D&D 5E Keep on the Borderlands - OOC (Filled UP)

[Shayuri]

Hmm. Still need another player?

How does this work, with two groups?

 

[EarlyBird]

We will have everyone divide up into to teams to take on an adventure. After which I hope to have everyone "regroup" at the inn (downtime may help here), and then divide into two different groups to head out again on a different adventures.

First off Spearitual Weapon and Spear-It Guardians - LOL very cool
Also liked the use of Primal Savagery in your background.
Equipment:
- Didn't see the warhammer (the elven gift) in your list, plz add one. It has been decorated with feathers and twining vines around the head. Maybe something you keep in your room as a reminder?
- small stone knife (not for combat, for cutting things)
- hunting trap w/spike and hammer
- belt pouch with [roll1] GP

woohoo i get a roll for gold, always nice! thanks!
updated, kept the warhammer ( had forgotten to edit the background ), probably good to have a blunt weapon around just in case...

on the aside, I really like the retainer thing (Rorik), recently during a huge debate between my RL group regarding 1e/2e vs 5e (BTW, 5e is the future get use to it grognards!), we were discussing how the Gygaxian system we have been playing at for 35+ years has gone awry, in that we dont do the henchmen, nor acquire the lord/sage keep/tower etc as per the old rules when you got to level 9ish...granted we very rarely got/get to level 9ish in our 1e/2e games... and that modern RPG ( PF/D&D mainly) is all about epic levels , and how it is difficult to justify PCs playing at gods when you dril down into the nuts and bolts of it ( you can only save the world from world ending BBEG/dilema's once maybe twice in a lifetime?) ...anyhow, rambling, but my point is, somethign which was lost is the idea that higher level characters become the lords, and then PCs move on playing the henchmen ( true Gygaxian system) and the higher levels played at a D&D version of Axis and Allies.

Another detailed and ready character, the only thing I have is a suggestion: Swap out Crown of Madness for Mind Spike - so when you reach 6th lvl it will work well with your Expert Divination feature
Equipment: and another character loaded to the hilt, lol Plz add the following:
- a shortbow & quiver w/20 arrows or a short sword (your choice)
- 2 scroll cases
- paper (6 sheets)
- quills (2)
- ink (2 bottles)
- small bag of sand
- belt pouch with [roll0] GP
And add two of any of the following spells to your spellbook: detect thoughts, locate object, see invisibility, grease, burning hands, or protection from evil and good

Thanks, that's all good! I just took what the class/background standard equipment was, so adding stuff is probably unneccessary (but I'll take it! ). It surprised me that the Haunted One background gave nothing in coins, so this'll fix that.

 

[Shayuri]

Seems like the second group could use someone roguey, eh? Or maybe a backup healer of some kind.

Or both, hehe

Magic item Rolls search : 1D20+3 = [2]+3 = 5


Number of rolls on table A: 1D6 = [2] = 2


Rolls on table A: 1D100 = [4] = 4
1D100 = [80] = 80


Cost of magical items: 1D6+1 = [5]+1 = 6
1D6+1 = [1]+1 = 2


Potion of healing for 30GP
1st level spell scroll 10GP

Coyote code seems to hate me at the moment.

100GP to search for magic item
30GP for the potion

Is there anything that I use the rest of the 500GP for, like purchasing mundane stuff, like more healing potions from the PHB equipment list, or possibly a horse?

 

[EarlyBird]

Sure can, you are just adding the magical items as things you could buy with your 500gp.

 

[TallIan]

Thanks.

Due to the dissapointing magic item search, I've had to scratch a bit to decide what to buy. Only thing left is Roriks spell list - I hope.

I didn't buy the scroll in the end.

Can I do hand-me-down with the various armour. Since I upgraded Rorik to Splint Edgar can get the Chain mail...

 

[EarlyBird]

You can, but remember there will also be an armory, where Kordo Vas is the quartermaster. A place to bring in gear the groups find and store them so they can upgrade/equip NPCs and such.

 

[TallIan]

Rorik is, FIANLLY (I hope) done.

 

[EarlyBird]

Rorik and the crew look ready to go.

And you took most of the Noble background gear, hmmm. Plz add to all that...

warhorse with
-bit and bridle
-saddlebags
-military saddle
and a belt pouch w/ [roll0] GP (instead of the noble's 25gp, EDIT: LOL meant to be I guess)

Was I not supposed to? It's mostly the posh stuff nobles need to prove they are noble

warhorse with
-bit and bridle
-saddlebags
-military saddle

Cool, thanks, that is generous. I was tempted to look into the cavalry route, but didn't have the gold to get a warhorse, and then the first two HP rolls were 1's so decided HAM would be better than Mounted Combatant anyway.
If you don't mind, I might tweak his equipment purchases to try and get the horse some barding, and then also buy a lance.

Lol, I guess so

 

[KahlessNestor]

Character checks, still working on them harder than I thought.

Tassarion
Hit point maximum is listed as 5
do not see which cantrip you chose for Arcane Lore
Background feature not listed
Arcane Shot options not listed: plz chose 2
Equipment:
-Loaded for bear, just add 2 unbreakable blunt tipped arrows, and
belt pouch with [roll2] GP

Sorry. The PDFs exported from D&D Beyond do leave some things to be desired. All the information is in Beyond, though.

HP: 37
Cantrip: Druidcraft
Background Feature: Fey Knight
Protectors of fey crossings and portals to the Feywild.
Feywild Attunement - You hold a rank in the Fey Knights, those elves, gnomes, and fey that guard fey crossings, and all the rights and privileges of that rank. You always know when near a fey crossing or portal to the feywild and know its exact direction. In the Feywild, you always know the direction to the major locations (such as the Summer Court, Winter Court, etc), subject to the DM.
Arcane Shot: Grasping Arrow, Seeking Arrow

Well you were suppose to make up your background to fit your character, and then I was gonna give you the background gear and gold. But Noble seems like it fit very well.

I would wait till after the first adventure. Maybe something that you could ask be crafted or purchased from passing caravans. Note your the only person with a mount right now, getting horses for the others will come later, and that's when you'll need the barding and lance.

 

[jmucchiello]

Is Bard allowed? Human obviously. I might be interested again.

 

[EarlyBird]

Yeppers. Human bard is allowed.

 

[TallIan]

Ah yes, I forgot that.

Ok

Actually posting in the IC now as well. Somehow I missed that it was up.

 

[Radaceus]

[MENTION=6899077]EarlyBird[/MENTION] do you happen to have an Elf name for Ungar regarding how he came by the Bronze Lion in his back story, or I can make one up?
( I would use Curathion since it was Beleg's name in elvish, and an astute Tolkien reader will under stand my plagiarism )

 

[EarlyBird]

Please pick any you like, I will try and add into the game things from backstories as best as possible.

 

[Shayuri]

Ah, okay if jmucchiello is looking to join, I shall bow out...especially since he's considering exactly what I was.

Truth be told, I have serious doubts I can handle another game anyway, so this is for the best.

Have fun, all!
