As with last time, I will require that we go through and test as many races and classes as possible.
Last time we had: Bard, Cleric, Fighter, Rogue, Sorcerer, and Monk.
So we need the following this time before any repeats: Barbarian, Paladin, Ranger, Warlock, and Wizard. Note that while the Psionicist is in existence now, I will not require someone play that, although it is an option.
As for races, the same applies and last time we had: Gree, Elf, Human, Tyrog, Nipit, and Dwarf (mountain).
So for this time, we need: Elf (night), Dromite, Avariel, Halfling, Gnome (pale and dark), Dwarf (crystal).
There may be more to come as I flesh things out, but try and pick from the above list if possible.
-
I'm considering a Halfling Wizard. Could I be a descendant of Rubius?

The moon is in the past, and no you cannot be an ancestor of Rubius.
-
But you can take both halfling and wizard.
-
Dromite is a playable race?
I'll take night elf and warlock.
-
Dromite is a playable race?
Yes
-
Since only 1 prestige class has been released, we will not be using them for this playtest.
There are about 50 new spells that I have in official PDFs that we will use.
There are no new feats that I have seen that we can use (and I have only seen a couple new racial feats)
-

I think I'll try the Universal Wizard.
-
I'll take night elf and warlock.
The choices for your patron are: The Healer, the King, The Tyrant, and the Madman. Details to follow, but I wanted you to know.
-
I'll try the Avariel Psionicist
-
BTW, what level are we starting at? Will we be continuing where we left off last play test at 6th or 7th?

Start at 6th level and theoretically do 5 sessions like last time, adding one level per session.

Then I am going to have to dual class. The Psionicist documentation online only goes to level 5

That will give a chance to test that out as well, good thinking.

I will go with Avariel Ranger/Psionicist

Are there any new backgrounds available?

I believe there are, but I will have to search the PDFs for them.
-
After reviewing backgrounds, the ones that have been released since the PHB are all area, race, or otherwise specific. I am open to any of you creating a background that I can approve (or not).

Did everyone like the point buy system for ability scores used last time, or do you want to try a new system?

I like the point buy system.
-
Master Po is doing a Pale Gnome Paladin.
-
I like the point buy system.
What are the other options?
Point buy was good. Would we use same as before?
-
Rolling, me assigning them, a different point buy system.

I'd consider a different point buy system.
-
Any other opinions?
-
Point system works. Or you could auction off stats. give everyone a starting amount of gold and auction off the stats. the kicker is whatever you have left is what you use to purchase equipment...lol
-
Neat concept, but I think not a good fit for the playtest.
-
To sum up so far, we have:
Halfling Wizard
Avariel Psion multiclass
Pale Gnome Paladin
Elf Warlock
TBD Ranger / Warlock multiclass
I want to have this nailed down by next week so I can start on the adventure detail working you all into it.
It will take place about 75 years after the last part, which I will begin to detail the aftermath of soon.
-
TBD Ranger / Warlock multiclass is now going to be a Were-creature(of some type)/Ranger.
-
To sum up so far, we have:
Halfling Wizard
Avariel Psion / Ranger
Pale Gnome Paladin
Night Elf Warlock
Lycanthrope Ranger
-
Once you have completed your character, I will randomly roll a moderately powerful magic item for the character.
-
Good progress. Three characters complete and magic items given, two draft for the other two complete.
I will begin to work on wrap up stories from last year's characters and back stories for this year. (now that seas are complete I should have time).
-
The adventure begins 68 years after the defeat of Queen Inkara, a historical figure that is known to all of you (although some better than others). All of you have been taught she was a tyrant dark gnomish wizard oppressor.
-
Master Po has a new PHB which has lots of errata, so if we have any disputes, it is the last word.
