5e Tomb of Annihilation - OCC

[Steve Gorak]

@Steve Gorak So my character was going to be an outlander as well. Wanted to see if you wanted to have a character connection? Perhaps we are from the same group. My ranger could have been sent to watch after your Druid or something like that?

Hey @VLAD the Destroyer , I was thinking, perhaps I can let you be the outlander, and can go for something like Noble. There could be an interesting tie in there (for ex: your ranger could be from the same religion/kingdom, and was tasked to protect mine). What race were you thinking of?

Alternatively, our two characters can be outlanders without any issue, just a bit of overlap, which could be good for the help action (can you imagine, finding tracks with help + guidance ;-)
Let me know what you think.
Cheers,

SG

I am fine with whatever, you can change if it fits your backstory. I am also fine with both being outlanders. I was going to be variant human.

I was posting up the RG and thought about putting it in there for easy finding. Seems just 5 character posts is a waste of a thread. But thank you for the suggestions.

I have felt the same way regarding RG threads. I've been putting NPC info there, and I wish I'd thought to put more setting stuff as well. I suggest you go for that. Either way, the RG thread won't get too busy to find stuff, which is good. Give it a shot.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

I'm currently at 60% confidence.

Option A: A one-horned teifling Paladin of Lathander . Nicknamed "Rhino". Abandoned by his parents at birth he grew up in an orphanage where he studied anthropology and travels in hopes of finding a place where he could truly fit in.

Option B: A high elf Rogue and self proclaimed Treasure hunter. An anthropologist who doesn't care much for people, wields a machete (Scimitar) or a whip and acts like a less scrupulous Indiana Jones.

I'm leaning more A than B right now but I kind of want to see how the rest of the party shapes up.

You could dedicate the entire first post of the IC thread to it. Or post it in the OOC thread, depending on when you want us to have the information.

I love that Rhino idea!

 

[Leatherhead]

Alright then.

Kargadan "The Rhino"

I went with 31 PB to make him appropriately beefy.

@FrontLine MeatShield Just wanted to check, if I picked standard array do I get to pick any common or uncommon magic item or is it only from the minor items list in XGtE?

 

[FrontLine MeatShield]

No, no Let's just say that the list in XGtE is already approved, but if you have something from another source or what not let me know what your thinking and we can discuss it.

 

[Neurotic]

Extra points or Pact of the rod keeper...decisions decisions... Everything's done except this minor part...
