Pregame Q&A and General Information

Level up!

HP: 13+8=21

New abilities:Skills:
+1 to Perception (2 => 3)

A slow down for the holidays works for me
maybe do some in town background chat equip up etc

I like that plan :) And that will give our new player a chance to get up to speed.

Hello everyone! Thanks for the invite AriaNocturne!

A holiday hiatus/slowdown works for me as well. I'll go over the rulebook, catch up on the story, and have my character submitted in the next few days.

Is there anything in particular I should be aware of regarding the story/PCs?

The short . . . In Tavern (classic), Ruckus outside, gobin attack defeated but their leader took the local Faerie (Moonblossom). We set out tracking them to nearby woods with a bad reputation, Entered the wood, scared off some wolves, found the goblins, killed the goblins, saved the Faerie. Returned for food, rest, and reward (70 gold = 17.5 each + Faerie totem).

Lol! That's a a good synopsis! You also earned a lot of love from the people of Merivale and their resident faerie, and discovered a cryptic map with a note scrawled on the back.

Welcome aboard, ctme2000! I believe we also established that our Hunter, Thorne is a stern, no-nonsense type, our Oathsworn, Caldra, is solidly paladin-esque, and our Cheat, Kessa (me), is loyal but scoundrel-ish -- think Han Solo in the interval between ANH and ESB.

@ctme2000: Vilde earned a level up after the last adventure, so you get to make some character choices right out of the gate. We can talk about the whole process and brainstorm on options if you like. I'll be available over the hiatus. Also, if you'd like to run a one on one just to get a feel for what's different about Nimble, I'm totally down for that. :)

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays everyone!

Thanks AriaNocturne, Xmas was busier than expected. I'll have some time this weekend to take a detailed look and submit the character.

No questions atm, but is there anything specific the group is lacking that the wizard can fill?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to y'all as well!

i think the team is designed to be balanced and see no major gaps. Area affect damage and/or field control, a wizardly mainstay, are the only thing I can think that would benefit the group. Caldra just got access to her own set of spells so will be able to help support ranged damage (Rebuke), a buff (Truestrike), and more healing

The major constraint of this system is the rest and recovery mechanism. I like it as it puts a bit more realism on when/where you can get full health and abilities back. Read up on that as it affects the spells you recover

I couldn't have said it better myself! We also have another player interested in hopping on for the next crawl who will be playing a Zephyr - Nimble's Monk. I spose the only thing we're lacking (and only partially because Caldra has some healing powers) is a dedicated healer. But with all the firepower you all have, it doesn't seem like the baddies are around long enough to make that an issue. >.<

Nice, the monk is my fave class, curious to see how it plays in Nimble.

Are we level 2 or 3 now? Seems like 2 but wanted to confirm.

The main reason we skipped 5e was our dislike of how healing/rest worked, so anything that makes it more meaningful/interesting works for me.

Edit: Disregard my question, finished the story thread, level 2 it is!

Vilde, Level 2 HP increase

@AriaNocturne, actually I do have a question. You mentioned some character choices to make w. the level up, but looking though the rules pdf, don't see anything specific mentioned for wizard at level 2. Am I missing something?

Other than that, charcter (finally) submitted!

Are we talking about the character called "The Mage" in the starter rules? If so, the info is on the character sheet itself, under the name.

I am back. Looking forward for the next chapter. =)

Yup, I don't see any character choices to be made until we hit Level 3, unless there's something y'all homebrewed that I missed? Either way, let's rock and roll!

Ah. I guess maybe we're saying different things. There are Level 2 abilities that are gained, but no choices to make. The Cheat is the same way - fixed new stuff at Level 2 and a subclass choice at 3.

Happy New Year and Welcome Back everyone!

@timplausible: You're right, there aren't any choices to make re the Mage abilities at lvl 2, but you do have 1 skill point to boost one of your skills as well as rolling for the additional HP.

Which reminds me - did everyone take their +1 to a skill for levelling up?
