Gigglecake Posted January 26, 2023 Clone Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) Sorry. Another question... would it be a disadvantage to getting picked for the game if I chose a character that didn't start out with Darkvision? Like I was thinking of making a Stout Halfling Ranger (eventually going into Gloom Stalker), but she wouldn't have access to Darkvision until third level she picks up Umbral Sight which includes always-on darkvision. If it would be disadvantageous to getting picked, I'm definitely willing to try a different character.

Melkar Posted January 27, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted January 27, 2023 She’ll be ok. There is light provided from some of the fungi dotted around the Underdark and I’ll make sure there are torches for the group to scavenge in the meantime.

Neopopulas Posted January 27, 2023 Clone Share Posted January 27, 2023 It seems pretty obvious but.. you never know. I have a question about races, can we pick any race from the allowed sources?

Svartalf Posted January 27, 2023 Clone Share Posted January 27, 2023 I mean, some of us will likely want to play Drow... certainly the kind not liked by the Lolthite priesthood, but Drow, possibly neither lawful nor good BTW, are there alignment preferences/restrictions? I can play party oriented evil characters, but some DMs still take no chances, and I can roll with that.

Melkar Posted January 27, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted January 27, 2023 No alignment restrictions, I'm going to trust players not to roll up a party-murdering maniac 😄 Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svartalf Posted January 27, 2023 Clone Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) evil characters that hurt their own party are not actually evil, just very dim and completely insane. Of course, if the party includes extremely good paladins or the like, maybe playing evil was a suboptimal option, as the clash is hard to avoid.

Melkar Posted January 27, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted January 27, 2023 I guess it depends on what perspective you come at it from. I don't necessarily believe that inter-party conflict is a bad thing if its kept in check and doesn't come to violence, and players can separate IC from OOC (and believe me I wish I could say that that was a common sense statement but I've seen soooo many players incapable of separating IC from OOC before I've lost track). A party full of people all getting on with each other all of the time isn't particularly realistic IMHO so as long as inter-party conflict is handled responsibly then I don't mind having a juxtaposition of alignments in the game.

Chaz Hoosier Posted January 27, 2023 Clone Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Hate to be the guy who pushes the boundaries at character creation, but can Boz have a spellcasting focus that looks like an innocuous necklace that a higher status slave might wear? Say, a colorful bit of seaglass or the tooth of a mysterious animal on a leather strap.

Melkar Posted January 27, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted January 27, 2023 Unfortunately not, you will not start the game with any equipment at all, that includes foci. That's not to say you won't find equipment after the game begins, but you certainly won't start with any.

Also depends on the level of 'conflict'... Vigorous debate on methods, ways, means, and goals can be a good thing, but if it goes up to party members going their separate ways or actively working against each other... it spoils the fun. Also, things that might be acceptable and manageable in RT gaming no longer are so with delayed modes of playing, due to excessive waste of time and bogging down the action.

Chaz Hoosier Posted January 28, 2023 Clone Share Posted January 28, 2023 Heh, when I DM I just don't accept players that are obviously intent on not getting along well with the other characters. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
