Spells from Strixhaven are fine. I'm aware of the power of Silvery Barbs and slightly surprised you didn't take it. I just don't allow the background since they grant the Strixhaven Initiate feat, as well as an expanded spell list.


LOL. I initially planned to take it, but I thought I wasn’t allowed for some reason. That’s why I wanted to double check.

Anyways, I fixed up the CS and included a bike for her land vehicle choice. ^_^

I'm having a lot of trouble choosing a Tarot.


If your character is dealing with rage, then how about Chariot?

@Guardian Angel Haruki I think I might go for that or Magician, but I think I could manage Tower as one.

I'm trying not to implement too much homebrew, at least not player side since I'll already be introducing a lot of homebrew enemies and mechanics. Which does remind me, I do have a sort of alternative weapon list that I will post soonish.

As for tarot's, all I ask is that you try not to use what anyone else is already using. Beyond that the exact nature or flavor I'll leave to your discretion.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

CS looks good, go ahead and submit it into the CS page.

Ah as a sort of Phoenix theme? Personally I think radiant damage can still work since I always imagine radiant damage to be like "Sun Flame" and a direct upgrade to fire damage.

@Lucius Cypher hm, maybe. That's a fair point, or I could go Warlock, you can't cast spells while Raging. I was gonna be like Oh but I could take War Caster but that feat don't let you do what I was thinking.

@Lucius Cypher which version of the Fire Genasi do you prefer? MMGM or the Elemental Evil Player Companion?

@Lucius Cypher Quick clarification question, but are the stats and proficiencies our character's or their persona's, or should they match both? So for example, if someone had a physically meek kid with a barbarian persona, would a high STR just mean the Persona they summon is strong, or would the character be surprisingly so as well? Or is it preferable that there wouldn't be a disconnect like that?

That example isn't what I'm going with, but illustrates the point.

@Vertigo

For the most part, the information in the persona section largely pertains to your persona/when you are ysi g said persona. Though that's not to say that there isn't some overlap, at least after your persona awakens. Example, scrawny nerd who would realistically have a str of 8, generously, may suddenly find himself capable of superhuman feats of strength occasionally thanks to his barbarian persona. But that doesn't mean he can suddenly become an Ace football player if he still never bothers to physically improve his body to match his persona.

Just as well, even if your persona is a genius 20 Int Wizard, that doesn't make the user suddenly a genius capable of using magic in the real world. Indeed the more esoteric skills such as Arcana, History, Religion, and Nature would mostly come from said Persona, as oppose to the character themselves. Though in that instance the Persona is more akin to a computer: it may or may not have the information you seek, but it's still up to the user to make use of that data.

How Persona interacts with their users is something that will be explored IC, so I won't spoil too much ooc, but I do want to make clear that while the personas are an extension of yourself they are also their own entities as well. The more you are in sync with your persona, the more you and the persona basically act as the same person. But when you start going against your persona, funky stuff happens.

@Dark Cloud

I'm fine with either variant of the genasi. Just clarify which variant you're using in your character sheet so I know which one I should be referencing.

Things look good so far, but I'll withhold a final decision until everything is complete. Question though, did you make up your own Background it just reflavored the hell out of the strange student background? While j don't mind reflavoring, please keep the mechanical bonuses such as proficiencies, items, and background feature the same.

@Lucius Cypher I came up with everything myself. I basically took student and mashed it with outlander. Came up with a feature on my own, sorry I usually do that cause I follow the rules and keep it as balanced as possible. It's Outlander with bit of student flavoring and my own sort of feature to spin on it.

I thought that it was pretty balanced for a feature as it can actually have rather negative implications.

I thought that was might have been the case!

I was definitely thinking of having Rosalie start out as a very socially awkward, but improve her social skills as the game progresses.

Also, I definitely thought of the dynamic between Rosalie and Reminiscence being like this...

Rosalie: OK. It's another day! Time to do what's expected of me at school, and hopefully I'll make a friend. Maybe! Just gotta make sure I don't stand out too much or rock the boat...

Reminiscence:
English Lyrics to the song.


((Sorry, I had to. I remembered the song and thought it fit Rosalie and Reminiscence to a T. ^^"))

@Dark Cloud

Please refrain from creating your own Background. I know there are rules for it, but it also tells you to consult your DM when doing so. For all intents and purposes, Strange Student should suffice for what you need for your background unless there is a specific goal you want from your background. Generally being ignored and overlooked for your weirdness, so long as it's not disruptive or intrusive, is what Strange Student is for. As long as you aren't doing something like stealing computer cables or breaking into vending machines, no one will care if you hang out by yourself playing video games (except maybe during class, and only from teachers who give a damn).

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Totally. Personas are not the idealized version of yourself, they're the representation of both your good and bad sides, so naturally some people may be more willing to cooperate with their personas, but others will only see them as "problems" and try and change and be different from them. Which very mixed results.
