[Tortle Dude]

I'm out here looking up guides about effective Bard spells to learn and shit.

...and I'm loving it.

I have a sneaking suspicion that if I get into this, BG3 is a matter of time.

 

[Nootie Plucker]

I'm liking the boomerang, bard brother.

I know the 6 in the dummy campaign might not all be in the same party, but it's such an interesting group. It's like 2 rogues on the front lines and a bunch of supports desperately keeping them alive. Beaks, Freaks, and Sneaks.

 

[Short Order]

I didn't join any dummy campaign but I'm supposed to stay out back and supply the booze for the victory parties. Also cast spells or something. But mostly be the party gnome.

And eventually fueling drunken fist dwarf shenanigans!

Just making it up and the boomerang spoke to me.

 

[Dungeon Master]

Sticking this here since it seems linking to attachments in a closed forum breaks it.

Lolz I picked a boomerang too for my bard. We're gonna have the stupidest adventuring party of all time and I am here for it

Our rogues can be dashing around up front while we sit back, play music, and occasionally chuck a boomerang.

 

[Tuberius of Wadawurrung]

Boomerangs are fun but extremely difficult to through properly

I'm being silly and filling out the remainder of my character on Beyond.

 

[Tommy Boy]

Side profile looking like the best version so far

The boomerang was so tempting because I didn't even know that was an option in D&D, but I have particular crossbow plans in mind.

I have a boomerang for long range and a sword if someone gets up in my tortley face.

Yeah I saw you had a rapier or something, right? I somehow have a dagger, but I'm not planning on going melee unless absolutely necessary. Gonna try and acquire a couple of hand crossbows and avoid enemies at all costs like a coward.

Tie fishing line to the bolt and reel it in to bring it back after you shoot it

 

[Kutshort Yes]

@The Flame you have to do it, I have persuaded you

 

[Nootie Plucker]

@The Flame you have to do it, I have persuaded you

Hmm... seems like a good idea to me. I could call it something cool like my boltfish. Yeah. Nootie and the Boltfish. I like the sound of that.

Perfection!

Also, what is insight for?

 

[Nootie Plucker]

Perfection!

Also, what is insight for?

According to a random site:

Your Wisdom (Insight) check decides whether you can determine the true intentions of a creature, such as when searching out a lie or predicting someone's next move. Doing so involves gleaning clues from body language, speech habits, and changes in mannerisms.

I mainly see it used for detecting lies, but I know there are other uses that I can't really think of right now. I kind of used it to decide if something's a good idea, but I don't know how accurate that is. That's probably something Intelligence related instead tbh

 

[Short Order]

Perfection!

Based on how you play wolf insight should be your dumper stat.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Only at the beginning of the campaign. Once we reach the endgame it gets pretty good

All this talking about doing stuff and I'm not doing stuff and I'm sad.

I can play you a tortley song with my tortley lute.

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

That would be... tortleriffic.

 

[Tortle Dude]

While I warm up the lute, I invite you to learn more about the way of Tortle Dude.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I thought you’d use your shell like a torpani (timpani)

 

[VashTheStampede]

My last character used a boomerang but the DM had me immediately lose it in the first battle. That made me sad.

My boomerang broke so I tried to throw it away, but it kept returning to me...

[Cookie Sweetmead]

Ok I did it. Made a whole new character for this place. A Halfling knowledge Cleric who's a cook and baker and is traveling the lands to learn everything she can and make all the money and connections she needs to open up the greatest tavern ever. I need a picture. I have put zero thought into what she looks like.

Cookie shield. The second one has a massive rolling pin for an arm.

Fantastic.

 

[Tuberius of Wadawurrung]

That middle one with the rolling pin arm, has had me giggling for a good 5 minutes

Omg. Thank you so much! The cookie shield is freaking brilliant.

 

[VashTheStampede]

...I might need to make a character just for a fancy picture to maybe play in someone else's campaign eventually

Ben the GOAT of images

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Even if we don’t end up playing a campaign, I’m having fun with Ben’s images
