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

[Ancalagon]

I feel ya. I guess I just didn't realize at first, how much of my magic would be wrapped up in 2 slots per short rest and a whole lot of EB spam.

It's funny how they say that the warlock is an easy class to make - is it? There are a lot of moving parts and yet not a lot of resource. Your invocation and cantrip choices are key IMO - you want those "tricks" as back up (beyond mere EB spam).

I may have mentioned this, but I'm very amused that Kalorn is sort of sneering at the necromancy, and his level 6 hexblade ability is well, pretty necrotic...

Some people have said that said ability really doesn't fit the hexblade (why isn't is something more "fight-ish"?). A second attack would be more boring but would fit better, and you would then have an evocation free (thirsting blade) to do something else with... but I think I'm ok with this. It sorts of make sense - the hexblade does have a bit of a necromantic overtone (shadow of moil? armor of agathy?) and it also would make sense that the hexblade's raven queen influence would result in a more "spirit" like type of necromancy.

I know that we'll never reach that level (level 6 spell), but if he had, Kalorn would so be a user of Soul Cage...

I’ve been gone a few weeks but it looks like everything’s going pretty well.

If we lvl up, Primus gets an additional Discipline and access to his highest tier abilities. Things like creating a gate that transports anything that goes through it up to a mile away, and an AOE that targets Int and does 8d8 damage and stuns everything in a 20 ft cube.

I’ll probably take Telepathic Contact next. It lets me hold conversations with up to 6 people in my head at once, and let’s me try to take over enemy minds.

 

[tglassy]

So Primus can change one Saving Throw Proficiency and switch out 2 skills after the long rest. I usually keep Dex Saving Throws, but Wis might be a good idea. Not sure what Skills would be useful. Any ideas?

 

[Ancalagon]

Well if we do face the dragon, fear and breath weapon are what are worrisome...

Re trolls: I don't think we can take a decision until we speak to our objective (Maccah - sp?). I just hope she's not in league with the Cult...

 

[gargoyleking]

Mord ritual cast comprehend languages before leaving. It'll be good for an hour.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

So... I don't know if I got an actual consensus - are you stopping at the troll's cave, as you agreed to with them, or continuing on past it to go find Maccath yourselves? It could be a trap (or at least, the trolls could have changed their minds about helping you) or, you could anger them if you don't follow up on the plan.

 

[gargoyleking]

I'd say follow up. If nothing else, I'm sure they'd make a nice distraction.

 

[gargoyleking]

Hope I'm not making life too hard on you Fitz, figured including him in the conversation might give us more to work with in the end.

No, that's fine. I kind of like writing dialogue for Imani. Just don't expect him to solve all problems for you. If he could do that, he wouldn't have hired you lot.

 

[gargoyleking]

Nah, just maybe add some insight.
