Do you mean we start lvl 2? what does "PG3" mean?

A: yes, you all start at LVL 2... Ao that's why you know each other, and work together. PG 3 it's the page here in The thread where your character info is, in case someone  wants to see it.

More questions:

- Do you use traits/ideas/bonds/flaws? Can i pick/make my own?
- How do you give inspiration?
- Since you gave a gold amount, should I consider my character as having no equipment and purchase everything?
- Do i get to keep unspent gold from character creation?
- How much HP i get on lvl 2 (if it's a roll i can use roll functionality of the forum to generate the number)

OK, I'll be more "town and people" oriented, then probably (I was thinking Noble background, considering what I wrote).

I have a question for the team : considering the different options I have, I'm hesitating and want to see with you for a well balanced group.
Between those two : should I be more damage oriented or protection oriented? By protection I also mean the one of allies (close to me).
As a controller, I was thinking more protection oriented, but if I team up with a bersertankr and a sniper (for example), it wouldn't make a lot of sense to be able to protect allies, where dealing more damage (multiple attacks in fact) would be better to protect just myself. ^^'

What do you think?

It depends on type of weapon you want to use. I think the group is solid overall, so you can go damage.

I will be a better tank anyway: the opponents will be able to hit me more easily (still, I have AC17) but they will deal little damage. On the other hand using protection style will allow me to use reckless assault safely. The thief is good at disengaging so he should be able to stay out of danger. If we had profane spellcasters I would say go protection, but we don't.

Overall the variation in numbers is low, so don't worry too much. As GM said, we can respec at lvl 3.

we don't have any thief.
Weapon will be the classical sword, the choice is either dual wielding (basically +1 attack), or shield (and with appropriate class/skills/feats it is more than a AC+2, especially for comrades around me).
I'd probably be around AC 17 too.
I'll wait to see what Felondra and Kyllian do, they might be interested in close protection. n_n

A: 1 - yes i use then, as they are my guideline to give inspiration... And yes you can create your own.
2 - you don't need to represent per say, but if i saw that you make use of this info ,i'll give you one... And the other way is when you have a great idea that can save the group... That's why i have said that not all problems are resolved by muscle.
3 - exactly that! Buy everything... Or use the BASIC gear given in creation and buy the rest with the extra gold.
4 - yes
5 - the first LVL it's full, and for the second OR you take half +1 ( example the Barbarina has d12... So 12 for the first LVL + 7 for the second), OR you roll the dice on the game day... For both ways you add after your constitution modifier.

Felondra wanted a rogue, so we have a thief (old term for rogue, and a specialisation now i beleive). Kyllian wants a cleric. That would be a "no squishy allowed" team.

I should have around 40 gold remaining, so if you can't buy small items (because you invest in armor for example) you can ask me

Oh... I mistook rogue with ranger... ^^" OK, my bad. ^^'

I don't understand

Everyone can wear armor (I won't because i go classical norse style, but it won't hinder me) and have good AC + a bunch of hitpoints. Lowest hit dice in the group is d6, but the thief is good at not being hit.

Yep, and I'm going for this spec so... we have a "thief" (I'd describe myself as an archeologist, but some short-witted used to describe me as a tumb pillager... until we had a little explanation.


Some questions to the group ans GM:

1) So we know each other ok, but between the archeologist, the wildling and the city-noble, what's binding us together? What made us a team when we were sooooo joung and lvl-1ish :p ?

2) Do we get more gold/equipement for beginning at lvl 2? I ask cause I think I'll enjoy buying many little things to make a proper archeo-gear and I think it'll cost much :p

3) Do we have a group-alignment? I think I'm chaotic-good.

4) Mister, do you want us to send you a character sheet (in pdf format)?

I'm sooooo gonna be a gnome-engineer in search of treasures from the past

Felondra, answer to my question! ^o^"

1) Yeah, we'll have to think that through.
2) It's written in the first post.
3) It's written in the first post.
4) I think it's easy to find one online?

For the character sheet, there's a good one here

UUUUuuuupppss Thanks for the answers, didn't see the first post since first time on the topic:flower:


Which question do you want me to ask? The "damage/protection" one? I don't know at all, seems like Akanon answered pretty well and he seems to know his stuff

A: I'll leave that for you guys, BUT if can't figure out something i got already the answer...

Felondra a écrit:

A: Starter equip (or gold) described on the player's Handbook + 75g

Felondra a écrit:

3) Do we have a group-alignment? I think I'm chaotic-good.

A: The answer for this is also in the first page... But to keep it simple, no restriction, BUT it's a hero campaign, being evil get's you more likely to get you in trouble.  

Felondra a écrit:

4) Mister, do you want us to send you a character sheet (in pdf format)?

R: If you could, that would be great (mister23@outlook.com)... And if with it there's also the background, then it's perfect!

I'm on a lookout for an ancient weapon and you are a tomb raider. So it's works well together. Kami doesn't fit so I guess he must resign... Or answer the question of "why will I go somewhere where nobody but my companions will witness my awesome fighting style?"

Worst case we can still imagine some ancient curse that hit us all after that lvl 1 job and that we must dispell before X happens or suffer a terrible fate (but that's kinda cheap)

One of us should have a reason he wanted to create a guild... Maybe our Tyr priest?
I joined the guild so I would get famous and my fighting style with it. Besides, I'm still far from mastering it so I need real situation practice. And I also need to prove its efficacy in every kind of situation. I'm the one with all reasons to be in that guild! ^^

I think I'll stick with the defense type character, and you'll all be thankful when you retreat close to me in hard times. ^^

I wouldn't join a guild. Some of you can be part of a guild but I will be there for some tomb raiding. I can be the guild's consultant as a wilderness subject matter expert if you wish.

So, my new concept:

I'm a former engineer who, one day, found myself more interested in discovering artifacts than building gears for rich people.


1 question for the GM:

1) Can I pick "member of a guild" as background? I've got in mind the possibility to be an ex-engineer for the Merchant's League in Baldur's gate, building them lockers and other safety stuffs.

Eeeer… Akanon, I think you’re going against the initial proposition of Mister23, with that concept.
Read again the first post:

Mister23 a écrit:

The adventure will happen in the Forgotten Realms, and the players are part of a guild of adventurers who are trying to make Their name with the other factions (The guild name is up to you). For this reason, missions tend to be somewhat challenging, so be warned that losing the character is a real Possibility.

.
We’re supposed to be willing to make our own guild, make it reknown and glorious, this is the main purpose of the campaign he’s got in mind. What about the parts that are not outdoor? You’ll won’t assist to these sessions? You’ll play your character being somewhere else in the outlands? It’s not fair.
To my opinion you should either change of character concept, or adapt it so it fits with a desire to join a guild and make it famous!! All character should! That’s Mister23 initial premise and we shouldn’t hijack it.

@Mister23: Do you play with PHB Chapter 6 Customization options?
I'm asking for Feats (not for multiclassing).

A: Yes... The guild artisan background is exactly that ( PG 132 of PH)

Forgot about this part. I can see myself being into "raise my reputation" thing (which is the same as raising the guild reputation, right?). I like boasting, and if we do stuff worth bragging about all should be good.

We kinda need to know what it is however. Adventuring guild usually means "kill monsters and bring treasure home", so these are probably the two guild performance metrics that will get us attention.

I also have a different character concept that fits better the guild and fame part and that is interesting to me. Just in case.

Point being: let's define our guild concept.

A: Both things are available...  Feats if you're not an human ( variable) you can only get once you get to LVL 4...

@Akanon: Yeah, your concept like mine would like to shine through the guild, which is then more a way to "amplify" the reach our reputation can get.
Sounds interesting!! ^o^

I’m thinking Mister23, I don’t know if you planned to implement it somehow, but it would be interesting to "feel" the evolution of our reputation (whether via a mechanic way or just via the RP of NPCs, etc). It is the purpose of the guild, through it it would also be the purpose of my character and of Akanon’s, maybe others as well? (What is the gnome motivation to make our guild reputation thrive?? ^^ What is the priest’s? ^^)

Yeah, for feats I realized it's shooting myself in the knee to go for one at character creation (I'll go human). Feats are interesting, but I find them really costly compared to what you have to give in exchange...

Let's think about some fun (and pertinent) guild concepts!! ^^
Bring out the ideas!! n_n
