Quasi Dungeons and Dragons

(Wow, proficiencies have changed. So basically, the +4 is +2 from skill, +2 from stat? So rather than +4 w/say stealth and sleight-of-hand, I'm at a +3? I suppose I should have realized it couldn't be the case. Even by the old method it was half of a players level rounded down. Can't help it, I always try to eke out extra advantages 😂😂).

(With 3 people in heavy armor, this is not the kind of group Anne Frank would have chosen for company 😂)

(chain mail isn't that noisy......)

(sorry, instead of clanking, it's jingling like a sack of coins. 😏. If anything that's setting off the treasure fixation of the dragonborn artificially making him think we have more treasure than we do 😂).

(gotta say, Dragonborn is a top notch roleplaying pick considering Earth has been grabbing anything of value in sight. Dragons, they're "slightly" obsessed with the shiny things in life 😂). 

(any of you guys play warframe?)

I look the dragonborn up and down, handing him the coins in my possession, reducing the weight i'm carrying. 

(the f2p vidya game? It wasn't really to my liking tbh)

(yeah, just thought if would be very funny if one of you were in the same guild)

(Pretty much. I PM'd your sheet. You can see all your skill bonuses on it)

Roberts searches about the room. The wardrobe contains severalold robes, a pair of iron candlesticks, and an open cratecontaining thirty torches and a leather sack with fifteencandles inside it. The footlocker at the foot of the bed is locked. The corpses on the bed bear a slight resemblance to the adults the party has seen in pictures of the family.

I walk over to the lockbox and check it for traps. After that I check the corpses for any possessions(such as a key) they might have on them. As well as checking the bed/mattress. 

In checking I notice the corpses are similar to the mother and father of rose and thorn, and take a closer examination to attempt to determine that conclusively.

As Snerp pats down the corpses (ew) they suddenly lunge up and grab a hold of him!

(I will take the torchers,sack with candles and candle holders)

@Drafterman @TheDreadPirateRoberts 

Damn it Roberts your blocking my shot! Shield rushing Gustav.

(What is effective on undeads?🤔)

I guess I'll duel wield my swords and attack the nearest foe.

(AUGGGHHHHHHHH)

I wriggle out of the corpses clutches and somersault backwards away from the bed(dodge). Scrambling (move) behind Grahf and Eikka for extra protection as they charge the corpses, I use the opportunity to identify them(identify enemies).

Cure wounds, Divine Favor, Detect Magic

(You sure you want a heal spell w/lay on hands? Btw, what two proficiencies did you pick? Like I pointed out before, at least one being in intimidation would be boss AF and complement the proficiencies of persuasion and deception I already have 👌. Another person with medicine would be dope too tbh. Or if you went insight, that would mean I could go with a proficiency in something else. Athletics seems a good choice too fmpov, cause having high str + that proficiency would damn near guarantee any checks regarding Athletics 💯)

(Read up on divine smite. Probably best use of your spell slots)

(nice pro-tip on the Divine Smite, that's boss AF 😮)

Alright, guess I'll pick my spells later. 

(I think I have like a +4 Intimidation?)

(roleplaying consideration. Having insight would mean you more easily detect lies and truth. Giving you all the justification a paladin needs to intimidate someone, what with the whole lying being sinful and evil thing 💯👌)

(Niceeeeeeeeeeee 💯💯)

(Yeah, I picked Insight as one of my picks)

(You absolute unit. Now I don't need to pick that, *hi-fives*. You and me are gonna be a hell of a combo talking to NPC's 💯💯. Totally wasn't wrong about this switch to paladin really increasing group cohesion and makes the group as a whole quite a bit more complementary to one another 💯👌)

(FYI. If you're dual wielding your swords, you won't get to make use of your great weapon fighting)

(hrmm, perhaps perception, stealth, nature... w/double bonus to perception and persuasion.)

(@Drafter- does nature proficiency allow someone to say, be more able to identify poisonous herbs and apply that poison to weapons? I'm not seeing an herbalist proficiency. Am I missing that, or is there not one? 😐

What about beneficial plants? Could Merlin hypothetically have Eikka use such herbs via the medicine skill, assuming nature proficiency allows for such an indentification?)

(sorry for all the questions, having used my reroll, I gotta make dang sure I'm picking right. Already screwed up with Thunder Wave 😂😂)
