mikeawmids' Hoard of the Dragon Queen [5e]

Game Master mikeawmids



OOC discussion thread up!

You have been travelling together for several days, but may have known each other to prior to that at your discretion.

Huzzah :) - I'll polish off the details over the next 24 hours or so - but all the major choices are as per the post in the Recruitment thread.


AC 16 Init +3 passive perception 15

Going to tweak spell selection a bit, but generally speaking, ready.


Male Half Elf Gunslinger 1

I'm mostly ready, very skill monkey-ish.


Female Human Paladin 1

I'm going over the options now, but I'm also at work.


Ready, is my character approved GM?


I have checked your profile over and everything seems to be in order.

I'm assuming that Caiphon is a Great Old One of your own invention? I cannot find any reference to this being in the PHB.


Check this 4e article out, Caiphon's Paragon path kind of gives you a hint about him... www.wizards.com/files/366_Warlocks.pdf

I've been having too much fun looking up proverbs containing gold in it. Rission just has a fascination with gold, he's not greedy, but he appreciates how it exchanges hands and how it is forged. He's a goldsmith and the fact that one of his necklaces could travel the lands and end up somewhere that he would never travel inspires him to make quality products so people will buy it.


Thanks for directing me to that article. Seems Great Old One would be a good fit (better than the Archfey or the Fiend).


Half-Orc Barbarian 1

Hmmm... I think I may have figured out 5th edition... every single one of us attacks with a +5 ;)


Male Half Elf Gunslinger 1

Lol I wish. No, they are aware of us so we don't get advantage, at least I don't think we do.


Half-Orc Barbarian 1

You mistake my meaning - every single one of us is attacking using an ability score that we have a +3 attribute bonus as well as proficiency.

Eg Krathok with a battleax = Strength = +3 from Strength +2 proficiency = +5
Rission with a bow = Dexterity = +3 from Dex +2 proficiency = +5


Female Human Paladin 1

Well that's if we don't have a higher ability score to our attack. But it is really simplified.

How do ciritcals work? I'm not at home with my book.


Male Half Elf Gunslinger 1

Basically double damage, no need to confirm. There are a few variant crit rules and my favorite is one die max damage plus 1 rolled plus double damage modifiers. It makes crits seem more effective to my home group.


Critical hit = roll your damage dice twice, then add any modifiers to the total.

Also, no need to confirm a crit.


Attacking a prone creature grants advantage if you are within 5ft, or disadvantage if you are not. Standing up consumes half of your total movement action. A prone creature has disadvantage on all attack rolls until it stands up.


Unless you declare otherwise, I will assume all weapon damage is lethal.

Madeleine doesn't believe in pulling punches with dirty Kobolds.


Male Half Elf Gunslinger 1

On mobile atm so I'll remember to remove 2sp from my sheet when I'm home. Other than that, how is everybody?


Female Human Paladin 1

Hung over. Free liquor isn't ever free. You pay the price the next day.

Hair of the dog. Old druidic remedy.


Male Half Elf Gunslinger 1

Really depends on your drink(s) of choice. It's hard to drink on a diet so even though I'm a guy I'm stuck to either skinny girl drinks (laugh it up, on a weight watchers diet it's 0 points) and a vodka and tonic with some watermelon of that flavored water squirt stuff tastes like an alcoholic jolly rancher. That being said I can drink amaretto in dr. pepper 10 for 1 point or a pint of certain hard ciders for 3 points.


Sorry for delay posting, having trouble with internet connection at home. I have limited access at work, but no rule books to consult. Will post in the IC thread ASAP.


Female Human Paladin 1

I will be unable to post until late tonight. Work and stressing out.


I will roll Madeleine's stealrh check on your behalf. :)


Male Half Elf Gunslinger 1

Will roll my stealth check, sorry been a long day. I work third shift so I just woke up a few hours ago and haven't been able to check.


Male Half Elf Gunslinger 1

Hmm, so how's everybody doing? Seems like a quiet week in the land of Faerun.


Female Human Paladin 1

Something is wrong with the site for me, for the last few days I've only been getting in half the time.


Female Human Paladin 1

Like just now I tried to post in this thread and the game and it just locked me out.


Male Half Elf Gunslinger 1

First few days of the great golem sale, so people are trying to grab the goodies while they last.


AC 16 Init +3 passive perception 15

If anyone's looking for a game, I'm running Ravenloft for 5th edition.


Male Half Elf Gunslinger 1

The castle or the Demiplane of Dread? I've done the castle a few times in various editions.

I'll be dropping out of this game, something just doesn't feel right. Not getting into the vibe of this character, i'll try your recruitment though Nerk... I think the GM made a mistake here, a full fledged, week long recruitment gives us time to invest in and flesh out our characters...


AC 16 Init +3 passive perception 15

Rission (you probably saw this in the other thread, but...) just the castle at this point. If the game is awesome and fun and we get to the end, there will be a sequel. For now, though, I'm just trying to run the adventure as a one-shot.


Female Human Paladin 1

I wish I had seen the post about that earlier.


Half-Orc Barbarian 1

FWIW - mikeawmids has been active on the forums on both Sunday and Tuesday (making seven posts) without making a post here, so I think it's fair to call this dead.


Female Human Paladin 1

I had kind of figured as much.


Male Half Elf Gunslinger 1

The game is dead, Mikeawmids would you be so kind as to mark the game as dead? It was fun while it lasted though.


Female Human Paladin 1

If no one posts in it won't it go away on it's own?
