[woven flint]

Mindflayers are cr 8 or 9 iirc

[severe rampart]

Great

[halcyon forum]

Mindflayer is very deadly to that party, but they can win with some luck

but they are likely to TPK

[empty thicket]

yeah.... that is why i say, write everything thinking that the failure is the rule. BEside that, bad luck ngl

[woven flint]

Wait...
Omegon... You're a mindflayer!
How'd you separate from the Hivemind?

[remote wadi]

Understatement

[severe rampart]

I'm thinking of making an old lady in the woods an adult oblex, or at least, being impersonated by an adult oblex

[still plover]

Ah, that d20. It'll getcha.

[halcyon forum]

I'm one of only 13 who are immune

[empty thicket]

what?

[remote wadi]

3 of the rolls that were done to accomplish something important, nat 1

[severe rampart]

what's a decent amount of goblins for 3 people at level 3 to fight?

[ebon silo]

25

🗿

[empty thicket]

Yep, welcome to DnD.
Hope your next planning and session go better buddy

[halcyon forum]

according to the encounter math, yeah. I would not recommend it lol

[empty thicket]

Yes.

(seriously, depend of what they are, but most of the time 5 or 6)

[severe rampart]

Alright so that'll be 8 goblins

[ebon silo]

One of them has to be a warlock

[halcyon forum]

i think 14 goblins might be doable

[amber hedge]

we had 8 for lv 2 with 4 people and we easily did it (it was basically 2 i also did nothing kinda..)

warlock did almost nothing

[ebon silo]

Omegon be playing to much BG 3

[severe rampart]

it's a wizard, fighter, and a rogue

[remote wadi]

Oh, yeah. Did I mention that this is only the first 40 minutes of the ongoing session?

[ebon silo]

I ment the goblins echo

I have a soft spot for goblin warlocks

[woven flint]

A Cleric would be pretty good, as mentioned 🧐

[severe rampart]

I'm too lazy to explain what a cleric does to them

look at me, already starting to sound like a DM

[ebon silo]

When they learn the greatness of the twilight cleric

[woven flint]

That's definitely not how a dm SHOULD sound lol

[hidden spindle]

I hot a soft spot for Half-Orcs

[woven flint]

Just sayin'

[severe rampart]

Like I said, I feel like Wizards, Rogues, and Fighters are the most recognizable with no prior knowledge to DnD

[ebon silo]

Poor paladins

💀

[woven flint]

Yeah, but then they lack someone to heal them

At the very minimum, give them a decent supply of health Potions

[severe rampart]

that too

[woven flint]

But, yeah, Paladins also exist

[empty thicket]

it sound like i was in your session
Yeah buddy, at least you can be nice and give them a short rest or something later to hype them up

[severe rampart]

Oh yeah... I should

[ebon silo]

Campaign im playing right now dm not pulling any punches and i love it

[unique bay]

Well it's kinda just an idea right now cause I didn't know if I'd find anyone who'd be interested. But I guess the idea is that something is wrong with the world on like an elemental level and the players have to find out why strange things keep happening to the land and nature.

[pearl sleet]

Make them fight a mind goblin

[severe rampart]

Don't say it

[vale sage]

Bards bro!!

[remote wadi]

Just got another long rest. Food from animals killed was burnt to a crisp

[severe rampart]

I'm not giving them the option to romance every thing they see, they are degenerates and I know their behavior

[woven flint]

Rogue also has subclasses that are a bit more complicated than Fighter, Wizard and Cleric, in my humble opinion
And you did say the party was level 3

[pearl sleet]

I wanna say it but the mods on here probably won’t like it lol

[real epoch]

what you are talking

[ebon silo]

Im legit curious

[severe rampart]

my first time DMing for friends, to get them hooked on DnD

They have never played DnD before and I made premade characters for them

[real epoch]

Oh yeah which DND game you’re playing

[empty thicket]

remind them they can use items and stuff sometimes, you can use gold, food, etc. instead of some checks and then you can save that burden

50gp to the bartender for some dark info (persuasion)
Some meat to the dogs so they dont attack you (animal handling)
etc. etc.
And can sacrifice some items too, put the axe under the wagoon that is crushing someone, instead of STR check for maintain it up and dont end up crushing the person, teh character put his axe and get broke but didnt got to risk in a check

[severe rampart]

Anyway it's Elf Wizard, Human Fighter, and Orc Rogue

[ebon silo]

Cant go wrong with curse of strahd

[real epoch]

For what

[severe rampart]

My own oneshot for them

[woven flint]

Orc Rogue? Why not a Halfling Rogue, Orc having a bonus action dash is a bit redundant on Rogue

[real epoch]

Oh cool

[remote wadi]

I'm not the DM

But I did roll a 10 on the d12 to recover 10 rations

[woven flint]

Also, I'd associate Halflings with Rogues more than Orcs :p

[severe rampart]

I did want to use a halfling, but alas, here we are

[real epoch]

Hope you enjoy 😇

[ebon silo]

My man wants to play as frodo

[woven flint]

... these are pre-made characters you said? You're the one who made them smh.

[still plover]

Okay, well work on that a bit. Get a first adventure together, a problem to solve, some opposition, complications. Something relevant to the overall of the campaign.

[empty thicket]

ooohhh, okey okey, then it is what it is brosky, still you can use this info and maybe your dm like it

[real epoch]

So go and play with him

[severe rampart]

My friends hated the lord of the rings, especially frodo, so I abstained

[woven flint]

Why not a Tiefling Rogue then? 🧐

[remote wadi]

What info again?

[real epoch]

So you made character for them?

[severe rampart]

Yeah, they know nothing about DnD, so I'm doing it for them, but if they did want to make their own character they're free to if they want

[empty thicket]

Using resources instead of using the save checks or actions.

[severe rampart]

just checked, realized Tieflings were free on DnD beyond so thanks

[remote wadi]

Gotcha. Still massively unfortunate, though

[real epoch]

Oh yeah Well I’m curious to know your friends experience first time in Dnd

[empty thicket]

yep, embrace that bad luck and move forward, you will get luckier moments too

Now if the whole campaign get lower than 10 in the dice all the time, considerate a church or some witch

[ebon silo]

[severe rampart]

alright character sheets are done I just need to remember the encounters, their stat blocks and how to do improv

how do DMs do this...

[plain gazelle]

i'm like 90% sure they're magic

[still plover]

This the pyramid thing?

[severe rampart]

I'm doing my hardest to make this storyline simple

They meet up at a tavern, they get a quest to save someone, they get ambushed by goblins, then they fight an Adult Oblex in the woods, they get a short rest and level up then they rescue someone from the mini BBEG

[severe rampart]

Pyramid thing? what pyramid thing

[woven flint]

I'm 100% sure you're magic, but I just can't prove it

[plain gazelle]

me?

[woven flint]

I've got my eyes on you..!

Magic creature of the depths!

[plain gazelle]

i'm just a land shar

i have clown autism

[woven flint]

Lol

[celest beacon]

My DM put me in a dream sequence where my entire home got pillaged and was being rotisserie cooked and the first thing is asked was, "Am I seasoned? I refuse to be eaten if I'm not seasoned."

[woven flint]

Silly Billy moment

[plain gazelle]

beautiful

i actually made a naga clown bard a while back

[woven flint]

That's adorable lmao

[plain gazelle]

i still haven't drawn them except for a really poorly colored sketch:(

[woven flint]

Dm! I wanna seeee

[plain gazelle]

okii

[still plover]

Someone else, apologies.

[solemn quiver]

🫠

[minor cargo]

Damn. Five year old reply.

[ebon silo]

Need to stop making all my characters dragonborn

[solemn quiver]

heh

[ebon silo]

[plain gazelle]

same, they cool tho

[timid anvil]

Who's performing Necromancing here?

[celest beacon]

[still plover]

How long do you plan the session to be and what do you have for exploration and interaction there?

[timid anvil]

Please do not just post single emojis. (We count that as spam here)

[severe rampart]

exploration would be from the town they came from to the lair of the villain, I am not letting them explore the forest, I'm not hiding plot points behind dice

for interaction I have the barkeeper npc, the horde of goblins, the old lady in the woods, and the mini BBEG

[ebon silo]

Owlbear in the forest boss fight

[severe rampart]

speaking of which, can 3 people at level 4 beat a Stone golem?

[severe rampart]

CR of Stone Golem is 10

[ebon silo]

Those are beefy boys

[severe rampart]

alright then a Hydra, CR 8

[rough basalt]

No, unless they have some serious in their favor circumstances

[severe rampart]

Hydra might actually be good idea, its heads will regrow if they dont use fire damage WHICH the wizard has Fire Bolt for

[ebon silo]

No indeed

[still plover]

Real rough rule of thumb, if a creature’s attack does on average half of the weakest character's HP, it's going to be a proper fight.

[ebon silo]

Legit i would atleast wait til they are level 5

[umbral girder]

Only 3 of them? Yeah no a Hydra or a Stone golem murders them fast.

[ebon silo]

Would not even be a fight, straight massacre

[umbral girder]

You’ll want to look at Cr6 monsters at most with that many players

[ebon silo]

Good ol owlbear

[umbral girder]

That’s Cr3. But a pair of them can work I suppose

[ebon silo]

Well on top of my head for cr 6 i think an ogre or troll would be a good fight

[severe rampart]

What about a Stone Giant, CR 7

nope nevermind, it can do 46 damage in one turn

[umbral girder]

Cr2 for Ogres

[umbral girder]

What’s the goal of this encounter?

If it’s meant to be some magic guardian then a pair of Helmed Horrors can do the same job as a Stone Golem.

[severe rampart]

Final fight of the oneshot, where the 3 players are level 4

[severe rampart]

hm...

[umbral girder]

They are also in the same tier of player as the party.
Or you could do a Helmed horror with back up from 2-4 regular Animated Armors/Swords

[ebon silo]

Evil spellcaster with an ogre

[severe rampart]

that's CR 4 though, a thing they have to fight at level 3 is CR 5 (Adult Oblex)

[umbral girder]

So give it back up.

[severe rampart]

Right, thanks Nealen

[umbral girder]

Action economy and team synergy is what makes fights actually hard in DnD .

Not every enemy has to be big damage either.

[severe rampart]

I'm just gonna re-adjust the encounter so that the person they were going to save was already consumed by an Adult Oblex

so encounters go like

12 Goblins, Helmed Horror, and then Adult Oblex

for the goblins and helmed horror they will be level 3, for adult oblex they will be level 4

[umbral girder]

That goblin encounter may take a while but looks good.

[severe rampart]

Yeah, gonna make it so if they take out their leader quickly then the rest will disengage

[empty thicket]

true, you can just add the "danger" of an enemy, flanking is a way of it
Grappling, less damage attacks, etc. etc.

[ebon silo]

Noice

[umbral girder]

Yeah an encounter with a Barbarian got very iffy for my Tuesday group when she grappled and chucked players off a cliff into monster infested territory

Then 1v1 anyone she could handle

[empty thicket]

When making parties go against hordes its good that you dont just, throw the 20 goblins above the party
Some can be archers, there can be a chaman throwing small spells, etc. etc.

others that arent good with bows throw rocks or just poop

[dusk summit]

Hi, I just joined this discord server and me and my friends want to start playing dnd and i even made a discord server for it with dice and allat and character linking but 2 of my friends who want to dm dont really know how to and we were wondering if any dm's wanna help us learn how to actually play and play with us because we have been itching to play!

[severe rampart]

I just hope my party doesn't start murdering each other

[severe rampart]

#dnd-newcomers and #dm-discussion is really helpful

[proven nova]

Idk, I don’t think I should show up for session tonight

[empty thicket]

give them a common enemy, that most of time work

[dusk summit]

Oki!

[proven nova]

I have a character backstory but I have no idea what kind of a class fits.

[still plover]

Cover it in the pregame brief that they're all friends and on the job together.

[severe rampart]

I am bribing them with food, which I already was gonna order anyway

[still plover]

Three Sentence version, #character-discussion ?

[proven nova]

?

[umbral girder]

They linked a channel for you to discuss the character

[severe rampart]

can I be evil with the helmed horror and say "you see an armor stand" so they will walk into its blindsight radius?

[umbral girder]

Sure up to you.

[empty thicket]

that is one thing i love of DND, while more you know, more fear you have to lil things

"there is a chest in the room, there is nothing else in the room"

[umbral girder]

Yep could be mimics, invisible stalkers, a secret explosive, an illusion, etc.

[ebon silo]

One important rule my dm says, a monster that at 1 hp can do the same thing as one at full hp

[umbral girder]

That is a thing in normal DnD most of the time, yes.

[sullen juniper]

I would add a plus one due to desperation for survival

But that's just me

[empty thicket]

or a slime cube that if you go through you get trapped and melted to death.
Etc.etc. Its amazing

[umbral girder]

Pretty sure the desperation cancels out the exhaustion of their wounds to still be at full power

[bold ice]

Wassup choombas!?
Im BRAND new to D&D (I blame Stranger Things)
So if anyone wants to teach me, feel free do drop a DM please and thank ya!

So many new people 🧐

I see you.
I'm watching you.

I'm EVIL and MALICIOUS >:]

[plain gazelle]

stop being a goober tokii

[coral lake]

Can someone check this character- https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/158528785

The paladin player on my table, is complaining that he feels weak compared to the sorceror and ranger, now at level 3. While he was the strongest among all at level 1... i even gave him 2 magic items, i am not sure how to fix this..

[woven flint]

Thats the name of my game.

[plain gazelle]

ok goob

[rough shore]

no IM a goofy goober

[woven flint]

I'm a goober.
I radiate silly.

[plain gazelle]

indeed

[rough shore]

much silly

[plain gazelle]

very silly

[woven flint]

And probably gamma rays, but we ignore that

[rough shore]

lmao

[plain gazelle]

lol

[rough shore]

i rly do need halp with my character

[valid geyser]

i think it could be a skill issue on their part. Are they casting their spells regularly or using their channel divinities?

[woven flint]

You know?
For a silly man

My characters sure are never silly 😔

[valid geyser]

it happens soemtimes, people complain about being weak and just arent using their kit right

[plain gazelle]

real bro, real i'll tell you how my tabaxi cleric got into the campaign in a min

[coral lake]

Using mostly divine smite on attacks
Not using channel divinity as much

[woven flint]

My up and coming character is a Centaur Barbarian in the Zhentarim that wants to conquer the hells in the name of Bane.

I guess that's KINDA silly?

[plain gazelle]

kindaaa if u don't have glasses on

[rough shore]

nooooooooo

my gif was ate

[plain gazelle]

woof

[glass granite]

Sure, anything specific?

[rough shore]

can we do vc?

[glass granite]

I see you’ve met our resident dragon Themberchaud

[primal forum]

anyone know any 3.5e char sheets?

[valid geyser]

well the sheet itself seems like a perfectly competent, even above average paladin for the level
my only guess could be that the other two party members are really metagamey, or the paladin's just having really bad luck
or possibly your combats are too easy

[rough shore]

i hav crazy idea

[glass granite]

I’d prefer not too

[rough shore]

ok

[woven flint]

To show his Devotion to Bane and the Zhentarim he even has the Zhentarim symbol seared onto his chest :>

[minor lake]

You can find fillable pdfs pretty easily

[plain gazelle]

what do those words mean

[rough shore]

i want to make a tiefling character but am stuck basicly everywhere else

[primal forum]

aah yes my bad. I should have searched first. I assumed they're harder to find now

[minor lake]

We should have a #resources channel for stuff like that

[glass granite]

I could maybe send you a guide?

[coral lake]

Can you suggest some better spells they can take

[woven flint]

The Zhentarim are a mercenary group
Bane is a Deity of Conquest
He has their symbol branded onto his chest lol

[rough shore]

lemme guess jocat's a crap guide to dnd?

[glass granite]

Hope this helps

https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/br-2024/creating-a-character

[minor lake]

Nah the older editions are actually a lot easier to find bc they only really care about 5e now

[rough shore]

if so then good guide

[coral lake]

gm

[plain gazelle]

ohhhhh cool, i kinda wanna make a centaur only because they're considered medium creatures (last tine i checked) and can ride horses

[severe rampart]

Centaurs can ride horses?

[woven flint]

Yes.

[valid geyser]

i could see use in swapping out spare the dying for a ranged attack cantrip or just other utility cantrip, since spare the dying isnt that useful of a spell
Protection from evil and good is decent-ish but it's a situational defensive spell, something like compelled duel or sanctuary might have more use in that job
also id say if theyre not using lay on hands as much, its worthwhile to have it more for extra healing, or prepping cure wounds just in case, but probably not needed

[plain gazelle]

i'm pretty sure

[woven flint]

There's no rules saying they can't lmao

[plain gazelle]

last time I checked medium creatures are allowed to ride horses and centers are medium

[severe rampart]

Loopholes, loopholes

[coral lake]

Okay thanks

[woven flint]

Literally not a loophole, Centaurs can ride a horse perfectly within the rules

[plain gazelle]

how would it work tho, i wanna draw it

[woven flint]

The player character version can, at least

[severe rampart]

Can a centaur ride another centaur?

[plain gazelle]

probably

[minor lake]

Yeah they can stack

[woven flint]

No, because Centaurs are both medium sized creatures as player characters.

[minor lake]

Oh true

[severe rampart]

... what if enlarge/reduce

[minor lake]

There used to be a 3.5 meme of stacking centaurs

[plain gazelle]

no centaur piggy back rides

[plain gazelle]

ooo good idea

[minor lake]

We actually had a meme horse named Bojangles who was world famous because he was the only horse who could ride another horse

[severe rampart]

Stack 3 centaurs by keeping one the same, enlarging one, and then reducing one

Like those Russian nesting dolls

[minor lake]

I was just gonna say it's a nesting doll situation

[plain gazelle]

horse plinko board

[severe rampart]

Guess I just Echo'd your words

[minor lake]

Mind link

[woven flint]

"Equine Build. You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push or drag.
In addition, any climb that requires hands and feet is especially difficult for you because of your equine legs. When you make such a climb, each foot of movement costs you 4 extra feet instead of the normal 1 extra foot."

Technically, it's not even within the trait that you can even ride a centaur, dms just typically allow it so long as you're a size smaller

[minor lake]

Mind flayer energy!!!!1!

[severe rampart]

Can a horse ride a centaur

[plain gazelle]

Horse legs are the same as human middle fingers centaurs are flipping people off six fold

[minor lake]

Guys what if i had a blood bowl game inside of a dnd campaign

[plain gazelle]

a what

[hushed mason]

Sounds like something played at Halloween Tupperware parties.

[minor lake]

Technically the centaur doesn't have ride in the stat sheet like Tokii said so if you wanted to be crunchy you could argue that, but if you're letting a size smaller ride maybe a pony could

Your DM could also make the argument that a pony doesn't have hands which makes it kind of hard to mount

[plain gazelle]

how did this happen

[woven flint]

No as horses are a size larger than a Centaur PC

[plain gazelle]

did i start this? i forgot

[woven flint]

You did lmao

[severe rampart]

Can an artificer experiment with ponies and give them robotic hands

[plain gazelle]

oh gods

[minor lake]

Centaur stack like Voltron

[plain gazelle]

we need someone smarter here bro

[woven flint]

Pathfinder Centaurs actually do have specific rules around using them as a mount and are actually considered Large-sized there

[glass granite]

I’m stupider but I’m here I guess

[severe rampart]

Combined IQ of negative 3

[minor lake]

Yeah it would be cruel but you theoretically could

[plain gazelle]

same

[minor lake]

Unless the pony wants hands lol

[hushed mason]

Hi! @glass granite !

[severe rampart]

There we go

[glass granite]

Only if the DM allows it, cuz that’s reaching into topics that are sometimes banned at the table

[severe rampart]

Well who wouldn't? who's got opposable thumbs and completely appreciates them? This guy!

[glass granite]

How you doin?

[hushed mason]

I need... chocolate.

[plain gazelle]

[minor lake]

It's like that adventure time episode

[severe rampart]

Oh my god

[plain gazelle]

[woven flint]

"Finn, we have to kill the horse."

[severe rampart]

No, different horse... it was a deer that broke his legs

[brave fiber]

Hello chat

[plain gazelle]

ah

[severe rampart]

Where are we going with this

[severe rampart]

Literally me when I got pissed off at this Kobold NPC

[plain gazelle]

centaur stack probably

[woven flint]

Jake the Dog has the best quotes, my favorite is

"Let's rule them like Gods! Angry Gods."

[elder tree]

nothing like dming and being unable to think of how to continue a plot point for a week straight

[minor lake]

I heard an interesting case the other day:
If you have casted water walk, and you jump into a lake from a high place, would it react like water or solid ground

[plain gazelle]

i regret bringing this up

[minor lake]

Water walk does say you can go under the water, but you have to use a bonus action to do so

[severe rampart]

If you cast water walk on a horse, can you ride it and stride the water really really quickly

[plain gazelle]

i'm going with minecraft logic and saying it's like water

[woven flint]

I haven't had a character of mine murder an innocent NPC

Yet.

Stares off at my Angry Centaur man

[minor lake]

OK so like water walk is more of a conscious effort to keep yourself up

I guess it does require concentration

[plain gazelle]

i was thinking of frost walker lol

[minor lake]

ohhhh that's cool

I didn't think of that

[severe rampart]

If you land with your head, no, if you land with your feet, yes

[plain gazelle]

i'm so smar

[severe rampart]

Because you don't use your head to walk

[woven flint]

The smar shart

[minor lake]

I can dig that

[plain gazelle]

centaur palinco board

[hushed mason]

Based on the way Water Walk is worded in 3.5, I would say that if you fell from a height onto a watery surface while under the effects of the spell, you would fall into the water and then be returned to the surface per "the subjects are borne toward the surface at 60 feet per round until they can stand on it.".

[minor lake]

Ooooo I really like that

[plain gazelle]

oooo thas cool

[hushed mason]

Water Walk 3.5 says: "If the spell is cast underwater (or while the subjects are partially or wholly submerged in whatever liquid they are in), the subjects are borne toward the surface at 60 feet per round until they can stand on it." So in my mind, if you're falling back INTO the water, you'd get borne up like you would at the beginning of the spell.

[minor lake]

I think I'd go with that ruling

[plain gazelle]

my fingers just cracked so loud omg how am i not glowing

[hushed mason]

Aw yes... corrupting fifth edition with 3.5 😊

[minor lake]

Hey you had the text to back it up

I think it could be cool if it's like "oh this thing that usually helps me actually screwed me in this instance" but it also feels kind of cheap to be like yeah you land on it like solid ground roll me 6d10

[misty solar]

does anyone know a good site to make continent maps in dnd?

[minor lake]

Yes my dm has a great one I'll ask him what its called gimme a moment

[hushed mason]

Azgaar's is the map program you want!

[misty solar]

ill check it out

thanks

[hushed mason]

https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator

[minor lake]

That might be the same one im thinking of

[hushed mason]

It's ideal for world / continent maps, IMO. I love that you can set global wind patterns.

[minor lake]

Yeah I think that's what he used bc he was hype that he could customize it so much

[hushed mason]

Also love that you can make a global map, then zoom in and make continent or island maps, then zoom in for a regional map with a hex grid.

[misty solar]

i didnt know it was a generator...
is there a way to give it prompts or something?

[minor lake]

That's dope

[misty solar]

i had a specific shape in mind

[hushed mason]

Yes. You can even upload a height map if you already have one.

They have a Discord, too, with friendly people.

[misty solar]

thanks ill check it out

[hushed mason]

THe user interface takes some getting used to.

[night basin]

How big of a reach would it be if I asked my dm if I could make a dragon my warlock patron.

[solemn quiver]

pretty reasonable tbh.

[night basin]

Fr? Dang. Thought it'd be more difficult probably.

[glad arch]

Probably have it be an ancient dragon because warlock patrons tend to be quite powerfull

[night basin]

Shii man ancient dragon, shadow dragon, solar dragon, dragolich, idc what kinda dragon it is having a dragon as a warlock patron is awesome.

[gritty fern]

my friend says she wants learn dnd and get into dming and asked me about pre-written adventures and what would be best to learn. i suggested something from the starter sets would be more suitable for that but im personally wondering, because when i started i had used the Lost Mines of Phandelver, but if you were to compare Phandelver and Heroes of the Borderlands, which one would you say be better for a starting group to understand the game easier?

[glad arch]

Do you have a warlock subclass in mind for which you have a dragon patron or do you want to homebrew a dragon patron subclass?

[night basin]

Hexblade most likely, maybe fiend or efritti genie.

[glad arch]

Then yeh i dont see why a dm would deny a dragon patron, other then some possible story stuff involving dragons.

Like you said, its cool as hell

[night basin]

Speaking of dragons. What's yalls top 3 in media.

Gotta be named or at least make an appearance.

So no potential lizard dragons.

[jolly oyster]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/claim/source/dnd-international-day-of-play-2025

free one shot that leads into the borderlands starter set. Is great for new DMs

[glad arch]

Probably not a dnd discussion unless all your top 3 dragons are dnd related

[night basin]

Yeah that's fair.

[fossil shuttle]

So, what would be needed for a Paladin to, let's just say, hit the moon with a javelin?

[undone rain]

Idk a nat 20 and some good luck?

[cunning tendon]

guys i want to make a warlock high elf who wants to learn the deep lore of whatever universe they're in. what should their name be?

[undone rain]

Kranak

[glad arch]

Break some rules, thrown weapons have a range and i dont think theres a lot increasing that range

[still plover]

Jethezier.

[undone rain]

John Elf

[tawdry sentinel]

Greg

[fossil shuttle]

At this point, the party is dedicated to working together to make this happen

One of my ideas to get a bit more height is to have my character enlarged and have him fly really far up with the Paladin on his back

#ddb-support I'd recommend asking here

[tawdry sentinel]

TBF there are no rules that specifically say Faerun has no air in space so this seems like it should work. 🤔 Just gotta cast fly a few thousand times to cover the distance.

[woven flint]

Holy wall

[glass granite]

Doesn’t sound like a good wall of it has holes in it

[blissful ibex]

Did we get any news on 2026 book announcements yet

[crimson gulch]

Nope

[karmic pendant]

sadly no

[blissful ibex]

[autumn beacon]

Hello hello

[fossil shuttle]

I'm an aarakocra

[vagrant quartz]

i've just played a fairy for a one shot, DAM FLYING IS SO STUPID

" i fly upwards 30 feet " i literally took 0 dmg during the entire thing

[lavish flame]

nobody had a gun?

[limber trail]

I love flying 30ft up as a DM and letting players figure out how they wanna hurt my characters

[fossil shuttle]

Flying Rogue is really fun, deal a ton of damage, get out before you take any, and if you do, reduce it with uncanny dodge

[vagrant quartz]

we had to fight against GOLEMS

there was 0 chances of me getting hit

[loud tendon]

"guns" seem a bit rarer and a stretch. Bows, crossbows, spear and throwing axes are much easier to come by and could do the trick against a flyer.

[limber trail]

There is a reason I've started outfitting a good majority of my HB foes with at least some kind of ranged weaponry

Even if it's just a javelin

[fossil shuttle]

Had a Ranger that tried to knock me out of the sky once. I kept succeeding all the Dex saves for entangling shot and whatnot

[vagrant quartz]

its funny

i was playing a cleric with light armor, i was cosplaying mercy from ow half the session

[fossil shuttle]

I'm just playing the Hero from Slay the Princess

[burnt valley]

We love ranged characters

Regardless if the DM's pieces can fly it doesn't matter xd

[harsh hollow]

Generally DMs are meant to improvise shooting you in that case. I haven't seen for myself but I hear in 2024 more monsters have ranged attacks to mitigate this.

[burnt valley]

Gatekeep them from picking their javelins back

[atomic kayak]

I also love when a PC flies up super high and either A) gets attacked (by flying, ranged, etc enemies) and knocked out and splatted on the ground and B) then has to fly back down (wasting their movement and sometimes turn) because the enemies are beneath cover or something else breaking their LoS

[cunning tendon]

man the more i learn about the forgotten realms, the more i learnt of how much elder scrolls literally just took inspiration from them (putting it nicely)

[burnt valley]

It does?

[cunning tendon]

like even up to skyrim with dragonrend

yeah thats just dragonrage

[vagrant quartz]

beeing the flying healer is so broken, i was never in danger and i just kept on healing

[eager marsh]

That's why 2024 added way more random ranged attacks to monster stat blocks

[harsh hollow]

To be fair I think if you completely negate the usefulness of flying it's too far in the other direction, but it shouldn't be a win button either.

[burnt valley]

Make sure you have your resting AC to 19 to make it more difficult for your DM to deal with you

[vagrant quartz]

the fact you can avoid basically all terrain is already broken

[vagrant quartz]

i could just sanctuary / shield of faith + light armor and just chill in the air

[harsh hollow]

Get the guys in R&D together, we're forming the Tall Terrain Division.

[atomic kayak]

tbf to 2014 stuff, around half (I think technically just over) of the published enemies also were capable of hitting flying characters

Either via their own flight, ranged attacks, spells, or other abilities

[harsh hollow]

I think the main anecdote was that for whatever reason the terrasque had no ranged attacks.

[burnt valley]

Checked it was inspired by a dnd campaign

[burnt valley]

How fast can you fly? You could combo this with spirit guardians

[vagrant quartz]

fun fact, i was just using spells to attack, then dm went ahead and gave me a shortbow+1 . i think you can figure out the rest

[minor cargo]

In one of my games, an NPC levitated out of melee to rain down spells. But then ranged attacks took her down to 0, and when she landed, immediately took a failed death save. And since then, I don’t think my party has any interest in flying during combat lol.

[vagrant quartz]

30 feet base movement

[atomic kayak]

you know that breaks sanctuary right?

both spells and the bow

[vagrant quartz]

i know

i could just cast it after i already atkd

[burnt valley]

Good thing it wasn't a PC

[eager marsh]

Cantrips are also better than a +1 weapon after lv5 unless you have Hextra Attack

[vagrant quartz]

then i used my healers kit :)

[atomic kayak]

thats definitely expending a lot of spell slots, but sure

[vagrant quartz]

• the healer feat for even mor disgusting heling

[burnt valley]

He can also just spam cantrips

No need to needlessly expend spell slots

[atomic kayak]

Yes, but re-casting sanctuary after doing that every turn is

[vagrant quartz]

i didnt ofc

[past iron]

So I'm browsing through the pets section in the extras page on my character sheet, and apparently commoner is an option. I have no idea what to say about that.

[atomic kayak]

the pets tab is entirely a ddb fabrication

[vagrant quartz]

i used sanctuary to abuse the healers kit

[atomic kayak]

it just lets you add any statblock for tracking purposes

[vagrant quartz]

since its a "utilize action" which doesnt break sanctuary :D

[atomic kayak]

I mean yes, but its also not very helpful unless your team is down

which I guess admittedly, is more likely to happen if you are doing what you are doing because they are taking even more damage because of you

[vagrant quartz]

yeah, but also, life domain cleric >w>

[past iron]

It's still rather odd.

[vagrant quartz]

it was just me sitting there constantly reviving everyone and taking no damage

[barren kraken]

can you play online?

[remote wadi]

So to recap

[barren kraken]

i love dnd and am on my first playthrough but we barely ever meet up🥀

like once a month if that

[vagrant quartz]

i only play online so yeah absolutely

[remote wadi]

I am down one silver hairbrush from a barter to get another chest to loot

Person that searched got a nat 20, would have apparently been a bag of holding, but decided to roll some more dice instead and make it a potion that resists thunder damage

Which they drank instantly before I could react and store it away

[barren kraken]

oh how

[bronze wave]

This discord has online ones lol

I play 2 online campaigns

[remote wadi]

Tried to cook down some animals that i hunted, but got a nat 1 on survival to burn them all to a crisp
Then a nat 1 on an attack. Then a reaction to make me eat 17 slashing damage. Barely won a fight, tried to carry the body with us for questioning. Got a nat 1 on Athletics, tripped and fell. Took more damage from guards before barely escaping without being reduced to 0 HP

But hey. I can short rest now and heal up. Spend 3 d10s and a +2 com modifer to only get 15 HP (average was 21)
Paladin heals after me with 5d10+10 to get 44 HP

I really really hate how I have to put Alert or Poisoner on hold purely because at this rate, Lucky might as well be mandatory for me

[knotty pasture]

Have you also considered playing a Halfling next time

[remote wadi]

Halflings are not my thing

Besides, that just means that I now get 2s instead of 1s

[lavish flame]

I wish it had functionality

[bronze wave]

I hate short ppl so that’s why I don’t play them

[lavish flame]

I've got a Wizard qith a Familiar and the Extras tab being unable to make rolls for them stinks

[humble cairn]

Workaround is to make up a new "weapon" on your character sheet.

[sleek cloud]

Halflings let you reroll nat ones, not bump it up to 2

[elder pelican]

My last Waterdeep party had a prejudice against the short races

[remote wadi]

And what do you think I would get after nat 1s?

[sleek cloud]

At least for d20 tests

[remote wadi]

Or becoming a halfling?

[glass granite]

For d20 tests I’d say 10-11

[bronze wave]

I’d love to play the most basic dnd character and see how it is. John Baldurgate

[remote wadi]

No, I would start getting 2s

[glass granite]

Never gonna get anywhere with that mindset smh

[remote wadi]

Not just another nat 1, but to get 2s and have it not even matter at the end of the day

[bronze wave]

You’re manifesting it

[remote wadi]

Buddy, do you see what trying to have a positive mindset is getting me?

[sleek cloud]

ah it’s a matter of pessimism, gotcha

[bronze wave]

You gotta believe in Nat20s

[glass granite]

Be confident and the universe will follow. Or laugh at you, but then at least someone’s laughing

[remote wadi]

No, I am just observing the problems. What makes you think I want this to happen?

Yes, it is a game and I'm not that upset at it, but give me a big fat break...

[glass granite]

Probably you saying that rerolling nat ones will somehow get you a Nat 2

[bronze wave]

True, fake it till you make it

[glass granite]

Like look at sleep

[bronze wave]

Or play as a dm, I got 3 nat20’s in a combat once it was fun

[remote wadi]

Because I know how Lady Luck is. It isn't just average unluckiness, it's gotta be the biggest middle finger she can make

[frail oriole]

Looking for a short campaign tonight

[glass granite]

No one can predict Lady Luck. It’s kinda in her nature

[remote wadi]

Well, I can. And it often just is "how much can she screw me over for doing the most logical and benevolent tasks?"

[elder pelican]

Tried that, i rolled so bad a dragon and the necromancer rider rolled so bad on their saves they spend three turns running away from the party

[bronze wave]

Blast breath buddy

[glass granite]

Do you see how that makes it difficult to get anywhere?

[elder pelican]

Rolled under 4

[bronze wave]

Damn L

[simple halo]

Heellloooo

[remote wadi]

It's just ironic. I'm taking the Lucky feat to go from nigh detrimental rolls to possible average

[glass granite]

Lucky is a good feat

Same with having halflings to reroll 1’s

[elder pelican]

Let them have the win, in the previous chapter i threw an invisible adult green dragon

[remote wadi]

I would prefer to get Lucky later on. But with how things are going right now, I hate that I would need to get it so soon

[glass granite]

You don’t need to, Bloodline.

[remote wadi]

And get more nat 1s with no escape... I'd rather not

It's the borderline necessary need, not the mandatory need

[bronze wave]

Beckoning fate smh 😔

[fickle heart]

I'm not superstitious, but now that you're talking about having bad luck, it might get even worse just to prove you right.

FR tho, this is what happens when you play a dice game. Sometimes the dice don't like you for periods of time.

[elder pelican]

Another victim of the Wil Wheaton curse

[knotty pasture]

This is the part where I would grab Enhance Ability and ask someone to give me Guidance

[mild portal]

Fabloo

[remote wadi]

Yeah, I get that. Just annoys me because all of the good rolls were on things that didn't matter as much

[umbral girder]

Triple ones on the dice! Nice! /jk

[remote wadi]

One that I missed, by the way. Managed to cast Ensnaring Strike on the person we were fighting. Annoyingly, not only did he get a nat 1 on the Str save (crit fails double damage die, but 2×0=0)

[fickle heart]

It do be like that at times.

[remote wadi]

But he also proceeded to just break out before anyone was able to benefit from the restraint (3 for 3 on this happening for this campaign btw)

[prisma vector]

I am looking to purchase a phantom wallet with a history of frequent transactions. I am willing to pay 3-4 SOL for a wallet that has been active for at least three months, even if it is empty. If the wallet has a longer history, I am open to negotiating a higher price. Serious offers only.

[knotty pasture]

Sus

[remote wadi]

Like, cooking animals toy hunted earlier? Nat 1, burnt to a crisp
Insight on what type of animal popped up in our camp? Nat 1, could be Strahd's lost evil hellhound for all you know

[glass granite]

Noone else have proficiency to give advantage via Help? Or guidance?

[fickle heart]

For saying you're not very upset, you seem very upset

[knotty pasture]

You should have Enhance Ability as Ranger too

[remote wadi]

Wouldn't really want to use it. Didn't seem to be too important ATM + this was just after a long rest

[knotty pasture]

Huh? Those are free actions

[glass granite]

Indeed

[remote wadi]

Isn't guidance a spell?

[knotty pasture]

Cantrip

[remote wadi]

Ah. Either way, no luck. No one prepared it

[knotty pasture]

Its so bad for some tables that they'd straight up set penalties for casting Guidance in front of a NPC's face when buffing your social skills

[glass granite]

Not even the cleric?

[knotty pasture]

The Cleric not getting Guidance is a sin ngl

[remote wadi]

Cleric didn't show up. Again.

[knotty pasture]

Ah yeah the Cleric that was basically booted off the game

[brave fiber]

Man why are mostly #looking-for-player American

[glass granite]

One of yall should grab magic initiate cleric

[remote wadi]

Still around on the server, but might as well be booted

[glass granite]

Guidance, utility, + smt like guiding bolt or bless

[remote wadi]

So no luck on those checks. But an Animal Handling check to have the druid pet the hellhound? Sure game, 26 it is

[glass granite]

How about Help?

[remote wadi]

Help requires proficiency, if memory serves

[glass granite]

Indeed

[remote wadi]

No proficiency, no help

[stuck shuttle]

It’s where D&D is most popular. Try seeing if you can meet the equivalent time for games held in the Americas.

[brave fiber]

Nah I'm in southeast Asia, most of the time they are either dead in the night or too bright in the morning for me

[remote wadi]

Hard not to be when the luck is sopped up on the (near) pointless rolls like the meme of the 2 guys drinking from a pipe

[remote wadi]

Can't help without a proficiency

[fickle heart]

Honestly, that's nothing in terms of bad luck. I've had moments that blow that out of the water by magnitudes.

[remote wadi]

But yeah. It's a dice game, but I feel like the world is just out to get me all the time

[stuck shuttle]

Games in those timezones still get posted occasionally. Otherwise you can try looking in SEA region D&D/TTRPG communities (e.g. Reddit LFGs, Discod servers

[remote wadi]

This is just one of the many instances in this game I'm playing called life

[brave fiber]

Heh dice, the dice decide if our characters die or not

[remote wadi]

This, statistically speaking, is much smaller than others, but it's the fact that it keeps happening over and over again

[fickle heart]

It's a 1/20 chance, it's pretty common.

[brave fiber]

Personally for me my dice have been really questionable and really perfect and awesome, like when I do something stupid it gives a bad roll, and when I do a good thing it gives me a good roll

[knotty pasture]

Me when I rolled three nat 1s in a roll as a Soulknife to pick a lock on a chest once that turned out to be mostly garbage anyways

[remote wadi]

Then another 1 in 20 after that
Then another from someone else
Then 2 more 1 in 20s for yourself in a way that sucks for you

[fickle heart]

We had a situation where the group rolled three Nat 1's in a row and we had to fight 40 enemies that ended up taking about 30 turns to kill, which was approximately 4 hours of real time.

[humble cairn]

Hello! I'm also in Southeast Asia!

But yeah my reguular game is 3am Monday 🙁

[brave fiber]

Same here pal

[glass granite]

I play in person, so scheduling is better in terms of timezones

Perks of being a DM, you get a group much faster

[brave fiber]

Yeah Americans 😔 NOT THE PEOPLE OR THHE CULTURE OR ANYTHING DON'T CANCEL ME 🙏

[brave fiber]

You looking for players ?

I'll be going back to aus next month

[glass granite]

Unless you can make it to where I live and somehow get my 7 players to accept you, no

[humble cairn]

I moved here from the US, though, so. That's why my game is at such a bad time, it used to be 3pm Sunday.

[tawny gate]

Hello, I am preparing a session for my players. The tl;dr is that there is a dungeon that the BBEG needs to explore and the players are camped up in it, basically a reverse of how it usually is XD
If a Necromancer has a lot of prep time, and needs to assault a dungeon rather than protect it, what sorts of things do you think he would bring with him?

[brave fiber]

[fickle heart]

I'm just saying that complaining about dice luck beyond a "dang, this sucks" is something that does nothing but work you up. Accomplishes nothing and legitimately makes you feel worse about something you have no control over.

[brave fiber]

500 MINI SKELTONS

[glass granite]

Actually...very good strategy

[daring pecan]

wish i could find a game for tonight sadly no luck

[glass granite]

That's 500 bodies that can snuff out/face tank traps, and 500 beings in action economy to absolutely SHRED anything

[woven flint]

Boneclaws.

Those things are MENACES

They're melee enemies with the ability to teleport and drag along anyone they have grappled

They're also sentient and intelligent undead

[stuck shuttle]

How long have you been looking? Finding a game same day is hard to do

[brave fiber]

Boneclaws or demons spawn

[woven flint]

Boneclaws.

[brave fiber]

Bro they sound like they're gonna drag you down to hell 😭

[woven flint]

Any truly Evil Necromancer would have a Boneclaw servant
They actively seek out the most evil presence in the area to serve

They're also people who tried to become liches but failed

[glass granite]

I've got a bone to pick with those

[brave fiber]

Is that skeleton Minecraft musical song reference

"I've got a bone to pick with you"

[glass granite]

Though ig it might just be a skull issue on my part
and no I just like dad jokes

[brave fiber]

💀 issue

Hehehehehe I feel like a giant orge laughing at this

[woven flint]

Hell, if you're a Big Bad Evil Necromancer trying to storm an area, bust out the big guns, Boneclaws, Death Knights, Skeleton Lords

[brave fiber]

okay there bud we get it

I'll rage quit if I see 3 skeletons lord

[glass granite]

One does not get the title as Lord of Goofy for having restraint

[woven flint]

I'm just telling them the types of undead that'd be best for a Seige smh

Oooog, bring Phylaskia, they're Skeleton Knights that have a Strength draining touch and an Aura that gives disadvantage on saving throws and halves speed

Goooood morning afternoon evening, wahzzup!

do you know where i can find people to play with?

[glass granite]

Roll20, reddit, dnd beyond forums, or via this server (look at #find-a-game )

Or in person via local games stores or libraries

[astral compass]

aight thanks

[woven flint]

Storm Giant Skeleton could also be fun

[barren kraken]

how do i join a online campaign

[woven flint]

Screw it, have your Necromancer BBEG storm them with a Dracolich!

Hell, just have them summon Orcus!
He can summon Infinite Liches!

[lost moon]

What's the best way to find a group of players or game that is PBP (text base) like in a discord group? Looking-For-Community seems to be a dead end for me unless I should make a post specifically? Maybe I just overlooked something

[woven flint]

Okay, I'm done now, I promise lmao

[woven flint]

Alas, I can't become an Undead

[remote wadi]

The only 2 things to mention is that it's more akin to it happening over and over again to make each "dang, this sucks" louder than the previous one (especially because you haven't exactly seem the figurative karma balance tip back in your favor

[whole trail]

Absolutely random question; would eating a lycanthrope be cannibalism?

[remote wadi]

The other bit is that I am fully aware of feeling worse about something you have no control over. Just sucks when your escapism also decides to join in

[hot reef]

It’s a cursed humanoid, yes

[fickle heart]

How long of a pattern was this? A single session?

I ask because I think it might be worthwhile to develop cognitive patterns that don't end up enabling reverse survivorship bias.

[lapis onyx]

Hello folks

[keen kestrel]

Hello

[mighty crest]

Yo

[glass granite]

Wahzzup

[keen kestrel]

Why can’t I find chicken nuggets in dnd

[glass granite]

Just make them yourself

[keen kestrel]

Too bad my pc doesn’t know what chicken nuggets are

[cinder temple]

i am a fighter 5 / monk 5 on a campaign i am in. Am i legally allowed to use a blunderbuss as a Kensei weapon? Like, even for giggles?

[glass granite]

Gun monks are a thing

I encourage it

[limber trail]

Hello, Gun Monk here! 100% works. You'll want to check with your DM to make sure it works with the setting but yeah it fully works

[cinder temple]

:D

my other subclass is a Samurai

[empty thicket]

im trying to think how a monk would use guns tho, isnt easy

[knotty pasture]

Hold and fire, aim down sights to increase accuracy

[glass granite]

Picks it up
Points it
Pulls the trigger

If they can master the art of punching 5 times in a turn, they can master this

[empty thicket]

oh.... i expected something else more flashy or whatever

[remote wadi]

For this campaign? 6 sessions

For the game of life? Long enough to know Lady Luck hates me

[keen kestrel]

Doesn’t have to be flashy to get the job done, maybe they learned to wield guns in order to protect their temple, or hunt for threats

[knotty pasture]

Put on a barrel mod to decrease muzzle flash!

[fickle heart]

Perhaps games of chance aren't for you

[empty thicket]

no but i mean, when i heard a class with guns
I kinda imagine it like Killing floor 2 that a whole line of guns is for a class
Aka,
Fighter would use 2 pistols, fast, lethal and powerful
Ranger would be the sniper of the team
Paladin would be the one using heavy guns, machine guns for example
Artificer we can all agree, explosives
etc. etc.

Maybe give figther any gun and give the pistols to rouge

[knotty pasture]

I see Rogues as more of a sniper rifle type

Maybe sniper rifle + silenced pistol?

[empty thicket]

silenced pistol and knife for backstab, like the spy from TF2

[knotty pasture]

Silenced Pistol unlock for Spy when

[fast latch]

Would Mounted Combatant work if you were a Small race riding a Medium friend?

Because I have an idea for an NPC duo

[fresh bloom]

I found some interesting old D&D illustrations and wanted to send them and talk about them. Which chat should I use?

[vagrant quartz]

Just make npc number 2 a centaur, problem solved

[hushed mason]

I swear we already had this conversation today.

Or something akin to it.

[humble cairn]

Up to your DM whether or not that works, so ask them.
Halfling: "And this is my trusty steed, Bob! Say hello, Bob!"
Human: long sigh "Hi, Bob ..."
Halfling: "Haaaaa! Cracks me up every time."
Human: adjusts the straps on the backpack/saddle

[molten pumice]

Afaik the only image channels are for art you made in some way, but if you're discussing official dnd art you can probably show it in #merch-and-dice and then link the message here to discuss what you're showing off.

[keen pagoda]

this might be a really dumb question but approximately how long would a session of dnd usually be

[bronze wave]

2-4 hours but ive seen 1 hours and 8 hours t

[glass granite]

a few hours, mine last 4, i know some take a bit more or less

[molten pumice]

If you're making an npc their setup can really be some of anything. Put it as a trait of theirs that they get advantage while riding their pal.

[hushed mason]

There is a lot of variation, but 2-5 hours likely encompasses most groups.

[empty thicket]

something between 2 to 5, depend of how you make each section of that session

If it is retaking a long mission, if its being just exploring an area, etc. etc.

[bronze wave]

I think my average is 3 hours pushing 4

[glass granite]

My average is 3.5-4

Tried 5 hours once, never again

[keen pagoda]

Thanks guys I’m just trying to see if I got time to like actually play dnd before I attempt to get into anything I think I should

[hushed mason]

There are also people that play during their lunch break at school, so their sessions would be <60 minutes.

[glass granite]

I did that, actually, and I will say:
it sucks compared to sessions

At least for me

[keen pagoda]

last time I played it would always start 10 and end like 3am-5am usually which was terrible for my sleep and school

[bronze wave]

I had a session start at 8pm and end at 3am

Never again

[empty thicket]

almost same, i have sessions that start 7 am and end around 11am//12

sometimes 8 am and end up 1pm

[rough shore]

could a college of glamour bard theoretically be a heavy metal rock star?

fair

imagine a noise marine from warhammer in dnd

[empty thicket]

If you want, welp, can flavor a weapon like an instrument too like Marceline from adventure time had an Axe bass

The last Death stranding had a boss that use an electric guitar like and axe too, so, go wild

[strong wave]

Isn't there only one death stranding

[orchid socket]

how do i make my campaign longer

Like session wise

[keen kestrel]

Encourage your players to just talk, usually that kills lots of time

[empty thicket]

3 now,
the 1
Autor version

[keen kestrel]

Like we’ll banter in character for an hour without noticing

[orchid socket]

Tips for new dm

[empty thicket]

Always plan in the failure of your party, be ready for the dice being all the time 1 or not enough.
Inactivate them to roleplay and teamwork
Finally, its a constant learning, testing and improvement, can ask them after every session to leave an honest opinion about the session.
Not holding back, might be harsh but its one of the ways to improve

[orchid socket]

hmmm

[bronze wave]

Confidence is key, always be learning and adapting, go with the flow, be ready for your party to fail but want them to win

You should want your party to win even if when you play it’s not like that

[orchid socket]

how long should a fight often take

[woven flint]

Hmmm, glomp

[bronze wave]

Depends on the fight but they can be long. I’d say just make sure all the players aren’t just wasting time or doing nothing

[rotund lagoon]

Hi All!!! I'm about to play CoS for the first time (with 2024 rules). I really love the idea of playing a Gloomstalker x Assassin. Do you have any suggestions for a level 10 build? Do you think this will work well? Or should I try and add something with radient damage instead?

[bronze wave]

I’d just go with the build you want cheesy I know but if you like it I think any build can be good.

Radiant is nice but I don’t think it’s 100% needed yk?

I’m in a campaign for CoS we have 4 long range fighters lol and we mange just fine

The real part of being a good char is playing smart with the hand you’ve been dealt

[empty thicket]

Depend of what you want to put them
A short fight wont should take more than 6 rounds
A long fight 7 to 15
More than that is too much for me

[keen kestrel]

Radiant is only great against zombies, but otherwise you'll do fine in it

[bronze wave]

And teamwork

Good teamwork unironically triumphs all.

[keen kestrel]

I'd say just play what you like to play, but it's up to you

[bronze wave]

The strongest magic in dnd is the power of friendship shit can lead to crazy dmg

[keen kestrel]

You mean twin casting haste on a fighter and paladin?

[bronze wave]

Sure

[rotund lagoon]

Yeah, teamwork is always important. I just want to build something super cool and effective 😅 I have a tendancy to pick things that are great, just not for that campaign

[keen kestrel]

I'm joking, I've done that before and it was glorious

[empty thicket]

.... A fighter can have 2 hastes on him!?

[stoic haven]

No sadly

[empty thicket]

Oh...

[stoic haven]

2 separate characters

[bronze wave]

I think assassin and gloom has solid synergy. I’m going fighter BM ranger gloom and if we get to lvl11 I’d add in rogue assassin

[keen kestrel]

no, I just meant that you can have haste on two folks at once if you twin cast it in 2014 rules

[bronze wave]

Otherwise I’d go 6/4 fighter gloom

[stoic haven]

Oh yea?

[empty thicket]

if the character that is in conc break it, it would be a giga bad thign

[rotund lagoon]

I was thinking, 5 ranger, three assasin, two fighter for second wind and action surge, so round one I can do a stupid amount of attacks

[keen kestrel]

yes, which is why I then flew about 100 feet into the air and left the fight xD

[empty thicket]

mmmm.... too risky tho

[keen kestrel]

eh, they had no ranged characters and I had free flight and warcasters

[bronze wave]

Sounds good to me

[keen kestrel]

I'm in a CoS with a gloomstalker, the new one is kind of fun

[rotund lagoon]

Only thing is, then I miss out on a ft as we're only going to level 10 - would it be better to do five x five?

[keen kestrel]

I did warn him to avoid me when he's trying to go invisible though

[stable tiger]

I wanna join a game and stuff

How do I do that

[rough shore]

what if i have 2 daggers?

[keen kestrel]

I'm bad to ask, I usually don't multiclass too much since I like getting all the features a class has to offer

[rough shore]

do i write the profile down twice?

[keen kestrel]

do you mean like having both on your sheet?

[rough shore]

yeah

[keen kestrel]

I would say if you want to split just rogue/ranger, do 6 ranger/4 rogue, that way you get the extra movement and an extra feat (sharpshooter is fine, though I'd prob recommend mage slayer for CoS)

[keen kestrel]

Are you doing your character sheet online or in person

[rough shore]

in person

[rotund lagoon]

Thank you, that's super helpful

I was being indecisive so appreciate it

[keen kestrel]

honestly, Idk what your stat spread looks like, but try to get to 18 dex minimum at level 8, if not 20

[charred lance]

what would u say is the most complex dnd game (system and depth wise)

[keen kestrel]

I'd say just indicate that you have two daggers in the section of items, and make sure your dm knows you're intending to dual wield

[keen kestrel]

like other ttrpgs? or just the most complex module of dnd

[rough shore]

ok

[charred lance]

dnd it self

[stable tiger]

It won't let me find a game in find a game

Can someone help

[rough shore]

so i write 2 daggers and just use the weapon profile twice when i attack?

[keen kestrel]

uh, never really dm'ed, so I'd probably say like one of the ones that has unique mechanics are complicated mobs

[keen kestrel]

there's a weird system where offhand attacks are different than main hand

[charred lance]

"a complex dnd system woudl probably be one with complex mechanics" lmao

has any dnd campaign ever developed an economic system

[rough shore]

or as a backup for if i throw

[jovial shadow]

Just looking through the thread. Monks can use guns or any weapon besides those requested by their traits. They just don't get proficiency with them.

[stable tiger]

Please can someone help me

[charred lance]

with whats

[keen kestrel]

like Curse of Strahd can be complex, but mostly because there's a ton of different things you have to track for players, and they'll face grueling days

[charred lance]

isnt that the fun part

[stable tiger]

I wanna play smthn but nothing works

[keen kestrel]

that's fine yeah, you can always just plan to wield one dagger then have some more in your bag to chuck at folks

[charred lance]

elaborate

[stable tiger]

Find a game doesn't work

[rough shore]

and i can always buy or steal another

[stable tiger]

My friends r basically dead when it comes to social life

[keen kestrel]

I do like a bit of action, but CoS def tests your mental fortitude when you go through multiple fights a day and then miss your long rest

[keen kestrel]

You can always just pick the ones you threw back up

[charred lance]

as in the channel isnt working ?

[stable tiger]

Yeah

[charred lance]

lemme check it one sec

[stable tiger]

It even kicks me out in five seconds

[charred lance]

#looking-for-dm

check this out

[stable tiger]

Thats what I tried to do in the five seconds it gave me

[charred lance]

and?

[stable tiger]

Omg thank u

[charred lance]

amazing have a great day

If a feature says the next spell automatically triggers a surge then you do not roll the d20 and you don’t get a second surge

Whoever sent that question and deleted it when i wrote my answer

[pliant crow]

hi, can i ask something as noob? @w@

[cerulean trellis]

Why are dnd packs priced worse than most sims 4 dlc

[pliant crow]

I've never used warlock before but... after playing bg3... it feels i don't know... a little bit basic and one note? I feel like it just wants to spam eldritch blast (and hex inbetween). How do you properly play warlock? I literally don't know much about how it works so I'd like to hear how they get a lot of their value from

that and why are they full casters when they get like... 1 spell only at the start and like 2 for a lot of their early game?

[empty thicket]

Okey, fast explaining
Warlock is the cheater of Casters
While other casters must use spell slots and can upcast stuff the warlock upcast (use the strongest version of the spell) for free

[cerulean trellis]

So why nut go warlock over wizard

[empty thicket]

And if we have to add that warlock can get:
A weapon that scale with his charisma
The patron that can give him some spells too and even a lot of features

[pliant crow]

but that's only 1-3 usages of said upcasted spell. what if i want to make people fly or cast haste? that and im sure counterspelling someone would eat those precious charges

[empty thicket]

Flexibility and power
each caster is in his own way something
Warlock is fire power
Wizard is variety in spells
Sorc adapt the spells to his needs
Druid can shapeshift most of time and use nature powers
Arti is an engineer

[cerulean trellis]

so is princess bubblegum an artificer

[pliant crow]

im guessing then that i should drop counterspell on warlock? :v

[empty thicket]

Nope, she is a whole scientist. Different layer

[cerulean trellis]

actually no

[empty thicket]

She is sci fi
An arti is fantasy

[cerulean trellis]

evergeen is artificer

[pliant crow]

cuz a sorc can cast like 6 different spells if not more compared to a warlock's 3. unless i'm underestimating the value of those 3 spell slots? @w@

also i know they're recoverable by short rest but you kinda can't short rest mid battle... ^^:

[empty thicket]

yes, the warlock is casting those 3 spells in their highest power and something important to remark, warlock get them back between short rests
While other casts get most spells slots between LONG rests

[pliant crow]

so they're meant to be bursty

[empty thicket]

true, but still, considerate you have eldritch blast, cantrips, etc. You will have to use your spells with precision and in their moment

[pliant crow]

btw i'm sorry, i'm just really trying to understand warlock, but i feel my value using them isn't as high as i can make it due to my noobiness @w@

[empty thicket]

sorry for what? dont be harsh with yourself, im not angry for explaining like i was explained before

Think that while at lvl 11 you get 3 spells slots, you can cast them at lvl 5

[pliant crow]

don't sorcs also get that many but also have like 11 lower level spells as backup?

[lavish flame]

Personally I've always felt that Warlock plays like a magic Fighter. You do best when your group takes plentiful Short Rests

[pliant crow]

that or I probably just need to get used to how little spells they have... @w@

or i should stop treating them as a full caster

they feel REALLY weird to the other casters, cuz everyone of them has so many spells

[empty thicket]

so, lets say a witch bolt that is lvl 1, 1d12lighting at first +1d12 damage per turn
If you upcast it to lvl 5 your witch bolt would be dealing at first 5d12 at first, in best scenario, 60 damage + 1d12 per turn.

[lavish flame]

You aren't really a primary caster, like you just don't have the slots to even try that. You mostly do potent burst attacks and long lasting spells

[pliant crow]

ok, i think i know how to approach warlock now

[bronze wave]

Warlocks are burst chars. Spam that short rest

[pliant crow]

i should stop treating them as primary casters and more like idk... a 3.0 paladin :v

[empty thicket]

yep, that is why at first i told you, they are the Cheaters from caster classes

[pliant crow]

cuz paladins in the extremely old days get their lvl2 spells at lvl 10... XD

[lavish flame]

And Ritual spells. You can do Ritual spells as a warlock

make Ritual spells your [expletive] as a Warlock

[pliant crow]

i thought i needed pact of the tome for rituals? and an invoc. correct me if i'm wrong, im just going off the top of my head on what i think i rememebr from bg3 @w@

[lavish flame]

Oh i'm thinking 2024 where anyone can Ritual

[pliant crow]

while i was trying to figure wyll out

so technically it might not be a really good idea to be my group's only arcane caster if we don't have one yet?

[empty thicket]

You are still a caster, that is something to think. Better than having none it is.
Each caster is good in their own way

[lavish flame]

I believe you need Pact of the Tome or the Ritual Caster feat to do Rituals in 2014 Warlock

[pliant crow]

wait, so we CAN on 2024 warlock? @w@

24 warlocks can ritualcast on base without the need for pacts and invocs?

[lavish flame]

ye cuz Rituals got opened up to all spellcasters

[pliant crow]

is that also true for half casters? paladins, rangers, artificers? ^^;

[empty thicket]

oh true, i have a curiosity, Ceremony was removed in 2024?

[lavish flame]

ye

you just need to be able to cast spells

[pliant crow]

oh blessed be! i was about to say it feels like that's such a steep price to pay if a warlock wants to just cast ritual spells

[lavish flame]

so like even Eldritch Knights and Arcane Tricksters can Ritual cast

[pliant crow]

but i guess that sucks on 2014 games... cuz iirc bg3 is using 2014 rules?

as well as solasta 1?

[lavish flame]

wasn't reprinted, but its not removed

like its a Xanathar's spell so u can grab in both 2014 and 2024

[empty thicket]

oh, so still exist? okey okey, it concerned me that i couldnt find it in any spell list in 2024

[pliant crow]

iirc identify is a ritual, right? is it? @w@
so that means at least i can be an identifier if i'm a warlock all without spending my precious 2 spells lol

[lavish flame]

yknow, it just occured to me I don't know how DDB handles that. Like Ashardalon's Stride from Fizban's wasn't reprinted, so how does DDB know that my 2024 Wizard can grab it despite not being on the 2024 Wizard list

[charred lance]

should be there for clerics and paladins

[pliant crow]

at least in 2024 rules.
so ideally the spells i pick up are ones that scales on upcast, like fireball? and i should avoid spells i ideally should spam like shield or counterspell?

[lavish flame]

yeah u can Ritual identify

[pliant crow]

perfeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeect ❤️

[lavish flame]

I was able to Magic Initiate (Cleric) to grab Ceremony on a 2024 Fighter

[empty thicket]

nope, still checking the both lists and even the whole spells thing

[charred lance]

let me check my self

[empty thicket]

Weird because its a good spell in general, kinda not cheap but good

[lavish flame]

I love the RP flair of having 2 characters be married by the Ceremony spell

[empty thicket]

i like the idea of a whole poly group only for the +2ac for 2 weeks//1 month
If the party is of 4 i think you could get the buff up for like 12 months or 16

[lavish flame]

oh with like different variations of pairings

4 factorial or something idk

[charred lance]

pretty srue it only lasts for 24 hours

"You touch adult humanoids willing to be bonded together in marriage. For the next 24 hours, each target gains a +2 bonus to AC and saving throws while they are within 30 feet of each other. A creature can benefit from this ceremony just once."

[lavish flame]

the marriage is normally a week long buff iirc

oh damn nvm

[woven flint]

The divorce strat

[lavish flame]

wait what, this isn't the spell text?

[lusty matrix]

Alright. I have a question for you folks.

Tyrant Shadow and its ability to see creatures with Telepathy. Would a Ring of Mind Shielding block its ability to see the person wearing the ring?

[charred lance]

can only do it once

[empty thicket]

Ceremony:
"Wedding. You touch adult humanoids willing to be bonded together in marriage. For the next 7 days, each target gains a +2 bonus to AC while they are within 30 feet of each other. A creature can benefit from this rite again only if widowed."

[lavish flame]

Wedding. You touch adult humanoids willing to be bonded together in marriage. For the next 7 days, each target gains a +2 bonus to AC while they are within 30 feet of each other. A creature can benefit from this rite again only if widowed.

[charred lance]

uh what

[lavish flame]

two schools of quoting on discord

[empty thicket]

meh, 1 week, 2 or 1 month, doesnt matter, congrats to the couple!!

[woven flint]

Easy, kill them then revivify them, you technically get widowed

[charred lance]

oh why is it diffrent on the wiki

[pliant crow]

wasn't there an exploit with ceremony and zealot barbarians? one that involved intentionally killing the zealot barb? XD

[empty thicket]

yep, still a strat unless the DM add a counter to it

[lavish flame]

Zealot Barbs get resurrected for free so killing them is no sweat for a group

[charred lance]

+2 AC isn't worth dying at this point; just die in battle and get resurrected

[empty thicket]

and +2ac is gamechanging lot of times

[lavish flame]

well, besides the whole process of murdering your tank in cold blood

[woven flint]

I'd do it

[charred lance]

ofc u would

[empty thicket]

Yeah.... it have too much hp, at that point add the option that if the target let himself or is too forced can be instantkilled

[charred lance]

idk i personally dont enjoy exploits

[woven flint]

I wouldn't actually, I just take the hits like a chad!!!!

[lavish flame]

same

[empty thicket]

if not an execution by axe would be seeing the axe bounce in the neck of teh barbarian

[woven flint]

Me either, I was jesting lmao

[empty thicket]

10 minutes hitting him while he is in rage until he die

[lavish flame]

I've had players try some real nonsense. Simulacrum stacking, how I loathe you

[empty thicket]

25gp that between a party would be like 5 or 8 gp per for a +2ac

more if your party is getting ready for a long mission
too mixmaxer honestly

[woven flint]

I like how people are like
"Rage isn't realistic" but then they don't realized the heightened states of emotion can numb certain feelings and hence why rage reduces damage

[pliant crow]

unrelated topic guys, but i've always wanted to build a heavy armor wizard who isn't afraid to dip into melee once in a while. is it at all viable to run something like fighter 2, abjurer x? or would something like that have complications? @w@

[woven flint]

Heavy armor?
On my wizard?!
I'd rather die smh.

[lavish flame]

highkey I'd just be a Bladesinger and pray for Elven Chain (Chain Mail) at some point

[woven flint]

If the class doesn't use armor I'm not multiclassing just for armor personally

[empty thicket]

People forget that a person with adrenaline can literally break his limits, obviously after getting the consequence of it.
IF a woman did before lifted a bit a car so his sons could get out before things got bad
Imagine a 2mts tall barbarian with muscles on the muscles

[woven flint]

But, yes, that sounds like the easiest play!

[lavish flame]

yeah, just doesn't seem worth it when most classes have some kind of AC bonus anyways

like Barkskin and Mage Armor are a good AC offset for not having armor

[empty thicket]

yeah, there is Eldritch knight that is a fighter with spells
Some casters get Mage armor, can get feats that let you use heavy armors too

[charred lance]

question, imagine the player casta a wall of force then uses a spell like create water to fill it up with water, can u just drown people this way?

[chilly snow]

Does cleave add prof modifier from GWM as well as rage damage for the barbarian according to dnd 2024 rules?

[empty thicket]

Yes, but depend of the DM. Strats like that arent something a dm would like to see or maybe yes for creativity. Can add electricity to the recipe so its more lethal too

[keen plaza]

Hello👋

[empty thicket]

Hi there

[woven flint]

It'd take a while.

An enemy can go a few minutes equal to their con mod so ..

[charred lance]

even better

[pliant crow]

yeah but eldritch knight doesn't have as many spells... ^^;

[charred lance]

just watch ur enemies slowly beg for their lives

[pliant crow]

and it's a lot more leaning to hitting things with a sharp metal stick

[woven flint]

Notably, Wall of force doesn't Las an insanely long time

[pliant crow]

i wanna fry things with 100000000000000 volts

[oak shoal]

Genuinely what are you fighting at level 20 that could possibly be a challenge

[keen plaza]

So if I just bought one of the starter box things should I focus on the character sheet first?

[charred lance]

archdevil that controls layers of the multiverse

[oak shoal]

Wizard cast wish and now he does

[pliant crow]

i fought a balor once with my good aligned cleric.
my cleric called it a bottom. :v

[oak shoal]

Also enjoy your 10000 temp hit points from the cleric

[charred lance]

another party of a similar level but from a rival nation, both of you fighting for control

[oak shoal]

Tempest cleric my friend

[pliant crow]

he tried to incinerate me with delayed fireball blast and i just casually casted otiluke's resilient sphere on the fireball (cuz peace cleric)

i have never seen a more insulted balor in my life, and i can't believe i got away with taunting one like that XD

[woven flint]

My War Cleric was a beastly tank, he only got downed twice in his short career

[charred lance]

i wish you could somehow implement real time battles to dnd

[pliant crow]

wasn't that bg1-2 and iwd 1-2

and the neverwinter nights games?

though.... those are like.... 2e, 3e and 3.5e... XD

[charred lance]

ye but like actually on the table

[empty thicket]

high number of enemies, entities so powerfull
I think that a 4 members party lvl 20 can literally be war changing
1 figther
1 cleric
1 wizard
1 ranger
Can literally turn upside down a whole war at lvl 20

At that point, any wizard spell can whipe hordes of enemies
The ranger can kill anything at any distance with precision
The fighter stand his ground against any number of enemies taht try to get closer to the party
the cleric maintain them alive and protect from other spells

[knotty pasture]

Avatar of a god, archdevils

[torpid sinew]

How do I find a DM for a group, our dm bailed last minute on session 0. Didn't even start yet bru

[bronze wave]

Prob just need to find new group ngl. That is kinda funny ngl

Like did he block all of you lmfao 😭

[jovial shadow]

It depends on the DM. If it is a good DM even CR 17 monsters can be a challenge, without homebrewing.

[torpid sinew]

He gave an unreasonable time then just never responded 😭

[bronze wave]

Can you still respond to him and shit lol? Like has anyone dmd hin

[torpid sinew]

But it was a really cool system so we really wanted to play it

[torpid sinew]

Yes, he just ghosted everyone

[lavish flame]

deities and demigods

[warm summit]

I need a group of players for my campaign but it ain't 5e 🚬

Quicker and easier to learn though

[balmy latch]

Is there any good online dnd , or dnd -like games like on mobile or website or anything

Apart from like baldurs gate ig

[warm summit]

Honestly the closest I've come to a ttrpg experience with friends in a videogame is lethal company

[balmy latch]

Cool not exactly what I was thinking but I’ll take it into consideration

I’m new to dnd and getting my friends into it has been a bit tough since I have to DM and I’m not expirienced myself so sometimes it’s a bit slow and my friends get bored so I’ve been trying to find an online alternative if some kind

[torpid sinew]

Oh, is it paid?

[lavish flame]

I think Baldur's Gate 1, 2, and 3 have what you want (BG1 and 2 are in AD&D2e, BG3 is a 5e game).
There was some old Icewind Dale games. Planescape: Torment is widely considered one of the greatest RPGs of all time.

[warm summit]

If you wanna? But nah I'm not charging

[torpid sinew]

I'm broke😭 if someone took my account, they'd be taking my debt

[warm summit]

That's fine! I don't believe in charging for games

[glass granite]

Hi broke, I’m Nugget

[torpid sinew]

Nice to meet you, nugget

[outer escarp]

i had a question about 2024 wizards it says on google that at lvl 3 they get 2 additional spells from subclass so getting +4 spells that lvl is that true or is that something specific subclasses have?

[torpid sinew]

Then can I join?

[glass granite]

When you get the subclass, it’ll give you specific spells

[warm summit]

Yeah! How many of y'all are there

[outer escarp]

so like expended spell list?

[hot marlin]

I've been thinking... Slow fall, you take the reaction "when you fall" to reduce damage from the fall. But what if you're high enough that your fall takes multiple rounds? Does it have to be the reaction of the last round of your fall, or can you use your reaction on the first turn of your fall and then just have fun and do anything else with your reaction for the six turns that will follow?

[glass granite]

They give you spells that don’t count to your total prepared spell list, so yes

[glass granite]

I imagine it’s at any stage during the fall

Which will last till you stop falling

[hot marlin]

Now to incorporate this into my tactics...

[glass granite]

Granted, idk if that’s how I’d rule it

But none of my players are monks sooo

Don’t gotta worry about it

[safe patio]

hello!

[hot marlin]

Nope, no way. I mean... Unless I could get myself, the entire party, and every foe to fall from a cloud giant's cloud, leading to the entire fight taking place while falling.

[lavish flame]

Yes. For levelling up as a wizard, you get 2 spells from the Wizard list.

For getting your subclass (and some other levels thereafter), you get to add 2 [Relevant School] Wizard spells to your repertoire.

I'm currently playing an Evoker, at level 3 I grabbed Invisibility and Misty Step for being a level 3 Wizard. Per my Evocation Savant feature, I also grabbed Melf's Acid Arrow and Scorching Ray.

[outer escarp]

oh so how does that work for bladesinging do i get like 2 evocation spells? cuz i was looking around but found nothing much about it really except that they just get 2 extra

[torpid sinew]

3 rn

[lavish flame]

Bladesingers don't get a feature letting them do that

Instead, they get Bladesong and Training in War and Song

so you'd just get the 2 spells for levelling up as a wizard

[outer escarp]

mhm so not all subclasses get it?

i understand mhm mhm

[lavish flame]

Abjurer, Evoker, Diviner, and Illusionist are the only ones that have that kind of feature

it replaced their "copy [School] spells cheaper" feature

[hot marlin]

Found an idea: Lure the enemies to the world's highest bridge! In real life, the world's highest bridge is the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge, 2000 feet above the river. Break the bridge during combat, you have four rounds until everyone hits the ground. Four rounds of free falling combat, which is cool

[knotty pasture]

Solasta, but its single player like bg3

[fickle wolf]

Haii

[white oasis]

haiiiiiii
