[OOC] Tales of Maoria: A 5E D&D Adventure

This RP is currently suspended until I have more time to devote to it. I became unexpectedly busy after the campaign started. I apologize for the delay. Those who wish to drop out may do so no harm, no foul and those who want to be notified when it picks back up (or starts over) when I have more free time to devote to DMing just let me know and I'll mention you when it's back up and running.

[The Mighty Hero]

Welcome to the Mighty Hero’s Interest Check! Below should hopefully be all the information you need to know about the RP. If not, please mention or PM me so I will receive a notification and will thereby respond to you quicker. This will be a D&D 5th Edition RP. No worries for new comers, I have no problem teaching new players, all characters will be starting as level 5. I hope you enjoy your stay.

The World of Maoria

Hider

Maoria is a beautiful world filled with wondrous landscapes, vibrant flora and fauna. Unfortunately the land is ruled by a tyrant King. King Balthier had ruled the people of Maoria for thousands of years. No one knew the secret of his immortality but the people grew restless under his iron fist. Tired of nearly starving to death each year while the King had extravagant parties people soon rose against him. Most rebellions against the King end quickly and violently. Are you for or against the King? The choices you make will define you, and the world to come.

The Gods of Maoria

Hider

The gods of Maoria can be found on page 296 of the Player's Handbook. We are using the Gods from Dragon Lance, a phenomenal book series if you’ve never read it. The other rule book we’re using is Volo’s Guide to Monsters

Races and Classes

Races and classes can be found in the Player’s Handbook. The link I posted earlier is to a PDF version of the PHB and is searchable, or you can click on the table of contents to get you to the desired area.

Character Sheet

@The Mighty Hero Will we be using standard methods for generating ability scores and if so, would you like us to use RPGuild's dice to prove we rolled it?

[The Mighty Hero]

I don't know anything about the dice mechanic of this site so for now I'm trusting player's to be honest. For those who don't know how one would normally determine ability scores, roll 4d6 and drop the lowest roll and add the remaining 3 together. I personally prefer this Dice Roller

[JaceBeleren]

*4d6

[The Mighty Hero]

UPDATE: I PREVIOUSLY STATED THAT I WOULD INTRODUCE A HOUSE RULE ON SKILLS BUT HAVE DECIDED NOT TO DO SO, AND WILL TREAT SKILLS AS NORMAL

[The Grey Dust]

Interested.
Working on a Cleric.

@The Mighty Hero

How much starting gold for lvl 5 will you have us start off with?

[The Mighty Hero]

Starting Wealth By Class

Barbarian 2d4 x 10 GP
Bard 5d4 x 10 GP
Cleric 5d4 x 10 GP
Druid 2d4 x 10 GP

Rogue 4d4 x 10 GP
Sorcerer 3d4 x 10 GP
Warlock 4d4 x 10 GP

Your character's background may add to your starting wealth

[JaceBeleren]

Coughs DMG, bottom of page 38.

(Not to be a prick, it's your roleplay, just making sure you were aware)

[JaceBeleren]

(Working on a wizard, by the way)

[Medjedovic]

I'm probably gonna be a barbarian. Not sure tho, may change my mind, but definitely a melee class.

@JaceBeleren

I can't find my copy of the DMG at the moment so I just pulled from the PHB for the time being. On my phone at the moment so I can't load the PDF version I have. And you're not a prick :) There's a lot that goes into DMing a game so if I overlook something (or you think I am) I appreciate it when you let me know.

[The Grey Dust]

@The Mighty Hero

Well the uh, PHB only gives Starting golds for lvl 1 chars. I mean 200 max GP starting out for 5th level is fine.
I mean gear-wise we may be lacking, but my Cleric so far is a utility cast rather than a battlecaster.

[JaceBeleren]

@The Mighty Hero
Basically, it's a table showing suggested starting gear for higher-level characters, based on character level and amount of magic in the campaign. The 5th level section reads:

Low/standard magic: 500gp + 1d10 X 25gp + normal gear
High magic: As above + 1 uncommon magic item

@JaceBeleren

For our RP I would go with the Low/Standard Magic

@The Mighty Hero

Will coins have weight in this game?

[VKAllen]

No-- to an extent. @rush99999. Each DM's preference though.

I have created a Rogue.

[The Mighty Hero]

@rush99999 No, that seems a tad excessive on the realism side. Now, if you're carrying treasure like gold bars, they will have weight.

[VKAllen]

@The Mighty Hero

If I may...

How about in a case where the creature has made a hoard of treasure worth... 85 000 gold? Do we suddenly have a mini pocket dimension in our satchels capable of hoarding this amount of wealth?

@VKAllen

Excessive amounts of wealth would probably not be stored by players or creatures in coin purses, more likely in a chest which would have weight. I suppose for instances of players having excessive wealth there could be banks in major cities.
