"'Ello? Can you talk? Speak to me! Hoy, you ain't one o' them Undead are you?"

You open your eyes, and the afternoon sun is nearly blinding. As your vision adjusts, you find yourself on your back, lying down. A halfling man is shaking you violently, but stops as he looks into your now open eyes. He helps you up, and as you look around, there lies the remains of a large airship. You find yourself on a beach, and bodies and blood are strewn about all around you. Some have gotten up, others seem to be grasping at the air, but most seem to be motionless.

"Hoy! You awright? 'At big ol' ship came outta nowhere!

You think back to what happened. How this all came to be.

You were aboard The Wyndspire Falcon. One of the most advanced airships to date. Why you were on this ship is known only to you. The ship was on its way to Stormreach, a new land of prosperity. But things weren't quite so smooth.

You remember freezing cold, and shattering windows. Screaming from the passengers, and ear-splitting roaring. Out on the main deck, an enormous white dragon has attacked the ship, and he doesn't look done. There was more cold, falling, and then...

The halfling introduces himself as Jeets, and tells you you've landed on Korthos island, a remote island in the ocean on the way to Stormreach. He says the island has been having trouble as of late. A dragon has been terrorizing the island, and the Cultists of the Devourer have been running rampant.

How will you traverse the island? Will you do your best to escape and get to Stormreach? Will you Stand up against the Cultists and eventually, the dragon? Or perhaps... something else entirely?

Welcome one and all to Trouble in Korthos. Here you'll be surviving on Korthos Island, a small town on a remote island. What your objectives are, are up to you. For characters, you can play just about anything. Just try not to play anything blatantly overpowered or the living embodiment of edge.

We will be playing with "stats". You won't be rolling dice or anything, but they will be used for interactions. Say, you want to kick down a door, but have low strength, it probably isn't going to happen. Or, if you want to try and balance across a narrow passage, but have low Dexterity, you probably aren't going to make it across. Here's a calculator for stats.

I'll leave a list of playable races below, but I'll be pretty lenient on classes. We also will be using a skill proficiency system. When doing something along the lines the proficient skill, you are far more likely to succeed. You will pick three skills that you are proficient in, and some races may give you extras.




Below is the Character template. Quote the post to grab it, and remove the quote coding

Definitely interested, but I'm not quite sure what race, class, or skills I want yet. I'm leaning toward Dragonborn for race, but everything else I'm not sure about yet. I'll get to work on a CS soon and see what I come up with.

@Sedjwick Sounds good. Don't forget to also pick your dragonborn's elemental ancestry if you decide to play one.

Think I'm going to play as a Half-Orc who doesn't really want to be an Orc and just wants to do like wood-carving and music

Still rocking the plan of tiefling bard. The skills changed up a bit, but it so far sounds like a bunch of friends in the works!

I have only just now realized there's nowhere to put your stats. Will get right on that.

EDIT: Stats have been put under the skills section. Please update your character sheets, and remember that there is a calculator for stats in the first post.

@Lord Orgasmo Warforged further Q: and A: Q:(Gareth): You said they were robotesque but with a soul? A:(Lord Orgasmo) Q2: (Gareth): In the race discription it says that they are created. Could a mage or alchemist create them? A2: (Lord Orgasmo): Q3: (Gareth): Would their soul/personality be heavily influenced by their creator? A3: (Lord Orgasmo): Q4/5/6 (Gareth): How well rounded can a Warforged’s personality be? Can they feel and express emotions just like humans? What about their speech, must it be clipped or can it like a normal human’s?

@Gareth
Q1: yes, they are like wooden automatons, and have souls.
Q2: Their bodies are created. A mage or alchemist could build the body, but they'd have to also infuse it with a soul. But again, still possible. Most were mass produced by the Artificers of House Cannith. We likely won't be going to House Cannith, but you can still be from there.
Q3: Their Personality comes from their soul, and each is different like you or I, but like children, when they are first created, they are heavily influenced by their surroundings.
Q4: Warforged can have a fully developed Personality, whether it's quiet and reserved, or loud and bombastic
Q5: While they can feel emotion, sympathy, and what not, they often have a bit of a hard time Expressing emotion. It is most often told through their voice, eyes, and gestures, if needed. They can smile and frown, but not very well.
Q6: Warforged speak just like normal people. They can roll their R's, get tongue-tied and even develop accents based on their language and homeland.

So, the point-buy calculator won't let you get over 17 in a score (15 without a +2 racial bonus).
Is...this just how its going to be?

EDIT: I see that this is a calculator with custom rules set, so I assume so.

@Lumiere Yes, that is how normal 5e point-buy goes. Up to 15, and 17 with a +2 from racial bonuses

Is there a reason why @Lord Orgasmo your Cs is as brief as it is and your character @Lumiere is a 5000 page novel?

@Gareth Jeets is just a side character. The CS was more for fun than anything.

@Gareth
I couldn't find a pic I liked and got a bit carried away with the written description. Also, there wasn't any 'bio' or 'personality' section, so I just scattered it throughout the cs for flavor.

Sry if its a bit of a read. xP
Edit: At least more than it probably needed to be*
