Mystery of Mythwater (OOC)

[Kidzait]

Place to post character sheets, discussion and whatever else. I will add on to this post in the future.

Places of interest:

House of Okrasil: Abandon temple on the edge of town. Citizens of Mythwater have been dismantling it for building materials for as long as anyone can remember. During this last round of harvesting stone, a pit descending an unknown depth is found under a collapsed part of the structure. The pit is of unknown depth and does not appear on any of the few historic documents that survive.

College of the Expanding Horizon- The place where you work/ study. The college’s main campus is located in Silverymoon but you do not have to travel from there. The school has dozens of sister campuses scattered throughout the towns and territories of Faerûn. This is not exclusively a place of magical study. The college offers courses that would fit anyone’s adventuring style. Students and faculty often can acquire useful items and equipment from their expeditions or simply requesting it from the universities armory.
Your characters can be and high or as low in the university hierarchy as you would like. Feel free to flesh out your character's part in the university. You have the freedom to carve out a place in the university as you see fit.


Mythwater: A small mining town located on the coast of Lance Lake. The town is not very populated, maybe a hundred people living there at any given time. Most citizens keep to themselves, doing what they can to keep the town healthy and prosperous. The town would have been abandoned decades ago if it wasn’t for the steady supply of Brozitine and copper that the mine produces. Being valuable in alchemical equipment and in the creation of magical items, The town and its inhabitants stay happy and wealthy. Ever since the hole in the House of Okrasil opened up, the citizens have been experiencing relentless nightmares while they sleep and bouts of rage during the day. After a week, the mayor sent a formal Adventurer Request to the College of the Expanding Horizon asking for assistance.

  Rogue Bonuses
  Expertise
  Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make for two chosen proficiencies. [6th] Choose two additional proficiencies.
  Sleight of Hand, Stealth
  
  Sneak Attack
  Once per turn, you can deal an extra 3d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack with a finesse or ranged weapon if you have advantage on the attack roll. You don’t need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 ft. of it, that enemy isn’t incapacitated, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.
  
  Thieves' Cant
  You have learned thieves’ cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation. It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.
  
  Cunning Action
  You can take a bonus action on each of your turns to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.
  Fast Hands
  You can use the bonus action granted by your Cunning Action to make a Sleight of Hand check, use your thieves’ tools to disarm a trap or open a lock, or take the Use an Object action.
  
  Second-Story Work
  Climbing no longer costs you extra movement, and when you make a running jump, the distance you cover increases by +3 feet.
  
  Uncanny Dodge
  When an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to halve the attack’s damage against you.
  
  
  Racial Traits
  Languages
  You can speak, read, and write Common and one extra language.
  
  Ability Score Increase
  Two different ability scores of your choice increase by 1.

  Feat
  You gain one Feat of your choice.
  Lucky
  
  
  Feats
  Defensive Duelist
  When you are wielding a finesse weapon with which you are proficient and another creature hits you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to add 3 to your AC for that attack.
  
  Lucky [ ][ ][ ]
  You have 3 luck points per long rest. Whenever you make an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw (or when an attack roll is made against you), you can spend one to roll an additional d20 and you choose which die to use. You can choose to spend luck points after you roll the die, but before the outcome is determined.

  Ahtaclenna's earliest memories were of her time growing up on the streets of the city. She had no memory of what had happened to her parents or why she was living alone in the slums, she just knew the day-to-day struggles of getting enough food to survive. But despite all the things leveled against her, Athaclenna was inordinately lucky, and instead of perishing on the mean streets, she was taken in by a scoundrel named Axel that took her under his wing and started to teach her how to steal better than before.
  
  As the years passed, Athaclenna grew to be a very accomplished thief in her own right. Then one fateful day came along when she decided to try and raise her game a bit and started working in the upper class parts of town, breaking into houses to take her fill of valuables to sell on the streets. In one house in particular, she slipped in during the night and began prowling about in search for valuables that could be turned around for a quick profit.
  
  This was going to go down as another successful night, but she then came across the most amazing thing; a room just filled with books! More books than she had ever known to be possible. She slowly moved through the library in wonder before she took down one of the books and began to leaf through the old pages. Seeking the confusing script that was both confusing and beautiful, she reaches for a different book and began to look at this one when a voice from behind her said, "You might want to try The Adventures of Jamie Farstrider, three books to the left of that one. It is a very entertaining read." Athaclenna spun about and was confronted by the owner of the home, a middle-aged human in his night clothes. A few different options flashed through her head; she could run, or she could make use of the dagger on her hip and threaten the man and make her escape that way. But something about him struck her as being not a threat, and over the course of the next several hours, they talked about all the different books that the man had (his name was Dennis Dumar, by the way) well into the early morning hours.
  
  Dennis never did call for the constables to come and arrest her. He was able to see something special inside this young woman that he wanted to try and nurture and bring forth. He let her stay in one of the many spare bedrooms of the large manor, and he began to teach her how to read Elvish, the strange but beautiful language that was in the first book she had picked up that fateful night, along with the rules of living in the upper class of the city. Over the next several years, Dennis became a valuable father figure to the troubled young woman, providing her a way off of the streets.
  
  Dennis would introduce Athaclenna as his niece from a far away city and made her feel like she was really a member of his family. She struggled to learn the many different things he was trying to teach her, and it would break her heart when she would make a mistake and hear the older man say, "No, I'm not mad, I'm just a bit disappointed." Soon enough she could see that he was in reality very proud of her, and one day he told her about this wonderful opportunity that was coming from the University, one that she might find interesting.....

  Cayde-6 was constructed just a few years ago by an artificer that works for the College of Expanding Horizon to fill the need for a reliable and dependable guard and protector for the valuables located on the campus of the College. For the first couple of years, Cayde-6 served with little in the way of questions. It was no real surprise that by working at the College, the inner spark of curiosity would soon be stoked, and the Warforged guard started to want to know more about the world around him, and in his off time, he would go to the library and read. Cayde-6 was fascinated with the many different stories he found in there, and soon was more than his original creator had dreamed of.
  
  

 

[EbonChevalier]

How’d you guys do that with your sheets?

 

[Sherwood]

How’d you guys do that with your sheets?

The tabs command is {tabs}{tab=name of tab} and to end a page you use {/tab}. Just replace the { with [

If you want, I have no problem with you quoting my sheet then going in and editing it to have your data in it.

 

[Sherwood]

And the command to put the character pic is {imagefloat=right} and after you put the pic in, use {/imagefloat}. I put my pic at the very top of the page and it then fills in the rest of the info along side.

Username: Dragonslayer57
Experience in RP: a year and a couple months
Experience in TTRPG: none
What kind of player are you?: a fun one
What do you like to see in games?: Action and adventure, with some medium paced story, deep lore, and worldbuilding.
What do you not like to see in games?: Toxic players and people who ghost
any homebrew you like?: no but since i just searched it up, it sounds fun to try!

Character sheet: lvl 5(I like World Anvil but anything works)

 

[DragonSlayer57]

Anyways if im correct you roll a d20 for your stats?

 

[DragonSlayer57]

And is there sa place you guys get the character sheets from?

 

[Sherwood]

I am using the character builder from Dndbeyond.com. It is free and it helps you with the character creation process. Then once I was done, I used my Private Workshop to type up my sheet nice and neat.

 

[Idea]

Anyways if im correct you roll a d20 for your stats?

For this campaign we're doing standard array or point buy. If it's your first time, standard array might be the easiest, as it is designed to give you something decently balanced. Though your fellow players can help even if you decide to go for point buy

Point is though, no rolling for stats this time according to the GM.

And is there sa place you guys get the character sheets from?

I like to use Dicecloud, and also I have a character sheet template I use on RPN for D&D characters.

 

[Idea]

Vox Angelis DragonSlayer57 got any class / character / party role in mind?

So far it seems we have two frontline fighters ( Sherwood rogue and Psychie fighter with so far seeming like a plenty tanky build) and I think EbonChevalier was thinking either wizard or barbarian. Sherwood's character seems to have features to help the party handle potential traps and shenanigans in the dungeon.

 

[Sherwood]

We do need a cleric.

EbonChevalier use [ ] and not { } and it will work

 

[DragonSlayer57]

I’m thinking of a monk.

 

[DragonSlayer57]

Is there a certain amount of points I need?

 

[Kidzait]

D&D 5e Point Buy Calculator

Point Buy Calculator for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition

chicken-dinner.com

Here is the site I use to keep my math straight.

I’m thinking of a monk.

Monks are pretty fun and easy to pick up. I've enjoyed them every time I have played one. Let me know if you need any help.

I hope i did it right!

 

[DragonSlayer57]

I’ll try to draw a pic of him later, but I’m trying to go for a monk/cleric type who is somewhat good, yet wants power. I’m planning to have him sign some kind of a contract later, don’t really know much about that part, so he’ll be able to use magic, or fully unlock his ki

 

[Sherwood]

I hope i did it right!

Might I offer up a suggestion? With a monk, the two attributes you want high is Dex and Wis. You add the bonuses from each of them to determine your AC.

 

[DragonSlayer57]

Yes i used a stat arranger system or whatever its called

 

[DragonSlayer57]

Yeah stat array

 

[DragonSlayer57]

Do i use point buy?
