[OOC] D&D 5e - Lost Mine of Phandelver

Keep on eye on the first post in the OOC as I will frequently update it with things that I can think that need to be added in.

Please vote if you feel that attacking a monster or PC that is more than one size below you (e.g medium attacking tiny) should take disadvantage

Welcome to the Lost mines of Phandelver the standard rule set for D&D 5e applies, if you have any questions at all please feel free to message me or drop your questions down below.

To keep this clean and easy we're going to run with a post order which will be decided based on the confirmed players. However the way battle will work will be with the iniative system. I will get you all to roll when a battle is about to begin, and PM me your results, from there I will post the initiative order in the begin battle post, this is so that we don't have a million posts of just dice rolls, If there are things that would result in a roll that I am doing I will let you know and get a roll outside of the game and post the results in my post for you to make it cleaner.

POST ORDER -Suspended-
Posts will now be done in a once per one of my posts, so that those who post faster may post when they are ready, but they still must wait for me to post again after they post.

Completed Posts
This will be updated every time i Post

Should I copy-paste my sheet from the PM?

[Daemanis]

That would work, it's Just so that we can keep track of the characters and their post orders @Regitnui thank you

[Samdragonx]

@Daemanis

I second @Regitnui. :D

I'll try and keep mundane things(like a leveling table or something) in a

Hider

[Regitnui]

There you go. I'm in the CS tab.

[Daemanis]

@RegitnuiThank you and you have first position in the posting order, though i'd wait for the others to get there CS's up so you can post your first post

[Samdragonx]

Posted CS. :D

[JBRam2002]

Posted CS. :D

@Samdragonx

There is a lot of info in that CS that I don't recognize from 5e. For example, "mutilated" and the spells used. Where did you get your info? None of it appears to be from Unearthed arcana. Also, starting with 5+ magic items at lvl 1 is a bit unheard of.

[Daemanis]

unearthed Arcana is allowed as I was asked back in the interest check, as for the magic items the only reason i allowed them is the fact they cannot be used or sold, her character cant use armors or weapons it would appear.. @JBRam2002
they are classed as "loot" so like a treasure chest
If i got that wrong please correct me

My comment is more that the info he has is not from UA. Also, even if one cannot use magic gear, they can eventually sell it most likely. Even if not, it's gear he doesn't have to buy later. His net worth is currently close to 3k gp whereas the rest of us are closer to 100 gp.

To add: the barbarian features that he shows do not meet the flavor or balance of 5e. He has effectively spell resistance, which doesn't exist in 5e. There are very few things that add or subtract a simple number to anything (except proficiency or stats). He has -4 INT and CHA, which is only "offset" by his +4 Intimidation (not a fair balance).

In addition, his "powers" do not exist in 5e. The casting time makes no sense (measured in seconds, not action type, and doesn't fit 5e's rules). The bonuses and penalties make no sense for 5e (bleed damage doesn't exist). Dragon Drums uses an opposed check instead of a spell save DC, etc.

These effects look like someone's unbalanced homebrew, not UA. If I am wrong (I'm 99% sure I'm not), then please provide a link to the UA. In the meantime, the only non-core subclasses for Barbarian I'm aware of are in SCAG pg 121 (Battlerager), UA: Revised Subclasses (Ancestral Guardian), and UA: Barbarian Primal Paths (Storm Herald and Zealot). None of them allow any spellcasting while raging, and none have any bleed mechanics.

Oh,.. eh.. hm.. Let me fix that. enchanted => broken and sealed enchanted.

Character traits i slapped in there at random aren't from any D&D...
i just made up some things to have it look more.. eh... 'interesting'?

@Samdragonx

The problem with randomly adding homebrew is that it usually conflicts with existing rules. Also, you have added so many homebrew features that the character is unrecognizable as 5e or D&D in general. I'm not the DM, so I can't make any rulings on anything, but I would strongly suggest sticking to PHB, SCAG, and UA, at least until we get past lvl 1.

[Daemanis]

@JBRam2002 Fair enough, though i did state that the enchanted items could neither be used nor sold, so they are effectively trinkets, as to the other mechanics actually somehow I missed the weird timings, spells cast in round times or instant @Samdragonx if you need help with your character, like the blood mechanic I do kind of like, however we would have to change it so that while you're under it's effects you take x amount of damage per round in combat as it is like an activated feature or something like that. but if you go with PHB stuff it makes it a lot easier and the extra stuff you can get through out the adventure, I do like the ideas behind it however...

[Daemanis]

@Cu Chulainn Tagging from Interest Check, If you're still down to join, Also if anyone knows of 1 more person that would like to join please let them know we have one more open slot but once we get the 4 confirmed posts will open!

[Cu Chulainn]

@Daemanis

Yup, still hanging around! I'm just in the process of making my character sheet, at the moment. Dicecloud takes a while, especially for spellcasters >,<

[Daemanis]

@Cu Chulainn all good :D I use an excel sheet myself for my Characters, which is a hell of a lot easier only thing is the sharing of that excel sheet means using google drive and stuff like that.
And would you like to put a reserved spot into the Character section and I'll lock your place in the post order

[Samdragonx]

@JBRam2002@Daemanis

All done. Ready to go.

[Cu Chulainn]

@Daemanis

Ayy, posted

[Regitnui]

@Samdragonx, why does your barb have a firebolt spell and no melee weapons? Are you sure you wouldn't rather be playing a wizard?

@Daemanis I'd like a scene setter before I start Roleplaying, please.
