D&D 5e |The Haunting of Genning House

[Blu3]

Looks good. Just the lawful Evil makes me nervous but good.

Lawful Evil is only a problem when it's not used properly. This character's not likeable, but he has a moral code. He's not a good person (or much of a person at all), but he'll abide by an agreement most of the time.

i actually have no issues with lawful evil or neutral evil characters if they are played in a non antogonistic manner. though i once played a chaotic evil wood elf poacher who was in the same party with a lawful good paladin, never instigated PVP with the paladin and put more focus on the paladins goal than the paladin ever did. the Paladin wanted to save his home City State from a Lich King to save his people, the poacher wanted the lich king's broken phylactery as a trophy, either way, they had the same long term goal, and even though the poacher focused on it, the paladin kept trying to smite her on sight, because he cast detect evil and she had a ping, and the guards constantly had to break things up, because being chaotic evil isn't a crime of its own accord, and as far as she was concerned, she was hunting for subsistence and for sport, as her people had as a tradition, and that no man had a claim over the wildlife, i mean, it wasn't my poacher who caused the trouble, it was the lawful good paladin. i tried to be a people person, even if i was a bit blunt and abrasive, at least it was honest.

Due to his simplicity, he has the capacity to find himself at odds with other characters, but he's not likely to fight them unless they do something like starve him.

i figured. zombies are simple and have base impulses. they can coerced with  haunch of meat every so many hours.

But worry not. So long as someone keeps some Dispel Magic/Counterspell ready, he'll be an excellent ally.

 

[Blu3]

Well my computer broke...... I lost the character sheets but i'll remake them...... GOD HELP ME!!!!

 

[transcendantviewer]

Well, mine's still up. What character sheets are you making?

 

[Blu3]

Just rolling stats, equipment, spells the important stuff

 

[transcendantviewer]

So you're making NPCs?

 

[Blu3]

Yeah just the enemys and the allies

 

[transcendantviewer]

It's better to just use the "Creating NPCs" section out of the DMG. After all, despite what the book says, PCs aren't challenge ratings equal to their character levels. In my experience, it's rare that their challenge matches up with their level.

Just waiting for character sheets

 

[Umbrie]

i need a Sheet Template too. am i allowed to use either the standard Array or Standard Point Buy? or do i have to roll? and if so? what rolling method are we using?

 

[transcendantviewer]

My character was rolled and I wasn't told to adjust anything, but yeah, asking never hurts. And here's the one I usually use.

And here's the custom archetype for you to check out. The first feature is pretty straightforward.

I was told level 3.

 

[Umbrie]

replace the wand with a blacksmiths hammer and yes she has a chain shirt beneath those robes. chain shirts are one of those more subtle armors.

Wouldn't the PDF Character Sheet been easier? There's a lot of wasted space on that excell sheet.

Wouldn't the PDF Character Sheet been easier? There's a lot of wasted space on that excell sheet.

the excel sheet has tabs and auto calculates. which made things easier for me, plus it has the information pre programmed unless you wanted me to copy paste. which i could do with neither PDF whether the book or sheet. the Excel sheet is also easier for me to update. it tells me what everything offers.

I don't know, it's always been easier for me to just do it by hand so I could easily remember it on the fly. Especially with spellcasters. When you remember writing down all your spells manually and remember picking all your spells by hand, you rarely forget what spells you have; same can be said for class features.

i tend to forget things, even when i pick them by hand. so i like having that easy reference that is auto calculation to make sure i don't forget things. like accidentally forgetting that mountain dwarves don't get shield proficiency. even though i could have sworn they did.

 

[transcendantviewer]

That's fair.

She looks great Umbrie now I have another Character to murder!
