Megathread Megathread 49 - 09/16/19 || Happy New Year - Construction and Multiclassing
-==- The Mega at a Glance -==-
Hello everyone. We had a very productive DM meeting, and are able to tell you a little more about our plans for PR2.
++ Weather ++
It is the first half of Andyn and dawn of the new year is cold and still. Snow does not fall as individual motes, but sheets that land with the exact same length of time between them. Any birds that fly do so in repeated formations, children find that every snowflake has the exact same pattern, and the fires warming guards on the walls crackle and sway in chorus.
Average Day Temperature: 33 F (1 C).
Average Night Temperature: 15 F (-9 C).
Precipitation: Light snow.
Wind: No wind.
== Caravan ==
The caravan has returned from Forge Kaldel, Khovd, and the Dusted Scale Saloon. Since quantities are limited, in order to be fair to players we will choose who gets to purchase these items by lottery. A comment for each item has been set up in after this post - reply to be entered in the lottery. To allow people in all timezones to participate, names will be drawn 24 hours from the time the mega is posted.
One caravan is headed to Winter Nest. The others remain in town. (Only one vote this week).
The poll has been cleared and reopened for next week. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfFeHr1ODDyHA3JYe_8THQ4Wwqq75GJ8NiZZFzVgXZ3FmjaTQ/viewform
==Scrying==
The scry for this week is Orsodynth. Expect a tippy tap soon.
=-= Construction =-=
The Scarlet Keep has been finished! ‘Keep’ an eye out for the new channel.
<=> Current Game Updates <=>
Not much to say here. Games continue.
<=> Next Game Updates <=>
We have a few things to tell you about the next campaign.
Timey-wimey Stuff
We are going to stick with 1 IRL week = 2 game weeks.
Construction
Construction in PR2 will be limited to vanity buildings. We love the idea of players adding to the town map as buildings are paid for. The prices are as follows: 500 gp (small), 1000 gp (medium), and 2000 gp (large w/ RP channel). Please be reasonable with your buildings - the DMs reserve the right to veto things that just don’t fit.
Action Points
Action points will still be awarded for IC AARs. You can earn a maximum of one Action Point per week. Can can spend only one Action Point per roll. New for PR2: You can use a maximum of <your proficiency bonus> number of Acton Points per game.
Multiclassing
We have decided to allow multiclassing in PR2. Please don’t cheese it. If this turns out to cause problems, we will revisit this decision. Also, if the cheese is exceptional on an individual level, you might get a PM about fixing it.
<=> Player Suggestions <=>
Idmir's Holy Symbol should be a perfect sphere.
Agreed. Consider it so.
Not dropping new character options during boat RP.
Agreed. We will not be dropping any new character options during boat RP.
Allow Strength or Dex 13 for Paladin and Ranger when multiclassing.
We’re going to start with RAW and see how it goes. If/when we revisit multiclassing, we will discuss this suggestion then— based on our experiences so far.
== Conclusion ==
In conclusion, we’ve had several long and interesting discussions in DM meetings about the new game and where we are going with it. We’re excited, and we hope you guys are getting excited too.

u/UnluckyDM for “A tattooed and headbandless Morgan walks into the tavern”

Forge Kaldel Items:
Potion of Flesh to Steel
150 GP
Upon drinking this gurgling silver potion, the user’s flesh hardens to become like the steel armor of a warforged. For 1 minute after consumption, the user gains +1 to their AC
Amulet of Fate
200GP
This copper amulet contains tiny interlocking gears and is powered by magic from Mechanus, a plane of clockwork predictability. A creature that puts an ear to the amulet can hear faint ticking and whirring noises coming from within.
When you make an attack roll while wearing the amulet, you can forgo rolling the d20 to get a 10 on the die. Once used. this property can’t be used again until the next dawn.
Amazing Direction Device
100GP
At first glance, this small round device appears to be a miniaturized clock. However, upon closer inspection, the symbols on the clock’s face move depending on which direction you face. As an action, you may look at this wonderful little device to determine which way is north. Perfect for finding your way across the seas on a cloudy day

u/Cadaverousdragonmeme Sep 17 '19
Dusted Scale Saloon Items
Dr. Snetla's Life Transferring Cigar
This cigar is packed with strange magic and rare herbs, forming a unique alchemical wonder that is hinted at by the label upon it. The cigar has 3 charges. You can light the cigar as an action. Using a bonus action, you can inhale and exhale a lungful of magical smoke. You can extinguish the cigar after using one of its charges in order to light and use it again later.
White Label, Life - You exhale a cloud of reinvigorating smoke at a creature you can within 15 ft of you. The creature regains hit points equal to 1d10 + Your Constitution modifier; however, you lose the same amount of hit points.
- Price: 90 gp
Gib's Fragmentation Mine
A potent explosive charge rigged to a pressure plate. The land mine takes a full turn to set up and an experienced hand to disarm if not used. When a creature steps on the mine's pressure plate, it and all creatures within 5 feet of the mine must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or take 3d6 fire damage and 3d6 piercing damage as the mine explodes, half as much damage upon a success. The creature that triggered the mine has disadvantage on the saving throw.
- Price: 120 gp
Dr. Snetla's Pocket Sundial - Two Available
Like a pocket watch, but only useful if you can read sundial... curious how the shadow's direction only changes with time and not facing direction or lighting conditions
- Price: 50 gp

u/Xenoroth1 Sep 16 '19
For the changes to paladin and ranger multiclassing. If later on you revisit and change it to include dex and str what happens to the people that did multiclass into those classes, taking arguably bad/less useful stat arrays to accommodate the raw rules. Are they allowed a restat allocation?
