D&D 5E (2014) [D&D 5E] Ruins of Adventure (OOC)

[KirayaTiDrekan]

Half-elf rogue (arcane trickster) is where I'm leaning at the moment. Lots of Charisma, in it for the gold, but does the right thing when push comes to shove.

 

[Skarsgard]

Half-Orc Paladin for me.

 

[Skarsgard]

Helios Maskell is in the Rogues Gallery, I just need to work out his equipment but I think I will be taking the standard gear and not rolling for money.

edit: can't help myself, rolled for it. 120gp

Are you still accepting players? I would love to join if there is room.

I added my dragonborn sorcerer to the rogue's gallery - at least, the crunch parts. I'm still thinking about a name and a few things about background and personality.

For the observant reader: Yes, my dragonborn has two draconic bloodlines; one defining his race (and therefore breath weapon and energy resistance) and one the origin of his sorcerous powers. The first one is White and the second one is Red. Makes for an interesting mix, I'd say!

To our DM [MENTION=72670]Raunalyn[/MENTION]: What would be an appropriate Discovery (Hermit background feature) in this case? My idea for background can be summarized as: Unknown clan of whiteblooded dragonborn with an erratic red bloodline produces a sorcerer every few generations. Egg of my character somehow finds its way to a shady merchant (stolen? kidnapped? only survivor of a massacre? either way unknown to my char) who thinks there is nothing inside anymore. Egg hatches, merchant panicks, drops off baby dragonborn at a monastery where the lizard kid learns to control his inner anger (due to chromatic bloodlines). Does not become a monk because his sorcerous powers are prevalent, but has a similar mindset. When he feels the non-magical monks have reached the end of what they can teach a sorceror, he decides to leave and head for New Phlan.

 

[Shayuri]

Hm! I believe I will go with the shadow monk neeeeeeeenja then. Not sure if anyone's pitched a rogue yet, but I could fill a 'roguish' party role if not.

Edit - Ah, Kiraya has! A charismatic arcane trickster. That should be fine...I suspect we shan't have much overlap then.

 

[JustinCase]

Don't let my sorcerer stop you from creating a similar character. As far as I can judge, we've got all the classic roles: tank (paladin, druid), divine (paladin, druid), specialist (rogue), arcane (sorcerer). Seems to me you can make whatever you want, [MENTION=4936]Shayuri[/MENTION].

 

[Shayuri]

Oh you're not stopping me from anything. You're helping me make up my mind.

That's a good thing!

 

[Skarsgard]

Well Helios is now done, gear has been finalised.

I know it is probably a long way to second level but I was wondering what people thought of the Protection fighting style.
I see great use for it if working side by side with another fighter or defending a caster, for example, but have no real experience with it.

Have any of you guys tried it?

 

[Shayuri]

It's very strong, IMO. One of the best combos I've seen in 5th Ed is two fighters with good ACs and the Protection style fighting side by side.

Disadvantage is just brutal when against good AC. When foes need luck to hit you, giving them disad REALLY hurts. And when they can both do it to one another...dang. But even without that, it's quite good.
