Hello, folks.
@htech, I am excited to be able to adventure with you again!
@runekyndig, we've crossed paths before. Looking forward to working with you. As an aside, your character drawing is exquisite!
@kwll, I don't think I've had the pleasure of campaigning with you before. I'm glad that is changing 😊.
I try to get into my character's head when I game PbP, so if I say something that is insulting or rude, please forgive me AND point it out so that I don't repeat. Also, GM, please reach out to me if you feel my actions/roleplay are not forwarding the adventure as you envision. It's in all of our best interests to ensure YOU are having fun!

@htech Ancestories and background do you have any information on those?
In D&D terms I would go with Tiefling and a criminal background to fit this Robin Hood / Figthing for the little guy theme

Flameborn. 1 of your neutral saves is advantaged

Avraham says:
I see multi/dual class is a GM option (page 55) Will you consider it?PS: But an Entertainer background is ok. =) You dont need the Songweaver special abilities to sing/dance/tell stories.
That background would translate into an Advantage for some tests. And, of course, it would give you the lore/roleplaying reasons to represent yourself as a bard anyway. ;)

@kwll for next steps, you can:
1. Choose 4 skill ranks
2. Submit the character for GM approval, and I’ll help you fill in the remaining fields and walk you through the available options.
If you have the rulebook, feel free to move ahead and complete the whole character. If not, no worries at all — I’m happy to help you through it step by step.

Just keep in mind that your "blindfolded" sword fighting works as a stage trick—you’re cheating by reading your partner or even using previously agreed cues and positioning. In real combat, fighting without sight still applies normally: you’ll take Disadvantage when fighting in darkness or while actually blinded.[/ooc]Also, regarding your style for text decoration, I try to use it in all games in which I partake, as I think it helps clarify a lot, although my red/green split may be different than yours, and sometimes I'll use another color if needed. Also, what I always do, is if I am delivberatly trying to whisper, or talk sotto voce, I will use cabin font. So if you see that, please assume I'm vocalizing, but trying to be discreet.

I just submitted Igrem, after picking 4 ranks in Arcana, Influence, Lore & Perception.Start with the flavor and we can define the mechanics (what you will receive as a bonus/advantage) after that.
Jan 11, 2026 6:20 pm
Well, I clearly aimed Igrem as being a Wizard Apprentice, so I guess the Sage D&D background applies? I don't have the Nimble rules, except the basic ones, so I don't how it translates in this game.
Jan 11, 2026 6:22 pm
@kwll I’ve added your spells to your character sheet. As a Mage at level 1, you know 6 cantrips from the Fire, Ice, and Lightning schools.
Right now you have 0 max Mana, so you can only cast cantrips — but you can cast all of them by spending just actions.
When you reach level 2, you’ll unlock your mana pool (equal to (INT × 3) + your level), and you will also gain access to tiered spells that do cost mana. I’ve placed a spoiler on your sheet so you can see what spells you’ll get then.

I don't have the Nimble rules, except the basic ones, so I don't how it translates in this game.To represent what you learned during your apprenticeship, you can choose one of the following benefits:
- Learn one Utility Spell, taught to you by your mentor; or
- Gain advantage on Lore checks related to one specific field of study or creature type (for example: History, Geography, Undead, Fey, Ooze, etc.).
Let me know which option you prefer, and if you choose Lore, what your area of expertise is.

I choose Lore related to Dragons.You start with a Staff, Adventurers garb, Camping Supplies (Bedroll, rations, simple tent), a book on Chromatic Dragons, a backpack, bottle of ink, a quill, parchment and a pouch with 25 gp.
Would you like to start with anything else you bought in Neverwinter?

Well, I don't know if light armor is allowed to mages in this game, but it could be useful while out in the wild. Aside from that, the usual rope and torches / lantern could be a good addition.

@runekyndig,@kwll, regarding answering Jacob, I'm fine going with the idea that we were all enlisted separately by Gundren/Sildar so there is no need to coordinate stories OOC. Our characters are getting to know each other as well.

If you can bear with me, I usually have my characters drawn for me (by a human), and this might take a few days.

Great!
Just so we can manage our expectations, and because—at least in my case—Nimble is a new set of rules, but what is your method for giving XP. Do you award it on your own and inform us when we level? Is it only calculated/applied at logical "story breaks" or do you tally it per encounter? Do the characters require training/downtime or is it automatic? Thanks!

It is automatic, and we will use this OOC thread if you have any questions. =)
[ +- ] Level up
When a hero gains a level:
•HP Increase. Roll your Hit Die with advantage and increase your max HP by that much.
•More Endurance. Your Hit Die max increases by 1 (it is typically equal to your level).
•More Skilled. Gain 1 skill point. Additionally, you may move 1 point from one skill to another (as long as the skill points doesn’t become negative), reflecting your hero’s evolving expertise and priorities.
Note. The maximum bonus a skill can have is +12.
•Class Features. Gain new class features for your level. This may mean increasing your mana pool, new spells, or even selecting a subclass!
•Other Adjustments. If any of your base stats increase, remember to adjust other elements of your character sheet as needed (skills, damage, Initiative, armor, mana, languages, etc.).
