# pine kraken how do i play?

Find a group of people who want to play (or are already playing and looking for more) and join them. There is very little gatekeeping for D&D

Hello, all.

timber tusk
#

Oh yes, a good portion of games are all done online now. It became very popular during the shutdown.

#

I played this one guys campaign and all we did was run around a maze dodging traps it was so boring

#

There was no story and he decided to not add any combat which made it the least interesting it could be

# lost ruin planning to dm for 3 people.. anything i should know? its my first time

Be ready to improvise. Your best bet is to start out with their starting zone and ask what they want to do. Have them build the story at first and just react to them. Then, after a bit of time, that will start to shift to you guiding their story that they have started themselves on. It takes a bit of practice, but just ask the players what they want to do and find a way to put a spin on it.

#

Also don't be super strict and let your story get in the way of their fun however temping it can be

#

Just realized that's Basically what endal said

timber tusk
#

OOH! And fudge your dice rolls. There's a reason the DM rolls behind a screen. Don't TPK your party in the first few levels, because that's not fun.

At the same time, use your dice to decide outcomes. I always liked using Even is Yes and Odd is No. Works well for when the players want to ask something and I don't have anything planned 😄

#

Well, not really "I didn' thave anything planned" and more of "They have thrown us so far off the rails that I don't think we're in Kansas anymore"

#

last dnd game i ran was in 2022, i had cat character sheets and the party EACH had a pet dragon and started a family of it before commiting genocide to a kingdom

#

that was.. 7th grade..

timber tusk
#

That tracks for a 7th grade campaign.

lost ruin
#

8th grade dnd campaign will go crazy

timber tusk
#

First campaign I did with my kids was pretty much all My Little Pony themed. I watched a few episodes and came up with something custom that they all loved. Only played a few times, though

#

i have a dnd game inspired off umineko and final fantasy and fire emblem

#

i just cant find people for it : (

#

Been playing Fallout New Vegas lately and I love the idea of doing a Fallout themed session.

lost ruin
#

i love campaigns with wars

#

i also made a weapon that has ghosts suffering for its power and it hits alot of crit damage per shot

timber tusk
#

Best campaign I ever ran was an amalgamation of D&D and the movie Zootopia. The idea was that different races all lived in relative harmony with eachother. One of the scenarios the players ran involved finding out why the synthetic blood that the vampires ate was being diluted. It was a bit silly, but at the same time I gave them high stakes and made them fall in love with the NPCs.

Oh, that's another good tip, @pine kraken , kill your players favorite NPC to get them to dive onto the rails 😄

For those of you who are new, welcome to the hobbydndCheers
For the visual learners, this 3 minute video by One Shot Questers provides a nice overview https://youtu.be/zONEcUAYDfU?si=cp62okM2Sdsl0-AD
Afterwards, check out the resources in the bot post above and #learn-to-play
I recommend trying out the intro demo, reading the free basic rules, and watching the Hanbooker Helper videos.

For in person games you can:

  • Visit tabletop game shops
  • Visit local conventions
  • Visit your local libraries
  • Visit your school
  • Search Meetup for local play groups.
    As these tend to host opportunities to play in person and tend to be very new player friendly.

Online options in this server:

  • Follow the instructions in #find-a-game to learn how to make a post in #looking-for-dm .
  • Reach out to people in the #looking-for-players channel.
  • These posts are by DMs looking for players.
  • Tip: Take your time to read these posts and see if they are compatible with your preferences and interests.
  • Tip: Reply to these posts with your preferences and play styles to help the DM determine if you are compatible.
  • Check out #looking-for-community as responses to postings will point you to communities that host dnd games.

Yo I've only played fighter and blood hunter roles in my DND life never really stepping outside of it

#

And I was wondering if anyone had a good fighter build with a little bit of elemental magic

#

The only problem is the ones I've seen are all healer and religious esc and I just want some elemental capabilities

#

I chose fire ganasi as my race

if you want as well, dnd beyond has a very good character set up for people that are beginners! they explain each part of making your character and what they mean, for example, the class, the race, ability scores, ect. let me grab the link for you

#

just press the standard option and click the ‘beginner? show help text’ option before you begin! ❤️

wheat crystal
#

You both should check out this channels pins and #learn-to-play . Both contain a link to the free basic rules, as well as the hand booker helper video supplement

#

Getting into D&D via shows is a great way to gauge your interest in the hobby, just keep in mind they are professional shows so their production value is quite high compared to the average DnD game

I tried watching some of the dnd shows but none of them really interested me… I’ve had a lot of fun playing it tho

New to the game, working my way around learning the basics and I think I'm ready to start my first campaign. I enjoy the fantasy elements where you can dive into a new reality, a world where the mechanics are entirely different, surrounded by likeminded adventurers.

Skills

A skill represents a specific aspect of an ability score. Proficiency in a skill lets you add your proficiency bonus to ability checks that involve that skill, making you more likely to succeed.

Write your ability modifier next to each skill for that ability. If you’re proficient with that skill, add your proficiency bonus as well.

also if u want to experience it a bit for without playing there are a ton of dnd podcast but keep in mind they are much more well produced than actual dnd because it is a show and they are getting paid for it

inner salmon
#

tysm for your guys helpp! I appreciate it so much

slim flare
#

A good way to learn is in game though.

#

Observations and committing mistakes is a good way to learn by practice

#

And not always the most well-thought out idea will be as good

scenic canyon
#

yeah I know but I more said it if they want to get a feel of what it looks like in practice before playing really helped me at least

inner salmon

I'm watching dimension20 rn it's entertaining

Yeah some dnd youtubers do make alot of stuff like that

#

Newt what level 1 spells do u recommend for a paladin

#

I’m lvl 3 and I picked bless, wrathful smite and shield of faith

graceful kelp
scenic canyon
#

i def suggest just spending most slots on divine smit anyway

manic relic
scenic canyon
manic relic
#

As in why don’t they go together

#

Pretty sure concentration is for how long the enchantment lasts

#

I woudve thought 10 rounds is long enough

fresh fable
#

Concentration is you focusing on the spell to keep it active if you take damage you need to roll to see if you can maintain the spell

manic relic
#

Oh I wasn’t aware of that second part

scenic canyon
#

yeah taking a ton of damage is part of the paladin thing so its hard to do both

manic relic
#

Well if my shield of faith gives me an ac of 21 it’s likely I won’t be taking much damage at all so is that alright?

scenic canyon
#

bless is a good way to start a fight tho or shield of faith

But fairs, I just thought I’d bless the rest of the crew I didn’t even consider myself 😵‍💫

inner salmon
scenic canyon
# manic relic 3

well then depends on the classes in ur party and how many in party

manic relic
#

As a vengeance paladin I got bane aswell which does the opposite of bless on enemies, would it be worth using both or just bless

scenic canyon
#

cant use both theyre both concentration

manic relic
#

Ah so only one concentration at a time

inner salmon
#

Can someone recommend a character name I'm so indecisive when it comes to name

scenic canyon
#

yeah thats why when ur a paladin and have so little spells to begin with its usually better to just use spells on stuff like compell duel and smites atleast thats my opinion

manic relic

#

Multiclass*

#

Like a mix of druid and clerk?

#

I'm having a hard time choosing from both so wondered if multiclass is a thing

echo kelp
nova stag
#

Oh ok

#

Clerk for me has too much holy style but I really like to be the support type character who heals but have a green asthetic with nature so druid falls into it

scenic canyon
#

u can also make it so cleric isnt exactly holy maybe they worship nature or the animals in a forest it can be whatever u want

nova stag
#

Oh ok

lament mica
# nova stag Oh ok

More clearly, Clerics, while they most often worship a single deity, are also able to worship a pantheon or even their domain (life, war, etc.) itself. You could also ask your DM if you could reflavor it as gaining powers from the world itself, but that’s 1. Up to DM discretion and 2. Might be too similar to Druids

nova stag
#

Oh ok ok ty

scenic canyon

DnDBeyond has a character creation tool. You can also buy the D&D books on DnDBeyond to access more character options/features/items.

#

Abilities

Six abilities provide a quick description of every creature's physical and mental characteristics: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma.

For each ability, your character has an ability score, a number from 1 to 20. There are three ways to determine ability scores, and your DM will let you know which to use. (If you don’t have a DM yet, choose Standard Array or Point Buy.)

  • Roll the Dice. Roll 4d6 and record the total of the highest three. Do this six times, and then assign each total to a different ability.
  • Standard Array. Assign each of the following numbers to a different ability: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8.
  • Point Buy. Choose your own ability scores by spending points.

After assigning your ability scores (and adding any bonuses from your race), determine your ability modifiers, a number from -5 to +5, using the Ability Scores and Modifiers table.

echo kelp
#

^ Here's how you determine your ability scores

nova stag
#

Ok

#

echo kelp

The modifiers are determined after you set your ability scores.

nova stag
#

Ok thank you very much

inner salmon
#

what is the difference of investigate and insight? like i'm reading it but I still dont get it

#

investigation*

echo kelp
#

Investigation: physically sifting through the room to find clues (opening drawers, looking behind paintings, looking at the door hinges, finding the broken glass shards, etc.)
Insight: Taking time to mentally go over the evidence and identify whether something makes sense or not - is that person lying to you? Are they hiding something?

pine thunder
#

Hey, sorry

I was reading the “player’s handbook” to create a character, but in the races, I see no goblin. There’s no way I can be a goblin?

echo kelp
#

Yes - you would first need your DM to allow that species option and then either buy the book that it is in to access it or be in a campaign with content sharing enabled to access the material.
You would need the Monsters of the Multiverse book to access the Goblin species.

You don’t need to read the whole thing. For instance, you don’t need to know about every race, class, or spell, even if you’re the DM. Focus on what’s relevant to you, take your time, don’t feel bad about forgetting or not understanding right away. It should hopefully click eventually, and for anything that still confuses you, search blogs, videos, or ask on the server for clarification!

Hello! I'm new and want to get into D&D best places to start?

#

online btw

echo kelp
#

#learn-to-play and check the pinned messages here in this channel. And welcome!

jade orbit
#

alright thanks

Start with getting to grips with the free basic rules, watch some vidoes/streams of folks playing D&D to see a bit of how the mechanics work (undrestanding that many of these are for entertainment purposes and may not reflect exactly how the rules work), then try your hand at creating a character sheet (refer to the free basic rules as the first chapter is a step by step on how to create a character). Then when you feel like you're readyt o find a group to play with, read the info in #find-a-game to learn how to use our Looking For Game channels to find a group to play with.

Dueling
When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.

  • Source: Free Basic Rules, Chapter 3, Fighter, Fighting Style

So you would add the +2 to Damage/Type section where of a melee weapon listed, just remember you can only use it when you are wielding it with one hand.

#

Damage calculation would be: (damage dice of melee weapon) + (STR or DEX modifier, depending on the weapon type) + 2 Fighting Style.

As an artificer, could I cast a ritual spell as a ritial even if I dont have that spell prepared?

lament yarrow
true musk
#

To cast a spell as a ritual, a spellcaster must have a feature that grants the ability to do so. The cleric and the druid, for example, have such a feature. The caster must also have the spell prepared or on his or her list of spells known, unless the character's ritual feature specifies otherwise, as the wizard's does

Hey yall is there a big difference between a fighter and a paladin, I know a paladin is like a religious fighter but is there more to it both in mechanics and role play?

@glass summit So basically all those spells with various materials and components can be skipped if I am holding this arcane focus thing?

#

Some of those materials seem really elaborate like a newt's eye in a gem or whatnot

glass summit
#

Yes, unless that Material component has a Gold-Piece (GP) cost

#

Material components without GP costs are largely just flavor, since any Component Pouch you have is fully stocked with every non-GP-costed material component you will need

alright makes sense thank you!

Be sure to read the material components. Most of them are easter eggs 😉

Why does It seem like all of dnd is always stuck in medieval times?

brisk token
#

It's a fantasy RPG, usually set in a world that is fantasy based.

cobalt frigate

Because D&D was created around a medieval / Renaissance era setting.

You can check out the Eberron book for a little bit more "steam punk" style setting

If you want a fantasy setting set in modern or futuristic era setting then there are other TTRPGs for that (see Shadowrun).

Advantage lets you roll two d20 dice and you take the higher number of the two.
Disadvantage lets you roll two d20 dice and you take the lower number of the two.

I am attempting to have a level three Gnome Wizard who specializes in Necromancy. This Gnome wizard will provide as a support class for the group having necromancer spells that deal damage, so such spells should be focused on. However, also assisting spells that preferably are Necromancer spells, but if not, are good support spells that likely does not deal much damage to help the group with. I am curious on which spells would be best for a level three Necromancer Gnome Wizard like myself?

So i'm in a few campaigns at the minute and i've only played more physical combat classes. Can someone explain how spellcasting works with the spell slots and stuff? I watched a video but i'm still not sure. Happy to move this question elsewhere if this is the wrong channel :)

Moved from DnD discussion

true musk
#

Sure.

harsh fjord
#

Let's take a level 1 druid. They have 2 spell slots, and being a prepared caster, they have access to all of the level 1 spells on their class list. They can have ready a certain number of spells (WIS bonus + level, so a druid with +3 in Wisdom at level 1 could prep 4 spells). This set of four is the pool they can cast spells from.

They can only cast two spells from that pool of four, so you could cast the same spell twice or one spell once and an entirely different one once.

true musk
#

Generally spells are broken down into levels.

  • Cantrip Spells
  • These are spells that you can cast as many times as you'd like.
  • Leveled Spells
  • These are spells that you can cast as long as long as you have a spell slots available of that level.

Spell slots themselves can be considered to be similar stamina. As long as you have enough stamina (spells slots), you can cast leveled spells.

brisk flax
#

Okay, thanks. This makes sense so far :)

So what does it mean when someone says e.g. "i cast [insert spell name] at 3rd level"

true musk
#

Then you would need to have a 3rd level spell slot available to use.

harsh fjord
#

Each spell has a level associated with it. Magic Missile, for example, is level 1. You could use a third-level slot for it to get extra effects, but not all spells give you some additional effect.

#

You can cast a spell using a higher-level slot, but not a lower-level one.

brisk flax
#

ahhh i see. do you have the same number of spell slots in each level?

harsh fjord
#

Each class with spells has a chart showing how many slots you get per level (outside of multiclassing, which is beyond the scope of this channel).

true musk
harsh fjord
#

To add on to Zero, lower-level spells can be upcasted (say you used all your level 1 slots but still want to cast a level 1 spell and you have a third-level slot), but not all of them include extra effects.

brisk flax
#

thanks so much guys, i think i get it :) might try a spellcasting class in my next campaign or one-shot!

Accessing Content on D&D Beyond

There are four ways to access content on D&D Beyond that you may have in your physical books

  1. Purchase the full digital book from the marketplace
  2. Purchase a digital/physical bundle from the marketplace
  3. Join a DnDBeyond campaign with someone who already owns the book where content sharing has been enabled
  4. Use the homebrew tools to copy the content from your physical book into D&D Beyond. Note: Do not publish any content copied in this way, it is for personal use only

Only the free basic/SRD materials are available for free.

Well, if you have any questions about rules you may not understand then ask here!

slender robin
#

ive listened to some dnd podcasts before and ive heard of shapeshifters/changelings, are they a valid race in dnd & what do those kinds of characters generally look like?

slender robin
cobalt frigate
#

Changelings are a playable race in D&D but that depends on the DM if they're allowable in their campaign setting.

slender robin
#

does that just mean that sometimes being a changeling can bypass different things that the dm has in place? like certain puzzles and stuff?

#

which is why they dont allow them?

cobalt frigate
#

No, changeling can just change their physical appearance. Nothing more.

#

Some settings just don't have certain species. The Dragonlance campaign setting doesn't have orcs, for example.

slender robin
#

ohhhhh

#

how many different characters is it best to have? just in case the one you normally use isnt allowed?

#

also, are there some races that dont work with certain classes, or is it possible for any pair of race and class?

cobalt frigate
#

You can make practice characters but don't expect them to use them until you find a DM.

#

There are no restrictions on race / class.

slender robin
#

okay!
one more thing before i go look at the builder 😭 can changelings turn into anything they so please, or can they only turn into things that exist in the campaign setting theyre in?

cobalt frigate

No, just another humanoid creature.

To be honest, it may take you days to weeks to find a good table to play at. This is because there are waaaaaay more players than Dungeon Masters (DMs).

It really depends on the setting and source for example Mordekainen ( Source) let's you chage size from medium to small and vice versa, whereas Ebberon allows changes just in appearance. Usually you must have seen the shape you want to turn into. These decisions ( sources used) are made by the DM usually.

#

is being a dm difficult? what do a dm's plans for a game usually look like?
i ask because whenever i listen to games i can never discern how the dm is intending the game to go, but they always seem to have something prepared. do they just write several stories for every possible action that a player(s) could take, or are they just really good at improv?

lyric fjord
#

im in science class trying to practice playing D&D

brittle oak
#

It depends on what you want to offer or what your table wants. It's alot of prep work and reading the books. Mainly because you will need to rule on your players actions and keep an eye on the story while also playing the monsters. So it's actually a fair bit of work.

Regarding how the DM intends the game to go, I for one never pigeongole my players into doing anything. I just "script" some encounters to nudge them in the right direction, but otherwise they can do whatever they please if it's within the rules of the game

It's a combination of different skills such as improv, having a plan, and communication.
For people who want to try DMing, there are some key things that can set yourself up for success:

  • Start with a pre-written adventure
  • Have a DM screen has rules you that are helpful to access at a glance.
  • Have a session session with a group to go over expectations and determine the expectations are compatible with the group.

Depends on the table! It's safe to assume everyone is nice, but some groups might prefer experienced players. It's best to make sure your DM knows you're new to the game when you reach out to them

People are people. There's no guarantee how each table/DM behaves.

Finding a good group to play with is like dating because D&D is a social game you play with others.

echo kelp
#

We all started new at some point - many folks are fine taking on new-to-D&D players particularly if that new player has spent effort in trying to read and learn the core game rules and mechanics so the rest of the table doesn't have to spend the entire game teaching rather than playing.

smoky condor
#

if you are new - say so - some DMs do tend to be picky about sheet errors and stuff, any hostility is kind of a red flag

cobalt frigate
#

If you join a table without bothering to learn the fundamental rules and hope that the DM will pause the game constantly to teach you, don't be surprised if you won't stay at the table very long. Do your part and learn the game ahead of time — you don't need to memorize all of the rules but familiarize yourself with them.

"Is theres something else i should prepare for?" This list is functionally endless. As a rule, players are unpredictable, my go to explanation is you're going to have a seemingly perfect adventure hook in a tavern with the well dressed noble thats out of place. But you accidentally mentioned a shabby goblin in one of the dirtier corners. And now boggles the homeless drunkard goblin is the only NPC your PCs will accept adventures from.

I always tell new DMs that Improv is your best friend. You can only prep so much, so being ready to roll with a curveball will save you.

Hi!
Our DM asked us to make 5 level character, and I tried to use a tutorial online that said that for ability scores:
"You could assign the scores 15, 14, 13, 12, 10 and 8 to the abilities of your choice"
Is it true even if we begin at level 5?

lime turret
#

No, because you’ll have an Ability Score Improvement at level 4.

true musk
smoky condor

characters are generally built from lvl 1 and then you walk through the level up process - lvl 4 is the feat/asi depending on DM rules as Skyblade mentioned - if you take a feat you would have the same scores

To build on Aery's answer.
At character creation, the highest number a stat can be is 15, before including the bonus from your racial option, if done through point buy or standard array.
If you pick a race that give a plus two to a stat, you can start with a 17 in with a particular stat.

By level 4 you'll have the option to get an Ability Score Increase (ASI) or take a feat. Some feats provide a new ability and a stat increase.

pine blaze
#

I couldn't understand why the calculator didn't let me go above 15
That explains it lol

exotic remnantBOT
#

Abilities

Six abilities provide a quick description of every creature's physical and mental characteristics: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma.

For each ability, your character has an ability score, a number from 1 to 20. There are three ways to determine ability scores, and your DM will let you know which to use. (If you don’t have a DM yet, choose Standard Array or Point Buy.)

  • Roll the Dice. Roll 4d6 and record the total of the highest three. Do this six times, and then assign each total to a different ability.
  • Standard Array. Assign each of the following numbers to a different ability: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8.
  • Point Buy. Choose your own ability scores by spending points.

After assigning your ability scores (and adding any bonuses from your race), determine your ability modifiers, a number from -5 to +5, using the Ability Scores and Modifiers table.

Dice roll or taking variant human with a half feat also = 18 possible at lvl 1, but that's niche

Also looking for a game can take a while alas. Being proactive and messaging DMs about any game you're interested in, especially if you show you have read and understood their post, is one of the best ways to get into a game rather than waiting for DMs to come to you.

You can also look into Adventure League, which is organised play, and look out for Westmarches (community servers with lots of DMs and Players) and Oneshots. These tend to be lower commitment games that you can join and if they don't work out for you, leave- but hopefully after meeting some people you do get along with and stay in contact with. Sometimes the best online groups are formed from slowly networking and putting together a team from other games you've played in.
