Would anybody be willing to play Red Hand Of Doom if I ran it off this board?
One of the games I've been looking forward to playing has been cancelled, so I might have some extra free time in the next upcoming months, and I feel like running one of the adventures I have downloaded.
RoHD is a mid level adventure module that could be finished in a few weeks or a few months, depending on how well it can be organized. I'd be running it with third edition rules, with a few PF1e imports, using this board for logkeeping and dialogue, and perhaps using discord for voicechat or Roll20 for battlemaps, depending on who's playing.
That all depends on whether I can find players who would be enthusiastic though. I'm just looking to see if anyone on this server is interested enough for me to do it on here.

Druids are pretty easy to build. All you have to do is remember to take the natural spell feat at lvl 6 and you're good to go. No matter what you do after that you'll be powerful.
>In one sense, druids are the easiest class in the game. Some say that all you need to do to build a competent druid is take natural spell at 6th level, and have enough wisdom to cast your spells. They’re wrong. You don’t even need the natural spell part. Give a competent player a druid, whose feats are all toughness, whose animal companion is a pony, who is wild shaped into also a pony, and whose spell slots are filled with detect poison, and they’ll utterly destroy the game.
>In that very round, they’ll be able to either turn into some defensive flying creature, or into their natural form, if they lack natural spell, in the next they’ll spontaneously convert one of those crappy spells into a massive beatstick, and in 24 hours, that pony companion will be a fleshraker dinosaur, and their spell slots will be up to snuff. The character in question will go from what is likely the worst in the party, to one of the best, without relying on anything except standard class features. Moreover, to some extent, playing a druid right just means making fullest use of your class features. As long as you pay all of your abilities the proper respect, you should be fine.
Which is why it's recommended for beginners. You get to experience pretty much every aspect of d&d (melee, spells, minions, skills, etc) without necessarily needing to build for it or know what you're doing. It's simply that great of a class.

Alright, lads, I've been given permission to run a level 2 adventure that I've been writing(it's not done). It has the same rules as the OP's campaign but I will be using some stuff from Heroes of Horror. If anyone is interested, just reply to this post by saying so.

It will be ran inside of the thread. There were a few fun minigames and gimmicks that made use of Discord's screen share function, but I think the adventure will still be enjoyable regardless. Even if the combats are a breeze, there should still be something enjoyable to do.

To elaborate, I gave this guy permission to test his one-shot (although he doesn't really need my permission to do it), since I never found the time to run The Sunless Citadel.
I'd prefer he'd make his own thread for it though...
>>133119
I'm going to make a sheet for a riding dog as controlled by a lvl 1 Druid and a lvl 6 Druid, and I'll share those sheets with you so you can see them as an example; with no modifying feats.
The game isn't starting until the start or middle of next month, so there's no hurry.

This is what a riding dog looks like when bonded to a lvl 6 druid:
https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=2288982
I built it as a standard companion; no optimization or weird tricks/templates, just to give you a picture of what it looks like.
And this is what it looks like bonded to a lvl 1 druid (no adjustment)
https://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/dogRiding.htm
Note how the Companion dog has higher stats, more hit dice, and is generally more powerful than the standard dog.
Your animal companion gains stat boosts and feats as a character of its level (hit dice). It also gains additional abilities based on your effective druid level:
http://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/druid
You can gain more powerful companions as your druid level increases. With feats, such as Exalted Companion, even more animals become available to you.
You mentioned you wanted a horse, right? While a horse isn't necessarily the best for combat, it's great to get around. At later levels (7, the next level you'll reach) you could get an Asperi (a magical flying horse) which would be a very useful mount and utility companion. You're good-aligned and are Neutral Good, so you could gain it with exalted companion.
The minimum Druid level to call an Asperi is 7; so you would have to settle for a Celestial Warhorse and swap it out for a
You could have it earlier if you were a horse-totem druid, but that would come at the cost of missing out on some wildshapes. Would be decent at lvl 8 with Exalted/Aberration/Dragon/Frozen Wildshape though, and could use the Domain Druid houserule (animal or sun domains) as compensation. Less versatile mechanically, but a solid pic for a Druid of Epona.
This game will be starting at lvl 6, in 2-ish weeks, Epona help us.
The others have been in touch with me in the server i made a while back. They're mostly done with their characters.
I've got the rest of today free. I'll answer any of your questions.

Why are you starting at level 6? Is it for easiness or something else?
Okay i have been wondering this ever since i heard about D&D but how exactly does the combat work? I already know about random numbers effecting the outcome but so you fail when you get below a certain number? Like if i get the highest number possible does that qualify as a critical? And if i get the lowest number do i get no damage and lose health?
I have always wondered how it worked but never bothered to research it because i never had the opportunity to play the game.
So a Asperi is just a edgy Pegasus?

I'm starting at lvl 6 because that around where this pre-written adventure starts at. I was originally going to make it lvl 5, but that was when I thought there would only be three players.
An Asperai or "wind steed" is a magical beast with the cold subtype that appears as a white/bluish horse. Unlike a pegasus, it lacks wings but can still fly through a process similar to airwalking. It can be gained with the Exalted Companion feat, which you qualify for since your character was Good, iirc.
I brought it up because that's the companion my last druid had; it's a decent companion if you want a horse-like creature.

>how exactly does the combat work?
Okay, I'm going to have to start you off with the basics.
Combat in the d20 system is luck-based at its core, but also takes into account each creatures capability.
To attack, you roll a 20-sided dice, and add all of your relavant modifiers. If your result exceeds the defender's Armor Class, you hit and roll your weapon's damage plus it's relevant modifiers; that damage is subtracted from the opponents Hit Points to represent the damage you dealt to your enemy in combat. If you fail to exceed your opponent's armor class, your attack misses.
A natural 1 on an attack roll or saving throw is an automatic failure; a natural 20 is an automatic success; with a possible critical hit (double or even triple damage) on the attack roll.
You can read all of this online in a system's reference document:
https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:System_Reference_Document
I also have The Player's Handbook right here. It has everything you need to know:
https://thetrove.net/Books/Dungeons%20&%20Dragons/3rd%20Edition%20(3.x)/D&D%203.5e%20Core/Player%27s%20Handbook%20%28Premium%20Edition%29.pdf
I'd recommend reading at least part of this. It explains it pretty well.

How have you been so far? I thought you might have some more questions.
Also, due to unforeseen circumstances, our Cleric has had to drop decline for the foreseeable future. Fir this purpose, I'd prefer to run after the Druid is ready.

I guess this doesn't come as a surprize but i don't think I will make the one-shot. I would really want to but there is so much else to do so yeah. Maybe, I'll catch the next train.
>>133737
I wasn't really going to run the one-shot in the end.
The actual game should run for a few months though. You could drop in when you're ready, if you want.

Also, I may as well say here that I use the PHBII rules for character rebuilding. If a player doesn't like his PC, I might let you retroactively change any aspect of it.

Okay, ngl, I'm feeling a tad bit demoralized from the party's Cleric having to quit (not blaming him though; I can relate to his struggle). I did not expect to have to wait for the Druid to be ready before we started; I was planning to introduce him in the forest later shortly after the first session.
Labor day weekend would logically be the best time for us to start, but my schedule is kind of whacked and I still don't know what >>133761 's weekend schedule looks like. I was kind of excited to start this weekend, but I'm not sure if I can do it without being sloppy, since I wanted to open an exposition that took everyone's character motivations into account. Seeing as how this game could be a three month commitment, I'd rather start sooner than later, but also start it well.

I'm going to be online all day. Get back to me when your sheet looks ready. If you finish up, I might be able to start this evening.

Here comes Garfield Whiskers! The ultimate acrobatic master! He's so cool and awesome and epic and shiny. With powerful legs and a bulky body, this fellow has the most versatile moveset one can ask for!
He can hop on heads willy nilly and land solidly on the ground every single time. He has some intense, inspiring and world shattering catchphrases and quick wit that leaves opponents stunned!
He's no slouch in combat, capable of batting even the most slippery foes like mice in a mousetrap while also being a sneaky foe himself! Nothing escapes his hawk eyes! ||Except mostly anything||.
With a sly, bold demeanor and intimidating yet welcoming presence, this male individual grips the strings of everyone's hearts like one of those cool puppetmasters in the plays.
...huh? Backstory? Pfft. T-that's not important...
<You have to state the backstory, my guy. It's the rules
D-Do I really have to?
<Just a little bit to set player, spectator and the DM's expectations
Ugh. Fine... It's so embarassing though...
<Do it already. You're messing up the flow
OK FINE.
Alright... He came from a prosperous human's household with everything he could ask for... His life was pretty comfortable but he didn't like it until he met his trusted friend.
<Alright, alright, big guy. Lemme handle this part.
<Whiskers is a tibbit jester whose origins begin in a cat-loving human's household as a pet. I believe he's knowledgeable on the existence of tibbits but was ignorant of him and his parents' species. So he said 'meow this' and set off into the world, ready to be the cool cat he saw in the plays the local theater.
<Along the way he met a sly Chesire Cat named Bagel that at first simply toyed with him in a playful jest, but soon endeared himself to his cute little antics and reactions and thus they became friends not soon after, Whiskers being all too happy to show off how awesome he was to his audience.
...I could've said it cooler than that...
<You're welcome.
Be sure to give these two some (You)s if you enjoyed their initial performance, please. They'd really appreciate the feedback.

Test
Gonna be honest and pardon my French, but I feel tired and shitty. I’m just gonna post the character description and backstory as they are.
Description:
Brozal is a muscular water orc with pale blue skin and red eyes. His body is completely absent of hair, and he is wearing a suit of banded mail with two ever burning torches mounted to the back. The banded mail is painted gold and the image of a blazing inferno is chiseled onto the back of it in crimson red. He is wearing a crimson red helmet in the shape of a flame, and several strips of metal branch off from it like the tongues of a flame licking at air. In his left hand, Brozal wields a heavy wooden shield that’s painted gold. The shield has the image of a bull’s head layered over a background of fire. The engravings are done in crimson red paint. In Brozal’s right hand, he is wielding a masterfully crafted trident that appears to have been forged from several different alloys. The first half of the spear is bright red, and a bit rusted, while the second half of the spear is yellow with it’s sharp tips being bright blue. The trident seems to glow faintly as he holds it, and small brightless(I know this isn’t a word, but in English you’re literally allowed to make up new words so bite me) flames dance along its surface without seeming to harm him.
Personality:
Brozal is sadistic and cruel towards those he deems as enemies of his faith, and is driven to anger when in the presence of debauchery or what his faith deems to be wrong. Aside from this, he tends to be cautious of almost everything that could be of any danger, and will hesitate to enter combat against anything other than the enemies of his faith. He has a grim sense of humor and is thrilled to stab enemies with his trident or beat them to death with his gauntlets. Violence comes naturally to him, and he has no problem with using it to get what he wants. Finally, Brozal is tough as nails and when he’s not adventuring, he’ll spend his days performing hard physical labor for any townsfolk or villagers who need to offload odd jobs onto someone. While traveling, he’ll sometimes smugly mock his less unrelenting companions and joke that if they fall behind, they’ll be brutally murdered by monsters.

Traits:
>Cautious

Flaws:
>Shaky(Brozal's hands tend to shake all the time, and that makes him unreliable in ranged combat)
>Inattentive(Brozal seems to be extremely absent-minded and pays hardly any attention to the things around him)
Backstory(none of this has been proofread):
Brozal was birthed in a large tribal society of water orcs that lived inside of a cave system that was tucked away behind a waterfall. Life in the village was the standard for life in orc culture: a hierarchy established on the principles of strength and intimidation, with the weakly being trampled and culled to pave the way to higher strength for future generations. Brozal fit well as any orc in orcish culture should. He killed for the first time on his first birthday, when he was forced into a hole with another young orc of his age and forced to fight the other orc to the death while the two were both unarmed. Although he had been molded by the brutal ways of orc society before this, this rite of passage stuck with him and sparked in him a cruel and sadistic nature that would stick with him for life.
Although his tribe produced nothing of value and got most of its wealth and supplies from hunting, gathering, and raiding nearby townships and hamlets, there was still a lot of work to be done- mostly hauling things from one place to another. Despite only being one and a half years old, Brozal was tasked with hauling heavy loads of plundered loot from raids back to his village, and was beaten savagely whenever he slowed down or fell behind. He grew to fear the older orcs and knew to walk until his legs failed or he passed out from exhaustion lest the older orc tribesmen decide to beat him to death. This rough child labor helped him to become unrelenting in his physical endeavors.
A few months after his second birthday, Brozal woke up from his slumber to the sounds of battle. He leapt out of his hole in the ground and ran through various caves inside the cave network his tribe lived in. The young water orc encountered the corpses of dozens of orcs, and saw that all the underground pools of water in their layer had been turned crimson red by the blood of his brethren. With his heart racing, he hid inside of a chest and waited for the battle to end. Half an hour later, the orcling emerged from the chest and made his way to the waterfall that masked the entrance to his tribe's home, and he was not prepared for the true horror that awaited him up above. As soon as he walked around the waterfall, he was met with the sight and sounds of a large chunk of his tribe clawing at the sides of a pit while screaming and burning to death. He was frozen in place as the blood curdling screams of his kin stabbed and paralyzed him.
A large man in full plate noticed Brolaz and approached him with a trident in position to stab through the kid orc's skull, but the armored hulk hesitated for a moment and lowered his trident- electing to grab the child by the throat and drag him over the the other crusaders. The scarlet blaze of the flames mixed with the smell of burnt hair and baked flesh- motivating Brolaz to bite and kick the armored figure holding him by the throat. Failing to harm the figure, Brolaz was slammed into the ground until he passed out, and then the crusaders who had murdered Brolaz's tribe decided to spare him and raise him in the order due to his young age.
Life in the monastery was cruel and hard, but more forgiving than life in Brolaz's village was. Every morning he would get up and be forced to meditate(something he was never able to do) while kneeling in a tub of dried rice for an hour, and before being allowed to eat lunch or dinner, he would have to recite the tenets of Pelor and then hold a lit candle in both of his hands until they completely melted. Rather than being given a bed, Brolaz was given a sheet of stone to sleep on. Shunned and rejected by most in his order, he began wearing a cloth over his face to hide his identity, and this seemed to help quite a bit. Despite being socially stunted, he became a fine crusader and was able to learn the ways of persuasion from speaking to townsfolk and helping them with whatever they needed.

Brolaz will sometimes repeatedly scream "Fire is coming!" while approaching enemies.

Backstory(none of this has been proofread):
Brozal was birthed in a large tribal society of water orcs that lived inside of a cave system that was tucked away behind a waterfall. Life in the village was the standard for life in orc culture: a hierarchy established on the principles of strength and intimidation, with the weakly being trampled and culled to pave the way to higher strength for future generations. Brozal fit well as any orc in orcish culture should. He killed for the first time on his first birthday, when he was forced into a hole with another young orc of his age and forced to fight the other orc to the death while the two were both unarmed. Although he had been molded by the brutal ways of orc society before this, this rite of passage stuck with him and sparked in him a cruel and sadistic nature that would stick with him for life.
Although his tribe produced nothing of value and got most of its wealth and supplies from hunting, gathering, and raiding nearby townships and hamlets, there was still a lot of work to be done- mostly hauling things from one place to another. Despite only being one and a half years old, Brozal was tasked with hauling heavy loads of plundered loot from raids back to his village, and was beaten savagely whenever he slowed down or fell behind. He grew to fear the older orcs and knew to walk until his legs failed or he passed out from exhaustion lest the older orc tribesmen decide to beat him to death. This rough child labor helped him to become unrelenting in his physical endeavors.
A few months after his second birthday, Brozal woke up from his slumber to the sounds of battle. He leapt out of his hole in the ground and ran through various caves inside the cave network his tribe lived in. The young water orc encountered the corpses of dozens of orcs, and saw that all the underground pools of water in their layer had been turned crimson red by the blood of his brethren. With his heart racing, he hid inside of a chest and waited for the battle to end. Half an hour later, the orcling emerged from the chest and made his way to the waterfall that masked the entrance to his tribe's home, and he was not prepared for the true horror that awaited him up above. As soon as he walked around the waterfall, he was met with the sight and sounds of a large chunk of his tribe clawing at the sides of a pit while screaming and burning to death. He was frozen in place as the blood curdling screams of his kin stabbed and paralyzed him.
A large man in full plate noticed Brolaz and approached him with a trident in position to stab through the kid orc's skull, but the armored hulk hesitated for a moment and lowered his trident- electing to grab the child by the throat and drag him over the the other crusaders. The scarlet blaze of the flames mixed with the smell of burnt hair and baked flesh- motivating Brolaz to bite and kick the armored figure holding him by the throat. Failing to harm the figure, Brolaz was slammed into the ground until he passed out, and then the crusaders who had murdered Brolaz's tribe decided to spare him and raise him in the order due to his young age.
Life in the monastery was cruel and hard, but more forgiving than life in Brolaz's village was. Every morning he would get up and be forced to meditate(something he was never able to do) while kneeling in a tub of dried rice for an hour, and before being allowed to eat lunch or dinner, he would have to recite the tenets of Pelor and then hold a lit candle in both of his hands until they completely melted. Rather than being given a bed, Brolaz was given a sheet of stone to sleep on. Shunned and rejected by most in his order, he began wearing a cloth over his face to hide his identity, and this seemed to help quite a bit. Despite being socially stunted, he became a fine crusader and was able to learn the ways of persuasion from speaking to townsfolk and helping them with whatever they needed.

Brolaz will sometimes repeatedly scream "Fire is coming!" while approaching enemies.
Okay, Britanon is nowhere to be found...
I was prepared to make this a 3-player game, but not a two-player one... I guess I could just load up the PCs with action points and just Monty Hall this thing...

Yeah, those traits are homebrew.
If you want mechanical traits, take them from this list.

You may have up to two.
Cosmetic personality traits are not necessary to list.

I still see those traits/flaws.
You probably don't want the athletic feat.
Take Natural Spell as your 6th level feat; every druid takes it.
You didn't select any equipment. The handbook I posted as items you might want.
Also, please share it with me. My Mythweavers tag is ThatGuy72. Once you share it with me I can edit it.
