The Sundered Way - OOC

[spiderwrangler]

Xanathar's has new racial feats, as mentioned previously. These are the ones relevant to your races!

Dragon Fear
Dragonborn

• Increase STR, CON, or CHA by 1, max 20
• Instead of using your breath weapon, you can expend 1 use to roar, forcing each creature of your choice within 30 ft to make a WIS save (DC 8+profic+CHA mod). A target that can't see or hear you automatically succeeds. On a failed save,
  the target becomes frightened of you for 1 min. If the frightened target takes any damage, it can repeat its saving throw, effect ends on a success.

Dragon Hide
Dragonborn

• You manifest scales and claws reminiscent of your ancestors
• Increase STR, CON, or CHA by 1, max 20
• Your scales harden, while not wearing armor, your AC can be 13+DEX. You may still use a shield.
• You grow retractable claws that can be extended or retracted for no action. They are a natural weapon which you may use to do unarmed strikes for 1d4+ STR slashing damage.

Fade Away
Gnome

• Your people are clever, with a knack for illusion magic. You have learned a magical trick for fading away when you suffer harm. You gain the following
• Increase your DEX or INT by 1, maxx 20
• Immediately after you take damage, you can use a reaction to magically become invisible until the end of your next turn or until you attack, deal damage, or force someone to make a saving throw. Once you use this ability, you can't do so again until you take a short or long rest.

Flames of Phlegethos
Tiefling

• You learn to call on hellfire to serve your commands
• Increase your INT or CHA by 1, max 20
• When you roll fire damage for a spell you cast, you can reroll any roll of 1 on the fire damage dice, but must use the new roll
• Whenever you cast a spell that deals fire damage, you can cause flames to wreathe you until the end of your next turn. The flames don't harm you or your possessions, and they shed bright light out 30 ft and dim light for an additional 30 ft.
  While the flames are present, any creature within 5 ft of you that hits you with a melee attack takes 1d4 fire damage.

Infernal Constitution
Tiefling

• Fiendish blood runs strong in you, unlocking a resilience akin to that possessed by some fiends
• Increase CON by 1, max 20
• You have resistance to cold and poison damage
• You have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned

Prodigy
Human (or halfbreeds)

• You have a knack for learning new things
• Gain 1 skill proficiency, one tool proficiency, and one lanaguage
• Choose one skill in which you have proficiency, and gain expertise in it. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any check you make with this skill. The skill you choose cannot be one in which you already double your bonus.

Squat Nimbleness
Gnome (or other small)

• You are uncommonly nimble
• Increase your STR or DEX by 1, max 20
• Increase walking speed by 5 ft
• Gain proficiency in Acrobatics or Athletics
• You have advantage on any Athletics or Acrobatics checks to escape grapples

Is this the healing force between Maji and Zephyr's relationship. After this commercial break...we'll find out.

Depending on how the rest of this goes, Ulmwin might write a ballad about it.

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

I'm a gonna guess no go on the ballad.

[BadgeAddict]

Awww why not?

[thinkslogically]

"The tale of that time we murdered a kid's pets, then chased him down and killed him too" doesn't quite have the heroic ring to it that we might want to build a reputation off

[spiderwrangler]

What was Zephyr's suggestion for a party name? The Killers or something?

[NotStickFigures]

He was about to attack us without warning until Coljin saw him on the rock, and then he tried to warn him not to attack as he had a lot of friends here who would not worry about fighting, and that he should just stand down. So, even our good priest has no remorse about the dead young dragonborn.

[Arch Lich Burns]

So the only one that feels a bit of remorse is the Evil Druid?

[spiderwrangler]

So the only one that feels a bit of remorse is the Evil Druid?

Maybe there's hope for him yet.

For the record, it was Zephyr's javelin that killed him, not Maji's pounce. Commoners only have 4 HP. Oh, Maji and Zephyr also get 5 XP each.

[Arch Lich Burns]

Hah, maybe. At least with dragonborn involed.

I figured as much, Maji didn't want to kill the dragonborn unless he saw it wasn't one.

[thinkslogically]

A kid is a kid though, and he might have been aiming to miss and scare you guys away or whatever. We proooooobably shouldn't be making a point of killing fleeing children, especially ones that can't understand you speaking common

[spiderwrangler]

Also, 7-10 for a dragonborn is more like 12-14 for a human, if that makes it any better.

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

Just a point for everyone's consideration. It's unlikely that this 'kid' was out here all by his lonesome. And while he may have exercised poor judgement in attacking our group, if he's a teenager and we were killing his pets right in front of him, it would be understandable. I mean, that's what being a teenager is all about, making short sighted calls and not thinking through consequences.
Point is, if he was a member of a larger group, like one of those tribes we were considering trying to connect with, I doubt this is a good introduction. It might be possible to pay a weregild of some sort and get out trouble if we got caught, provided they believe us when we told them it was an unprovoked attack. Or they may just say "the heck with it, string 'em up for the vultures" and declare a blood feud. I would suggest clearing out of the area fairly rapidly...unless someone is really good at hiding bodies.

[BadgeAddict]

Dontcha just love how the people in the stands have such opinions....


@Burns: I wasn't suggesting to just up and murder our allies (I would never suggest that )...I was suggesting hunting down and killing (in revenge) those nasty people who left us to die in a wasteland.

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

We haven't left yet....

Not criticizing the decisions made in the field. Just playing devil's advocate and stating the way a tribe member might interpret events. We're the ones who don't belong here. And tribes tend to view strangers with suspicion anyway.


Edit: Well, I guess I should be glad that you don't know how to really hide a body. That would suggest you've had practice, or at least read the right books.

[BadgeAddict]

That's why i buried the body... Though i was thinking about fire bolting it into a pile of ash

[thinkslogically]

My comment was entirely ooc Nem knows nothing about what been going on, so has no opinion on the matter anyway.

We'll see what happens.

[BadgeAddict]

Oh we shall...

[Arch Lich Burns]

Has maji ate enough of the tiny and giant lizards to gain thier forms?

[spiderwrangler]

I think you cronched a little one, but haven't touched a big one other than to kill it?

[Arch Lich Burns]

I bit them to death. But if he didn't eat enough, then a lizard tail may or maynot be missing.

[spiderwrangler]

Well, then you may or may not be able to become a giant lizard then.

[thinkslogically]

Randy has a very weird sense of timing!

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

He's probably still a little loose up stairs. Having a run in with an elder god can do that to you. I'd say that it's heightened his natural paranoia a little.

[thinkslogically]

Well, I've added an insight roll and now she is suspicious and concerned
