[OOC] Quickleaf's Rime of the Frostmaiden [closed but waitlist is available]

[happylace]

@happylace Your sheet looks good. Thanks for tracking the item slots for your gear. Looks like your character is carrying 9 / 8 packed items, so would be a little encumbered? Alma Ostergaard is approved

Yeah since her trinket is a book I figured it probably doesn't count as Tiny for the purposes of slots? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks!

So since it seems nobody else took Religion, should I swap out one of my character's skills so we have that covered?

Yeah, for books and stuff it's probably negligible unless you start collecting and carrying a bunch of them (like 5+) on your person.

The exception would be someone casting from a book or wielding a book as an implement (which would be tracked as an Equipped Item).

I wouldn't worry too much about total skill coverage, because my house rules have lots of skills in play. Including my additions and the PHB skills this includes:

edit: Skills in which no one has proficiency so far are Nature, Religion, Medicine, Performance, Airways, Endurance, High Society, Riverways, and Seamanship.

Spoiler: list of ALL the skills and how many PCs have each so far

This accounts for 7 out of 9 PCs. Anything in blue means at least one PC is proficient.

Athletics x1
Acrobatics x1
Sleight of Hand x3
Stealth x1
Arcana x4
Investigation x4
History x3
Nature
Religion
Animal Handling x1
Insight x5
Medicine
Perception x2
Survival x2
Deception x4
Intimidation x2
Performance
Persuasion x5

Alchemy x2
Airways
Commerce x2
Craft (specialty) x2 (smith, carpenter, woodcarver, hurdle-making)
Dungeoneering x1
Endurance
Folklore x1
Gaming x2
High Society
Mechanics x2
Roadways x1
Riverways
Sage Lore (specialty) x2 (astronomy, meteorology)
Seamanship
Skullduggery x1

Abyssal
Deep Speech
Draconic

I suppose that means my Cards Tool Prof is actually Gaming Skill Prof?

Yeah. That skill also includes all kinds of games of chance and skill, like dragonchess too.

 

[Necropolitan]

Unless Commerce is going to be important I think I might switch it out for Religion just since it seems like it might be important.

With all this fiendish warlockness and Levistus stuff, I have no idea why you would think that.

edit: Btw, I forgot to mention, but I'd prefer to avoid player-vs-player stuff, or at least minimize it. Friendly rivalry is fine, or rolling off to see who wins at cards or something. Thanks

Was double checking your PCs' skills mostly to make sure everyone had bonus skills for any high intelligence, but caught one thing...

@Neurotic Looks like you are gaining 3 skill proficiencies from your Haunted One background – Investigation, Sleight of Hand, Survival – when you're only supposed to get 2. I think you have one skill too many?

Also, I'm sure you know, but you get a bunch more racial features for gnome/svirfneblin that aren't on your sheet. Just wanted to make sure you don't forget!

Oh, okay. I'll adjust that on the sheet so that doesn't take a slot, then. I'll make sure to keep track though, because I'm planning on probably collecting a few lol.
