Yeah I like battlemaster since it fits the mercenary veteran. Eldritch would only benefit more spellslots, since I’ll only end up with 2 warlock ones
Is he? He could be all though I think what strikes me is that he is supposed to be cunning and thinks of words like blades, like a tool to defeat your enemy and so on
So he isn't a full on brute
So I can see Battlemaster
Yeah more technical and conniving when he needs to be
Eldritch could be pretty fun though cause of rp and the fact that there is a wizard in pur party too
That being me
And since Fighters get their subclass at lvl 3 it could mean that Jo Zhiva learned from tge Wizard Jo-Rah
Like he’d definitely do a snake eyes type thing where he does a sneaky attack with the tailspwar while the enemy is focused on the big sword on his hand
So he could become an apprentice to Jo-Rah and that could be a fun thing in the party for rp but also explaining why and how he learned magic just now
Yeah!
That’s a cool way to look at it
Maybe you can summon me up a patron 👀
Hmmmmm
Would it fit?
That's the question
I remember him being kind of a follower of Bahamut
The Dragon God father
Oh that’s true
To an extent though because he also values strength and cunning
So if he sees those traits in a potential patron I don’t see why he wouldn’t turn it down
what type of warlock you are is more determined by what entity you make a pact with
if trav wants a pact with Bahamut then he's a celestial warlock because Bahamut is a god
I meant in general what he wants to do now
Be fighter pure, subclass or multiclass or what
Thatd be interesting I think that sounds really cool I’d try it
And that way I’m not just copying one of my past characters builds
Cause I was thinking hexblade since I think it pairs well with fighter, but celestial warlock sounds fun
it's basically the healer warlock
Ooh battle healer
Sounds useful for our party too since aizo isn’t mainly playing a healer
Fits the brass dragon vibe too
it's not like pure healer or anything, you just get a healing ability XD
How much in it though?
Yeah which is more healing than we have
little top off every now and again
How muvh Fighter lvls and how much Warlock?
true 
In my BG3 build it was 3 or 4 of fighter and 8 or 9 of warlock for level 12
So 3/9 or 4/8 can’t remember exactly which
I would have to look at the skill and upgrade opportunities for the celestial warlock but I think Jivah build would call for a bit more of fighter
Rhea does have access to healing, she's just not (at least initially) inclined to use it for anything but herself
Fake Sangromancy dice
He certainly seems atleast more like a melee fighter since he is supposed to be a mercenary veteran
But our party is also already fulk of ranged attackers
We got 4 people already who want to be on range
You and Bean's are our only melee fighters currently
Yeah so I would be putting more into fighter, and then the healing will be enough to cover beans
Yeah that’s what I meant I remember you said she likes to debuff and buff more
Rhea is all about debilitating the enemies with psychic shit
Yea yea yea
Get Blood missiles thrown at you
sounds like a spell trying to target me
Got a problem with that?
since she used to be a literal witch hunter(inquisitor)
though I've reflavoured it so it's more like peepos around her is influenced by her unnerving presence
so focusing on her is difficult
"This does not protect you from area effects like fireball"
Get fucked by Circle of Scarlet
counterspell
Only has a range of 6o feet
Circle of Scarlet got 110 feet range

Imma just push you away with telekinetic
Not like you got a good strenght stat in order to resist it
cause my lighting is shit
nice Worg rider Cannon
tis a Chaos Lord on Karkadrak
oops, Warhammer not DnD my bad
I'm more into DnD than Warhammer that's how I Dare 
tbf rn I am into D&D more then Warhammer
I just have a lot of minis lying around from WH
My Latest Tiefling Paladin
Her Moto: "Speak Sexily and swing a Big ass Sword"
I'm kidding
raised by a single dad and 3 older brothers shes a boyish girl who wishes to become more womanly and get a husband and so she reminds herself to speak more seductively 
Imagine making woman in Heroforge
Real men make 7 feet tall Lizards in Heroforge

Oh forgot to share some stuff I wanted to share
I don't know what her Moto actually is guys
Say an Eldritch Knight only has access to Abjuration and Evocation spells in his main spell list right?
Ik Grim Hollow they could learn all the spells of these two schools of magic too right?
I looked through it I just learned that Eldritch Knights never get 4th lvl spell slots
Sad
Cause in theory they could have cast Circle of Scarlet in Grim Hollow setting then
Would have been cool
But still
There are some cool and pretty useful evocation and abjuration spells from Grim Hollow
List of Grim Hollow spells of the school of Abjuration and Evocation that a Eldritch Knight could learn:
Cantrips: Holy Word
1st lvl spells: Neutralise Aura, Ghost Light, Consumption
2nd lvl spells: Sanguine Shield
3rd lvl spells: Reanimate, Mirror Spell
Ghost Light is decent as an utility spell for the party in dark areas
Sanguine Shield is for a fighter who hasn't got access to Theft of Vitae pretty decent too
1 minute of 15 temporary hp most of the times and you are under half cover
Reanimate and Mirror Spell though are certainly the best you'd get
Reanimate is a revivify but by Blood Magic and is pretty good
So a fighter having access to it and being able to save a party member who is also a melee fighter and therefore probably closer to his fellow fighter then the wizard
And since Fighters got high Hit Dice the spell is also pretty effective with the additional temporary hp effect it has
Mirror Spell though is what I'd say would be the most fun for an Eldritch Knight to use when he has spell casting teammates
Cause the spell allows you to copy spells of 1st and 2nd lvl with guarantee and makes you the caster of the copied spell
And spells above that need an spell check roll
It's also a reaction spell and can used on enemies of course too
Took some better pics
A certified

God I marvel your patience
My OCD would make me go nuts trying this out seriously
One little fuck up of paint and I would go hawkwil
naw just
play Thousand sons
spray paint them all gray
drybrush with flecks of blue
congrats you have ghost marines without the need for detail
or you could play a good faction
Got it, ultramarine heroes it is
my two current dreams for armies (which I'll never do) are
- all cavalry, Khorne Chaos army (AoS)
- all biker Genestealer Cults
I miss when all infantry chaos legions was viable
oh they still are
I just really like cavalry
my csm list is/was an infantry swarm
iirc it was
a chaos lord
a sorcerer
daemon prince
master of executions
x2 10 man csm with melee
x3 10 man csm with shooting
10 khorne berzerkers in a rhino
x2 havocs (one unit with lascannons, one unit with chaincannons)
I CAN FIREBALL
My 8th edition roster was about uhh
3 Chaos Lords (daemon pistol, power sword)
a sorceror in terminator
a master of possesion
a dark apostle
6 obliterators
10 chainfist terminators
3 units of 5 raptors with two meltas
4 units of 5 havocs of each weapon and a squad of 10 lascannons
10x chosen with plasma and chainswords
5x chosen with combi bolter and power axe
Stuff accordingly with normal legionaires and 10x cultists as chaff
with some mix and matching I was doing well against everything but damn necrons and drukhari
that was for 9th ed and creations of bile were actually a faction XD
+1 str and +1 move and if they died before fighting in melee, they'd get to fight anyway
i pity the poor guardsmen looking at those khorne bezerkers
I deliberately took a chaos lord with a relic just to single out a chapter master and go "right havocs, vaporize him"
pity everything tbh
on the charge it was like 50 attacks at str 8 ap -3
Yep you certainly can
they killed everything they got into contact with
Unexpected that Fireball falls under those two categories
Alpha Legion never getting a faction-focused book since 8th will never be forgiven by me
Cannon in theory let’s say I wanted to use a chainsaw
This would count as a 2 handed great weapon?
9th was the first time Creations even got rules full stop
I guess?
But what about when the chainsaw is on
More hit die?
In a scenario where I would do this I assume some mechanic like a spell slot would be used for putting gas in it
So it can’t be abused
no idea
Bro I know exactly what you want to do
What ever could you mean? 
Funny you mentioned, I did homebrew a chain sword a while ago
Teethripper
3kg, 3d4 (Versatile, 3d6) Slashing, 50gp
A teethripper is a sacred weapon of the Sahuagin, ritually carved from a still living sawshark in service to their god Sekolah. The blade writhes and vibrates when close to enemies, hungering to feed off the blood spilled from every strike.
When you are holding this weapon, you gain temporary hit points equal to your current level when rolling initiative. When you have successfully hit with this weapon, you may expend a bonus action to have the blade bite into the creature. The creature takes d8 piercing damage and must make a Con Save with a DC of 13 or become Stunned until the end of your next turn as the blade wracks them with agony. Doing so reduces your movement speed to 0 until the start of your next turn.
We do have a sangromancer maybe I could power it with blood

Wait this is sick I love this
Power and blood you say?
fyi you aren't getting a chainsaw
I know but a guy can dream
Chainsword? To appease our war hammer loving DM
Genius
also no
Okay I can accept that
If my damn phone would let me send gifs I would have send a thousand already in this topic
But what if he makes a pact with a Devil?
And it gives me chainsaw arms

Also Side note I’m surprised that Dragonborn don’t get a bite attack
But I guess j could just say I bite em and it scales with unarmed attack
If I were to do something like that it would be a tavern brawler build though
no
Dragonborn seemingly aren't too scaly enough to get a bite attack
Unlike the Chad Lizardfolk
God I hate that name
Lizardfolk
The most uncreative name and also annoying to use
How dp you desvribe multiple of Lizardfolk?
Lizardfolks?
I'm a Lizardfolk
Lizardfolk is both plural and singular
All sounds so ugh
A lizardfolk and those lizardfolk
Argonians for the win
no that's copyrighted
this isn't Elder scrolls
I don't know man I love any Lizard like look like the Serpentine Yuan-Ti, Argonians from ES
Dragonborn though feel kinda off
Like they are cool
Butt
Their whole name already hints at something
Dragonborn are lesser Dragons
also the Sahuagin
actually Dragonborns aren't decended from dragons
So I feel like standing in the shadow of the mythical cool Dragons
I think they never specific what the real origin was?
Actually, based on the family, Lizards would probably be known as the Squamatians
One of them I heard was that there were created by Dragons to be slave's
Another is that....
Squamat = scaled
They should be called Squamata the rl Scientific order of lizardfolk
Ooh what are those
I'm probably going to be late.
Would like that more then just Lizardfolk
Sa hu agin are fish folk Jo-Rah
But yea while most other animal inspired races are greater versions of the being they represent like humaoid Cats instead of normal Cats, big and intelligent Lizards instead of normal Lizards and so on like with Tortle and all other furry races
Dragonborn are a lesser version of a being
So that's something that to me makes them fundamentally different from most other furry races
or the Kuo Toa like this guy
I wanna enslave him
Evening Aiz0
just wait until you have to fight them under water
suddenly it won't be fun anymore
wait, it's early morning my bad
Lizardfolk got a bit of water breathing I think but are unfortunately not amphibian like Argonians and are as water agile and loving
What are those?
dnd's playable fish-man race
I like this one, but it's downside makes it difficult, unless you play in a water-heavy campaign
Hmm it's pretty strong
the grung is basically a frog-man race, but like, poisonous frogs
But the water thing is a hammer
Ah I know those
There was a good build around that race
they automatically poison anyone touching their skin, and can apply poison to ranged weapons automatically
if you then combine that with grim hollow's "green reaper" ranger
for maximum poison

Just make the party spit on the Grung
you become a deadly Poisonist

shame poison is the most resisted and immunity based elemental damage in the game
yeah
Hold up Aizo maam, why are we giving Cannon and Justin ideas as ways to killus??
but the whole "water dependency" though
having to be submerged for at least an hour every single day, or get exhaustion levels
Yea get ready with maximum poison and fight all the undead who are immune to poison


Gotta have a bag of holding or your dead within the first 3 sessions of the game
you make characters fit for a given campaign world- ish
a poison focused character would scarcely be likely to take on a mission
where everything is immune to them
Well my Sangromancer deals necrotic damage with everyone and now I'm stuck with Undead
Hoping that Cannon doesn't go full undead for the whole campaign
you've still lived in that world prior to the campaign, and are playing something
that evolved/adapted to that world- ish
Would suck for Rhea and Jo-Rah
M31 doesn't either correct??
Hmmm sure that seemed absolutely like it when you wanted to put the Skeleton to sleep

Lucky that Cannon forgot about it himself and let you change your action

true, but in a different sense than Rhea- M31 isn't a "fighter"
but rather an inventor, with a magical suit of armour that she only still have
because those who stole her prototypes couldn't get it off her
Just please not all enemies who resist the one kind of damage I deal 99% of the time
That would get annoying quickly
I just got excited that it didn't have a save applied to it's effect, and forgot that part

But I hope that if that were the case Cannon would have warned me in Session 0
Isn't it so Cannon?
Smoll brain Aizo

I mean, we know we're playing grim hollow- so enemies would likely be undead, vampires, and "maybe" hoomans
but again, most undead fodder doesn't have necrotic resistance
Hey there cab still be lots of different creatures
Rhea's only way to do damage, is psychic- beyond punching something or hitting it with her staff
Beasts and abberations would fit well
no
-2 strenght wasn't it?
-3
She hurts herself while swinging her staff
When she rolls a 1 she actually heals the enemy cause she puts back their spine in the right place

What's that supposed to mean
I also like the implications of Rhea being supposed to gradually become more and more insane
and lose track of what's real and what isn't, as part of being a Venin follower

I mean you wouldn't put allow your player to pick Elf without a warning if Elves are getting hunted by everyone in the setting 
Rhea is technically hunted by the inquisition, though there's a slim chance
they don't know who to look for

I'll just hide behind Jo-Rah if we ever meet them; "look dear sirs, I found a sangromancer for you! I'm just an innocent bystander" slinks away

no I wouldn't tell you
Hey you chose that part of your story

Pulls Rhea back with Telekinectic feat
Nuh uh
It's undetactable
It would seems more like Rhea just got pushed back by the wind
Cause she so smoll and weak


hardly
"oh help me, inquisitors! this mad mage is trying to take me hostage!"
as they can see me being pulled by an invisible force

Sure buddy
I call out your name and also being a magic user
And you ain't getting out either
making an actual inquisitor cleric sometime could also be fun, but like
I think they might be a little overpowered
they won't just take your word for it, only you have done magic

They don't give a fuvk
These guys are ruthless and will kill mothers and fathers infront of their children
could be fun to make an inquisition campaign sometime
where the whole party is part of that group, and you're hunting evil mages
In the book the example of one of their raids was them raiding a family house and killing the mum and capturing the daughter and basically brainwashing her to be a part of the Inquisition
<@&1415565266556813373> we still going for <t:1763236821:F>
dont bother i also cant go longer today
imagine making other plans when it's dnd time
life revovles around dnd, obviously


yee "the box"
Well spoken my fellow addict
Yee
but the daughter was "rescued" by a mysterious peepo
You little memorizing gremlin
I considered literally making that Rhea's backstory
and having the figure be either an avatar of Venin, or one of Venin's subjects
@craggy pelican @agile coyote @burnt storm
@burnt storm @craggy pelican @potent crypt 
@burnt storm
SUMMARY: There was a smuggling ring with weapons and warforged that was being operated by smoke people throughout Kavinor, you've traced the route to Maltor. So far, the biggest suspects are the local mafia. You've used this anti-magic blood to track the movements of the smuggling ring by talking to the leader of the mafia, Aegon, and getting some cover to spy on his brother, Ervin, who is in charge of making weapons and distributing things throughout Maltor. You were promised time and resources at an upcoming ball to dig into Ervin's dealings but you've pre-emptively gone ahead and crashed the bunker where all the operations were being conducted.
@agile coyote
Ervin's here under the guise of "why are you intruding on my turf" but he's also wanting to pry into how much you know.
Intaglio
noice Cannon
With the arrows the full res map is scribbled on a parchment in possesion of elara
Majora, you are being more of a nuisance than a help. Please just listen or don't join sorry
is ok

Weavers tools (Maybe haggle down to 8sp)
2 daggers (try to haggle to 16sp each)
Who that?
just a dood I make
so atm my furr is probably burned off a little on my neck but will my fur cover the mark when it grows back?
if we go realistically, scar tissue won't grow hair
true but the fur will still grow around it
there was no problem here, but @pearl storm just keep in mind that we do need to use the chat for rolls and note-taking, and Aizo needs to use it to communicate 
You guys were busy, sorry if I overstepped
all good, i wasn't too focused on chat as I was DMing things
No worries 
So I might have been playing whilst D&D was on and I might have pulled this off 
<@&1415565266556813373> there's no D&D next week because of work. The 29th will be a huge maybe for us, but that is next week's problem.
Regarding December, the first two Saturdays are the 6th and 13th. Those are probably when we have D&D and then I go home for the holidays. Stay tuned for updates and do lemme know if anything happens

I will say I was a bit hyperactive yesterday too
@dark stream made M31
doing the thing btw
I tried too, but it's not good enough with the abilities of heroforge
even in her suit, she still looks more feminine than heroforge can do robots
if this is her regular form, her armoured form is similar but bigger and bulkier- but still feminine
Making her too?
I'll make that happen
Imma make that happen
God fuck that shit
I can't make this cause it's fully contradictal
Aizo how should M31 look? Sci Fi or just this normal medieval fantasy?
Medieval fantasy but that face with glowing eyes?
Cause I'm trying to go sci fi but get annoyed how the pic is literally just medieval fantasy look
Oh now I see it
@dark stream I made M31 and now you can't tell me it doesn't look feminine
isn't bulky enough

Liking it?
ARE YOU VISUALLY IMPAIRED?!
BITCH THAT ISN'T BULKY EITHER
And you sent me this as a reference pick
"regular form"
I made her slimmer on purpose to make her look feminine
THAT'S WHAT I HAVE CREATED YOU
her model in heroforge should be her armoured form
YOU COULD HAVE SAID THAT BEFORE I SPENT 3 HOURS MAKING HER
AIZO I WILL ^$&$&$&$&$&×_:
No
You called it shitty
And you didn't like it much from what you said
And it looks bulky and not like what you send in that ai image
then sent you the other picture that I told you was her "regular" form
and that her "armoured form" needed to be bigger and bulkier but still feminine"

2iauezhegjefjhwua
Ok fuck off Imma just take the model I made and give her all the things I took to make her more feminine
now you know why I didn't make her a heroforge model

what you made is "okay'ish" for her unarmoured form
but the model needs to be the guardian form, which bigger and bulkier
and heroforge simply doesn't do female robots
also in terms of appearance- imagine junk being put together around a magic source, to create a "suit" which is then polished/cleaned
the world isn't "high tech" per se, as I've understood
but there is magical technology, which is also what warforged are made of
and what artificers work with
Fuck you Aizo I made it happen
@dark stream
Idk what warforged are suposed to look like but looking at it i wouldn't think warforged
YOU BITCH LOOK AT WHAT AIZO SEND AS A REFERENCE IMAGE
You little shitling ITS THE EXACT SAME AS THE PIC SHE SEND
HER AI IMAGE IS LITERALLY A GIRL IN FANTASY ARMOR
Indeed
Is Just to help the imagination 
Her face is more like a screen or visor that shows emotes ^^
Thats how i imagine her like defalt face being Just
^^
Imagine her smaller form as a like slimmer female ultron
Shes a machine afterall
Oh and i think i imagine her bigger form as almost like a small transformer
Hmm maybe more like optimus
but feminine
this is my image of her armoured form, except for this one, it needs to be a little less bulky, and more feminine
Did u have the elven boots and other things ready for use?
WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT FROM THE BEGINNING?! AAAAAHHHHH
closer, but colours need to be more monotone
and look more like an "armoured suit"
she has 

welcome to asian mindset- I cannot settle for "okay"
it needs to match my mind "perfectly"
i think hero forge simply doesn't have the capability to create a good M31
and heroforge simply doesn't do it
yup
samus' suit is probably the closest representation I can think of
her actual suit being close to how I imagine the "infiltrator form" though with smaller shoulders
and her "guardian form" being a bulkier version of samus' suit
ish
if i was allowed to make a dullahan char i wonder how HP would work
probably would just be shared HP
but would be an interesting idea to have a familiar fly my head up so i could actualy see and hear things around
and was wondering what if my head or body alone was attacked
could probably make a sort of character who in their backstory had been cursed, and separated from their "head"
and now are in search for a way to break the curse, and find their head again
a little better on the head 
yeah that's also the best head I found for heroforge
but the body is still masculine
oh so completely without a head?
that sounds interesting
yeah, maybe hide that fact under a helmet or something
I WILL ACTUALLY PUNCH YOU
does dnd have telepathy?

yup, literally there's a feat for it
great i'll add that feet to the char
some characters heroforge simply cannot do

i can make it my paladin of devotion
also
allways wearing armor unwilling to take off my helment and only speaking through telepathy
already sounds like an interesting fellow
You just don't know what you want 
she knows waht she wants, she just doesn't want what heroforge can do
If you tell me that is more feminine then what I do then I don't get it
I gave her a fucking One Piece body just to appease hour femine urge
I like the Naga cause they lean much more into the snake theme then Yuan-Ti
Which one is more often playable? Naga or Yuan-Ti?
Yuan-Ti aren't in Grim Hollow which is the sole reason I ended up going Sangromancer Lizardfolk instead of Yuan-Ti Bladesinger
Missing some arms?
This seems more like what was described in the race guide on DnD wikidot
that's from Mtg
But Naga got arms it says here in the wiki
is also from this specific homebrew thing on world anvil
https://www.worldanvil.com/w/suonenjoki-nikomeg1/a/naga-species
giant snakes with heads that resemble humans
similar to this ??
Are these even playable?
They kinda lack some arms to interact with 90% of DnD stuff
that's from a plane shift release
which is specifically bringing in a race from a different setting (in this case Amonket, which is an mtg setting)
no, they're a monster
I imagined so
Oh so no Naga in any other kinda setting?
not in the forgotten realms anyway
I liked the abilities and features of this playable Naga
not even sure they were in Greyhawk
Meaning? Me still new I don't know anything of other settings besides Grim Hollow
The forgotten realms is the current main D&D setting
Disappointed, shall you remain
Guess Yuan-Ti will have to do incase I wanna play a Sneke race in the future
Gith are still cooler
Gith? Those ugly guys right?
Zarai or Yanki
That got no nose
One of the characters from BG3 was a Gith
And they had a big story there if I remember right
La'zel is gith yes
Githyankii to be exact
👍
And they Giths were slaves to the Mindflayers if I remember right
Githzerai are better
Context?
it's just a mtg monster turned into a dnd monster
emrakul best eldrazi

since you talked races, I looked for eldrazi in dnd, and found the titans turned into dnd bosses
Aizou is Eldrazi (J/K) Aizou
I had a ColdSnap deck

I do want to play my Githzerai Monk I made at some point
free cast of shield from 3rd level btw Aiz 
Giving the "Near Immortal" ideas still Cannon??
monk with a cast of shield 
monks are kind of near immortal anyway if you get to about lv7
what's that grim hollow monk again
IF Cannon IF
leaden crown
way of pride is the one I remember
githzerai, monk of the leaden crown: https://grimhollow.fandom.com/wiki/Monk:_Way_of_the_Leaden_Crown
even before then, they're pretty near impossible to kill
with the dodge as a bonus action for enemy disadvantage on attacking them
the leaden crown monk is the closest we get to a "psychic" monk
would be very themeatic
to be honest, I've never played in the Grim Hollow setting
doesn't seem too strong in terms of abilities tbh
it's my favourite setting so the stuff from it is avalible for any of my games
none of the monk subclasses really are- most monks rely on the infamous "stunning strike"
I always wanted to be a sun soul monk so I can just be Ryu spamming the hadukan
as far as I've heard, the mercy monk is considered the "strongest" purely out of how they actually scale with levels
and focus on one thing, instead of multiple

leaden crown monks can also do ranged unarmed strikes doing force damage
and spend ki to cast "hold person"

and after lv6, they can push and pull enemies when hitting them
why is the Outlander background so ass
for me, I know I made a mercy monk, but I think a way of pride monk would be fun
cause it's in the phb so power creep hadn't set in yet
ruined sets you up with hostilities all over, and nothing to bring with you from your background
Which is amazing for all characters
a ruined wizard might not even start with a spellbook
yeah but is meant to have drawbacks for background tho
I fully expect cannon to have like, groups of previous amazonian allies "hunt" val'kira
BIATCH MY BACKGROUND GIVES ME THE FEATURE OF GETTING FOOD AND WATER PER DAY
though of course it's up to him
The fuck am I supposed to do with that?
It's also nature and wilds based so no luck in dungeons
never have to pay for food
that's extremely strong, yoiu know
if your party cannot provide food and water, you all suffer exhaustion
it's one of the benefits of having a ranger in the party
since they're good at that
Rhea is the same
we're in a dungeon right now, but the inquisition is actively hunting her
wait nevermind
I didn't give her Ruined
she has the lapsed inquisitor

forget I said anything
and M31 is on or getting on a boat and possibly being "hunted"
but they probably still are hunting her XD
M31 just literally has nothing to her name, but used to be famous inventor of renown
for sure
her backstory she killed one of them

meanwhile
Yaromir... is ex-privateer
is why she has nothing but her suit, and no gold at all
and the only reason she even has the suit, is because it magically cannot be removed
But by lvl 12 and 24 free extra hit points are seducing
every background has great benefits

Nuh uh not like that
One extra feat is ridoncolous
But while at it I looked at 2024 backgrounds
as I mentioned during the stream- in 2024 they've made all backgrounds come with a set of feat choices
but they've changed how feats can be taken, by putting them into tier levels
Yea 90% have an feat attached to them
so certain feats cannot be taken early at all
But they are also heavily reduced to like 10 or 12 backgrounds
you can say it's worse, don't worry, we know
5th ed only had 10 to 12 backgrounds when it came out
more just got added over time
Qnd 5.5 didn't just take them with them?
about the sole thing I "like" about 2024, is that "alert" and "heavy armour master" scale with player's proficiency bonus
instead of being a static amount
Every edition of DnD has had different changes made to it
am thinking about homebrewing that as a rule tbh
cause it is better
So humans can't take all their lovely free feat at lvl1 
or in the case of 4th ed... XD
so both start lower, at 2 in early levels- but end up at 6, at level 17+
lets just skip that one okay
I wouldn't be opposed to that- also because alert early(equivalent to +5 dexterity) is kind of insane
Homebrew cool stuff in from 24 if you think they are cool and nice additions
but +2, or soon to be +3 is still really good
and will end up better than the current
Take a little bit of this and that and you got all the good things and none of the things you don't like from the new edition

most of the stuff is just Guide Lines anyway
dunno if I will just because most of the games don't go to the higher levels anyway
so it'd basically just be nerfing them
yeah around 12 ish, is the typical "High level" of a normal campaign
because higher can get ridiculous
is that due to time constraints
well beyond 12th lv, players get rediculous and the enemies that can actually challenge them drastically narrow in variety
I heard a good bunch of enemies got better upscaled in 5.5 since 5e had that problem
like high level enemies are basically just Liches, Ancient Dragons, Archdemons/devils and the Tarrasque
I mean at lvl 20 every DnD character is a god so the only stuff you can do is roleplay
not even- they might be "powerful" at that level, but dnd actually has stuff beyond it, called "prestige"
but again, nobody goes that high
well prestige was a 3rd ed mechanic
On that topic of homebrewing stuff in I will say that if I get a campaign rolling I would defenitly take in weapon masteries and use some homebrew creatures from big DnD creators where I know the stuff is well done
something like that
Weapon masteries are so awesome for melee fighters
because they're stolen from the battlemaster's arsenal, of course other melee likes getting them

Pathfinder 2e is still better
Stop complaining they aren't even the same and are limited to each weapon type
Battlemasters can perform even better with normal weapon masteries and then their maneuvers
I keep hearing peepos like pathfinder, but I don't know much about it

Actually Jo-Rah, Aizo is correct, they are stolen from 3e's Battle master and given to everyone
it was originally just 3.5ed D&D "fixed"
but 2nd ed is it's own thing and it's really good
for example: COMBAT

on your turn you get 3 actions
everything takes an action
so you could move, move, move with your turn
or you could attack, attack, attack
sounds like divinity rules
it's so much more involved
you have a "resource" to spend, and moving costs it, so does attacking or spells
yee
then you unlock special moves through your class and race and they can take 2 or 3 actions to do
yup
literally divinity
can do more smol things, or few bigger things
could be fun
my character was a dampire investigator
that one you mentioned that was weak to the sun, was that this one?
or was it from that other game "the masquerade"
I know the full vampire one is very rp heavy and such
Dampire are the vampires that you have at home
Cause actually playing a vampire isn't so easly possible without your DM leaning into you
Many call vampires the children of the night, but it's dhampirs who can truly claim that title. These mortal offspring of vampires walk the line between life and undeath not just physiologically, but also in their social standing, temperament, and worldview. The circumstances surrounding a dhampir's birth are rare, complex, and often shrouded in...
Dhampir can mess you up
yes, arguably more then D&D does
Kitsune Hunter
I think I was half elf, half vampire
I also made a halfling Rogue that rode a giant dog
Pathfinder was really hard though to set up as an beginner right?
the first system I played was "gurps" I think
Generic Universal Role Playing System
genaric Role playing
weird inferior system that whoever the dm was, liked, so that's what we played
that's the system where I played the "Gorm" musclehead character that was magic resistant
had 4 intelligence(I think), and 27 strength(I think) and had minor magic resistance from background
Oh do you guys know about that Yokai Realm 3rd party setting?
Looked very cool whenever I saw it on sponsors
Very weeb and Asian in its theme
And it doesn't hide it at all
I also made a character for one of the superhero rpgs that was a speedster
he could run over 3 million mph
lv18+ monk for 60ms, add mobile for +10(70), add boon of speed for +30(100)
now ki bonus action dash doubling speed(200), normal action dash doubling it again(400)
and finally be hasted doubling it a final time, for a total of 800ms

I forget what tabaxis do, but I know they also add speed
dash doesn't double your movement, it just lets you move an additional time
so it's 600ft in 6 seconds
ah you're right, it just adds your current speed again after multipliers
yee
Too far already
You ain't ever getting to lvl 18
and tabaxi let's you for free double your movement once between rests
it's only 18 because that's when monks bonus speed from levels caps out

I plan my characters now for like max lvl 12
Cause as most here said and I also see online
Getting past 13 or 14 is rare
Honestly these days getting past level 10 is rare, but not unheard of
but haste doubles movement

so 100 movement from the monk+feats
then haste to get 200, and tabaxi feat to get 400
then bonus dash, and then action dash

Counterspell!
and actually Fireball sucks
nevermind tabaxi can only double their movement when they move, not in preparation
I asked some peeos
So
Weapon masteries apply to your off hand weapon too
SO COOL
Fireball is so cliche it literally sucks ass
Dual handed fighters getting so cool
so it'd be 100ms base, then haste to have 200, then move(trigger tabaxi trait) for 400ms
then keeping that- bonus dash, action dash
I solved it

1200 total ms in a turn
That also means that a Rouge with 2 daggers can dash out 4 attacks
2 per action and bonus action
Although only the first attack will also have modifiers applied to it
Is it apparent that I like the concept of weapon masteries for melee classes?
not sure how 2024 works, but regardless of weapons you're holding, an attack takes a full action
and only uses one weapon
to use the offhand, takes the bonus action
Nah weapon masteries
Daggers have the weapon mastery of letting you do an additional attack with them
No bonus action or anything
So that's why what I said about the 4 attacks a turn works fully
Main action a mastery attack and offhand bonus action mastery attack
so basically just gives rogues a way to get "extra attack" that they don't normally get

to be specific, where I think you mistook something is the "when taking the attack action"
using your bonus action to attack with your offhand is not "taking the attack action"

so you still only get two "main hand attacks" but your "bonus action" is free- instead of normally having to use it to make the extra attack
though you can choose to still use it to make that 3rd attack with your off-hand
Anyways look at them Aizo
nevermind, you can't even make the 3rd attack
The 2024 Player's Handbook has dropped, and with it comes a slew of new updates, changes, and additions to everyone’s favorite tabletop RPG. One of the most exciting and highly-anticipated updates is the new weapon mastery system.
the trait makes you unable to bonus action attack
Tell me your optimizer brain doesn't love them
nope, battlemaster stolen abilities

you can do these things in normal dnd anyway, simply tell your dm you want to "sweep" the enemy off their feet with your weapon
you just won't get added bonuses to them, unless battlemaster
my issue with the 2024 having taken battlemaster's maneuvers, is that you now do get these added bonuses
and the only benefit a battlemaster gets, is that the attack is stronger- as long as they have superiority dice
Bro you should be even happier as a Battle Master cause you can now have 60% of your maneuvers and 3 of them free
It literally is a benefit to the class
this is the thing you meant with daggers, I think? it's pretty much only good for rogues 
since they're the only melee class that don't normally get "extra attack"
Nuh uh you can have practically more maneuvers
you don't even use anywhere near that many different ones

Also fuck Battle Master if that one subclass must die for that cool feature then I'm fine with it
Then what's your problem?
Battle Masters can do their maneuvers with ANY weapon
Where as weapon masteries are tied to the weapon and class
Val'kira's main maneuvers are "Parry" and "Riposte"
beyond that, it's very limited what she wants, or what fits her
quick toss, trip attack, and that's basically it
Not all fighters get all weapon masteries but they learn a good bunch
not 2024 promoting fighters become zoro from one piece
carrying around 10 different weapon types on their back
since switching weapons can be done in a turn

What does parry and riposte do?
Hell yea
Fighters aren't just I can hit enemy but I have studied the art of combat and learned many weapon fighting styles
That's literally so cool and so mch needed flavour to fighters
- Parry is a reaction upon an enemy "hitting me", that reduces damage I take based on a superiority die roll + my dex
- Ripose is a reaction upon an enemy "missing me", that lets me retaliate with an attack back at the enemy who missed me- adding super die to damage
See
Both of those aren't weapon masteries
Your ass lying
Battle Masters still got more then enough to hold on to and can do even more
The closest to Parry is this

And with that I conclude my final statement
Weapon Masteries are awesome
I love them
They are a good addition
"cleave" is "sweeping attack" maneuver(but better..)
"grace" is unique 
"nick" is just extra attack for rogues
"push" is "pushing attack maneuver, without the added damage
"sap" is just "menacing attack" maneuver, without the fear
"slow" is just the slasher feat, added to non-slashing weapons(I hope they change the slasher feat, then)
"topple" is just "trip attack" maneuver, without added damage
"vex" is just "feinting maneuver"
I agree, they make sense and are good for martial classes

they just take away from battle master
are you forgetting something
not to forget, to even do the battle master maneuvers, you spend super dice
"When the spell ends, the target can’t move or take actions until after its next turn, as a wave of lethargy sweeps over it."
oh that's fine- you're already 1200ms away in a single turn

it's like that meme of a player making an AC 30 tortlle
and the DM going "Cool gimme a dex save"
lv20 paladin tortle, with feat to add proficiency in dex, and with the shield master feat, a +3 shield and 20 dex and charisma
that's 5 base from dex, +5 from aura of protection for total of 10, +6 from proficiency, that's 16, +5 from the shield, that's +21 to dex saves
with the shield master feat


Then critisize them for not redoing Battle Master in 2024
But good that you agree
Great. Now go make a dexterity saving throw cause the BBEG just pushed you into a 100 feet deep pit

actually, let's take it a step further, we're not a paladin, we're an artificer
so no aura of protection, instead we have the "soul of artifice" and are attuned to 6 different items, 2 of them being ring of protection and cloak of protection
so we're instead at +24 to dex saves with shield master
feather fall

The BBEG used Counterspell
or actually not even, I'd just use my boots that let me fly

The BBEG summoned twenty red dragons who all attack you
with?
Everything of each
5 with their claws
5 with their breath
5 with spells
5 with their jaws
God I love being a DM
40 rust monsters attack you and chip away your armor and gear
they still have to hit me

just so you're aware- the lv20 artificer trait "soul of artifice" increases your saves by +1 for each attuned item
of which at that level you can have 6- 2 of which further increases it by 1 each, for a total of +8 to all my saving throws
on top of what I already have- add to that 34ac
So still 10 dragons attacking you with full force
and all this is passive, with me doing nothing
Blah blah blah
breath attacks let me roll a dex save, which is at +24, and I take no damage if I succeed due to shield master
I cast not invited to DnD session

And with that final attack I now go and sleeo
welcome to why dms don't do lv20
I already said lvl 20 characters are all gods so it's nothing special

It's special if you are lvl 6 or 8 and do crazy stuff
Or lvl 10 and 12
Anyway
Sleep
sweet dreams ~
