Citadel, Warforged Cleric

D&D is becoming a bit of a thing around here.

Two days ago, my roommate decided he was frustrated that we weren't having a D&D game that week, so he decided to run one of the Tales of the Yawning Portal dungeons.

Only three of us responded on such short notice, so we rolled slightly higher level characters than the dungeon is for - going to level 7 instead of 5. We just got to our second combat encounter (though we figured out how to trigger another but are saving it for later) when we ended for the night, but might pick it up again at some point.

Anyway, I managed to a roll a character using three different books - he's a Warforged Order domain Cleric with a Far Traveler background. (So that's Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron, Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica, and Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide - hey, it's the three "setting" sourcebooks!)

Anyway, first off, Warforged are awesome in general, with their integrated armor, their lack of a need for food, sleep, or air. And it turns out that that's a really great trait in this dungeon, which is filled with gas that gradually causes poison damage to those who breathe it.

While we haven't done much of an extensive backstory, this being a spur of the moment game, we're a somewhat evil-leaning party, between my Cleric of a Lawful Evil god (though my sense is he thinks the god is Lawful Neutral,) a Goblin Druid of Spores, and a Tiefling Oath of Vengeance Paladin (if she had gone Conquest, I was thinking that my character had converted her.)

Anyway, as someone who historically has shied away from priest-like characters, I've got to say that Clerics get some fun toys. Plus, it's fun to be a full spellcaster decked in full heavy armor (or the Warforged equivalent armor setting.) I actually have higher AC than my Eldritch Knight fighter (though he's only level 4.)

Anyway, if this character goes beyond this one dungeon, I might have him eventually convert to some Lawful Good or Lawful Neutral deity (hey, is Primus a god?)
