Re: Role play heavy game
Here's my WIP.
Tedras
Tedras gimmick is to be dashing with a sword, persuasive with words, and spend like a high roller when money is good. I'll use Battlemaster for control and support more than damage. But Tedras can pack a punch if needed.

Re: Role play heavy game
The Golden Vault is a secretive organization committed to righting moral wrongs. Membership and activities are almost impossible for outsiders to track. They are known to support virtuous underdogs and handle delicate situations that local authorites won't touch. Their mottos is "Do good, no matter the cost." Missions are often illegal, but they always support a just, moral cause.
Missions / heists take place in the forgotten realms, sometimes between planes.
Each mission is written so that combat can be avoided if you want, and stealth is generally preferable. Like any good heist, there will be a lot of preparing for the mission, exploring the surroundings, and talking to NPCs.Avatar by the amazing linklele

Re: Role play heavy game
I think the general idea is heist. So just think Oceans 11 or whatever your favorite heist movie is.
Also, apologies I wasn’t trying to ninja the response. Just wasn’t sure how often you checked the forums. Excellent synopsis btw.
Hit points as typical in 5E?Last edited by Lioslaith; 2024-02-21 at 06:32 PM.

Re: Role play heavy game
Leaf is made!
Spoiler: BackstoryBorn to half-elven parents, Leaf was the eighth of eight kids. Her parents worked their butts off to provide for everyone, as did the elder siblings, but their success was limited. As such, Leaf spent a lot of time wandering the city, unsupervised. She got into her fair share of trouble with the law-harmless things, mostly. Pranks and practical jokes, minor thievery (usually food), and the time she discovered her magic by summoning a wolf to attack a bully. (He lived, and wasn't even seriously injured, but it sure scared the crap out of him.)
It was after this incident that her parents were able to do something-it helped that they no longer had all eight kids around, the elder few having moved out and found lives elsewhere. They contacted the Emerald Enclave, informing them of Leaf's talent with summoning, and made clear to her that she was to listen to them, learn from them, and behave!
Leaf agreed. At first. The good behavior lasted about a month, before she started sneaking out again. But she did learn quite a bit about how to use her own magic. She didn't know it, but the Enclave considered her a prodigy, with how fast she was able to learn. When she turned 20, she finally returned home, to find her parents doing much better. Without all the kids needing to be fed, they actually made decent enough coin, and were able to live simple, but peaceful, lives. Leaf's siblings occasionally visited, and everyone was doing okay.
But, after her time with the Enclave and her use of magic, Leaf was not content to simply stay home. She wandered, helping people in need and doing adventurer-type things. It was during this period when she was contacted by the Golden Vault, offering her a mission that was far more impactful than the little tasks she had been doing.
She didn't take much convincing to join in.I have a LOT of Homebrew!

Re: Role play heavy game
No Echo Knights.
...That reminds me so much of something from my own work that I might just import a character from there. The problem being that most of them don't make for good D&D characters on account of using a very different magic system.
Even so, that gives me a lot of concepts. Tempted to list them... especially since, given these are roleplaying concepts I'm choosing between, talking about them might help me decide which I actually want to play.

Re: Role play heavy game
Yes - typical hit points. Full at first level, then half+1 moving forward.
We have some good candidates so far. I'm hoping to get enough on this thread, but if necessary I'll open up a separate recruitment thread to garner more notice.

Re: Role play heavy game
Then I shall repost here...
I will make... A Hexblade Warlock. They rarely seem to get played at high levels because they're treated explicitly as a dip class but 9th level is when they get their fifth level spells slots so that should be really fun.
I'm thinking a master swordsman who died unfulfilled and unsatisfied by the opponents they faced in life so they were offered an opportunity to be resurrected and challenge greater enemies and they took it, unaware that there is a higher price to be paid."Don't think of it as dying," said Death,
"Just think of it as leaving early to avoid the rush."

We've got some solid applications so far. I'll give people until Sunday night (GMZ-8), and make decisions and get started on Monday.Last edited by agignac; 2024-02-25 at 05:50 PM.

Re: Role play heavy game
Tedras is finished. I just added a rogue level, but Tedras is more the Gambling-Forging type of rogue than the stealthy kind. The only decision is the uncommon object: right now I have an immovable rod, but I may change it.

Re: Role play heavy game
Yay! Solidity!
Quick question, Agignac: How do you rule wildshape and held objects?
As an example, from a past game of mine. The party was raiding a mage's study, and they needed to get a lot of documents fast. One of the PCs lifted the desk, wildshaped into... An elk? Something quadrupedal, melding the desk into the animal form and fleeing the scene. Then, when wildshape was over, they just dropped the desk where they were.I have a LOT of Homebrew!

Re: Role play heavy game
Rafe Haugen
Dhampir Hexblade Warlock 9
AC: 19 | HP: 75/75 | Initiative: +2
STR: -1 | DEX: +2 | CON: +3 | INT: +1 | WIS: +4 | CHA: +8
Spell Slots: 5th: 2/2
Hexblade Curse: 1/1
Accursed Spectre: 1/1
Ghostly Gaze: 1/1
Active Effects: None
Concentrating: None
Conditions: None
I present... Rafe Haugen.
In life he was a master swordsman who hunted bounties like a cat playing with a mouse, ever eager to face a worthy opponent against whom he could really enjoy dueling. One day, however, he died. Not in battle to a superior foe but to an underhanded trick only a coward would employ. He was fatally poisoned by his current quarry, who had somehow gotten wind that Rafe was coming for him.
And so Rafe died and he was angry about it. Not because he died, which is something he knew would happen one way or another, but because he was unfulfilled and unsatisfied. Both with the method of his demise and the lack of worthy opponents he had faced in life. He wanted more, to reach ever greater heights in the only way he knew how - crossing weapons with the best warriors to ever live.
Then the offer came. Be resurrected and seek the satisfaction that he had been robbed of. Rafe eagerly accepted the deal, unaware of the grave price that would be paid either by Rafe or those he fells in glorious battle."Don't think of it as dying," said Death,
"Just think of it as leaving early to avoid the rush."

Re: Role play heavy game
Yeah. I use Myhtweavers because I like it, but Agignac hasn't stated where sheets must be hosted.
I would assume anything she can easily access and read is fine.I have a LOT of Homebrew!
