I snoozed through the Discord server invite's "available" window. Sorry. Please resend. Sorry about that. I'm still learning Discord and didn't realize invites could expire. Everything's fixed now. When are we looking to get started playing? Have you picked a date yet, or are you just waiting for slackers like me? Nope. Just waiting for slackers like you.

My ambivalence is immeasurable. On the one hand, having limited classes access to them means fewer of them, but not limiting them could theoretically mean EVERYONE can have them. Then again, giving our Conjurer an option for once his spells run out seems wise. Hehe... the great equalizer, and all that jazz. Maybe it's new enough that noone has proficiency at them, and everyone has disadvantage (which also points at their relative instability?) But I'm open to any decision myself.

I'm fine with giving everyone Disadvantage on firearms to represent their newness. Doing so would provide a nice mechanical reason why bows, crossbows, and other missile weapons are still more common; accuracy. Let's go with that.

Aww, man, I was gonna make a Three Musketeers kinda dude with B.P. weapons strewn about a bandoleer thrown over his chest.
Just kidding. I think Disadvantage is an awesome way to mitigate firearms.

Rando Rollins (Thief) STR: 11 DEX: 16 CON: 9 INT: 11 WIS: 12 CHA: 14 HP: 9 (rolled 5) DAM: 1d6/1d4 unarmed or improvising - Roll with Advantage when testing DEX to avoid damage or effects from traps and magical devices.
- Rolls with Advantage when attacking from behind and deals 2d6 / 2d4 + the Thief's level damage.
- Rolls with Advantage when performing delicate tasks, climbing, hearing sounds, moving silently, understanding written languages and opening locks.
Rando is tall and lithe, and moves with an unspoken grace. Born the son of a somewhat successful cobbler, Rando eschewed the family business in lieu of more shady, and less labor-intensive endeavors. He's... saved enough money to provide a stable living for himself, and purchase a decent sword and pistol (which he openly but subtly brandishes whenever he feels threatened). He's rarely had to use either, however, for his good looks, charm, and winning smile usually serve to get him out of any scrapes in which he might find himself. (I couldn't find anything on money and purchasing; I'll deal with the money aspects as soon as I figure that out.)

Everyone starts with a one handed weapon allowed by their class, a set of clothes, and 3d6 x 10 coin to buy stuff. There's a fairly short equipment list towards the front of the book (or beginning of the SRD). One handed weapons cost 25 coin while bows and firearms cost 50 coins. I'm just about to go to bed (as my daughter is finally asleep), but I'll add your thief to the Google Doc pinned to the Discord channel as soon as I get to work tomorrow. I'm intentionally leaving the setting somewhat vague so that we can fill it in as we go, but how do people feel about a Central & Southeastern European-inspired setting? Especially countries around the Carpathian Mountains. Rolling fields, rugged hills and jagged peaks covered in dark, brooding pine forests. Yeah, I'm totally thinking Wallachia, Moldavia, and Transylvania.

I've added your Thief to the pinned Google Doc Probie Tim. Looks like we're all ready to go except for your and ayslyn's equipment and tomes' spells. We can totally do that as we start the adventure if people want to.

OK. I've put up the starting scene in "the_adventure" channel over on Discord. It's pretty hard framing (to prevent you all from wandering away from the adventure), but you can absolutely ask questions about what lead up to this point. I think it's better to get things rolling and reveal backstory/setup as needed.

Well that was a fun read. Give me a holler if you're ever in need of another player HyveMynd.
