[5e] White Plume Mountain [Completed!] (Inactive)

Game Master mishima

I think we'll definitely wait for Mord's tome of foes on this one.

Good idea! I am torn between rogue or monk for this one. Do you have any build restrictions?

Here!

I present Narnel, Wood Elf Kensei Monk. I reserve the right to make changes after MTofF is released. Lol! He currently possesses a +1 Rapier and Gloves of Swimming and climbing. I was not sure if this would be too much magic?

As someone with a character that is literally a living suit of armor...no, that isn’t too much magic.

You purchase magic items as per this table and the DMG

Narnel, both those items are table F items, and therefore cost 8 TP each for a total of 16 TP. So thats ok.

Thanks, I appreciate you running through the calc. for me.

Molok is here..just trying to decide on what magic items he might want to pick up!!

Added utility or help with crazy solutions to things is my suggestion!

Belt of Dwarven Kind!!!

+2 Con (pushes you up to 18)
Resistance and Advantave on poison
Grows you a beard!

And I don’t know...flametongue?

https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Flame%20Tongue#content

Make it a greatsword: 4d6 damage each hit

Then stand next to me for +4 to all saves, while you protect me with a flaming greatsword

lol, thought you were joking about the growing a beard part. That could prove interesting as an animated armor...with a huge open fire source in front of it.

For Molok. ;)

I spent my 16 on the amulet and being a suit of armor. :)

LOL...Molok uses a maul as his primary weapon...but a flaming maul could be interesting...was also thinking of some utility items to go with a weapon upgrade....

Yeah, Im reluctant to give specific suggestions, but there are definitely some items there which can circumvent problems you'll be presented with.

I guess my folding boat isn't one of them.

I can neither confirm nor deny the awesomeness of the selection of the folding boat. ;D

I’m going to run a 5e Middle Earth Adventure if you are interested.

I’ll tailor the game to the player-heroes created.

*flipping through tome of foes thanks to Ken*

Mostly race options. I was enjoying the fluffy stuff, personally. For example some tinker gnome contraption suggestions: "A chain-driven tomato smasher that is also able to fly" because of course.

Urth, sorry I didnt want to commit to GM another game (I think 2 is my sweet spot), especially since I know nothing of the rules. I will dig through that source book and make a character for submission, however.

I’m liking it, too! Although I haven’t read very far yet.

I think I’ll be going with a githyanki awakened mystic with a big skill focus (maybe urchin background). The secret base he was being raised in was attacked, and he was one of the survivors who fled to a nearby city to live on the streets. I’ll have him statted up this weekend.

Sweet. I was sort of astonished at how clean the gith stats were...as in not bloated or cobbled together.

Just looked it up. Githerazi look pretty cool. Makes a perfect great martial casters. Ironically, if I were to make one he’d be a strength based arcane trickster rogue, using two short swords and medium armor from racial ability. Throw on some mithral halfplate and good to go.

Githyanki? Pretty amazing monks. Monastic Training with Psionics? If it wasn’t for their +1 Int they’d be pure win.

Anyways! Look forward to seeing your build.

Poking around, and found Yuanti Pureblood.

(1) Don’t know how one would RP one as a player character
(2) How were they published?!

* Poison Immunity
* Magic Resistance!!! (You have advantage on all saving throws against spells and other magical effects.)
* Poison Spray Cantrip
* Darkvision
* +2 Cha +1 Int

Is there any race as powerful as that?

Yep, they are crazy. I think all the Volo's monster races are a bit up there. In AL they get restricted by faction.

...looking it up just now Yuan-ti are Lord's Alliance for whatever f'ing crazy reason.

I'd like to play in a monster race 5e adventure sometime. I like the bugbear a lot.

Just a little note, waiting on Ken but is everyone else 100% ready? I'm eager to start, first day of summer vacay tomorrow :D

Ready. :)

And I’ve resisted changing my character seven times during the wait, so I’m proud of myself.

Ken here. Sorry for holding things up! He's about 80% done and I should be able to get the rest finished first thing in the morning. Formatting it all pretty might be later in the day, but will be soon, too.

Thanks, all I need for running the game is your ability scores, saves, skill profs, and tool profs. It would probably be nice to have your magic items choices as well.

In fact, maybe this time you guys could fill in my cheat sheet for me. Slide 3 has it. Go there and enter your stuff if you dont mind, and Ill know you are ready.

Sorry...still mulling over magic item purchases...will try to get it done in the next day or so.

Ready

Just need to spend my gold.

Also, I decided to go with a Robe of Useful Items, which has some aspects to be determined. Do you want to decide as DM, or should I roll?

Cool, roll it unless you don't have time, then I can roll.

How many extra patches: 4d4 ⇒ (2, 2, 4, 1) = 9 Nice!

Then edit for what the patches are...

Patch: 1d100 ⇒ 73 Rowboat (12 feet long)
Patch: 1d100 ⇒ 95 Window
Patch: 1d100 ⇒ 61 Potion of healing (4)
Patch: 1d100 ⇒ 28 10 gems worth 100 gp each
Patch: 1d100 ⇒ 41 Wooden ladder (24 feet long)
Patch: 1d100 ⇒ 6 Bag of 100 gp
Patch: 1d100 ⇒ 8 Bag of 100 gp
Patch: 1d100 ⇒ 95 Window
Patch: 1d100 ⇒ 15 Silver coffer (1 foot long, 6 inches wide and deep) worth 500 gp

I believe that's right. Gotta run to lunch but will double check afterwards. Looks fun!

In fact, maybe this time you guys could fill in my cheat sheet for me. Slide 3 has it. Go there and enter your stuff if you dont mind, and Ill know you are ready.

I didn’t list all the potions I bought (mostly various healing), is that fine? Otherwise, all set! Just gotta get around to cleaning up my sheet to make it more usable for me.

Thanks, that will be a great help. And yes, just the major ones to keep in mind is what I wanted there.

So...

Godric=Ready
Urth=Ready
Narnel= ??? looks ready
Molok=Deciding on magic
Lyraath=polishing personal char sheet

just a quick magic question...Molok already has a +1 maul..does that count against his point total or not??

Good question, yes.

Darn...ok then that is 8 of my 16 points used. So I might pick up a necklace of adaptation as my 1 item (8 points)

or

Is it possible to get a +1 flaming maul?? Get rid of my +1 maul so I have the full 16 TP...the Flametongue is 10 tp, and that would leave me 6 tp.

Sure, I was sort of thinking you would redo inventory anyways. These TP rules are more generous than SKT has been. Its supposed to be a sword of some kind but whatever, guess it doesn't matter for this run.

Flame tongue is not enchanted with any to-hit, however. Also, to have both the +1 property and flame tongue would be 18 tp (prohibited).

So, sort of looking like either +1 or flame. Don't be too sad though, I guarantee you will find a delightful bashing thing somewheres.

LOL...well then I will keep my +1 maul and will pick up the amulet of adaptation.
That will do it for Molok!!

Sounds like we have a party :)

Ok...testing out build. Seeing if I have all of the parts down.

Godric faces warrior X. Warrior X has Plate and a greatsword, so AC18.

(1) Godric uses bonus Action hexblade curse. Usable 1/short rest. +3 damage, 19-20 crit, heals 5hp if he kills warrior.
(2) Attack 2x

Hit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Hit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

First one is a crit. 2d8 longsword damage. Smite, using warlock slot, recharged 1/short rest, for +2d8 radiant. Also using paladin lvl2 spell slot on non crit for +3d8 damage with second hit.

Crit: 2d8 + 2d8 + 9 ⇒ (8, 4) + (2, 2) + 9 = 25
Normal: 1d8 + 3d8 + 9 ⇒ (2) + (8, 3, 6) + 9 = 28

53 damage done. Used up his hex, Warlock slot, and 1 lvl2 paladin slot. Will require a short rest to keep that up.

——

So, in short....he can try to nova enemies, but only if he can safely catch his breath.

I suppose Ill allow breathing.

Alright, have a little work related thing today (just when I think I'm out they pull me back in) but will get first gameplay post up in the next 12 hours.

Gameplay is live!

Godric have you looked at Tome of Foes? There's a pretty big section on Raven Queen in there.

No, I haven’t. Only the wiki pages. I’ll see if I can get my hands on it

Godric, sorry if this is on your sheet somewhere but couldn't find it. Are you taking the warlock or paladin saving throw proficiencies?

Paladin, though I believe both have wisdom/charisma

Oh dur, its the same saves for both classes. Nevermind.

I'm starting a week long business trip today returning Saturday. My posting will be irregular and opportunistic. Please bot me as necessary.

thanks

Sorry, I was visiting family over the holiday weekend and my internet connection was worse than I thought it would be. Catching up and will post tonight or in the morning.
