I like the weapin thing though

pearl storm
#

I like the first two rules

dark stream
#

gives martial classes a means of scaling their damage through levels, like caster classes

pearl storm
#

IT WAS JUST AN EXAMPLE

dark stream
#

normally, a lv20 barbarian pretty much only does the same damage as a lv1 barbarian- if the lv20 haven't found a better weapon by the grace of the dm

#

though of course they get "extra attack" to kind of make up for it

#

also makes gold actually meaningful

dark stream
#

just important to make sure the tiers kind of goes with the levels

pearl storm
#

What I liked was grievous wounds

#

Ghostfire did a vid on Grievous Wounds and resting

dark stream
#

so you "might" be able to get a +1 fairly early if you gather gold- but you couldn't get a +2 before maybe around 10
and only later, reach +3

hollow plume
pearl storm
#

I like Grievous Wounds as a punishment of when a character had to do death saving throws

#

Not a permanent thing

hollow plume
pearl storm
#

But something to overcome and live with for a little while after they have nearly died

dark stream
pearl storm
#

I think I may have heard about it once

pearl storm
#

They make great videos

dark stream
#

you all talking about grievious wounds and shock mechanic reminded me of one of their bits in the video I sent

#

where one of them is at 1 hit point, but still wants to do physical work

hollow plume
#

There's also things like aimed shots and whatnot

#

But too many rules and it doesn't become fun

dark stream
#

I'm a huge fan of aimed/called shots when I play archer classes- specifically the homebrew "zen archer"

hollow plume
dark stream
#

also because archers speficially get the "archery fighting style"
that elevates their "to hit" rolls by +2, over what other weapons can reach

#

so I like to take advantage of that extra "to hit" chance

#

I'd like to play the zen archer in a campaign, but it's homebrew
so have to get permission each time

dark stream
# dark stream

the one I posted here is essentially a revamped "kensei" made for archery

pearl storm
dark stream
#

anything else than archery still suffers all the disadvantages of called shots

#

only archery gets an extra +2 to hit, that nothing else gets

#

but it's fun when it works

pearl storm
hollow plume
#

@dark stream I have at some point written a Japanese vampire campaign set during the 1st Mongol invasion-

#

Kyuketski clans working under the shotgun to fight the fleet and the yaoguai that have joined the fight

pearl storm
#

I think I made my final "average" Sanguine Warforged

pearl storm
dark stream
#

my primal spirit barbarian-- the bear is supposed to be a giant red panda
but you can't make red pandas in heroforge

#

I could also make it an owl, but I don't think you can have a big owl besides your character in heroforge either

dark stream
#

can't make the owl bigger

dark stream
#

I think it'd be fun to play primal spirit barbarian

pearl storm
#

Gather some people around to join my campaign and you coud play her

dark stream
#

proper beast master class

hollow plume
# dark stream

Run an ancestral barbarian archer that has high dex and rages with archery

#

Ancestral protectors means you can snipe an enemy and they are forced to target you

pearl storm
#

One of the coolest things is also that you can have it be literally anything

#

It can look like a Dragon or Bear or Shark

#

A giant Owl

#

And you can change its form everytime it dies too

#

Man this gives me now ideas

#

You can make an Orochimaru

#

Now have a spellcaster who casts enlarge on it and have everyone ride on itpotastLOL

#

could I do some relic stuff before we leave?
I got almost 500gp

hollow plume
#

Uhhh not before you leave no

#

It usually requires a dedicated blacksmith

#

Here lemme get the stats

#

50gp makes it +1

#

100gp makes a 20+ a crit

#

200gp gives an additional damage dice

#

300gp gives it a relic trait at my discretion

#

And a questline to get it

dark stream
#

could M31 serve that purpose? having expertise in smith's tools

#

making ordinary items into magical ones is what she does, after all

hollow plume
#

Unfortunately not yet

#

Dw I have plans for her too

dark stream
#

we're only lv6 yet after all

plush thicket

I mean we're basically gods at this point

The DnDBeyond website is ass

#

Anyway this

#

and

#

"You get an +2 to Constitution and a plus 1 to any ability score of your choice"

#

"Sanguine Warforged have a weakness to poison"

#

"You get the Crimson Lash spell at level 1 and the Sense Lifeblood spell at level 3. You can cast these spells once before you have to take a long rest to replenish them. You choose the spell modifier for these spells at level 1 when you choose this race."

Mom Jo-rah's hyperfixating on Crimson Lash again

What can I say I love it

puts a curse on jo-rah so he can't use crimson lashpotastBoomer1

pearl storm
#

Nah just the best 1st lvl sangromancy spell to give

#

Blood Rush is a heal that's cool but not enough flavour to me and Consumption is too strong for my feeling to be for free but also just not fitting well into the flavour of the race

ill just ask for future - if we continue we use same characters or make new?

No but in all honesty I don't think at all that you will make new characters

I wanna bring dota items and spells to D&D. "This item makes me magic immune for two rounds, except to gorgons and really fat undead." "This item drains my HP to raise my strength stat." "Once per long rest I can turn everyone in my party invisible." "The more enemies my AOE spell hits, the more powerful it becomes."

pearl storm
#

Realizing DnD doesn't have to be completly be uptight but you can add small stuff here and there to make it more interesting

potent crypt

dota is a game potastAyaya

burnt storm
#

Mirana also tosses a stun in a straight line which has a disadvantage to hit. There's a character who can cast mirror image on everyone he is hunting and swap places with any image, like a weird ranger ability. And there's a dude whose main damage is glyphs which he can also move very slowly.

Been binge watching Vox Machina Season 3 a good bit today

In this video, I will be going over the top 10 feats you can hand out to players that wonโ€™t break the game at your table. Feats can be incredibly powerful, but not all feats are created equally. Some of these feats are low enough in power to be able to be handed out as a reward to one of your players without disrupting the game any more than g...

Man I'm looking through the Grim Hollow subclasses again and damn the Circle of Blood Druid is perfect

#

The abfliegen are all amazing and build on each other and are just cool

#

And Rite of the Blood Moon is so strong and flavourfull

#

I am still a bit mad that Sangromancy wizards didn't get a real life drain feature and even their lvl 6 feature is still a bit boring while good (although the hp you get through the Lvl of Sangromancy spell you cast could be a tad bit higher in my opinion)

Hmm I like this a lot

#

Although I imagine it may be a bit harder for beginners but I think that's nit the case since they say they got traditional ones too to just take

#

I am excited for the next book a lot

pearl storm

Cool stuff

Lore on the factions

plush thicket
#

well you may or may not run into those factions

#

we shall see

pearl storm
#

Kicking my feet and giggling like a school girl under ny blanket

plush thicket
#

may not is also part of that statement

pearl storm
#

Well you could have just said that we won't encounter them for sure and just be in a Dungeon for the rest of the campaign

#

So a may or may not is hype

plush thicket

may or may not means I'm not telling you shit

pearl storm

I may or may not wanna tell you to fuck yourself

Well fuck, I watched all of Vox Machina (the animated series)

#

What am I gonna watch now for DnD stuff?

plush thicket
#

Vox machina the live show

#

only 120 episodes

#

shouldn't take you more then a week

pearl storm
#

Well i could

#

Although it's not the same

#

But atleast I wouldn't have to watch that weirdo and cheater who was at the beginning of their live show with them

#

By the way I learned about Ghostfire Gamings Heritage System and I love it

#

Excited to see what traits and all the Grim Hollow races will have in GH Transformed

pearl storm
#

Been watching more Ghostfire Gaming videos

#

Man I love them

#

I think the cult one was a really good video that I can recommend to anyone DMing or just interested in the writing stuff

#

Now I also found out what the Heritage system is

#

I love it

#

My only concern is how it will be to implement races that aren't on the list to the system

#

The Accursed are there for that but I fear that the different races not from the system will not be able to translated as well in it

#

And making them all feel less special or unique

#

I got today an idea for a new character. Highway Rider Rogue and Disembodied race.

#

Got a good story or moreso character, personality and some core events

#

Depending on it I might not have a full on backstory in the classic sense with going all the way back to the childhood

@plush thicket

pearl storm
#

What are the rules on guns in Grim Hollow and in general?

plush thicket
#

have you seen the one that turns it into a rogue-like?

hollow plume
#

i have, yes

timid siren
#

Updated the look of my god of peace

hollow plume
#

work is underway

plush thicket
hollow plume
#

This will probably help yall when following the paper trail of plot points

pearl storm
#

So looking through Highway Rider and how Rogues generally work

#

So going on from level 3 I would be able to nearly always do sneak attack

#

Since all I need to do is just walk 20 feet

#

Which is even easier to do as a Rogue since I can do the dash action just with a bonus action

#

So a pistol and sneak attack

#

At lvl 3 is 1d10 and 2d6

#

At lvl 4 I can take a frat to ignore the loading of Guns

#

So I can dual wield pistols

potent crypt
#

Multiclass artificer to make gunpotastHmm

pearl storm
#

1d10 and 2d6 + proficiency bonus and another 1d10 on bonus action if I don't want to dash/disengage/hide

#

And the longer I go in the class and get stronger sneak attacks the more damage per turn I will be able to make

#

And that damage every turn I hit

#

And if I miss first attack I can still try to do sneak attack with bonus action gun

pearl storm
#

Though I wonder how it is? Will I have to hope that DM lets me buy pistols since I don't think you can start with them as a Rogue

#

Could maybe ask if it's alright to just start with pistol and give up crossbow or bow up for it

#

Or even the longsword option

#

Now besides all that Rogue gets out of combat stuff with skills and expertise which is pretty cool

dark stream
pearl storm
#

Yea I know no ability modifier on them

#

Hmm proficiency bonus still applies to offhand weapons?

plush thicket
#

you won't be proficient with guns

dark stream
#

he's talking about the highway rider subclass- automatic "blackpowder pistol" proficiency at lv3

#

but of the grim hollow rogue subclasses, I'm more interested in the misfortune bringer

#

seems hilarious

plush thicket
#

then where is this 1d10 coming from?

#

the black powder weapons don't deal 1d10 damage

dark stream
#

I have no idea, haven't looked up guns in dnd ever

pearl storm
plush thicket
#

that's not what grim hollow black powder weapons do

pearl storm
#

I don't know if there are special ones for Grim Hollow cause in the server I asked no one answered it

dark stream
pearl storm
#

Ah guns are among the advanced weapons?

dark stream
#

simply cause all the enemies to be.. "unlucky" during combat

pearl storm
#

So Grim Hollow blackpowder pistols are 2d4

#

Yea still nothing denstrumental

#

There is only one thing I think the highway rider or specifacally any build using the blackpowder weapons are really annoying at

#

That being that they are fucking loud

#

Like once you go into combat you can bet your ass you won't be leaving it until all enemies in the vicinity of 300 feet are dead

#

Got it already

#

I only gotta think of feats to take now

#

And also I found out Rogues get 6 feats I thin in total

#

More importantly they get at lvl 10 a feat too

#

So on blackpowder weapons I still get dexterity ability modifier on it?

#

If that is the case I did some test rolls

#

2d4 + dex 4 + pb 2 + sneak attack 2d6

#

All on lvl 3

#

On average they end up to an 17 atleast or to an 20

pearl storm
#

Not sure about the Background yet but the skills will probably all stay the same cause I'm stuck between 3 backgrounds who all are in a similiar vein and therefore similiar skills

#

The more lvl1 character concepts I make the more I notice that the average character roll isn't that great cause look at that

#

Only 2 for dex and 1 for con

#

Everything stuck around 12 or 11 without race modifiers

#

I really was lucky on my first rolls while making Jo-Rah

hollow plume
pearl storm
#

6 ability skill improvements in total

#

Counting in all from lvl 4 to lvl19

hollow plume
#

I have never seen this before, that's honestly kinda frightening

#

If you went human too, that's technically seven feats

naive moss
#

If you took a background you could go to 8

#

You can get 9 if you go fighter

pearl storm
#

Right and depending on vversion of 5e you can ahve kinda lawys a feat at from lvl 1

#

But yea to me the important thing is a feat on lvl 10

#

I expect the average go to be till lvl 13 or 12 so everything there from lvl 1 to lvl 13 is the important stuff to me

#

4 feats if the campaign goes to lvl 12

#

Nice

dark stream
#

knocks on woods

plush thicket
#

it's true

#

they all die before lv10

pearl storm
pearl storm
hollow plume
#

It's a class that gets thrown into the limelight for all the jokes about stealing, robbing, stealth etc but past that point people either multiclass or uh. Die from their shenanigans

#

I had a single rogue go up to level 12 arcane trickster but he was more of a pirate than a thief

plush thicket
#

the rogue I almost played was going to be almost a ranger/tracker

pearl storm
#

Let me be Highway Rider and I bet you I'll never die

potent crypt
#

I won't die i got M31 to shield me potastSip

dark stream
#

we will definitely go all the way in justin's campaign

#

surely

dark stream
#

seems like fun

#

mastermind can do the "help" action from 30ft range, and as a bonus action

#

for the misfortune bringer, you can just make enemies fall over on their turns, and lose their movement

dark stream
plush thicket
#

Her backstory was gonna be that she was trained as an army scout

pearl storm
dark stream
#

maybe for meta nobodies who only powergame

#

zero personality

#

point is, is fun for roleplay

pearl storm
#

Whatever you say Mr Bigbrainkappa

dark stream
#

super charismatic rogue who manipulates peepos through charisma/deception and aids allies as such

#

seems fun

dark stream
#

the different "misfortunes" the misfortune bringer can conduct upon targets of their evil eye

dark stream
plush thicket
# dark stream

for some reason, when I go to the site, the top 6 options are smooshe together and it's impossible the read XD

dark stream
# dark stream

feels like an alternative to the arcane trickster- you're a rogue, and then you have a few resources
for a little shenaniganery

plush thicket
#

Scout can sneak attack twice in a turn

dark stream
#

the evil eye let's the misfortune bringer sneak attack regardless of advantage or not
as long as you don't have disadvantage

plush thicket
#

when you attack as an action, you can make an additional attack as a bonus action which can benefit from sneak attack

#

You also get advantage on initiative and if you hit someone before their turn in the first round, you get advantage

#

Scout has one of the best capstone features imo

#

just double attack and sneak attack on a class that is always one and done is so good

dark stream
#

scout seems fun both mechanically, but also roleplay wise

#

sneaking ahead, making sure there's no traps or ambushes and such

plush thicket
#

yee, I've wanted to play one for a while

#

but then SOME OTHER PLAYERS
made a party that would have had 4 lv1 rogues in it potastLOL

dark stream
#

the misfortune bringer rogue feels a little bit like battle master-
you also recover the jinx points on short rests

#

of course it's still a rogue, so not a toe-to-toe battler

pearl storm
#

Looking at Scout and it seems ok

plush thicket
#

more classes should get stuff from short rests

pearl storm
#

Not ehat I'd want to play but cool

dark stream
#

you can add 1d12 necrotic damage when something gets hurt within range for only 1 jinx point
but like, it's also just damage, and could risk it only being 1 damage

on the other hand, can spend 3 jinx points, and make an enemy who tries to move
fall over their own feet and go prone/lose remaining movement

#

seems more fun, and potentially give advantage to allies hitting them

pearl storm
dark stream
#

my vision of a misfortune rogue, they wouldn't use daggers
but rather either thrown weapons/knives, or hand crossbows

plush thicket
#

ooh that'd be cool

#

What race would thematically fit pHmm

dark stream
#

is there an unlucky race?

#

maybe a black tabaxi

pearl storm
#

You know the Sanguine Thief that is coming out is supposed to have an ability making yourself blood daggers and he seemingly can be really good at knife throwing

dark stream
#

something sneak and devious, maybe with a history in the faewild

#

the subclass itself does mention being the child of a hag or witch and such

#

could possibly pick up the "lucky" feat early on
and roleplay that your character is inherently blessed with luck
but they're only lucky because they drain the luck from those around them

plush thicket
dark stream
pearl storm
#

ALthough I know currently is not the time for you ans you might not wanna play with someone who is still new

pearl storm
#

In the next Grim Hollow there is the race Accursed

dark stream
# plush thicket quick 5 min mini

his/her [insert parental figure/patron/guardian] tried all they could teaching us magic
but somehow, something always went wrong, as if fate itself was against it.. so unlucky MomoEvil

and as the campaign moves along, we slowly learn to focus this "unluck" to various effects

#

or something like that

plush thicket
#

yee

#

would be cool

#

always too many characters and not enough campaigns to play them in PepeLaugh

dark stream
#

either that, or we go the other way, where things always seem to go our way, at the cost of others for some reason messing up
and again, we slowly understand what it is, and learn to focus it

hollow plume

High dex means nothing to "Command"

This can be a superb opportunity for pur fellow DMs to game a bit too again and test some builds you had in mind

the parasite warlock is pretty interesting, because you're essentially playing as your own patron

#

Oh gey Aizo by the way

#

A subclass that is coming up in the soon released Grim Hollow Transformed (overworked version of Grim Hollow) is a Wizard who studies Gods and Demons and can use those powers and stuff from them without being in a pact with one or a cleric

#

Like healing stuff, Eldritch Blast and pact magic

#

And you can always decide on each long rest in what study you wanna go into

#

Each Grim Hollow subclass empowers you to play DnD as an anti-hero, whether you're a Rogue who wields blood magic or a Paladin who took an oath of slaughter!

If you wanna see him start at 8:50

it's not a magic you can study to "learn" it's a granted/gifted power for warlocks
and clerics don't lorewise "cast spells" they act as prisms for their god's power

Wizard go Revivify

You should atleast watch it before judging itpotastLOL

The book probably explains how they are doing it or giving options to it

It could be by siohoning holy objects that an Seraph touched or gave someone

only classes with access to healing is those connected to the divine, or primordial nature

dark stream
hollow plume
#

i'm with Aizo

dark stream
#

interesting idea, but doesn't make sense lorewise, it a wizard cannot learn these things and still be a wizard

hollow plume
#

wizards can't learn smite spells and neither should they

plush thicket
#

smite is an ability and not a spell kappa

hollow plume
#

and neither should a wizard learn revivify, the best they can do is raise dead until they get the powerful resurrection spells

hollow plume
plush thicket
dark stream
#

the only way to get access to healing spells, is through being chosen by the divine or the primordial, you cannot study to learn it
and eldritch blast is the same- though you could argue either could be "mimicked"

plush thicket
#

too late, now you look like a fool

pearl storm
dark stream
#

it would work'ish if it was a sorcerer subclass and not a wizard subclass

#

sorcerer already have divine soul, and warlock has the celestial patron

hollow plume
dark stream

but a wizard having access to these are no longer a wizard

so whats the idea a wizard tried to study the magic of warlocks to see how their powers manifest and try to replicate it?

hollow plume
#

it took Acererak multiple tries and several wish spells to attain his near godhood

potent crypt
#

idea i had is probably also not possible but seems better then just somehow taking their power or whatever

dark stream
#

that would entail the wizard being more powerful than both arch seraph and arch daemon
both of which are as omnipotent, as not being omnipoten gets

#

would require something like elminster level of power

pearl storm
#

Not gonna lie Arch Seraphs and Deamons are kinda weak though

dark stream
potent crypt
#

now rules and lore and such are there to make sure stuff doesn't get to ridiculous and out of hand but the idea of dnd is that u can use ur imagination for anything to happen right?

dark stream
pearl storm
#

Im the world of Grim Hollow I can see this cause the gods are literally dead and even the strongest ones on the evil side

potent crypt
#

so they are just breaking some of the rules to make a cool class

hollow plume
#

where's that abridged guide again:

Wizard: your power comes from beign smart enough to understand magic
Warlock: you got a patron who throws you curveballs
Bard: you can sing magic into creation
Paladin: your power comes from conviction
Cleric: your power is gifted from worship
Ranger and Druid: your power comes from the land

dark stream
#

but really, even saying that, your class now no longer have access to that side's powers

dark stream
#

a dm in a campaign can rightfully take away a paladin or cleric or warlocks powers, if they don't follow their deity/patron/oaths ways

hollow plume
dark stream
#

I think that's really fun for rp stuff

hollow plume
#

had an NPC lose his oath because he betrayed his town

#

and I bargained to have my paladin lose 3 levels to heal someone to multi as a level 3 fighter

pearl storm
#

Yea in the vid they also suggest that as a Daemonologist you would rightfully be hunted down by both sides of the spectrum

#

You are a rare breed cause those who try to steal from the gods and demons alike do not live long

potent crypt
#

how would u steal from them?

hollow plume
potent crypt
#

it's not like their power comes from something like an item of a specific body part

#

their magic or power is inate? is that the word?

pearl storm
#

Again I think it's cool and works for the Grim Hollow setting cause the Arch Seraphs and Daemons are just fundamentally weaker then gods and so may even not be able to keep their source of power limited to them or be weak enough to be sourced by someone

dark stream
#

one side is "gifted power" the other is "miracles" where the cleric solely acts as a prism for the god's power

they get their powers form the gods u mean?

dark stream
#

this weird wizard subclass is what you might find in a dnd villain

dark stream
#

no low level character can achieve anything of that sort

potent crypt
#

i want more fun stealth rogue subclasses potastSip

dark stream
#

though you can always backstory good reasons for it

potent crypt
#

call it shadow or something and give u illusion magic where u can turn into shadow and be almost completely silent when moving even in heavy armor

dark stream
#

like you were actually a warlock and a cleric at one point, but your real class was wizard, and during the time spent under the patron and deity
you simply worked to mimic their might, and then ran away

potent crypt
#

or maybe while being a warlock u somehow manage to use the connection between u and ur god to "steal" their power in a way they have no control over?

#

idk how that would be achived but thought it was a fun idea

#

maybe u conspire with another god to help u in this endevor

#

shackling ur patron to basicaly become ur overpowered servant

potent crypt
#

and u now have "free" reign of their power

dark stream
pearl storm
#

LITERALLY

potent crypt
potent crypt
#

no yelling

potent crypt
#

also jeannies live probably has to focus on stream a little

pearl storm
potent crypt
#

a blood thief?

#

a vampire rogue does sound kinda cool potastHmm

#

get a like version of misty step where u turn into a swarm of bats

dark stream
potent crypt
#

i just want a super stealthy rogue potastSip

hollow plume
dark stream
#

but as I said, anything is possible with a well-written backstory

hollow plume
potent crypt
#

oh and that special thing could be the aid of another god as i mentioned

hollow plume
#

tbf drow rogues are already very sneaky

#

but it's not how high your stealth score is, it's how creative you are with being unseen kappa

potent crypt
potent crypt
dark stream
#

and the boots literally "makes your steps completely silent"

potent crypt
#

how do i get these boots?

dark stream
#

make a compelling backstory so you start with them, or plead for your dm to have them in a magic shop you come across

hollow plume
#

E Z

dark stream
#

or, ask your friendly neighborhood artificer to create them

hollow plume
#

distract, misdirect and run

hollow plume
potent crypt
potent crypt
#

also M31 can make the boots potastBoomer1

pearl storm
potent crypt
#

i just figure they have more use helping our not so stealthy party members

pearl storm
#

Slashing and literally stealing their blood to fuel their next attacks

potent crypt
#

hmm

plush thicket
potent crypt
#

right so it's a subclass that falls under the sangromancy school of magic

#

is a rogue/wizard like arcane trickster but with blood magic

#

thats cool

dark stream
#

ideally I'd like to have all my attunement stuffs on everyone else

potent crypt
#

how much would a ship cost?

#

the blimp was what 20k?

#

or was it morepotastHmm

potent crypt
#

just thinking if yaromir ends up staying behind again lets get him/us a ship he can be the captain of and have him take us to the various destinations we need to go to

plush thicket
potent crypt
#

now buying it is an option but we probably won't be able to afford it so we could maybe steal one potastSip

plush thicket
#

lets just keep these other dummys alive long enough

dark stream
#

lv10 I can make cloak of protection as well

potent crypt
#

dummy reporting for duty

dark stream
#

and the defence/offence things become +2

plush thicket
#

cloak of protection
winged boots

#

there's a few things that'd be cool for Yaromir

dark stream
plush thicket
#

but he's pretty stronk already

dark stream
#

at lv10, I can also have 4 infusions active at once

#

infusions = magic items/enchantments

plush thicket
#

besides, I'm sure Justin will give me some magic items...

#

right...?

pearl storm
#

Look at this cool art for the Sanguine Thief

#

So cool

pearl storm
#

right....?

plush thicket
#

you get spell scrolls when you earn them

hollow plume
plush thicket
#

how much do items cost again?

hollow plume
potent crypt
#

steals spell scrolls

hollow plume
plush thicket
#

do they stack tho?

#

cause I do technically have enough for all 3 of those XD

pearl storm
#

Circle of Scarlet and Theft of Vitae on you

potent crypt
#

misty step and hides before u can cast any spells

plush thicket
#

jokes on you I never had spells to start with

pearl storm
#

I have an pretty high Investigation and Perception skill from what I remember

#

So get outta here

dark stream
#

jokes on you

plush thicket
pearl storm
#

Oh sdon't worry its not on you

#

It's going to Val

dark stream
#

val is hidden, can't hit what you cannot see

plush thicket
#

meanwhile I have bonked you and you died in one hit

potent crypt
#

2 more levels and u literaly can't see me cuz then i get to have invisibility potastSip

pearl storm
#

I wouldn't hurt a Bulwark Warrior they are too coll

potent crypt
#

couldn't*

plush thicket
#

also you literally can't hurt me

#

I'm functionally immortal

pearl storm
#

Sure

#

That's what they all see till they get blasted with Snese Lifeblood empowered Msgic Missiles and Theft of Vitae cast immediately after as a reaction

plush thicket
#

you don't have enough spell slots to kill me

potent crypt
#

except u can't cast all of those in 1 turn

plush thicket
#

I have too many hit points

dark stream
#

has brooch of shielding
is immune to magic missile

potent crypt
#

lv.6 chars bullying a lv.2 wizard potastLOL

plush thicket
#

even if he was lv6, he still couldn't kill me

pearl storm
#

I'm gonna find that boi

hollow plume
dark stream
plush thicket
dark stream
potent crypt
dark stream
#

you're not investigaing anything- if instead you want to track him, it'd be survival

#

or was it nature

#

dm knows

potent crypt
#

i like to think that since liger is a tabaxi and has claws i can climb on any surface made of wood cuz i can just put my claws into them so i can climb upside down across beams in the roof in stealth

pearl storm
pearl storm
potent crypt
#

takes on 3 main chars kicks their ass

#

i prefer he remains nameless and faceless but i do want this guy to be an official and returning char

dark stream
#

you can do that

potent crypt
#

specificaly piced tabaxi cuz i wanted the stealth and claws of cats

#

also i figured they would have dark vision

#

seems important for a class based around stealth

pearl storm
plush thicket
#

that's half of what Val gets to hide

pearl storm
pearl storm
potent crypt
#

exactly potastSip

#

and ur gonna find me

plush thicket
#

I am kinda interested in which party would win in a fight

#

assuming they were the same level of course

dark stream
#

this rogue trait is fun

#

lowest roll you can do with anything you're proficient in, is 10

#

before additions

pearl storm
potent crypt
#

could be fun

pearl storm
#

Although that would be a biz difficult with Aizo having to play two charactersKEKW

plush thicket
#

and sneke playing two characters

pearl storm
#

Oh shit right

potent crypt
#

they just have to pick who's their favorite potastSip

#

which is clearly us ofc

pearl storm
#

Sneke is not often enough here so I forget about him

plush thicket
#

I do think Justin's party wins, I think the rogues carry unironically

pearl storm
#

I often forget Myrdle too

plush thicket
#

like they just wouldn't be found

potent crypt
#

targets aizo first cuz of the random effect thingy

#

also caster= squishy

plush thicket
#

rogues are also squishy

potent crypt
#

true

#

but hard to hit

pearl storm
potent crypt
#

assuming we won't targer jo-rah and Rhea first potastSip

pearl storm
#

Once at half hp it gets very easy for Jo-Rah to finish them off

pearl storm
dark stream
#

casts "fear" now none of the rogues can even approach me

pearl storm
#

Then we still got Tuan the Warlock

#

He is probably gonna Eldritch Blast you all too and can go Nova with some big spells

potent crypt
#

misty steps behind u and gets the benefit of suprise attack and hits u with booming blade

#

a good role and ur not getting a turn or a second turn

plush thicket
pearl storm
#

Myrdle is also there and I am just gonna assume she is gonna be a Vermin Lord

dark stream
#

yup, the stealth is the biggest issue

pearl storm
#

Which will be good

dark stream
#

they'll likely get surprise on us

#

unless Rhea somehow spots them with her passive perception

plush thicket
#

that's what I'm saying

#

the rogues just burst down the casters whilst staying safe

potent crypt
#

have M31 give me and sparks stealth items as well potastBoomer1

pearl storm
#

If Sense Lifeblood would actually do what the name suggests I could sense them but it doesn't do that weirdly enough potastLOL

potent crypt
#

and elara can open with a fireball

plush thicket
#

and M31 and Yaromir are tankier then the GH fighters

pearl storm
pearl storm
plush thicket
#

counterspell

#

Elara has it as well

dark stream
potent crypt
#

does that disable it or turn it around on the caster?

dark stream
#

clerics and monks generally have the highest perception

pearl storm
plush thicket
#

other thing is, the GH party is much more reliant on spellcasting

pearl storm
#

Don't remembee anymore how the perceptio is getting calculated but my sheet says 15FeelsSpecialMan

dark stream
pearl storm
#

Jo-Rah wins again

potent crypt
#

hypoteticaly if we did wanna try party vs party what level would we pick?

plush thicket
#

I would assume bring everyone up to 6

pearl storm
#

Anywas Rhea can possibly make spellcasters not use half of their spells cause of the Eldritch effects

potent crypt
#

good for them cuz at 7 i get shadow blade which is psycich dmg

potent crypt
pearl storm
dark stream
plush thicket
#

no

pearl storm
dark stream
#

there's some funny "fall prone" ones though- and of course the big "choose action or movement not both" ones

pearl storm
#

Yea depending on it id we have familiars also pre casted then I got an Familiar for the party

plush thicket
#

familiar ain't gonna do much

pearl storm
#

Telekinetic will also allow me to get our fighters put of fights with no opportunity attack penalty

potent crypt
#

if we did party vs party with cannons current campaigns i would feel less optimistic as i'm not yet familiar with my parties abilities and we lack range

pearl storm
#

And Blood Bond can empower one strongly and I can cast many spells and cantrips through them

plush thicket
pearl storm
#

As long as I get to bite it with my hungry jaws so I get a bit of temporary hit points it's alright

potent crypt
#

gets 1HP and a cruse cuz u killed ur own familiar

dark stream
#

the biggest issue if we did pvp as cannon says- is that the fight would likely start with a surprise round
where their rogues just straight up destroys Rhea and Jo-Rah, then slinks back into the shadows, and our tougher fighters
would have to find them, or get sneak attacked again

#

dnd isn't designed around pvp after all

pearl storm
dark stream
plush thicket
#

you also forget that Yaromir is a sticking machine now, you literally can't get away from him if he gets close

pearl storm
#

We're after all zhe better party

potent crypt
#

at lv.6 i get to suprise attack u with booming blade

dark stream
#

would be fun however- to have a oneshot thing post-campaign, where we're all high level (at least 16+) where
the rest of the party takes on Rhea by herself, who has gone insane

potent crypt
#

even with low rolls i'm bound to do solid dmg and u won't be able to move without taking dmg

dark stream
#

but for that fight, I'd ask to have the "amulet of the devout" for the spell save

#

would be fun

#

see if a high-level Rhea could control all of them to kill each other before they reach her

potent crypt
#

Rhea secret final boss

pearl storm
#

And besides that anyone who doesn't have ranged attacks and relies on melee can get a Levitate and they will literally be stuck for the whole fight in the air and can't do anything

#

Jo-Rah still got controll spells too

plush thicket
#

no, his Int is fine

#

you do realise he has a ranged weapon right?

pearl storm
#

Hmm it was his Charisma?

pearl storm
#

Saying anyone who relies on melee only with no other thing

#

Hmm perhaps your Monk

#

But yea Yaromir would get hit with Enemies Abound

plush thicket
#

again tho, you're assuming that you just get to do this stuff and our party isn't gonna do anything to stop you

potent crypt
#

the party from tomb of annihilation would probably kick both our parties asses or?

dark stream
#

anyone attempts to act hostile towards anyone of M31's friends, she goes into a rage

#

she nearly engaged the big bandit boss that branded liger

pearl storm
plush thicket
#

I root for my own damn character tyvm

potent crypt
#

from what i understand the brand won't have much of a negative effect unles we return to the city

dark stream
#

vortex warps majora right in front of yaromir

plush thicket
#

stabs him multiple times

#

oh no you died

potent crypt
#

liger left confused as hes target vanished infront of him

pearl storm
#

Although looking it would seem like Enmies Abound is better on ranged characters since each time the possesed person gets attacked he has another chance of making the saving throw

potent crypt
#

one part ur missing is u need to succeed on hitting him and have him fail the save

pearl storm
#

The problem we got here is that we can't calculate the other members of the Grim Hollow crew well since they don't share enough here in order to know what subclass and character they will be

plush thicket
#

I know

#

GH is still fucked

pearl storm
#

I still wonder so much ehat they are gonna do

#

I am 60% sure Myrdle is gonna be a Vermin Lord

#

Since she already got the rat theme

#

Beans honestly has probably no idea either what his subclass gonna be cause Cannon forced him into playing Fighter for the first timeKEKW

#

Travesty is also not quite sure what he wants to become

potent crypt
#

he could make a meme char called beans and have him be a tank with heavy armor that looks like a big can

#

so he becomes can of beans

pearl storm
#

Don't say that while he's around cause he would totally start doing thatpotastLOL

#

But he already is the funny guy in oir dark and gritty campaign

#

He literally is illiterate and his journal is some scribble no one can decipher and has randomly numbers used there too instead of letters

potent crypt
#

unliterate?

pearl storm
#

And he got a pet Rat in his backpacket

pearl storm
potent crypt
#

isn't it illiterate?

pearl storm
dark stream
#

val got to be grammar police

potent crypt
hollow plume
plush thicket
#

I wasn't even out of action

pearl storm
#

Yarrrr Omir

plush thicket
#

I was still hitting the enemies cause they were the closest targets

hollow plume
#

yup

pearl storm
#

Can any of yoir characters go and touch people with an invisible mage hand though?

plush thicket
#

yes

#

Val can

pearl storm
#

Oh the evil you could do with one

pearl storm
dark stream
#

the invisible mage hand is literally the arcane trickster's thing

hollow plume
#

Liger was able to signal an NPC in a very tense standoff

pearl storm
#

Arcane Trickster is just the boring Misfortune Bringer

dark stream
#

I disagree- being a rogue with access to spells is cool

pearl storm
plush thicket
#

Sangromancer is just a evocation wizard with a blood fetish

pearl storm
#

It will confuse them (and possibly arrouse them) so much that they will let their guard down and Val can get advantage

plush thicket
#

you heard

#

or do you need to go get your hearing checked

plush thicket
#

you rolled a 1 and missed

hollow plume
potent crypt
#

also mage hand isn't very strong in terms of grip i think

pearl storm
plush thicket
#

behave

pearl storm
#

Just cause I also like to try to make combat nice and as cool as my rest stuff doesn't mean I don't know or do the other

potent crypt
#

u just give the impression ur trying to make Jo-rah as strong as possible potastSip

hollow plume
#

^^ and twist things from 5e out of their mechanics

pearl storm
potent crypt
#

not at allpotastAyaya

pearl storm
#

If you wanna make sure of the fact that I love storytelling and rp the most you can always be up to let me DM a game

potent crypt
#

i remember u refering to some other subclasses as being worse then others potastHmm

#

no such thing potastSip

#

no bad classes or chars only bad luck and bad players

pearl storm
#

I didn't play Skyrim for over one thousand hรถurs cause it is mechanically the most fun but cause no other game allowed such freedom of roleplay

potent crypt
#

witcherpotastHmm

pearl storm
#

I don't like DnD cause I cam go and roll a dice to make a big number but because I can roleplay, make cool stories and do that alongside other people

potent crypt
#

tho u are locked into being geralt

pearl storm
potent crypt
#

minecraft potastSip

pearl storm
#

That uh.... is debatable...

potent crypt
#

minecraft is one of the gratest games made i think potastSip

pearl storm
#

Anywas invintation is still open for anyone who wants to either do a one shot or interested in a full campaign

potent crypt
#

it's "improvement" are questionable but purely from what u can do with creativity it's an amazing game potastAyaya

dark stream
#

I'm excited to see Rhea grow

potent crypt
#

as am i

dark stream
#

is my first time playing an actual caster- and even then
she's not just your average "spam huge flashy spells" caster

dark stream
#

surely I'll find an amulet of the devout +3 during the campaign, right?

potent crypt
#

yeah around the neck of the BBEGpotastBoomer1

dark stream
#

it's a magic item specifically for clerics- it has three rarities; +1, +2 and +3
and it increases your spell save by it's rarity number, and gives an extra use of channel divinity

#

I hoped I could start with the weakest one(+1) off killing one of the inquisitors
but I guess the item is too good for early characters

potent crypt
#

i can't think of what i wanna do so i think i'll finaly make my dullahan

#

now which class did i decide on again potastHmm

#

i wanted to multiclass warlock atleast

#

aizo u happen to remember?

dark stream
#

you at least talked of paladin and warlock

#

you mentioned being a knight character, but also having access to some spells

#

so like, paladin, or eldritch knight maybe

#

though you also mentioned warlock

potent crypt
#

yes warlock for great one cuz telepathy

#

i think oath of vengence paladin maybe potastHmm

hollow plume
#

telepathy is great, Kevin was funny with it

#

i loved just using message to talk but vocally he oculd only say one word

potent crypt
#

plan is to make a dullahan char

dark stream
#

you could start with the variant human race, and start with "telepathic" feat

potent crypt
dark stream
potent crypt
#

that is the plan

#

warlock is to not be limited in a telepathy

#

i won't need to know the language

#

but yes i think oath of vengence and great old one multiclass is what i want

dark stream
#

if you specifically want the warlock's great one telepathy you can start as that, since you get it lv1, and multiclass into a knight class later

potent crypt
#

armor most important

dark stream
potent crypt
#

.<

#

important for char to be in armor that hides face cuz got no head

dark stream
#

is why I suggested being a variant human so you start with telepathy, and just be a paladin or eldritch knight(fighter)

potent crypt
#

i likely will or atleast be something that allows to to get telepathy the benefit of the warlock is i won't need to know the language

dark stream
#

most speak common anyway

potent crypt
#

true

#

i think i'll start oath of vengeance for armor as such

#

and think about if i want warlock later or not

dark stream
#

now, do you want oath of vengeance, or oath of zeal from grim hollow

#

zeal is basically "the other vengance"

potent crypt
#

it will be difficult for me to stick to the oath i feel potastHmm

dark stream
#

that's the tough part of being paladin

potent crypt
#

actualy nvm

dark stream
#

eldritch knight is also a heavy armour class with spells

potent crypt
#

i can decide for myself what a heretic is

#

i do not like corruption

dark stream
potent crypt
#

no mercy towards people i think is evil or bad i can do

#

and by any means is easy potastSip

dark stream
#

just remember not to have that be too broad

#

because as an oath, that'd mean you'd have to pursue and attempt execution if you saw someone be cruel in the city

#

did you read "the box" short story in the book cannon sent?

potent crypt
#

how could i possibly sit idly by while acts of cruelty is being commited infront of me

potent crypt
dark stream
dark stream
potent crypt
#

not reading it again

dark stream
#

but, the point is- notice how the inquisitors just flat out executes the mother and children in the streets, because they believe it right?

potent crypt
#

if i was in the grim hollow campaign i would be a hostile to the inquisition by default

dark stream
#

an oath to eradicate all evil/bad peepos, would mean doing exactly that, if you believed them "bad" even in the middle of a city

potent crypt
#

true

dark stream
#

is part of why playing a paladin can be difficult- though I'm sure our dms won't be too mean

potent crypt
#

i think vengeance fits best since i want vengeance against whoever cursed me

hollow plume
#

unlike BG3, paladin oaths have a lot more wiggle room

dark stream
#

I like the redemption paladin oath for myself

potent crypt
#

i like devotion potastAyaya

dark stream
#

simply attempt to talk peepos out of fighting first
but you're allowed to actively engage demons and undead and such

potent crypt
#

time for stat rolls

#

6,1,6,1=13

dark stream
#

roll for stats, then delete and make the same character and roll again, rinse repeat
until you god-roll and get full 18s

potent crypt
#

6,2,5,2=13

dark stream
#

just kidding, that's cheating of course

potent crypt
#

wait no

#

math>.<

#

yes is right 13

#

4,3,3,2=10

#

3,6,5,3=14

#

3,5,5,6=16

#

a good one potastHype

#

2,3,4,6=13

#

i think thats over all pretty good

#

16,14,13,13,13,10

#

actualy not 1 below 10 is really good isn't it?

dark stream
#

is decent

potent crypt
#

what stats do i want?

#

charisma and wisdom?

dark stream
#

probably can go something like
Str: 16
Dex: 13
Con: 14
Int: 10
Wis: 13
Cha: 13

#

you wanted to be mainly paladin, right?

potent crypt
#

oh i want strenght?

#

yes mainly knight

potent crypt
dark stream
#

charisma is your spell modifier, so you "could" move the 14 into that, and 13 into con
but as a melee character, you kind of want a good amount of health

#

and smite doesn't work off charisma anyway

potent crypt
#

variant human i can get both charisma and wisdom to 14 as well

dark stream
#

yup

potent crypt
#

is there any race that comes with the telepathy feat?

dark stream
#

or con and str to 17 and 15- then you'd only need one ASI to get both to 18 and 16

potent crypt
#

or ability to pick a feat like variant human?

dark stream
