"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Yeah, sorry. I had mentioned that a couple posts after the original. It was requested that we move up to level 3, so I figured whatever. Also, Just so people know, we are not using XP. We will be using milestone level ups.

Looks great! I'll admit, the idea of a halfling sorcerer seems really weird to me, but odd characters are fun, and can lead to 'interesting' roleplay moments.
So I just went for a walk and realised you guys may be wondering what to do about equipment and gold. I'm guessing this is what everyone did already, but just use the standard gear/gold that they offer when you create your character. If you want, go ahead and do max gold. If you want anything else in regards to weapons/armour/other things, feel free to grab some basics like a torch, some rope, cooking supplies and the likes, assuming you think your character would have it. I'd also like to talk about eating expectations, since sometimes players don't know what is expected of them. I'd like characters to eat at least on good meal a day, especially if they are at a tavern/inn. In general though, I won't bother to much about it. However I will occasionally go through and any characters who haven't eaten anything in the last few days will gain one level of exhaustion. While writing this, I also realised there was something else I forgot to mention before. When it comes to posting during the game. When it is your character talking, please colour the text. otherwise, leave it black. Example: "Well." Jenson moves closer to the rock to investigates it. Investigation 19. "Whatever this thing is, it's dangerous. we know that much." Also, I would appreciate it if somewhere in your post you could try to include your character's name. This is to help both me and the other players connect user names and player names.
Since this is PbP, and a lot of things happen between plays, will you be calling for a time to stop and eat (short rests?), so that we'll remember to do, so that we won't have the exhaustion (not like some of us forget to eat IRL!). If you mentioned it elsewhere, I may have missed it, but will there be an OCC message thread, or will we just do (OOC: whatever we need to discuss). I've had a couple of times when things like the spells tooltips don't link properly (for whatever reason), so if the tips aren't working, will simply linking to the appropriate content be fine? When thinking (like inner mono-logging), do you want us to also use italics, and should each person use a different color, or just any color, as long as it legible?
I thought we were starting at Level 1, but maybe i missed something - are we starting at level 3 now instead?
EDIT: Disregard, I see it now!
I actually requested, if possible to either be at L2, since I wanted my Hexadin to be able to use CHA as my main stat, and maybe consider L3, so I could also Divine Smite. If not, then I've a Peace or Twilight L1 Cleric for the campaign. Much thanks to our DM!

Good points. I will definitely try to remind you the players to take lunch breaks and such. Yes, there will be a OOC message thread, I just haven't gotten around to doing that yet. If someone else has the time and wants to, feel free to make it yourself. If tooltips aren't working, or whatever, you can always just give a quick description of what the spell does. I can always look up spells and other stuff if need be. It's really up to you guys exactly what you do when it comes to thinking, talking OOC, and talking IC. Personally, I don't normally edit the text when my character is thinking, but sometimes it seems best to for one reason or another. I'll give a full example of a post I might make when playing right after this one. Also, on the subject off tooltips, don't feel like they are needed for things like skill checks. Use them at your own judgement. I do suggest using them for spells especially though.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.

Jenson has never seen anything like these strange people before, but he does his best to hide it. {[I guess I may as well make a deception check to see if he hides his surprise.]} Deception check: -1 "Greetings. My name is Jenson, and I own this place. If you need help with anything, just let my friend Susan over their know and she'll get you situated." To himself, he says "Better keep an eye on those guys. I wonder what they are?"
I was going to remove 1 amount of rations whenever we finished a long rest (unless we were having food at a tavern)
That works. actually, I rather like the idea. Sometimes it might be best for roleplaying to actually take a break and prepare food and such, but it also makes sense if for the most part characters are just taking bites as they go.

I like that instead of "affable and cheerful" he's a sarcastic hafling with an anger problem who likes to blow things up.

I am no stranger to ration tracking lol. Depending on situation I either remove rations based on travel time (counted in days) or long rests.

Yes. Same character because I have been trying to play this character for a long time now but most campaigns I joined her in just fizzled out.
Hopefully this one won't. 😬
