Starting funds and equipment will depend on what level we decide to start at.  Joe is the only one who has expressed any preference.

I guess my preference would be to start at 1 but i dont mind starting at 5

what is the ruling on playing a flying character?

choices are flying elf, arrococra (sp), or flying teifling. of those i think i would go with the elf or teifling.

If flying is not a choice i still might go with elf or feral teifling which i think gets +2 dex vs cha.

pretty sure im going to go with the rouge so the +2 dex is what im looking for

I'll allow flying characters, but I want to say that flying carry capacity is 1/4 what your walking capacity is.  So, for instance, heavy armor would be hard to manage if you want to fly.  Is that fair?

tried rolling the dice with the 4d6 drop lowest and the 7d3 drop lowest just to see how it would come out. very close but the 7d3 came out just a little better for me so that is what i am going with

Character creation is to DnD as writing down lists of songs is to being in a band.

I guess if I have a preference it would be to start at level 1 as I am a sucker for developing a character through essentially their whole career and I don't want to miss any of the buildup or background to the campaign events.

It is also called a winged teifling. I haven't been able to find a lot of info on it other then some people mentioning it on line but it has bat wings fly speed of 30 feet and looses infernal legacy for flying.

what i would want to do is combine feral and winged to get the +2 dex  if i go that rout. still haven't decided though if i want a flying rouge or not and whether i want to go elf or teifling.

I have filled out everything for my character at level one except equipment. If we decide to start at 5 I will level him up.

As you create your characters consider if you would like to be part of one of these groups.  This is entirely optional, but these factions may play a role in the adventure.

quote:
THE HARPERS
The Harpers are spellcasters and spies who covertly oppose the abuse of power, magical or otherwise. Working alone or in small cells, they gather information throughout Faerun, discern the political dynamics within each region, and help the weak, the poor, and the oppressed, acting openly only as a last resort.


quote:
THE EMERALD ENCLAVE
The Emerald Enclave is a group of wilderness survivalists who preserve the natural order by rooting out unnatural threats. They struggle to keep civilization and the wilderness from destroying each other, and they help others survive the natural perils of the Savage Frontier.


quote:
THE ORDER OF THE GAUNTLET
Members of the Order of the Gauntlet seek to protect others from the depredations of evildoers. Placing their faith in deities such as Torm, Helm, and Tyr, they bring the strength of their faith, their hearts, and their weapons to bear against villainy.


quote:
THE ZHENTARIM
The Zhentarim, also known as the Black Network, is an unscrupulous shadow network that seeks to expand its influence and power base throughout the North. Its members crave wealth and personal power, though the public face of the organization appears much more benign, offering the best mercenaries money can buy.


Not that these are your only options.  You could make something up yourself if you want.

I could do gauntlet.

What is the max level this is expected to go? I want to decide if multi classing is worth it for me.

I have decided on a (get ready for it) Scourge Aasimar Hexblade Tomelock.

Scourge Aasimar is from Volo's Guide to Monsters
Hexblade is from Xanathar's Guide to Everything

I will share both of these pdfs through Drive when I get home.

The Tomelock bit is jargon for Pact of the Tome which is in the Player's handbook as a pact option. It won't come up until 3rd level though, so it is subject to change.

Actually, scratch that. The Radiant Consumption is no bueno for concentration spells. Standby for different race. Probably either Half-Drow or Protector Aasimar (or maybe fallen?).

I am wanting to stick with the aasimar thing because of a backstory concept I had where he was held a prisoner in the shadowfell for a long time. The Raven Queen offered to free him if he made a pact with her, but he refused. Eventually she convinced him to make a pact with sentient weapon made by her.

I could be wrong but I'm relatively sure that the Raven Queen isn't in the Forgotten Realms Pantheon...

It's a hexblade thing, so, I don't know. In 5e she rules over part of the shadowfell, so maybe it's a gray area. FR uses the same cosmology, doesn't it?

Cosmology is similar if not entirely the same but in FR the Shadow Fell doesn't have a god who is lord of the plane, though evil gods regularly visit or hide out their. I think it has been brought largely under the rule of one creature, demi god or what have you for a short time.

Kelemvore is the god of death since the... I can't remember what the event was called all of a sudden but I read some of the books... You could possibly have made a deal with him. He certainly would have had the power to help you escape the Shadow Fell even if he doesn't rule it.
