[/sblock][sblock=Features]Background: Sage (Researcher)

When I attempt to learn or recall a piece of lore, if I do not know that information, I often know where and from whom I can obtain it. Usually, this information comes from a library, scriptorium, university, or a sage or other learned person or creature. Unearthing the deepest secrets of the multiverse can require an adventure or even a whole campaign.​

[/sblock][sblock=Notes]Is Adventure really about the things we're doing, or the freedom it gives us? If it's just the feeling, why waste money, time, your very life on such a thing?[/sblock]

 

[EarlyBird]

Don't we already have someone making a druid?

Or a cleric - Here is an update before I hit the hay (I am an early bird btw), please talk among yourselves as you are all in this together.

Night all it has been super fun so far.

 

[River Song]

Can we roll for starting gold?

My character isn't going to be interested in Rapiers and the like but needs money for other items.

 

[EarlyBird]

Can we roll for starting gold?

My character isn't going to be interested in Rapiers and the like but needs money for other items.

Go ahead with the starting package stuff and we will have some RP to do when we re-equip your character. So I would take whatever cost the most for that high resell value lol

nite all

 

[Binder Fred]

I don't wish to start on the downward spiral of changing things, but as with the mule-frog just re-skinning them as we can.

Ah, disapointing that. <Thinks....> Sleep spell as Denge fever transmitted by a swarm of blood-sucking insects conjured from thin air?

 

[River Song]

Settling on Half-elf Female Charlatan Bard.

She will be taking all the Charisma based skills that she can and with such a large party she will be almost a pure spellcaster/skill uses/ support.

[sblock=Backstory]

Templeton was an orphan who grew up in the slums of the Free City of Greyhawk. He was able to survive by catching and eating rats, and being able to navigate the dark and dirty underbelly of the city. He was found as a teen by Father Icarus an adventuring Priest of St. Cuthbert and "saved" by the elderly adventurer. Templeton now makes a meager living by going town to town and using his skills to catch vermin of all sorts.

[sblock=Features]Background: Rustic Hospitality

Feats
Dungeon Delver
Alert to the hidden traps and secret doors found in many dungeons, you gain the following benefits:
You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) and Intelligence (Investigation) checks made to detect the presence of secret doors.
You have advantage on saving throws made to avoid or resist traps.
You have resistance to the damage dealt by traps.
You can search for traps while traveling at a normal pace, instead of only at a slow pace.

Rogue Features
Expertise
At 1st level, choose two of your skill proficiencies, or one of your skill proficiencies and your proficiency with thieves’ tools. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies. At 6th level, you can choose two more of your proficiencies (in skills or with thieves’ tools) to gain this benefit.
Sneak Attack
Beginning at 1st level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe’s distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or a ranged weapon. You don’t need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn’t incapacitated, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack roll. The amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Rogue table.
Thieves’ Cant
During your rogue training, you learned thieves’ cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in a seemingly normal conversation. Only another creature that knows thieves’ cant understands such messages. It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly. In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves’ guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.

Lady Rebekah

Lady Rebekah de Salignac
Half-Elf Bard 1

Charlatan N

Strength 8(-1) Dexterity 16(+3) Constitution 14(+2)

Intelligence 10(+0) Wisdom 12(+1) Charisma 16(+3)

Rebekah is a narcissistic opportunist and manipulator who enjoys the fine things in life.​

[sblock=Appearance and Personality]Gender If you cannot tell then I am not doing this right.
Age How dare you! I am a Lady!
Height 5'4""
Weight This is scandalous!
Hair Deep Chestnut with traces of spun gold
Skin Like Porcelain
Eyes Warm Honey Brown

Lady Rebekah always dresses in the finest of clothing and maintains an immaculate appearance through the use of spells and cosmetics..​

Traits

Flattery is my preferred trick for getting what I want.​

Ideal

Aspiration. I’m determined to make something of myself. (Any).​

Bond

I fleeced the wrong person and must work to ensure that this individual never crosses paths with me or those I care about.​

Flaw

I'm always in debt. I spend my ill-gotten gains on decadent luxuries faster than I bring them in.​

[/sblock]


[sblock=Backstory]

The woman know as Lady Rebekah would never admit to anyone, least of all herself, of her humble origins; that person simply did not exist anymore. If anyone from her past was to approach her she would respond in outrage that ‘It is simply absurd that a lady of any standing cannot perambulate these country locales without being accosted by every peasant who thinks they know her. The very notion that someone as refined as myself could be of such base origin is scandalous!’

Lady Rebekah would bemoan, to anyone who would care to listen, how ill-fortuned she had been to cultivate a friendship with the sister of the Marquis de Loncre. The darling man had simply been in love with her and as a kindly natured future sister in law. Rebekah, as her innate kindness was ever want to be abused, found her self at odds with the ill favoured child who had the ridiculous notion that she was some sort of social climbing parasite.

Such effrontery could not be born and Rebekah, rashly underestimating her amours steadfastness, called upon the Marquis to choose between his future wife and beloved and the baseless claims of an intemperate child.

Finding herself short on funds and without a home, Rebekah was cruelly thrust back into the world as if she were some sort of common criminal. With but some small possessions and barely any pocket money, she must once again find her way in this cruel and unfair world.

[Binder Fred]

Rana the Green, swamp witch

(Human-variant fey-pact warlock/hermit)

A wizened old woman, wrinkled face, nose like a knife. By her side stands a gnarled wooden cane with a flared head and a huge, blasé-looking frog with all the leather fittings of a horse. In her youth, pacts have been forged - with the dripping plants, the inhuman spirits of the swamp, with what some call devils and what others call the Fae. She is, in short, a swamp witch from some nearby swamp, perhaps apprenticed to one of the locals (in partnership/competition with Steve Gorak's druid/cleric, perhaps?), or part of a local coven maybe?

[River Song]

Lady Rebekah is looking for a female companion/servant to help share the tedium of adventuring. To suggest travelling unaccompanied with people of the male sex would be outrageous!
