[OOC] DnD 5e - Beginner's Game

[Ermine]

I mean, if anyone wants to try this out, it's a cool thing: Witch Hunter, another of Matt Mercer's (many) classes. I know the majority already have their characters, but some could be reworked easily enough...

[JBRam2002]

@ErmineI had a friend run a Witch Hunter while I GM'd. So much fun.

[Ms Ravenwinter]

@Ermine I'll take a look. Witch Hunters fit well enough into the gothic fantasy theme I'm trying to inject into my character. As long as I get to keep the raven feather coat.

It might leave us without a support (I don't know if we still have a Bard on board. And I can imagine that a Witch Hunter, without looking at the class, is probably not going to be heavy on utility) so I'll stick to Cleric if it's in the party's best interests.

EDIT: The internet I have is shite (i'm using someone else's phone as a hotspot) so would I be able to get a direct download of the pdf? It's loading too slowly for me to take a good look at the class.

[Ermine]

@Ms Ravenwinter Well, that IS the PDF itself. Dunno how much more of a direct download it could be. Hold and save?

[JBRam2002]

@Ms RavenwinterYou should be able to right-click that link and Save As.

Witch Hunter is a physical build that specializes in melding arcane magics into a weapon. In reality, it's pretty similar to my character in tone, but the mechanics make it quite different. If you activate a blood rite on your weapon, you lose a small amount of max HP (restored when rite ends) and can deal bonus damage on every hit like a barbarian... except it's a dice so the damage dice is doubled on a crit. There are several archetypes, and they're all pretty strong. If I recall, there's a Ghost Hunter that gets bonuses to incorporeal targets as well as other death-defying abilities, there's a Mutant archetype, and there's one that works sorta like a weaker Warlock (Profane Soul). I've also seen a werewolf style archetype, but that's not in that pdf. In addition, they all get a limited number of curses they can use on their targets.

I'm definitely going to stick with Ranger since this is my first time playing D&D. I have to get used to it before I try anything like a tough class. And I always liked Ranged classes in games aka I played a Hunter in WoW. >.<;

[Ms Ravenwinter]

@Ermine It was just trying to show the pdf as-is in my browser instead of downloading it, which was taking too long.
@JBRam2002 Thank you, good sir!

EDIT: Took a look at it after dinner and I like the themes, but it's not for me. Ultimately, it's a unique way of making my character an autonomous whacking stick, which is my main gripe with the playstyle of any of the martial classes. Though it's a class I would probably advertise to other groups since I think it'd be fun to see in action. It's very much akin to the Witcher or Bloodborne which is always fun to see.

OTHER EDIT: I now match in the CS section. And I added another paragraph to describe her personality beyond "ooo she so mysterious". I'll probably add more as more about her is revealed. Or when I feel like it :P

[Ermine]

(Still say @Big Dread should be a sexy goblin wizard)

[Landaus Five-One]

@Ms Ravenwinter Pretty nice, Ooo mysterious is nice too. That description is pretty nice. :)

@Ermine LOL, now that's a funny thing. XP

[Ms Ravenwinter]

@Ermine @Big Dread I quite like the gunner. Seems to me like a prime candidate for that rivalmancy you rolled earlier. Especially since both her and Evyr are in to the whole vigilante justice thing, it's just that Evyr does it a bit less often and does it dirty. And sneaky. And healy.

[Ermine]

Up to you to determine the rivalmancy~

[Ms Ravenwinter]

@Ermine I think I just did >.<

[Ermine]

'Tis true. Would be nice to get an agreement and the sharing of that detail between the two of you.

[Ms Ravenwinter]

@Ermine Well you tell them and I'll PM them if they're interested. I would but I'm leaving for bed now. Bye.

[Ermine]

I'm sure they can read this thread just fine ^~^

[Ms Ravenwinter]

@Big Dread Ey gurl you want sum fukc?

@Ermine That surely will get the right message across ^-^

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

This combination of personalities can only end well. I foresee no party conflict here.

Oh? You thought I was being snide and humorously passive-aggressive? I was speaking about combat, as all of these characters appear fairly stone cold and dangerous. The actual group mechanics? Oh, yes, I imagine plenty of infighting, flirtation, argument and agreement on matters probably unrelated to the plot. That is just the nature of the beast.

[Ms Ravenwinter]

@The Harbinger of Ferocity As is to be expected of a beginner's game of 5e, I'm sure.

[Landaus Five-One]

@The Harbinger of Ferocity I can also see out of combat a Lover's Triangle. Angela, Harriett & Draj walk into a bar and shenanigans happen. XP

Though I definitely agree with you in-combat. :)
