I bet you were.

Me...I'm kinda opposite all the way. A fallen assimar (where normal assimar are celestial, she is necrotic), which is also a necromancer.

Shes gonna be fun!

Thats really interesting, is she tied to the Karrnath or perhaps the elves?

Loosely the Kharnath, not that she knows it. She's pretty much been left alone most of her life....her father withdrew when her mother died giving birth, her brother was very mean and when she was apprentice the mage was after a slave more than a pupil.

...which is why she favors more questionable spells. Never had true mentoring.

Nothing a plate of fermented Mrorish peppers can't fix!

Wait . . . maybe not, weaker human palettes . . . err

I have a biscuit for you, it has fudge in it.

Greddark, I will go for some peppers, no matter the cost I have to pay later :D

Storyteller, two questions regarding character creation:
 1. Do we have the usual choice between roll or average for HP, or do we use something else?
 2. Do we have any additional spending money to get some equipment?

Storyteller: I'll tack a question on, What are allowed sources for spells?

For HP, I think we'll start off with the average. Then for level up, allow the choice of roll or average.


For funding, Base + 100 GP

For spells, all official WotC allowed. Exploring Eberron and Morgrave Miscellany allowed. Other sources/custom bring it to me we can talk.

Anyone have Survival or Medicine? As these interact with some of my tool proficiencies I'm torn on which my last skill proficiency choice should be

Edit: I'd take both in lieu of one of my class skills . . . but sadly my class gets neither

Greddark, I have proficiency in medicine and a good wisdom score for survival.

It's mainly due to the tools proficiencies giving situational advantage in Xanathar's, even if it ultimately doesn't come up it's nice to look at them and go "oh, that's a decent skill to have"

So brewer's you got persuasion and medicine, cook's utensils you have survival and medicine, and all tools have history . . .

If you have medicine on lock I might go in on foraging and the like as a cook

There is a lot to consider.  We don't often look at synergy, but the fact is, if you want a party that gels properly, and survives the long-haul, synergy is one of the most important factors.

I happen to have Proficiency in Alchemist's, Smith, and Tinker Tools.

Also worth noting that if I am not proficient, I'm still wise, and both skills will likely be fine.

In general designed synergy is almost entirely inferior to the synergy discovered along the way.

The only tools I'm proficient in are raising of undead tools

I am proficient in the making of dead tools. ;)

Synergy! :D

Speaking of proficiencies, Edward is mostly book smart, so I can't wait for that to start biting him in the ass. Nature vs Survival "What do you mean, some trees shouldn't be burned when wet?"

And I missed the tools giving situational advantage, I will have to check it out, seems like a cool mechanic.

It's a fun little thing, once played a bard who was the best interrogator in the party because they plied people with ale and sweets

Question, would Healing Elixir the spell be allowed? Its Unearthed Arcana but it is just a low level healing ability.

Healing Elixir is in one of those weird positions. Considered by WotC, tested in Unearthed Arcana, rejected ultimately to be included in Xanathar or Tasha's. I don't think I like it.  I mean it is a good spell with obvious usefulness. Maybe I am just a bit of a purist. Wizards spending a day and pricy components to brew a potion of healing feels good. A wizard tinkering around with an alchemist set for a minute and mystically conjuring one seems a bit off. Maybe it feels like something is missing, maybe I just don't know like Wizards with low level healing.

I am going to say no for the spell as is.

Sounds good boss.

Looks like we have drafts for 5 characters. Pretty close to being ready to begin. I'll continue to review things.

In reply to Storyteller (msg # 48):

I haven’t had a chance to get into the nitty gritty of my character yet, as I have had trouble with my computer. I have a pretty god idea about the layout, though, and Will be avle to get it Up sometime tomorrow.

Out of curiosity,  when the game begins what are we doing? Or i should say that morning what were we expecting? I ask in the interest of picking spells for the day and have a few possibilities based on what he was expecting to deal with that day.
