Hey, does anyone wanna join in on a campaign called Lightning Keep with me? Vitus is DMing.
Sounds interesting!
Awesome. For character generation, stats are
4d6 drop lowest If you roll and don't like the results also feel free to use Standard Array or Point Buy.
Stick with official content. (So no Bloodhunters or Humblewood.)
If you need something from the PHB and don't own it, I can try to help you out. But I don't have content sharing.
No backgrounds that grant a feat.
+200gp for buying equipment. Please include receipts for buys/sells.
It's a lv3 one-shot.
And the blurb about the adventure,
A marauding dragon has laid waste to numerous villages, devouring some residents while displacing others. It strikes without mercy. No one knows where it came from, where it lairs, or how long it intends to terrorize the realm.
But there is hope. Long ago, a werewolf knight of great valor used her wealth to raise a bastion at the edge of the wilderness. This castle had the power to generate a lightning shield around itself—a shield powerful enough to break sieges and keep monsters at bay. The castle was abandoned shortly after the knight passed away. By then, peace had settled across the land, making the stronghold unnecessary.
Villagers displaced by the dragon ask you to travel to Lightning Keep and rid it of any threats. Rumor has it the lightning shield is powered by six magical lightning rods. If you can find these rods, perhaps the lightning shield could be reactivated, allowing refugees fleeing the dragon to use the keep as a sanctuary.
Cool! I only have access to the very basic of the basics, but that’s ok, cuz I think I have a cool character? He’s a draconic sorcerer moon elf (I chose green for the ✨Aesthetic✨) I think I can make him rn actually. Should I roll on here to make sure I don’t fudge the numbers?

What's a moon elf?
And yes please roll here.
A type of high elf. They’re purple and blue
How long till this ends?
Also moon elves are high elves.
Still looking for people. It's meant for 4-6 people so slots are still available.
And it's a one-shot. So probably (given the pace of PBP) would be 1-2 months or so.
Actually, I changed it to Fighter/Barbarian, that way I only really have to worry about Strength, not Strength AND Charisma.

Hi there! My name's Elk. I'm NoiSilverheart's doppelgänger. I'm a demi/grayromantic, socially awkward Okie who may or may not be a pyromaniac. *random confetti blast*
I'm a warlock of the Archcrone, and my patron is TheFriendlyArchfey. I was nicknamed AchatesCervus8337 by VitusW and given the titles "Swashbuckling Scorcher", "The Unpredictable Jedi", "Burning Fury of the Ancients", and "Combustion Knight" by DrummerBoyDragonSlayer.

Our characters will even each other out. I put 17 on my charisma and strength is my dump stat, tho to be fair, while I have a quarterstaff I also chose folk hero bg so I could have glassblower stuff, so I decided to make the quarterstaff a mfing BRASS PIPE *pipe.mp3 here* still bludgeoning damage, and I think a brass pipe would also just look cool

You'll be the guy who tries to reason with everyone by talkin' it out, and I'll be the dude that screams incoherently while bashin' their brains in if I need to get them to do something!

By the way, my guy has the Faceless background. So be prepared for him to constantly be switching from his true self to his murderous as f*** persona.

Depends on the caster.
Most sorcerers and wizards need to spend a slot on mage armor to have decent AC. And shield costs a slot and a reaction.
But if you pair with something that gets a form of armor such as Draconic, Lizardfolk, Loxodon, Thri-Keen, etc. Then you can get the best of both worlds.
