@XxFellsingxX

lemme walk you through it then, I knew some small headaches would pop up with the behemoth natural weapons, I'd rather they have come up early than later.

I'm just gonna remove the reaction, I forgot how many of the fighting styles were reaction oriented when I made it that way. That's just something I'm gonna #Patch_Note right now; if a behemoth makes a shield, they just get the +2 AC like everyone else.

With that cleared up, here's how the Natural Weapons work (I'm gonna try to simplify my own dense wording here);

You get two 'slots' for a weapon. These slots aren't anywhere physical on your body, they're purely a mechanical 'slot'.

You can't make a Ranged weapon that isn't Thrown. (No Crossbow, yes dart/javelin/dagger/spear etc; ammo functionally unlimited.)

If you make a Heavy/Two Handed weapon (Such as a Greatsword or Maul) it takes both slots.

You may make a shield in one of those slots.

So your 'legal' pairs are...

Two-Handed/Heavy Weapon (Which could be any kind of flavor you want, bladed forelimbs was just an example; it could be a Monstrous Bite, a serrated tail, 'my whole body', whatever you want). This is a Pike, Greatsword, Maul, Halberd, etc.

One handed Weapon + Shield/Other One Handed Weapon. This is where you could do, say, 2x Scimitars, or 2x Longswords, or a Sword+shield, or a Flail+Javelin, or whatever else- just flavored as different natural weapons on your body.

your natural weapons would count as the relevant weapon for the purposes of any given fighting style. If you choose Interception, it would work with any combination of natural weapons conceivable because you just need to have a shield OR any kind of weapon to do it; if you did Protection, you'd need to use 'Shield' as one of your 'Slots', then you could use any other one handed weapon in the other 'slot'.

If you wanted to use a greatsword or a maul or something, then great weapon fighter would work as a fighting style for you; if you wanted to focus on being a javelin tank, Archery would work; etc etc.

If this isn't helpful to you let me know, I tried to keep the Behemoth clear, but this is why I wanted to test this stuff out on the forum! :)

@Guardian Angel Haruki

As for yours, I think my 4 AM assessment was correct; I don't think I see anything mechanically unsound with it. Amaryllis is fine, when I get some finalized world info done I'll hit you up about the hermit discovery.

Decided to go 'simple' with my Languages thing, listed here are the native tongues of the races of Aesithas.



This will be added to Post 0.

@XxFellsingxX Yo, patience hasn't even been hit yet; you said you're newish, and I'm changing the foundation of the game on you, you're doing great. Your AC would be 18 with the heavy armor + shield, and your dex saving throw seems to be too high; I think you added proficiency to it instead of your Wisdom saving throw. Otherwise, seems solid.

@karamonnom I mean, in a broad sense it makes sense that an artisan could craft things. I'm open to rereading the Downtime Crafting rules from Xanathar's guide, if you're fine with hunting down materials being less an issue of gold and more an issue of Questing and Adventure :)

That's fine with me. I've just been struggling to find a background that I want to be honest.

If that's the problem you're having feel free to come back to the background after I set the initial groundwork, or discuss your character ideas with the room :) We're all here to have a good time. @karamonnom

@karamonnom Unarmored Movement would benefit your Fly speed too! It does not specify Walk speed! The exception is something that sets a static speed stat such as the Fly spell, but since your fly speed is innate it also gets boosted! Enjoy a fly speed of 50 that will just keep getting faster!

Please specify your kensei weapons for me. :)

The Fading of the Old Nimbus racial flaw is one less HP per level, so you’d have two less hit points one more hit point, assuming you took average. +1 con/-1 Flaw; 8+5+5 = 18 from class hit dice with your net +0.

Otherwise seems good to me.

@Fading Memory I do have a question regarding Druidic as a language.

If Wooden Ones have little need for the written word, how would leaving messages in Druidic work?

Druidic is special, of course. Likely they are a unique role among Wooden One society like a priest or a noble; Aratea, known as a princess, was a druid for example. They would be more in tune with the Everbloom and more likely to be a heroic/guiding figure in their society.

Thank you! And I'm thinking of making my Kensei weapons the Wakizashi (short sword) and a short bow.

For those lurking or who have missed the OOC link above, Exit has let me know that they need to bow out and rescind their interest; the Kin of Du’Eld slot is available once more.
