A horde of goblins have claimed the dwarven ruins within the mountains as their new home, unaware of Tovrog the red dragon that resides in the caves, not far from the ruins. He fears that his hoarde is in danger of being stolen by the goblins so he sends out his mightiest warriors to get rid of them.
In this oneshot you will be playing a kobold on a mission to defend their masters valuables. There will be a good amount of combat and not so much puzzling.
If you are interested create a character after these guidelines:
Kobolds only. If you want to play something else, give me a good reason. Ignore the -2 to strenght and apply the +2 dex to any stat you want. (use the override function for this)
starting level is 6th level
All official content, UA is allowed. For other content, feel free to ask.
Start with standart equipment, 100gp to buy additional items, 1 rare or more frequently available magic item (Common, Uncommon)
I am interested and just wanted to know how you want us to do stats. Also due to going back and listening to the first season of Critical Role I was just wondering if I could try the Gunslinger subclsss?
Backstory: Reelq is one of the many kobolds that serve Tovrog. Unlike most of his cowardly kin, Reelq shows not only their cleverness for traps and the like he also shows skills with fighting with both melee weapons and guns. Once after raiding a carvan the dragon went through and took what he want, leaving a single but functional Pepperbox pistol and a few cases of bullets. Several other kobolds tried to learn how to use it but always ended up giving up after it either misfired or they could not find out what it was. While if was unfortunate after seeing another of his tribe shoot himself while looking down the barrel of the gun, Reelq was able to then finally figure out the gun. Since then he practiced with the gun, becoming an expert with it through trial and error. It was with luck that Tovrog raided a few more caravans and got more bullets as kept were used up in learning to use it.
I figure that his magic item would be replaced with the Pepperbox since it costs so much. As for the 100 gp I will probably use it to get a healing potion or two just incase there is not a healer.
Background: Entertainer (Tovrog's Personal Musician)
Backstory: Some say TF is the son of Tovrog...well actually only TF says that, but what is true is that TF has legitimate dragons blood coursing through his veins. How it got there nobody needs to know...but it was definitely not a heroic story of past lineages flowing down to TF. What's also true is that TF is Tovrog's preferred musician, only musician, well only one willing to be demeaned constantly and still play their instrument. And if you continue to look into TF's backstory you'll find a moderately unpleasant reason why they now possess their magic item, an epic Wand of the Warmage, which Tovrog definitely is. All that said though, and with the loyalty of Tovrog to TF not at all in question, it's no surprise that Tovrog would get chosen to go into battle for Tovrog, and show his enemies the might of Tovrog's dominion!
Taken with his masters might Swolbold tries time emulate Tovrog’s fearsome presence. Having trained to push his strength to the extreme he even developed some more draconian traits.
Backstory: Torvog is many things, but a fool is not one of them. Sometimes you need a softer voice to acquire things, or more than oftenly, undermined them. And what better way than use sly old Hanz "The Cook" Greentongue. While not a fighter in the traditional sense, the old and many times reincarnated Kobold would ensure the others completed their mission before dying. It's she's been given -- lent a special little staff to make that task easier.
@Treewy Out of curiosity, could we substitute the 'Grovel, Cower, and Beg' Trait or Pack Tactics trait for a 30ft Flying Speed from being an Urd Kobold(Winged Kobold)?

I have to say im not a huge fan of racial flight as it is insanely powerfull. A lot more than giving advantage once per round. I will have to pass on that sorry.
Also what is a charmbold? Kobold with the +2 in charisma?
Class: Monk - Way of the Sun Soul (flavoured using the radiance of our Lord Tovrog to power his radiance)
Backstory: Knock Out was the runt of his clutch. He had always been picked on by his broodmates when he was younger. He would wake up on his back in the middle of a ring of other kobolds asking "What happened?" "Knock Out" would be the response. He got so used to the term he adopted it as his name.
Through feverish training spanning years, Knock Out became a master of the ring, champion for the underdog. He puts his skills at the whim of Mighty Tovrog, whatever he may ask.

Your 1st post: Ignore the -2 to strenght and apply the +2 dex to any stat you want. (use the override function for this)
I misinterpreted this note, and didn't fully override the dex bonus swap. Fixing now.The Charmbold thing was a joke. Similar to the Swolbold one another one made.

Abaddon the Black, red half dragon Paladin of Conquest. He is ill-tempered, forceful and demanding who has a vendetta against any who would oppose the chromatic dragons. He sees himself as a Talon of Tiamat - an executioner; whose role is to weed out the corruption within the church of Tiamat and excise the wound (kill them), clean out the puss (their supporters), so that the chromatic dragons may grow stronger. He has made it very clear on many occasions that it was by the Grace of Tiamat that they were spared (he has acted of behalf of his dragon Queen to save numourous peoples).

Forever DMing with ideas for characters. My characters: Abaddon: Dragonborn Conquest Paladin of Tiamat. Eyrendil Ginn: Half-Elf Swashbuckler Rogue/Pirate. Wear boots with spurs so is always heard coming.
I would love to join your game, but I have limited knowledge when it comes to 5th Edition. I have played D&D in almost all of its versions (I am 47) and I am looking to get back into playing. The reason I chose PbP is that I am currently disabled and can not drive. I am a very fast learner and open to anything!
Thank You James

Standart array or point buy for ability scores.
Gunslinger will be ok since it will only be a oneshot. Just give him a (small) reason to have exlpodies

Wanted to express interest. Will flesh it out once I get home.
K.O.
Class: Monk - Way of the Open Hand
Backstory: Formulating now.
Need to finish out the backstory and such but here’s my rough submission.
Swolbold
Path of the Beast Barbarian
Taken with his masters might Swolbold tries time emulate Tovrog’s fearsome presence. Having trained to push his strength to the extreme he even developed some more draconian traits.
Name: Eldon
Race: Kobold
Class: Artificer 1 / Wizard 5 (gravity mage)
Background: Sage
Backstory:
Eldon is a learned kobold. He tells everyone he knows just how learned he is. He studies books and everything.
Name: Hanz Silvertongue
Race: Charmbold
Class: Bard(Creation)
Background: Spy(Specifically, Torvogs)
Backstory: Torvog is many things, but a fool is not one of them. Sometimes you need a softer voice to acquire things, or more than oftenly, undermined them. And what better way than use sly old Hanz "The Cook" Greentongue. While not a fighter in the traditional sense, the old and many times reincarnated Kobold would ensure the others completed their mission before dying.
