but until he uses his class abilities they're not visible for anyone else. The party being kind to him, and maybe the poison, can push him to use them. Here's what I've got so far. I made his background by slapping 2...

I was thinking about an Ancestral Guardian Barbarian, possibly with the ancestor spirits refluffed to be other...let's call them "unwilling servants" who have died in service of Thay. I'm not positive how or why he'd have not used any of those abilities yet but I like the idea of him being...

Well, luckily Ghorrak was one of the two I was considering so I might not need worry about that :LOL:

I'm interested, but I have very little experience with PBP games if that matters to you.

I'm not Walter Strunk Jr. or E. B. White so I'm not going to declare myself Supreme Arbiter of Correct English, but it seems to me there's a bit of a difference between "you see a creature...casting a spell" and "a creature he can see that is casting a spell"

Running up to use a cantrip doesn't seem like very intelligent fighting unless the player is familiar with Vecna's mechanics, and "looking at the statblock" isn't a tactic any group I've ever played in would want to encourage.
