If you're still taking applicants, I'd love to have a chance to join. I have a few questions about the game though. You mention that the game will include under the sea stuff a few times. Do we, as players, need to be building our characters with some way to overcome breathing underwater and having a swim speed, or will there be story-related access to those necessities? I only ask because constantly having to do endurance checks to hold breath and athletics to just tread water will be a big slow-down, so I wanted to know if I need to build around that, or if it will be dealt with in-story, or if it was just flavor text and underwater exploration and combat is going to be less prevalent than implied?
Either way I would love to join, I just want to make sure I'm not building a character that ends up dead in the water.
Also, would you allow any homebrew/playtest content (with discussion of course!) in this game? I have a few that I'd be interested in maybe working into the game based on party needs, and I just wanted to know if there was any tolerance for that at all? If not, I can make due, I just have been wanting to playtest my homebrews for a while now.
Hope to hear back soon!
Edit: I figured I may as well post the specific Homebrew things I'm wanting to playtest. I would like to play a
Skald Barbarian who takes the
Battle Dancer archetype. They would be a performance-based battle-dancing song-singing encouraging melee bruiser freedom fighter! I haven't narrowed down the ancestry yet, but that's the basic idea. I would also consider doing a regular Bard Battle Dancer, but I envision this character as not having magic, so I'd really
prefer them to be the Skald Barbarian Instinct instead if you're ok with that.
Also, some information about me as a player, I pretty much always check the forums Monday-Friday between 3-11 p.m. CST and can make several posts each day during that window. Outside of that window and on weekends, I am a bit less active on the forums, but I have forum notifications set to my phone, so whenever something is posted I can reply quickly assuming I'm awake. I'll do my best not to slow things down, and I'd be glad to help out with anything you might need me to do!
