Bard rolls to seduce dragon? Dragon sits on bard? Did the bard fail the roll, it depends on who you ask ;D

xD

1. How...heroic our characters will be pre-IC? Can they already be established heroes in whatever land they come from or are they fully new adventurers that just started their career?

2. What level will our characters start from?

3. Optional question if you can explain here. Can you expand a bit more on combat/stats? If you're gonna explain that in OCC, kindly ignore me.

1. They will be fairly unknown to start. These rumors will have been from one heroic feat your character pulled off, which traveled from wherever your origin is to a certain noble's ear and picks up interest enough to sponsor a group through the adventure guild's trials. Details on that will come with the OOC. For various feats of strength, they can be discussed with me but you can do anything worth recruiting. Maybe you're the strongest swimmer in the region and can swim upstream with the trout without assistance. Maybe you can pull more wagon weight than an ox. Perhaps you fought off a troll from bumbling about your village. Possibilities are endless with your creativity.

2. This will be a fresh lvl 1 start. So fighting off a vampire lord is pretty unlikely, but the rumor is completely up to you within reason. Characters created in dndbeyond may get preference, as it is fully free to take advantage of the base content.

3. Stats will be those used in D&D5e character creation. Skill checks will be as normal, where I set a DC to see if you accomplish certain difficult tasks. To save on time, combat will be run a little differently but in the spirit of D&D5e. I'm considering using google docs for combat to make it all flow together as a collab.

@Dragonfly 9 Bards definitely have a musical place in this world, whether their experience is purely that of an adventurer or one of the Artists' Colleges. Also, you don't seduce dragons. Dragons seduce you. ;)

I'll be interested, but looks like there's a lot of interest; will there be a submission deadline when the OOC goes up?

Considering the amount of interest, I'm gonna have to set a deadline. I'm thinking about a week after OOC goes up. To give everyone a fair shake, I won't accept CSes until close to the deadline. Keep that in mind, no need to rush anything out as this is not first-come first-serve.

That being said, everyone, I will work on the OOC and try to get it up Sunday. I want it to have as much information as you all ask for, so I appreciate your patience and interest!

EDIT to #2 answer. I'm still gonna prioritize how well a character is thought through, but in the event of several characters about the same quality, I may choose one that has dndbeyond character sheet because that's where I run my campaigns.

You know what's hilarious? I had no idea someone already said they were going to be bard'n wit the bois.

Aight!

One question I have, and I apologize if you answered this but I either don't see it or I missed it, but I know you said any race in DnD5e is available, if we are using DnDBeyond to create our character, what books are available for use? Only the corebook?

All official content. No homebrew. That's virtually every book afaik. Also every official class/subclass. That does mean no Critical Role classes (Gunslinger + Blood Hunter).

@Lucky Gotcha. That opens some things up for me. Always been a fan of the magical classes, so I am probably going that route. Thinking a Tiefling Warlock as I've never played either before. We will see. Thanks!

I said no Gunslingers, not no firearms. Firearms are official content and uncommon in my setting, but available with money, training, and certain know-how.

Does anyone know how to access all the content on DnD Beyond? I'm trying to make my character, but I seem to be limited to only the 5e Corebook for options. It's not vital, I can make do, just want to make sure I am doing it all correctly.

Only ways to have access to every book is to either buy them through dndbeyond or be in a campaign who is sharing the content. I could do that, open up a campaign that anyone interested can access and share what I own.

Oh neat.

@Lucky Don't feel obligated! I can make do scouring the books online or using Wikipedia or something.

@PatientBean The DND wiki dot has a bunch of Open source DnD content btw.

@Dark Cloud Lol I literally just typed that XD

I dun' ninja'd ya.

@Lucky Query: I am unfamiliar with Eiden lands & it's world, do I need extensive knowledge or base knowledge? And is there a different pantheon of gods? Or can I be OG as fuck and worship St. Cuthbert like a Greyhawk chad? getit? Greyhawk is the original dnd world setting...Funni?

Extensive knowledge is not required. As big as this world is, everyone can have a suitable origin to their liking as long as it's cleared/discussed with me first, of course. I answered earlier in the thread that I don't have a set pantheon, as it's sort of multiversal. If you want St. Cuthbert, you are fully in your means to do so. I will have some of my own gods tucked away that have very specific requirements to know about/follow.

Also, for everyone's convenience, I present my dndbeyond campaign link: ddb.ac/campaigns/join/30965392249821039
