I think Najila’s Character Sheet is ready for your perusal! I applied the two additional points from the Int mod into Acrobatics and Investigation, one point in each skill.

@Expolar

That idea for Faerguaine sounds good. I've had a thought though. Perhaps the dragon has found a magic spell that increases its physical power far beyond that of other dragons its age. Pairing that unparalleled might with his sharp mind and powerful magic, Faerguaine would be a daunting challenge to say the least. Fortunately, that Aimon fellow you mentioned knows a way to break the spell, allowing a fight with the beast in its true, physically weakened state.

Also, I have completed the necessary changes to Angus' CS. You will find a picture of him in the persona tab.

So far I'm enjoying these fusion of ideas. I do feel trying to reach out and find Aimon for some answers that can help weaken Faerguaine would be nice to build to that eventual confrontation than just speed running to the lair and possibly either nearly or certainly dying. But from how you described the past MacAlister that tried confronting Faerguaine, its very much likely, like many before, were captured or perished beneath its cunning and magic. But this time, news from a surviving party member of a MacAlister of Faerguaine's physical power being increased would be a good way to seek out Aimon, the last living party member that once journeyed with Fergus.

Also another piece of information that was on my mind about Faerguaine was its fascination with the idea of creation in the magic, physical and social aspect. This would help add to Faerguaine eventual achievement to become stronger through a magic spell. Another aspect of this interest is that after generations of MacAlister's have failed, the dragon has sowed doubt in the name of Clan MacAlister by spreading false information and degrading their stories of achievement. Previous generations of MacAlisters would find people questions the skill of their people, and although most have shown and proven of their skills, they would still be defeated by Faerguaine and the people once again question Clan MacAlister.

Your thoughts?

Update:

Once I finish a summary of the world's history and brief information of each major region, then I will create the OOC. Once the OOC is created, I may give it a few days to see if anyone else becomes interested. But if enough time passes, then we can start in the IC.

Also thanks for finishing the character sheets so fast and providing an image.

@Guardian Angel Haruki
This is more of flavor than mechanic. But instead of the grimoire/tome being called "Book of Shadows", how about we call it "Book of Clouds" as it may appear by materializing from clouds, floating on them, and faint puffs of clouds emit from it. I feel the Shadows theme of secret knowledge hidden with in can still transfer over okay for the Clouds as can still blur or general obscure information that may be hidden within/behind it. Your thoughts?

@Expolar That sounds perfect! I’m definitely gonna go with “Book of Clouds” for her tome.
Since one of her spells in the Book of Clouds is Find Familiar, would Najila already have her familiar summoned?
I was thinking her familiar might be an owl in keeping with the Air and Knowledge themes.

Sure that is fine as I would imagine that the characters would have more than enough time to have knowledge to use their class abilities and spells as they are 3rd level.

@Expolar Cool!

Out of curiosity, how often would Ralim contact Nalija while she’s on the Prime Material Plane? And how would he talk to her (Dreams, In person, etc.)?

Ralim would communication would vary. Initially he was more frequent asking ready to return with any stories or interesting items, but after Najila got a better hold of herself in the material plane, Ralim would likely get the hint that he may be asking too much. It would perhaps be at this that point that he bestows to her the Book of Clouds where there exists a divider where she can write how her travels in the material plane is going, which would satisfy him. But he may reach out around every other week to ask her of something. These things simply being a simple question or some assistance with something somewhere.

For how he communicates, it would be through the Books of Clouds. Just like how Najila can send stories of her travels, he can send her of things mentioned in the previous paragraph. She would know of when he sent such message when the nice sky blue thin divider fabric bowels on its own.

@Expolar I am a 100% still iterested! Thank you so much for the links! They were beyond helpful! Thanks to you I was able to piece together a more or less completed cs with relatively little hassle. https://dicecloud.com/character/MsY9YGyFt9vphQ8ij/Aron I just need to figure out how to add the dueling bonus to his attack and decide on an image and I should be done.

Speaking of images, so far this is the closest one I could find to how I picture Aron, but the outfit is a bit off... Are we allowed to just use a headshot or are full-bodied pics mandatory?

@Expolar

I like most of those ideas. But rather than having their strength and skill being called into question, perhaps instead it could be the wisdom and intelligence of Clan MacAlister having doubt cast on it. They prove their strength and skill often enough for that to not be questioned, so I think the dragon would have an easier time convincing people that they are a clan of bumbling brutes who charge headlong into the dragon's lair without a single thought for strategy and get soundly thrashed.

Also, if you want any help coming up with something to say about Dachaigh, I'd be happy to lend a hand.

@Vixen58
For the dueling bonus from the fighting style, make sure to add the +2 bonus to damage roll, not the attack roll. But adding a +2 to the damage field should be enough, just note that the attack also has dueling that adds extra damage.

But currently I am unable to see that character sheet as it says "It might not exist, or you might not have permission to view it." By any chance @rush99999, are you familiar with this and know how to resolve it so we can view the character sheet?

I will probably find out the subclass that you chose once I am able to view the character sheet, but still, what made you decide to choose that subclass for Aron?

@rush99999
Having Faerguaine make the people question the reputation of Clan MacAlister's wisdom and intelligence is still fine with me. About the brief summary of Dachaigh, sure. As mentioned before, I'm still working on the world and still open to ideas. So if you have any more ideas Dachaigh, then please let me know.

@Vixen58
To make your CS visible to anyone, click the 3 dots on the top right of the screen, hit the share button, and switch the 'who can view this character' setting to 'anyone with link'.

@Expolar

Here are some ideas for Dachaigh.

The Highlanders of Dachaigh live together in clans. The five most prominent of which being Clan MacAlister, Clan MacManus, Clan MacTavish, Clan MacLeod, and Clan MacDonald.

Clan MacDonald used to rule all of Dachaigh. But after the Reign of the Mad Laird, Clan MacDonald split into the smaller clans that can be found across the Highlands today, all of which are now ruled by chieftains after the Highlanders of Dachaigh swore never again to allow anyone that title.

Small scale skirmishes and one-on-one duels are commonplace among the clans of Dachaigh, but all out war is totally nonexistent. Old Greta and her warlock servants enforce relative peace across the land. This is due to an ancient agreement between the Great Old One and the Highlands of Dachaigh, the terms of which being that Old Greta and her servants maintain a level of peace and stability in exchange for the Highlanders' protection and occasional service.

During the first month of Summer every year, the clans of Dachaigh come together to play the Games, a month long tournament featuring contests of every skill a man can learn. The clan that wins the most contests is receive a highly coveted prize that is different every year.

Initially he was more frequent asking ready to return with any stories or interesting items, but after Najila got a better hold of herself in the material plane, Ralim would likely get the hint that he may be asking too much.

Very cool!
I can see him writing comments and questions as she writes out what happened during her adventures. XD

@rush99999 Thank you for the tip! I appreciate it!

@Expolar I am so sorry for the faulty link! https://dicecloud.com/character/MsY9YGyFt9vphQ8ij/Aron It should work now. And thanks for the advice! I'll go back and try it!

For Aron's subclass, I decided to go with Banneret after much deliberation. I had to eliminate the shooters since Aron just doesn't seem like the ranged-weapon type, and I couldn't really go with the more mount-centered classes since Aron doesn't have one at this time and because he has a slight phobia of horses. Unfortunately, I had to cross out the subclasses that involved magic as well as a lengthy study period, because he wouldn't really have had a chance to study them, so it wouldn't have made sense story-wise. That left me with four viable options, Brute, Champion, Battle Master and Banneret. While I really liked the Battle Master subclass, it just didn't feel right for Aron... I had to eliminate the Brute and Champion as well, though it was a close call. Aron might take training seriously and everything, but for him the end goal has never been his own physical prowess, but to be able to have an adventure, have his own stories to tell, just like the ones his guardian always told him. Furthermore, he is a friendly and outgoing individual - if a bit prone to mischief at times - and was always the leader of his childhood group of friends when it came to games or just stirring up the neighborhood. While he isn't the type to make long inspiring speeches, he is sincere and won't sit back during a troublesome situation, but will stand up for what he believes is right, even if it means leading the charge. Which is why I chose Banneret, it just seems to fit him the most.

Also, after a lot of searching, I found a picture that is as close to how I imagine Aron as I could get. As for the outfit, lets just say that's how his regular traveling clothes look without chainmail.

I'm still okay with an additional player jumping in with a character. And just when I thought the party was going to be all human. For my experience when playing D&D, having a human in a party is a rare sight for me. But if you can, start with the brief character sheet in the first post and place it here, than you can start filling out the character sheet as I think of questions about the chracter.

@Vixen58
Okay sounds good, if anything, I was glad that you chose fighter as your character's class as its a good one to start with if someone is new to D&D 5e. Also Banneret seems cool as while you attack, you can use your ability to support your party members. which go well with how you described Aron.

As a reminder that when wearing chain mail armor, you will always have disadvantage with stealth rolls. This is the same for padded, scale mail, half plate, ring mail, splint, and plate armor. Also where did you make the rolls for Aron's ability scores? I would prefer rolls on the site's dice roller, but if you can show me where you rolled them with a time stamp, that would be fine. And again, you can roll 2 sets of 6 4d6s and choose one of those sets.

@Expolar
Thanks! I'm glad that you approve! I made the rolls using https://gc3.github.io/taters/dnd5e/ability_score_roller.html this roller I found online. I don't think it uses a time stamp, but I'm fine with re-rolling if you want me to.

@Vixen58
I would like the re-rolling so I can see them, sorry that I didn't specify that the rolls should be on this site. Thanks for understanding.

@Expolar
It's fine, I finished the rolls and updated my sheet.
Decided to go with the second set https://www.roleplayerguild.com/campaigns/715
