Honestly... I'm looking at Gloom Stalker, just because I suspect Mick will be working my backstory into the campaign and being able to hide in the dark might become very useful :P

doesn't work so well with the archery though

Prince North Læraðr

Hehe, you can be gloom stalker buddies!

(I'm also Gloom Stalker)

Mithical

4:14 PM

nice

Prince North Læraðr

And tbh it's actually not that bad with archery. You can just hide and snipe people. Just know that making an attack will alert ppl where you are, so you'd need to move

bobble

Rangers get all these fancy sub-type choices, while my main Decisions are which spells I have prepared from my very long list of available spells.

Prince North Læraðr

Ah yup

If you want good spell list, definitely go Horizon Walker. By far has the best list of spells

Fey Wanderer is good if you want to look hot and also be good with Charisma skills and stuff

Mithical

not super interested in looking hot, not high on Kith's list of priorities

bobble

Fey Wanderer is Sexy Ranger, and Gloom Stalker is Spooky Ranger, is what I've got from this

Mithical

4:21 PM

where's sassy ranger

Prince North Læraðr

Hm

Hunter's pretty sassy

> Slayer's Prey
Starting at 3rd level, you can focus your ire on one foe, increasing the harm you inflict on it. As a bonus action, you designate one creature you can see within 60 feet of you as the target of this feature. The first time each turn that you hit that target with a weapon attack, it takes an extra 1d6 damage from the weapon.

^ That's actually Monster Slayer

"you can focus your ire on one foe" :P

Mithical

Searing Smite or Hunter's Mark, hmmm...

Prince North Læraðr

Well, you'd need to make a melee attack before it triggers for searing smite

Mithical

Searing Smite would be useful if I suddenly find myself in battle at close quarters (like the jackal). The magical arrows presumably already give me an advantage when making a ranged attack.

Prince North Læraðr

Honestly, Hunter's Mark is just better :P

Your Spell Save DC isn't that high, so there's a good chance that the monster will be able to save their Constitution DC

Hunter's mark just deals d6

Mithical

4:28 PM

Hmm, does Gloom Stalker give me an advantage when I cast Fog Cloud?

Prince North Læraðr

Not really

Remember you can't see through the fog either

And Gloom Stalker has to do with lighting

Mithical

true

Prince North Læraðr

You'd need to also learn a spell like "Control Flames" (or force Johnny to learn it) in order to maximize effectivity

Mithical

in that case, Hunter is probably my best option at this point - it's the most versatile

Prince North Læraðr

Alternatively, at level 4, you can learn blind-fighting (by ditching archery) and learn darkness at level 5

Mithical

4:31 PM

@PrinceNorthLæraðr you've convinced me

Prince North Læraðr

:P

We have the same spells now :P

Except I also have disguise self, which might(?) come useful?

Hunter is very versatile, but just know you can only pick one from your choices at 3, 7, etc.

Mithical

Do I add hitpoints etc. at this point as well?

Prince North Læraðr

Yup

Additional 6 health + Constitution mod

Mithical

so going from 20 to 28

Prince North Læraðr

Damn

bobble

4:35 PM

haha i still winning

Mithical

hit dice stay the same?

or no, I add another

Prince North Læraðr

@Mithical Nope. You gain one more hit die

So you'd have 3d10 now

Mithical

yep, just saw that

Prince North Læraðr

;-; me with 26 health

Mithical

anything else I should know? anything else that changes?

Prince North Læraðr

4:36 PM

You get primeval awareness

bobble

yesterday, by bobble

> Beginning at 3rd Level, you can use your action and expend one Ranger spell slot to focus your awareness on the region around you. For 1 minute per level of the spell slot you expend, you can sense whether the following types of creatures are present within 1 mile of you (or within up to 6 miles if you are in your Favored terrain): Aberrations, Celestials, Dragons, Elementals, fey, Fiends, and Undead. This feature doesn't reveal the creatures' location or number.

Prince North Læraðr

^

bobble

I get 9HP on level up, hah

Prince North Læraðr

@bobble grumble

Mithical

saw that - meant in terms of like spells, proficiency, etc. that I need to change on the first sheet

bobble

4:37 PM

5 + 3 + 1 = 9 :D

well maybe put any new combatty spell in the Attacks area?

Mithical

hmm

Prince North Læraðr

You could. I'm double-checking, but looks like you got everything

Which thing did you take for level 3 hunter?

Mithical

yesterday, by Mithical

I rather like Giant Killer for a tiny halfling, actually

Prince North Læraðr

Ah, right

Sciborg

9:24 PM

i love the idea of Kith being a Giant Killer because literally everyone qualifies as giants compared to a halfling

and it's adorable

Prince North Læraðr

9:57 PM

Hehe

But it's "Large" or larger

Can "giant killer" just apply to everyone bigger than Kith's size? :P

Sciborg

Yes :p

Prince North Læraðr

11:03 PM

Haha

I don't get how it works though

Ohhh, wait nvm I for some reason thought it was opportunity attacks

Holy crap Kith

So basically, any character that's Medium or larger gets attacked by Kith with reaction

That's literally like 90% all enemies encountered

That's HILARIOUS

bobble

wait doesn't that already happen?

I'm confused

I thought you could always opportunity attack at close range

Prince North Læraðr

No, Giant Killer isn't an opportunity attack

bobble

oh so you get 2 opportunity attacks, essentially?

Prince North Læraðr

No, it's completely different

It's when an enemy that's Large or larger misses or hits you with an attack, you can attack immediately afterward given you are within 5 feet of the monster

bobble

unlimited per round?

Prince North Læraðr

11:07 PM

No, it's a reaction

bobble

you're still confusing

Prince North Læraðr

I'll just paste the description

You get one reaction "move" per round

> Giant Killer. When a Large or larger creature within 5 feet of you hits or misses you with an attack, you can use your reaction to attack that creature immediately after its attack, provided that you can see the creature.

So yeah, Kith can only do it once per round (provided she still has her reaction) but it's still really good because most Large enemies or larger are solitary

Except, DM seems to have allowed Giant Killer to work for medium or larger creatures for Kith because that's funny and awesome :P

Sciborg

11:27 PM

I mean, i was mostly kidding, but if Mith makes a convincing argument for a specific enemy i might allow it :p

Prince North Læraðr

11:38 PM

Hehe

Prince North Læraðr

11:48 PM

@Sciborg Kith: EVERYONE IS LARGER THAN I AM YOU GOT A PROBLEM DM FIGHT ME

Sciborg

If I allowed it for every enemy, it would overpower the heck out of Kith :p
