@Vertigo Never said they were warriors, did I? ;D

Ayo boyo. Some familiar faces here. I’d be down to clown, with a question in regards to characters we can make. Here’s a quick rundown of my first character:

Winged Tieflings allowed?
Hexblade Allow?
UA Spells allowed? I may also be taking a UA Sorcerer Archtype.
How shall we determine starting gear? This character is going to be a hexblade warlock, so I was wondering if I could start with a battleaxe.

Second idea is... Weirder. Bare with me.
Orcs allowed? If so do they still have to have the -2 Int penalty?
Do you allow UA fighting styles? I am specifically thinking Tunnel Fighter.
For SCAG cantrips like Booming Blade and Green Flame Blade, can their range be weapon reach or strictly only within 5-feet? For example could I hit an enemy with a booming blade from 10-feet away using a glaive’s reach.

@Lucius Cypher Hello there.

Let me start by saying that UA is not allowed.

Hmm... well, while I'm not opposed to the idea of a winged tiefling, there is the standard ol' thing of 'unlimited fly speed at early levels' especially since there may be a few characters who want to fly themselves. However, the winged tiefling is a valid option in most cases (and I'd love to see what comes of the aasimar-tiefling interaction. You are, after all, opposites. And I am a sucker for those dynamics). Maybe replace the 5th level darkness with the fly spell? Let's talk about it. I might just decide not to make changes anyway.

Hexblade is allowed - but it's got to stay relatively within the canon. We're playing in the Forgotten Realms, so your patron will be a Shadowfell entity. What their pact is with you? We'll talk. For gear, I guess there's no harm in letting you start with an axe - this will cost you the default light crossbow. Presuming you take Pact of the Blade, you'd get it at third level free of charge anyway.

I do allow monster races, and yes, the orc will have the intelligence penalty. If the spell specifies that a melee weapon attack must be made against the target, then yes, reach will apply for the purposes of determining the first target - you could not cast flame blade on someone ten feet away from your original target.

Hmm hmm hmm, this gives me options. I know you’re looking for a tank and as much as I wanna roll another barbarian, I think I’ll try my hand at warlock. I’ll PM you the details so we can work out patrons and such.

Looks like I won't be the only monster here!

Yeah I noticed. A kobold in a Dragon Queen campaign? That’s risky! I like it.

@Lucius Cypher@Tangletail Let it not be said that I restrict my players too harshly ;P

Naturally, if that would be said, I shall make my point as bluntly and as powerful as a fifth level Crit Smite from a paladin’s vicious maul.

Not just any kobold. A fashionable and honor bound kobold.

@Tangletail @Vertigo @Eleven Any of you got a post planned, or should I move on?

@Tangletail @Vertigo @Eleven Any of you got a post planned, or should I move on?

I was the last one to post. I'm ready to move on.

I'll be catching up later this week hopefully, so yeah, I'm fine with moving on and playing catch up!

@Tangletail@Vertigo@Eleven Since I'm assuming that you're all going to say yes, please could each of you roll a stealth check.

Cassandra - 21
Sebastian - 9
Surina, Tarya and Artus - 16
Magdar, Linan and Cuth - 4
Rhaeyla - 11
Caw - 18
Vaal - 5

@CollectorOfMyst 11 for me!

18 here!

Ooof... A 5 for Vaal

I'll be getting a catch up post up for this tomorrow! Sorry the wait.

Up up. Too many ups.

I'll be posting tomorrow.

@Tangletail@Vertigo@Eleven I will say, there should be a brief bit of collaboration on your guys' part. It'll be your choice whether or not you guys engage the enemy, and how you'll go about doing this.

There's another thing I want to bring up, and that's a Discord server. @Lucius Cypher@The Harbinger of Ferocity, you two can weigh in, too. It can be trying, at times, especially since we've fallen into a slow, but comfortable pace. It would mean I'd be more easily reachable, and it would help with inter-party dynamics if you guys can discuss things like that. It would be text only, but the majority of the IC would remain on here.

I don’t mind a discord server, you already know I’m pretty active there.
