You missed me. I have played with or spoken with many of you on these boards, but I have been away for abiut a year, and am trying to get back into PBP. Would love to get in on this 5e. What little 5e I have played, I have really liked.
Wondering monster, I don't have all the books yet so I have no knowledge of the lich other than it appears, I've seen the feat chain and in fact already mentioned it in case anybody was interested.
Ego, thanks. Just needed to know.
I only know that there is an option to become a lich in a later book. I have never gotten to play Way of the Wicked. I have submitted to it a few times but never gotten picked for a game.
I do wish you would open up more classes. I have a few ideas but they keep ending up not working without either they Hybrid classes or the Occult classes.
How is that show? Heard vague things about it being good. Considered watching it a while now. Wanted to start tonight due to this campaign. Should I?
I really enjoy it. I know I have heard some real life historians say that it is actually really close to accurate, with some givens. Obvious no TV show is going to be perfect. Its a fun show.
You guys need to understand that the marvel movies and comics are way off from norse mythology. Especially as far as Loki is concerned but a great deal to Thur as well.
GM: Are enchantment spells ok? The bard spell list for example has a lot of stuff like hold person, Hideous laughter, and so forth. Are those spells still ok?
Since mesmerist is off the table, I am looking at maybe making him a Paladin/Skald of Loki. If that doesn't work, maybe Warpriest/Inquisitor. I am trying to keep the MAD down.
Hmm, could be a good game for a lawful skald, which is something I've wanted to try (and would work with other generally viking rage in the party).
@Wondering: Loki is *definitely* not a lawful good god, so I'm not sure how well it would work with Paladin.
I was planning to play him, loyal to my village to a fault, and good as my village is concerned, but a trickster in battle. Something along those lines. Lawful Good can mean a lot of things. Not just lawful stupid, as most paladins are. As long as a only kill justly and follow the viking code, then I am good to go.
This is the class that I had in mind. It uses the magic contained in items. Would you allow it and if so how would that work out? Or is everyone just supposed to play a fighter, or rogue?
Is the occult adventure classes allowed? I was thinking the Occultist might fit in with what you are doing here. Though I am not sure how you would work in the magic and when. Please elaborate.
I was sorta working up an Antipaladin when I realized everything we fight down there is going to be evil, so my ability to smite good is a waste. So that sucks.

Looks:
Considered on the shorter end for Elves, Daeron prefers to keep his dark brown hair shoulder length in a manageable loose tie. Having a minimal whitish sclera typical of his race, his large black eyes is often expressive, especially when trying to recall a past memory or while concentrating. Usually a bow is slung across his back while his travelling stick is kept close at hand, either as support or to prod the underbrush while walking through the woods. Often garbed in clothing descriptive of a scholar, Daeron sometimes is seen in more form fitting clothes especially during archery practice.

TRAITS
* Magical Lineage (Magic Missile)[Paizo Publishing LLC - Advanced Player's Guide, p.329]
One of your parents was a gifted spellcaster who not only used metamagic often, but developed many magical items and perhaps even a new spell or two--and you have inherited a fragment of this greatness. When you apply metamagic feats to Magic Missile, treat its actual level as 1 lower for determining the spell's final adjusted level.
* Warrior of Old [Paizo Publishing LLC - Advanced Player's Guide, p.331]
As a child, you put in long hours in combat drills, and though time has made this training a dim memory, you still have a knack for quickly responding to trouble.

Hailing from the elven nation of Kyonin, Daeron was born as a middling child from the union of talented battlemages, who was also known for its large number of offspring. As tradition, the family pressed their children in the arcane arts. Unfortunately for Daeron, his sibling all possessed some degree magical talent inherited from their parents. Unable to shine, Daeron decided to travel, seeking knowledge and experience which he hopes would give him an edge. Little known to him was the latent magical talent within him that just needed the right touch of experience to burst out.
Motivation:
Daeron currently is focused on seeking new spells and sources of arcane power. Hearing of an expedition to the forgotten mines, he hopes that some forgotten spells may reside within, if not else for the experience it may bring.

Communication Empathic Link,
Special Qualities Empathic Link, Share Spells, Deliver Touch Spells
SPECIAL ABILITIES
* Empathic Link (Su) The master has an empathic link with his familiar to a 1 mile distance. The master can communicate emphatically with the familiar, but cannot see through its eyes. Because of the link's limited nature, only general emotions can be shared. The master has the same connection to an item or place that his familiar does.
* Improved Evasion (Ex) You can avoid damage from many area-effect attacks. If you make a successful Reflex save against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, you instead take no damage, and even on a failed saving throw you take only half damage. If you are helpless, you do not gain the benefit of improved evasion.
* Share Spells (Ex) The master may cast a spell with a target of "You" on her animal companion (as a spell with a range of touch) instead of on herself. A master may cast spells on her animal companion even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the companion's type (animal). Spells cast in this way must come from a class that grants an animal companion. This ability does not allow the animal to share abilities that are not spells, even if they function like spells.
* Deliver Touch Spells (Su): If the master is 3rd level or higher, a familiar can deliver touch spells for him. If the master and the familiar are in contact at the time the master casts a touch spell, he can designate his familiar as the “toucher.” The familiar can then deliver the touch spell just as the master would. As usual, if the master casts another spell before the touch is delivered, the touch spell dissipates.
