For the record I haven't forgotten about this. I will be getting my character up later tonight - or at the very least the mechanical side of it. Just juggling the last few character concepts. Probably going to be playing a paladin of some flavour.

Are you sure we're supposed to pick the hook? I'm kind of new to DMing personally, but a lot of that info sounds like it was meant for DM eyes only :/. Also working on charrie some more, should be basically finished soon.

So, usually in my Pathfinder games, I give my players full HP. I'm willing to go with that since this is going to be a fairly long campaign.

Sounds good, and probably a good choice since in my experience 5e can be pretty lethal.

I imagine the first half of each entry was something we are are allowed to see. The 'you are to infiltrate X', 'fire cultists burned down your family' etc would be useful for integrating ourselves into the campaign. The 'you get inspiration for X, Y and Z' bit - yeah we were probably not supposed to see that. Ah well. That's why there is a division between IC and OOC knowledge.

Here the crunch for my character; Iados, tiefling paladin.

I'll be writing up the fluff at some point. Crib note version is I took the 'Seeking Revenge' adventure hook; fire cultists put the village myself and my mentor were staying at to the torch, killing just about everyone and everything. I survived solely due my infernal heritage (read: fire resistance) and managed to drag my burned-ass corpse to the nearest town/inn to recover. I've made it my personal mission to track down and reduce the fire cultists population into the single digits - my preferred digit being 0. All in the name of justice of course. Totally not a blind-revenge-rampage or anything silly like that. Where would you even get that idea?

For those who aren't up of Forgotten Realms lore Hoar (pronounced exactly like you think it is) is a lesser Faerûnian deity of vengeance, poetic justice and karmic retribution. For all intents and purposes feel free to treat it as though I worship Tyr like every other paladin in FR though - Hoar is subservient to Tyr anyway so it works out.

After actually reading the hooks, yeah, some of the info does seem that it would have been hidden from the players. On the other hand, I'm not overly concerned about you knowing that you'll be getting a boon down the line. I mean, the only way you'd know what boon really matters is if you already have read the book, so if that's the case, you'd know even without me saying anything.

Sorry, I got real busy and didn't have time to copy down all the hooks.

So, I was considering making a surfer druid, brah, but I kind of want to update Obed and play him since the Mines game never got far at all, and it'd be interesting to play a character who may be more sympathetic to a cult to elemental water than whatever losers he's hanging with this time.

Oh, no worries DS. I'll be doing the best I can to keep the game moving. I'm just kinda.... lost in the grandeur of it all right now since I'm new to 5E. A lot to keep track of and all that jazz.

I'll write the fluff for Kitar's background in the next couple of days, but in summary, he was the captain of the Aarokocra's scouts until his squad was attacked and killed during his shift (I'm making a small variation to the "Settle a Score" hook, if that's ok), lefting only him alive. A Wizard used magic to put him to sleep before the attack, but Kitar couldn't prove it, so his superiors banned him due to that supposed failure. Now he seeks revenge and to regain his pride between the ones of his race.

Also, Squinty, I can give help with the rules too, if you need :)

Incidentally I don't think Great weapon fighting is quite the same as brutal. Don't have my book, but I believe we recently discovered it only lets you reroll the damage once.

Good point. I'll add something to the effect of 1/roll in there.

The first post has been updated with links to character sheets, as well as a listing of the players who have informed me that they are rules lawyers for 5E, who I will be relying on heavily. There may be a newcomer to the forums who wishes to play, and aside from that, I'm waiting on DS to post me their sheet. And Mown, maybe. Still not sure there.

Some Jesus person told me to post here so express interest in games or things.
I'll make a proper character sheet tomorrow when I steal the 5E books from him.

uh
Depends on whether I find my .pdf (or a new one) or not. It wasn't where I expected it to be.

You should stick me in as a rules lawyer as well. Ya know just so both lists contain everyone. It's funnier that way.

would searching for information on a great old one from below the waves be arcana or religion?

Arcana usually. They dwell within the Far Plane - beyond the realm of the deities.

You seem to be full, but I'll express my interest in playing.

I actually intended my first post to be an /in, but ultimately, I'll abstain. I guess I'm still really apprehensive about anything DnD.
