Still working on a character. I'll have more time to work on things on the weekend, but I'll post updates when I can.
I am still not sure. Assassin seems fun. Any rec9mmendations?

I am partial to Mastermind, but that is my style. I like being able to offer the Help action at range as a bonus action. ;) I love the flavor of the Inquisitive, and it is hard to argue with the Swashbuckler (allowing you to use your Sneak Attack when fighting one-on-one). Go with your heart...
@Dreaming, no worries! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

You have time. Just get it in by the end of the weekend.

I’m with Aesh, it depends on the flavor you’re looking for. Being amthat a lot of this will be outdoors, you might consider the scout rogue. The mastermind is fantastic for helping others and social situations. Assassin is hands down going to do the most damage situationally but could lend itself to a darker concept as well or not (shrug) it comes down to what you imagine for the character.
I'm afraid I have to tap out. One game which I thought was going to die continued anyway, and between baldur's gate 3 early access and the PC version of Wrath of the Righteous I'm afraid I won't have the time to finish it. Good luck everyone!Okay, maybe we will see you next time!
I am a little confused. Is it Aeshuura or Greycastle that is running the game and the recruitment? Or perhaps you guys are running it together?

Haha, understandable. We are tag teaming this season. Grey is running this one, and I may run the next one, or perhaps a chapter of the HC.
That makes sense. Thanks!
I had an eladrin rogue/archfey arcane trickster in a Mad Mage game. He was really fun. Where are those subclasses?
I will have to take a look. Are we doing the actual module or the scenarios for the season?
Here is Aesh' Character!

For the DM's ease, can you put the link for your DDB character sheet in your profile?
If you put [ url= http... ]DDB Character Sheet [ /url ] in your Race or Class line, it will show up as a subtitle under your name once we start gameplay. It will make quick references easier, in case you need to be 'botted' or if the DM is going to do initiative rolls for everyone.
^_^
Rodalas, what is his backstory? If you want to play it close to the chest and reveal through gameplay, it's fine. Just curious... ^_^
I am late on this one you all look full.
Turq brings up a good point. We’re getting close to the character cutoff. Those of you with characters already made and posted, what are your back stories? Also, please add the basic information onto the appropriate stat line so that is visible in chat channel.

I am late on this one you all look full.
Currently we have applicants but deadline is Sunday night. Up to you if you want to put in a submission. We’re taking up to 7 players. I will select them based on order in which the first posted and have characters posted by the deadline.
Dreaming Warforged here with my 'Old Man and the Sea.' I've done my best to build the concept around a bard instead of a cleric, though both could work if needed.
Turq's story:
Left as a babe at the door of Kelvin’s Comfort, you were raised for a while in Bryn Shander's premier tavern. There you learned about spirits, beers, and ales; what regions produced the best, the trade of drink.
You made many a trip to Kelvin's Cairn, the home of the Battlehammer clan. As you showed interest in the art of crafting the brew, a skill that your adopted father did not possess, he left you in their care. You learned from the Battlehammer brewmasters, earning the surname Barreltap, a name bestowed upon orphaned children gifted with an affinity for the brewer's touch.
You trained with the beardlings, learning dwarvish tactics and weapons drills. You have bled alongside Stokley's Boys, defending their home. You are forever known as dwarf-friend.
After three years traveling the Sword Coast, you are returning with the secrets of crafting all different kinds of brews...
An earnest, patriotic youth, Baldrick joined the military as soon as he could. The infantry was a good fit for him - it gave him structure and purpose, but, most importantly, someone was always telling him what to do. Baldrick liked following orders - things never seemed to quite work out when he did them on his own.
On a scouting mission, Baldrick's squad was attacked. Or... maybe there was an explosion? An experiment in magic gone wrong? Baldrick's still not sure. What he does know is that, when he regained consciousness, there was nothing around him but shattered bodies and pieces of crystal that pulsed with a faint orange light.
His superiors were unsympathetic and thought Baldrick knew more than he was saying. Frustrated with his unwavering testimony, an officer shouted that Baldrick had better come up with some answers, or else. Baldrick took this to mean that he should find out what happened on his own, so he left. Hoping to learn more about what happened to his companions, to learn more about himself and the world, Baldrick travels haphazardly, taking on mercenary jobs when he can.
Since the incident, Baldrick is uneasy around magic, believing it to be at the root of what happened. Nevertheless, he carries a piece of that crystal on a chain around his neck, as both reminder and good-luck charm.

Woo hoo dwarf fighter online. Just a red-headed dwarf, his axe, and his dog Nick.
(This is Nefaerieous, aka wifey)
By the way, for reference. 'Stokley's Boys' is a reference to the Legacy of the Crystal Shard, a module that came out during the D&D Next playtest leading up to 5e.
Stokley Silverstream was one of two leaders of the Battlehammer dwarves, and his faction was affectionately known as 'Stokley's Boys'.
Umikh /oo'-mick/ will tell you he comes from a line of talented metal smiths, hailing from east of Baldur's Gate. He'll point to the head of his battleaxe, and tell you that Elga was forged by his great grandmother, and it is a fine if aged axe. Umikh will tell you the story of how he and his cousins fire walked for dares and to show off, after they figured out how to keep the coals just the right temperature. He points to a metal band around his wrist, says the first sword he ever forged was so terrible it became this bit of scrap, and a good lesson. If there is a fine hot meal in front of him, he might mention their leaner days not so long ago, and how grateful he is for such a fine feast. Being from the Far Hills, times haven't been too good. He'll say that the Zhentarim pressured his family to produce inferior goods, that they wanted their fine metal works and weapons to be crap. That he stood up to them, refusing to do so, but then left to keep his family safe. And almost all of that is true.
He is a quiet fellow, but if you get him talking he can be chatty and merry. Umikh is accompanied by Nick, a large brown and black dog with a crooked tail, a sweet disposition and a great hunting instinct. Umikh has a good rapport with animals of all types, enjoys observing what they do but mostly leaves animals, and people, to their own devices.
'Mik, if you are daring enough to try this nickname out, is hoping to learn new and interesting metal working techniques, and hopefully find some new material to boost his family trade.
What martial archetype is Mikh planning to go into?

Story
Emmett grew up the second son of Caer-Dal's chieftain, Dariux Escheus, and following the tradition, was raised to become one of the keepers of the ways of Caer-Dal. For years, he served, taking a small leadership role alongside his older brother Falko, now chieftain, acting as judge and skald, as well as helping the village improve its fishing trade.
Now the elder of Caer-Dal, after countless winters of service, he is retiring, happy and fulfilled, looking forward to a chance to relax, rest, and spend more time with his grandchildren and leave his role to his eldest son.
But the fates have other plans for the Old Man of Caer-Dal...
What martial archetype is Mikh planning to go into?
Unsure, figured I'd play him through level 1 and then decide.
Fair enough. ^_^

Can you imagine Rodalas being the royal assassin for the Winter Court? That would be a great concept for Assassin...
That is what I am partial to right now. They Winter Fey don't like what is going on.
I am glaf that this is Drizz't-less.

I'd be in for a shot.
