D&D 5E (OOC) Rise of the Dracolich (Full)

The timing of your post confused me a bit, I hadn't realized you were in Australia!

Edit: we have people on the east and west coast of north America... if we have someone in Europe or Asia we could say that we have a group that circles the globe!

I thought Fitz was a brit?

He's in British... Colombia, ie a very Canadian province

 

[gargoyleking]

Haha. Maybe that's it...

I am hoping to accumulate some better gear for them in the future. Shields and swords maybe. Not sure if there would be any penalty to them using martial weapons, but basic skeletons have a higher dex than strength, hoping to get them a finesse weapon beyond a dagger.

Shortswords should work well with dex.

Martial

Yeah... but I was thinking that most skeletons that I have met (in D&D and IRL) have used short sword and shortbow.
But... is the Mordguard sheletons??? Maybe they are zombies??? Ok. no martial weapons...

Same here, though I haven't met any in the RL. But it's a game and I'm happy to let it be as it is for now. I'm more curious as to how likely 3 lightly armored skeletons are going to fare in the face of the first aoe to head their way.

Are short bows martial?

 

[gargoyleking]

Yep

 

[Ancalagon]

skeletal crossbowmen then?
