Sign up for narridi front (4/5)

[balto]

Hello, my names balto and I will be dming the narridi front. I am new to dming so please dont hunt me down.

  Please message me if you have any tips/comments/questions about the campaign.

I have dm a campaign for 2 months and played 2 campaigns as player.

There is magic use in this campaign but still somewhat realistic until i can make a way 


Please give out the following info for your character:

Species
Gender
Name of character

role(aka class) For example if your a ranger, you'll have the ability to throw rocks with deadly accuracy(bows can be made with some monkey business)

Stats
Each player, in the signup thread for a given roleplay, will put the following attributes of their character in order of their best to their worst:

Strength: Strength is a measure of muscle, endurance and stamina combined. Strength affects the ability of characters to lift and carry weights, melee attacks, damage, certain physical skills, several combat actions, and general checks involving moving or breaking objects.

Dexterity: Dexterity encompasses a number of physical attributes including hand-eye coordination, agility, reflexes, fine motor skills, balance and speed of movement; a high dexterity score indicates superiority in all these attributes. Dexterity is the ability most influenced by outside influences.

Constitution: Constitution is a term which encompasses the character's physique, toughness, health and resistance to disease and poison. The higher a character's constitution, the more hit points that character will have.

Intelligence: Intelligence is similar to IQ, but also includes mnemonic ability, reasoning and learning ability outside those measured by the written word. It also affects certain mental skills.

Wisdom: Wisdom is a composite term for the character's enlightenment, judgment, wile, willpower and intuitiveness.

Charisma: Charisma is the measure of the character's combined physical attractiveness, persuasiveness, and personal magnetism. A generally non-beautiful character can have a very high charisma due to strong measures of the other two aspects of charisma.

(If your magical and need spells, just google them from dnd 5th edition or pm me and ill send you the pdf book)

*Anything else i didnt cover (tidbits, fun facts or something that makes your character act a certin way,etc) This is NOT NEEDED but if you want me to learn more about your character, go for it.


I do not believe is static bosses(Im making my bosses be less static, so im giving them uniqueness so be careful when picking a fight.

Important npc will remember you or you must make a npc go from basic level to advance(causing harm to important npc, grevious emotional and physical damage to a basic npc,etc)

Hope to see ya'll in the nirridi front




New: give your character at least one flaw

[macam]

I'll bite.

Species: African Savannah Hare
Gender: Female
Name of Character: Zabuni

Role: Bard(College of Lore)

From left to right, Best to worst: Charisma, Dexterity, Wisdom, Intelligence, Constitution, Strength

Spell Roster:
Cantrips, Prestidigitation, Minor Illusion
Level 1: Cure Wounds, Sleep

Don't know the specifics of how you're going to handle equipment and what not so this is all I can currently offer. Character is fleshed out in link above.

[balto]

Oh, i forgot about inventory and equipment. But ill leave that up to the monkeys with their opposible thumbs.As you go on this adventure you'll find additional things that allow you to hold things or to make yourself well equiped.You might stumble upon them in your travels(maybe a body?) Who knows what you'll find. As for armor, weapons and the like, that seems to be in a merchant type area if you find one.However, as they most creatures may not have hands, the type of stuff is usually low items.The best of those types will have to be found with monkeys.


Thanks for being the first to volunteer macam

[macam]

Not a problem. A good tabletop session is always welcome. On the nature of equipment and all I figured that most Animals would retain their more feral forms, hence the blankness there.

[balto]

Well, I am hopeful that we get a few more players.On a side note the map will be posted soon, i had back to back essays and im bad at time management.
I've been trying to figure out how a lion with a bow would work out

By sunday the map will be posted

[Voidborne]

Dark sword attack, camp protection.

Background:

Coming Soon

[macam]

Your role would be the specific class you want to play. Classes can be found here. For the sake of your sanity I'd ignore the walls of text and simply start clicking on class links to the right. Avoid the 3rd party links.

If not for whatever reason(confusion/slow internet) possible class choices are:

Barbarian
Bard
Cleric
Druid
Fighter
Monk
Paladin
Ranger
Rogue
Sorcerer
Warlock
Wizard

Each link to each class will have a list of spells near the bottom if it is capable of casting spells.

Ex. Wizard Spells.

[balto]

There are more classes if you wish to do homebrew but for sanity on the user, pick any from regular dnd

[balto]

Actually im going to make the map available once we get ready to play, make things more dynamic.On a short note welcome aboard shade.On a high note i realized that a couple of my bosses might be too dark soul level hardness soo i softened them up.

Im also making the tread for the map, questions and some other threads.

P.s i bookmark all my thread to try and get messages in a timely fashion at least within a day response.

[balto]

Im also gonna ask for at least one flaw for your character; your flaw can be anything from being a glutton- to really addicted to certain meats.If you wiah to play more than one character you can.

[macam]

Additional Zabuni details in light of new requirements.

Entertainer Background

Routine - Singer
Personality Trait - Knows a story for every situation
Ideal- Traditionalist
Bond - Would sacrifice greatly for members of the warren
Flaw - Fear of personal ineptitude, Failure towards allies or friends. Weak hearted despite intentions.

[balto]

So far a lion and a hare will be grouped together, rather interesting interactions. Also the flaw is required everything else is just fluff for me to know about characters. *Also make your character have an alignment, i forgot to add this(good,bad,neutral) and sub alignment(chaotic, neutral,lawful)

[macam]

Zabuni's alignment is Neutral Good

[Voidborne]

Shade's aligment is Good Neutral too, and sub Aligment is Chaotic Neutral

[macam]

By alignment and sub alignment he means choosing one of each side and pairing it up. Ex. Chaotic from the right and Good from the left.

There are 9 alignments in total:Lawful Good
Neutral Good
Chaotic Good
Lawful Neutral
True Neutral
Chaotic Neutral
Lawful Evil
Neutral Evil
Chaotic Evil

Choose one of these(You had the right idea). If you need help, consult this page on a description of Alignment personalities.

So for example, under said description, Zabuni's alignment is Neutral Good. Alignment Good, Subalignment Neutral. Using the alignment/subalignment above it would looks like this:

(good,bad,neutral) and sub alignment(chaotic, neutral,lawful)

[Voidborne]

I'm so bad at this thing

[macam]

Pfft. D&D isn't exactly the first game I'd recommend anyone try for tabletop, despite its popularity to be quite honest. There are a few simpler rulesets out there, but in this case that's why we're here! To help with these things!

I doubt much of anyone who played for their first time can say they didn't have the same amount of trouble. I know I was pretty awful when it came to rolling dice on my own and confusion about attacks and stuff. Luckily you though at least in this context will not have to deal with that stuff :3

So don't feel bad. First time is always rough.

[balto]

Literally Lions and Legends is an abridged version of pen and paper dice roll games. D&D is just a popular pen and paper game but at the same time its complicated. If you look at d&d 3.5 you really have to understand what your doing as their is a lot more stuff in it than the current 5th edition.The 5th edition is supposed to make the game simplier and user-friendly but its a lot of reading. I know macam wouldn't recommend to new people which is fine, i didn't understand it myself but i believe that is not only the books fault, its also the dm's job to help new players understand what they read.

However, when me and my friends play it, we don't use everything in the book,only things that are relevent to us like we don't use death saving throws or all the currency.Its the dm's choice in what he/her wants to put in their game and the players act upon it.
If someone is new and doesn't understand the book, that person in my opinion shold always ask their dm for a trial run.The trial run not only helps the dm help its player as they would create a scene and the players act on that scene.

[balto]

For instance, lets say your in the Hooked Clam, a infamous tavern where many a bar fight has occured.You find the building at the edge of town sagging near the water from bad construction support. You and Macam enter the bar and find that its full as you tread through oceans of drunkards.

I as a dm would stop here and you and macam would act upon it.
(So this would be the d&d version) lets say macam wants to fight the biggest drunk and beat him down.The dm sets the stage: Macam walks towards the pool table which is the loudest part of the bar and the loudest person named Big Ben. Macam walk closer to Big Ben.

Now as a dm we have a framework we make like a puzzle which has all the pieces in place. When the campaign starts players add pieces to the puzzle with their responses. This is fine for the player as this allows the player to do whatever they want and still able to get a response.For the dm its a nigtmare as players are adding pieces to the puzzle thats already completed; they dont match or their sizes are off, etc
So macam can say he picks up a pool cue to hit Big Ben with.Now i never explicitly told macam theirs a pool cue in the room so I would tell macam to roll for perception; he rolls a die and things happen from there

[balto]

In Lions and legends, im doing the same thing except macam doesn't roll, i as the dm decides what happens.Macam doesnt need to roll perception as that is under the cloud of intellegence.

For instance, macam could say he searches for a pool cue and i can answer his request as: Macam finds a pole cue under the pool table... or macam searches for a pool cue but in the midst of the crowd cannot find anything...
Macam would then figure out his response from there

[AtiyaTheSeeker]

Greetings, folks. Was interested in joining up myself, so hope it's all good. I'll be joining in as my character Atiya, who I need to rework. When I get the profile finished, I will edit this and post it in this reply. For now, here's the L&L info on her...

EDIT: Here is Atiya's profile.

Name: Atiya of Ash-Pride
Species: Asiatic-African Lion
Gender: Female
Class: Cleric (War Domain)
Alignment: Neutral Good
Background: Folk Hero
Fatal Flaw: Is too hard on herself when she fails at something; if it's something really serious...

Stats, Best to Worst: Wisdom, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Charisma, Strength.
Domain Spell: Divine Favor.
Spells, Cantrips: Sacred Flame, Spare the Dying, Thaumaturgy.
Spells, 1st Level: Cure Wounds, Shield of Faith.

PS: Shade, if you'd like a suggestion on class, maybe go Warlock with your character's darkness powers? And as a veteran of D&D, retro and new, I can definitely help you out if need be. Like was mentioned before by Macam, D&D's not the easiest tabletop RPG to learn for beginners, but we know our stuff.

[balto]

Hello AtiyaTheSeeker and welcome to the campaign; I'm happy were getting more people. I'm looking forward to the update in post.

[AtiyaTheSeeker]

Hey again. Thank you for the welcome; have updated with the completed profile. :3

[balto]

Im not sure to say this but ill probably will start and still be open fore at least two more sign ups. A group of 4 or 5 is a good group anything more than that is a cluster of failure.So be prepared.

Um so nice, also ill be figuring out the currency and stuff.

Also as a reminder, if you want to play more than one character you can.

[balto]

Hey AtiyaTheSeeker, for your character is your "rage" blind?
I define blind rage as not only being an endangerment to oneself but to others as well and does your character have a fatal flaw?


Side note: we have officially 2 lions and one hare, what could go wrong?

[macam]

"What could go wrong?" - Said every person ever not expecting a potential party wipe

I'll add another character in a few hours or so because I do not like RNJesus's vengeful quotes in regards to taking chances haha.

[balto]

Well its two lions with a decent alignment, im pretty sure your safe macam. I've never seen a lion eat or attack a hare so the odds are in your favor.

Edit 2: macam you might need some protection just in case.

I asked google and the odds are not in your favor. On a side note i think your still safe,because no one has a flaw about loving hare meat or something like that. I mean unless there are serious hunger needs which may cause an issue but you should be safe. Remember even though this is a fantasy setting there is still realism. Which is why...you should always be careful.

[AtiyaTheSeeker]

Ah! I can't say Atiya's rage is so much endangering to her allies so much as self-endangering. As for her fatal flaw... I'd say she's too hard on herself for failures, both minor and major? Edited my character info post with such.

EDIT: I need be, I'm tempted to include a hyena character I'm working on, but I'd rather see if anyone else is interested in joining first...

Okay so your rage is just rage then also what is your alignment?

You can always make another character without waiting on others

[AtiyaTheSeeker]

*nods* My alignment is Neutral Good; I had it listed in my profile post, I think?
