I think the monk can assist us on our skill checks when we're preforming our roles.

No problem. And my monk does have a Stealth of +4 so he can be back-up scout should something make that necessary.

I think it can be a really nice utility spell that can come in handy, but Spare the Dying- when I play a Cleric- is a must have. I think it is too important to skip. It allows you to have a life-saving spell even when you have used your spell slots on healing. At low levels, it absolutely keeps characters from dying.

Its only short-coming IMO is as a touch spell. Its the reason when I play clerics I tend to go with the Grave domain as you get Spare the Dying not only as a bonus but it can be used as 30' range spell instead of touch.

Generally, everybody can do or help with one task (not be look-out AND hunter) so a person could help out that way. Guide doesn't get help that way.

Quite a stealthy bunch. This seems like it'll come in handy, but there's a bit of overlap in terms of journey rolls. There could be a situation where one of you is exhausted, say, where it would come in handy to have a backup.

Stealth never hurts.

Ok. I'm done. Back to stealth ranger.

Alright, so are there outstanding issues, or should we get started?

If I get a thumbs up from the five of you, we'll get rolling (and work in Raven in a couple days when he's ready.

I am set

kalstone · #50 Post by **kalstone** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 7:16 pm

I'm ready.

Roller skates strapped on and ready to roll!

My character is ready to get started.

Based on the numbers as they stand right now, here's the logical distribution of roles:

Guide
Brana the Cleric: WIS +3, Survival +5

Scout
Ornthalas the Rogue: Stealth +7, Investigation +2

Hunter
Raknar the Ranger: Survival +4

Look-Out
Sabyllos the Warlock: Perception +3

That leaves Birbal the Monk to wash the dishes.

That's good, since my Rogue is proficient with and owns cook's tools.

BTW, I notice that out of our entire crew, we don't have a single point of INT bonus among us.

I saw that. With a Warlock or Sorcerer, as Charisma based casters, instead of a Wizard, we don't have an Intelligence based character, and everyone appears to have made it one of their dump stats. Ornthalas is the only character with any bonus for Investigation as a result. The limited backgrounds (several are missing from the printed PHB) only have one, the Haunted One, that gives Investigation as an option. As a Rogue, I had plenty of options so picked it up so somebody would have it. Fortunately, I think we have pretty decent coverage overall for each of the tasks- and we will still have Ravenn's character so who knows what that'll look like.

The last person to generate the character can inherit a bizarre shopping list of party needs. "Can you play an intellectual barbarian with woodworking skills and healing spells?"

Rex · #55 Post by **Rex** » Fri Mar 15, 2019 3:29 pm

That would be cool to run.

Sweet... kicking things off, then

Created character in D&D beyond (dwarven fighter) Let me know of any changes/suggestions!

Looks like he's pretty close. It looks like you still need to work out your equipment. Other party members and 5e experts may spot ways you could improve, or be more useful to the party (you mean, he's not an intellectual barbarian with woodworking skills and healing spells...?) but the character looks fine.
