(OOC) The Dog Days of Doom

[Lidgar]

Have a short break this AM and trying to catch up. Deirdre will be going war cleric - so extra attack and combat spells like spiritual weapon. She can do ranged or melee - so fine with the marching order Snarf suggested. I likely won't be able to update her or post in IC until Saturday though. Sorry about that felllas.

And as a side note, I'm in Northern California (Sierra Nevadas), or Canada South Precinct. My closet is filled with flannels and the smell of grunge.

Then you're an honorary member. You just need to apologize more ;-)

I don’t know how warlocks work but you cast Aid twice. Will you still have spell slots after that?

Level up happens during short rest so you wouldn’t have access to Aid until after short rest.

Its lovely that you celebrate BC Day weekend too...

Ontario has the civic holiday to celebrate my birthday. It’s very thoughtful of them.

Happy Birthday! Have a good weekend.

It's a rest cast (see this link for explanation). Level up during short rest, cast, then finish short rest. Aid is especially nice on a warlock (8h duration, short rest slot refresh, no concentration. Benny has 2x 2nd level slots because he hadn't used his slots before the rest (I was too frugal with my slots, hoping that this frugality will benefit the group).
Your call if you don't want me doing this.
Cheers,

It's a trick I hadn't thought of, but it seems to work. A warlock can save their slots until just before a short rest, then blow them on spells with an 8-hour+ duration, leaving them with all their spell slots and 7-hours+ left on those spells.

Im trying to be lenient because it’s a one shot and you won’t get a long rest (most likely) but at the same time, there will be opportunities for more short rests so you will have to decide if you want to use the slots now.

The short rest is what lets you level so you can’t cast aid before the rest unfortunately.

You do have a scroll of protection from evil if you want to use that.

Yeah, it’s a good use but I like the level up to happen during a rest. You need down time to reflect and learn so, until you finish the rest you don’t have those higher level abilities at your disposal.

Havoc will go Battle master, with parry, riposte and that one that allows changing places with willing people. Switch something.

He is also slower than Stratus...so unless we expect more trouble from behind than from ahead, he should be in the front
