Dungeon Overlords vs Adventurers! D.O.V.A (Dungeonbuilding, 5e D&D, NC-Exotic)

[Laughing Hyena]

Thanks! Awesome to see this is still going ^^
Hey! Long time no see. Isn't Mara technically still imprisoned by your character?

Question @Kathyan, how are you currently in terms of overlords?

Technically, yes... but if you want a fresh start and her possibly looking for vengeance, then we can say she escaped. Maybe one of the other captives helped her slip away with some sabotage by letting loose some wildlife from their cages? Or she slipped her bonds whilst in transition to another dungeon (to be used as rescue bait.) Or she can show up in a dungeon as well if you want. I am quite flexible.  ^_^

Dex doesn't add to AC if you are using heavy armor but since you chose protection style his AC is still 19 but note this is not based on his dex.

And  since you don't mention any feat I assume you are going with the regular human who gets +1 on all scores so your final scores would be 16,12,14,14,9,14. is that right?

Everything else looks okay.

[Max]

No, the stats should be right.  Thought I had already added the bonus in for the stats.

I thought that the Protection meant that I could help out a nearby ally, with my shield, making someone attacking them suffer Disadvantage?  Do I get the AC bonus as well?  Or did it get changed?

Was looking for some suggestions for the monsters that might so scare her.  Don't want something that might never come up, but not something that I'd likely be seeing to much of at her low level.

I have a couple of images, one of them is a real life pic, is that okay.  Some are okay with that, some not, just want to be sure before going on.

Finally getting to work on the character, looking at doing a wood elf living weapon monk with a background as a show fighter.

The stats still confuse me. 11 does not grant a modifier of +1 but 0 and the modifier of 13 is not +2 but +1, futhermore going by point buy and using the regular human you can't have 16,11,13,13,8,13 (you would still have points available) but you can have 16,12,14,14,9,14.

About the protection, yeah you are right I got confused with the defense style so yes you can impose disadvantage on an enemy attacking a nearby ally. Your total AC should be 18

Monster suggestions, I assume that's for her background, right? I'd ask first what sort of creature are you more or less looking for? something humanoid, vaguely humanoid, more beastlike, with tentacles, slimy, or any creature type in particular? There are so many monsters that I could suggest.

And I have no problem with RL pics and nobody has complained either about a couple of players using them either so if you want to use RL picture go ahead, you can also use both if you want.

Okay :) , remember though that new characters start at level 1.

[Max]

Was using an online point buy generator.  Will go back and look at it.

As for the monster, yeah, was for her background.  Something with tentacles would be kinda cool, but not sure how like that would be to come up.  I want something that will come up, but not something that will always come up.  Probably humaniod of some type, or something with tentacles.  Orc might do, but maybe lizard man, if they would do...  that.  Or something along those lines?

Okay.

Um, maybe you could be not too specific with the monsters and say goblinoids (as to include goblins, hobgoblins and bugbears) or scalykinds, or even some specific humanoid plus their allies (which you might or not specify) leaving that open for the future. In the case of tentacles you could also say mention a tentacled beast cause her to develop a fear for anything that resembles a tentacle to give you broader possibilities of finding such a creature, options then could include octopi, assassin vines, a roper, or even animated ropes to name a few.

[Max]

Okay, went back, looking at my stats, and you were right.  Sr 16, Dex 12, Con 14, Int 14, Wis 9, Cha 14.

Thinking about hobgoblin for the foe she fears.

Sounds good, just remember her AC should be 18 since dex doesn't add with heavy armor in 5e.

And hobgoblins and tentacled creatures, or just hobgoblins?

[Ershin]

May I ask if this is still open for new adventurer applications?

[Kathyan]

Yes we are.
