So far we have
Ranger 1st
Cleric 3rd
Barbarian 3rd
Warlock 1st

@Saashaa, it looks good. If I catch something later we can fix it.

@Nefarious, it is on your Account Settings page.

Updated roster:
Sliver - wood elf ranger 1 (Dax) - Emerald Enclave
Greycastle
Aukan - goliath barbarian 1 (Niles) - Faction?
Saashaa - human warlock 1
Nefaerieous
Stigand
Dalron human life cleric 3 (Buckshot) - Faction: Order of the Gauntlet

Just waiting on three more characters. If they want to use Mordenkainen's as their +1 we will wait until Monday, giving the players a weekend to sift through the information.


going to make a dwarf Fighter (Champion / Great-Weapon build)

where abouts does the quest start. look where the dwarf would be holing up in the area

durh, Sword Coast in mountains /facepalm

or would a shield and axe be more helpful to get my AC up with heavy armor?


If I'm the Barbarian, I'm only level 1. This wasn't originally an AL character it was just an alias I made for a different game.

Also, My +1 is Volo's so I can play as a Goliath

Edit: What would a good faction be for a Goliath Barbarian??

Grand Lodge

@Stigand, if you make the great weapon build I would aim to make your first feat Heavy Armor Master and not worry about the shield.

EDIT: You can pick one of the major Dwarf citadels: Adbar, Felbar, Mithral Hall, Gauntlygrym, or Mirabar. Alternatively, you can come from Waterdeep, dispossessed of your ancestral home.

@Aukan, Enclave would be the obvious choice, but you could easily be Harpers or Zhentarim as well. Lords Alliance would be the least likely choice and unless you were going for a Zealot Barbarian, I would see Order of the Gauntlet as an easy choice.


Nah, It's gonna be Berserker....

Edit: Emerald Enclave might work


Ok, No problem. I will check in on Monday then.

Is there any benefit being a rouge in 5e? I know in 3.5 they were the only ones that could disable magic traps.

Grand Lodge

Rogues are pretty crazy in 5e. Though sneak attack only can take place once a turn, it now gets multiplied by crits. Their Cunning Action allows them to strike and move away without provoking AoOs. Once they get Uncanny Dodge, if they do get hit, they can use their reaction to halve the incoming damage. Their Evasion is pretty beefy as well, though it only affects Dexterity saves (making certain spells still effective against them.)

EDIT: Assassin archetype gets mad bonuses for combat ability, and Thief archetype is the only one that gets that all interesting Use Magic Device ability!

If you are looking for damage, an assassin that uses poisons is pretty gross.


found this:

Any character can attempt an Intelligence (Arcana) check to detect or disarm a magic trap, in addition to any other checks noted in the trap’s description.

I'm open to roll what ever the group needs to fill a spot. Look at my Volo's guide for a rogue-like race.


Thanks, I'm no longer the invisible avatar! Was looking all over the totally wrong page.

I have an interest in playing a wild magic sorcerer, but there's the rolling on the wild magic table. Do you think that would be interesting or just a distraction? Don't want to have a character that's too much work. Plus there's still the Light Cleric idea, which I think can be different enough from the current Life Cleric, especially as mine would be level 1.


I think it'd be interesting. When you do your attack and damage rolls, you would add another for the Wild Magic. don't see you rolling too many 1's and if it is, go back to edit and roll a d100 and type a (ooc) of its effect.

Grand Lodge

For Wild Magic Surges, it will be up to you to remember them. When I play my Wild Magic Sorc, I keep forgetting until half-hour later! :p


Wild magic sorcerer it is! I've roughly fleshed it out, will get it better and get some deets to ya tomorrow. And will do my best to remember to roll that extra d20. Half elf, brand new (1st level), highly curious, courtier background, getting sleepy, going to retire for the night.

Grand Lodge

Starting to shape up!

Updated roster:
Sliver - wood elf ranger 1 (Dax) - Emerald Enclave

Stigand - dwarf fighter 1 - Faction?

You still have room? I have a few different T1 characters I could run, but since everyone else is making new characters, I will go ahead and create a new character as well. Expect it shortly.

Okie dokey. Just send me a PM if that happens!

Grand Lodge

Will do! ^_^


Ready whenever you guys are

Grand Lodge

We are giving Greycastle the weekend to peruse Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, and anyone else for that matter. We will start Monday after Grey proposes his character.


Graycastle needs to make a passifest that tries to stop all combats and have dance offs to settle disputes....lol


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I do think Dance Offs work great for Starlord. Not sure about the pacifist side of things though, the do have the perfect Paladin subclass for it though lol.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

If there are dance offs in this adventure, this is going to be awesome.
(It'll be awesome either way.)

Grand Lodge

*Thinking of a way to include a dance-off* :9

Grand Lodge

Looked at Mordenkainen's today. The Gith are beefy, interesting choices. The new Tiefling variants were interesting, but I was hoping for more. They had lineages from the Devil Princes, but none from other heritage lines, like say, Rakshasa or Oni. (But it was thematically aimed at results from the Blood Wars, after all.)

The Eladrin are really neat and flavorful. The Shadar-kai are freaky cool.

Other than that, they reintroduce the svirfneblin and duergar. I didn't see any other player options in there.

Anything look good, Greycastle?


Well, I was thouroughly unimpressed with the Githzerai. That was what I was waiting for. :( So I’m going to go with a Tabaxi Monk. (Snow leopard) Your Rakshasa comment led me this way a little. Lol Sorry for the delay not to even use the book.


no troubles. was debating monk and now I can see how it works out for you ^_^


Don't worry, it's better to know than to think"I wish I did, now how can I change this".

Grand Lodge

Sounds good! I will be ready to begin moving things along by Monday. Go ahead and post in the Gameplay thread, if you haven't already!

Woo hoo! Excited to bring you all through this great, giant story! (Ha ha, see what I did there? Yes, I am corny.)

Grand Lodge

I'm looking for a game for my 3rd level sorcerer. Anyone know where I can find a game for him?

Grand Lodge

I think your best bet would be to keep an eye open for games. Is this an AL character?

Grand Lodge

Yes.
I'm looking for a game on the paizo boards. I have other characters for other boards.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

Grand Lodge

They show up once in a while. Seems like only a handful of us are running AL here.
