[OOC] Table Talk

[Goldmyr]

I’m going to keep the grouped initiative I usually use. I’ll make initiative rolls in whatever post initiates combat.

[Goldmyr]

Hey Draco, if I read your post right. It sounded like you wanted to split off from the group just a hair to speak with some of the family members a tad? Did I read that right. The family would still be in the bonfire courtyard, just not right under the party’s feet.

[DraconigenaArma]

I suppose, if just to make sure his dad is present and sober. What with Ethram demanding the family be there I assumed he'd have a designated "place" to stand during the ceremony, even if not a prominent position, though nothing's been specified yet so it's all very nebulous and I'm making assumptions.

[Goldmyr]

Okay. Sounds like we were on the same page, then.

[Goldmyr]

Hey, Shadow. I just realized that you don't have a character sheet for your roc animal companion listed. Could you get one posted, please?

[PaleShadow]

Oh for sure! I'll do that right now

Edit: Quick question, I feel like I saw this somewhere but just to double-check, are we doing average HP after level 1? I only ask because animal companions start with 2HD

Edit: Sheet is up in the Adventurers section! I went ahead with 4HP at level 2 (avg d8 is 4.5, rounded up to 5, minus 1 for low CON) but if I did that wrong I can adjust. The only thing kinda funny about Vol is that he has an INT of 6 and has put a rank in Linguistics to actually learn Common. His little bird mouth can't make words of course but he should be able to understand well enough.

[Goldmyr]

You remembered correctly about the average hp after 1st level. So, that's a total of 11hp right? Keep that bird safe!

Do you want him to talk? I know that birds are capable of mimicing human speech. A fully sentient one would probably be able to communicate rather well.

[PaleShadow]

Might have him talk at some point, though he probably won't be able to articulate as well as a humanoid. For now he'll certainly understand everything in common perfectly well, and even better once he smartens up a little. He is just a baby still after all!

And for sure, though he has more HP than Shalara, so he'll be keeping her safe for a bit haha.

[FatherDondo]

Sorry it took me a minute, but I think I made up for it, lol

[PaleShadow]

Hey FatherDondo, great opening move! Just wondering how you got DEX to damage for the pistol? Never played a gunslinger before so just curious. Even if that was a mistake I'm sure the crit will annihilate that goblin regardless.

I was wondering the same thing.

[Clawsome]

Sorry all. Out of town unexpectedly the next couple of days. I will try to post when get internet.

Do guns not use DEX? I thought that was standard for ranged weapons, or is my 5e showing

DEX to damage is a very rarely occurring event. Only Slashing Grace, Fencing Grace, and Dervish Dance as feats allow for it. Agile weapons exist, but they are only for melee weapons. Unchained Rogue's get Finesse Training, which allow them to use DEX with a couple of Finesse weapons, but not Ranged.

Gunslingers do get Dex to damage with a preferred type of firearm at 5th level. Not at level one though. I very much missed that when I was going through your character sheet.
