#YO ANYONE DOWN FOR DND ON NON-STREAM NIGHTS?

basically, you can use spells during fights no problem
but don't exhaust everything you have during a single fight
of course, unless it's literal life or death

That does suck
I atleast get half my spells back from a short rest
Which is why I regret not casting a spell in our last fight
i think our team is a few mages away form potentialy getting wiped
Thrice
we really need a way to deal with ranged oponent and specialy mages
Short rests?
Isn't that the thing for wizard?
basically let's you choose spell slots to recover equal to have your level rounded up
so- at level 1, during a shot rest, you can recover 1 1st level spell slot, once per day
at level 2, same as above
at level 3, you can recover either 2 1st level slots, or 1 2nd level slot
at level 4 same as above
at level 5, you can recover either 3 1st level slots, 1 2nd and 1 1st, or 1 3rd level slot
but all of it is once per day
Eeh
Ok
Man
That will take some time then to get the feeling on when it's right to use a spell
spells in dnd are extremely powerful, if they weren't limited, the powerbalance would be.. out of bounds 
it's already really good that you can actually recover spell slots outside of long rests

I just need to know when the timing is good to use them
once we get a few levels, some of my spells can single-handedly turn a fight completely on it's head
which will be fun, just need enemies to not succeed their saves
u use them when u need to
Many of my spells don't check for saving throws
that's part of playing a spell caster
short rests can be taken often enough

Have you read some of the spells I send Aizo?
I've only looked at grim hollow spells a little bit

but, also remember that cantrips are "free" essentially
which is why for a caster, at least early levels, having damaging cantrips is good
me and drake had a slight altercation cuz i didn't want him to kill a bandit that surrendered so i took hes cross bow from him
my char didn't aprove but will grow more accepting of it as time goes
is important to play as your character would, even if it isn't necessarily the best for the group

indeed
when beans went down during our fight, I wanted to heal him so bad
but my character wouldn't be doing that
i mainly have him grow accepting of it for the sake of playing as a group cuz no fun if we are just at odds all the time
i will find a way to rationalize it

oh u have limited uses?
Yh proficiency bonus times a day
hop has a ton of useability
Yep jumping up a 10ft cliff twice
ah same as my raven queen blessing
lets make sure we get a long rest in the town so u get ur uses back
Yep
intercept runners, get to more fragile allies, get out of danger yourself
Ooh
Does the hop let me increase my movement so I could run 25 ft then jump an extra 10ft
I didn't even send in Sanguine Puppet
Yh
and at 3rd level i get resistance to all dmg untill my next turn
Nice
which is the more uniqe part of it
Nice
i don't really plan on having any ranged weapons but i'll concider getting throwing knives or something like that
Sanguine Puppet
I like the sangromancy spells
So much different stuff that is all so cool
they are uniqe and fun
i don't think my first vampire gets gets uniqe spells
This one is also such a cool lvl 2 spell
would it be possible for a virst vampire to multi class or?
i assume no cuz it's a subclass
don't forget, grim hollow's first vampire is overpowered
yeah i was a good roll away from getting to play it
as long as you actually hit, and then use your vampire thingy
your minimum damage you will do is like 11 or something, which is already
more than most have in health at level one

Oh first vampire is cool
I learned about that subclass in that one video that ranks the Grim Hollow spells
The video was also done by the two guys who actually made the First Vampire subclass
yup very strong
i made one called mary (bloody mary)
I know
inspired by the villain in the infamous 2 festival of blood dlc
oh i'v said it a few times 
Is that new?
unsure
i do hope tiger decides to stay with us or we will be down to 4 in the group 
Yh I need to give it a proper go
As it’s a massive thing for me
no worries 
As I’ve been with the other group for nearly 3 years
And it’s only 1 player that is making me miserable
oh that sucks
Yh
u talked to them about it?
It’s the dms gf
oh
once I get a few levels, I will get "antagonize" from sorcerer, along with "subtle spell" which let's me cast a spell
with no somatic or verbal components, basically nobody can see I cast in the first place;
I can make random peepos I come across hit strangers around them, and nobody will know I did it

Yh and I have a lot of friends in that campaign
u could cast it and dm cannon that u do and the target so that if u wanna make them attack and ally they won't know u did it
they will just see that u used ur movement and ended ur turn
I have said to cannon but I will have to miss a session coming up don’t know when as there is a big boss fight coming up and I want to be there for that
understandable
Yh
Your streamer
i know but why the weird screenshots 
or randomly some important person's bodyguard punches them in the face
while I sneak off

yup
i just think dming when and who u use the spell on to the dm makes it funny cuz the party won't know if it's the enemies own actions or u making them do it 
But we are in a dungeon
How many people will we meet in a dungeon
who knows 
casts it on party member
u tell the dm and then the dm just informs them that they are making an involuntary attack on an enemy target
or friendly
assuming they fail the save
oh wait they take dmg as well
eh the spell still does 4d4 psychic damage
even though I'm evil aligned, I still won't directly
harm someone if it could lead to my own disadvantage

evil =/= stupid
i just thought it would be fun and chaotic
a little puppetry on the enemy
I don't do evil things for the sake of evil
I do things to advance my own agenda
sometimes at the cost of others

ur char sounds fun
i did have a thought of making a char which would be really annoying for my potential team mates as i would be causing problems on purpose and try to stire chaos
i would be sure to let them know i'm 100% ok with them killing my char ofc
it's just there for me to see how much i can fuck around and have fun with and not care about consequenses
one thing I'm looking forward to as we advance through the campaign and levels- if we get that far
is that my object of faith is supposed to gradually make me lose track of what's real and what isn't as well
so my character will also get more and more insane as the campaign goes on
i don't like the idea of potentialy ruining someones experience which is the main issue with that char
yup i'v very excited to play him
Aizo you haven't lookes at my spells?
my favorite among all the chars i'v made
venin is her object of faith: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/etharis-baz/a/venin-person
i made a copy of the sheet so i can reroll the stats for another char should i wish to play another reaper in the future
I posted lesser ones here too
the upper-most level cannon said the campaign goes to is 16

so around there, or maybe 15 at the end- unless we rushed then maybe 14
but between 14-16 is probably what we should expect by the end, if we get that far
i like how she looks 
the image isn't her, I think that's another follower of hers

It would have been a perfect end for my character
venin's "image" is supposed to be an unnaturally tall, black-hooded lady, with a mirror where her face would have been
ah just the desciption was female and with a hood so figured oh might be her

and the mirror distorts the visage of whoever gazes into it, makes them go insane, or other such things
if my char reached 17 i could deal 200dmg to a char 
I included this into my backstory, so this was how I got my eldritch powers

oh no worries, once you die, my character will eat your brain

oh u think this could be used against a false hydra?
u find the corpse of someone u don't know eat their brain and oh it was ur team memeber and now u know they got killed by a false hydra
I don't know what a false hydra is

"Uncovering the secret power of Blood Magic and finding something that benefits the people like he assumed there was"
false hydra is a hydra which can sing? and makes u forget it ever excisted and if it kills anyone u forget they excisted as well
so u basicaly don't know it's there or that ur group is dying to it
this is only durring the effects of it's song i belive which ends if it tried to make a bite attack
This I still don't know how far it goes
Can I cast this on teammates to revive them too?
Can I cast it on creatures to reanimate them and will they do my bidding?
it's basically just a resurrection spell, altered for sangromancy
you don't control the target
but the target gets a neat temporary bonus for a bit after
gordon
ah gordon
as u have kept me alive i will do my best to keep u alive as well
really thats my plan for all of the group cuz if anyone tries to kill u i will concider it not ur time
long death monk is a semi-tank subclass after all
decent defensive traits

indeed except when i get hit i seem to get hit pretty hard
You're not the only one who can determine if someone lives or not
atleast for a significant amount of dmg
that's true for everyone at level 1

need a few levels to get going
indeed
i rolled a nat 1 for initiative so i think i was last out of everyone
had a +4 making it 5 but still
fit with me wanting to wait and see how things devlop cuz i don't wanna be the one to initiate
i managed to take out one person non lethaly and they executed him >.<
and then the last person surrendered and drake tried to shot him with hes crossbow but i stopped him
bandit tried to run away and hulk gave chase shoting him with a shortbow
I think drake's oath doesn't let him show mercy
seems group has for now agreed that we wanna question him

Man
Id llf we get to such a point
Imma just beat him up and love it
Fuck the blood magic for a while
Just straight up fists and kicks in the nuts
possibly
i think drake sendt a thing which said u can't prevent death
thanks mate. gordon basically just wants to do good as much as possible
torture isn't nice 
he feels bad about killing but knows it is sometimes necessary
i like ur char
gordon did try to cover him
hahaha, i like him as well. and its someone who is easy to voice act
this is the meanest spell you get, and will likely get access to
if we don't die early, since 8th level spells is from level 15 onwards
yeah as time goes and we grow as a group we will have to come to an agreement on how to handle things
WHY IS IT WHITE AND WHY DIDN'T YOU ALSO GET THE SPELL NAME
somehow i get the feeling majora likes killing people
Oh it's Red Rain
i will start being more tolerant to killings atleast from u guys and drake might have to restrain himself a little for the sake of getting information and such
Yea I wanted to say that
I might get to use Red Rain
It's fucking climactic and badass
exactly, gordon will probably try to act like the glue of the party
gordon does't like seeing his friends fight
But I didn't get overly excited about it since we are in a dungeon
this is the meanest spell I will get access to
and will have it already after level 9
Amd it seems like that's where most of our time is going to be spend
with this spell, I can make someone no longer be able to replenish hit points and spell slots
and then eventually they just die without being able to do anything- meanwhile I'm on the literal
other side of the planet while casting the spell

for reference, I'm talking about the part that says the target gets no benefits from a long rest
yeah for now we are practicaly strangers
true
when the initial contract ended i tried to create a way for us to become a group again naturaly
and now we have
lets just say gordon is very positive and thinks easily of people as his friends
i like the way you did that
i tried my best to do it while in character
i'm a lone wanderer but i do help people i come across
what kind of character is gordon?
Dream haunting nice
indeed
hahah, great question
yee
gordon is a paladin firbolg
a walking tree that kinda talks like either a stoner or like a cool surfer dude
Well that still requires you to know the person and not be in fight with them
XDDD
yup, the only requirement is that I know the person
that's hardly a requirement

for some context, this is his backstory
Gordon is a tree that grew in the courtyard of a church and after a couple hundred years the holy powers of the church gave him life.
and thus Gordon decided to live his life serving the people of the church and visitors. after a long time the head priest talked with Gordon and told him he should see the wonders of the world and thus Gordon left on an adventure.
I thought you were a firbolg
yes, firbolg with his class being paladin
u had a nice story
Yh I should go to sleep lol
lmao
It’s 2 am
3am here as well
I mean yea I would go more crazy over it if our campaign wasn't set in a dumgeon where most likely the only people we'll meet are ones that we'll have to fight immediately
aizo u have ideas for what i could do if i wanted to create a dancer like char?
i wasn't there at the start but is ur campaign also a dungeon crawler?
ours is and we haven't even gotten to the dungeons
bard
and depending where you want to take it, multiclass monk
i'm thinking the astetic of like an ff14 dancer
You atleast were at an village
And outside
at the start
We started right up at the door in a cave
We were already deep beneath and infront of the door to the mausoleum
we're not going to be in a dungeon for the entire campaign, the one we're in is basically an introductory dungeon
but then, only cannon actually knows for sure

no comment
if say yes then you can't be mad if I kill you with a lich at lv1
I'm actually not too worried about spell-casters for once
but anything is content in dnd
failure is part of the fun

indeed
i can say i almost died early in both campaigns i played
first cuz i licked some purple slime and second cuz some lady with a big sword decided she didn't like me breathing
beans, our poor fighter almost fell during first fight as well
and first attack I took in the campaign was a nat 20/critical hit

is going to be so much fun
beans need to reach level 3, then he'll get some cool traits

Beans need to have better dice luck first
Aizo did
Wait me?
yes
he went to assist snek in inspecting a magcial orb while we were still fighting

OY I WAS THE SECOND BIGGEST DAMAGE DEALER

u finished off 2 already dmg'd enemies 
Sneke was the only one who fucked off and left the Skeletons HE woke up to us
toll the dead right?
Yee
yee, a really strong cleric cantrip
i was watching 
but wizards has access to it
Mind Sliver I got too
does extra damage to already hurt enemies
And then Mage Hand
I have set up my character, so the only kind of damage I can do, is psychic damage
oh i thought aizo did that 
literally all my stuff is psychic
for the dancer did u mean regular bard or a bard subclass?
She did
oh collage of swords sounds fitting
i don't remember 
@proud pebble i see the resemblance now
Compilation of the Sun Tree's appearances in episodes 37, 57, and 70 of Critical Role.
i think collage of swords is what would suit a dancer char best

possibly reflavor? the weapons to look more fan like or something
i continued watching the video, and i love the suntree omg
college of:
- adventurers
- spirits
- valour
yee grim hollow
the ff dancer is first and foremost a support, and secondary ranged damage dealer
ah i think we are thinking of it differently
these subclasses can aid allies, while also doing damage themselves
or straight up just add damage to ally's attacks
i'm not looking for the supprt capabilities but the dancing part of it
like a fancy fighting style kinda
ah you might want the grim hollow monk then
just remembered i have this
that's always fun ! can possibly make thorns stop barring your path and such

yes, and it's nice cus flora, fauna and fertility are literally his faith

i also think collage of swords seems fitting cuz of the blade flouish
i imagine that as the like dance
and it can be used for defense and attack
idk why but i didn't think about the fact i could just chose to do dances
i don't need it as an ability
and I'll flavour how she inspires allies and such, not with a musical instrument per se, but through dancing


does any of the monk sub classes do magic?
specificaly i want lighting but fire is also ok
four elements do
they spend ki to mimic elemental spells

i guess it's the closest
since i'm starting infmous 2 on thursday i had the thought of making a char inspired by the mc
so lighting powers
@tidal vault did you have your backstory for your character in here?
And by the way Cannon, is Tuan going to join us or is he not going to come at all for the campaign?
I tried to look but he really disappeared since last week
His dc in this channel atleast has been dead
Hope nothing happened to the fella
In the character sheet yes. I have a lengthier version on a doc
Can you send both in here?
Yup! One sec
Ayy same , the first time gor swung his sword he did 17 damage on a crit 
Hanvur then died twice trying to jump over a pool of lava in the same fight
Man died as he lived
rolling poorly on dex checks?
At least
DnD is coming again soon
That actually the thing that I'm looking forward now for every week
Thanks Cannon for doing the Campaign
The scene @pastel idol ?
of course
the hobbit 2nd or 3rd one

I don't remember the wizards physically fighting
gives me a reason to watch them

Damn you Cannon
That's just Christopher Lee being Christopher Lee

surely
just need the cheat armou-- I mean, totally fair and balanced armour of persistance
All i'm gonna do now is uh. Grab the Orphic Hammer, sign the contract, sneak to the undercity invisible, kill Orin
maaaybe kill Cazador and free Volo but otherwise, gale bomb
i dare you to do the prison escape

i can't because that would not let me be peaceful with Gortash
prison escape is easy
I've literally never died whilst doing it
isnt it like 5 turns only in honor mode?
yeah, so?
it always took me like 8 
sounds like a skill issue
in the attempts i didnt have some idiot run into an enemy and die that is
no it's much, much simpler than that
with magic missile, you can shut the doors and stop the sahuagin from coming
send one party member down each corridor with dimension door and misty step scrolls
grab a prisoner and run, while killing the sahuagin that enter and shut the rest out
fyi i will create a new channel for DND in the gaming forum #1414380479716655154
tldr:
some big server changes
we are moving this discussion to #1415615400585990165
if you go into id:customize
you can be sure to get the role for the campaign you are a part of
Beans, Dtravesty, Majora, Aizo and TuanTuan are D&D group 2
Drake, Bomparm, Sneke, Val , luckytiger and Samzukwu are D&D group 3
i dont want to move 
well i wont move. im staying here.
i member the day and time.

the new dnd chat is far superior
seriously guys use the new chat and roles, I'm not gonna be posting here anymore
ahaha no more shitlings 

Maybe.... say that.... in the actual DnD channel then.....
Crazy idea am I right
what do u mean this is the dnd channel
(i forgot there was another one
)

TRUE
its one and only
Wrong channel this is the old one you gotta switch to the new
no dnd this week?
Wrong channel buddy
Wait what?
