Oh oh! I wanna be on the team with the Halfling Barbarian! There is nothing about that character concept that isn't awesome.

Hello all will be playing Ghorza the 1/2 orc cleric of Tempest.  She is NG

If it helps for picking teams she will be a front line Cleric (Highest starting attribute will be STR).  Her background gives her access to some thieving.

Cheers!

Wow, it's great to see such lively interest in the game!

Hello all, I look forward to writing and gaming with everyone. :)


As the GM has noted in his chart, Rurik will be a Dwarven fighter (Mountain/Shield Dwarf most likely), with a background of soldier (Dwarven Hold-Watch).

Well Ghorza seems to be the only cleric so far so Hai wants to be in her group as well. :)

What Pantheon are we working with?

Voting time. What number of PCs per team should we use? Less PCs means faster turnaround but less interesting fights. I'm thinking 4 or 5. Thoughts?

The pantheon is the standard Forgotten Realms one from the basic 5e books (plus some from 2nd edition days, but that's not important right now). In Phlan there are only 4 or 5 priesthoods active at this time. On the good side those are Tyr, Tempus and Sune; on the evil side, Bane and Shar.

Four to five to a group is pretty much the standard. Might as well go with something that isn't broken.

Sorry, my bad. Forgot you said this was set in FR.

Seeing as how we have 13 players, I say groups of 4 with one of 5 would be more balanced.

What, nothing in Phlan for Moradin? We really need to get busy and clean this place up! :)

Five or six PCs per team sounds about right to me, depending upon how the numbers work out.

LOL -- yeah, Ghorza is going to be in high demand. Rurik might even be able to overlook the taint of her Orcish ancestry . . . :)

PS. Now that I look again, I see that Brak, as a Druid, can also serve as a healer. :)

Re: OOC Lounge, Bar & Grill

Roasted Gnome is a staple of the local gnoll fine cuisine. They pay up to 200 gp for a well fattened Gnome.

Just sayin'.

Yes, that's a plot hook as well.
