[sterile briar]

Wait lots of changes happened to Druid in 2024

[unreal anvil]

Yesterday, I gain enough bravery and did a confidence roll and I hit a 1. Now im still single.

[topaz grove]

for me there's a difference between thinking about cool things to prep... and actually writing them down lol

i feel like i'm pretty well equipped for a session one though, i'm going for a pretty bombastic start and i think it'll be super fun

[fossil summit]

Heya! Sorry for bothering, but I wanted to ask regarding the wizard vs sorcerer. How often (in your experience) does swapping spells for Wizard has come up?

Anything that a Sorcerer wouldn't already have ready with their massive pool?

[topaz grove]

i might tweak some scripted stuff i had written down but otherwise i have the foundation pretty set

[undone fable]

Hi there. Since DnD is collaborative in storytelling, has anyone been the notetaker for the group?

[umbral girder]

Has a fun moment yesterday of just rolling random character stats

[marble lion]

Yes everytime which on one hand i do anyway because i hate forgetting certain things
But on the other hand just highlights how sloppy everyone else i play with is

[umbral girder]

43 is the lowest stat total I got so far

[marble lion]

They convinced the village dumbo hes a chosen hero and sent him on his way

Dump all but str and con

[clear lark]

Yes I read Circle of Moon Druid. If I never played Monk, I would probably choose that Druid subclass or Battlemaster.

[shy stirrup]

It's common for some/all/one player to take notes, tho some are more keen on doing that than others
A DM has a motive for keeping their own notes, as well

[marble lion]

Its shocking to me that basically all my friends take zero notes

And no theyre not super memory people who dont need to

They just forget nearly everything and would be as capable as npcs or less if not for notes by others

[jagged vigil]

Last party I played in was a big one, so we had one cartographer (for mapping out dungeons and such), one party castellan (tracking our expenses for our keep, our mercenaries, arranging for surveyors on our land, and handling legal correspondence), a party quartermaster (handling party equipment, food, treasure and where to sell it, etc.), a party sage (keeping track of campaign lore), a party scribe (keeping up with a historical chronicle of events), and the other players were responsible for bringing food irl to each session

We were a very successful adventuring company

Miss those guys

[loud tendon]

it is usually recommended that every player take notes of some kind as people miss things and some things are more important to one character over another.
I tend to take a lot of notes, to the point where group members just relied on mine and gave me the discord title "Scribe of the Realms" at one point..

[shy stirrup]

Yea I will confess as a player, I'm quite content to let somebody else take notes 🙂

[clear lark]

I don't remember, but I guess one may have. I know when it came to travel or crawling dungeons it was advisable for someone to track our steps so we don't get lost or check the same place twice. Of course that was depending on if there was already a map for us to see, or the DM kept it private

[shy stirrup]

Back in the day, every party would have a mapmaker, in the age of the VTT, its kinda disappeared, tho it may yet linger in Theatre of the Mind games

"The corridor extends for 30 feet, and ends at a t-junction"
And the mapmaker would scribble that out on graph paper

[jagged vigil]

Worth noting, I doubt many would describe this as the norm for 5e. This was a 1e game, and I haven't seen this kind of activity in a 5e game before

[patent ember]

Hello, how is everyone doing today?

[rough basalt]

This is pretty common ime

As a DM I usually have to take the notes for both me and them

[marble lion]

It makes me grumpy

[knotty basin]

Are there any spells like animate objects, but lower level?

[patent ember]

I have trouble writing fast and my handwriting is trash as a player.

[rough basalt]

My notes as a player are pretty sparing

I mostly just put down key stuff that'll make me remember

[marble lion]

During session, just write down names and loot

After session is when you write down notes that explain the session

You dont need fast writing because session over

[patent ember]

Im not in a group right now sadly because i got burnt out with my last one, now im scared to try online last i tried i wanted to be a player and they wanted me to be the dm.

[scenic zinc]

Share turns dm'ing

[stoic obsidian]

What d20 number rolled is your guys constant at your tables

[scenic zinc]

Last night's game had 10 nat20s

[patent ember]

this was when online, the one i got burnt out with was irl and when i was suppose to be dm they were like nah.

[patent ember]

I got 3 in a row once.

[stoic obsidian]

22 was a voodoo number for my DM one shot

[shy stirrup]

Seem to get 1's
Then, next roll, 20
🤷‍♂️

[scenic zinc]

It wasn't 10 in a row lol

[stoic obsidian]

Like imagine everyone rolling 22

[patent ember]

Ive debated on trying solo rpgs but idk? seems hard?

[rough basalt]

It's not that hard

It's usually a choose your adventure book type of thing

[patent ember]

I just like doing stuff with other humans when i can.

[stoic obsidian]

Oh you meant Ttrpg

[patent ember]

yes, my bad?

[stoic obsidian]

Tis a joke

[patent ember]

oh

[stoic obsidian]

But yeah you can do solo adventures with dnd as well

[patent ember]

but like how, thats the point i dont get?

[stoic obsidian]

You dm yourself

You create an adventure or find a solo module, create your character or characters, decide how hard the check is, and yeah

It practically self dming

[patent ember]

Im new to dnd even though ive been playing this on and off for years, ive only ever been a player, ive tried being a dm but it hasent worked out and someone else has tooken my spot.

[stoic obsidian]

They took your spot?

[patent ember]

as s possible dm, i know i dont get it either.

[stoic obsidian]

Didn’t you set up the game?

[patent ember]

I made my own mini adventure but then someone is the group took over somehow.

[stoic obsidian]

Somehow?

This just sound really unusual

[patent ember]

It was in a young adult program and i guess the older adults in charge dident think i was a good pick last minute?

[fossil summit]

@patent ember may i suggest playing the hit CRPG Baldur's Gate 3, on PC, Mac or Consoles?

[patent ember]

Im bad with wording if you coudent tell.

[fossil summit]

it's a good recreation of DND 5th edition. It's good if you don't have anyone to play dnd and just wanna play.

[stoic obsidian]

Dang, that just rough

[patent ember]

I must say it seems more pricey than the starting dnd kits.

[fossil summit]

Well, yeah. It's a full videogame, with voice acting, unique questlines, several endings.

Again, it's a patchwork suggestion.

[patent ember]

does it go on sale, i usally get video games when on sale...

[fossil summit]

Sometimes, yeah. 🙂‍↕️

[stoic obsidian]

Tho doing it at last minute, just really awful tbh, if they wanted someone else dm they shouldn’t done that last minute

Tbh I would be livid

[patent ember]

You know what i did after i left the group.

[stoic obsidian]

Good choice

[patent ember]

It was fun while it lasted.

I wonder if i should give online another shot or try something else like video games?

[stoic obsidian]

Give online a shot then video games or larping if you want

[patent ember]

I dont really think i could do larping any time soon, but yeah.

[rough basalt]

Larping seems like it'd be a lot of fun.

[undone fable]

So writing notes generally good?

[stoic obsidian]

Yeah?

Why wouldn’t they be?

It like a teacher telling you to not write notes because the writing sound bugs her

[marble lion]

If you need them to remember past events, npc names and locations and quests, then notes good and also required to actually play the game

If you have perfect memory you dont need notes

[limber trail]

Writing notes is generally a good idea

[marble lion]

Definitely

[undone fable]

thank you

[limber trail]

Write the notes you need, though. Maybe you don't need a transcript of the entire campaign or entire session

[marble lion]

Yeah

[limber trail]

Sometimes it's more important to summarize five important things than thirty things of a range of importance

[marble lion]

Quest objectives, important finds, names of quest chars and important chars, same for locations

[undone fable]

oooh ok

[knotty basin]

Is there any spell that lets the user see through an object? Like find familiar, but on an object

[violet basin]

uh, kind of yes. there is a spell or two that makes magical floating eyeballs

Arcane Eye being one of them

[jovial monolith]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/4738-ring-of-x-ray-vision?srsltid=AfmBOopzg4gtlHFzJlT3psZ-AGYXDUpeyNaR1RhXez-57CVNlXJ6FG2x

[undone fable]

So... whats the best way to have collaborative story telling in dnd?

[valid geyser]

by rolling dice

[jovial monolith]

Set the expectation during session 0 and/or prior to the session that you will be inviting the player's to collaboratively world build/progress the story in ways that you can foresee from your current position in the campaign.

"I may ask you to describe certain locations, pieces of history pertaining to your characters homeland, etc."

[glacial pulsar]

This question may seem simple to answer but there's SO MANY FACTORs it's unbelievable

[violet basin]

It doesnt seem simple at all

Collaborative Story Telling

COLLABORATIVE. Have you ever done anything with other people in a Collaborative project? ITS HELL.

[tame estuary]

for one, everyone should be onboard

it's impossible to do if there's someone on the table with different expectations

[marble lion]

all dnd is collaborative storytelling tbh

the DM just has the most control

[oak shoal]

The annoyance of wanting your players to roleplay but they all kinda sorta suck at it.

[marble lion]

my heart would break if i read this from my DM

[jovial monolith]

There are indeed many paths to the river when it comes to collaborative storytelling. I've found open, clear communication and proper expectation setting has been key for me.

Talk about it. Talk about what sparks joy for other players at the table. Then envision a collaborative approach that feels fun for you, consider how the other players approach having fun at the table, and create a plan that can meet those expectations. Once that's ready, present your plan and expectations to the players, and see if they buy in.

Open communication, proper expectations, and safety should be an ongoing practice at any table if you want to ensure everyone is having a good time.

[oak shoal]

My heart would too break but I haven't exactly told them directly

[real badger]

Hey everyone

[marble lion]

arent they new?

youre the brother DM, it sounded like youre rather fresh but idk

[oak shoal]

1 of them is and she's probably the best at roleplaying

How do I incorporate more opportunities to roleplay other then to just say "Hey guys do the roleplay."

[jovial monolith]

Figure out what your definition of "good" roleplay is, and do your best to break that down into accessible and actionable steps your players can take to comfortably embody their characters. This will serve you much better than casting judgement.

[marble lion]

if you mean roleplay purely on playerside without any NPCs involved, thats just not everyones thing to be honest

especially if the party hasnt played for a while i think thats kinda rare

[idle oar]

At a fundamental level, asking the players what their character does in a certain context and they respond with actions their character takes - that is roleplaying. They are playing their character.

[marble lion]

dont forget that dnd media is made for viewers so they have an actual purpose for those rp scenes between each other. if its just a homegame, it feels very different to do

and yes i imagine you mean dialogue, not just rp

[idle oar]

Yeah not everyone is good at or enjoys "voice acting" their character or doing more than, "My character Dubs looks at the door hinges to see if they can be easily broken."

[dusty summit]

I’m sort of new to trying to play in person, and I’m sorry if any of this is obvious.

I’ve been the type of player (online) to get really into my character and RPing relationships with PCs and NPCs, but I’ve noticed I’m scared to do that in the few sessions I have in person. I just get shy and struggle whenever anyone does anything flirty even if it’s just a joke. How do you guys deal with that? (I don’t seem to have that problem online)

[jovial monolith]

No apologies necessary, you are welcome here. 🙂

[scenic zinc]

Dialogue between PCs is a form of rp - what's the distinction in your mind?

[zenith wind]

I think the best way to draw rp from people is to place stubborn npcs in the way of that you need to persuade

[scenic zinc]

There doesn't need to be any "acting", voice or otherwise, for it to be rp.

[shy stirrup]

You might try speaking in the third person
"I pick up the axe"
vs
"My character picks up the axe"

[idle oar]

No that's a completely normal response.
Sometimes digital screens create a psychological distance that can help us feel less vulnerable.

But don't feel bad about feeling nervous!

[scenic zinc]

In that situation, if I felt the way you did, I would bring that up at that table and say that that kind of roleplay makes me feel uncomfortable and ask if other kinds of roleplay could perhaps be explored instead.

[jovial monolith]

It may be best to have an open, honest, and safe discussion with the GM, or ideally, the entire player group about what you are experiencing. It's ok to be open about things that challenge us, boundaries, and/or ask for help/inspiration.

[hot reef]

^ especially with that nature of content

[idle oar]

Yeah romanticy stuff can really make folks feel vulnerable!

[scenic zinc]

Different people are interested in playing different ways, and that's fine

[zenith wind]

My best advice is to pretend to put on a mask during gameplay and disassociate yourself from your game- and really try to ignore the fear of embarrassment

[scenic zinc]

Absolutely not this.

[zenith wind]

Being able to improv a bit is a really good skill

[scenic zinc]

Open communication is the healthiest thing to have at a table.

[idle oar]

Improv as a skill is very useful.
But masking true feelings and not addressing it honestly is usually not a good way to process or handle it.
And yeah open communication at the table solves sooo many issues.

[scenic zinc]

Bottling up your feelings will only result in issues, for everyone.

[zenith wind]

I mean when you act pretending to be someone else is very helpful

[scenic zinc]

That's significantly different than masking and hiding how you feel.

[zenith wind]

Yeah I mean masking in acting not in out of game convos

[idle oar]

Ah gotcha

[scenic zinc]

Misunderstanding on my part then, apologies.

[idle oar]

(Also that was a good example of good communication right there! Questions and clarifications so everyone comes to an understanding)

[fickle heart]

Honestly, I think that trying to ignore the fear of embarrassment is a good piece of advice, especially early on because RP is kinda awkward with zero exposure to it.

[jovial monolith]

Fear doesn't need to exist, not because of our ability to "push through" or display some form of bravado, but rather because we did the work required to create safety through communication.

[zenith wind]

Yeah you really have to fight the desire to please those around you, and not overthink consequences of your own comments

And when you make a mistake talking honestly with those around you is very important because often they will not mind it

[old sluice]

Missed your answer.
Simply put, it's a TTRPG in our world but magic came back in 2012, and some people were born as elves and dwarves and orcs and trolls. Some people are mages. It's now 2075 and things are bad

[oak shoal]

Remove the part of you that cringes, not the part of you does the cringe

[vale sage]

HELL YEAH I JUST GOT AN ESSENTIALS KIT FOR MY BIRTHDAY

[leaden sentinel]

Would someone perhaps be interested in helping me learn the game I am quite curious about it

[vale sage]

Sure my Dad got me the dragon of icespire peak

[leaden sentinel]

I’m sorry huh

[fossil hollow]

check out #dnd-newcomers

[oak saddle]

Anybody got tips for playing at a.... large table (online)

[stoic obsidian]

Ah

Guess it a common idea, since I thought of something similar

[tranquil temple]

How does one make a sandbox dnd campaign? and if someone here has played in one, how was it?

[brittle scroll]

Will someone help me with character creation, I’ve never made a character before nor have I ever played

[stoic obsidian]

Do you have access to the book?

[brittle scroll]

No I am brand new, I’ve always wanted to play and today I watched a couple videos on how to play and then came here

[stoic obsidian]

#dnd-newcomers is were you should go, also pls read the channel guide it their for a reason

[brittle scroll]

Ok

[glass granite]

I am

Conversations on non-dnd RPG’s are usually in #non-dnd-topics , but I’m fairly sure there’s a Greek inspired module in dnd

[loud tendon]

Mythic Odysseys of Theros is a Greek myth inspired adventure for D&D https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/category/mythic-odysseys-of-theros?pid=SRC-00061

but other rpgs are as Nugget said, best left to non-dnd-topics

[violet halo]

hey have yall ever had a player roll 4 nat 20s on D&D Beyond at Advantage? Because I just did and I don't even KNOW the statistics on that?????

[glass granite]

Like, they had 4 rolls and all were Nat 20?

[ashen pecan]

I'm currently in this session and yes

[violet halo]

Hold on lemme grab the reciepts

[past iron]

At some point I need to buy some of the books.

[glass granite]

1/20^4
so 1 in 16000

[past blaze]

0.00000625%
that is a very very slim chance

[glass granite]

-# math

[violet halo]

I can't post the reciepts bc no pics. But yes. they hit four Nat 20s with advantage on a Level 5 Scorching Ray innate sorcery.

[safe glade]

<-- the player in question who rolled the 4 nat 20's. I am the problem and I have no words

[violet halo]

can confirm.

[glass granite]

Then it’s not 1/16000, it’s a lil higher. And more complicated to calculate

It would be…
(39/400)^4

0.0090368789%?

[past iron]

I definitely still need to order the 2024 books. I just haven't been able to do so yet.

Only question is do I get the physical+digital bundle, or just the digital?

[past basin]

i would just get one or the other tbh

[pine silo]

this is too hard trying to find a group to play with

[past basin]

having both would be really expensive no?

[daring hinge]

what age did yall start playin d&d?

[past basin]

thats real

[pine silo]

like, yesterday

[fair plinth]

Is there any way an aarakocra paladin or cleric could get a decent ac without compromizing their flight ability?

[pine silo]

ask chatgpt

[past iron]

Having the physical books would be nice, however I feel like the digital versions might be more worthwhile.

[past basin]

ew chatgpt mention

[fair plinth]

Chatgpt is silly and thats putting it nicely

[past basin]

i feel like it would depend on which one u use more

[past iron]

I mean, I have the app on my phone so, there's that.

[haughty latch]

What's the lowest level a player character class can feasibly kill a level 20 pc

[pine silo]

idk ask another ai

[pine silo]

ask some ai

[past iron]

And if I ever got a tablet, I could put the app on there too. Speaking of which, I do want to get a tablet at some point to use for D&D.

[past basin]

3rd party thinker

[pine silo]

what

[past basin]

yeah the digital version would be good then

[pine silo]

is that a bad thing?

[past iron]

IDK. Ask chatgpt if it's bad

[pine silo]

can i ask it if you're bad

[past basin]

i only ever get physical if i ever buy campaigns

[oak shoal]

Chatgtp is a second hand thinker

I'd rather trust the opinions of a real person in a discord then a robot

[past iron]

I'm evil. I'm sinister. I'm diabolical

[pine silo]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE HORRORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[past iron]

Exactly. I mainly use it to ask stupid questions. I don't ask for it's opinions though.

[pine silo]

what if the person who told you the info got it from a robot

[oak shoal]

Are you mega minding it?

[pine silo]

what if they're a filthy clanker sympathizer

[past iron]

I be asking it stuff like "Could 5000 rats kill an ancient red dragon"

[pine silo]

what if i asked it the question u just asked and reword it

[past iron]

What if I uh um uhh cast fireball

[pine silo]

THAT WAS A GOOD ONE!

[limber trail]

In what context?

This really changes a lot. First of all, I'm assuming this is a straight fight where both are trying to kill one another. I'd say level 10 is maybe where you start to be able to survive a few rounds with a level 20 adventurer, but you still don't have the firepower. Realistically, at those high levels, it kinda becomes scissors/paper/rock. Anyone who's ever done even low level DnD PvP can speak to how easy it is to cheese it. I've done two PvP 1v1s in my time and both of them at some point kinda ended in a stalemate where everyone agreed not to use certain abilities or actions.

[woven flint]

KNOOOOOME!

MY NEMESIS!!!!

[limber trail]

foe!

[woven flint]

Where were you?

I pinged you :<
In Ti's server

[haughty latch]

Not sure really. I guess yeah just a straight up fight 1v1 with maybe a small amount of prep

[limber trail]

i didnt see it

[woven flint]

Oh

I just said hi and sent an octopus staring

[past iron]

Might wanna delete that bro. Kinda inappropriate.

[pine silo]

fine fine fine

[past iron]

You seem cool. Don't wanna see you get in trouble

[worthy maple]

Ah, something hilarious just happened that as a dm, I had to make a special homebrew feat for

[pine silo]

why are your usernames purple

and why is mine red

[limber trail]

The issue kinda is that DnD isn't built for 1v1s with players. It is comically easy to survive long periods of time. A druid can wildshape into a giant badger and chill underground. It's hard to say because it always depends on who the combatants are. In a matchup where the lower level player can perfectly make their build to counter the higher level player, maybe level 15 or 16 is where it gets convincingly possible?

[woven flint]

Are you perhaps...
Colorblind?
Because your name is green and theirs is blue

[haughty latch]

Fair fair

[pine silo]

it is?

[woven flint]

Mhm

[pine silo]

idk i havent taken a test before

[glass granite]

Wait what colour is Tokii for you?

[woven flint]

It's nothing to be ashamed of!

[pine silo]

red?

[glass granite]

Hm. Seems you might be

[pine silo]

what colour should i be seeing

[woven flint]

Green

[glass granite]

I see green

[worthy maple]

I see a pale olive green

[pine silo]

whatever i like red more anyways

[glass granite]

Red is goated

[worthy maple]

Sorry, I'm peculiar about my greens

[glass granite]

Hi peculiar about my greens, I’m Nugget

[pine silo]

lol

[worthy maple]

But to make things easier on you, Call me Error

[woven flint]

Hell yeah!
Never let it get you down, bud >:]

[glass granite]

Yeah peculiar about my greens is a bit wordy

[worthy maple]

It's the double middle name

[pine silo]

im not color blind

[past iron]

Bro finds out he's colorblind while chatting in the official D&D Discord server.

[pine silo]

i lied cause i was finding it funny

[past iron]

Bruh

[glass granite]

Hi not color blind, I’m Nugget

[pine silo]

lol

[worthy maple]

Hi nugget, I'm peculiar about my greens, but you can call me Error

[past iron]

Hi, I'm

[worthy maple]

Anyway, jokes, over now :3

[glass granite]

noted

[pine silo]

i call it liberty green cause it looks like the statue of liberty oxidization colour

[limber trail]

@woven flint called it

[worthy maple]

Eh, to me it's like a rustic olive

[woven flint]

Bruh.

[pine silo]

im good at acting at least

[glass granite]

Tbf Tokii it was mildly obvious

[pine silo]

lol

[worthy maple]

anyone know the hexcode for it?

[woven flint]

I'm a very kind and compassionate person.

[pine silo]

do u like it that much

[worthy maple]

No, it's the tism

[woven flint]

I just like being supportive lol

[pine silo]

oh

[glass granite]

Hi a very kind and compassionate person, I’m Nugget.

[limber trail]

Yeah I wasn't gonna say anything but nobody is gonna ask why people's names are purple. Plus. most colourblind filters don't confuse green for red.

[glass granite]

Anyway quick back to dnd before we’re smitedddd

[limber trail]

yall got dnd games coming up?

[pine silo]

there are specific kinds of color blindness, i dont think mistaking cyan for purple and green for red is one

[worthy maple]

Just finished dming one

[glass granite]

I’m vulnerable to “This is a reminder, not a warning” damage
And yeah I think I’m having one next weekend

Plus may be starting a pbp one soon

[limber trail]

Swag

[worthy maple]

It's hard to do a campaign ment for four or more people with just two

[glass granite]

I have 8 players in my party
Some people die of thirst while others drown

(Granted, it’s a homebrew setting)

[worthy maple]

No, our cleric tried to jump infront of a hit ment for the rogue (the other pc) nat 1 on the athletics check, ended up barreling into them, and because they were a construct, dealing the remaining 3 damage needed to knock the rogue down to death saves

[glass granite]

Oh wow

[past basin]

damm

[glass granite]

Damm indeed

[worthy maple]

And then the two npcs I had just to make the party at least somewhat rounded out ended up taking out the enemy they were fighting

[woven flint]

Best fail ever tbh lmao

[glass granite]

Only thing that would’ve made it better would be to have the cinematic cut just as they collided

[worthy maple]

Yeah, just -WHAM- okay so that's gonna be -Frantically rolling d4s- somehow only 3 damage

[woven flint]

"Damnit, you stupid robot! Y'shoulda just let him hit me!"

[worthy maple]

no because the cleric has enough ac to deflect one of the hits, whereas the attacks aimed at the rogue would've taken them out out

[bronze wave]

Did the rogue succeed the saves?

[worthy maple]

They got healed because that battle ended next turn

and the warlock npc had one cast of a healing spell

[velvet fossil]

working on setting up a new character. a battle smith kenku astral wanderer might sound like it goes hard

[stuck shuttle]

Sounds fun but pretty stat heavy

[velvet fossil]

Yeah I was looking at other species, just a Lil raven dude controlling a steel defender sounds pretty cool

[sterile briar]

My dm offered to change moon Druid so I could hit higher CR wildshapes does this sound like a bad deal?

Basically they said that I can do level/ 2 rounded up rather than level/3 rounded down for my CR giving me access to pretty good stuff early on BUT…. And damage my beast form would take will come out of my real HP so I take 20 damage as a bear and revert back then my character is taking 20 damage to the face right away…

Does this sound like a terrible idea

[shut cove]

Random question honestly just for fun to see what people say
If you as a person had a dnd class what class would it be and what subclass as-well, also why?

(Blade-singer wizard)

[worthy maple]

Hexblade warlock

[velvet fossil]

Do u use campaign cartographer 3

[empty thicket]

Need a little help with a question, if i use 2 arms, dual wielding fighting style, that mean i could do like 1 attack with each hand?
Like, attack action = attack with both weapons

And in case i could, it stack with the extra attacks of a class such like Fighter? Meaning that at lvl 7 for example, i could do 4 attacks per turn?

[glass granite]

Yes

[worthy maple]

perfect

[glass granite]

No

[empty thicket]

Would mean i can do the 2 attacks with one weapon and only 1 with the another? call it sword//axe. Could i do 2 attacks with the sword and 1 with the axe?

[past blaze]

you only have one bonus action, so only one additional attack from the Light property

[glass granite]

You can do 3 attacks in any weapon you’d like, two from attack action and one as a bonus action

[past blaze]

otherwise you're relying on your base "amount of attacks per attack action"

[empty thicket]

Okey okey, so it only add one extra attack, until i get the next extra attack and do 4, etc. etc.

[past blaze]

no

[shut cove]

Sorry i understand now.
No i do not i just made a big paper map and was planning on trying to fill a note book full of smaller sections of the large one so then i named myself it in a private server and then i made it an in game character and whatever anyway i looked up what you were taking about and that looks awesome i will have to check it out and try.

[empty thicket]

Im talking about figther for context

[past blaze]

You only have one bonus action
you only get one total additional attack from the Light property, outright.

You have 1 base attack + 1 Light attack
At level 5 to 10, you have 2 base attacks, + 1 Light attack.
At level 11 to 19, you have 3 base attacks, +1 Light attack.
At level 20, you have 4 base attacks, +1 Light attack.

[empty thicket]

Okey, kinda what i said but more explained, thanks.

[shut cove]

Im currently playing fighter and have had a bit of confusion with this as-well but i think nick property/mastery allows you to combine your bonus attack with an attack so thats 2 light attacks? I might be wrong dont tell my dm.

[onyx quarry]

Hello

[past blaze]

I think #dnd-rules message covers it
The short story: Nick says that when you do the attack from Light, you can make it as part of attack action instead of BA, but you can only make this attack once per turn.
The attack, It, This attack. That's consistent wording referring to the attack from light, and appending a 1/turn limit to the attack from the light property. So the Light property caps out at only ever providing +1 attack total on any individual turn, sadly

[shut cove]

Hi

[shut cove]

My understanding is you can only make it as a part of the stack action once per turn but your probably right. I’m still not telling my dm…

[limber trail]

Adding to this, the wording also says "Instead of a bonus action", which means it replaces the bonus action with the free action.

[limber trail]

This is fully your choice but I will say, it's a bad idea to play the game incorrectly knowlingly without talking to your DM. It undermines a lot of the trust in the game and generally sucks.

[onyx quarry]

I never realize how scary dming is til you think you have a really strong idea, then right down everything you have and its like 1 notebook page total

[glass granite]

Wow that’s more than me

[remote wadi]

Spellcasting characters are a must have choice already

But what I would give to give to be a Cleric or Wizard...

[limber trail]

It depends how big your idea is but one page of written prep for a session is more than I sometimes do

[remote wadi]

So many people would need to worry about a Lightning Bolt/Fireball

[limber trail]

It depends level but moon druid seems like a pretty solid pick

[shut cove]

Thats true ill talk to him about it still going to miss the extra attacks.

[past blaze]

yeah, IMO it's better to know a rule, why it is that way and what it means, and then purposefully bend/change it, than it is to run based on assumptions

[limber trail]

You'll get more later, don't worry about it.

[limber trail]

see my thinking is, I don't often run into combat issues in my day to day life. That's just not a problem I run into. But being able to turn into a bird or something at will? That sounds great.

[past blaze]

There's a difference between making Light be doubled attacks because you think that's how it works, leading to maybe getting bombed with "That's not how that works" as a brick wall some day
and knowing it's only +1 attack but deciding to buff it as bonus attacks purposefully

[limber trail]

To this point I will add: Do not expect for it to be buffed. Your honesty is important and great but it doesn't automatically come with a reward of +1 attack per round and thinking it will is gonna lead to disappointment

honesty is an expectation of the game, not a choice to be made when advantageous

[past blaze]

it basically comes down to knowing what the expectation is of everyone else reading the same rules

[raw ocean]

I still don’t understand why people try to get stuff buffed or power build, at the end of the day the DM’s whole job is to balance the fights to fit the party

[empty thicket]

Fighter, battlemaster.
Im a cook so i must use many cooking styles between desserts, sauces, pastas,etc. etc.
So using many STYLES like maneuvers and having to endure looong events with a second wind (30 minutes rest, short rest) in between.
Being able to use a lot of "weapons" (tools and equipment)

[empty thicket]

My dm for testing our damage outpost made us fight an owlbear with 800hp

A tarrasque have around 680

[remote wadi]

Hence why spellcasting is a major influence if we could pick classes irl

And considering how strong spells are, damaging or not, people are desperately going to think twice before getting on your bad side

Example A: Silvery Barbs

[empty thicket]

We managed to drop the owlbear to around 100hp before he flee out of the arena

[raw ocean]

Be glad that they tested, some DM’s just slap you against 2X difficulty mid-game because “John Knight” has a power build

I’m hoping they didn’t drop that mid-game 😔

[limber trail]

I try to adopt a "don't snitch" policy on my other players because I don't wanna be that guy but I have seen people make aggregious, known misunderstandings of their characters abilities and handwave it away. Stuff like playing wizard/cleric multiclasses and not taking the downsides of that (which is that the spells you can take are of a lower level, even if you have the slots of a higher level) as well as ignoring armour rules etc.

[past blaze]

casually dropping an owlbear with more health than a tarrasque is quite outlandish yeah

[empty thicket]

Fortunately, we are "balanced" but still didnt used most of our potential.
Last session i finally got buffed by the bard, haste and did 1 turn with that.
Bard got concentration broke, i got stuned by that and that it is..... was too nice to be true.

[raw ocean]

It was like a “test” fight not canon to the story right?

[limber trail]

Is this a frequent issue in your day to day life?

[empty thicket]

yeah, like side missions we are doing in the "vacations" that our boss gave us

[remote wadi]

I would really not want to ask about my irl life if I were you

But as a very baseline example, I would jink people very often for constantly getting on my nerves

[stray atlas]

so bit of an odd question

[empty thicket]

For now they were, that owlbear, kill a giant octopus and will see what is the next mission in the next session

[stray atlas]

is there any type of sword with a thorn whip like effect?

[empty thicket]

I asked him if we could raid some cultist bases because we got info from some prisoners.

[raw ocean]

My players wanted levels and more fights so I threw a CR 5 troll at them and some goblins

[past blaze]

Sword? Not to my knowledge. Only other idea is the Inescapable Lash whip

[stray atlas]

damn

[raw ocean]

The goblin archers were about to get 2 kills on the kill board because my players decided to ignore them

[stray atlas]

thanks anyways, gotta change plans

[empty thicket]

he trew us a giant when we were like... lvl 4 or 5....we killed him and in some other mission we fought a Twins guardians ghosts that if they landed their 4 attacks literally obliterated any of us.

I love that dm honestly, i like such challenges

[raw ocean]

You right, my barbarians is eating too good, time to throw spell casters at them

[empty thicket]

i come from playing darkest dungeon and stuff like that, im used to the challenges and love them

[raw ocean]

I came from fear and hunger

I also played darkest dungeons too, great game

[empty thicket]

Same, did all endings (the ragna and enki, the other 2 are just walking simulator and 1 fight)

[limber trail]

You could use an enspelled weapon with thorn whip as the spell. That lets you cast it up to 6 times per day as an action, and then recovers 1d6 charges at dawn.

[empty thicket]

im planing someday make a campaign like that game.

[raw ocean]

Please call upon me when you make it 🙏

[empty thicket]

will see, im still new and need to learn stuff.

[raw ocean]

I want to go through at least 100 character sheets minimum/j

[limber trail]

alternatively you can just make your own HB sword with similar properties

[raw ocean]

Same, lately I’ve been spoiling my players by buying a 50$ VTT for us to use

[empty thicket]

Bro have a whole book ready for his torture, amazing

[empty thicket]

im thinking of that, is one time pay and is giga useful

[raw ocean]

I love foundry ❤️

It is one time pay and super useful, there’s also add-ons to “mod” it

[remote wadi]

What exactly do you mean frequent issue?

[raw ocean]

Only downside is a learning curve

[empty thicket]

my dm use it, i will force him to teach me

I will torture him like he tortured me.

20 monkeys with rabies.

[raw ocean]

My players been getting “No I am not revealing multiple parts of the map if yall want to split up”

Foundry will free me 😭

[empty thicket]

Oh yeah, that is... a thing too, roll20 or others dont have such feature of lighting and its problematic

[raw ocean]

The worst part is storage

[limber trail]

I'm really just making a joke because not a lot of people really get into situations where those spells are helpful in day to day life

[empty thicket]

tho, add a rule about nightvision too, help yourself to adapt easier

[raw ocean]

Wdym I only get 100MB when I’m using highly detailed maps

But with foundry I get 30 gigs

[inner silo]

Alter self would be used scarily often

[fossil summit]

Tbh if spells existed irl, just using any charm spell would have you put in a registry.

[raw ocean]

People already use permanent alter self, plastic surgery

[glass granite]

I'd be a bard

[inner silo]

Illusion spells could be bad too

[limber trail]

the most useful spells would be like, mundane stuff like mage hand or mending

[inner silo]

It costs a lot of money and is dangerous though

[raw ocean]

Create food and water would stop world hunger

[empty thicket]

More than one time i would liked to use Fire bolt and obliterate someone or use Borrowed knowledge and pass a test

[raw ocean]

But how would you level up, attacking other humans?

[fossil summit]

🏳️‍⚧️ alter self, trans rights.

[inner silo]

There's not much mage hand could do irl i feel. Mending would be op though. Druidic craft would be cool too lowkey

[empty thicket]

Experience, that it is

[inner silo]

Yeah another goated spell

[empty thicket]

You learn how to work better in magic, weapons, tools ,etc. etc.
With that you learn how to manage the magic nad get more spells

[fossil summit]

Having extra hands is always useful.

[limber trail]

having a third hand that you can use independent of your own body sounds great. Just to get things from high up places, etc.

[inner silo]

It's a pretty weak hand iirc

[glass granite]

I'd love suggestion

[empty thicket]

Mage hand would be peak for me honestly

[inner silo]

Ig

[fossil summit]

Going in the registry, post haste.

[inner silo]

Nah that one should be made illegal

[glass granite]

Enhance ability goes hard too

[raw ocean]

Simulacrum to make myself a permanent friend

[empty thicket]

Using invulnerability while im cooking with caramel so i dont burn

[glass granite]

Most definitely, but i'd just make it for people to just be nice

[raw ocean]

Wind walk so I don’t need a car anymore

[fossil summit]

Fly is a level 3 spell.

[red steppe]

Minor Illusion for irl would be awesome

[inner silo]

Water walk and find familiar

[empty thicket]

Any exam or stuff like that would be in the range of a ward that have the counterspell effect so no one cheat

[red steppe]

You'll pass out for 1 minute tho

[glass granite]

Metamagic adept, subtle spell

[empty thicket]

Your life insurance would give you X numbers of revives

[fossil summit]

Illusionist wizard, no verbal components.

[raw ocean]

Worth it

[past blaze]

unseen servant tho

[inner silo]

Ngl all clerics would be millionaires

[red steppe]

Maybe ill have Wish instead, only to replicate lower level spells, id rather have a Pegasus over using a car

[raw ocean]

The second I got wish spell I would wipe out all annoying bugs that aren’t essential to the ecosystem

[glass granite]

OH YES

[fossil summit]

"Maybe I'll just have one of the most powerful spells in existence, capable of rewriting all of reality."

[inner silo]

Find familiar too

[red steppe]

Tiny Servants

[limber trail]

Alter self only lasts for an hour, so it's not incredible for this. True Polymorph is probably just the best for this, but you could also take 2 levels in warlock for mask of many faces, or to be fair 5 levels in warlock does net you alter self for free forever

I still stand by druid. There is so much utility in that class.

[raw ocean]

True polymorph and become a dragon

[empty thicket]

forensics would have it easier using "speak with deads"

[past blaze]

does all the chores for you
cleans everything, takes out bins, etc. It says "simple tasks" and doesn't include cooking food in the list, but it can serve, light fires, clean mend, and fold clothes, so I'd say cooking is reasonably more simple than actually mending things, imo

[remote wadi]

For me, it would be useful. In the case of spells less about damage, they're often as useful as people like family members and glorified bullies are nuisances. Which is to say often

As for spells that could hurt, have them and not need them > need them and not have them

[red steppe]

Look, most ppl would use the other options and eventually die from the necrotic damage stress lol

[inner silo]

Clerics have better access to healing spells though and those would definitely be the best

[limber trail]

See I still feel like, I don't get hurt that often in my day to day life? I wanna get spells which solve my daily problems, which aren't the problems a lot of spells are built for

[red steppe]

Crime investigations made effortless with divination spells

[raw ocean]

Any spell that would make it easier to prep D&D sessions and know every rule

[past blaze]

enhance ability

[limber trail]

A spell I would love is legend lore.

[past blaze]

or guidance

[red steppe]

Greater Restoration would be peak irl too

[inner silo]

Do you know how much money you could make if you could just use 1st, 2nd and 3rd level healing spells a day?

[past blaze]

Regeneration would be obscenely powerful IRL

[raw ocean]

It’s 3.5 but make whole would be amazing for fixing literally anything

[fossil summit]

Prestidigitation, mage hand, minor illusion. Also, another spell that you can always use on your day to day life: create or destroy water.

ALWAYYS HAVING A DISPENSEF OF COOL WATER

[empty thicket]

Artificers would be engineers
Clerics and druids medics
Wizards administrative
Warlocks Workers from big companies
Fighters polices
What else?

[red steppe]

Heal bone injuries within minutes

[inner silo]

Just go to America, start your own mini clinic and heal people for 3rd the price

[past blaze]

Lost eyes? Regen.
Lost limbs? Regen.
Wounded? Regen.
Probably organ damage / broken bones / organ failure? Regen

[empty thicket]

or in last stance, revivify

[red steppe]

True Resurrection someones loved one for their birthday

[inner silo]

Barbarians would be leaders and protectors in their societies like the phb says

[past blaze]

reincarnate, while implying a lot... also a bit troublesome given the requirement of death

[empty thicket]

would be funny seeing a barbarian going for president honestly.

[fossil summit]

fighters policemen

Does he know?

[deft herald]

Bro it’s so hard trying to start playing dnd

[red steppe]

Settles political debates in trial of combat

[inner silo]

Their rage manifesting as patriotic yearning

[deft herald]

Literally everyone is creep or jerk who wants someone experienced

[raw ocean]

You must go through 15 DM’s that ghost after session 2 like the rest of us, it’s a canon event

[fossil summit]

This is just Senator Armstrong from metal gear solid rising revengance

[empty thicket]

UFC for presidency

[deft herald]

Who decided that?

[raw ocean]

Reality

[red steppe]

So true

[deft herald]

Screw reality imma make my own path

[empty thicket]

no, i dont. I said like a general

[raw ocean]

I personally was so angry I started DMing myself, sessions are going great

[deft herald]

On some mc shi

[empty thicket]

or you want the Fighter being a chef//cook?

[fossil summit]

It was me, Barry. I created scheduling conflicts and manipulated your algorithm so you would always hear and see D&D but NEVER be able to play it!

[red steppe]

Bro Prestidigitation would be the only spell that would get me to eat veggies more often since i get to change the taste and texture of it

[raw ocean]

Which feat would be the most useful in day to day life?

[red steppe]

Magic Initiate

[past blaze]

yeah magic initiate

[fossil summit]

Chef

[raw ocean]

I would go with lucky, that would save me in so many scenarios

[glass granite]

skilled
or skill expert

[past blaze]

you could get find familiar (a cat or dog that will never die of old age or an accident, just summon them back with some incense and herbs and stuff), mage hand, and... idk, dealer's choice elsewise

[empty thicket]

For now im not planing of use any armor or weapons so i wont need them.
Telekinetic sound nice honestly
Skilled or skill expert sound comfy

[inner silo]

Tavern brawler tbh

[raw ocean]

Interesting choices

[empty thicket]

Rune shaper dont sound bad tho

[inner silo]

They also get access to distort value right?

[raw ocean]

If I could take a boon, I would probably go with the boon of immortality

[past blaze]

that is not useful day to day unless you're truly going for a saul goodman tier scam artist livelihood

[inner silo]

Boon of dimensional travel would make traveling so easy

[inner silo]

Most the stuff you buy is half off though

[lavish flame]

I loathe Distort Value as a spell. Just feels like it promotes the worst kind of behavior

[past blaze]

if you do a 1 minute casting audible and visible to at least 60ft away

[inner silo]

Ik, easy work

[glass granite]

A buncha of the boons would be sooooo good

[raw ocean]

Boon of skill proficiency would be useful

[remote wadi]

Also, Distort value wouldn't be too bad if you knew when and how to use it

[past blaze]

"Hey boss some guy's been chanting and waving his hands over the TV for the last 30 seconds should I get security"
not exactly

[inner silo]

What about the classic PAM?

[remote wadi]

That being?

[raw ocean]

Proficiency in all skills

[red steppe]

That would be so good with Guidance, obtaining PHDs would become easy

[remote wadi]

I mean, it seems okay-ish

[inner silo]

Alright, you could grab cleric magic initiate with guidance and cure wounds though. Heal a person a day

[remote wadi]

Less about getting a PHD, more about actually being able to apply said knowledge and experience

[inner silo]

I mean, you just know and can do everything pretty well

[raw ocean]

Being able to be good at everything is quite a good add-on in my opinion

[empty thicket]

A jack of all trades indee

[inner silo]

It's not even like you're great at everything but you're at least decent at everything

[remote wadi]

Some of the time, yeah. But at the same time, a +6 is pretty monstrous, and a +12 with expertise

[inner silo]

Yeah

[empty thicket]

That is a lot, until you start realizing that you are Okey in everything you do, you wont understand how op you are with that

[remote wadi]

But at the same time, everything is still a dice roll

[raw ocean]

Well if it’s real life, you wouldn’t be rolling dice

You would just quite literally be “proficient” at everything

[limber trail]

In a better world yes but I have a lot of concerns that any attempts I make to spend my days healing people will be quickly overriden. Plus, spell slots are pretty limiting really, when you break it down. I assume I'm not 20th level by any means. I can't do that much healing most likely.

[raw ocean]

Like, quantum mechanics

[remote wadi]

I suppose so

But how exactly would that make you rich, per se?

[inner silo]

Still very useful i think. Idk, I'd try it at least

[cobalt owl]

Nothing motivates one quite like spit

[red steppe]

Isnt there also the problem of ppl forming cults based on you?

[raw ocean]

I prefer not being frustrated with trying to make cheese cake over being rich

[still bolt]

i dunno why i even check the announcements 😭

[raw ocean]

Also, no one can ever say I’m bad at anything

I’m decent at everything

Aren’t the announcements just advertising random things?

[still bolt]

yyeah,,

90% are blocked for me too,,

[raw ocean]

A million dollars or the ability to use one D&D spell a day (excluding wish)

[still bolt]

😭 i don't like the individual dnd spells enough to choose that one , , , ,

if the other choice was asuka doppelkreutz powers then i would be unsure

[raw ocean]

She has powers? 🥀

[glass granite]

The spell, creation exists.

[raw ocean]

Spoilers: ||I thought her only power was getting 27 spears to the chest||

Wait wrong asuka

[remote wadi]

Easy to say that when you're not in poverty, I guess

But hey. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire would be fun

[raw ocean]

We are all in poverty, I sweat when I have to buy groceries

D&D genuinely the only thing holding me together

[glass granite]

-# atomic bonds

[rich axle]

Hi everyone it’s nice to meet you all I have just joined looking to get into dnd after I have played very slightly before then I moved and couldn’t find a group again

[glacial pulsar]

how are you able to make small text btw?

[raw ocean]

Wait I’m sorry don’t leave me atomic bonds spontaneously combusts

[glass granite]

"-#"

[raw ocean]

-# I like apples

[glass granite]

cookie 🍪

[glacial pulsar]

-# Wow

[raw ocean]

-# someone farted

[remote wadi]

Counterpoint: you can afford groceries. And even if you can't, I'm willing to bet you wouldn't have to deliver them by foot

[marble lion]

Hey ill take rich

John doesnt want it

[chrome onyx]

Guys

I have the worst idea known to man

Twenty strength bard

[limber trail]

can be decent

Valor bard or something similar

[red steppe]

Nothing tops equal parts paladin and equal parts monk

[chrome onyx]

With a creative player and dm it would be unstoppable

And piano would be a reasonable instrument for bard

[red steppe]

Lmao

[dull lagoon]

[limber trail]

ability scores

that tends to stop them

Needing a 13 in four stats, and realistically also needing a fifth good stat for your con

[raw ocean]

"the minimum income needed to meet basic needs", with what your describing

your below the poverty line and all I can say is good luck bro

[reef tundra]

POV: Zariel uses immolating gaze on you

[cobalt owl]

Theres easier ways to burst into flame

[reef tundra]

I suppose it would be pretty hard to come face to face with Zariel

[glass granite]

Just gotta be a wizard with fireball

[cobalt owl]

Danger close yourself

[old berry]

Just be an idiot of cosmic proportions whilst in avernus

[limber trail]

Getting to avernus itself is quite a mission

[old berry]

That is true, but possible

you can make a pact with another devil, find a colour pool, get plane shift through some means

[reef tundra]

Or simply, easily, and quickly, become level 17 and cast astral projection and just easily find a portal to Avernus

[old berry]

That works too

[limber trail]

the easy easy task of becoming a 17th level adventurer

[old berry]

You might consider casting gate with Zariel as the target at that point

[limber trail]

Fighting a tarrasque or something "Hey why are you even doing this?" "Oh, I wanted to be burnt to death"

[raw ocean]

I hit level 17 a month ago, it is not fun 😔

[limber trail]

congrats

[raw ocean]

"The boss actually has 27 legendary resistances"

[reef tundra]

Oh my god, gate exists. I now consider astral projection even more useless

Unless you’re broke

[old berry]

Plane shift to the astral plane also exists as a 7th lvl spell

[raw ocean]

The funnest thing about being level 17 is casting force cage three times in a row

[reef tundra]

I suppose, guess it’s fork-searching time

[raw ocean]

"He escaped your force cage!" I cast force cage.

[reef tundra]

Boy I’m glad I don’t run tier 4 campaigns anymore

[limber trail]

if you wanna get to avernus you can just planeshift to avernus, no need to get the astral plane in on it

[raw ocean]

It's horrible for everyone

[glass granite]

I have never done a campaign above lvl 6

[raw ocean]

DM has to go insane balancing an encounter and players go insane trying to survive

[reef tundra]

That… sounds like a better idea

[old berry]

I'm aware, I was just pointing out how useless astral projection is

[raw ocean]

My character is able to die three times in a row without rolling death saves

[old berry]

For players

[reef tundra]

My philosophy when running tier 4 is “you’re strong enough to take whatever I throw at you”

Fighting two gravity giants and an archdevil at the same time goes hard

[limber trail]

I've decided that Tier 4 in my campaign is only gonna happen if they fail the Tier 3 main quest and need to do some.... course correcting ||[Which would be killing the entire pantheon]||

[raw ocean]

Say that to the the "incident", half of the party I was in died at level 17

CR 25 enemy

[glass granite]

Throws The DM at the players
Ok maybe not everything

[raw ocean]

My DM threw a homebrew creature at us that had true sight, blind sight, 5 legendary resistances, 3 level 9 spells per day, and more at us

[old berry]

Jeez

[raw ocean]

AC of 23 btw

[limber trail]

That seems doable at level 17

[raw ocean]

Half of the party died to ravenous void

[limber trail]

it depends on party size i guess

[raw ocean]

6 people

[old berry]

Just introduce your DM to sul khatesh, she's usually challenging to any party

[limber trail]

That's doable for 6 people

[old berry]

Definately

[raw ocean]

Did I mention that there was another CR 20 enemy with him?

[old berry]

Though it depends on the spells they have, some can be annoying to deal with

[raw ocean]

That could quite literally just do a world cutting slash and set our 200 HP party member to 3 HP

But worst of all...

[limber trail]

I do think on some level Tier 4 is deceptive because people kind of start playing worse. It's a game design thing, you get more options so it's harder to pick decisively, and you're physically stronger so you play more carefully, whereas at lower levels you gotta use your kit to it's full effect and make carefully considered decisions.

[cobalt owl]

I had an Empyrean as an additional monster for a boss lol

[raw ocean]

THEY HAD MULTIPLE STAGES WHERE THEY HEAL BACK TO MAX WHEN THEY HIT IT, AND THEY GET THEIR LEGENDARY RESISTANCES BACK BOOOOOO!!!! 👻

You guys scared yet?

[glass granite]

-# Scale down on the cap locks

[cobalt owl]

Nope

[rotund shell]

My last character died fighting a balor. I ain't even mad, it was badass.

[glass granite]

And yeah I’m not scared, I just punch stuff as a monk

[cobalt owl]

True sight/blindsight are pretty normal at higher levels

5 lrs is on the higher end

[limber trail]

5LRs itself is normal for a CR23 creature though

[raw ocean]

One of my characters got swallowed by an behir and I used some item that lets me cast any spell [random ones], and pulled a mile wide AOE lightning spell

[glass granite]

Bonk bonk bonk bonk bonk bonk monk

[raw ocean]

But seriously giving the dude 800 health was a bit much

[cobalt owl]

Most only get 5 in their lair

[old berry]

I once had to fight a 700+ hp enemy with limited magical immunity to 6th lvl, 5 legreses, 9th lvl spells, and some crazy legendary actions. We fought him and a 500 hp plus elemental whose attacks covered half the battlemap, and he had wish, as well as an AC over 30. We were lvl 14 at the time lmao

[cobalt owl]

Its 3 or 4

[raw ocean]

Stage 1 was 800, stage 2 was 400, stage 3 was 300

1500 health in total

[cobalt owl]

Amateur numbers

[limber trail]

Once again, 1500 is doable for 6 level 17s

[old berry]

Average T4 HP required if they lack shenanigans

[reef tundra]

I am returned

[cobalt owl]

You ever heard of the meme where the paladin one shots the big bad?

[raw ocean]

Once again, we just finished fighting an enemy who weakened our party and wasted most of our high level spells

[old berry]

That might put a damper on your efforts

[cobalt owl]

Don't know if you mentioned that yet lol

[raw ocean]

I did earlier

[reef tundra]

I’ve never made a creature go into quadruple digits for a creature stat block

[glass granite]

Hello returned, I’m Nugget

[raw ocean]

We just finished fighting the CR 20 [who was barely alive] and then he rolled around the corner

[cobalt owl]

It simply is just not necessary

[limber trail]

This is the thing about high level DnD, is you really do need to converve your resources. Blowing everything early can be a death sentence.

[raw ocean]

Basically we were fighting the flame knight dude inside of his domain expansion and the wizard accidentally broke it and let the big dude in

[cobalt owl]

At some point high enough AC/saves will stand in for HP

[raw ocean]

Then the wizard wall of forced us [with permission] to block a meteor storm

[cobalt owl]

Oh god domain expansions

[raw ocean]

then we got hit with a ravenous void inside of the wall of force [basically a black hole]

[old berry]

I've fought some, mostly when they have mythic rebirths. But I think it's usually better to use monsters with a design that gives them more survivability than just being a damage sponge

[reef tundra]

Exactly

[cobalt owl]

This isn't DOOM, the cyberdemon should be more interesting to fight than "shoot it till it dies"

[old berry]

Played a campaing once where the DM homebrewed these, we even had one as a party

[cobalt owl]

I'm more likely to give a healing ability

[old berry]

Sul Khatesh my beloved

[reef tundra]

Even my most powerful Mythic creature - Eve - only has about 500 HP even with her mythic rebirth

[limber trail]

Healing abilities are sick, plus they reward stuff like chill touch

[raw ocean]

If I EVER see an enemy heal infront of me, it's getting hit with a level 9 disentegrate

Only IM allowed to heal

[cobalt owl]

I also had this. I almost left the campaign when the DM told me JJK was required reading lol until she clarified it was a joke.

[reef tundra]

But her AC and saves are nuts, and her actions are… something else

[old berry]

TFW the enemy you were fighting restores all of their features and HP with a wish spell cast from smoke

[cobalt owl]

You'll be outta slots pretty quick, a lotta my custom mons have healing

[old berry]

I would also quit if that was the case lmao

[limber trail]

9th level disintegrate is a great way to use your 9th level slot on zero damage

[raw ocean]

I may complain about strong monsters, but there's always one DM out there that consistently TPK's their players

And they never learn

[cobalt owl]

I don't try to kill players, I just run monsters and enemies who want to win

[reef tundra]

To this day, I have never seen a TPK. I am so proud of my players

[cobalt owl]

And that sometimes mean its "finish the job"

[old berry]

9th lvl spell slots should generally be used for shenanigans with True poly and wish

[cobalt owl]

I've TPK'ed a few people.

[old berry]

I have been TPK once, but we had already made some serious mistakes leading up to that

[limber trail]

Proudest I have ever been is when I pushed the party just barely to their limits. We were one round off of a TPK in session 4, but they pulled through. (They would've been fine if they read their character sheets but that's an issue for another time)

[cobalt owl]

Most of the time my TPKs are just because the players forgot they had something

[old berry]

It was more of a slow march towards doom rather than a too difficult encounter

[raw ocean]

I remember one time I made a controversial character in a campaign with themes of classism and etc, where he basically didn't like races like Illithid or goblins because he lived in the empire [A place the DM MADE to be like fantasy racist]

[cobalt owl]

And no I'm not gonna remind you you have things you can use to help you out, they're your sheets not mine lol

[raw ocean]

And the DM was fine with 2 party members trying to kill me [mind you one was from literal hell]

[cobalt owl]

I will however remind you of very important things if I feel nice

John you sound like you need better DMs ig

[old berry]

Biggest peeve I have as a DM, especially when it gets to the point where I know their features better than them

[raw ocean]

I have bad luck

[remote wadi]

With everything else that's falling apart around me, I'll need all the good luck and help I can get my hands on

[cobalt owl]

I tend to just not tell them about various things so they're forced to read sometimes

[raw ocean]

Well life isn't too bad, I could always be a redditor

[limber trail]

To me, if you ask me ahead of time to remind you of an ability, then sure, I'll remind you, but in combat, I don't know that your greatsword has the graze property, that's your wheelhouse

[cobalt owl]

I get varying results

[raw ocean]

I spoke in the D&D reddit once, worst time of my interent life

[old berry]

I do the same, but it hasn't helped with some players

[cobalt owl]

I give more leeway to westmarch players, some are after all brand new

[old berry]

I feel you, and I'm on reddit

[cobalt owl]

But players gotta learn at some point

Anyway I need to finish the wording on this Arcane ward ability for a CR 24 block. I'll be back.

[raw ocean]

Basically made a post asking why so many DM's ghost because I was peeved after getting ghosted 4 times in a row, then the reddit ripped into me saying "You were probably just a horrible player"

127 down votes.

[old berry]

Well yeah, then it's fine. I don't expect perfection from people on their first campaing. But I have 2 players with several years of experience who are both quite bad at remembering their features

[cobalt owl]

The internet will usually assume the worst if you don't give explanations is how I usually see it

[old berry]

Reddit is especially good at this

[raw ocean]

I wrote a paragraph explanation about how I came in friendly and before I even gave the DM's my sheet I got blocked

[cobalt owl]

The internet also usually has poor reading skills

[raw ocean]

Mhm

[cobalt owl]

Anyway time to steal players spell slots. I'll finish the block live ig

[raw ocean]

Most annoying part was people saying "You need to change for a DM to like you"

It goes both ways, you can't have a good campaign if one side refuses to compromise

[old berry]

John Evil over here

[cobalt owl]

This isn't even my most devious ability

[old berry]

Lol

What lvl is your party?

[raw ocean]

Always love throwing spell casters at my martial dominant party

"But I have resistance to slashing in rage!"

It's Magical Slashing

[cobalt owl]

13, but they punch above their weight

[old berry]

Rage still resists that

[cobalt owl]

It always did

[old berry]

I know the feeling

[cobalt owl]

Magical damage also isn't a thing anymore

[old berry]

Even in 2014 they resisted all forms of bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage

[cobalt owl]

I probably wouldn't chuck a 23 block if I didn't think they could handle it. This is however probably the hardest fight I'll run thus far, and it starts with me killing the parties most beloved NPC

[raw ocean]

Looks like im going to have to give my barbarian an apology

[reef tundra]

I still remember the first time my friend played a high level barbarian

“Hit me! Go on! Hit me” he’d say, beckoning more golems to fight him

[cobalt owl]

Barbarian kinda blows after like, level 8

[old berry]

Arguably even earlier

[reef tundra]

Even when in a cloud of daggers fighting four golems, he was still laughing at how much HP he had

[raw ocean]

Let my barbarian have a custom warforged race he made himself [He gets advantage on grapples and give disadvantage to someone trying to escape]

[old berry]

Barbarian is the worst class imo

[raw ocean]

and he can grapple one size above him

[old berry]

That's cool

[cobalt owl]

Oh I could give or take 2014 Monk but that has some benefits

I think Barbarian peaks at like level 5 or 6

[reef tundra]

Idk what you guys are talking about, I’ve had nothing but great experiences with barbarian at low and high levels

[old berry]

Yeah 2014 monk is generally worse, they are great at lvl 1-2, then bad through the rest

[cobalt owl]

They kick ass until level 8 and then they get int saved

[cobalt owl]

Nice mental saves

[reef tundra]

Thank goodness I had a team

Nice physical saves, wizard

[cobalt owl]

Congratulations

Take a maze

[old berry]

And wis saved, and wof, and cha saved, and forcecaged, they are so vulnerable to control spells/actions

[reef tundra]

And? Every class has weaknesses

[cobalt owl]

Mileage and table variance ig

[reef tundra]

They can’t be amazing at everything

[cobalt owl]

That is the point of RPGs

[reef tundra]

That’s why it’s a team game, to minimise the weaknesses of each other

[old berry]

Barbarians' are much more glaring and larger than other classes, especially casters

[reef tundra]

To be good at everything?

[reef tundra]

Idk what you’re talking about I have broken many casters over the years

[cobalt owl]

No "They can't be amazing at everything"

[raw ocean]

What's your guy's opinions on text by post D&D?

[cobalt owl]

idk in personal experience I've never seen barbarian have a good time at a table between 9-14. They usually just get instant psychic screamed/lanced and can't play because their saves are terrible. So I think this is just a fat case of table variance

[old berry]

Do you mean this as a DM or as a player? Because I can promise you casters are a lot more frightening

[cobalt owl]

Not my thing

[reef tundra]

DM

[old berry]

Aight

[reef tundra]

I don’t actively try to kill players, but a few good hits and a lot of casters go down

[glass granite]

It’s nice

[raw ocean]

I have been thinking about trying it because it makes gameplay and scheduling super easy but at the same time you lose out on the social aspect of D&D slightly

[reef tundra]

But yeah, it’s probably table dependency. We’ve all had different experiences

[cobalt owl]

I also think I've just been more ruthless with blocks lately

[raw ocean]

Or atleast that's what I think TBP is like

[reef tundra]

I won’t slander your experiences

[cobalt owl]

They call me 007
0 punches pulled
0 qualms given
7 more hours of sleep than I normally get

[old berry]

To me they just fall into the weakness of relying to much on their big hp stat, which becomes hard when they just get banished or locked away or similar. But I get that experiences vary

[glass granite]

They call me Nugget
Well, no, I play with friends so they’re know my name

[old berry]

Regardless, I'd argue 2014 monks are even worse 😭

[cobalt owl]

Ok party finally got the shopping list in order, time to feed em a heroes feast then hit a dispel magic later.

Bye chat

[glass granite]

Cya!

[old berry]

Bye! Good luck

[cobalt owl]

We're off to a good start
Everyone failed the wildcard save so they're starting the fight with missing slots and hit dice

I'll update the story as news comes in

[desert forge]

Uhhh i am new can anyone give me a tips?

[reef tundra]

The people in #dnd-newcomers are much better at giving advice to newbies

[cinder timber]

Hello. How is everyone?

[desert forge]

Ok thanks

[reef tundra]

Tired. Hbu?

[cinder timber]

Me too, but I dont like sleeping.

[glass granite]

Alive! Gotta love it

[cinder timber]

Being alive is great, means things can change

[glass granite]

Indeed
I also get to eat (just had a donut, nom)

[jovial badger]

hi nugget

[glass granite]

Gooooood morning afternoon evening, Wahzzup!

[jovial badger]

I play SSBU

quoting your bio/desc/thing

[glass granite]

I main Mac
Maybe that’s why I love monks so much

Punch punch punch punch

[glass granite]

But things are great rn, why do they have to change ~

[jovial badger]

stop eating my gif

[glass granite]

The dragon is hungry!

[cinder timber]

I said "can" not "must"

[jovial badger]

i main corrin (male cause the final smash line is better)

[jovial badger]

but yeah i made a monk for my friend

his reaction: i can punch THREE TIMES PER TURN?

[glass granite]

5

Hehehehe

[raw ocean]

Fireball or Ora Ora Ora

Hard choice, both amazing

[rocky basin]

hi i am looking to get started in dnd

[glass granite]

Check out #dnd-newcomers

[raw ocean]

Ive located a PBP campaign

Hopefully it goes well

[glass granite]

Have fun!

[raw ocean]

I hope I do

[lethal otter]

morning everyone, how we all doin

[jovial badger]

good

weekly dnd sesh tmr! 😄

[lethal otter]

you get to play weekly

thats a lot of luck

[pale jacinth]

Is the guidebook worth buying?

[high mesa]

i don't join campaigns unless it's promised weekly, it's never worth it otherwise

[idle oar]

Like Players Handbook? If you like the game and want more character options then what the free rules and System Reference Document provide, then the Players Handbook is a good buy IMO.

[lethal otter]

How frequently do you all play

[jovial badger]

real

[glass granite]

Whenever I’m free
So between weekly to every 2 months

[high mesa]

i have one weekly campaign and starting a second one very soon so i'll have two dnd nights every week

[glass granite]

I envy thee

[lethal otter]

I only get to dm once a month

[high mesa]

my dm plays 3 times a week, dms one and plays in 2

[raw ocean]

Fridays and sunday weekly

I DM once per week on fridays

And im attempting to start playing a PBP campaign

[lethal otter]

Man i wish i could play weekle

[inner silo]

How do i prepare my character personality if i have about 30 minutes free before the first game?

[raw ocean]

Whats the campaign setting?

[lethal otter]

How do yall play every week

[glass granite]

Go based on what your backstory might suggest, and just go with a personality that’s natural-ish to you that is still nice for the party.

So THATS how yall do it

[lethal otter]

Should have tought of that

[raw ocean]

Shhhhh

Don't tell anyone how we do it

[glass granite]

You’re right, we gotta safeguard the secret. It’s forbidden knowledge

[inner silo]

I'm joining a continuing campaign. There's like a big forest where the rest of the players found some evil stuff which is coming to destroy the world and they're trying to warn everybody about it

[idle oar]

Focus on:

• where in the game setting did your character come from? What kind of life/culture did they grow up in?
• what did they do before adventuring (their background)? How did that impact their life.
• what pushed them into adventuring? And how did that impact their life?

[raw ocean]

But hit up azaroth the destroyer [great guy for deals]

[inner silo]

Alrighty

[raw ocean]

I personally just act out the character as if I was them for 1-5 minutes before starting

Let's you get the voice and personality down

[inner silo]

Thanks a lot for the help!@raw ocean @glass granite @idle oar

[lethal otter]

I get to play once a month due to school adn due to strict parents

[glass granite]

I do that in the shower

[high mesa]

i did a british accent for a character and i always talked in it to myself the whole car ride to the session

[raw ocean]

Same, my favorite scenarios is acting like im bartering and arguing with a gnome

My family may think im mentally ill though'

[glass granite]

My favourite scenario is a cinematic end of a boss fight

[high mesa]

didn't help that i pretended to be british for 3 years and so now i talk to myself always in a british accent even when i don't play that character anymore

[raw ocean]

Voice changer does wonders too

just got to find one that dosen't break every 5 minutes

[cinder timber]

I never considered using one

[jovial badger]

my voice would DIE

just screeching for like 5 minutes

[raw ocean]

Is bro playing a kenku 😭

[jovial badger]

read the name

:/

[raw ocean]

Why would your voice hurt from playing a sorceror

[idle oar]

I just describe things in 3rd person when I'm tired of attempting voices

[jovial badger]

kobold

screech screech

[glass granite]

I try to do voices cuz it’s the one thing as a DM I seem incapable of doing
I need practice

[raw ocean]

What's a "screech screech", is that a new race?

[im trollin]

[glass granite]

Hi trollin, I’m Nugget

[raw ocean]

I only use my best voices for campaigns that deserve it

If the DM's putting in alot of effort, I should too

One time I shed a tear when one of my players played a regular class without any homebrew requests and a backstory already finished

And not a single power build or min/max part in it

It was, glorious...

[glass granite]

I pretty much only play with new players, so I don’t gotta deal with that

[raw ocean]

I take unique builds from ancient texts over "How do I roll damage" 27 times in one session

Everyone's got their own preferences

[glass granite]

Mhm, I just think it’s probably good for newer players to have a decent first experience for their first game, and to have someone to help them learn the game

[slim dirge]

Does anyone know any free dnd campaign ai things whete i can play dnd without it runjing out

[raw ocean]

I thought about an answer to that but I can't decide on what to say

[glass granite]

I don’t know any, so I can’t help

[jovial badger]

honestly if you play dnd by yourself with ai it just turns into an ai rpg

[idle oar]

I mean you can try and play D&D with an AI service but it's

1. not going to really be D&D
2. It will probably do things incorrectly trying to appease you
3. As there's no people playing with you, really miss out on the magic that a real D&D game can provide

[raw ocean]

Just play post by post if you want a D&D game, you can just post your response whenever

[slim dirge]

I mostly us chatgpt but i run out of free premium uses and just homebrews crap

[jovial badger]

yeah, i tried it for 10 minutes and hated it

[jovial badger]

yeah chatgpt i find goes easy on you to satisfy you

[raw ocean]

D&D isn't the same without your DM stopping you from eating 20 pounds of cheese

[idle oar]

You can look for online D&D games using our Looking For Game channels - read #find-a-game to learn more about how to use those channels.

[lyric viper]

Yeah, unfortunately AI just really isn't good at D&D. Freeform RP maybe, but even then, it:

• Can't plot ahead
• Can't recall that much information
• Is terrible at metagaming (If information is present it will use it, if it's not present, it doesn't exist.)

[slim dirge]

Yeah, i just want thay thrill that irl gives

[high mesa]

then ya gotta do irl

[lyric viper]

There are solo modules available that are a little like choose your own adventure but with a little bit of game play and RNG

Not the full D&D experience, but I enjoy solo TTRPGs for provoking thoughts and emergent story telling. D&D isn't the best one for it, but there are tools and people out there who have given a shot at it.

Honestly, other than that- videogames.

[high mesa]

hm wonder if you could feed an ai one of the 5e modules and have it run it

[lyric viper]

Baldur's Gate 3, Solarum...
Or older edition ones. I love Neverwinter Nights 1 and NwN 2 had some good stories too.
Planescape Torment, BG 1 & 2...

[idle oar]

No again because copyright and also AI makes stupid stuff up and attempts to appease you causing AI hallucinations

[lyric viper]

Again, it:
-Cannot plot

• Cannot differentiate well between meta knowledge.
• Also, copyright.

[high mesa]

ah

[raw ocean]

Also the whole point of D&D is imagination, using AI is kind of like putting ice cubes on fire

[lyric viper]

Video games are what you want from a digitalised D&D game run by a computer.

[high mesa]

but i do second bg3, it doesn't have the same feeling of rolling dice and stuff like irl but it gets pretty close to actual dnd in terms of game mechanics and the depth of player expression

[idle oar]

Imagination and playing with other people who add their imaginations to it - the collaborative storytelling experience is what makes most RPG games so magical and fun (IMO).

[raw ocean]

[Insert that one GIF with a rainbow and imagination on it]

[lyric viper]

Otherwise for Solo D&D...
Either pick up one of the Solo modules from DMsguild (There's some fan made ones and some official ones from older editions), which run like a choose your own adventure.

Or there are tools to essentially play a solo TTRPG sandbox game. Use tools to randomly generate dungeons, NPCs, events so on, and just RP your way through. You lack the collaborative RP and story telling element, and it's more creating a story yourself from the events. Again, probably better solo TTRPGs out there, but not impossible to run with D&D.

Funnily enough, older D&D (AD&D) had more tools for that as it was very much sandbox generator, with lots of support for hexcrawls.

[raw ocean]

If you only played in PBP campaigns, how many campaigns could you reasonably be in at the same time?

[red steppe]

Lmao yes, i was talking about in terms of being the worst multiclass

[noble basin]

i mean it depends per person id say

[gilded scaffold]

Depends how fast each one moves, too

[noble basin]

mhm

[gilded scaffold]

I couldn't be in one PBP that required posting each day to keep up, but I could be in several that only needed twice weekly posting.

[long saffron]

Hello 👋

[zinc hare]

How long does cyber monday sales last?

On dnd beyond

[jovial badger]

hi

[hushed mist]

I imagine PBP is just rp with rolls.

I used to get 5-7 rp posts out daily so It really depends on how much free time to write and respond. Also depends on the other peeps there too

[tawdry sentinel]

I've used the solo adventurer's tool kit to write actual sessions several times in the past

Sometimes a rollable table is good brain food.

[timber zealot]

hyeee

how are you guys?

[void fossil]

Good mornin'

[timber zealot]

good morning as well

how's day going?

[void fossil]

Been awake for about 10 minutes so we'll see how bad it'll get lol

[timber zealot]

Only 10 minutes awake? Well I hope your day decides to be nice to you. Got anything lined up today?

[void fossil]

Not really. Just going to play a little Civ 6 and find a lore video to listen to. Yourself?

[timber zealot]

Oooh Civ 6 and lore vids… that sounds like a solid cozy setup ngl. I’m just having coffee and waking up. Trying to keep my day relaxing too.

I haven’t played much Civ 6 but I’ve heard it’s addictive what makes you like it?

[lyric viper]

Might be better to take this to #non-dnd-topics folk 😉

Gotta focus on those Dragons and those Dungeons in here.

[void fossil]

It IS addictive in a way if you're into that style of game. A fan tag line for it is, "Just one more turn" lol

I've never given it much thought but I'd say it's trying to use different ways to win since there's multiple ways like Religious, Domination and Cultural victories just to name a few

[sacred pilot]

Forge Of The Artificer and Rising From The Last War where the only official wotc 5e Eberron stuff, right?

[hollow stone]

can you take Action Surge after a Magic action?

[void fossil]

Youre 100% right. Was my fault

[hollow stone]

you can't Action Surge into a Magic action, but can you Magic action into an Action Surge?

[void fossil]

But to be fair, the lore videos I'm listening to are DnD 😆

[zinc hare]

I like the lore boys they're funny

[timber zealot]

just one more turn sounds way too accurate
And wow, I didn’t know Civ had that many different ways to win religious, domination, cultural… that actually sounds kinda fun to try.
btw if you don’t mind, we can talk a bit more personally too about the game or whatever. I sent you a request already

[lyric viper]

Pretty much. Wayfinder's Guide is.. semi official.

[tacit island]

Whats the best setting for a newbie DM to start making a campaign or if anyone has a module recommendation for 3-4 players

[lyric viper]

Forgotten Realms is one of the most commonly used settings and very close to 'base lore' in most places, meaning you don't have to learn too many changes or new content.

[sacred pilot]

Wayfinder´s Guide?

[timber zealot]

yeah lol fr

[zinc hare]

Ngl I threw myself straight in the deepend and made a world and story

[void fossil]

That's a channel? Never heard of them. I stick to certain folks like Mr Rhexx and Genghis Sean

[hollow stone]

i am manufacturing a form of gish fighter, one that isn't Eldritch Knight, but rather, a multiclass of Warlock and Fighter

[zinc hare]

Never heard of those guys

I like the lore boys cause they'll be talking about some crazy dnd lore and out of no where some raunchy or crude joke

[timber zealot]

yeah samee

[lyric viper]

Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron was released by WotC on D&D Beyond, but it was more like the prototype to Rising from the Ashes.

[void fossil]

Sounds edgy. Don't do edgy for lore lol

[lyric viper]

Like the playtest version.

[sacred pilot]

So, Rising Of The Ashes got the same stuff in it?

[zinc hare]

It's not really edgy I don't think it's just mainly dumb jokes

[jovial badger]

I LOVE THAT EXPANSION

[zinc hare]

Anyway I'm attempting to purchase books on dnd beyond and it isn't working, is anyone able to please help me? I went to ask a mod on the mod channel but no ones responded in 30 minutes

[timber zealot]

Okay wait who should I check out first? Mr Rhexx, Lore Boys, or someone else? I wanna see what the hype is about.

[zinc hare]

It depends if you like some humor in it but it isn't really for everyone. I don't know any off the top of my head but some can be in bad taste? Maybe, but either way still funny alot of the time

[lyric viper]

Essentially, yes. If you have Rising, don't really need Wayfinders, except to look at some of the earlier versions of some content.

One other book might be 'Exploring Eberron'. It is, again, not official, but is written by Keith Baker the author of Eberron and available on Dmsguild.

[void fossil]

Depends on what you're looking for. There's good CCs for different things

[zinc hare]

I might check out what lanksy was talking about tho! Sometimes I liek to sleep to lore and I can't do that with lore boys cause of the way they do their show

[timber zealot]

Ah gotcha 😂 I’m definitely down for some humor, even if it’s a little edgy. Any personal favorites you’d recommend I start with?

[lyric viper]

That wouldn't be a moderator issue. #ddb-support might be able to help, or Bugs & Support on the forums themselves, but if it's an actual issue, then moderation can't help and it'll need to go through customer service.

[zinc hare]

Ah ok. Thankyou for this!

[thorn warren]

With the 2024 rules, would a Tiefling having wings work? I'm making a Chthonic Tiefling character for a game and I kinda want to give them wings since I'm basing their look off of an incubus, and incubi/succubi have wings

[rotund shell]

that's a question for your DM

because that falls under homebrew.

[thorn warren]

How does that fall under homebrew when that's following the description for chthonic tiefling

[rotund shell]

as far as I know, they don't have wings without homebrew.

[pliant sapphire]

If the wings are only for flavor, yes. They cant give you fly speed
