Dice Dark Ages of Taeral - D&D 5e (OOC)

[Silanon]

Alrighty: I have a "1pound egg with a bright red shell". There's a red dragon around. I'm scared.

 

[Idea]

Page 159. You can roll on the trinket table once at character generation. I love it. They're great little story-starters.

Okay, rolled a 21

"A tiny gnome-crafted music box that plays a song
you dimly remember from your childhood"

Do we add these to our CSs?

 

[Sherwood]

Here goes my roll.

"An Iron holy symbol dedicated to some unknown god."

 

[WlfSamurai]

Of the player's handbook?

Yes. Sorry. I should have said that.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Yes, add them to you sheets, please!

 

[Psychie]

Lets see what I roll:

A blank book whose pages refuse to hold ink, chalk, graphite, or any other substance or marking

 

[Idea]

Yes, add them to you sheets, please!

Added

 

[BnemonicDevice]

Let's see how I roll!

A... coprolite?

Also I found it ;p

 

[Sherwood]

You go into a post that has already been made, and hit edit. One of the options on the bottom will then be 'roll dice'

[Idea]

I mean, I don't know who invented the 700 year old and still working music box, but I'd like to hire them to make all my stuff that durable

 

[D. Rex]

Maybe, when the holy symbol is set on coprolite cube, it unlocks the book, and it reveals instructions to insert a special coin in the music box that will play a special tune to hatch the dragon egg.

Only in D&D can people find random junk and it turns out to all be a connected masterplan that only ever worked because none of them decided to just take that lazy saturday

 

[Idea]

D. Rex how does your character have a dexterity of twenty?

 

[D. Rex]

+2 DeX from racial ability, and taking points from Strength and Charisma.

But point buy only lets you go up to 15 though, so wouldn't that max it at 17?

 

[D. Rex]

Would it?

 

[Idea]

Would it?

I think it would, if only because I can't see how it wouldn't. Ah, but don't get me wrong- even if there is a mistake, if it's something the GM is going along with, it's fine with me. Not like it hurts me. I was just genuinely curious, cause as far as I know, the (normal) rule of point buy are:
1. Each person starts with a basis of 8, and 27 points to spend
2. The limit of points given to any stat is up to 15 (so 7 points being dumped on that stat)
3. Getting a stat to grow past 13 requires 2 points instead of 1 (so, going from 13 to 14 would require 2 points rather than 1 point, as would going from 14 to 15)

And then I requested the GM, and they allowed it, for points to be able to go beneath 8 (and we'd take those points and move them somewhere else).

 

[D. Rex]

Lol, I probably just wasnt reading the rules. I can switch things around

As I said I was just curious -I tend to go for very polarized characters in D&D so the idea of it being possible to get a 20 on something right away seemed exciting- I don't mean to apply any pressure!

Though, yeah, it might not be within the rules. And if that is the case and you want to fix...

D&D 5e Point Buy Calculator

Point Buy Calculator for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition

chicken-dinner.com

I used this to calculate my ability scores with the point buy system.

 

[D. Rex]

I think I used the standard array. 15 14 13 12 10 8.

 

[Idea]

I think I used the standard array. 15 14 13 12 10 8.

Wouldn't that lead to the same result though? I mean in standard array you can't move points around...

 

[D. Rex]

I was also operating on what Wolfy said about bring points down as low as 6-7 for a 1:1 buy ratio.



WlfSamurai can you clear this up for us? We are a little confused and want to make sure we are doing things right with the stats.

 

[Idea]

Agreed- or we can just leave it. Either works for me.

 

[Psychie]

I didn't know that 17 was the top-off point of attributes. I must have missed that.
