I think I've got a guy in my other 5E game that would play. I'm thinking of adding a 5th player too.
Second question: Personally I'd rather any new player roll up a native of Barovia so we don't have to figure out some reason why they showed up. Our options include
Ismark or Ireena (they can be whatever class)
One of the Martikovs (any class again)
Random Barovian (not really random, there's stuff happening in the background you guys haven't discovered yet)
Dusk Elf (Spoiler Alert! You'll meet them eventually)
But how do you guys feel about that?
Sounds good to me. We never replaced or witch we originally lost.
Folks I'm going on my semi-annual transatlantic business trip and will be traveling this weekend and next. I expect to have internet access at the hotel so I should be able to post, but I may be slower at responding than usual. Please bot if needed.
Hello all, and thanks for inviting me to your game! I look forward to playing
Welcome Ozgo, glad to have you aboard. Also happy to see your starting level ;)
As a paladin feel free to give pointers as I get Valen through the winery.
Aye welcome!
Thanks..cannot wait to get into the game with you...are you still running this other paladin??
We started the scenario at the Winery thinking he had made it back, but he hasn't posted since the festivities started so I've been running, , him until we leave this Winery scene. You're welcome to him until we're clear and Oz can start, as long as Niles is cool with it.
I have an idea about Oz joining you guys after the Winery.
Hello everyone,
I'm taking my family to Disney World from Feb 24th to March 4th. During that time my posting may be sparse, I'll try to post from the hotel at night but I can make no promises. If this is a game in which I am a player do not hesitate to bot me if you need to. If this is a game in which I am the GM, please bear with me for the next couple weeks.
Thanks,
Niles
Nice! Have fun!
Ditto have a blast!
Hello,
this is Kassimir joining after invitation from GM Niles.
Looking forward to play with you people!
Welcome Kassimir,the winery will soon be back open for business. At least once we clear it of a few thorny issues.
Hi Kassimir
I am the other new player....looks like we are in for some fun adventuring!!!
That is certainly to be hoped for^^
Maybe i can help with the thorny issues, a bit of fire might serve there.
It'll be a storm!
Oh welcome by the way.
Welcome to our dark and dangerous journey :)
Aloha^^
Some questions:
Passive perception is just like perception? Or 10 + Perception mod?
Kassimir also gets one more language, but i don´t really know what to take.
I´m also open to adjust spell selection to GM advice and hints from other players. Mainly took the fire spells so far because of the bloodline.
yours would be 10. 10 + wisdom modifier
someone will notice you even if they aren’t searching. To
determine whether such a creature notices you, the DM
compares your Dexterity (Stealth) check with that creature’s
passive Wisdom (Perception) score, which equals 10 + the
creature’s Wisdom modifier, as well as any other bonuses
or penalties. If the creature has advantage, add 5. For
disadvantage, subtract 5.
on spell selection, I can say Malthorn's fire based spells have been useful, granted he has a limited selection. Other than that I've only played as a cleric before this so limited in my playing knowledge of 5e spells.
Ozgo, Kassimir are you guys ready?
Ready to go when you are!
Talus did you see the full 20 level Mystic was released?
Edit: If you want to rebuild using the newest rules go right on ahead at level 5
I didn't... Thaks for the notice, will level up tonite
Yeah the last UA was the full Mystic, it includes way more options now for Mystics.
Niles have graduated from the PDF to the PHB, would it be OK to retcon some of Malthorn's choices, outside of normal spell exchange.
Granted the only thing I know for sure can be done through that, Hex.
Edit: would run them by before submitting level update.
@Malthorn Sure
>Ready to go
wow, there's a lot more there.... might take a me a little to digest
There's uh not much to do when you level in 5e. Gail gains: 5+3 hp, proficiency bonus is now +3, the ability to cast level 3 spells (Mass Healing Word memorized), Domain spells: Call Lightning (probably semi-useless in this campaign, but I love the visuals) & Sleet Storm.

Malthorn Lvl 5....
hp +6hp = 33 (5d8+5)
Proficiency Bonus +1 = +3
Spell known: +1 = 6
Spell Slot Level: +1 = cast as 3rd level spells
Spell attack: +7 Spell save DC: 15
Invocations: +1 = 3 - Devils Sight can see normally in darkness magical or normal up to 120'
Exchange spell: Mirror Image for Dispel Magic
New spell known: Fly
Cantrip: Poison Spray for Cantrip Blade Ward
1st lvl: protection from evil for 1st lvl spell Hex
As for the Book of Ancient Secrets - if possible I'd like to swap Floating Disk for Identify. I would have sworn someone else already had it, as Poison Spray and Floating Disk were both last minute can't think of anything at the moment what would be useful down the road picks.
if not is the spell available to scribe?
Under the text for Ancient Book of Secrets it states if I'm holding the book I can cast the spells within as rituals, last part of the paragraph states "You can also cast a Warlock spell you know as a ritual if it has the ritual tag"
That means I can cast the 1st lvl ritual Comprehend Languages without burning any spell slots? Thought I could do that anyways
If all this is good I'll update the sheet for Malthorn.
Re: Malthorn's retcons They all look fine. Re: Rituals and book...I have no idea man. Whatever is the simplest is usually right imho, so yeah if it has the ritual tag you can cast it as a ritual without spending a slot (that means a much longer casting time however) I think what the Book of Secrets let you do is cast Warlock Rituals without the long cast time maybe?
Sorry to intrude folks, there appears to be a mix-up. Somehow I've gotten control of this campaign. Niles, you want to email Chris or should I?
Sorry, travel day.... I'll try to get Talus updated tomorrow....
Well, that's odd. Thanks Fez. I'll email Chris.
Apologies, half done my update to Talus, been crazy weekend with family then travelling back home , to really busy at home and work...
Just a heads up, i´m not getting updates on any of my PBPs at the moment. Gonna make an inquiry there.
Hope the entry at this point was allright.
Looks like they've just rolled out the fix.
Sorry for the delay all, has been an extremely busy weekend, if you enjoy volleyball, please enjoy the shots from this past weekend on FB @ Myrtle Madness Volleyball 2017
Apologies again for holding anything up

I just remembered, we've picked up three magic items but don't think we've determined who i using what..
Ring of Fire Resistance
Cloak of Elvenkind
While you wear this cloak with its hood up, Wisdom (Perception) checks made to see you have disadvantage, and you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide, as the cloak’s color shifts to camouflage you. Pulling the hood up or down requires an action.
Gulthias Staff
Anyone who studies, uses the strange looking staff finds it has several magical properties. It is a Gulthias Staff. Made from the branch of a Gulthias tree, a Gulthias staff is a spongy, black length of wood. Its evil magic makes beasts visibly uncomfortable while within 30 feet of it. The staff has 10 charges and regains ld6+4 of its expended charges daily at dusk. If the staff is broken or burned to ashes, its wood releases a terrible, inhuman scream that can be heard out to a range of 300 feet. All blights that can hear the scream immediately wither and die.
Vampiric Strike. The staff can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff. On a hit, it deals damage as a normal quarterstaff, and you can expend 1 charge to regain a number of hit points equal to the damage dealt by the weapon. Each time a charge is spent, red blood oozes from the staff's pores.
Ray of Enfeeblement: You can point the staff at a target and cast Ray of Enfeeblement on that Target as per the spell The DC to resist is 13 and this takes 3 charges from the staff.
Blight Bane. While you are attuned to the staff, blights and other evil plant creatures don't regard you as hostile unless you harm them.
BTW I see the blights on the map, am I missing where the axe is? Guessing somewhere around t4/t5 area.
I put the axe on the map now.
Sorry in used to use the edit function to add this to posts, but it's not possible from phone with the app I think.

Hi all, just a point of note, this better not go long. With the exception of Kasimir, most of us are about 1/2 our hp totals, we did not heal after the last encounter.
Making the GM's 'Good luck' all the more troublesome.
Hmmph maybe I should have used the mass heal instead, but I'm hoping the sleet storm will prevent them from all bundling us at once.
Will be back tomorrow folks, 16hr day and my brain is fried.
Apologies all, I am ghosting mainly this week, 27hrs on the clock in the past 2 days and not looking to get much better before Friday. Should be back on regular posting by Friday evening, Saturday morning. Please bot as needed
I´ll be on a business trip this week and can´t guarantee interent access or posting sadly, but will do my best.
There´s very tough time ahead of me untill the end of the next month workload wise, so if i´m slow in responding, i´m not gone, just overworked and will show up again.
Hey, We are having some weather related issues here (I have satellite internet so...) and I'm taking my family on a mini vacation from Thursday-Sunday. The Hotel should have WiFi so I'll try to post daily, but if I don't you know why. If this is a game I'm GMing, I'll be back on Monday for sure. If this is a game I'm playing feel free to bot away.
