[OOC] Ruins of Norn: Walking Apocalypse

[Lucius Cypher]

Righto, Person. Either way you know what you heard.

[Searat]

Something big enough to scare a large group of troglodytes is bound to be bad news.

[Riaxh]

Exactly! Lets go looking for it.

@Lucius Cypher

If Angus were to leave the fire's warmth, how cold would it be?

[Lucius Cypher]

@rush99999

Uncomfortably cold. Like if you tried to even take a short rest while away from the fire, I’d need you to make a con save to not be fatigued by the chill even if you’re wrapped in furs and your bedroll. But otherwise not chilly enough if it’s just a short leave, but still notable.

@Riaxh

I know you were joking , but I actually do think we had better look for it we don't want it catching us by surprise after all

[Searat]

Thats crazy talk. I like it.

[Searat]

@Riaxh
Ill take the last watch. Roy can easily function with 6 hours of sleep.

[Riaxh]

@Searat It's alright I've posted, sorry I took my time.

@Lucius Cypher I skipped till dawn to get things moving, though obviously Angus went further into the temple. If something happens that the rest of us would need to interact with before dawn I'll delete that part of my post.

[Tangletail]

Is there a slot open? I can play a rogue, or a bard.

[Searat]

@Tangletail
I do believe so.
You have to pass a CS by Lucius before anything though. Also, take note that home-brew classes are allowed but need to be balanced.

@Searat

Alrighty, what would yall like?. A sneaky beaky sort. Or something good at support. Might go artificer... Now that I realized unearthed arcana is open.

[Tangletail]

Eh... I decided to settle on a Bard. I apologize if I suck as the bard, as I'm still figuring out 5e's version when previous versions had more options. So... Utility, a bit of healing, and clutch. But I'll likely ask for some small changes in the class.

[Searat]

Bardic inspiration is always a welcome thing in dire situations.
I'm sure you'll do fine.

@Searat

I'm contemplating between Sword, Valor, and Lore.

In my experience... Sword is a better battle bard, but it's selfish. But has good mobility and can still support very well.

Valor Bard gets access to Shields and martial weapons. Gives AC to others... but can't help themselves.

And Lore.... I'm guessing this one is pretty obvious.

@Tangletail

Hey, welcome to the RP, we’re still accepting. I’ve played around with bards in 5e and in older editions so I have a tenuous grasp at how they function and how their abilities are way different.

Personally I lean towards Valor Bard simply because it was the first type of bard I played, but Lore Bards can be quite useful in their own right. Unlocking Magical Secrets at level 6 and taking ranger/Paladin spells bring one of the more obvious uses. I’ve never used Sword bards myself so not sure how they play.

We can work out some alterations as needed, but you’d best tell me what you want first before you set yourself into a build that relies on it.

@Lucius Cypher

Mmm... My only alterations would be...

Making Countercharm into a bonus action. As it's a little absurd that it consumes the Bard's action just to give someone advantage, when it's significantly better to just give them an Inspiration die, and you probably already have Font of Inspiration around that time so you don't mind burning it.

The last one would be a Race from Volo's. I'm almost done with the sheet, so I'll IM it to you and we can discuss it.

[Tangletail]

@Lucius Cypher Here's Lilt's character sheet.

Having a damn hard time finding a picture on the internet for the kobold. Most of them don't have a very realistic art style. And some of the ones that gets close... well best not to post them.

[rush99999]

A kobold, eh? Have fun trying to convince Angus not to chop your head off.

@rush99999

Yeah, i saw that. Which is why I went more thematic with the kobolds loyalty to a blue dragon.

Illusion spells, and storms.

Disguise self... Such an underestimated spell.

And push come to shove.... Suggestion, tell him to shove off while she bails.

Edit: Now that I think about it... A few good reasons.

If the dragon is an enemy of her dragon. Shed gladly help you kill it.

Shes a bard. Her stories about a jacked barbarian lobbing the head of a dragon off with only four feet of steel will immortalize him.

And her crafty tongue is likely to get a bunch of free drinks, as well as play wingman.... Wingwoman.... Wing lizard. You know what I mean.
