I fully rolled two crits in a row, followed by max damage on one of the damage rolls. Jesus christ in heaven

It's fine. coughs blood I have 3 more HP.

Feels like being hit by a divine smite or two...

Come to me so I can heal your wounds..  My dear.

Yes! Let the anger flow through you!

In reply to Ix Brinebeard (msg # 88):

Likely depends on your backstory I imagine and where you're at.

Thank the Dice Roller for coming back to its senses.  Or just wanted me to live to fight another day. No Crits on me.

Now, I'm not saying I have the next 17 levels plotted out on a OneNote doc or anything...

In reply to Antir d'Lyrandar (msg # 97):

That's a man who plans ahead!

In reply to Antir d'Lyrandar (msg # 97):

I do have an Idea of Signe's endgame but I don't know the order, feats, etc. Just her spread at 20.

My two Discord games both ended up turning into 1-20s.

We're level 8 in the homebrew, and level 9 in the heavily homebrewed Descent into Avernus. I'm totally spoiled, and used to thinking about it as a result.

I've never tried a Paladin Barbarian, what are you going for if you don't mind me asking?

In reply to Antir d'Lyrandar (msg # 100):

If she gets to 20 Signe will probably be...
Barbarian (Totem Warrior), Lv 14
Fighter (Battlemaster), Lv 3
Paladin (Oath of Conquest), Lv 3

Is there a hidden synergy there, or just a grab back of fun toys you like?

Not anything too optimized. Fighter brings basic fighting things; Action surge, fighting style, combat superiority and maneuvers. Paladin brings a second fighting style, smites, some healing and channel divinity. Barbarian brings a Lot of massive tanky power and rage. It's got a decent synergy overall though definitely not super optimized. But it's also got a lot of flavor to it that I like so I figured why not try it out.

I have an idea for what I want to do next level, and that's about it!

I'm planning to stay pure Warlock however. Keep my patron happy, and make the most of my funky powers ;)

Fighters are just too good. I didn't consider taking a dip in it, but might be interesting. Of Jarinal survives that is. Picking on someone stronger is both fun and terrifying.

As for feats, I had some ideas, but am suddenly considering Mage Slayer...

I used to plan ahead back in the 3.5 days. But playing long enough on RPoL has taught me D&D games usually only last 0-3 levels. In all my years only one made it to gaining 5 levels. That game lasted 2-3 years or so.

I've got a level 10 in Tomb of Annihilation right now, Fighter 1/Warlock 9. Though we're almost at the final boss.

I've been very lucky to be in some games that last years. A DM here named hobgob runs these giant sprawling campaigns that I'm all about. Slow, they are very slow, player attrition is high as a result. One of them that I'm in started in 2016, and only half of us are level 5 yet. But goddamn if they aren't consistent. They just.... go.... forever, and they run like 10 of them at a time. It's not for everyone, but I love them, and am in 3 of them.

Plus I'm in a handful of Westmarches style games, and those ones you level rapidly.

I was in a Westmarch game, but last year had some personal stuff going on, and ghosted every game I was in :(

Finding the right tempo can be tough. Too fast and things can go right past when asleep/working, and too slow and it can be hard to be engaged with the character/campaign.

In reply to Ackbal (msg # 106):

This. I absolutely feel this. It’s why I have a vague plan without specifics like feats and the like. I can easily change her build and her original is meant for early level (Ie what I built now). But I’m not too worried about specifics for 10+

Exactly, I play a character that works for me now, rather than what might be.

I remember, Kirce Maro says hi if you remember my character there.

Hope you're doing better.

As I am planning on staying PURE SORCERESS

I almost always multiclass, so it's weird to me that I'm not with Antir. 100% pure... Mage... right... that's what he is.

I think Ackbal has the right of it, that your character needs to be fun right now, not in 4 levels. Having a blast paling around with Karl as is. Looking forward to meeting the rest of you.

Oh I'm so into looking forward in meeting you two gents.

This pirate is looking forward to forming a crew with others :)

Although, curious what goals others have in mind, that we would align on....?
