A Small Heist [5e] OOC

[Pyrophilios]

I'd be happy to - I also have a concept in mind (when I heard heist I focused too much on potential social encounters )

[Bobthewizard]

I'm in. I played in a RandomWombat game once where we had 3 characters each and it was a lot of fun.

@pyro what are you making?

I'm currently thinking about revisiting a Bugbear Ranger/Scout I made a while ago, or revisit a Ranger/Monk concept that I never got quite to work as intended

[Pyrophilios]

Alright: This is Garuth , a really, really big bad news bugbear and as sneaky as it gets with lots of expertise.

[Bobthewizard]

Here's Spider, our halfling tank.

[Pyrophilios]

lvl. 9 you have proficiency of +4

[J-H]

Garuth
The original 16 was PHB races only, but I think I can live with Bugbear. You have 2 ASIs that give a total of +3 DEX, yet have DEX 20. Bugbear gives +2 str/+1 dex, so how'd you get to 20?

Taya
Don't think I have any questions

[Pyrophilios]

I used the Bugbear from Monster of the Multiverse, as that's the latest/current version - those come with variable stat arrays

I have another character lined up with a woodelf instead
I'll post that once I get off work


Edit: Lanius Collurio

This one isn't an assassine but a scout - less first strike, sudden death and more continuous hiding and evasion.

[J-H]

Ok, are you both ready to proceed with the new characters replacing those who have departed?

[Bobthewizard]

Yes. However you want to introduce/retcon this is fine with me.

[J-H]

They've always been with the party in place of the others.

[Pyrophilios]

They just had very good stealth rolls

[Pyrophilios]

Ini for Lanius:

(1d20+8)[16]

[Pyrophilios]

Question: is snake infrared vision mechanically identical to dark vision?
I.e. does it trigger the gloomstalker invisibility?

[Bobthewizard]

There is no such thing as infrared vision in 5e. There is darkvision, blind sight, tremorsense, and true sight. I think snakes have blindsight to a short range. Outside of that range they just have normal vision. So if you are in the dark, you are invisible to them, regardless of whether or not you are a gloom stalker.

[J-H]

That is correct. With the scale being different while shrunken, their blindsight isn't quite so short-ranged any more.

[J-H]

Waiting on posts for Taya and Clip.

[J-H]

Are you doing Minor Illusion (5' cube?) at will that the party is moving in and out of, or something else?
(+ Pass Without Trace)

Which way are you going?

[Pyrophilios]

Misty Vision aka silent Image covers a 15ft cube that can be moved as an action

[J-H]

So you're moving 10' per round to keep the illusion on you?
That's a speed of 1" real scale per round, or 100' / 6" per minute.

[Pyrophilios]

Only, if we have to move in rounds instead of travel mode.

The illusion moves with up to 120ft per round. (It can be moved from any point within range to any other) The problem you describe only happens if we can't all move concurrently, while we are out of combat.

[J-H]

I made a thread in the 5e forum looking for details on Silent Illusion as Mass Invisibility. It has been pointed out that you can't do "illusion of what's on the other side as though it were transparent." You an only do a single illusion or set of objects, and how they appear will differ based on what angle they're being watched from.

They may also impede your vision.

So, what's the illusion of?

[Pyrophilios]

Basically an umbrella with a texture similar to the floor with indistinct edges - camo in other words.

Just enough breaking up of lines to not be identifiable from a distance. A duck blind

[J-H]

Great. And where are you going?

[Bobthewizard]

I vote hallway since we're on that side of the kitchen. Are there any clues in here for where the library might be?

[Pyrophilios]

I concur - straight through the kitchen and out into the hallway

[Bobthewizard]

When the servants left the kitchen, which way did they go?

[J-H]

Down the hall you went down.

[J-H]

You're currently at the kitchen end of the hall, the very first door on the right as you go down the hall from the kitchen.

[J-H]

To clarify, I'm waiting on confirmation for which way you are going.
