The Eiden Lands

[Timemaster]

Not really to be honest. Both work with my idea of character but Eloquence has that silver tongue talent which combined with expertise would make my changeling get a massive boost to Deception/Persuasion rolls. Add to that the infections inspiration and the bardic inspiration ability gets "buffed" properly.

It would work better than creation but if the campaign is leaning more towards full-on combat, creation is technically better as I could animate objects to fight for me / create different items when needed.

@Timemaster This RP is intended to be more dialogue and narrative focused with the occasional combat. There will very likely be times where you will have multiple combat encounters in a single adventuring day, but most of the focus will be outside of combat. Treat this RP as normal in that regard, character interactions and exploration.

[Timemaster]

@Lucky Understood. Eloquence it is then. Thank you for the help! I'm sure I'll have more questions later on but that's all for now.

[Dark Cloud]

@Lucky So, with what I have so far is it fair to assume I have a place 'locked in' in the group for the rp?

[DELETED08740]

Would you need to have a lot of knowledge about DnD for this RP? Sounds like there's a lot of discussion about DnD mechanics and most of my TTRPG is in Warhammer Fantasy (and am also considering bringing a character from Warhammer into Beyond for my submission)

[Lucky]

@PigeonOfAstora All you really need is the want to be an adventurer. If need be, I can help with character creation and mechanics.

@Dark Cloud Negative. I'm not approving anything until the OOC is up and I have opened up CS submissions. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I'll give it upwards of a week to give people time to put their stuff together. Space is limited (4 players max). This is not first-come first-serve.

[Dark Cloud]

@Lucky Why do we need two separate sheets when everything can be written on the actual sheets?

[Timemaster]

@Dark Cloud He explained somewhere in the thread. Easier for him to keep track of character developments, inventory etc but I'm sure he'll explain better.

[Dark Cloud]

yeah I guess but still.

@Dark Cloud To be fair, a character sheet on DnD Beyond can't go into the full detail of background and history. Plus, we have our secrets, which if put on our sheets, the others could see easily. They did say from the get-go that the sheets would be on here and DnD Beyond would be more ease to manage stuff. Plus we can be creative with our sheets on here with the coding.

[Dark Cloud]

Well, the sheets actually have a section for notes and backstory. But I guess I see what your saying, although I am not going to play with code as it will make retyping stuff a pain in the ass. I can't copy/paste on my crappy mobile.

[Timemaster]

@Dark Cloud Use google doc. Helps with the formating bit on your phone. If you've got a phone with buttons, it might not work...otherwise, shouldn't be an issue.

[PatientBean]

@Dark Cloud Well, I meant more coding for the Character Sheet, not for posting. For posting, I'm assuming you can just type it up nice and easy, even on a phone.

Over 40 year old DnD game that's still going on. Wow.

[Lucky]

@Dark Cloud Character sheet on RPG is for everyone to read. It can go into a lot more detail and follow a template for consistency. Using dndbeyond CS's Notes is fine, but that will be moreso for you alone because nobody can read them except for the player/DM.

Excuse my absence everyone! One of those things where you forget there's a holiday and people actually still care about celebrating the weekend. That said, it's gonna take me a little bit more time to put the start together. Rest assured I'm making progress, in fact I've made a new world map I would like to share with you all later today as the one I linked in my first post was made months ago.

Thank you all for your patience!
