Assaulting the Kingdom of Asmodeus (5E, Kingmaker possible, Interest Closed)

[Laughing Hyena]

Sweet stuff. Would like to also express interest but if this winds up as discord rp, I have to back out.

[c0i9z]

I don't know why I said goblin. I meant barbarian. Loads of barbarians. So I'm think either the first as an artificer or the second as a monk.

Artificer?

Monk?

[Terian]

I can probably do either Eldritch Knight or some kind of Paladin I think.  Just know that I'm not going to try and intentionally lose, because half the fun from my book is trying to beat the setting when it tries to turn it into a lewd hellscape :)

I can also do an Armorer Spec Artificer too, but maybe not for my first character.

[ZameRagues]

Already feel like your barbarian and my artificer are gonna butt some heads.....

A thought.... would it be helpful for worldbuilding if we described a bit the lands our characters come from?

You're welcome to write up and share as much as you'd like.

Until something changes, the game will be here on E. Anyone is welcome to ask me questions through Discord though.

[Terian]

Might do an Echo Knight too, I just need to find a character reference that I like before I start working something out...

[Laughing Hyena]

Awesome, I shall bring in some more busty witches and wizards to the group.

Ara ara~♡

That sure is an awfully busty witch! On that top, big fan of the Artificer Goblin faceclaim, c0i!

[Laughing Hyena]

I'll try the 4d6 method but if point buy was decided on I'll heed it and abide by the standard 27 others are using.

[FoxgirlJay]

I did 4d6 keep 3 method personally. Got a 16 15 13 12 10 10

Elemental Adept (Electricity): Spells you cast ignore resistance to damage of the chosen type. In addition, when you roll damage for a spell you cast, that deals damage of that type, you can treat any 1 on a damage die as a 2.

Fey Touched: Gain +1 Intelligence. You learn the Misty Step spell and one 1st-level spell of your choice. The 1st-level spell must be from the Divination or Enchantment school of magic. You can cast each of these spells without expending a spell slot. Once you cast either of these spells in this way, you can’t cast that spell in this way again until you finish a long rest. You can also cast these spells using spell slots you have of the appropriate level. The spells’ spellcasting ability is the ability increased by this feat.

-Class Features-

Arcane Recovery: You have learned to regain some of your magical energy by studying your spellbook. Once per day when you finish a short rest, you can choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than half your wizard level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher.

For example, if you're a 4th-level wizard, you can recover up to two levels worth of spell slots. You can recover either a 2nd-level spell slot or two 1st-level spell slots.

Evocation Savant: Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, the gold and time you must spend to copy a Evocation spell into your spellbook is halved.

Sculpt Spell: Beginning at 2nd level, you can create pockets of relative safety within the effects of your evocation spells. When you cast an evocation spell that affects other creatures that you can see, you can choose a number of them equal to 1 + the spell's level. The chosen creatures automatically succeed on their saving throws against the spell, and they take no damage if they would normally take half damage on a successful save.

-Background-

Sage (Professor)

Researcher: When you attempt to learn or recall a piece of lore, if you do not know that information, you often know where and from whom you can obtain it. Usually, this information comes from a library, scriptorium, university, or a sage or other learned person or creature. Your DM might rule that the knowledge you seek is secreted away in an almost inaccessible place, or that it simply cannot be found. Unearthing the deepest secrets of the multiverse can require an adventure or even a whole campaign.

Personality: "As a teacher, I'm used to helping out those who aren't as smart as I am, and I patiently explain anything and everything to others."
Ideal: "What is beautiful points us beyond itself toward what is true. Nothing is more beautiful than our passions in life."
Bond: "I work to preserve a library, university, scriptorium, or monastery. Oh~ Such is the life of an eternal student."
Flaw: "Most people scream and run when they see a demon. I stop and take notes on its anatomy~♡"

Could make anything with these.

[Laughing Hyena]

Nice ones. Not done with the sheet as I need to do inventory and spell selections but I hope you can see what I'm trying to make.

[Polymorph]

Spent 200 GP on a couple of healing potions, just in case Broot needs to get party members back on their feet. Converted the remaining 300 GP to platinum to save weight. Not really anything else a barbarian needs to buy. Armour she can afford and is proficient with would only add +1 to AC with her unarmoured defence and ruins the aesthetic of the barbarian in just a loincloth and a couple of leather straps. Would wait until she can afford half plate maybe.

Goliath's powerful build feature means her carrying capacity is 480lb so Broot could stick a couple of shortstacks or even a shortstack and a light human on each shoulder and still move at 40ft per round as all her gear is less than 100lb. Just a thought if we needed to increase the party's overall speed or run away.

[HopeFox]

For character creation go with 500gp.

Once the group is more established, plate mail and magic items can be purchased or requisitioned using the treasurer.

Is it possible for wizards or other characters with a spellbook (tomelocks, characters with the Ritual Caster feat) to pay to start with more spells in their books? I'm contemplating taking Ritual Caster, though that might not be too useful in such a large party.

[HopeFox]

"Great, now one of us is going to have to change outfits!"

Felwyn is a tundra barbarian, though, so I expect we'll have quite different aesthetics. Sheet in progress!

Goliath's are resistant to cold and Broot is path of the berserker, so I guess losing the clothing altogether is an option and just having a belt for pouches, handaxes etc.

[Terian]

Okay, so, at the end of the day, I'm looking between an Echo Knight or Battlemaster Fighter, a Paladin (Either Devotion or that one more civilization based one) or an Armorer Artificer, looking for a front line Defender one way or another.

Still debating a reference image at the moment, but on the whole, I'm going to be playing to try to win, and probably picking up the role of the Martial focused representative of the patron organization, because I like empire building too, and delving deep into all of that will be the Fun Stuff.

My big worries are the whole "If we're too successful, are we just going to be scry and died by CR You+lots demons teleporting in and kidnapping you to set the clock back?"  possibilities of course.  Admittedly, I'm also concerned that there'll be a stylistic clash going on, since as mentioned, I'm kind of going to be trying to be the one trying to actually win rather than find the most convenient way to Lose, and if I'm in the minority, I'm probably going to find myself either being the gadfly pissing off the other players, or getting frustrated and just leaving either.

Of course, I've finally got some time to think on all of this now that I've got some free time, but I want to be sure that the expectations are okay before I go through the effort of banging out a finalized sheet.

[FoxgirlJay]

What's given you the idea that the others and myself are interested in trying to lose?

[Terian]

Paranoia mostly, I've gotten into a few games around the internet where the expectations thing got out of hand and so I always try to do a vibe check before I commit.

[Laughing Hyena]

It's why I'm picking spells that help her escape as well as deal with lust fueled company.  She is of a too kinky to torment mindset so if she winds up on her back she'll be fine. But the other idea is to outlast the tormentors. So yes I'm aiming to at least try to not get wiped out.

[Terian]

Good to know!

Anyway, since we've got an Artificer coming in, I'll stick with the Fighter, is Echo Knight a permissible subclass?  That plus a polearm should make for a rock solid Defender setup.

That's part of why I'm going armorer- Can't remove the armor by any means unless you have a null magic field

[FoxgirlJay]

Gloomstalker's stealth + being a goblin makes her sneakiness only thwartable by True Sight in low light conditions. For my Satyr... Strong against magic, big AC, powerful subclass, etcs. I don't intend to lose. But if it happens, well. Oh well.

[Laughing Hyena]

Heck if I can in game research some blue magic I may do so. But I do of course have several spells for perversion potential and for very close situations.

The likes of mage hand and shocking grasp are such spells I am selecting. Armor and Misty step is the obvious oh shit spell. Witch Bolt for themes of being a lightning mage.(If only I can turn it non non lethal for... reasons.)

LOL, so we can expect sneaky long distance nipple tweaking and jilling to keep us distracted?
