Lol gonna have to agree with you on that.  Dealing with the fact she has a necromancer of a mother on one side and a vampire for a father on the other, with both of them having joined a fucking cult when she was still a child, Emily has plenty of reasons to get occasionally shitfaced.  A Beer cleric would be perfect, especially since Vecna tried to get her to convert by promising her quite a bit.  An offer she almost considered I might add, although it wasn't for power or any of that.  She just wanted her family back, before her father died that first time and everything went to shit.  Things were good back then, hence her almost consuming rage because she was almost weak enough to give in, although he was a very clear threat of course.

Success!  Seriously though, while that probably won't be mentioned for a while, it IS one of her driving factors working against her in some regards.  She understands why she almost caved to Vecna's promises, which he very well could've kept albeit in a very twisted fashion given the circumstances, but Emily still hates herself and the bastard both for being that weak, even for a moment.  Getting her drunk will allow for some revelations, especially for anyone that knows the Briarwood name.

Hmm... so we got a cleric, a paladin, a gunfighter.  That helps me make a decision!  I am thinking either a wizard or a sorcerer. :)  The wizard has more utility and the sorcerer is simpler and generally more combat oriented.

Oh, where are we starting?  Or is that yet to be decided?   Although it seems we are starting on the Tal Dorie continent.

Good to hear Keyes, and that's Gunslinger, not gunfighter lol.

And I believe it'll be Tal'Dorie.

We haven’t figured out where in Tal’dorei yet.  I would prefer some city stuff but travel is fine too.

Speaking of, does anyone want to know each other at all?  I'm merely curious on my end, but I wouldn't mind having a companion of some sort if anyone wants to pair up.  :D

Considering adapting my wild mage sorceress, assuming she'll fit the setting.  I need to figure out how to do the point by method, instead of using the standard array or rolling, but I'll see if I can't make some progress with it.  She's human, so I'm wondering if I can still use the variant rules, which are offhand I think increase two ability scores by one, and you start with one feat?  Someone correct me if I'm wrong, or our DM can veto the whole thing too.

People may know my character in one way or another.  I need to write them up first though.

I’m game. Milly should be well known in particular amongst most Tavern Dwellers and at least by her order by Nobles and the Virtuous via her noble background.

That is the variant rules and I don’t believe Jess vetoed it.

I wouldn't mind pairing up somehow.  My girl grew up in the orphanage, and was forced to leave when her power showed itself around puberty.  I'm thinking to make things easier on myself, because I can't see the map, of just having her be from Emon, which I'm sure probably has an orphanage, considering how large the city is.  Because of how large the city is, it was easy to just blend into city life after she left.  I'm considering incorporating her existing background of pickpocket, and saying she joined up with the Clasp so she wasn't living on the street, but I'm not sure how easy it would be for her to leave said guild, either to start this particular adventure or at some point in her back story.  I'll give it some thought, and see if I can't come up with something.

I am all for pairing up. :)  of course that would be easier once I start figuring out my character. ;)

I'm actually hoping for an underworld connection, so pairing up with Sarah's gal, if you're willing, would be perfect.  :D

And Sarah?  I believe our lovely GM can help with that since she's setting it up in such a way that she can make changes to people's character sheets.  I don't know how you'd get the link to her without being able to see it is all, but you CAN do so is all I'm saying.  :D

Sarah Morgan

I'm definitely willing.  This sounds like fun, if we can figure out the details.  And I'm sure our GM will help all she can.  If nothing else, I can PM her what I come up with, and she can let me know if I've managed to do the math correctly. :)

Vergil1989

That'd work, especially since, while some of the choices are limited without buying a bunch of their books, D&D Beyond has been a pretty amazing tool so far.  It's how I made Emily's stat sheet and all.

If you want to chat about characters, I can send a PM your way if ya like Sarah.  :D  And yes, I'm sure there's plenty of orphanages around Emon.

Chatting would be good.  I say include the GM in as well, so she can contribute ideas?  I'm not sure how to send to more than one person at once.

Vergil1989

Already sent a PM your way as well as our GM's.  Hopefully you're able to get to it.

Hmm, seems like a lot of people wanna play Sorcerer. Including me! What's party balance, again? :D

Seriously, we may end up with a full party of mages...then again, who knows.

@Angie  I am willing to change my class if you want to fill out the magic user slot. :)  I am still in the figuring out my character phase.
