Advantage? Psghh.
Just hit things, sillypants

[serene jolt]

I roll bad, sadly

[timid current]

Work with your party

[serene jolt]

Westmarch

I don't always have the same people

[blissful ibex]

Like it's not on the full casters, but it's on the half casters and warlock is basicly a 1/3 caster

[timid current]

Are you unable to play with a party in westmarch?

[woven flint]

My Warlock got bullied hard last night lmao
We were fighting those Antimagic Bear creatures and I got absolutely smacked 😭

[serene jolt]

2024 Artificer also didn't get it for some stupid reason

Not even them battlesmiths

[blissful ibex]

yeah, that's bad

[serene jolt]

I just dipped my 2024 battlesmith into rogue. A little extra damage, expertise, and masteries. Why not?

[timid current]

They aren't martial classes they don't need masteries

[woven flint]

I tried to Synaptic Static them
But they have a reaction where they can dash at whoevers casting the spell , hit then AND potentially make them lose the spell 😭

[timid current]

Multiclassing for mysteries is cool and good

[serene jolt]

Artificer is a 1/3 to 1/2 caster. I'm doing more martial things with artificers than with my warlock.

[blissful ibex]

tbf, artificer is like half caster half crafter

[timid current]

That is your choice but, you get spells and artificers have on hit stuff as is

[jovial shadow]

"Those anti-magic bears". What anti-magic bear. Is that from some module?

[blissful ibex]

while the others are half caster half martial

[woven flint]

Vecna: Eve of Ruin.

[serene jolt]

Battlesmith is literally built to primarily use weapons. They have second attack, int on their weapons, etc.

[woven flint]

We were on/in (?) Eberron when we encountered them

[serene jolt]

Artillarists can be a martial or a caster. Armorer is mainly a martial. And the others are mainly casters.

[timid current]

Battlesmiths are casters that havr a secondary element in the action economy

[serene jolt]

Most of their abilities revolve around martial combat.

[timid current]

Artificers are casters who can play at martial, just like warlocks

[serene jolt]

If a battlesmith isn't using weapons, I'd be concerned for their build.

[woven flint]

Shocking Grasp only time

[molten pumice]

Druid initiate charisma shillelagh and pact blade might be a fun lil thing for me to try later. Just bonking peeps with raw charisma

[timid current]

You aren't required to play non martials

And you can of course multiclass to martial to get martial only things

[serene jolt]

I think Battlesmith at the very least should have weapon masteries.

[woven flint]

People can play things..
✨ However they please! ✨

[serene jolt]

Given that their whole entire kit is revolved around weapons (and their companion) and they get second attack.

[wraith kelp]

i make my own rules

can i cast a spell on my dm?

[serene jolt]

At your own risk

[wraith kelp]

lol

[serene jolt]

Or shall I say "You can try." (tm)

[woven flint]

My Paladin (genies pally)
Didn't use Armor or Shields, he Dual-Wielded a Scimitar and a Shortsword! ... and was still a strength build! Lmao
He's deceased now 😔

[quiet olive]

I bought myself baldurs gate 3 and I am really loving it

Downloaded the soulknife rogue mod too

[lyric idol]

BG3 is so good. I wanna replay it using the mod that makes levelling scale to level 20.

[timid current]

Artificers are great without masteries

It is a small sliver of niche protection that only martials get masteries

[woven flint]

So are Bladelocks 🔥

[lyric idol]

Or just take a feat for masteries

[woven flint]

My bladelocks current weapon is a Staff of Power 💀

[timid current]

Yep, that's another way to reflect additional training

[naive cedar]

im not super familiar with artificer: its a martial/caster hybrids?

[timid current]

It's similar to warlock. Half casting with a bunch of other stuff

[quiet olive]

I am only level 4, act 1.

Went on an undercover stealth mission in the goblin camp, rescued Master Halsin and unleashed complete and utter havoc upon all goblins in the camp once i got bear man free 😈😈

[woven flint]

Artificer at base is more caster half-caster, the subclasses are more defining

[timid current]

Not a martial class that specializes in weapon things. More magic/support that has a few subclasses that can do magic assisted martialesque things

[naive cedar]

that makes sense

[serene jolt]

The subclasses are very, very different from each other.

[lyric idol]

My first playthrough I uh...I uh joined the goblins.

[rugged hawk]

That's why my human water sorc wears a treated turtle shell on her back instead of wearing armor, using Mage Armor, or making use of a shield. However, while it provides +3 Misc AC, it also requires 13+ Str and weighs 24 lbs.

[serene jolt]

They're also more attuned with magic items, able to create them with infusions built in their kit, craft a little easier (depending on the subclass and 2014 v 2024), and can attune to more of them.

[woven flint]

My Aberrant Mind Sorcerer never used any defensive spells and only had 11 AC lol

Regardless, he was a threat to society at large /Half-Joke

[lyric idol]

So Dex is your dump stat huh?

[serene jolt]

That's not including their spell storing abilities at level 10, their ability to add modifiers to rolls, etc etc. They are very versatile.

[rugged hawk]

Would you believe 'no'? Actually, it's even higher than her Cha

[timid current]

Yeah, definitely have more than enough without masteries

[woven flint]

His best moment was a Quickened Sunbeam and absolutely melting a boss completely by himself lol

[stark arch]

does the paladin at higher levels rules of 2014 get more divinity channel uses ?? or does it stay a t1 ??

[serene jolt]

I still dipped for masteries 🤣 At least with my Artificer that won't reach level 20.

My Artillarist is staying full artificer cuz he can actually get to level 20. And he uses cantrips.

[woven flint]

You know what,
That's completely fair!
If you aren't missing out in anything than sobeit 🔥

My Warlock, Cleric and Barbarian all have the unfortunate circumstances of all being in campaigns that go to 20 💀

Not that I'd multiclass any of them because honestly... nothing else fits them! Lol

[scenic zinc]

Unfortunate?

[woven flint]

In a joking manner

[lyric idol]

Guess when theyre outta spells they arent outta options.

[rugged hawk]

As an ocean-inclined sorc, her physical stats are actually extremely high in comparison to a more normal sorc. 15 Str, 18 Dex, 17 Con, 10 Int, 12 Wis, 17 Cha at level 4.

[woven flint]

I dunno what level the Fighter I'm playing is going to end at, but he'd probably be a Druid multiclass due to growing up around animals and his Devotion to protecting them

[lyric idol]

Dics roll?

[rugged hawk]

Manual roll, yeah

[lyric idol]

Love me the 4d6 drop the lowest. I can see how ya got that too. Ive had a time where I rolled 4 6's.

[rugged hawk]

And yeah, she uses her Returning Trident of Warning when magic's not cutting it.

[glass granite]

1/1296 chance, holy

[timid current]

I should say I am in favor of dipping for masteries

[lyric idol]

Happened once, never again.

[glass granite]

I’d imagine

[blissful ibex]

honnestly prefer Standard Array / Point buy
rolling can easily lead to terribly imballanced parties

[glass granite]

Same

[lyric idol]

Doesnt your DM just let you write down the numbers and place them where you want?

[rugged hawk]

As a Grim Hollow human, she was supposed to get 3 martial weapon proficiencies, but I traded two of them to specialize in Tridents and give my Trident of Warning the Returning feature. Because again, aquatic. And nothing would suck quite as much as my trident plummeting into a near-bottomless abyss from which I have to dive down to retrieve the bloody thing.

[timid current]

It's funny so often people say rolling benefits roleplay because you can have bad stats but... most tables that roll have convoluted ways to be rolling like extra d6es drop lowest, reroll the array/use highest at then table or whatnot

[serene jolt]

I have had no issues with rolling stats yet. I prefer it, it makes builds more entertaining.

[scenic zinc]

I do a system where I have everyone roll, and then I turn each person's results into a point buy, and then everyone gets the highest result.

[timid current]

I like the challenge of crafting my character's themes and cool stuff out of a standard array or point buy

It also helps not break bounded accuracy (in either direction)

And ensures that there is room for growth

[lyric idol]

At the end of the day if you roll so terribly, ask your DM to reroll.

[blissful ibex]

Yes, but point total wise you commonly end up with characters with low 70 point totals playing with 80~90 point totals

[rugged hawk]

Note to self: Stealing this.

[serene jolt]

I like more feats than more ASIs. It makes your character more fleshed out imo.

[timid current]

It's funny when people manage to roll an 18 and use their ability score increase to get to 20 jn their main stat... then as they level they don't have anywhere to go

[lyric idol]

Thats the luck of it.

[timid current]

Feats all carry an asi now so like if I start at 20 strength and level 4 I want great weapon master.... oops

[lyric idol]

Level up dex.

[serene jolt]

I do feats at that point or increase another score like con or dex.

[scenic zinc]

There's plenty of places to go, no idea what you're talking about

[cosmic roost]

No pings, please :pray:

If you see someone with “No Pings” in their name, please don’t @ that user. If you Reply to them, please turn the alert @OFF, and if you forget, a simple apology is appreciated. Thank you!

[serene jolt]

Oh sorry. I forgot to turn that off.

[lyric idol]

Oops my bad sorry

[blissful ibex]

literally being punished before the game even starts is kinda bad game design for a character you are potentially using for years

[lyric idol]

Again...Reroll.

[blissful ibex]

dm fiat, depending on your dm, you might not be allowed to

[timid current]

I did just give gwm as the example. If I'm a high strength fella playing with heavy weapons.... I'm going to want room to grow and gwm only provides strength

[serene jolt]

Most servers that do that have an alternative. Roll stats, hate them? Use standard array or point buy (usually modified to be similar to their rolled stats so it isn't super unfair).

[timid current]

"Just take dex" doesn't actually work when you can only get strength.

Anyway you don't have to like growing a character over levels, I just said I like it

[serene jolt]

GWM provides other bonuses. It's a half feat so it has the 'feat' portion. Or plan ahead. Put the +2 into something else and work your strength up with feats.

[lyric idol]

Well its more to take dex or con so your saves are better.

[timid current]

I feel that starting at maximum is some 3.5 videogamey stuff that doesn't sit too well with the way I like to play

[scenic zinc]

There are other feats

And plenty of feats that don't come with an asi still exist

[timid current]

You're right there are other feats that aren't the example I used

[meager fractal]

Wonder what my first d20 roll in 2026 will be

[timid current]

It's just wild how far over your heads my point went

[patent lodge]

Hey I’m new to dungeons & dragons like literally brand new and I’d like to know literally everything about it, the board game online game lore everything. Any people wanna help?

[serene jolt]

It better be a 20

[woven flint]

Woe, Nat 1 be upon ye!!!!

Muhahaha!!!

[scenic zinc]

It didn't go over my head. It's a bad point.

[glass granite]

My second rolled stats of 2026 had a total of 55

[timid current]

Cool, happy new year fella

[serene jolt]

It's not 2026 for me yet!

[buoyant oar]

Yeah getting your stats maxed out as quick as possible. Means that you can spend your ASI on feats that develop your characters in better ways than a simple stat boost.

[rugged hawk]

I curse ye with a Nat 1 on your next alcohol-related Fort save

[serene jolt]

I still have time left this year!

[azure jasper]

How should I go about writing my backstory style wise?
Cuz I feel like I'm struggling to find the sweet spot between summarizing his past and giving thorough descriptions of what he's gone through

[lyric idol]

If I get an 18 in a stat, I do choose to not max it out. I can wait till level 8, 12, or 16 to max it out. 18 on a melee or spellcaster is fine. I'll use my stat plus to increase another stat. Maybe my lowest stat, which could be a 3 WIS if I'm unlucky.

[scenic zinc]

You should be able to describe any character in a single paragraph.

[buoyant oar]

Better be the party face with a charisma of four

[scenic zinc]

Any more than that is fun fluff.

[tawdry valve]

So my ascendant dragon monk is a jelly boy, level 6, how do I go from strong to absolute unit!? Currently have the charger feat and eldritch claw tatoo and a +1 wraps of unarmed prowess

[woven flint]

Jokes on you, none of my characters really drink alcohol

[rugged hawk]

Jokes on you, I meant your next alchol fort save

[buoyant oar]

The big thing that I have on backstories as a DM who loves detailed backstories is create one that is appropriate for your starting level. For instance every single player character in Baldur's Gate 3 is a terrible example of a level 1 backstory. They all represent characters who must have been de-leveled before starting the avenger

[woven flint]

I ALSO don't drink that much!

[blissful ibex]

My primary character's has hooks that work anywhere from levels like 1 to ~12

[buoyant oar]

Hey and if you're starting in a high level that's great

[meager fractal]

why don't people like starting at level 5+

[naive cedar]

you can also have a lore reason for being de-leveled (which is what bg3 does)

[blissful ibex]

I do :x

[buoyant oar]

Because the game starts at 1

[serene jolt]

It can be as simple as this:

I was raised at a farm in a small village named Aeren. My family taught me how to effectively use a crossbow so I could protect the farm in case danger presents itself, like wolves or goblins. When I got older, I was going to inherit the farm. A red dragon rampaged through my village and my father was caught in the crossfire. My farm is ashes. I took a crossbow and a sword and vowed to defeat this dragon but I must get stronger. I left my village to try my hand at adventuring, gathering what little resources I had left.

--
That took me less than 5 minutes. Just a quick summary of the important events and flesh them out over time.

[tawdry valve]

I want to steal Tiamats Divinity, how's that for a goal

[blissful ibex]

that's basicly what I have, broad strokes wise

[scenic zinc]

I dunno. I like metroid prime and assassins creed 1 and all those other stories that have a strong character who lost their power who's working to regain it. It can be done well, in my opinion.

[buoyant oar]

And while there can be a lore reason for why your character was deleveled, that should really be something set up by the DM, which is an exception to the normal case of doing your best to not do that

[tawdry valve]

Humor me, how would one go about doing such a thing?

[serene jolt]

And some people don't need more than that! Some people like fleshing out details. It's totally up to you.

I also try to write down names of important people for my dm.

[buoyant oar]

And it should be something that affects the entire party, not a specific singular character

[naive cedar]

I think a lot of people like seeing their character grow over time. which is obviously fine, but if you’re going to do that the character should have an appropriate backstory

[buoyant oar]

Well, if you're looking to steal the Divinity of a specific god, the first question I have to ask is which setting you're doing it in

[scenic zinc]

Like an aasimar character can literally be played as a fallen celestial who is working to get back into the graces of their god

[serene jolt]

I like starting at level 3 max. 5 is just too late and I like to develop what I'm going to do over time. I do not like starting at level 1 though, too squishy. A goblin can fart on you and you're dead.

[scenic zinc]

Or a tiefling as a fiend who defied their father and was kicked out of the hells

[tawdry valve]

According to the internet there are ways, I'm thinking of trying to make a deal with Bahamut to try and help

[mild rune]

yall im getting so tired of some of the DMs i find on here. i signed up for a new campaign and session 0 was meant to be today and i had everything built and ready and then i got kicked out of the server and blocked by the dm when literally nothing had happened yet. i even skipped out on a dinner with my family to accommodate to their schedule and they knew

[serene jolt]

Playing with strangers for the first time is really hard. I'm sorry about that.

[scenic zinc]

Or perhaps your backstory is you were an amazing mage and you were cursed and blocked from the weave so now you're a level 1 fighter

[rugged hawk]

My Divine Soul water sorc, who would much rather be back still adventuring in Saltmarsh's coastal regions, was drawn away from the seaside to Red Larch due to Elemental Evil shenanigans, so she's gotta put a stop to the Cult of the Crushing Wave and take back their stolen water-related objects. Trishina's the dolphin goddess, but also protector of children, and since my water sorc was the most fit to challenge an elemental cult misusing the power of water....

[lucid bobcat]

I've played a Aasimar who was a super tiny god of a tiny pond in the middle of nowhere and my DM had me level up based on how many followers I had. I had Paladin with Oath of Devotion subclass.

[scenic zinc]

Lol what

[mild rune]

no idea, i assume multiple people. the dm is also a content creator apparently too

[meager fractal]

truth

[scenic zinc]

Just because that's been your personal experience doesn't make it a universal truth.

[raw ocean]

I have had atleast 20 DM's flake on me before session 1

[buoyant oar]

That is an astounding number

[scenic zinc]

-# Sounds like you're the common denominator to me

[blissful ibex]

there's your problem
most people who describe themselves as content creators are kinda off

[glass granite]

20 is crazy holy

[woven flint]

I hate to be rude, but that sounds more like a you problem than a DM problem.. are you sure you're not putting them off somehow?

[raw ocean]

Thanks for insulting me, I try to be as nice as possible to my new DM's but how am I supposed to change for them before session 0

[raw ocean]

I don't know, I use proper grammar, be nice, try to make my characters fit their campaign, run everything by them

[buoyant oar]

You shouldn't have to change for your dungeon master. Sorry you had a bunch of bad fits

[echo viper]

Hai

[scenic zinc]

I wasn't insulting you. I was saying you're the common denominator.

[woven flint]

Hello
Welcome to Chili's

[raw ocean]

It's just that alot of online DM's are just flaky as hell from my personal experience

[glass granite]

Goooood morning after-
Wait wtf Chili’s?!

[buoyant oar]

And life happens. There have been times where I've been excited to start a new campaign and then the day before I lose my job.

That campaign's not happening anymore.

[rugged hawk]

Sir, this is a Wendy's....

[blissful ibex]

correlation is not causation

[echo viper]

I have aquired my first Blåhaj

[raw ocean]

And it's always before session 1 so I don't even know what I did most of the time

[nova trellis]

Wendy's is so bad nowadays....

[woven flint]

I said its a Chili's, so it's a goddamned Chili's!
Lord of goofy decree.

[echo viper]

Gulp…

[nova trellis]

Chili's is alright I think.

[glass granite]

So are we employees or…

[raw ocean]

Literally had a DM recently flake on me before we even got to the interview

[scenic zinc]

I think you mean to say *people. This has nothing to do with it being online.

[rugged hawk]

No, this is Patrick!

[buoyant oar]

I had a guy once as a player who was the most involved in pre-session planning. We would have Discord VC conversations that would last for hours because he was so excited about the campaign.

After the first session he ghosted, all of us, deleted his roll. 20 account, deleted his D&D Beyond, and blocked all of us on Reddit.

I still to this day have no idea why he did that

It just happens sometimes and that's okay

[woven flint]

Depends....

Holds up a Job application

BOO!!!

[blissful ibex]

I got flaked on once but it was 100% reasonable because the DM worked third shift over Christmas the day before and is otherwise a really chill DM

one shot AL game so not too beat up about it

[glass granite]

Well I do need money

[raw ocean]

No the dude literally offered to interview me twice, we set the days and I got prepared

[woven flint]

Lmao

[raw ocean]

Sent a "You alive?" on the first miss and dude just never came around for the second interview time

What is this a job application?

[scenic zinc]

-# I've not done a job application once in my life... companies reach out to me to hire me :v

[nova trellis]

Dam, the lords of the aybss got to him.

[buoyant oar]

I mean I make my players fill out an application.

[woven flint]

You're fired

[glass granite]

No, they’re Azerick

[raw ocean]

Like the only problem I may have is asking too much questions on stuff but that's quite literally the point of D&D

[scenic zinc]

And that's a nugget of truth.

[buoyant oar]

And if I am running in person. We conduct the interview in real life. You meet me somewhere That's not my house. And we do a vibe check, smell, test all the bells and whistles

[woven flint]

I gotta meet my firing people quota, man, the Archdevils'll have my ass if I don't

[rugged hawk]

No, they're a potential bot and faceless internet voice.

Im sorry for asking if were running XP or milestone 😔

One of my nicknames has been android for over 3 decades.

[woven flint]

And now you're fired!!!!

Oops- wrong person lmao

[glass granite]

Tbf I’ve never really had issues finding a game online… I got into a game and I wasn’t even looking for one

[buoyant oar]

I once had a player who got offended that I asked to meet at a neutral location before a game.

I was like " my brother in lathander. If you think I'm going to invite a complete and total stranger from the internet into my home, you are either naive or bad."

[raw ocean]

Everyone always told me to get into trades, it's easy to get a job but annoying to keep one

[woven flint]

HR is just Tiamat waiting to eat you

[scenic zinc]

"Lathander?! Nah. I'm good." - Zariel

[woven flint]

"Take your complaints up to HR! Tell Tiamat we sent her a snack."

[raw ocean]

HR genuinely gotta be a demonic force or something

No way a human being can look at open & shut scenarios and decide to fire like 4 people

[rugged hawk]

Well see, there was your first major mistake, Lose-ander's such a bad god. Velsharoon / Vecna / Urgathoa or bust.

[scenic zinc]

hr would at least be devils, not demons.

[buoyant oar]

" You are not my real Dad!" -Zariel

[woven flint]

HR is getting shoved into Jubilex's slime dimension and slowly corroding

[naive cedar]

"Well you can keep your job at goblin incorporated, you just have to watch this 72 hour recording on respecting kobold rights."

[buoyant oar]

Friendship ended with Lathander

Asmodeus is now my best friend.

"I literally just offered them moss!"

[scenic zinc]

She kinda has a pretty good reason to hate Lathander.

[woven flint]

Friendship Ended with Asmodeus,
Baphomet Is manwife now.

[scenic zinc]

Not as good as Helm, but still.

[rugged hawk]

Anyone who seriously worships Baphoment deserves their misery

[scarlet marsh]

Goober

[woven flint]

I'm miserable without worshipping the damn bastard!

[buoyant oar]

My hot take is that Jander Sunstar was the biggest missed opportunity in BG: DIA.

[scenic zinc]

How is that a hot take?

[rugged hawk]

"Lemme go worship a demon lord of LIES and BETRAYAL, surely I won't be LIED TO and BETRAYED like his enemies!"

[scenic zinc]

That's the most reasonable take I've read today.

[woven flint]

Listen, I want to hug Minotaurs all day, some of you like WEIRDER things!

[buoyant oar]

Well you see a Avernus is hot

[woven flint]

All Demon Lord's lie and betray, it's nothing new lmao

[fast latch]

Who?

[raw ocean]

What type of deals do these demon lords give out for people to worship them?

Like I expect bare minimum immortality or something

[scenic zinc]

It would be spoiler territory to say more

[woven flint]

Baphomet is also the king of BEASTS as well

[fast latch]

DMs?

[rugged hawk]

None that Baphomet actually intends to keep, being, you know, the demon lord of LIES and BETRAYAL

[scenic zinc]

Just Google it lol

[buoyant oar]

An Elven vampire who was a paladin of the morning Lord, who introduced the faith of lathander to the mists of ravenloft.

[bronze wave]

Depends entirely lol can’t rlly say

[woven flint]

Notably, Lies and Betrayal is more Graz'zts thing.

[bronze wave]

Well all devils have to honor their contrscts

[raw ocean]

It's gotta be like deals in times of need 90% of the time, they have to find desperate mentally ill people too make deals with

[buoyant oar]

Jander Sunstar tussled with Strahd von Zarovich and attempted to tutor him to be better than his Banal nature when he arrived in Ravenloft.

[woven flint]

Demons don't

[bronze wave]

Just to how they do it

[scenic zinc]

Eh. Only if they're caught.

[rugged hawk]

Sure, but devils always get you with fine print made of invisible ink and the world's tiniest handwriting

[scenic zinc]

There's a whole system for it.

[raw ocean]

"You can get three days off a week" deal

[scenic zinc]

Unfortunately, very true.

[buoyant oar]

The best devils don't make a deal for your soul. But make you do things that corrupt your soul all on your own.

[rugged hawk]

They really would, aye. Just look at personality cults, rich CEOs, and various political figures.

[scenic zinc]

You don't even need to cover it up a little bit. Just offer money or power.

[raw ocean]

We don't even need devil deals for people to make them IRL

[woven flint]

Eh, I think I'd Worship a Devil over a Demon.
'Least Devils can be reasoned with and probably won't kill you for stepping out of line without hearing you out first

[raw ocean]

Mischievous devil mage that makes wacky inventions for the demon lord's army

Till the hero breaks in and you genuinly gotta lock in and start making war crimes

or stick to the wacky inventions to the end

a captain goes down with their ship

You got the hero's companion trapped and tell him to solve a riddle or they get hit with the "throngler"

All fun and games until you find the tier 4 party with a DM who allows homebrew spells and items [it's all over]

Just gotta close your eyes and accept that you are either going to be erased or turned into a goofy party buddy [you cant run]

Yes but there's one member who's extremely paranoid

[tawdry valve]

I have lofty goals of killing an ancient chromatic evil witch and stealing her Divinity, what crazy goals have you guys set for your characters?

[raw ocean]

Getting to the end of a campaign without it being cancelled

[coarse ravine]

The best goal honestly

[tawdry valve]

Lol fair, our groups been going strong for over a year so far

[coarse ravine]

Never surpassed level 13 in a campaign. Only went to level 20 in a westmarch so doesn't count.

[coarse ravine]

Ours folded after 3 years. Keep it strong and continue sessions when only 3 players can make it still

[raw ocean]

Got to level 18 then the campaign imploded

Lowk just gotta find a solid 4 player party and your set

[coarse ravine]

Scheduling is tbe biggest issue

Cause life happens... sickness amongst other things.

[raw ocean]

I was 2 sessions away from seeing the campaign complete

2 dog, then the DM wanted to kick a player and deleted the server when it backfired

[coarse ravine]

I just wished we had one last session and risked it all or nothing to fight the bbeg

[vast sapphire]

I have a question is it possible to be a part of two different campaigns as a noob? Like I feel one session a week might not be enough to satisfy me

[sullen ingot]

I made it to 37 once back in 3.5. We retired characters because every encounter was the DM having to make custom monsters/enemies for us

[coarse ravine]

Yes you can have multiple characters multiple sessions. Up to you

[raw ocean]

Just don’t put them back to back, I did that and it still didn’t feel like enough because I had to wait 5 days

[vast sapphire]

Happy new year BTW

[coarse ravine]

At that point throw God's at you

[sullen ingot]

Nothing is stopping you and it is fun to try multiple concepts

[sullen ingot]

You see the issue then

[vast sapphire]

Good point thanks

[coarse ravine]

I mean they have a statblock and never get used... some crazy 30s next to eachother would cause some problems

Level 37 or not...

[vast sapphire]

You I think so too

[coarse ravine]

Tiamat combined with tarasque and other crs. Would still be a problem at level 37

Correct its no longer storytelling

Its power for sake of power lol.

[sullen ingot]

Disagree. Because 3.5 only scales well so far up

[frigid lily]

Happy new year

[coarse ravine]

Dexter

[sullen ingot]

The 100

[wraith kelp]

HAPPY NEW YEARR!!

i got flash backs to when they killed mind flayer made of flesh with fireworks 🥲

in stranger things

[nimble rampart]

Hi I actually never played Dungeons and Dragons

[sullen ingot]

It’s this awesome game where you roll math rocks and fight monsters. You should try it

[nimble rampart]

I really want to play it!

where is the happy new year chat? also happy new year!

[woven flint]

It's not the new year for everyone, alas, some of us are stuck in the past!

HELP US!
oh no!!!

[glass granite]

-# Gasp! The Lord of Goofy visits the newcomers chat

[timid anvil]

Please keep your happy new years wishes to #non-dnd-topics ;)

[woven flint]

Never!

[glass granite]

Shame

New year wish ruined
Anyway DND!
What’s everyone’s dnd goals for this year?

[severe rampart]

To finally play

[restive swift]

Happy new year from the UK

[minor cargo]

I want to do another short one shot in Ebberon. It focuses on a cult who is trying to build the Emptiness Machine in order to be remade into beings of bliss and joy.

What it does it strips away all humanity.

Each part is guarded by a dungeon focusing on people who are robbed a core part of their identity. The mini-BBEG (coining that term) reoccurs to stop the PCs, slowly becoming lesser and lesser.

At the end they fight the BBEG and the mini-BBEG is there - as either a friend or foe, depending on events up to that point.

My planning says about 12-16 sessions.

[severe rampart]

That sounds awesome

[vast tusk]

Looking for a few players and a dungeon master dm me if your interested dm can choose most aspects

[worldly flare]

#looking-for-players

[severe rampart]

Uh go to #looking-for-dm and #looking-for-players

[vast tusk]

Ok

[minor cargo]

The problem is how much work it looks like I have lined up. I’m technically off but just saw I’m probably going to be in Poland for work for 2 weeks (which means I can’t even run my home game, let alone a new one).

[severe rampart]

Scheduling once again, being the true BBEG

[minor cargo]

Haha I’d like to propose this isn’t so much scheduling as it is “work hustle” 😩

[vast tusk]

How to I add a thing on there

[upper latch]

Hi

[vast tusk]

Hi

[minor cargo]

Instructors are in #find-a-game ! You can type commands in any channel you can type, including this one!

[vast tusk]

Ok

[upper latch]

How everyone today

[worldly flare]

Good, enjoying Wizard as always

[upper latch]

I love watching DND and playing

[reef copper]

For my character to survive long enough to be a father

[timid current]

hey Steve, there's a one off album called Guilt Machine by Arjen Lucassen and emptiness machine just made me think of it

[sullen ingot]

You have my attention

[timid current]

anyway it's a beautiful album and you might enjoy it!

[reef copper]

He already has a partner, just need for 2 wars to be over and ideally to propose before too

[minor cargo]

These days, being promised a machine can help us, only to be revealed to be killing us, is really resonating with my story telling…

[crimson gulch]

That's just life

[timid current]

the first track has suuuuper evocative lyrics for some kind of machine that kind of erases bad (by erasing good)

[reef copper]

Cant be morally wrong if there are no morals :)

[cosmic roost]

No pings, please :pray:

If you see someone with “No Pings” in their name, please don’t @ that user. If you Reply to them, please turn the alert @OFF, and if you forget, a simple apology is appreciated. Thank you!

[green parrot]

What did y'all think of dragon of ice spire peak?

Or are there any other modules to run as a beginner dm

[glossy otter]

it's not bad, its good if you want a starting campaign that's plot can alter based on where the group goes

[green parrot]

That's good

[remote wadi]

Okay, so. In the off chance I have to play a 2024 campaign, could someone give me a summary for a spellcasting class that hasn't changed much from 2014?

Bonus points on if it's a Cleric or Warlock

[crimson gulch]

Cleric and warlock had a bunch of changes

Wizards had the least.

The basic rules are free, you should peruse them

[rugged hawk]

And subclasses are now delayed til level 3, like that somehow needed altering

[umbral girder]

Wizard is likely the Spellcaster with least changes in its class

Subclass wise it’s a bit of a different story.

Wizard now gets expertise and their subclass now gives them a bunch of free spells of their school each level.

And they made it more clear about Ritual casting and their spellbook by making it it’s own feature (functions the same)

[barren moon]

Hi

I'm new to d&d

[umbral girder]

Of course every caster you see will have a good amount of changes because some spells have changed

[barren moon]

Sorry for interrupting

[umbral girder]

Also a change in the Bonus action spellcasting rule but that isn’t really too relevant for wizards

[barren moon]

I'll see myself out

[umbral girder]

Hello! We have #dnd-newcomers for people just joining the game!

[barren moon]

Oh

Ok thanks I go there

[severe rampart]

Amen to that

[glossy otter]

ngl after playing life is strange, it does give me some ideas for my strixhaven campaign

[remote wadi]

I wanted to choose that because Wizard is... not something I am an expert with

What exactly changed for Warlock and Cleric? I know Cleric doesn't have domains now

[umbral girder]

They have 4 domains as their subclasses. They get them at level 3. They can now heal or do damage with channel divinity. They also get an extra channel divinity. Also their max prepared spells are based on class level and not your Wisdom modifier.

Destroy Undead is replaced with Sear undead as its an AOE of damage now as well.

[remote wadi]

And Warlocks?

[umbral girder]

Divine Intervention at 10th level recreates a cleric spell and 20th is the Wish spell

[umbral girder]

Pact boons are now part of invocations, their subclasses actually auto prepare their spells instead of adding to their spell lists, and more Invocations

And the Pact boons/Invocations have tweaks as well too.

Oh yeah they have a once a day ability to get spell slots without Resting

[remote wadi]

So, unfortunately, someone has already claimed Fighter for the next campaign

[umbral girder]

Why not just build a different Fighter?

[raw ocean]

Fighter's can do long ranged too

[remote wadi]

Pet peeve. I hate doubling classes

[umbral girder]

So?

[remote wadi]

I would prefer to try out a full spellcaster

Preferably Cleric, Warlock, or possibly sorcerer

[umbral girder]

Well good luck with that.

[remote wadi]

Well, i want good help with that

Not too familiar with 2024, but if that's the campaign, then might as well start learning 2024

[umbral girder]

Eh just reread your features you get and you should be fine.

[crimson gulch]

I have had a lot of folks have their first experience with the 2024 options in my games, there's a lot more that is the same than is different

[remote wadi]

Well, I'm just a little stuck

Part of it is also it being hard to choose which to do

[umbral girder]

Roll a d12 and just stick with it. 12 classes in the PHB after all.

[remote wadi]

What's a nat 1?

For the d12

[crimson gulch]

It's just alphabetical

[remote wadi]

...it was a joke

[raw ocean]

top to bottom, probably barbarian

[rigid delta]

Has anyone used a false hydra before?

[raw ocean]

Yeah, it's power scales with how good your players are with notes

[crimson gulch]

phew, what a year. i just did my final tally and i ran 326 sessions of DND this year

[torpid ocean]

Is a githyanki silver sword a magical item?

[raw ocean]

Yes

[golden latch]

Happy Dungeon year!
Jk

Idk where to say happy new year

[torpid ocean]

how come they're magical?

[raw ocean]

"They were powerful magical greatswords that came in two varieties, depending on the wielder's rank. Their most notable property was the ability to sever an individual's silver cord."

Pretty sure every legendary weapon in D&D has magic

[jovial shadow]

Because they can cut the silver cord that attaches your astral body to your physical self

[raw ocean]

If it does more than cut, it's probably magical

[torpid ocean]

is the aftethought a magical item? [vecna's dagger for those who don't know[

[torpid ocean]

oh DAMN

[raw ocean]

Yes, it is magical

If it's uncommon or above, probably magical

[hot gate]

If it has any rarity, it is magical.

[rigid delta]

How has it worked out for you in play?

[rugged hawk]

Unless it's an Antimagic Sword, maybe. Like that rock Drizzt used to keep in a lead cup.

[torpid ocean]

sorry for all the random questions but just so I can clarify, is the lady of pain a diety or is she simply just.. something?

[raw ocean]

So-so, if you have a smart cookie in your party they can find out in a session or two

not a deity

kind of like an uhhh, cosmic law?

[rugged hawk]

That's intentionally unclear, but 'not a deity' is accurate, since deities can't enter Sigil

[torpid ocean]

yeah I think the lady of pain is a diety in some form but not exactly a goddess

[rugged hawk]

She's not. She explicitly kills anyone who even thinks of worshipping her.

[calm jolt]

Pelor is one of my favorite gods

[torpid ocean]

is she a celestial then?

[raw ocean]

She's a being beyond gods

It's like gravity, she just kind of exists

[torpid ocean]

so sort of like what the titans are to the greek gods?

[rugged hawk]

She's.... a fundament part of Sigil. Not a god, not an Outsider of some kind. It's as if Sigil itself is 'alive' and she's the form it took.

[raw ocean]

She's basically the game engine

[rigid delta]

I see. Interesting. Never used one before and it gives Time of the Silence vibes ala Doctor Who. Though, the players don't get a saving throw after it plays its song.

[torpid ocean]

ah right, so she is sigil?

[raw ocean]

She's just apart of reality

[rugged hawk]

She's spent so long in Sigil that she doesn't know where she ends and Sigil begins

[torpid ocean]

right.

[rugged hawk]

She knows everything that happens everywhere in it at all times

And her power alone is enough to block all deity powers and the deities themselves in her city

[torpid ocean]

the lore I'm building so far is that there are 4 beings above gods, being Ao, lady of pain, dark powers and asmodeus

[torpid ocean]

yeah so she might as well be sigil itself with how much control she has over it lol

[rugged hawk]

She's not necessarily 'above' gods, but she absolutely does not want to become one. It's why she instantly kills anyone who dares to worship her.

[raw ocean]

There's only one true being above all in D&D

[torpid ocean]

say it with me, the DM

[raw ocean]

That would be the DM

[rugged hawk]

No, player imagination.

[scenic zinc]

Nope

[rugged hawk]

DM is just an engine for controlled chaos

[scenic zinc]

The idea that the dm is above the players is one of the most toxic ideas

[raw ocean]

Never said the DM is above players, I said the DM is above all the being's within their set universe of D&D

[scenic zinc]

They aren't.

The table as a whole is.

[torpid ocean]

he's implying that in-lore the DM's role is an ultimate diety that rules everything considering it's the DM's job to build the entire world and bring it to life

[raw ocean]

So the players get to choose the BBEG?

[keen kestrel]

clearly it's wizard, who wants a d6 for a hit die

[scenic zinc]

Which is entirely untrue.

[rugged hawk]

Wizard dies of 1d4 greed for bigger die damage

[torpid ocean]

we didn't mean it seriously lmao it's just a funny way of explaining who the ultimate diety is because there is no true ultimate creator in dnd

[scenic zinc]

The idea that players play no part in building the world or bringing it to life is hilariously wrong.

[raw ocean]

So your telling me as a DM, if I decide to end a campaign the players have a play in it?

[crimson gulch]

A lot of times campaigns end because of the players, so yeah

[keen kestrel]

at least we're not in early editions, where they had 1d4 of a hit die lmao

[rugged hawk]

You have fundamentally misunderstood D&D as a collaborative effort on the part of all involved.

[torpid ocean]

we didn't say that they have no part in how the world plays out, we're saying that a funny answer for an ultimate creator is the DM since his main job to build the world and bring it to life

[scenic zinc]

And if the players all walk out on you, you can't continue even if you wanted to.

[raw ocean]

Im not saying the DM is above the players, yk what there's no point in speaking with you guys on this, it's obvious you don't get the point

[remote wadi]

True tho

Either way, I think i can round out the party with a Warlock. Rune Knight Fighter is confirmed, Paladin is implied

[scenic zinc]

I'll say this again like I did last time to someone else.

I understood your point. It's a bad point.

[remote wadi]

Anyone got some suggestions to consider for 2024 Warlock builds and why they work?

[torpid ocean]

yeah what we're saying is that a funny answer for 'so who actually made everything in dnd' is the DM. It's not more complicated then that, so stop trying to overanalyse it.

[keen kestrel]

sounds like you'll have a very brawly party, cleric or warlock will work better than sorcerer

[scenic zinc]

It's not true and not funny.

[keen kestrel]

archfey warlock, you'll be the controller of the party and rely mostly on just avoiding combat while using like hypnotic pattern and misty step

[torpid ocean]

didn't know i was speaking to the fun police here lol, just because you don't find something funny doesn't mean it's not funny, humor is completely objective

[keen kestrel]

just be a pact of the tome fellow and get lots of rituals with the ascendant tome invocation, you'll be great utility for the party

[limpid plaza]

We talking spells?

[torpid ocean]

and we weren't trying to say it was an actual thing or an explanation, it's called a joke. look it up, Socrates.

[scenic zinc]

Sure didn't seem like a joke, to me.

[keen kestrel]

dangit, now I wanna play an archfey warlock

[torpid ocean]

you can't just say 'well it didn't look like a joke' to justify you acting like a prick about this lol

[scenic zinc]

Especially with how John was defending it.

[raw ocean]

Just give up on it, some people in this server are going to shut down other people's opinions because "that's not how I play"

This is just gonna end up with both of you getting warned or something

[torpid ocean]

if you weren't sure if it were a joke or not then why didn't you just ask us 'is this a joke' before critisizing it lmao

[remote wadi]

Warlock was the idea

But probably not archfey. Second least preferred class after elves

[torpid ocean]

not even how he plays, he's just looking for things to complain about to seem smart to everyone else

[scenic zinc]

Because it's obvious John isn't joking, to me.

[keen kestrel]

well, that only leaves 3 other subclasses

[scenic zinc]

And I'm not complaining. I'm saying that the idea that the dm is in charge and is 'god' is a bad and toxic idea.

[crimson gulch]

I know I have sure Seen the Dm is the god vibe go down some very toxic paths

[rugged hawk]

Since when is 'Elf' a class?

[keen kestrel]

celestial is cool flavor wise, though the abilities are pretty meh. Fiend is just a traditional blaster if you want that, and GOO is cool for doing other util stuff

[torpid ocean]

and if he isn't joking then why is it your problem? dnd is intentionally left to be very customisable, if you want to excuse the DM as being an ultimate diety in-game let him

[crimson gulch]

1981

Basic set had elf and dwarf as classes

[torpid ocean]

yeah but it really depends on your party and if they're cool with it

[naive cedar]

and halfling i believe

[scenic zinc]

#dnd-discussion message

[torpid ocean]

that.. is complaining though

saying that an idea doesn't make sense is complaining that it doesn't make sense..

[rugged hawk]

....oh. If you say so, Elrond

[scenic zinc]

I'm not saying it doesn't make sense. Please reread.

I'm saying it is bad and wrong.

[torpid ocean]

apply the argument to you saying it's bad and wrong then.

[scenic zinc]

Still not a complaint.

It's a statement.

[fickle heart]

It would probably be more beneficial for people to elaborate on what they mean when they say "the DM is god", because there's the "genuine" view of it that is often toxic and there's the colloquial view of it that's meant to be more comedic.

[raw ocean]

I wonder how wyvern poison tastes

[severe rampart]

I think it tastes like poison

[torpid ocean]

yeah this was meant to be a joke anyway and people just read into it too much

we weren't trying to propose it as an actual game idea, so you don't need to point it out as being a bad idea

in other words, save your thoughts for something that isn't a jolke azerick.

[crimson gulch]

Very spicy

[severe rampart]

Though, for a real answer, wouldn't a creature evolve for its poison to have "no taste"?

You typically don't want people you poison to know they've been poisoned

[scenic zinc]

Except when I did, you both defended it.

[torpid ocean]

aren't a LOT of poisons tasteless?

[raw ocean]

The way I was trying to say is that the DM manages all of the beings in the D&D world and dictates how most of them act in response to player actions, I don’t remember saying “DM has full control and can tell the players to do whatever they want”

[severe rampart]

THANK YOU, cat lover

I guess you just... Echo'ed my words, eh?

[rugged hawk]

Like fort saves and attribute damage

[torpid ocean]

YOU'RE welcome

[torpid ocean]

also I didn't see you say the same thing srry

[severe rampart]

It's wordplay baby, but no worries here

[torpid ocean]

I noticed that it was wordplay

[raw ocean]

DM has full control over the world setting other than the PC’s and how they change it

[glass granite]

No, they’re Echo. Who’s Welcome?

[severe rampart]

Actually, my legal name is Echo W. Echo

[remote wadi]

So, what spells should I consider as Warlock? Eldritch Blast will not be mentioned, as I'm obviously taking it

[torpid ocean]

insert gif of someone jumping from a bridge here

[raw ocean]

So DM is above all in their world, they aren’t above the game itself

[stoic obsidian]

I keep thinking about spells

[severe rampart]

What about 'em?

[glass granite]

Hex maybe

[torpid ocean]

I like to think that the ultimate diety is a god of stories who manipulates the fates of people for his/her amusement

[stoic obsidian]

Ever had the power to pick whatever spell from any spell list in game before, because your dm allows it

[remote wadi]

Hmmm... I want to ask about that. Are ability checks from the opponent really that useful?

[raw ocean]

Ultimate deity is IRL fate leading you to a good table

[severe rampart]

I have mirror image on my bard for the sole purpose of flavor, I get to insult the enemy 4 times (though it won't affect anything mechanically)

[torpid ocean]

I have spent a solid 4 months to find a table lmfao

[severe rampart]

Weirdly enough my Changeling Bard has a lot of illusion spells

[glass granite]

It’s just really about the damage, but yeah it can help with grapples. That’s about it.

[raw ocean]

I have nothing currently, Wild West campaign starts in a week

[torpid ocean]

WILD WEST CAMPAIGN!?

[stoic obsidian]

Yup, I feel I am in a predicament

[severe rampart]

Sounds awesome, so, firearms included?

[torpid ocean]

I wanna run a wild west campagin :(((

[raw ocean]

Firearms included

[severe rampart]

I think my only hope of getting firearms is to possibly use an artificer

[raw ocean]

I’m starting with a double barrel shotgun baby

[severe rampart]

Why

[scenic zinc]

-# dunno why people think firearms are that odd in fantasy settings.

[torpid ocean]

I'd just make arthur morgan my PC lol

[severe rampart]

Why a double barrel shotgun?

[glass granite]

Why not?

[raw ocean]

My character has weave sickness so…

[torpid ocean]

shotguns were popular in the wild west

[raw ocean]

DM said we start with revolvers and I said “Can I roll for a different type of gun?”

[severe rampart]

Ammunition capacity, and the reloading takes a good time, if I remember correctly

[glass granite]

But cool

[still plover]

The mass production of death wands.

[severe rampart]

I think it's also on the lower range side? Don't quote me on that though

[scenic zinc]

And? Magic already exists.

[raw ocean]

I will be grinding for that explosive ammo bro

[calm jolt]

I’m surprised guns are in D&D now

[glass granite]

Also, muskets are in dnd. They reload as fast as crossbows in this game.
They are not in any means realistic

[severe rampart]

It usually isn't

[scenic zinc]

But why?

[raw ocean]

I am going to blow a hole through someone’s house in this campaign

[severe rampart]

Oh, then by all means, use shotguns

[scenic zinc]

It's straight up in the phb now.

[calm jolt]

Must be new I think

[raw ocean]

Love how gith used to be able to fire 6 musket shots in 6 seconds

[crimson gulch]

They have been for 40 years

[calm jolt]

Interesting

[torpid ocean]

blow someone away with the shotgun and just laugh maniacally

[torpid ocean]

if they githyanki got their hands on firearms they would be terrifying lmao

[buoyant oar]

Aww Tim Kask died.

In 1976 Kask edited the final three supplementary rules booklets for the original D&D rules: Eldritch Wizardry, Gods, Demi-gods & Heroes, and Swords & Spells.

He also created Dragon Magazine

He was also the Original Kwalish

January 14, 1949 – December 30, 2025

[naive cedar]

aww 🙁

[severe rampart]

Oh my bad, I misinterpreted an old text from my one-shot DM, told me that firearms weren't allowed at "any tables" Which I guess meant the tables he was hosting

[crimson gulch]

Most of them are allready super powerful without them

[still plover]

The old paper cartridges, I reckon.

[severe rampart]

At least knock first

[torpid ocean]

I'm surprised they haven't discovered guns despite being all over the multiverse lol

[severe rampart]

Get more bang for your buck

[raw ocean]

Gonna name my shotgun “Polite Knock”

[crimson gulch]

Some of them do for sure, it's just not a huge part of their lore

[torpid ocean]

yeah, plus I can probably see vlaakith denouncing firearms for being too easy to use

[scenic zinc]

huh

[torpid ocean]

speculating on if the githyanki got their hands on guns

[scenic zinc]

why would she get rid of a way of making it easier to kill their enemies?

[raw ocean]

Yall ever hit genuine flow state in D&D and picked all the perfect decisions in combat

[scenic zinc]

nope

[umbral girder]

"These guns take longer to reload and do a 1/5 of the damage our swords do? Why do we need it?" Vlaakith probably

[crimson gulch]

Yes

[torpid ocean]

idrk, it seems like a very vlaakith thing to do. Also for them to work harder because with an easy meathod like guns her people might become worse warriors or something for it.

[scenic zinc]

this would make more sense

[raw ocean]

Flow state genuinely feels like that one Sherlock Holmes movie where he calculates everything

Until your teammate decides to cast fireball and ruin your entire plan

[torpid ocean]

when you're absolutely cooking someone as fighter and you hear someone say 'I cast fireball on [enemy you're fighting]'

[fickle heart]

using Daylight against vampires and standing in a perfectly picked spot to command the entire encounter area

[umbral girder]

"Well we can shoot them from far away?"
"You ride dragons, can teleport, cast spells, and can move things quickly to yourself with psionics. What long range targets do you care about?"- Vlaakith probably

[raw ocean]

“I could get their entire band of bandits, but I would have to hit my paladin…”

[torpid ocean]

also a mind flayer would probably just slow the bullets down like neo lol

[raw ocean]

“You have to crack a few eggs to make a good omelette”

[torpid ocean]

'making the mother of all omlettes here jack, can't fret over every egg'

[raw ocean]

Tsunami spell TM

[rugged hawk]

iunno, I feel like maybe senator nanobots made some good points

[umbral girder]

Anyway the Githyanki actively do better with what they have than with guns

Like it would be a nerf for them if anything

[torpid ocean]

'with all due respect my queen, it would be a much more efficient way to dispose of-'

'I don't care it makes my soldiers lose aura' -vlakkith probably

[rugged hawk]

You wanna buff the Githyanki, remove Vlaakith

[torpid ocean]

I mean isn't that just the githzerai

[umbral girder]

Considering an automatic rifle only does 2d8 while their swords do 5d6+str mod+3 I think thats a lot more efficient.

[torpid ocean]

eh I was making a joke don't take it too seriously

[umbral girder]

"We made grenades!"
"You can cast Fireball."

[rugged hawk]

Grenades don't take decades of study to throw

[torpid ocean]

I can imagine a discussion about the githyanki using guns ending with vlaakith wishing someone to end

[burnt valley]

Githyankis arming themselves with antimatter rifle

[umbral girder]

Yeah and the Githyanki are outside of Time so it really doesn't matter. Also they need bullets to craft and maintenance for the gun to even work properly.

[torpid ocean]

and as I bought up earlier the mind flayers would probably just slow the bullets down like neo

[raw ocean]

"How will we get past these bullets!" The humble wind wall spell:

[torpid ocean]

question

[glass granite]

Answer

[torpid ocean]

so mind flayers are controlled by elder brains but are they led by higher-rank mind flayers? like is there a 'mind flayer elite' of sorts?

[uncut zenith]

Yes

Ullitharid are typically the “general” in a mind flayer colony

[magic roost]

Hiii!

[torpid ocean]

oh right! do you know which sourcebook they're in

[torpid ocean]

hi!

[uncut zenith]

I believe Volo’s Guide to Monsters? Maybe got reprinted in Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes

[gusty notch]

I have a question for yall do you refer to your dungeon master as the DM or GM?

[torpid ocean]

lemme check MotM

[glass granite]

I say DM

[crimson gulch]

Dungeonmaster, because the dungeons are the high points in my games

[torpid ocean]

@uncut zenith they ARE in MOTM!

[hidden spindle]

GM. I don't like thinking about Direct Messaging

[hot marlin]

Also fun fact: Ulitharids are the ones who eventually become elder brains

[gusty notch]

lol

[torpid ocean]

yeah I just read that in their description lmao

[torpid ocean]

also don't the githyanki look so alien because of how long they've been experimented on for?

[lofty dew]

Guys I have a quick question I'm new

[glossy otter]

#dnd-newcomers

[torpid ocean]

shoot

[hot marlin]

The original form of their species, if they even had one, is not known

[lofty dew]

I'm currently using the site and I just built my character but have no idea how to play

[glass granite]

Read up on the first few chapters of the free basic rules on #learn-to-play , and feel free to ask any questions you might have. Then, make a practice character and get it reviewed in #character-discussion .
Once you’re ready and got the fundamentals down, you can check out #find-a-game for information on how to find a group online. To make a post, type the appropriate command in any chat channel.

And ask those type of questions in #dnd-newcomers , the folks there will help. Just for future reference

[lofty dew]

cuz im from eu and its 4:30 in the morning so i get it why they sleeping

gn

[idle oar]

Because sleep is good.
But also not really D&D related.

[raw ocean]

Sometimes the D&D chat can just go silent for like 10 minutes, it starts back up usually when someone brings up something D&D related, like the most useful spell irl

I’d say mending

Would be great for a repair business

[idle oar]

Very good spell

[orchid root]

Gng watching the last episode of ST really hit me hard as truck.

[raw ocean]

Can’t wait for the inflow of ST fans that want to play D&D after the ending

New players are always nice

[orchid root]

I did already but goddamn.

IT HIT ME AS A TRUCK DAWG

I cried like 10 times gang

[idle oar]

Good storytelling is always a joy

[orchid root]

Gn man imma see if i can draw the mindflayer before new years

[lethal bluff]

I’m so happy that a show I grew up with was absolutely ruined !!

[stark tundra]

Ah which show

[lethal bluff]

I’m going to be so fr I joined for the emojis and guild tag,, should I start?

[lethal bluff]

Stranger Things 😭😭

[stark tundra]

How was it ruined

[raw ocean]

Lots of stuff to learn but it’s never too late to start

[stark tundra]

Exactly that's the best mentality

Honestly even a beginner has a spot at the table

I usually have beginners run the notes

Its a way to get them the most info

[lethal bluff]

The writing in the last season is atrocious, they forgot the qualities and personalities of their own characters, and it doesn’t feel like the 80s at all. It doesn’t help that obviously a lot had to be cut out, but there were a lot of replaceable scenes. I’m not going to be explicit as I don’t want to spoil.

[haughty nebula]

I need some advice on my character

[hushed mason]

There's a channel for that. #character-discussion , I believe.

[prisma mason]

I don't see why not

It's a fun game with lots of cool history

[orchid root]

İdk gng I thought it was peak the last episode ngl

[prisma mason]

I had a few issues with the last season but it's fine overall imo

Didn't like that they didn't do the homework that sorcerer didn't exist in their time for dnd from my understanding

[dusty fern]

Anyone else just finish the stranger things finale?

[haughty nebula]

Yes I did

[meager fractal]

GOT season 8 level disappointment

[high vine]

What tools would someone need to fix a balista? Maybe blacksmiths or tinkerers tools?

[crimson gulch]

carpenters

[prisma mason]

Yeah sounds about right

[stark tundra]

Depends on what part of the balista is broke

[high vine]

I think all three could work honestly

[haughty nebula]

I thought it was good just they tried too hard to make everyone so sad but knew what’ the outcome would be

[prisma mason]

Eh? Depends the ballista can be made of alot of metal parts or machinery

[humble cairn]

Wait please don't spoil

Also probably #non-dnd-topics

[high vine]

That's also a good point lol trying to find an out in the next session. I want my players to be able to fix a balista if they can sneak through this ship without attracting the dungeon boss's attention

[crimson gulch]

there mostly wood from what i have seen

[high vine]

But I gotta make sure they don't do it before they go in or it's not a reward so ima casually put the tools they'd need in the crew quarters of the ship

[meager fractal]

the important parts that are hard to replace are probably made of metal tho

[crimson gulch]

it really depends on what part broke

[high vine]

Yeah which will give me an out lol if they HAVE carpenters tools I can make it require blacksmith tools

Basically if they can sneak through the dungeon they get some time before the dungeon bosss shows up to fix the balista which will help them in the fight

[humble cairn]

I'd let them use any of blacksmith, carpenters, or tinker tools.

[high vine]

Ima pick the one they don't have and put the tools the need as loot in the dungeon

[humble cairn]

Why deny them the ability to use something they invested in?

[high vine]

Yeah I see your point

[humble cairn]

Ahh, making it a mini quest?

Mini quests are also good, maybe let them use whatever tool they have, but day they need a special part that's somewhere else..

[stark tundra]

Make it a mini quest but even if they don't find the proper tools I'd say they can still fix it just make it a harder check

[meager fractal]

i'd probably make it some kind of out of combat montage that takes a variety of skills / tool proficiencies

[high vine]

Yeah so basically they arrive on this ship and they have to go to the lowest deck to find an artifact and destroy it to stop undead from reanimating. But at anytime a couple of harpies can show up and cause them trouble

[humble cairn]

Skill Challenges are also great.

[high vine]

But if they manage to make it through the ship and back to the top deck before the harpy arrives they get some time to fix the ballista and shoot her out of the sky

[frank orbit]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🎆🎇🎇🎆🎆🎆💥💥💥💥💥🎇🎇🎇🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎇🎇🎇🎇💥💥💥💥💥💥

[fast sun]

I have never played a sorcerer or a wizard what is the difference disadvantages or advantages of each

[meager fractal]

sorcerers get interesting class abilities that shape their spellcasting, but get less spells known, like waaaaaaaaaay less, so you'll be casting the same 2-5 spells your entire career.

wizards get way more spells known but have to try and divine what spells they'll need because they gotta prepare them ahead of time.

In general Sorcerers are better at bringing the boom and doing high amounts of damage while wizards are better at dealing with a variety of problems.

exceptions exist ofc, as always

[fast sun]

do sorcerers have trouble being versatile because of only a limited amount of spells?

[meager fractal]

yeah, generally. The problem tends to go away as you level tho

[fast sun]

what do you mean does the spells get stronger

[rough basalt]

Certain metamagic is insane from the getgo and stays that way so it gets stronger as spells do

[fast sun]

wait so which one is stronger is the only difference flexability?

and how they got the magic to begin with

[rough basalt]

Wizards are more versatile where as Sorcerers are more specialized

[opaque dagger]

is grim hallowe third party?

[meager fractal]

yes

[stark tundra]

Yee wizards are good all around casters while sorcerers are more either damage or buff

[edgy nova]

Question-

What is your best/favorite "What class should you play" video, quiz or chart?

[crimson gulch]

Rolling a d12

[cursive fjord]

Im curious is 1d8+3d6+2d4 at level 5 character per hit an okay standard?

That does take a 3rd level spell slot (2d4), concentration, and a subclass resource (3d6 Resource total: 4 hits).

[crimson gulch]

Burning all your resources is going nova, not the standard

[cursive fjord]

Fair should compare it to other nova and see how it stacks up

[coarse ravine]

Yes no way wizards of coast would make the grudgel race legal.

Opportunity attack when someone gets in melee with you... with martial or warcaster thats nutty

That also includes a cantrip from any class... so grudgel gets eldritch blast along with free opportunity attacks

[opaque dagger]

whats that?

[empty thicket]

Wizard have variety
Sorc have adaptability
Warlock have power

Or is what i understand

[frosty lava]

HAPPY NEW YORK

[lament ice]

wait huh

[echo yacht]

Happy new years

[lament ice]

oh🥹

[stark tundra]

Warlock has good bit of cantrip power

[empty thicket]

Yep, warlock have many things to adapt or flavor a fantasy

[stark tundra]

Yep I play warlocks they're fub

[empty thicket]

The pacts and invocations

[stark tundra]

Fun I play pact of tome

[empty thicket]

I didnt had the chance yet, i Will maybe play a wizard

[glossy otter]

Happy new years yall

[echo yacht]

happy new year

[summer quiver]

Happy new years for all EST peoples

[stark tundra]

I still got a hour

Cst myself

[hardy quarry]

Happy New Year East Coast!

Also I am new here and I am interested in learning D&D

I am reading the learn-to-play channel and the websites provided

[lament ice]

hold up

lemme guess your background....hm....is it sage?

[regal gulch]

Sorry I’m a little intoxicated but I still wanna we wish you a happy new year before I forget.

[static gyro]

Wuff

Still processing ST finale

But also wanting to start a new campaign with my friend at the start of the new year

[lament ice]

happy new year

[remote wadi]

Happy new year from EST

[lament ice]

sadly i still have to wait 3 hours

fun fact: I only started playing DnD after my dad (who played dnd) died…whoops sorry dad

[hearty spruce]

New years new campaigns

[small heath]

Happy New Year everyone!

[formal dove]

how do yall feel about playing dnd wothout grids or minis

[green parrot]

Grids are easy to make btw

But if forced I could forgo all of that and it would still be quite enjoyable

[lyric jungle]

Grids for me at least is helpfully with tell me how much space is between the players and the npcs

[green parrot]

Yes

[lyric jungle]

Without the ruler and stuff that everyone can see depending on what u use

[green parrot]

Depends greatly on the dm if there are minis or not

I played for half of my campaign without them. I just used some chess pieces

[lyric jungle]

Ooo that's a good idea

[fiery perch]

I just finished making my character who is
a high-elf aasimar divine soul sorcerer with the lucky origin feat, noble background and 8th cousin twice removed of the Emperor

Now the thing is - My DM wants me come up with a valid reason for this character being a trust fund nepo baby if they are to be an aasimar and I was thinking Tymora would have to do something with it but I just can't think of an end means, Cui Bono you know?

and I am not that well versed in forgotten realm God history for Tymora to just put all of the luck of the universe in 1 guy. Can someone with more knowledge of the forgotten realm help me craft a reason

[ashen kelp]

A successful mercenary would have sick drip ngl, they'd be wearing armor and wielding weapons from various lands and cultures

[meager fractal]

What are we talking about now?

[green parrot]

A family that has any relation to Royalty is or was an incredibly rich or important family

[fiery perch]

Why would that be a reason?

[green parrot]

Rich family often have nepobabys

[glossy mountain]

I think the game benefits significantly from grids considering that you need precise measurements

[fiery perch]

Yes but why would the universe put so much divine energy into 1 person from said family

[green parrot]

I think divine energy passes along through generations?

Not sure though

[fiery perch]

I am thinking of some sort of divine chosen one narrative

[stoic haven]

Happy New years yall

[cursive fjord]

Man its strange playing a Warlock-esq class and having so many different spells but so little spell slots.

[umbral girder]

That’s why I like to cast spells without slots as Warlocks

[winter knot]

My PC died in the last session of the year.

[thorn zodiac]

hello there

oh no i killed the chat-

[viscid chasm]

Man, that sucks

Your PC as in computer or PC as in character?

[winter knot]

Character.

Oh well. New Year, New Me.

[umbral girder]

They clocked out

[thorn zodiac]

is there a limit to how many classes one character can have

[timid current]

not really

[winter knot]

Technically, 13, if you’re only talking official ones. 20 if you’ve got some homebrew (max level). But if you’re playing past 20, sky’s the limit.

[timid current]

there's only so many classes

[thorn zodiac]

oh my god-

[winter knot]

But really, that’s between you and your DM.

[umbral girder]

13 also you have to meet the Stat Requirements for each class too

[thorn zodiac]

wait arent there only 13 classes,how cna you have more then that

[timid current]

homebrew/third party

[thorn zodiac]

oh right

[umbral girder]

Homebrew

[thorn zodiac]

is it easier to deal more damage with spells or with weapons

[knotty pasture]

Depends on the weapon but spells probably

[winter knot]

No single answer to that. Spells in the long run, but in Tier 1 and 2, martials can keep up pretty well. What level are you playing at?

[knotty pasture]

You are at the mercy of the DM when it comes to how nice the weapon is, DM can't stop you from throwing powerful spells meanwhile

[umbral girder]

Spells for a short time.

Weapons for all the time

[thorn zodiac]

so far im using a level 5 wizard barbarian

[knotty pasture]

What

[winter knot]

Well, that’s an interesting combo…

[thorn zodiac]

my idea for the guy is that hes this huge powerful beast of a goliath,but he hates how deadly his form is,so he pursues magic in order to harness his emotions

[knotty pasture]

You could do that without the Barb part

[thorn zodiac]

i kinda messed up by making him a wizard since i wanted him to be a support spellcaster,heal and protect,but if i put some levels into wiz i can get a feat that lets him heal folks

[thorn zodiac]

the thing is,even though his intentions are to heal and protect,hes got a short temper,and a strong sense of justice,so if you push him he flips from one end of the coin to the other

[knotty pasture]

You can be a wizard that has anger issues just fine

[thorn zodiac]

yeah but barbarian is just his base

plus it gives him an option if he has no spells left

just rage and swing

[knotty pasture]

Drop the Barb part of your character

[winter knot]

If you really want the martial side to it, just make him an angry fighter.

[knotty pasture]

Or if you really want magic from a Barb, Wild Magic

[winter knot]

You can’t cast while raging, so you can only ever use one class’ features at a time. So really, you’re only ever a level x wizard or a level y barbarian… Not a level 5 wizard/barb.

[thorn zodiac]

i was unfamiliar with that

[thorn zodiac]

yeah thats the point,at heart hes a wizard,but when he runs out of options he resorts to his carnal barbaric nature

[hardy quarry]

why not just make a wizard, and have your character look like a literal barbarian, isn't the d&d about imagination a lot of the time to fill avoid these things

[thorn zodiac]

because the character started out as a barbarian when i realised what i wanted for him

i mean im not in an actual campaign,just a roleplay server,so ill probably just make a new character if i get into an actual campaign

[hardy quarry]

ohhhh

[knotty pasture]

Oh pft if its not dnd do whatever

[thorn zodiac]

im sorry im kinda new with this stuff(also i wanted to multiclass-)

[knotty pasture]

Barb Wizard multiclass makes as much sense as swimming while wearing hiking gear

But uhh since its not dnd you can do whatever you like

[viscid chasm]

It's a bad idea because you can't concentrate to cast most spells while raging

[thorn zodiac]

its not really supposed to ''make sense'',it was more about the characters nature for me,i got another character idea in mind but i dont know how well it could be executed mind if i spill it here?

[viscid chasm]

So you would be unable to use any magic while using your barbarian powers

[thorn zodiac]

oh no if he rages hes effectively given up on resorting to magic

[thorn zodiac]

yeah its just a server based using bots and the systems yadda yadda

[winter knot]

From an RP perspective, it sounds awesome. Sort of a Bruce Banner/Hulk situation.

[knotty pasture]

Oh and I hate to be a party pooper as well but if its not dnd it would probably fall under #non-dnd-topics (your character concept I mean)

[thorn zodiac]

yeah kinda,which kinda leads to my other character idea,which is a character with split personality disorder,switching either at going unconscious or at the DMs call,with each personality(theres only two) having a different moral alignment and class,or same class but using the powers of the class for different purposes,still rough sketch tho,maybe i should try something a little different then this since its similarto my previous one

[thorn zodiac]

it kind of is i got a sheet for him and everything,i just dont use it on a set campaign with a specific dm and other players

[knotty pasture]

I thought you're just using your character in your own rp anyways

Like you're borrowing dnd concepts but not actually playing dnd

[thorn zodiac]

in the server theres checks,ive entered and left combat,went on quests and leveled up

[glass granite]

Which sounds like a TTRPG, but if Sublime is right and this isn’t dnd, this is the wrong channel

[thorn zodiac]

oh mb then

[knotty pasture]

Yeah its basically the same as using Mario the character in a completely different platformer game

But by that point this isn't Mario the game even if its still jumping around

[thorn zodiac]

ok moving on then,is the other idea viable then?

[winter knot]

My DM is trying to talk me out of having my dead character stay dead.

[thorn zodiac]

why would they do that-

[winter knot]

He feels bad for killing my character.

[thorn zodiac]

did you roll a dice

[glass granite]

Death saves?
I assume you’ve already done them

[winter knot]

But I’m a forever DM usually. I got so many builds I wanna try! This is my chance at a new one.

No need. Massive damage.

[glass granite]

Time for another life!

Whatcha playing next?

[glass granite]

Also holy hell what happened

[winter knot]

Benedict Tallow started this campaign with no confidence. Through many trials and tribulations, he built up the confidence to stand up to a vampire. He fights for Strahd now.

[thorn zodiac]

oh yeah then id feel bad- but hey youre taking it in well

[glass granite]

What level were you?

[thorn zodiac]

got hit with the hollow purple

[winter knot]

Rolled up an Illusionist Wizard. Looks like a lot of fun in the 2024 ruleset.

[thorn zodiac]

how does an illusionist fare in combat,im assuming the aparitions cant attack or deal damage,is it more of a team player to provide distractiosn

[winter knot]

Had 4 hp left. Vampire critted on a bit.

[glass granite]

Ouch

[winter knot]

Looks to be good. Minor illusion as a bonus action is going to lead to some shenanigans, I’m sure. And some illusions are able to do damage. The 2024 Illusionist can cast some of the conjuration spells as illusion spells with some extra benefits. Should be fun.

[thorn zodiac]

hell yeah have fun

im kinda new so im afraid of making a character with a class that i dont know what all the class features are but i also dont wanna be basic and boring

[winter knot]

I’ve been playing over a decade and never multiclassed once. Basic and boring is just fine.

[thorn zodiac]

nono i mean class wise,like using a class with very basic and easy to remember class features,im afraid itll butcher the potential

[glass granite]

No class is basic and boring unless you make it so.
Simple does not inherently equal boring

[thorn zodiac]

hm true,i might be afraid for no reason

[bronze wave]

Some say ranger….

[winter knot]

One of my favorite characters ever was a champion fighter. RP’ed the heck out of that one. The rules are just a framework to allow the actual game to happen.

[thorn zodiac]

yall mind helpin me create a backup character if i actually join a campaign,or is the wiz barbarian still salvatgable,like i wanna experiment but gain..im avafraid

[winter knot]

The wizard/barbarian may be salvageable in some way, but it’s likely an advanced playstyle. If you’re new, I’d stick to tried and true. Wouldn’t want you to get frustrated by a complicated build while you’re still learning.

[bronze wave]

I’d make the char after you join the campaign personally

[thorn zodiac]

after?

[bronze wave]

Barb wiz also sounds like a horrible combo ngl

[thorn zodiac]

wont that be mad inconvenient for the crew tho

[bronze wave]

You could fit the char lore and playstyle better if you know what campaign you’d join

[knotty pasture]

Wild Magic Barb or Bladesinger Wizard, don't go Barb Wizard

Even Eldritch Knight Fighter works nicely here

[bronze wave]

It’s not like you’d play immediately there’s usually a 1-2 week period for everyone to get ready

I usally give a 2 week period with a S0 in the middle

[winter knot]

Might work if you have ongoing spells that don’t require concentration… But that’s not a nut I want to try to crack.

[thorn zodiac]

i did looka little into eldritch knight but i remember i did not like it

[knotty pasture]

Why not

[bronze wave]

It’s just not a good build lol

[jovial shadow]

I don't know about that. No DM is going to tell you the specifics of the Adventure, just so you can build a character against it

[knotty pasture]

Its just sword guy with spells

[remote wadi]

What exactly is eldritch knight?

[bronze wave]

But you can you do any build tbh

[glass granite]

Fighter that can use some spells

[knotty pasture]

A Fighter that took up some magic

[bronze wave]

I have a char with 10 ac so Meh

[thorn zodiac]

again my way to play him was,be a wizard,if the situation calls abandon wizard and succumb to barbarity

[knotty pasture]

Of the gish classes its the most martial based, more sword swinging than throwing spells

[remote wadi]

So... what makes it eldritch?

[glass granite]

Idk

[knotty pasture]

Its just the name

[remote wadi]

Dang

[thorn zodiac]

cuz my guy doesnt like to fight

[knotty pasture]

You're not dripping in blood because you have blood in your username

[bronze wave]

I mean you’d know the plot hook and premise? You’d go into a world with a char that might be fully unrelated to the game lol?

[glass granite]

And I’m not always correct despite my name having “of Truths”

[knotty pasture]

Dnd is about combat

[remote wadi]

No, but it was the closest I could find to a shadow paladin of sorts

[bronze wave]

Magic

[remote wadi]

Aside from oathbreaker

[knotty pasture]

Anyways no your Barb Wizard cannot be salvage, should not be salvaged

[bronze wave]

I am the biggest Paladin fan. My band is accurate

[jovial shadow]

I don't know what you mean. I was talking to the other person who said to build a character after you were told what it's about.

[knotty pasture]

I don't want to think about how you'd be griefing your team when that time comes

[thorn zodiac]

if i look for a campaign here,is every campaign like in a certain pattern or is each one different,like in terms of dates amount of engagement etc etc

[jovial shadow]

Ha! I had so many people argue against that with me.
