[OOC] Lost Mine Of Phandelver (D&D 5e) (CLOSED)

[Dark Cloud]

Hm, yeah it would take quite a bit out of the module.

[Necroes]

If we are doing Phandelver I'd prefer it to start where its supposed to start.

@TGM

I agree, actually. I just don't think it would massively impact the scaling of the combats if we started at level 2. It's just a lot less likely for a random critical hit to one-shot a frontliner.

@Necroes

Ha, reference

Anyways, would you guys like to make new characters or just call it a day and say killing some goblins gave you guys some knowledge and bippity boppity boo your now level two.

[Necroes]

I think a number of us requested new characters. If we are going that route, though, any new rules we should know for character creation? Some new books have dropped recently, after all.

[Dark Cloud]

@Necroes Normal starting wealth, either roll or take standard. And how does everyone feel about Point Buy?

[Dark Cloud]

Oh and anything that is applicable to the Forgotten Realms, is fair game. So exclusively the sourcebooks for FR. No Theros, Ravnica or Ebberon.

@Necroes

I'm iffy on the Rabbitfolk & Faerie as a race. But other than that it's meh

[Necroes]

@Dark Cloud Gotcha. I call Aarakocra druid.

[Dark Cloud]

@Necroes I was about to complain about Flying speeds then I remembered that literally it isn't a huge issue. Especially in like a cave or inside structures.

@Necroes

I like the lethality but I'm just one opinion. That's why we do session zeroes.

[Necroes]

@TGM I mean, we're essentially doing a session zero, right now. Discussing everyone's expectations of the game, what everyone wants to play and who they want their character to be, what we all want out of the game.

We're doing a PbP format, so it's not like we're all going to sit down at a table for an actual session zero. Even when we had a live-chat going, not everyone could be there all at the same time. Which was fine, specifically because this is a PbP format.

[Dark Cloud]

@TGM Anyhow, what are you thinking about playing?

[Dark Cloud]

Everyone else tell me what your thinking of playing.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

I do have a Reborn Fathomless Warlock idea I’d like to try out. ^_^

[Dark Cloud]

@Guardian Angel Haruki Sounds good, what is A) a Reborn and B) a Fathomless Warlock?

[Birdboy]

I love this module more than you imagine, but I've run it three times and played it even more. At this point it'd be hard not to metagame. A shame, since I love playing this module.

[Dark Cloud]

@Birdboy I might just change stuff to fuck with you then

[Birdboy]

I think I'll just watch this time around!

[Dark Cloud]

@Dark Cloud

That was a real question, I have zero clue what those are.

[Dark Cloud]

@Birdboy

Enjoy the show then.
