We did the actual character creation tonight, so here's my group for the adventure:

Human War Cleric of Kiri-Jolith who is a Knight of Solamnia (KoS background)

Human Abjurer Wizard, who will become a White Robe Mage of High Sorcery (has taken the MoHS background).

Kagonesti (Wild) Elf Beast Master Ranger (using the Tasha's variants that will make the class/subclass actually balanced)

Tinker (Rock) Gnome Artificer (not sure on which subclass yet). Worked with the player to come up with a Wild Surge rule to make things more interesting and thematic on critical successes and failures when using his inventions.

Kender Arcane Trickster Rogue. Houseruled to be able to use a hoopak (which for some reason wasn't made a rogue weapon).


Can't wait until next Saturday to get things started! The adventure looks pretty good, and I think it's a really interesting group that will get the most of Dragonlance story.

Doesn't bode well for the products if you have had to house rule 3 of the 5 PCs.
Still hanging fire on whether to buy so threads like this are helpful for the most part.

I didn't have to houserule two of them. The only one that needed to be houseruled is the hoopak. The other two are perfectly fine as they are, RAW, and I apologize if it seemed that us adjusting the rules a bit was something that was actually necessary, instead of just doing things for character reasons and fun. In fact, the artificer one is quite a bit far away from even RAI!

I'm hoping the adventure plays well.
The Spelljammer one is just an awful collection of NPC-NPC conversations thus far ( we are about halfway through), which is just rubbish.
Keeping ears open for DL

And now that I've re-read things, I realize that, even though someone pointed it out to me before, anyone can take the KoS background and gain the feat; it's just that fighters and paladins are the only ones who can take the feat if they don't chose the background. So a War Cleric, like anyone else, can have the feat as long as they take the background (which he did), so there was no deviation from RAW there. I've edited the earlier post about the group accordingly.

Is it really D&D without house rules? ;-)
