Dot in please.
DOT!
Dot, alias to come. Note that as mentioned in recruiting, I'll be on vacation 6.3-6.10, so my posting will be limited to smartphone posts without book access.
Dotted... alias forthcoming.
and here's the alias... DM, if you'd like anything specific in the tagline, please let me know for so I can put it there for ease of reference.
I'll get my Alias up soon.
Kick-Lick is here! Let fun times begin!
Alias dot. I'll await the tagline info desired before plugging it in.
I'll have an alias up tomorrow.
Here's my avatar.
For tagline info, I'd like it if you could include: Color, Race, Class, Hp, AC, Initiative, Perception.
I'll post the first official gameplay post sometime later today. The frame of reference for all your characters is that you have been stationed at an Allies encampment for training, with varying degrees of success. You may have found some companions you've grown to trust, or maybe even been exposed to a bit of racism.
Feel free to add in details about people you know or past experiences.
Hope you're all ready to get started.
Alright, let the game begin!
Doing a bit of pre-planning as well, so when possible please private message me what kind of themes you see specifically for your character that go beyond color.
For example: Red could be passion of battle, artifacts, fire and magma, dragons, etc. Blue could be minds, dreams, control, knowledge, wizards, etc.
And so forth. I think you can all guess why I'm asking this early. Though to be clear, this is for player input, end results may vary.
Just want to put this out there for the party: I'm probably going to take the Moon path and wildshape into combat.
I'm not sure how much of a front-line we've currently got since I usually see rogues/monks played as skirmishers, so that should add some tankiness once we get to lvl 2.
That would be good. Looks like we actually have no tanking at the moment. The vampires could have decent toughness though, due to their healing bite.
My character will be a front liner. I'm gonna go for heavier armor and I use sword and board.
There seems to be a few issues with some of your characters. Minor mistakes unless I missed a ruling somewhere.
Tes: I don't believe you should have a feat as that's a human variant which trades out the ability increase they receive in each ability.
Vitrius: could you explain where the 12 hit points came from? I believe you should only have 1d8 + CON modifier.

Hmmm, you may be right DM, I'll check the players guide tomorrow and adjust accordingly.
Hmm...I'll check Hero Labs math as soon as I am back at my computer... I think I see what happened though. Zendikar vampire I entered as a new race, but it counted the first HD all humanoids get and the class HD, rather than replace it. I'll fix that...
I'm ready to regroup and move out, in case we're waiting on me.

Whoops, too much Pathfinder and 3.5 on the brain, will remove that!
Having a cauldron as my backpack seems fitting.
Before I post, I'd like to double check: It's pretty close to sunset, right?
And as a side note: Knowing that there are quite a few other druids among the allies (including some quite powerful ones), Kala En will keep an eye out for hidden messages made in the language.
It's estimated you have a few hours before sunset.
FYI I will be away Friday through Sunday please bot me if necessary.
Thanks.
So the next post is up, but I haven't had a chance to set up the battle map completely yet. I'm using roll 20 (you will need an account, hopefully not a problem), unless someone suggests a better solution. I should have the map ready sometime tomorrow. Until then, ready yourselves for combat.
Well that was fast. Map is up and ready. Feel free to post when your turn is up.
Is there a link to the map or to join the roll20?
The link is at the top of the page labeled battle map.
I have Roll20, but it doesn't come up on my phone, so I'll have to get to a computer to see the map, then I will post my actions.
I will sign on when I get home later tonight from work.
As I mentioned on 5.15, I'll be on vacation 6.3-6.10 (leaving tomorrow evening). Feel free to bot Kala En as necessary, her skills and saves are all available on her profile.
Her primary form of attack at this stage is the Thorn Whip cantrip (+4 to hit, 1d6 piercing damage, melee spell attack with range up to 30ft, pulls hit enemy up to 10ft).
DM: Could you please roll a thorn whip for Kala? Proper formatting is a challenge on the phone.
Tes: In 5e, concentrating on a spelll doesn't take your action. You can attack, cast a non-concentration spell, or take the dodge action.

Next action coming right up then!
A quick question.
Do you prefer keeping knowledge secret to characters in game, or posting freely?
Normally in-person games its tend to hide certain information which is entirely possible with PbP games. However, having info out there may save on redundant posting (I tell someone something, and then they have to convey it to the others) and you might also lose out on a tactical sense (spoilers showing only what your character perceive). But there is also a certain fun to having info no one else might, in an RP sense.
So which would you rather go with?

Secret, especially in a Magic the Gathering game, after all only with certain artifacts or cards can you see what is in your opponents hand!
Secret, mostly because it inspires characters to role play out what they know and in some games, leave out certain details...
I would hope we're not opponents!
Little preference from my end. I agree that it can make information transfer take longer, but it seems like people are having fun with it, and it doesn't bother me.
Secret.
Just waiting on Tes. I'll give it until tonight before updating.
Might be her player went on vacation for the long weekend, could be good to check in on PM.

Gained cunning action, hit points up to 27, and sneak attack up to 2d6.

Also more spell slots and lvl 2 spell access.
working on leveling now.
I can and I will, unless you want to :-)
I don't mind my toes being stepped on if we all live and accomplish our goals!
EDIT: I spent the extra 7 on Wisdom (4), Intelligence (2), and Strength (1). +10 More HP and all of the other cleric goodies.
Ready to go!
I think it suits your flavor better. I'll prep Longstrider for now.
Glanced at your profile Tes, and saw CLW x2.
In 5e, spells aren't prepped quite like in 3.x/PF. You choose Cleric level + Wis bonus spells to have ready for the day, then you use your slots to cast them spontaneously.
You don't have to determine what spell each slot holds in advance. It's considerably more flexible.

Ah thanks for the tip! Still learning 5e.
I think Vitrius is set to go.
