D&D 5E Return to The Temple of Elemental Evil - (full, at the moment)

[River Song]

A tiefling bodyguard maybe? My character wouldn't mind a plausible 'cover story' for attacking the cults.

That would be most amenable!

 

[Shayuri]

Hehe, well, uh...maybe a druid bodyguard?

Hee hee!

I'm not making a tiefling paladin anymore.

Not sure on race of the druid yet. Oh wait, we're limited to PHB for race, aren't we? Hm!

Halberd and maul - going real big weapons, nice.

I think the party will have a bard, paladin, and druid so their shouldn't be a shortage of healing somewhere. And the fact that there are 8 PCs means the fights should be short and not cause to much trouble. Warning this is based on old school D&D so every room won't have an encounter although it will feel like it.

My guy is pretty much done. Just trying to puzzle together a background story for him. I'm going the ol' "Beaten by a tyrant (bond), Taught peasants to take up arms against said tyrant (Folk hero defining event), Then got the hell outta Dodge before tyrant killed me (flaw)" route. I'll get him posted soon.

I apologise to all, you don't have to change your characters for me. With this many players, there is bound to be some overlap.

I never played or even read either of EE so I don't know what to expect, but I can take over any character if needed.

That said, I would prefer said paladin (going for ancients)

Play what you would prefer mate, I think all bases are covered.

No character in stone yet, so get your ancient smite on my friend.

As to characters here is my review of the great and all knowing Templeton. lol

- 114 INT ??? God like indeed lol
- not a real need for the Greyhawk languages unless you really wish it, maybe trade Keoish for Celestial taught to you by Father Icarus? may get more use out of it
- love the choice of feat - you will get some use out of that for sure
- As for background we could say a gargantuan rats swarm was infested a neighborhood of Greyhawk and you flooded out the beasts thus gaining your folk hero stats There may even be a wooden carving of you somewhere in the neighborhood (which folk say smells a lot better than the real life version).
- And with not enough vermin around to give you a descent living you set out to help other villages and towns.

Neurotic, it's fine. A vengeance paladin actually does play relatively differently from other oaths, but I don't think we need another dedicated warrior for good balance. I didn't have my heart set on a paladin, so this is a painless change for me.

Yep...114...not a typo! Lol
He is so unlikable. I almost saw him being a "necessary evil " so people would let him in or be overrun by vermin or tweaking it so only hobos and the great unwashed would take him in.

As for languages, if other human language won't come into play I can go with Celestial.

Yeah the adventure takes part in and about the same area so no need for all those others. I may add an NPC speaking one for flavor but not needed otherwise.

Another character reviewed Lady Rebekah

- first thing I would suggest is a change in skill choice; change out History for Stealth - A lady would never eavesdrop, but then again.
- under features you should list fey ancestry and darkvision, I think Gwylla also needs to do this not sure
- love the backstory and the bond - we're going to say that the mark who is pursing you is a Half-Orc (given your language choice) we will develop this as needed not all at once I'm thinking of using him to get her out of town and go along on adventures
