Muahahaha. I was just going to play a Windfinder type sorcerer, but my wife was asking for variety in NPCs. So it'll be adventure dependent.

I still haven't found a game of my own :/
I really need to find one since out of the five games I was in, only two of them are (sometimes) running any given week-- last week I had no game at all. Feeling a bit... I guess you could say like an addict on withdrawl

Holy Moly. 5 Games with an average of 2 per week, and that's low? My RPG prowess cannot compare, my dice-fu is weak.

Ahab-esque Druid? And the Queequeg reference raises questions about the Starbuck reference. What kinda Starbuck are you talking here?

So a Ranger/stereotypical Strabucks customer? Sounds hip, in a trying too hard kinda way. "I'd tell you about my feat but you probably never heard of it."

What's beter than one starbuck MORE THAN ONE. Clearly, if you ever cast Mirror Image as your Starbuck character, this will be the result: *no I will never stop finding this funny

Am I wrong to think of a completely different Starbuck when I see the name listed right above a "Queequeg-like barbarian"...? I mean, the first mate in Moby Dick *was* named Starbuck, after all....
...or am I just now getting the joke?

Oddly, while I realized that was wrong, this was the first person I thought of when I saw Starbuck. No idea why when there are actually people named Starbuck.

Nope, I hadn't thought of that originally when discussing character ideas but remembered later.
My wife's the one with the Starbuck (Kara) idea and hers was first. Queequeg came up later. Automatically Appended Next Post: Are we still wholly off-topic, because I totally forgot about this picture:

So the DMG release is delayed. It seems like quite a bit of its content-- or what I would have guessed is its content-- is already in the PHB.

How about dual wielding, animated swords that have taken enough class levels to know magic (so they can magically hold things) and animate objects themselves. Then you can dual wield animated swords, that are dual wielding the animated swords they animated, that are dual wielding the animated swords they animated... and so on.

I wasn't talking about swords. I was talking about bows Naturally, she'd be using multi-shot on each of those bows.

We ended up with all martial so I ended up switching from Barbarian to an Elven Evoker (I was on the fence about it anyway) to give us a little balance. So a few quick questions about magic. It sounds like I can cast a spell I have memorized for the day any amount of times up to my number of spells for the day, is that correct? As it stands I have four Level 1 and three Level 2, so if I wanted to I could cast Magic Missile four times as Level 1 and twice as a Level 2 if I wanted? I know I can memorize more spells but it doesn't seem like you are only limited to X uses of Spell Y. Is this an accurate understanding of how the new spell system works?
