@bobble Because, unlike in IRL ping-pong, where you have to hit the ball sharply and are not allowed to keep your paddle in contact with it for an extended period, in this version you're allowed to drag on it.
(I have a bus that leaves a little after seven, which means I need to be awake by a little after six. You can see how starting a campaign at midnight the night before would be problematic.)
Equipment You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background: • (a) a wooden shield or (b) any simple weapon • (a) a scimitar or (b) any simple melee weapon • Leather armor, an explorer's pack, and a druidic focus
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus I read the desciprtions of most of them and then just picked one... I figured the DM can work around it if I picked badly since I'm inexperienced and the DM is not
> The wood of a club or Quarterstaff you are holding is imbued with nature's power. For the Duration, you can use your Spellcasting Ability instead of Strength for the Attack and Damage Rolls of Melee Attacks using that weapon, and the weapon's damage die becomes a d8. The weapon also becomes magical, if it isn't already. The spell ends if you cast it again or if you let go of the weapon.
If they allowed Moon Druids to have metal armor, they would have massive hitpoints at later levels and crazy high AC, which would be incredibly unbalanced. So they limit the armor to help balance them.
so, you see the spot on your character sheet about "Attacks & Spellcasting"? the first box is for weapon name, second box is for weapon modifier (Str/Dex/etc + proficiency bonus), and the third box is for damage.
> A druidic focus might be a sprig of mistletoe or holly, a wand or scepter made of yew or another special wood, a staff drawn whole out of a living tree, or a totem object incorporating feathers, fur, bones, and teeth from sacred animals. A druid can use such an object as a spellcasting focus.
If you use a focus, you disregard material components of spells unless they have a stated gold cost.
eye focus is being wonky again today so i can't tell which box is which, but it's like GP, SP, CP, etc. and it should be in your background what you start with
@bobble Inspiration is something the DM gives you when you did something really cool. You can spend Inspiration to get an advantage on a roll (meaning you roll twice and choose the higher number.)
@Mithical Each of us should block out all available times on a grid, and see whether & where everyone overlaps. If not, @Sciborg do you think it could work asynchronously?
Actually, I prefer not to be on my phone in general unless it's text messaging
My phone is... unpredictable with other things
But definitely NOT texting while I'm walking
Friday is probably the best time (though that'd be midnight Saturday for Msh and Mith), followed by Saturday (I can't 100% guarantee I'll be online, I might have stuff happening)
@PrinceNorthLæraðr midnight Friday night into Saturday you mean? yeah that's impossible for me and, I believe, for Mithical too. Likewise for Saturday until after local nightfall (which is currently about 15:30 UTC, but give it another hour for me).
my work hours are kinda weird and sporadic right now, but in general I work 8:00AM-5:00PM my time on weekdays (Detroit time, 8:22 PM), and i could make free hours after that on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
translated to UTC i think it would be 5 hours ahead, so 1:00PM UTC-10:00PM UTC
That's okay - it will be a little unfortunate due to limiting the character interactions, but we can make it work. Maybe I'll have it just be two parallel mini-campaigns set in the same world but different parts of it.
And stuff that happens in one campaign affects the other, and vice versa
You and msh are in the same time zone, and I think Gray is near your time zone but I'm not sure when he is most free. Maybe we could put you two together for sure and then bobble and North together, and then figure out what group Gray fits best in.
