<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">"Meet me in Phandalin."</span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">In the city of Neverwinter, A dwarf named <strong>Gundren Rockseeker</strong> asked you to escort a wagonload of provisions to the rough-and-tumble settlement of <strong>Phandalin</strong>, a couple days travel south-east of the city. Gundren was clearly excited and more than a little secretive about his reasons for the trip, only that he and his brothers had "found something big", and that he'd pay you ten gold pieces each for escorting his supplies safely to <strong>Barthen's provisions</strong>, a trading post in Phandalin. He then set out ahead of you on a horse with a warrior escort names <strong>Sildar Hallwinter</strong>, claiming he needed to arrive early to "take care of business".<br/>You've just spent the last few days following the high road south from Neverwinter, and you've just recently ventured east along the Triboar trail. You've encountered no trouble so far, but this territory can be dangerous. Bandits and outlaws have been known to lurk along these roads...</span><br/><br/>******<br/><br/>Thus is the opening to what I personally believe is the best intro/ low level adventure module WoTC has ever made. For anyone viewing this, this party is currently full but perhaps that will change in time.<br/><br/>****<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Character Creation Guidelines:</span>Please stick to these guidelines when making you character. Believe me they aren't as restrictive as they may first appear, and most of them are just common sense.<br/><br/>-Stats are either generated with the standard array 15,14,13,12,10,8. Or via 27 point buy.<br/><br/>-Most classes are allowed, artificer is not allowed.<br/><br/>-Most races are allowed, however anything that starts with the ability to fly (Aarakocra) or anything that doesn't belong in the forgotten realms setting (Warforged) are not allowed.<br/><br/>-No chaotic evil or neutral evil characters, Lawful evil characters may be permitted provided it isn't used as an excuse to be purposefully harmful to other players and interfere with party cohesion.<br/><br/>-Unearthed arcana is not allowed.<br/><br/>-Starting equipment & gold is whatever is standard for your class from the PHB.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">DM'S notes:</span><br/><br/>1).For the purposes of this campaign I will be using the PHB+1 rule as well. For those who don't know what that means, when making your character you can use the PHB +1 additional sourcebook.<br/>For example, if you wanted to choose any subclass from Xanathar's Guide, than that will be your '+1', which means you can't pick a race or racial variant from Volo's guide or Mordenkein's.<br/><br/>2). I am a Dm who likes to actually enforce some mildly grittier rules such as encumbrance (we will use the simplified version of Str x 15 or determining carry capacity). As well as material components for spells. Obviously arcane foci and other substitutes will function as normal. But where material components are required they will uhh.... be required.<br/><br/>****<br/><br/>Character template- Please fill out and post in a hider. I will update this page with the active roster of characters currently in the party as well as an honoured list for potential fallen PC's along the way.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body"><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><div align="center"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;">(http://Picture)<br/><strong>Character</strong> (http://)<br/>Race | Class | Experience<br/><strong>HP:</strong> <em>0/0 (0)</em> | <strong>AC:</strong> <em>10 (-)</em> | <strong>HD:</strong> <em>1/1</em><br/><strong>Passive Perception:</strong> <em>10</em> | <strong>Initiative:</strong> <em>0</em> | <strong>Proficiency:</strong> <em>+0</em><br/><strong>Speed:</strong> <em>0ft</em> | <strong>Inspiration:</strong> <em>0/3</em><br/><br/><strong>STR:</strong> <em>0 (+0)</em> | <strong>DEX:</strong> <em>0 (+0)</em> | <strong>CON:</strong> <em>0 (+0)</em><br/><strong>INT:</strong> <em>0 (+0)</em> | <strong>WIS:</strong> <em>0 (+0)</em> | <strong>CHA:</strong> <em>0 (+0)</em><br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Saves</span></strong><br/><strong>S:</strong> <em>+0</em> | <strong>D:</strong> <em>+0</em> | <strong>Co:</strong> <em>+0</em> | <strong>I:</strong> <em>+0</em> | <strong>W:</strong> <em>+0</em> | <strong>Ch:</strong> <em>+0</em><br/><strong>Death Successes:</strong> <em>0/3</em> | <strong>Death Failures:</strong> <em>0/3</em><br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Money</span></strong><br/><strong>Coinage:</strong> <em>0</em><br/><strong>Alternative wealth:</strong> <em>0</em><br/><strong>Carry:</strong> <em>0 (+0)/0</em><br/><br/></span><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">S/F/T/P</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div style="text-align: left;"><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;">Skill Proficiency<br/></span><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><br/><br/></span><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;">Other Proficiency<br/></span><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><br/><br/></span><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;">Feats<br/></span><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><br/><br/></span><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;">Languages<br/></span><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><br/><br/></span><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;">Features<br/></span><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><br/></span></div></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Attacks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><br/></span></div></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Equipment</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><br/></span></div></div></div><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spells</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><br/><strong>Casting Ability:</strong> <em>-</em> | <strong>Save DC:</strong> <em>-</em> | <strong>Attack Bonus:</strong> <em>-</em><br/></span><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;">Cantrip<br/></span><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><br/><br/></span><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;">1st Level (Total Known) (used/slots)<br/></span><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><br/><br/></span><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;">2nd Level (Total Known) (used/slots)<br/></span><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><br/><br/></span><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;">3rd Level (Total Known) (used/slots)<br/></span><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"></span></div></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div>[/td][/tr][/table]<br/><br/>****<br/><br/>Please fill out & use the following template with each of your posts.
