<p>Gryknight9: </p> <hr /> <div>Hail thee of might and valor:<br /> <br /> I, the Burgomaster of Barovia, send you honor—with despair.<br /> <br /> My adopted daughter, the fair Ireena Kolyana, has been these past nights bitten by a vampyr. For over four hundred years, this creature has drained the life blood of my people. Now, my dear Ireena languishes and dies from an unholy wound caused by this vile beast. He has become too powerful to conquer.<br /> <br /> So I say to you, give us up for dead and encircle this land with the symbols of good. Let holy men call upon their power that the devil may be contained within the walls of weeping Barovia. Leave our sorrows to our graves, and save the world from this evil fate of ours.<br /> <br /> There is much wealth entrapped in this community. Return for your reward after we are all departed for a better life.<br /> <br /> Kolyan Indirovich Burgomaster</div>

Athletics is used a lot in Grappling, Shoving attacks (attacker Athletics vs defender Athletics/Acrobatics, defenders choice.)<br /> <br /> '''Guidance''': As long as you know the skill check is coming, having someone who can Guidance a check is amazing.  For skill checks: If you and another party member have proficiency in a skill, one may HELP the other (usually the person with the highest +) and that gives Advantage on the roll, they or someone else can then cast Guidance which gives a +1d4.   Resistance is..not as useful.  Maybe to help in specific instances, but I'm not breaking the game by telling you I have never used it.  On the other side, you can't use Guidance for Initiative (while an ability check it is happening too fast for you to cast a spell.) ('''Caveat:  Lets say in an ambush you are initiating you can cast Guidance on 1 person to help with that roll.''') or in occurrences where it doesn't make sense (I'm talking to the King and want to do an Insight check...I don't think he's going to want someone casting a spell.)  Helping with Survival checks and the like are all good and perhaps a pre-cast (lasts 1 minute and requires touch) before talking to someone or doing something you know is happening IS allowed.  <br /> <br /> '''I understand that the above is a bit of YES/NO/YES/NO, if you have further questions, go ahead and ask.'''<br /> <br /> '''Cleric Spells''':  Yes, 3 cantrips and they are locked.  Toll the Dead was a game changer when it came out, it scales great and if casting on something already damaged, uplift to 1d12 (e.g. Great Axe hit.) is amaze balls. I slightly disagree with Dan on Spare the Dying.  Cantrip vs. Limited resource while out in the wilderness. Also, (and I realize that Erik said Life Domain) the Grave Domain has this ability: &quot;In addition, you learn the spare the dying cantrip, which doesn’t count against the number of cleric cantrips you know. For you, it has a range of 30 feet, and you can cast it as a bonus action.&quot;  which I have seen come in handy A LOT.  Life Domain is pretty amazing with the  2+ spell level heals and using your Channel Divinity to heal. I will add that Syndra Silvane has indicated that Port Nyarzaru has to deal with constant undead incursions.<br /> <br /> Erik, you have your understanding of Cleric spells correct.  You have the full gamat available, replace/refresh on Long Rest.  You can upcast specific spells into other spell level slots (e.g. Cure Wounds at 3rd level, etc.)  There is no 'cure serious wounds, cure critical wounds' it is all cure wounds(1st level) taking up a higher casting slot that scales. <br />  <br /> <br /> '''The above being said about Healing Kit''': There is an amazing Feat &quot;Healer&quot; that &quot;As an action, you can spend one use of a healer's kit to tend to a creature and restore 1d6 + 4 hit points to it, plus additional hit points equal to the creature's maximum number of Hit Dice. The creature can't regain hit points from this feat again until it finishes a short or long rest.&quot;  Which I have seen rogues use to amazing effect.  (move into combat, heal like a low-level cleric then Bonus action disengage and move away from combat.) <br /> <br /> '''Feats''': While only Variant Humans get Feats at first level, you may want to look at Feats you'll get at 4th level as you create your PCs.  Getting the Ability Score Increase (ASI) of 2 points or a Feat is interesting, but some Feats also give +1 in specific stats (Durable, Athlete, Keen Mind to name a few.)<br /> <br /> [[5EWiki | Return to 5E Wiki Page]]</div>

Athletics is used a lot in Grappling, Shoving attacks (attacker Athletics vs defender Athletics/Acrobatics, defenders choice.)<br /> <br /> '''Guidance''': As long as you know the skill check is coming, having someone who can Guidance a check is amazing.  For skill checks: If you and another party member have proficiency in a skill, one may HELP the other (usually the person with the highest +) and that gives Advantage on the roll, they or someone else can then cast Guidance which gives a +1d4.   Resistance is..not as useful.  Maybe to help in specific instances, but I'm not breaking the game by telling you I have never used it.  On the other side, you can't use Guidance for Initiative (while an ability check it is happening too fast for you to cast a spell.) ('''Caveat:  Lets say in an ambush you are initiating you can cast Guidance on 1 person to help with that roll.''') or in occurrences where it doesn't make sense (I'm talking to the King and want to do an Insight check...I don't think he's going to want someone casting a spell.)  Helping with Survival checks and the like are all good and perhaps a pre-cast (lasts 1 minute and requires touch) before talking to someone or doing something you know is happening IS allowed.  <br /> <br /> '''I understand that the above is a bit of YES/NO/YES/NO, if you have further questions, go ahead and ask.'''<br /> <br /> '''Cleric Spells''':  Yes, 3 cantrips and they are locked.  Toll the Dead was a game changer when it came out, it scales great and if casting on something already damaged, uplift to 1d12 (e.g. Great Axe hit.) is amaze balls. I slightly disagree with Dan on Spare the Dying.  Cantrip vs. Limited resource while out in the wilderness. Also, (and I realize that Erik said Life Domain) the Grave Domain has this ability: &quot;In addition, you learn the spare the dying cantrip, which doesn’t count against the number of cleric cantrips you know. For you, it has a range of 30 feet, and you can cast it as a bonus action.&quot;  which I have seen come in handy A LOT.  Life Domain is pretty amazing with the  2+ spell level heals and using your Channel Divinity to heal. I will add that Syndra Silvane has indicated that Port Nyarzaru has to deal with constant undead incursions.<br /> <br /> Erik, you have your understanding of Cleric spells correct.  You have the full gamat available, replace/refresh on Long Rest.  You can upcast specific spells into other spell level slots (e.g. Cure Wounds at 3rd level, etc.)  There is no 'cure serious wounds, cure critical wounds' it is all cure wounds(1st level) taking up a higher casting slot that scales. <br />  <br /> '''The above being said about Healing Kit''': There is an amazing Feat &quot;Healer&quot; that &quot;As an action, you can spend one use of a healer's kit to tend to a creature and restore 1d6 + 4 hit points to it, plus additional hit points equal to the creature's maximum number of Hit Dice. The creature can't regain hit points from this feat again until it finishes a short or long rest.&quot;  Which I have seen rogues use to amazing effect.  (move into combat, heal like a low-level cleric then Bonus action disengage and move away from combat.) <br /> <br /> '''Feats''': While only Variant Humans get Feats at first level, you may want to look at Feats you'll get at 4th level as you create your PCs.  Getting the Ability Score Increase (ASI) of 2 points or a Feat is interesting, but some Feats also give +1 in specific stats (Durable, Athlete, Keen Mind to name a few.)<br /> <br /> [[5EWiki | Return to 5E Wiki Page]]</div>

Also, (and I realize that Erik said Life Domain) the Grave Domain has this ability: &quot;In addition, you learn the spare the dying cantrip, which doesn’t count against the number of cleric cantrips you know.
