Hmm...Aukan and Astrid are very very much alike...same stats, same weapons, same proficiencies. I might have to change things up...
Re:Skills Is that a house rule? Because I wasn't aware that you could choose different skills than what the background listed.
If you get the skill as the result of race then I believe you can take whatever. That said I am also allowing changes to the base profession skills. Pick something thematic.

Hi All
I will check my spells, and you are probably right..I was too excited with the games and probably switch the spells around (so..10 1st level (6 to start, plus 2 per level) and 2 2nd level?? Is that right?)
Also if I am in, I will make up my alias and get ready to play!!
Oh and HI Niles!!! Looking forward to playing with you in this game!!!
You would have 6 to start.
Then at level 2, you get 2 more spells - 8 total. In this case all level 1.
When you hit level 3 you can pick another 2 spells, these can be level 1 or level 2 spells. I'll assume its level 2 spells.
So you'll have 8 level 1 and 2 level 2 spells - 10 spells total.
K, looking into the cleric idea.
Want to come from Ethangar Khanate and saw in your wiki entry for Cityh of Rhoona that theres and Ethangarite temple there : for Cretia. I did a search and found he was a CE god of trickery.
Any others I can worship?

The module would be sensitive when it comes to the Ethangar Khanate and religions. Ideally I'd prefer you to not worship any of their specific immortals or have a close affliation/loyalty with the Ethangar Khanate and/or Cretia if you want to stick to that concept.
Maybe an outcast or immigrant if you still want to be from the Ethangar Khanate? I could still make it fit and in some places may even work a little better for having your character present. Its not a bad concept to have your character from there.
I'm willing to let you go Shaman type cleric in your approach - venerate all the immortals equally. It could blend in well with the module. The Cult of Cretia has been picking up a lot of influence in the last few years. A shaman could find himself being exiled/reviled for not following Cretia or toe-ing the line officially.
[edit]You could be loyal to the 'homeland' but more in the way of 'loyal opposition' to the current direction they've taken with Cretia etc
Otherwise? The Norse gods (particularly Frey/Freya) are most common in Vestland but Rhoona is a bit different. They follow the Lawful order of Forsetta as the 'state' religion. Following these gods would fit. FYI - Forsetta was a great Norse clan leader named Ruthin that lived in the lands of current Vestland, near the Trollheim.
Format
Use this format for your characters or something similar. Note that he has a status bar set up in the Class/Level field
The status bar has the following:
AC17(19) HP 27/[33] passive perception 14 passive insight 12 Init +0 Saves: S+3 D+0 Cn+2 I+1 W+4 Ch+5 LoH 15/[15] HD 3/[3] Adv. vs Charm and Sleep. Dark Vision. Spells Lvl1: 2/3
As you can see its pretty comprehensive but I can get a great feel for your character without needing to go into your profile.
Hmm...Aukan and Astrid are very very much alike...same stats, same weapons, same proficiencies. I might have to change things up...
Your differences will arise more once you hit 4th level. You can take a feat and get to 18str but the feat you choose will be quite central to your character concept.
Athletic is a good one as is tavern brawler. I believe unarmed strike just does 1 hp (+ str) damage but with Tavern Brawler its like being a low level monk + superior grappling (and a +1 str)
Here's Astrid with the format you requested. I just need to flesh out her backstory a little bit more.
Looks great Astrid.
OK the shaman path sounds right for me....whst domains can I assume at available?
I'm open apart from trickery. Life is always a good one (spear instead of mace maybe?), War also fits the nature of the tribes. Nature would probably be more shamanistic - even tempest could work, the power of the rolling storms that cross the grass plains of his homeland. Make something that will be a joy for you to play.
[edit] Shortbows are simple weapons, you could buy one (if you wanted to go with the horse archer type) with your basic kit + 50gp approach
Everything is done.
Do you think you should put up a Gameplay and Discussion for us to dot?
Leave it for a day or so for people to nail down their characters
What you can do is post a sentence or two how you know or are known by the others.
Astrid is quiet and young, but is one of the most ferocious fighters you have ever known. Curiously enough, however, she always seeks more nonviolent solutions than attacking things head-on, and always seems reluctant to ignite her rage. The more perceptive members of the group can tell that unlike her boisterous counterpart, Aukan, Astrid would like nothing better to settle down and start a family, fading into obscurity, but her status as a hero and something else seems to keep her from doing so.
Here are my copy/pasted notes from my word document.
I'm really sorry for the lack of clarity, at present.
I'm working on it when I have the option.
Skill Proficiencies: Deception, Sleight o f Hand
Tool Proficiencies: Disguise kit, forgery kit
Equipment: A set o f fine clothes, a disguise kit, tools o f the con o f your choice (ten stoppered bottles filled with colored liquid, a set o f weighted dice, a deck o f marked cards, or a signet ring o f an imaginary duke), and a belt pouch containing 15 gp
I put on new identities like clothes.
F e a t u r e : Fa l s e I d e n t i t y
You have created a second identity that includes documentation, established acquaintances, and disguises that allow you to assume that persona. Additionally, you can forge documents including official papers and personal letters, as long as you have seen an example o f the kind o f document or the handwriting you are trying to copy.
1 I fall in and out of love easily, and am always pursuing someone.
2 I have a joke for every occasion, especially occasions where humor is inappropriate.
3 Flattery is my preferred trick for getting what I want.
2 I owe everything to my mentor—a horrible person who’s probably rotting in jail somewhere.
3 Somewhere out there, I have a child who doesn’t know me. I’m making the world better for him or her.
4 I come from a noble family, and one day I’ll reclaim my lands and title from those who stole them from me.
1 I can’t resist a pretty face.
2 I'm always in debt. I spend my ill-gotten gains on decadent luxuries faster than I bring them in..
5 I can’t resist swindling people who are more powerful than me.
Independence. I am a free spirit— no one tells me what to do. (Chaotic)
Friendship. Material goods come and go. Bonds of friendship last forever. (Good)
Aspiration. I’m determined to make something of myself. (Any)

Only another creature that knows thieves’ cant understands such messages. It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.
In addition, you understand a set o f secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory o f a thieves’ guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or w ill provide a safe house for thieves on the run.

Almost three and a half centuries ago, long before the actual country was founded, the distinctly human Stayanoga family came from distant lands across much of the world to Vestland with the intent to become a local house of power and influence, bringing with them an extremely large caravan of slaves, servants, mercenary, and honor-guards. The first and rather extensive generation of half-elves was born almost immediately thereafter, setting the plethora of elven slaves (free to wander and roam about and generally making their own lives quite purposefully distant from the barbaric, but powerful exotic Eastern family who'd claimed them).
The family established themselves as a powerful political force, influential in social and financial institutes and methods. Fearing a hostile takeover, a few local powerful families got together to force the ambitious, foreign, and exotic Stayanogas from simply ascending to power. This successfully dispersed tensions, eased the Stayanoga ambition, and tied them successfully to the health and wellbeing of their local houses and peoples.
Between following through on their promises to their slaves, the local families, and their tendency for liaisons with elves and half-elves, the Stayanoga family remained strong and influential, maintaining their position as a noble house despite all the political shifts and changes through the years, as well as their strongly-exotic looks and appearance (which has actually allowed them to maintain some amount of political power and influence). They have further created powerful traditions dating back to their time of travel, purposefully mingling (and mangling) their various exotic names and styles, including laying claim to more powerful elven ties than they probably actually have.
Within the last two or three generations, however, things have been a going poorly. Chen'darvin Jandar "Vall" Jeledrivol Stayanoga was a brilliant heir to the Stayanoga house, and they seemed to be surging in sudden preeminence and power, threatening to politically and financially take over a larger share of area than their peers. Even into his older age he held onto power and vigor of one beyond his years, and seemed ready to expand; his children were content to leave things in his hands until his death, and were even raised so that not they, but their children would rule instead. Chen'darvin wasn't popular, but he was unassailable, politically. So someone had him assaulted physically, and he was assassinated... or almost assassinated. Though the assassin was thwarted, the damage was (unknowingly) done, and Chen'darvin - always extremely stingy with his secrets - began spiraling into paranoia and madness, eventually caving in mentally and suddenly dying two years after the attempt, leaving his children suddenly in charge of a massive, complex, and secretive web of politics and networking they knew next to nothing about. It was effectively a disaster, and, though they held on to the Stayanoga name and power as much as possible, the family came very close to bankruptcy and even dissolution as a noble house. The name and family successfully recovered back to a relatively normal amount of respect, but it has been a long, difficult climb from near to the bottom of the social ladder.
And so it was with no small amount of horror that the three siblings were suddenly deeply involved in a strange and mysterious situation involving fiendish pacts, strange magical power, and a bizarre disastrous calamity that leveled several city buildings. With their contacts, skill, and a great deal of luck, the family managed to mostly survive, though not unscathed. The last two male heirs - two brothers once deeply devoted to each other and the family - were forced to "leave" for the sake of the family in different ways - only the daughter remains with the noble title, and the future of the Stayanoga name - once considered unassailable - is now in doubt.
The process for naming a Stayanoga is a complex ritual-laden process. A name from the depths of their <Reshemi> past is chosen, and then processed with <Shou> and <Tethyrian> names are chosen and blended to represent the <Reshemi> one. These form their second and first names, respectively. Each is then given an elven child name, and are expected to choose an elven adult name that closely align, in sound, to their first and second name during their "maturation ceremony" - a ceremony that happens far earlier for the half-elven family than for the elves it borrows from.
Even the Stayanoga name is not without influence from other names - they name themselves the Siannodel family (meaning "Moonbrook" family) within all of their rituals and personal conversation, despite being "Stayanoga" to the outside world; accordingly, the family emphasize the moon and flowing water for various purposes. These rituals are freely taught and practiced by all those who are considered members of the household, from servants to guards to strong family friends. Though mystical, they are not inviolate and change from time to time, according to the needs and understanding of the family as it grows. Though not, strictly speaking, a secret, these nuances create a very exotic "otherness" to the family that aids in creating an air of mystique and power, combined with their relatively exotic appearance.
Arcane Trickster: Charlatan; Fai'r'Grim ("Fair-grim") Faurgar "Faen" Felquelim Stayanoga
CG spoony bard rogue with a wry sense of humor and flattering (if honest) tongue
- after an "incident" - something confusing with terrible magical forces, and lots of confusion - in order to avoid any repercussions, he was quickly smuggled out of the city in what at first was made to merely appear to be a kidnapping... and then became one. Taught the arts of magic by a miserly and terrible creature obsessed with secrets, power, and theivery named "Liteswii" (Light-soo-ee), Fairgrim did his best to maintain a positive attitude and a kind demeanor despite his harsh and hateful master.
Despite Liteswii's best efforts, Fairgrim never truly forgot his origins, nor came to hate his family for effectively selling him into a combination slavery and apprenticeship. Instead, he worked hard to become a quiet hero amidst his tormented life, and learn the ways of being a good person no matter what vile lessons Liteswii tried to beat into his skull, back, or shins. Despite that, Liteswii was extremely protective of Fairgrim for many years, ensuring he never went hungry (at least, not for too long) and took surprisingly excellent care of Fairgrim when the lad became ill. Liteswii never allowed Fairgrim to believe that it was true emotion or care, however; "I must ensure my investment comes to fruition." is the refrain for any sort of thanks. Instead, Liteswii would demand especially difficult or painful services from Fairgrim in "payment" - often of a darker nature than Fairgrim was willing to follow, normally.
Some years ago, Liteswii finally overstepped his bounds. When he forced Fairgrim to slip into a home and steal some food and magic, and an innocent woman found them, Liteswii demanded Fairgrim kill her. The young man refused, and he and his mentor fought, as the woman quailed. Liteswii won and killed the girl, despite Fairgrim's best efforts. Though Liteswii was going to take Fairgrim back despite his "betrayal" the two were discovered and captured - and lacking their magical power, were quickly overwhelmed by the guards. A deep investigation proved Fairgrim's relative innocence, and Liteswii's relative guilt. A bargain was made, and Fairgrim walked, with no knowledge of what happened to Liteswii thereafter. No news of hanging or other execution was forthcoming for a time, so it seemed he was imprisoned somewhere.
Sorry for any in-game-world weirdness. I don't Mystara well enough, so I'm mostly just guessing/going with what is printed in the 5E Core Rulebook (which also happens to be references to Forgotten Realms which I know quite well). Also, hex map of the whole world for the curious. It helped me get a bit of the context for where we are, exactly.
For the record, find the pink thing in the top center (the "World Mountain") and go down below the first river. That brown-and-green area is there Vestland.
Comparing those with the ones on the obsidian site has aided me, and I figured it might you guys as well (though it can be hard to read).
Also, I've not really found any "non-hex-maps" so...
I mean, I've got this one and this one and this one, but those are exclusively Blackmoor; while this one is sparse enough to be nearly useless to a n00b like me; this one - former languages known aside - requires me to read a language I no longer can; this one I can't read at all; this one is just sea currents, which, while awesome, is not helpful to me; this one is a little too crude (though I couldn't do better); and this one just makes my ADD cry in a corner.
This one is okay, and this looked cool, but I just... I'm not familiar enough.
Anyway: hope those help!

Switched Aukan up a bit, he now uses a shield and axe now instead of a maul. I'm contemplating him taking the Dual Wielder feat at 4th level...then he would become a whirling engine of mass destruction when he frenzies with all the extra attacks.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Ok, here is my character and his new alias. Fixed spells, so should be good to play!

Both Frenzy and Dual Wielding cost a bonus action. Sorry, Aukan.

Ugh, I knew it was too good to be true....

I'm open apart from trickery. Life is always a good one (spear instead of mace maybe?), War also fits the nature of the tribes.

Aukan might know a few people from his time adventuring. He has spent a good part of the last decade adventuring in one realm or another.
Magnus could have met people while at school (if they have a magic background) or while travelling to Roona. He was in the north to help a family friend, so they could be a part of that as well...

How about you guys were thrown together in a quest or adventure together while on the road? Defending a burning inn from orcs or something?
Sure.
Sounds good to me...Magnus would have aligned himself to strong fighters for protection anyway (though he would never admit this!!)
The orc is brave, but foolish. See how he charges ahead...watch as I show him his folly.
Of course! Everyone needs some leadership! Especially that delicate, lovely flower, Astrid - oh, hey, look, a Buxom Barmaid! Surely a damsel in need of my assistance! I must away!
You should probably make an alias, TL...
"Of course!" he says with a flourish. "Everyone needs some good, solid leadership!"
He glances over at the large, powerful woman easily capable of crushing him with a glance, much less a bicep. "Especially that delicate, lovely flower, Astri" suddenly, he glances to the side, "- oh, hey, look, a Buxom Barmaid! Surely a damsel in need of my assistance! I must away!"
And with that, he agrees to join the group with the mysterious call of the Jee-'Ehm... just as soon as he rescues some folks!
Jump on into the game
Is this done, or do you still have room for another?
Sure - jump on in... I think we need another rogue, wizard or cleric type.
