i rolled initiative, it was 16

OOC: I think you have to roll using the built-in rolling function, we can't just take your word for it. Also, as to my magic item, can I ask why I can't have it? I didn't find it while adventuring or something, I bought it for 100 GP, so I should be able to have it.

[Where does it say the gauntlets are 100GP? The character builder has it listed as (Cost: --) meaning it can't generally be bought for gold. If I'm missing something let me know, I don't mean to deprive your character, I just want to be fair.]

[Ame did roll initiative, I just was confused; okay, if it's a 16 he can go before the Kenku. I know he approached the Kenku but don't think he attacked yet.]

[OOC: In Xanathar’s guide and probably Dungeon Master’s Guide, it says uncommon rarity magic items are 1D6 X 100 GP, I used the low end of that spectrum because I was checking like weekly or so]

[Huh, haven't read Xanathar's Guide to Everything so it very well might say that. Well, Waterdeep is cosmopolitan enough that you might actually find something like that on sale; if the other players are okay with you having an item like that to start with I can roll with it, just don't want to upset anyone or have anyone be jealous.]

Never played a pbp game where we can start with magic items and higher than a 27 point buy set of stats so if we all can, then I'd be in favor! If just one player though, then I think the others would find that less cool...

[Well my character bought it, so it wouldn't make the most sense if the rest of the characters just have one, but if you pay for it, then yeah, I'm all for that idea]

the attack/spell im using is this

 [Ame: Did you roll a melee attack for your spell to see if it hits? Sorry if you did and I'm just not seeing it.]

honestly, my dumb ass forgoto about that part 8

[On further thought, I'm going to put my foot down about starting with magic items, regardless of what sources may or may not say. Dwaye has his 100 gold refunded; since you may have chosen his stats with the gauntlet's bonus in mind you may change your stats if you would like. Also everyone make sure that your character stats are either 27 point buy or standard array. Sorry if this is disappointing but I want to keep magical items well-earned.]

 Ame, hand gathering shadows, descends the stairs and attempts to touch one of the Kenku, but misses.

[Okay, I've updated my character sheet, outside of changing the backstory to not include the Gauntlets, that's too much work. Stats now: 16 Str 11 Dex 16 Con 12 Int 10 Wis 10 Cha]

[Sounds good, thank you for being a good sport about it.]

[No problem, also it looks like everyone has gone that has a 16+ initiative, the Kenku should be able to go now]

[Going to give people that haven't until 3:00 PM mountain time to roll initiative before the Kenku act, since I said I would, though I'm not 100% sure there's anyone that's active that hasn't rolled. Until then, have a good evening everybody!]

(OOC: still here lurking and waiting jump in)

[You can roll initiative if you'd like, players appear out of nowhere all the time in this game, haha.]
