Sorry for the late response. I spent the day dealing with college registration issues.

So, correct me if I'm wrong:
Mathfuric: Tiefling Monk/Rogue
Quilltid: Paladin
WhtKnt: Wizard
SenorDeebs: Cleric

With a Vengeance Paladin and a Grave Cleric, it seems like the divine niche is already pretty well covered, so my initial plan of playing a Light Cleric might be a bit redundant. No issue, I think a Bard or Sorcerer would work well for me.

At the moment, I'm leaning toward a Shadow Sorcerer native to Barovia who really wants to leave and believes the party is his ticket out.
I need to get some sleep right now, but I have the day freed to think over this when I'm not nearly falling asleep on my keyboard.

I like it, some more spell slinger would be amazing!

Good luck with registration! Maybe your character knows or has met WhtKnt's character since they are also from Barovia?

Maybe he can be part of the group we are about to travel with, and comes from another village.

They can establish his want to leave over the trip and that he sees the group as his opportunity.

Sounds like a great concept @HueHueBr, and some extra spells will always come in handy. Happy to be dealing with more native Barovians so I can give out secrets >:3.

Good luck with registration; that can always be a pain.

All the @HueHueBr with registration, if it is anything like Australia I do not envy you and the paperwork.

Thanks for the patience everyone. Already submited the sheet, DragonDweller62. Do tell me if it's alright.

@HueHueBr just got to your character. Everything here looks good, but can you walk me through how you bumped up your stats after rolling them? For some reason I'm blanking on how you ended up with the numbers you did, especially how you got that high of a Charisma. It also looks like you should be allowed one more 2nd-level spell slot (but not spell).

Sure.
Rolled: 11, 15, 13, 8, 9 and 14 for stats on Character Creation thread.
Half Elf gives +2 on Charisma and and +1 on two other abilities.
Choose to add +2 on a score at Level 4.

End result:
Str: 8
Dex: 14
Con: 13+1= 14
Int: 9+1= 10
Wis: 11
Cha: 15+2+2 = 19

Edit: after checking the sheet again I see the mistake, I forgot that Half Elf says "and two other ability scores of your choice each increase by 1" and ended putting +1 on Charisma. Should be fixed

I am looking forward to seeing how a Shadow Sorcerer goes, I have not had the privilege to see one in action yet 👍🏻

I took it mostly because it fits very well with the whole vibe of CoS. Crunch wise, it's not very impressive unless one spams darkness spell with Sorcerer Points, so you can see through it, and park inside while blasting ranged attacks.

Decided to go fully into support spells since I find the combat described above lame. Darkness to break enemy line of sight, Mind Sliver to make enemy fail saves, Silverly Barbs to force re-roll, Earthern Grasp to hold down pesky stuff, Vortex Warp to pull allies out of problems or closer to wherever you wish.

I believe mine only damage sources are cantrips and magic missiles.

Ohh thanks for reminding me about the ASI instead of feat, I forgot that would make a big difference. Just approved your character. Looking forward to updating the game around this afternoon EST with the next chapter.

@DragonDweller62 and restrictions on Familiars? I’d love to have a Vulture (just to tie in the Grave Domain aspect)- but not sure if we have to change/reskin the stats so that it lines up with the accepted animals for a familiar. Let me know when you get a free second.

@DragonDweller62, does Irineu knows anything about about Vallaki? :D

@SenorDeebs that's fine, you can reskin the hawk familiar as a vulture.

@HueHueBr you know as much about Vallaki as the other Barovians, which is that it has a wall so it's much safer from bandits, wolves, and monsters. It is also reportedly safe and quite relaxing, and the citizens breathe as easily as anyone can in Barovia. They are quite fond of cheer and wine, but due to the better quality of life they are more suspicious of outsiders.

I’ll do so - thank you!

Hi party. Thanks for being patient during the delay, as I had to take this week for my mental health. Moving the story forward today.

No worries, glad you took time for your mental health!

Absolutely, hope you found the space you needed 😁

Apologies but I think I'm going to exit this game. Thanks for the opportunity!
