D&D 5E [D&D 5E] Securing the Alliance: An Adventure in Tethyr (FULL)

Boddynock is ready for review. Might be an error or two in math; I'm good, but not perfect.

Question: Assuming I'm accepted, how do you want to handle Wild Surges? The book says the GM decides when a surge is appropriate, but in my own games I house-rule it so that any time you cast a spell you check for surge (normal surge is 1 on a d20, followed by a d100; when Tide of Chaos is in play, it's just the d100). But, your game, so I have to check how you want that handled!

Question: Is there some inside joke about Schepp's first name that I don't yet know about?

Wild Surge: Pretty sure that's how I play it. I'll have to check the books when I get back home tonight.

Your character: If you have the time, you should read through the first adventure of this series - Tattered Memories: An Adventure in Tethyr.

TL;DR: Brue's nemesis ended up being a Rock Gnome Wild Magic Sorcerer named Philbert "Vials" Boddynock.
 

That's awesome. Complete coincidence too; I adapted Schepp from a game I created him for that I didn't get accepted in to.
 



[MENTION=6801323]Marcelus14[/MENTION]: Enjoyed the background story. Good stuff.

[sblock=Gnorth's Character Sheet]
HP: I'm getting 31? 8+2+5+2+5+2+5+2
AC: 12 with Leather, (11+1)
Init: Go with +2, Jack of All Trades applies
Skills: Arcana should be +5
Spells: Looks good, note that you can swap out up to two 1st level spells with 2nd Level spells if you want, at 3rd and 4th Level. Part of the Spells Known feature, the new spells don't have to be the same level as the old spells they replace.[/sblock]
 


[MENTION=6800672]Egon[/MENTION]: I'll review the mechanics, but I'll need a bit of background for the character to be up for consideration.

Everything looks good to me. Note about the spells as I mentioned to Marcelus14. If you want, you can swap two of your 1st level spells for 2nd level spells (once at 3rd and once at 4th Level). Just pointing it out in case you were unaware.[/sblock]
 

I too plan on submitting a character. Battlemaster Fighter, sword and board. Though I do plan to do a little research before fully writing out a background, he's mostly built. That wiki link is greatly appreciated for some historical background on the region. Once I figure out how best to format and post (super new here), I'll have it submitted by Sunday!
