Recruitment: 5e D&D: The Party Tower

[Angie]

Here's the pitch: There's a wizard's tower that's sealed off in a pocket dimension, unreachable by any who aren't personally invited by the wizard himself. No one knows who gets invited, or how, and the people who do get invited can't seem to speak about it. Those who do come back tell of an incredibly opulent tower hosting a party that never stops, with some of the wildest guests, and an incredibly powerful wizard running the whole shebang. A few others say the wizard asked them to perform a "small favor" for them that ended up turning into a world saving adventure...

The wizard of the tower is powerful beyond what most mortal or even immortal wizards can manage. He could reshape entire realms inside an afternoon. However, something (or someone) equally powerful holds him back. So he turns to people with the potential to be great heroes, gives them the time of their lives, and then asks for a small favor. A delivery, or checking up on a former guest. Inevitably, the place being delivered to is under siege, the former guest is captured, or there's some complication that requires great heroics to solve before the small favor can be performed.

Now is the time for the wizard's greatest, most cunning plan: Opening his home as a base to a group with some of the greatest potential he's seen, to train them up with a series of small favors to perhaps pull off the greatest heroic deed of all...

Okay Interest has been established so now this is recruitment. I'll update this post with CC guidelines as we go, but here's the starter:
Stats: Roll 4d6, reroll 1s, drop lowest
Start at 1st level
Races: Just about anything is fine, but if it's not something from Core, Forgotten Realms, or Eberron, expect to get a lot of weird looks when out adventuring.
Classes: I'd prefer we keep to the licensed stuff but if you really really really wanna play this cool homebrew you found, send it to me so I can get a look at it. Especially if it's a class that makes its big subclass choice at level 1 or 2 (we may hit 2 really quick).

[AndyZ]

Definitely interested.  I have a Celestial Warlock idea that would work for this idea easily.

[HopeFox]

This sounds like a lot of fun, and I'd definitely love to be in one of your games, Angie!

[Zaer Darkwail]

I voice interest as well, got multiple char ideas but fill it once figure out rest of the party.

[Opale]

Hi Angie ! 
and Hi Zaer :)

Tempting.
What would be the smut ratio if any ? 

[Zaer Darkwail]

I wonder also the overall smut x story/action ratio as well. Overall nice see some familiar faces :)

[Revelation]

Slapping some potential interest down.

[Laughing Hyena]

Hello folks. I show interest in these shenanigans.

[AndyZ]

Hello folks. I show interest in these shenanigans.

That’s because our shenanigans are cheeky and fun, and Farva’s shenanigans are cruel and tragic…

…which makes them not shenanigans at all, really…

…evil shenanigans.

[Ixy]

Would like to see how this comes together :)
Edit: wow this took a turn.  Good luck all

[Angie]

As far as story to smut, I'm not quite sure what balance to go for myself. Would people prefer a more laid back, smutty game with the occasional adventure, an even mix, or more fighting and dungeoning instead?

[AndyZ]

As far as story to smut, I'm not quite sure what balance to go for myself. Would people prefer a more laid back, smutty game with the occasional adventure, an even mix, or more fighting and dungeoning instead?

My suggestion is to have a decent amount of both in different points in time.  We can have a serious dungeon crawl while we're finishing the smut in a side thread.

[pdragon]

How are you doing starting stats? Point buy or can we roll for funsies? 

[Zaer Darkwail]

How are you doing starting stats? Point buy or can we roll for funsies?

Rolling could be fun, I myself favor either 4d6 (drop lowest) eight or 6+2d6 six times (maybe twice and choose between two set lines).

As far as story to smut, I'm not quite sure what balance to go for myself. Would people prefer a more laid back, smutty game with the occasional adventure, an even mix, or more fighting and dungeoning instead?

On my end, I like a mix of both, sometimes comedic smut elements invade adventure itself.

[Angie]

I've always been a fan of roll 4d6, reroll 1s, drop lowest. I like a slightly higher power curve to my heroes. 

There is certainly not going to be a lack of smut. The tower's interesting guests come from all corners of many realms, so if you really really really REALLY want to play a Simic Hybrid we can work with that. And it also means there's a lot of beautiful people coming to the party. 

[yutohase]

I'd like to also throw in my interest! Hopefully we're not all full already.

[AndyZ]

Where do you want us to roll?

[Zaer Darkwail]

Where do you want us to roll?

I found an online D&D Character Roller which appears to allow linking then roll and name what character you roll. Example (need copy character link). It shows how many 'characthers' have been rolled (so if you spamming it shows). Also has DnD dice roller by itself as well.

[Laughing Hyena]

You have no idea how much I wanna hug you right now for sharing that dice roller! Thank you Zaer!

[Laughing Hyena]

16, 15, 14, 11, 10, 9

Let's test this. Edit: It works!

Edit 2: Ones rerolled. Cannot seem to link that role sadly. Seems it will only do the sheet.

3, 3, 6, 3, 5, 1

Results going left to right, top to bottom.

16, 15, 15, 15, 15, 9

Pretty good rolls but I have no problems sticking with what I rolled already.

[Geeklet]

This might be a good place to throw the bard idea ive had rolling around in the back of my head.

[Chulanowa]

Sounds fun!

[Zaer Darkwail]

Indeed it does, now, I do not know what I play or what my character is called. But using my Elliquiy user name my stats are; These (9, 13, 14, 14, 15, 15)

[CurvyKitten]

Hello umm I sheepishly dip my toe back into E and raise my hand. And these are my stats 9, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17

[Captain America]

I'd be down for a game that you know...runs. :D

[HopeFox]

I'm definitely in favour of a main storyline for adventuring and side threads for smut opportunities, as long as the overall tone of the game is in favour of that.

I'd say that there is definitely interest. Should we start discussing character concepts, or will there be a separate recruitment thread?

[Angie]

Well damn. Interest is pretty well established. If you guys wanna start posting rough concepts and sheets, go ahead! From there we can work out how people get invited and such.

The dice roller looks interesting but I can already see it's not rerolling 1s like I requested. I will allow a certain level of honor system and just roll them up but if you get some insane god tier stat rolls I may humbly request you screenshot it to prove it.

You're all already here, I'll just update the name of the thread.

[HopeFox]

Okay, I think I've got the hang of this! Here is my initial roll, and here is another 5d6 I rolled to re-roll the 1s. That gives me a final array of 15, 14, 13, 15, 15, 13.

Yonda
Variant Human Barbarian 1

Languages: Common, Elven, Orc, Sylvan
Gear: Greatsword, javelin (4), light crossbow, explorer's pack, bottle of black ink, quill, small knife, common clothes, scraps of a journal detailing the ancient history of the Grandfather Tree, soot and salt, ritual book

Feats: Ritual Caster (wizard)
Rituals in book: Alarm, find familiar
Familiar: Her great-grandmother, Korda, whom she has conjured from beyond death to be her spirit guide in this life. She currently takes the form of a raven.

History

Yonda was born into the Tree Ghost tribe of Uthgardt barbarians in the High Forest in Northwest Faerûn. She lived her childhood on the move, travelling between camps and glades as the opportunities of nature and the shifting fortunes of the surrounding people took them. She learnt to hunt and fight with her brothers, sisters and cousins, but when her tribe's shaman recognize her keen mind, she was taken as his apprentice, taught the history of their people and the secrets of the world around them - gods, spirits, animals and plants, and the mysterious forces that bound the world together.

Ever hungry for more knowledge, Yonda pledged herself to upholding her people's oral history, and, under her mentor's guidance, she traveled throughout the forest and beyond to seek out new lore. The world beyond the forest was confusing but rich with lore, and there was always more to learn.

Now that Yonda is eighteen years old, her rites of passage complete, she has stopped to examine her place in the tribe, and her tribe's place in history. To follow in her mentor's footsteps and become the next shaman would be a good life, but she knew there was more she could do. She could become a shaman, take a husband, raise a family, fight alongside her people... but that would not help them achieve their true destiny, nor uncover the deeper mysteries of the world. Instead, working with the mysterious wizard in the great tower would be her way forward.

Background features

Trait: I have studied under all the wisest shamans and storytellers in the High Forest - or I like to boast that I have.
Trait: I’m used to helping out those who aren’t as smart as I am, and I patiently explain anything and everything to others.

Bond: Whatever happens, I must preserve the knowledge of my people.
Flaw: I would do anything to achieve the destiny of the Uthgardt.

Ok umm forgot you can refill ones but not sure how to do that on this site as it retold the whole set of stats every time on that site. Ummm  can you still roll on e?

[HopeFox]

Ok umm forgot you can refill ones but not sure how to do that on this site as it retold the whole set of stats every time on that site. Ummm  can you still roll on e?

We don't have a dice roller on E anymore, sadly.

For the rerolling, I would use the "D&D Dice Roller" link at the top of the screen, and simply roll 4d6 that you can then mentally use to replace the four 1s you rolled for your character.

[Zaer Darkwail]

At present Elliquiy has no dice roller at all, so it has been a dilemma.

Anycase, my original was this stat roll, but even if has some nat 1 in there, I am happy with the given stats. So here comes my concept;

Aren Brossfeather

Feats: None

History

Aren was born into noble house of Brossfeather in Waterdeep, he like most rest of the family got involved in hunting and spent lots of time in outdoors becoming quite a skilled wilderness guides. But he was later in life recruited by his lover into Knights of the Unicorn, whose family frowned upon the whimsical nature of the organization but besides that they let him do as he wished as he was not an heir of the family line and the Knights had a long virtuous history in Waterdeep. He has been recruited in knights and done some work for them in around Waterdeep and Sword Coast, taking whimsical requests for aid and dealing with troublesome dangerous beasts who are harassing or harming local farmers' livestock or driving lone greenskin away. But he does desire to do more and more daring deeds.

Background features

Trait: I can stare down a hellhound without flinching
Trait: I always seek help those in need
Ideal: Greater Good. Our lot is to lay down our lives in defense of others.
Bond: Knights of the Unicorn, several members and especially on towards his on/off lover relationship with faun lover Yulin.
Flaw: When I face enemies who have caused harm to innocents, I can get tunnel-visioned hatred towards them and forget to be merciful as needed.

[AndyZ]

My rolls are 11, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16.  Angie, I can easily show them to you if you want.  I put them on an old server for a game I was running a few months ago that fell apart.

I'm hoping to play Celestial Warlock, and if you'll allow it, Angie, I want to ask about Reborn.  I was imagining that my character made it to a good afterlife after an orc invasion (orc is negotiable if that's an issue) and was offered the opportunity to return with warlock powers but that the spell didn't quite work as planned.  Some people like the goth look (I know I do) but not others.  Basically looking like a vampire, absolutely no rot or decay.

If that's not okay, I can easily go another race, but figured I'd toss it down.

I would also suggest having a Discord to handle rolls and such, as well as talk to people.

History

Astrid was a innocent elf whom was born into a temple devoted to knowledge and scribes. She was intelligent as she was beautiful. She knew no hardship of the outside world and her life was devoted to becoming a Keeper.

A beautiful bird in a gilded cage.

But such innocence cannot last forever and soon her temple became the target of thieves. They snuck into the dead of night, killed the high Priest, stole his soul and tried to ransack the sacred library. Fortunately Astrid managed to get the nameless tome and ran away. Far away from the horrors she had witnessed. Her dying mentors words echo in her mind. "Do not lose the book. Do not read from the book."

She doesn't remember what happened exactly after that.

[Angie]

Discord is planned, if only for dice rolls.

Reborn and Hexblood, since they're both out of Ravenloft look fine. Plenty of possibilities, so it's good for me. Liking what I'm seeing so far.

[Laughing Hyena]

My suggestion is to have a decent amount of both in different points in time.  We can have a serious dungeon crawl while we're finishing the smut in a side thread.

Agreed with the ratio of smut to steel. Anything else regarding dice rolls, it's fine. I'm used to using the honor system.

Deathless Nature

You have escaped death, a fact represented by the following benefits:
You have advantage on saving throws against disease and being poisoned, and you have resistance to poison damage.
You have advantage on death saving throws.
You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe.
You don’t need to sleep, and magic can’t put you to sleep. You can finish a long rest in 4 hours if you spend those hours in an inactive, motionless state, during which you retain consciousness.

Knowledge from a Past Life

You temporarily remember glimpses of the past, perhaps faded memories from ages ago or a previous life. When you make an ability check that uses a skill, you can roll a d6 immediately after seeing the number on the d20 and add the number on the d6 to the check. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Court Functionary

Your knowledge of how bureaucracies function lets you gain access to the records and inner workings of any noble court or government you encounter. You know who the movers and shakers are, whom to go to for the favors you seek, and what the current intrigues of interest in the group are.

Healing Light

At 1st level, you gain the ability to channel celestial energy to heal wounds. You have a pool of d6s that you spend to fuel this healing. The number of dice in the pool equals 1 + your warlock level.

As a bonus action, you can touch a creature and heal it, spending dice from the pool. The maximum number of dice you can spend at once equals your Charisma modifier (minimum of one die). Roll the dice you spend, add them together, and restore a number of hit points equal to the total.

Your pool regains all expended dice when you finish a long rest.

A beam of crackling energy streaks toward a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 force damage.

At Higher Levels. The spell creates more than one beam when you reach higher levels: two beams at 5th level, three beams at 11th level, and four beams at 17th level. You can direct the beams at the same target or at different ones. Make a separate attack roll for each beam.

The light can be colored as you like. Completely covering the object with something opaque blocks the light. The spell ends if you cast it again or dismiss it as an action.

If you target an object held or worn by a hostile creature, that creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw to avoid the spell.

Prestidigitation

Transmutation cantrip

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 10 feet
Components: V, S

You instantaneously light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire.
You instantaneously clean or soil an object no larger than 1 cubic foot.
You chill, warm, or flavor up to 1 cubic foot of nonliving material for 1 hour.
You make a color, a small mark, or a symbol appear on an object or a surface for 1 hour.
You create a nonmagical trinket or an illusory image that can fit in your hand and that lasts until the end of your next turn.
If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.

Armor of Agathys

1st-level abjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (a cup of water)
Duration: 1 hour

A protective magical force surrounds you, manifesting as a spectral frost that covers you and your gear. You gain 5 temporary hit points for the duration. If a creature hits you with a melee attack while you have these hit points, the creature takes 5 cold damage.

History

Vyx's first memory is arguing forcefully with a celestial.  They needed help.  She had to be sent back.

He told her that it didn't work that way.  Soon enough, everyone would be in paradise.  She should savor it.  She's earned it.

So he made her a deal: if she returned, she would be granted power, but she would be expected to use her abilities for good.  For example, her name and a means to contact her would be given to a kindly old wizard who helped make the world a better place.

She agreed immediately, always wanting to help however she could.

It didn't take long with her newfound powers to dispatch many of the invaders and send the others running.  A lot of people were dead, but she saved...

...some village.  She should know it.  Others recognized her and kept calling her Vyx, but the specifics...

It didn't help that they were scared of her just based on her appearance.  Apparently she used to have beautiful golden hair instead of the frost white she possesses to this day.  Both her parents were dead, but they knew enough of her lineage to tell her that she had elven ancestry on her mother's father's side, not enough to see in the dark but enough to get the blessing of Corellon.

That perhaps explained the memories as well.  She couldn't remember much of anything before making the deal with the Celestial, but every once in a while, memories came back of other lives, things she couldn't have done in this one.  She might well be male or female but never suffers dysphoria from it.  Even whether she's earned paradise or will eventually reincarnate are beyond her understanding.

It didn't take long for her to set up as a courtier.  Although her born name is apparently Victoria, she likes Vyx better and uses the syllable for her full name.  Her haunting good looks helped to intimidate and persuade as necessary, she took to wearing black silk with her black leather, and she's quite patient with those who believe her to be a vampire at first glance.

Above all, she wants to help people however she can, and is ready for the wizard to contact her with whatever might need done.

[pdragon]

Name: Igashiko

Race: Hexblood

Class: Fighter

Background: Giant Foundling

Character Sheet

Description: 7'1, 380lbs. Raised amongst brutish oni and yokai in the mountains, Igashiko has grown into a towering mountain of a woman. She lives by the motto of "Meat, wheat, and the occasional sweet", the three pillars responsible for both her massive muscles and the plumpness that only ever seems to accumulate in two particular areas. Beyond the immediate eye catchingness that is her stature, Iga is also distinguished by two demonic horns sprouting from her head, bestowed upon her by her "mother", marking her as hexblooded.

Background

Background: Igashiko, or Iga for short, was, unbeknownst to herself, the daughter of a respected samurai clan. Her father, Yasuke, was known to be a great slayer of demons, just like his father before him, and it was naturally assumed he would pass on this mantle to his own children as well. However Iga would never receive this mantle, nor ever meet her true father, for only days after she was born, the evil yokai Hannya would hear news of the slayer's newborn babe. She saw in her an opportunity to both cut off the future of the demon-slaying clan, and gain herself a powerful minion in the process. And so she devised a scheme to lure Iga's father into the mountains with rumors of a gathering horde of yokai, and while he was away she snuck into their home and stole the newborn Iga from her crib right from under their noses.

And so Iga was raised by her malevolent "mother" as though she were her own demonic spawn. She was infused with yokai blood, taken to the mountains to live amongst the oni, and raised as one of their own (which was to say: ruthlessly). Through years of the yokai's dark rituals and the oni's brutal training, Iga was sculpted into the perfect weapon for Hannya, a loyal guard dog that would slaughter any that dared approach her mother's lair.

That was, however, until one fateful night when she was approached by a young samurai, about the same age as herself. She did not know it at the time, but the man was her father's apprentice, trained in the ways of the demon slayer, come after all these years to slay the monster who had stolen his master's daughter. The two fought, and while Iga was strong, she could not stand up to the grace and precision of his techniques, techniques that should have been fated for her to inherit. She was defeated, left grievously wounded on the ground as he proceeded forward into Hannya's lair, and in the ensuing battle sealed the powerful yokai away, and with it a great deal of Iga's own power.

When the samurai emerged, she expected him to finish her off, but instead he chose to spare her. However it came with two conditions. First she would have to disown her mother and abandon the wicked life she had lived so far, and second she was to pay penitence for her deeds by saving two innocent lives for every life she had taken while serving the yokai. Seeing little other choice, Iga agreed, giving up her job as guard dog for the role of...wandering hero? It was a strange adjustment to say the least, but she actually took to it surprisingly well. In truth getting to travel and see the world proved far more fun and exciting than standing guard over a dark cave every day, and as it turned out people tended to make for better company than yokai (at least once they got past their initial fear of her).

Alright! I wasn't sure how to figure out the D&D character roller thing with rerolling 1's but I got 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17 for my stats. Happy to provide a screenshot if needed.

As for character images, are there any rules regarding AI? It's hard to find character art on the web these days that isn't AI. But I have a rough idea of what I'm going for -- an elven warrior, probably some variety of dark/night elf. I'll look for possible images ASAP.

If it's impossible to tell I'm generally okay with it. If you need some assistance, I think I have access to a Pintrest gallery that's really well stocked. May have to ask the one who manages it if it's okay, though.

Brief Description: Phoebe was born the seventh daughter of a moderately wealthy merchant. She lacked little in the ways of needs but egeregiously in the form of any supervision. By the time she had reached adolescence she had discovered a nose for finding trouble and a bad habit on relying on her family to come to her rescue when that trouble exploded around her.
Phoebe's quick wit and quicker fingers blossomed as she grew to womanhood, a good thing as her familily's fortune took a turn for the worse. Bad investments and banditry had left them on the wrong side of debts to powerful individuals. Tired of her antics making matters worse, they split ways with their troublesome daughter in hopes she'd find respectability on her owns.

[Chulanowa]

Gonna be a little bit before I get something in (yay for inconsistent work schedules!) but still looks fun :)

[Angie]

I'll probably give this all a week or so. Like, end of next Saturday is deadline. Will not be first come first serve, I'll pick the people I want then. I don't think I'll try to run two groups again, it didn't quite work out last time.

[pdragon]

Yeah trying to start up multiple games at the same time is generally unwise. 

[Chulanowa]

Original roll: 9, 9, 12, 13, 14, 18

Re-rolled 1 in first set (14), got a 5 for a new total of 16
Re-rolled 1 in second set, (9) got a 2 for a new total of 9
Re-rolled two 1's in sixth set (13), got a 2 and 3, for new total of 15 

So 9, 9, 12, 15, 16, 18

Hopefully PC will work tomorrow so I can easily throw out a character on those numbers, instead if tapping it all out on a phone! 

[yutohase]

Hey Angie, is it alright if I have my character already be a resident of the tower for a little bit, maybe as sort of an apprentice or servant for the wizard?

[Layne Spooks]

Definitely interested! I was thinking of a Shadar-Kai blood hunter if you'll allow Critical Role partnered content. If not I'll gladly come up with something else, it'll just have a similar flavour if I can manage.

Original sats are here; 12, 17, 12, 7, 12, 11, Rerolled 1s are here; 5, 5, 3, 5. That leaves my stats at 12, 17, 13, 12, 12, 13.

FEATURES

Historical Knowledge: When you enter a ruin or dungeon, you can correctly ascertain its original purpose and determine its builders, whether those were dwarves, elves, humans, yuan-ti, or some other known race. In addition, you can determine the monetary value of art objects more than a century old.

Darkvision: Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Clockwork Soul: The cosmic force of order has suffused you with magic. That power arises from Mechanus or a realm like it--a plane of existence shaped entirely by clockwork efficiency. You, or someone from your lineage, might have become entangled in the machinations of the Modrons, the orderly beings who inhabit Mechanus. Perhaps your ancestor even took part in the Great Modron March. Whatever its origin within you, the power of order can seem strange to others, but for you, it is part of a vast and glorious system.

Clockwork Magic: You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Clockwork Spells table. Each of these spells counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of sorcerer spells you know.
Whenever you gain a sorcerer level, you can replace one spell you gained from this feature with another spell of the same level. The new spell must be an abjuration or transmutation spell from the sorcerer, warlock, or wizard spell list

1- alarm, protection from good and evil  3- aid, lesser restoration 5- dispel magic, protection from engergy 7- freedom of movement, summon construct 9- greater restoration, wall of force

Restore Balance: Your connection to the plane of absolute order allows you to equalize chaotic moments. When a creature you can see within 60 feet of you is about to roll a d20 with advantage or disadvantage, you can use your reaction to prevent the roll from being affected by advantage and disadvantage.You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Hey Angie, is it alright if I have my character already be a resident of the tower for a little bit, maybe as sort of an apprentice or servant for the wizard?

I'd prefer not unless it's like, really recent. No more than a month or so. 

Definitely interested! I was thinking of a Shadar-Kai blood hunter if you'll allow Critical Role partnered content. If not I'll gladly come up with something else, it'll just have a similar flavour if I can manage.

If there's an official released product that has it, then sure on Shadar Kai. I'll go looking for it but if you know where it is tell me

[Sarah Morgan]

I'll definitely be reading along with this.  There are quite a few characters already, so I don't think I'll be joining in, but this sounds fun.  :)

[AndyZ]

Monsters of the Multiverse has Shadar Kai.

[yutohase]

I'd prefer not unless it's like, really recent. No more than a month or so.

Alright. I'll write up my character concept accordingly. I'm thinking maybe my character recently regained his freedom from a fae thrall and he's staying with the wizard for a little bit while he's trying to get accustomed back to human society.

[Captain America]

I may be missing a trick here but is there a way to load photos into a character sheet write up, without a URL? I'm trying to take stuff I have on my computer and having no success. I can use the web, but I just wanted to find out if I could do it from my own laptop.

[Zaer Darkwail]

Well, the site only allows URL-based linking and not computer file origin images. But if have imgur or any other public image storing place where store your image (or search web original picture with google), that way can find url what to use.

But have heard there is elliquiy wiki where you can store images also.

[Layne Spooks]

If there's an official released product that has it, then sure on Shadar Kai. I'll go looking for it but if you know where it is tell me

According to D&D and Beyond, the Shadar Kai were introduced as a playable race in Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse. The Blood Hunter class is posted on D&D and Beyond's list of classes, but is made by Matt Mercer of Critical Roll. I found them both on that website. If you're not okay with partnered content, my alternate would be a Phantom Rogue (from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything).

[Zaer Darkwail]

If there's an official released product that has it, then sure on Shadar Kai. I'll go looking for it but if you know where it is tell me

As mentioned, Shadar Kai has been officially released by WotC on Monsters of the Multiverse and Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, albeit Monsters of the Multiverse is the 'official updated' version but as GM can allow the use older version.

Blood Hunter is Matt Mercer's creation but is an official third-party supplement provided class (partnered with WotC) and can be found in DnD Beyond.

[Angie]

Very well, I'm convinced. Write them up and I'll see how I like them.

[Layne Spooks]

Awesome, thanks.

Ilrune is originally from the Shadowfell, raised as a worshipper of the Raven Queen. As a show of his loyalty to the Raven Queen, Ilrune trained from a young age to be her temple's protector and warrior, though, after one mission went bad, he began to doubt the temple's motivations. Now, he's seeking to serve the Raven Queen on his own terms, though he's not quite sure what that looks like yet.

My character sheet is here, but since D&D and Beyond doesn't offer a backstory section on their character sheet, I'll leave that here (I can write something more detailed if you'd like);

Backstory

Ilrune's earliest memories were of solitude, cold and hunger. He'd been too young to remember them when his parents had died or abandoned him, or perhaps the memory of them had simply faded from his mind over the years. Either way, the truth remained the same; Ilrune was alone, and he raised himself. He was a feral child, and his only human contact came from shopkeepers chasing him away when he stole food or clothing, or the occasional pitying coin tossed at his trembling feet. He couldn't read or write, and could barely speak, having never held a conversation with another person.

As he neared his adolescence, Ilrune found himself in a temple of the Raven Queen. The holy people there took pity on him, or perhaps saw some value in collecting his soul for the goddess, and took him in. They fed him and named him, and over time they taught him language and other valuable skills. When his strength became clear, they taught him to fight and as he reached his adulthood, Ilrune became the champion of the temple.

They taught him blood magic and showed him how to put it to use. They charged him with protecting the temple and its holy people, and with serving the will of the Raven Queen; revealed to him through them. Usually, he was sent to collect things, mementoes deemed important to the goddess in one way or another, but sometimes he was sent to gather memories and souls for her. It was one of those missions that changed his life.

He'd been sent to collect souls for the Raven Queen, the souls of the parents so that the child might be purified through their fear and pain. At first, he had taken no issue with this, after all, he was proof a child did not need parents to live. However, when he levelled his blade at the mother and heard the anguished cries of her child he felt his resolve waver. Surely his goddess who had taken him into her temple and watched over him all these years would never demand something so cruel? He could not be part of a temple that would inflict such pain upon one as innocent as a child.

He spared the child's parents and fled, separating himself from the temple. Though shaken, his faith in the Raven Queen remains, and he hopes to find a way to serve her that feels true to himself.

Viren Valandar
High-Elf Fighter 1 (eventually Echo Knight subclass, and possibly Feylock multiclass)

Str: 12, Dex: 19, Con: 16, Int: 12, Wis: 9, Cha: 14

Character Sheet

Backstory

At a young age (elven equivalent for around 16), Viren was seduced and captured by a well-intentioned fey prince and made a gladiator as well as one of the prince’s loving and willing sex slaves for… he doesn’t recall how long. But regardless, although he enjoyed living in the Feywild, Viren felt the need to return to his home plane. He has recently managed to successfully fight for his freedom, but he emerged a completely changed young elf, both inwardly as well as outwardly — he now had twin cocks and an ever virginally tight vagina!

Anyways, after regaining his freedom, Viren discovered that he had lost all memory of his former life, friends and family. So he turned to a friendly wizard (the guy with the party tower) to find new connections and a new place in the world. The wizard graciously offered for the young elf to stay with him in the tower. Viren accepted and joined the wizard as a welcomed guest. When the young elf expressed insecurity about joining the guests of the tower in their sexy fun times due to his hermaphroditism, the wizard happily produced a clone, an “echo” for Viren to help ease him into the fun world of the parties. Having spent two weeks at the tower now, he’s excited to meet more people at the tower and join them in their grand adventures, under the guidance of the wizard whom he gratefully calls his master, a title he shares with the fey prince who kept him so close. Viren knows that eventually that fey prince will return to him to try and collect his dues, and he’s both nervous and excited for that day…


^ An example of what Viren's echo would look like.

Hi Everyone! I'm interested in being considered.

Here's my character concept

Name: Ayla Beixina

Race: Wood Elf 
Class: Cleric
Goddess:  Hanali Celanil

Str 13
Dex 18
Con 14
Int 13
Wis 18
Cha 16


HP 10


Passive Wisdom 16 (Perception)
Passive Wisdom 16 (insight)
11 Passive Intelligence (Investigation)
Darkvision 60 ft


Initiative +4

Personality Traits
Nothing can shake my optimistic attitude
I see omens in every event and action. The gods try to speak to us

Ideals
Aspiration. I seek to prove myself worthy of my god's favor by matching my actions against his or her

Bonds
I will do anything to protect the temple where I severed

Flaws
I am suspicious of strangers and expect the worst of them. 

Background
Ayla grew up deep within the forest and was always drawn towards beauty. She was raised to be a devoted follower of the Goddess Hanali. She found beauty everywhere she went and started recording that natural beauty. 

Although many of her kind and satisfied to stay deep within the woods and never leave their shimmering castles Ayla was different. She has had a wanderlust since she could remember, to travel the world and experience the sights and scenes.

She is always gathering herbs and ingredients for making healing potions or enhancing potions. She thinks that enlightenment is only possible when one’s outlook is modified either through potions, magics, or extreme experiences.

Ayla is keenly interested in studying pleasure and hedonism as well as beauty. Unlike most of her elven brethren, she likes getting involved and actively participating.

During one of her adventures she found herself trapped by an item and sent through a portal to the opposite side of the world, near a major point of interest. 

She’s been living in the forest for the last year or two, surviving off of the lands and planning how to spread her mission of healing through pleasure. She became enraptured by the natural ebb and flow of nature in the forest, the life and death cycles and has fully embraced beauty in all of its forms.

She has recently learned there are alteration magics that can enhance beauty and pleasure, this knowledge has fascinated her to learn as much as she can and experiment on both herself and anyone willing to find out more on how to maximize the limitless potential of nature and potion making.

She’s grown adept at making natural potions through trial and error and is inspired by the potions created by nymphs and satyrs. These potions increase arousal and libido to absurd proportions and work rather effectively. She needs to gather all of the rare ingredients, then make sure the potions work, and finally share the knowledge with anyone willing to learn to make sure the knowledge is not only not lost, but fully embraced and able to change the future.

Skills: Brewing Healing and Kinky potions

Appearance: Prefers to wear as little as possible with weapons favored by her Goddess
She is tall and beautiful, made even more so by following her Goddess

Spells
Bane
Bless
Command
Create or Destroy Water
Cure Wounds
Detect Evil and Good
Detect Magic
Detect Poison and Disease
Guiding Bolt
Healing Word
Inflict Wounds
Protection from Evil and Good
Purify Food and Drink
Sanctuary
Shield of Faith

[Chulanowa]

I've got a concept prepped, but it's late and I have work all day Monday! 

Will try to squish it out on time!

[AndyZ]

Definitely hyped for this.  Glad to see others are as well.

[Laughing Hyena]

Well I am ready and raring to go.

[Chulanowa]

Name: River Pepperroot
Race: Satyr
Class: Wizard
Sheet: https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheets/?id=2902016

Background: River's story starts pretty much like any Daty'rs - frolicking in the glens of the Feywild, eating grapes by the handful, drinking grapes by the barrel, and of course wrapping her legs around assorted wood spirits and wrestling partners! 

But that would change with the abduction of the son of Duke Ashendiallen by outsiders! The unseelie lord who ruled the Moonscar Forest decreed that any who could bring his son back - or the heads of the abductors - would be greatly rewarded!

Though not a subject of the Duke, River decided it's never a bad rhing to be owed by a noble, and took several of her friends on an Adventure! Through he forest, over rhe woods, across rivers of clouds and seas of moss they went, with Grignab rhe Redcap sniffing out the trail, Pik and Tyk rhe sprites lending muscle, and River, of course being the brains and charm of the operation. 

Well to make a gratuitously long and overwrought story, - perhaps even an entire campaign one might base a multi-episodic game around! - Short, they found the lad in rhe Mortal world. Turned out he didn't much care for living under his father's narrow, pointy thumb, and had kidnapped himself. Though Grignab pointed out they could deliver the prince's head and still claim the reward, sense and integrity (narrowly) won rhe day, and they just beat the crap out of the guy, bagged him, and booked it to the nearest fey portal!

To say Ashendiallen was overjoyed would be an overstatement. Perhaps he smiled though. Somewhere inside, where no one but the moths that lived in his heart could see. And true to his word, he rewarded each of te heroes - to Grignab he offered a scythe of silver and fire. Pik and Tyk were given domain over a corner of rhe Moonscar Forest, and River was given the deeper secrets of magic, and a wreath of leaves scribed with yet more secrets.

Of course true to his nature the Unseelie lord also punished the four for laying a hand on his son - Grignab traded his iron teeth for a chicken beak. Pik and Tyk's domain was literally just a large pond full of giant frogs and nothing more, and River found that her magic was bound to the mortal world - where Ashendiallen conveniently required eyes and ears (a restriction and task he withdrew as soon as rhe portal closed, stranding River in the Mortal Realms)

Oh well. As a satyr, you always make do with what's on hand (even if it's just your hand you're doing, wink nudge) and surely there's room for one who understand the primal magic of the world as well as River does... even if she's new at it. 

[Angie]

Alriight, I'll get a discord server set and invites sent to the people I'm wanting in the game. I wish I could take all of you, but that's the pain of 5e, any more than 5 and balance becomes "what is that really". Also I haven't DM'd anything for possibly a year or more so I'm wanting to keep this a smallish group.

For now, locking this thread. Thank you everyone who participated!
