Adventurer's Guild (5th Edition DND)

[Landshark]

Interested...quick stupid question here. The stat line you posted is before racial bonuses yes?
Thinking rogue/swashbuckler...or Sorcerer/Storm origin. Both from the Waterborn Unearthed Arcana.

[Lyku]

Yes, those are before racial and those are acceptable classes.

[Landshark]

Not that the Storm Sorcerer is required to be at sea but i was just wondering if there would be sea fairing adventures at times? No big deal if not, just curious.

[Lyku]

For those with a beginner's license, probably not.  Earn your reputation and you may find yourself travelling.

[Landshark]

Fair enough, thanks

[Lyku]

I'm having second thoughts on Unearthed Arcana... I hate Eberron...

[Zaer Darkwail]

Just ban Eberron related stuff from there ;)

[Lyku]

As much as I hate Eberron, this is the story of the players, so i am not banning any of it.

[Chulanowa]

How could anyone possibly hate Eberron? Eberron is best!

Actually, both are updated in the Sword Coast Adventure's Guide and work a little differently, especially the Storm Sorcerer.

Also, I may be interested in joining as an Undying Warlock if the abovementioned book is allowed.

[Bibliophilia]

I decided against making an Aasimar, for now.  I'll likely mock one up later on, because I'm a sucker for the nephalim.

I'm going human wizard well-versed in blastomancy.

[Chulanowa]

And I will be your Barbarian for the evening (Which is totally different from My Barbarian...)

[Ershin]

I was considering building a Tiefling Rogue/Arcane Trickster if that's okay?

[persephone325]

Just so I know what information I need, is there a link (or links) that I should look at? Besides the one(s?) already posted?

Personality

I fall in and out of love easily, and am always pursuing someone.
Flattery is my preferred trick for getting what I want.
Material goods come and go.  Bonds of friendship last forever.
I owe everything to my mentor - a horrible person who's probably rotting in jail somewhere.
I'm convinced that no one could ever fool me the way I fool others.

Background

Zystrina has the androgynous blessings of Corellon Larethian, though often considered to be female when not closely examined.  The Elven pronouns of zye/zys/zyr are loosely preferred, but since the Common tongue has no direct translation, zye responds without objection to whatever zye's called.

Certainly adopting and holding to a single manner of existence isn't part of zys lifestyle.  Growing up on the streets, zye was taken in by a group of criminals that has since been disbanded, treating zyr like an actual person instead of just an elf or a drain on society.  Everyone has their own desires, ways of living, hopes and dreams.  That includes Zystrina, who has grown quite a taste for the female form as zye grew up.

Those who trained zyr, however, ended up going too far in trying to con a temple, and Zystrina thankfully didn't go along.  With all the evil, greedy and corrupted people of the world, it's hardly necessary to go after those who provide genuine aid and assistance for people.  Zye'd much rather make the world a better place whenever possible.

It wasn't that difficult at all to sign on with an adventurer's guild, putting zys talents to good use.

Ershin, I was planning Rogue as well, but I'll more likely go the Thief archetype.

[Landshark]

Actually, both are updated in the Sword Coast Adventure's Guide and work a little differently, especially the Storm Sorcerer.

Also, I may be interested in joining as an Undying Warlock if the abovementioned book is allowed.

yeah i dont have that book yet unfortunately. If its ok with the GM ill use the Unearth Arcana if not ill go a different route

[Ershin]

Having a bit of a hard time trying to decide on the background aspect of the character. It's a tough choice between Entertainer and Sage, with Guild Artisan (or rather the merchant variant from the PHB) as an outlier. Slightly leaning towards Entertainer because it seems fun, but Sage would be a neat, fluffly thing to have as a future spellcaster and investigator of dungeons.

[Chulanowa]

Hmmm. Just trying to decide if I wanna go human or half-orc for this guy. -Chin scratch- Definitely going Outlander, maybe a sprinkle of sailor, depending on how hte character goes

[Bibliophilia]

My wizard is a sage with a sprinkle of others.  -giggles.-  I....speak....slowly...so...stupid people...will...understand...me.

[Chulanowa]

Grip the sword like it's part of yourself... wait...

Background

   Taran never knew his birth parents. There are foggy memories of "mata" and "tata" and the Very, Very cold, but when he thinks of family, it's the wolves that he remembers. The warmth of the pack, the careful nips of his dam, the howling and hunting. Somehow, the toddler lived and thrived to become a child, and then some, under the open sky and bough.
   Perhaps he would have stayed like this forever, becoming a youth, then a man among the wolves... But the Sulta-Quah found him first. A nomadic tribe of humans, they had come into his pack's territory, and when stories of a wild boy running with wolves became known, hands were dispatched to "rescue" him.
   it was a hard time for the boy, taken by these two-legged giants who couldn't howl. But they were kind to him, and they had food, and a pack of their own. Slowly, surely the child learned and grew, and though always different, "became human." While his wolves were always a warm memory, Taran - as his new people called him - learned joy with other men and women.
   At the firm age of thirteen summers, Taran sought manhood. Among the Sulta-Quah, only those who had undergone the rituals of adulthood were permitted a voice in council, a true place in rites, and of course the right to bed. Further only men may wield the magic of steel, for such weapons were rare for the tribe.
   Together with four other boys of the Sulta-Quah, Taran underwent the trials and tests of manhood. The ritual hunt, the gauntlet, the sharing of man's lore. The second night, the boys were to meet with the ancestors of the tribe, called by the shaman to bless them. It was going well until the old witch doctor cam to Taran, and cried out in a language far removed from the Sulta-Qua. Many voices poured from the old one, calling for revenge, for memory, ghostly red stags bounding from the shaman's smoke.
   What had been a time for boys to become men had become a shock from the spirits; the men - the true men - consulted, and reached an agreement. Taran was to seek his own people, and prove himself that way. it was not an easy decision, but hte spirits had clearly spoken. That they happened to be the spirits of a dead tribe only made the situation more clear.
   Set with his quest, Taran was granted provisions, and set out into the wilderness with a heavy heart. Perhaps he would have rejoined the wolves; their distant songs tempted him, surely. Maybe he would have simply starved. But fate had its plan for him, and landed him in the company of adventurers. Together with his new friends, he explored the land, plundered ruins, fought monsters. In the four years since, he's met with many off people and nonhumans indeed, and seen a great many very interesting things.  It's at their behest and guidance that he has come to the Adventurer's guild, and though the strictures are chafing, it's good to have a "tribe" again... even if he is aware that it's not truly either of his. Some part of him worries that he is offending his ancestor's memories or the Sulta-Quah's taboos (For instance, he currently carries a steel sword) but.. .well, this isn't the land of hte Sulta-Quah,and he's learned very little about his birth people, so... Take it as it comes.

Hmmm, I am pondering on picking either figther or paladin. Likely human (or elf for paladin).

You'll want to pick up the Player's Handbook.  D&D Next doesn't have a free SRD the way Pathfinder does.

It does, however, have some free rules for a few races and classes.
