[5E] [OOC] JM's A Bit of Trouble (Closed)

[doghead]

Are there special rules or lore regarding arcana I should be aware of before I start crunching stats and backgrounds?

I'm not sure about specific rules/lore regarding arcana.

There is some character generation information at the start of the RG thread here: 5E [5E] [RG] JM's A Bit of Trouble

There is some setting information at the start of this OOC thread and the IC thread here: [IC] JM's A Bit of Trouble

While Surina would have been very tempted to join the army Everett’s father assemble to deal with Ariamhody (sp?), I can also see her staying in Bit and working to provide food, shelter, etc. For the refugees. She’s one to stand up for the common person, and is probably concerned about how the refugees are being treated.

There's no changes to how magic works in this game. The only difference is the flavoring of religion as a single church for the worship of all the gods together. That doesn't affect the arcanist classes at all.

I've posted the main stats of Klebba Martindale, stout war cleric. I'll get the rest done soon-ish.

Okay, I think I will play a human bean from Racism City, a scholarly lady who went on a trip to Cade-Crable as part of a conference on a scholarly subject and wound up going "oh, I'm gay" upon seeing her first mermaid who was also in attendance. A big argument with her family over it left her stranded in Cade-Crable, and her relationship with said mermaid led her to discover she had a talent for magic.

She could wind up part of the group via many means; I'll chat with the GM and see if they've got ideas.

Will have BG and stats soon!

I like it! Nice picture, too.

"You've got a mermaid?! Can I have one too?" is probably what Pelegon would say when he finds out.

Seriously, I like your characters so no doubt I'll like this one too!

I updated Brother Pelegon to level 4.

During downtime he probably retrieved what little possessions he had (represented by the starting gear I already had in the RG), befriended the girl he saved, made a friend or two in the friendly lizardfolk camp and the gathering army, learned how to make that lizardfolk brew (if that's not a wellkept tribal secret), and probably negotiated his role in all this with his angelic guide.

So Pelegon is ready to move forward, still appearing drunk and useless but now known as the rescuer of a young girl. And if any new players seek a connection, they could've met before Brother Pelegon's hermitage, back when he lived at a monastery.

If you are looking for a way to connect with the party, Surina (who is a devotion paladin) might be a good choice: you could have trained together in Crade-Cable, or had contact at the temple in Bit.

If that’s the case, Surina will be glad to have you along; she still misses Keth, with whom she had the most in common in the party. She’s a bit rigid in her thinking—a little too focused on the rules and decorum—and she is often discomfited by the ways in which some of the party doesn’t fit her conception of what it means to be responsible and upstanding. Note: that’s purely about her personality; that is not in any way a complaint about the other players or how they have played their characters. The discomfort is good, as she needs to have her assumptions challenged so she can loosen up and grow. Personality role-playing is (one of?) my weaknesses as a player (and, in other contexts as a DM), and I’m trying to work on that with Surina. Truth be told some days I don’t have the energy to do so and just focus on the mechanics, but it is my intent to strive in that direction.

@ArwensDaughter - Added some background that includes Surina. It look okay?

Yep, looks good.
