Re: Who's ready for a Dragon Heist? (5th ed) recruitment

A bit of a pivot with my character. Decided that a Bard would fit the concept better. I'm still going to lean heavily into illusion magic, but now with more Charisma to back it up. Will have the rest of him finished by tomorrow; hopefully that's not too late. Character Name : Class & Level : Bar...

Re: Who's ready for a Dragon Heist? (5th ed) recruitment

Bill- I hesitantly like the idea. How does the god that he used to follow feel about this whole arrangement? Most certainly none too pleased, but perhaps the character's prayers and attempts to be a Celestial Warlock fell on deaf ears, and so he was forced to look elsewhere. If you'd prefer, I have...

Re: Who's ready for a Dragon Heist? (5th ed) recruitment

Still working out the details, but for my character, I'm thinking of a Lawful/Neutral Good Fiend Warlock. He and his wife suffer a terrible tragedy, and she takes her own life because of it. This is an act of blasphemy under their religion, and so he makes a deal with the devil: if he can make his s...

Looking at the first post, are we no longer going with PH + 1; all books are fair game? Also, are we allowed to customize our background to change the skills/proficiencies it provides?

Re: Curse of Strahd or Dragon Heist?

Hey, I'd be interested in some 5E. If it's still between Strahd or Dragon Heist, I'd personally leans towards the latter. Hi Bill, long time no post! Maybe you can fill me in on something: What is it 'bout Dragon Heist that's got everybodies attention? I can understand why Spectrum would pick it( i...

Combat Maneuvers and Advantages

The combat maneuvers, such as Power Attack and Accurate Attack, are limited by not allowing you to more than double your attack/effect/defense bonus. This limit is not removed by taking the associated advantage, right? For example, if I had a low-level, crime fighter type character whose main form o...

NGM HP: 1, Condition: Normal NGM's face broke out into a wide, cocky smirk. He floated up a few inches from hangar floor, a golden aura flaring around his body. "If that's what's up, then you're lucky you brought the best member of Next-Gen here," the teen jabbed a thumb into his chest. H...

Re: NetherWar recruiting (OOC)

It looks overall alright, although I'm going with the interpretation that Untapped Potential allows Extra Effort to boost an effect by 2 ranks, not 3, since I think that was a typo from when they copy-pasted the material from the prior Hero High. Also, I'm trying to decide whether Untapped Potentia...

Re: NetherWar recruiting (OOC)

Here's my first pass at a rework of NGM. If it's "too crazy", that's alright; I already have another build in line that's closer to the original. I just wanted to give the build a more Paragon edge. NGM PL 8 https://db4sgowjqfwig.cloudfront.net/images/3830259/NGM.jpg Real Name: Martin Cont...

Re: NetherWar recruiting (OOC)

I'm interested! Looking at NGM in the Hero High book, he seems like he'd be fun to play. I will admit to being worried about, as a white person, not doing justice for a character who has experienced racial inequality, but seeing as how it's a one-shot, I can imagine it won't come up much or at all. ...
