This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Marleycat;777977We did but he had to drop out before the game started so we are way overbalanced in a bad way currently. Given it's RAW only.

With three fighters? I guess; it is up to Opa though, you're right.

Quote from: Endless Flight;777961Hey if you ever need another player, keep me in mind. I'd like to jump in and would play anything. I've been doing PBP since 2002 so I'm an old pro.

I'll boot up my Interest topic in the Main Forum. It's open all August for another 6 slots of players. We'll chat up there and see if we can wrangle some friends for you to warrant a second batch — and second OOC & IC topic.

Otherwise, if you stand alone, we'll integrate you in here as a 6th.

See you in the Main Forum topic! :)

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

We have 3 fighters! God help me.:)
Don\'t mess with cats we kill wizards in one blow.;)

Caden works pretty good as a Rogue with stealth, and Alric works pretty good as a scouts with Survival & Animal Handling. Hanalee can do OK on her own, or assisting Alric in a pinch. Overall, I think you're all pretty well balanced.

The big thing, I think, is lighting a fire when in the dark. :)

You guys have a lot of firepower when in combat, and those three can keep on chugging along.

What can I say? I'm old, three fighters sounds about right, but that is for older editions.

The hilarious part is Opa hasn't even seen me throw a spell other then to help you do our Insane plan. But you aren't a fighter Dragoner. Your best bet is to work in concert with me on the backline if the dogpoo hits the fan.

Frikken Fighters are death walking in 5e.Jesus the damage and recovery they do is unbelievable. It's like I take a potshot and run..then watch and see if they need help or just eat my lunch. I liken it to being a closer in baseball.:)

Yeah, I figured us for remf's, that's cool about 5e fighters, my fighter in another game killed a goblin in one blow, but he also rolled a nat 20.

Crazy but sounds fun. Fighters should hit stuff hard so that's all good with me. I liken Wizards to be artillery/air support to a fighter being a tank/infantry and the Rogue being the anti-tank squad. And Clerics being Hawkeye Pierce and mostly pissed off at the stupidity.

Sounds good, it ain't a party til arty gets there. ;)

Also, If I recall right. Caden has a criminal background giving him thief tools for traps. Not that we know in the group but that covers most the bases of rouge. we might suffer a little but be okay!

We can do it!!!

Opaopajr

Absolutely correct, you can also use Thieves' Tools, which allows +Prof Bonus to trap disarm and open locks checks (not tied to any particular stat, dependent on the situation).

Having fun especially Ganking a dwarf cause he touched my Woman!!

Opaopajr

Heh, that was quite epic! Not a party-all-together thing, is it? Sometimes the victories, they're personal.

I will say the dice have routinely played an interesting role in surprising me. I try to leave notes in the dice room, and you can see there the wild twists and turns of that battle there. That whole Delilah squirming away, or grappling the dwarf's legs while she's prone!, the dice.
