I was in a similar situation in my first campaign. Amazing setting and worldbuilding, although brutally difficult. But the guy was racist.

he has to be the 2nd funniest thing ive ever read in dnd lore while its upper body is wiry and bears a hideous face more spider than drow, complete with fanged mandibles.

Yeah mine was exactly like that too. Except he was racist.

# gray garden like in game or

Well not much in-game since the game tool place in hell and most of the NPC's were demons. But he did make racist jokes both in sessions and outside of them when we just hung out.

He also dislikes Christians. I'm Christian.

Not to mention all the times he was being just flat out racist. Just telling us that he doesn't like other races.

I was very anti religious in my twenties but I've found it better to be respectful of people's religious beliefs as it's just one aspect of them as a person; and it closes a lot of doors of people I could meet who are very interesting good people. They have plenty of other aspects I can relate to them on even if we have different views on religion.

Is there ways to design a encounter where a guy just hits and does damage without feeling boring? ;/

# livid slate Hm?

interesting terrain can make for interesting combat where you have to think carefully and strategically about what you'll do in your turn, instead of just "I poke him with my sword."

i ran an encounter with 3 hill giants the other day, they had names and personality and objectives and when my party realized they were up to stuff it became a battle. Banter in charicter Grappeling the druid and draging him through his own spike growth, Throwing fire beetles

minor cargo
#

Yeah, do you mean design an encounter where the enemy is a guy that just hits? Or do you mean that's what you're playing? Or...?

crimson gulch
#

the preformance i put on carried it, it was a very simple fight mechanicaly

livid slate
#

Cause like just giving them hit (like a paladin or fighter as an enemy) feels boring but so many spellcasters as enemies is repetitive.

severe rampart

# livid slate .... Really?...

Yeah I once thought complex statblocks were the way but its more about context and how you make the creature behave that’s most compelling to players

livid slate

And I Mean like a boss

livid slate

#

am I allowed to ask roll20 mechanical related questions? I'm confused on how to do something

minor cargo
#

Gotcha, gotcha.

Yeah, to echo the above, terrain can really change it. The "flavour" of the combat can also go really far, like Urizt is saying.

Some other things that can help:

  • Different and/or multiple objectives.
  • Waves of additional enemies. You can also use enemies that change the tide of combat (e.g. some may heal, some may "explode" on death and could hurt the boss, etc.)
  • Timers
  • Weather
livid slate
#

Also I thought of an idea but idk if it's bad, like make the boss do a bunch of damage at first to instill fear and fake the interesting concept?

no, players need situational awareness. and the ones that THINK they are optimizing hard on their sheets die the most frequently

flat steeple
# livid slate Nice idea thank you

You don’t have to do that by the way, it all depends on the party. If they have fun with fighting one dude that punches hard for 20 sessions inna row and you enjoy it too then do that. There's no wrong way to enjoy any game as long as everyone has fun

livid slate
#

Also does anyone have a table of like average health for a boss at every level? I'm having hard times not making them nor oneshot or too tanky (it's horrifying how much damage some classes can do.)

livid slate

I was just wondering if I scrap the idea or not

limber trail

#

There might be a table out there, but I definitely just eyeball it. After playing a bit, you kind of know what your players' damage output will be on average and then you can use that to extrapolate how much HP a boss needs to last N number of rounds.

livid slate

I think it depends on a lot of things. 3 rounds might be perfect for one fight, but for others it might feel like a slog and might even feel too fast for other groups, too.

there was like 7 rounds

7 rouds is an epic boss fight for me for sure

#

So its fine for the boss to attack only a few times?

flat steeple
limber trail
#

Look at it this way, a boss could take 7 rounds to kill you and you take 6 rounds to kill it. Alternatively, you could design that boss so it takes 3 rounds to kill them. What do you do then? You kick the damage up and it takes three and a half rounds to kill you, but now because it's much closer, the dice have a lot more impact.

# hidden spindle "Don't split up the party."

You see this ends happening whether you like it or not.

Jokes on me, rest of my party still got trapped in a seperate room that Bascially became a stomach with digestive acids

But I do want to ask before I do go

#

Should I ask them this following question?

"If you don't want to help with spells or continue at night because of how vital it is for me, what do you intend to do?"

Eh, I would just ask what their ideas are and ask if they can help empower yours as well

Hey, it is frustrating me that we aren't taking my homebrew abilities into account when planning for this, I have significantly more power than most PCs when it's dark. Could we try this one at night?

I'm trying to say that didn't work

They are completely against doing this at night

I wanted to ask them what they intend to do because of this, as I likely will nit be able to fight safely

Is Owlbear 3.5e-friendly?

Do you think someone that has set up a business like this on patreon is the kind of person that would offer refunds?

Idk does patreon not force refunds in a scenario like this?

Perhaps.

if you have ideas for strategy (but not micromanaging what the other characters will do or what spells they should prepare), suggest them as an option. Let the group give feedback and alternate suggestions. then maybe the group should vote on what to do. Rather than fruitless arguing.

Just because a strategy you envision benefits in a few ways, it may hinder others more. It's a team game. Play as a team.

I will also say that if you've caused a rift in the party, the rest of the party is potentially even less likely to immediately listen to ideas, because they might now expect ulterior motives behind suggestions or assume that the perception of problems only goes one way. Probably the absolute first thing to do is lay all of your cards on the table, or at least the ones that are limited to you.

  • "I am not having fun, and I want to work with the group to see how I can fix that" is something that goes a really long way.
  • "I am not having fun, and I want the group to do [thing] so I can have fun" has its validity entirely based in what the actual thing being requested is.
    • "I want the group to stop taking actions that are directly harmful to me" is totally valid.
    • "I want the group to stop taking actions that are indirectly harmful to me, but reasonable for them to take, and causing game-state situations I don't like" is much more difficult to determine the validity of.
    • "I want the group to take actions according to my plan, because my plan is the best" is almost inherently invalid as a concern, and that desire would be better served by a more solo game.

As someone who loves his rangers I now might have to build a ranger as a poisoner 😁

it's possible. but the bonus action clutter would get annoying real fast

the poisoner feat nerfing ranged poison doesnt help

I usually play w people that are more "gifted" not in the good way so it'll be hard to annoy me

Oh nah

#

All of a sudden my mind has been changed but I have no idea what might have caused this šŸ‘€

eager marsh
#

in theory, to prevent ranged builds from outshining melee builds? But it wouldn't matter. poisoning the sword you never lose/waste the poison until you hit. missing with an arrow you lose it entirely which was why it was 3 pieces before

No they dont. and artificer making them is redundant. they just make the ranged weapon +1

exactly why they cant

it would allow doubling up the bonus. also they'd need the plan to specifically allow at least x pieces of ammunition be made. then they're sharing with multiple people

it adds your proficency bonus to damage now whenever you take the attack action, no plus to hit penalty

damage bonus wont apply for attacks using your bonus action or reaction however.

Normally +1 ammo is hard to get
some weapons like crossbows would need a feat or repeating shoot
Gunpowder guns share almost same problem
Some few subclasses add stuff to the range attacks

Adding poison to attacks is bad too but that is a thing to poison than the range attacks

But I already got enough on my plate

I need another game as a player before I entertain the idea of dming a 3rd game.

He sustains himself off of the souls of pcs he's killed

It's like he was made for it

Strange request, me and my friends want to find a dm for a jjk themed campagin, using jjk supplement. Ps we have lil to no experience.

I'm wondering, is there such a thing where a more experienced DM will run a small-scale campaign with just one or two players, just to help you learn
I'm new to DND and feel like I just need someone to show me the ropes before I join like, a legitimate campaign

Anyone have any advice when building into a artificer cartographer

Ooo that's a cool idea for a character

It’s also a subclass

That being said, not a whole lot of bad guys in DnD where you can see it from their point of view, they're all cartoonishly evil.

umbral girder

He is a very, very bad guy

Or is it situational

Hey man, if you're looking to dip your toes into the game I'd highly recommend to keep an eye out for one shot games. They're small adventures that typically take between 2-4 hours to finish. Lots of guys out here are willing to teach you the ropes, but dont let yourself get into this idea where you arent "good enough" to join the campaign. You learn the rules as you play, the idea is to have fun, and if you're with the right group then it will be fun, no matter of how "good" mechanically of a player you are.

A friend wants to run a campaign where players lose their character progress, with him as the DM, and only for this campaign, saying that they will regain memories and abilities upon completion.

Well Strahd needs better taste in women

There is a reason it is spoilered. LOL

I’ll charm him with my character and then convince him to be a good person

#

I’m sure that’ll work out great

The Sourcebook actually prevents that, unfortunately. || To do that you'd have to find a way to lift his curse. ||

timber raven
#

But if you truly wanted to know more about her, here is a quote from the Wiki: || She cares little for other people outside her tribe of Vistani, except for Strahd, whom she wishes to be free of his curse. ||

So what was the latest dungeon or dragon that you've dealt with?

Yo, I am making a rogue, I have a 12 and an 11 left to use as ability scores for wisdom and constitution, which one should I do what with?

oak grotto
#

Whatever you want.

#

However if you're asking whether WIsdom or Con is more useful for rogues, the answer is Con.

I need help creating a new character. I'm barred from using what I wanna use and I'm so used to homebrewers and well.... Not pathfinder. My NF wants to include me in the next campaign he's DMing and the classes I prefer are already taken. I KNOW I wanna be a Kobold, but I just feel suddenly lack of confidence about what little I feel interest in.

#

can someone check to see if my character is legal that would be much appreciated

oak grotto
#

In my experience the only illegal characters you can make are characters that do crime. dndLol

Depends on its other features and on your DM. Some DMs don't like flying races at all.

If that’s what you think, then go for it! Sometimes you gotta just indulge when making homebrew
