@pearl storm did you see my character idea for a goliath, ancestral guardian barbarian?
#Dungeons and Dragons
dark stream
https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-spongebob-seriously-wow-omg-gif-304...
I'd have liked to see us make it far- we didn't even get lv3 yet
goliath in dnd are basically just bigger humans, right?
plush thicket
they're also part giant
pearl storm
goliath in dnd are basically just bigger humans, right?
Giant kin
Hybrid race if I remember right?
dark stream
this one
they're on average apparantly between 7 and 8ft tall
so basically same size as M31
potent crypt
dark stream
what I'm after from goliath, and ancestral guardian is these couple traits:
the first picture is ancestral guardian, the 2nd is goliath
could make for a mean tank/defender
incredible protection for allies
pearl storm
Boo my gif don't work
dark stream
potent crypt
u have an idea for a new char u wanna make majora?
pearl storm
<a:02Pat:740360684994429013>
dark stream
but like, imagine you have resistance to any damage from an attack hitting you
and the enemy has disadvantage to hit you iin the first place- not only that
if they do hit you through that, and after the damage has been halved
the ancestral guardian can further then reduce the halved damage by 2d6(which scales with levels)
2d6 at lv6, 3d6 at lv10 and 4d6 at lv14
potent crypt
just be a long death monk at lv.11 and only use ur ki for staying alive
use movement to avoid getting hit
dark stream
it doesn't even have a limit to how many times you can reduce damage
it's just a reaction, that requires you to be raging, and your target to be within 30ft
potent crypt
can avoid death 11 times that way
assuming they get me down to 0 hit points each time
pearl storm
u have an idea for a new char u wanna make majora?
I'm gonna be fully honest
I don't know if I'm gonna keep playing
potent crypt
btw monks movement does it stack?
pearl storm
I might hang up DnD overall....
agile coyote
majora if its any consolation, me and cor both died in equally horrible manners xD
potent crypt
I might hang up DnD overall....
i know u really liked the char but thats just how it goes sometimes 
u can still make a near copy of the char if u want
pearl storm
majora if its any consolation, me and cor both died in equally horrible manners ...
I know and it made me very happy
Get fucked Sneke
potent crypt
he to rolled poorly
potent crypt
u don't have to make a new char for next session u can wait out a little and think it over 
pearl storm
I just had to deal with some internal stuff and am mostly good but I'm not fully settled on my feeling towards DnD now
potent crypt
if not make a near copy char then didn't u make a char that was like hes brother or in the same tribe already? but like he was the opposite of jo-rah?
potent crypt
I just had to deal with some internal stuff and am mostly good but I'm not fully...
it's understandable
but hey this just means it meant something to u
u got so invested in the char u made and the game u played
thats good no?
craggy pelican
Sooo since the entire other party died , maybe we can find aizo randomly in a ditch somewhere /s
pearl storm
I mostly now came back to chat cause I felt a bit lonely 
potent crypt
aizo and dtravisty is still alive
dark stream
aizo and dtravisty is still alive
craggy pelican
If it helps, i too did stuff that doomed the party in TOA
Me ragebaiting the 4 necromancers that almost killed us all and did kill skarath
dark stream
aizo and dtravisty is still alive
beans too, but both dtrav and beans are too busy with work
craggy pelican
Also me getting horny for sea hags and nearly dying
pearl storm
if not make a near copy char then didn't u make a char that was like hes brother...
No
potent crypt
ah so u never made him just had the idea?
pearl storm
I think something that is probably now obvious to you too is that I am invested in what I write
potent crypt
i remember u made hes aperance in the hero forge
pearl storm
When I do something for passion I do it fully with heart
potent crypt
u must get ur vengence on the mud boss that murdered jo-rah
agile coyote
im also disappointed i dont get to see where my rat lady went, i never even got the rats at all. but it is what it is, these things happen in DND, and you have to expect sometimes you risk losing stuff. You can always share you plans for your character if you want, and we can see the story you had for them
potent crypt
rejoine the ranks of the living and gather ur strenght to exact ur vengence
say jo-rah had an aprentice who has studied hes texts on blood magic all hes life
maybe he even saw jo-rah as a father figure
pearl storm
Writing in general and writing characters has been something personal that I always put in love, time and care in. If I make something as a full character then you bet your ass I will be deeply invested. I day dream about it, the world, acts, how to improve and make it it's own creation. There is a reason I played something like Skyrim cause the rp and character making that you could make with the universe and lore has been a great place to create your own things and experience them. Each different.
plush thicket

Well hard thing when you make your first DnD character for your very first campaign, learn all about the setting, make your character thought out and unique, planning how to make him mechanically function, character wise as an addition to the narrative and group play, spend hours to learn about the game, the culture, the mechanics and start annyoing people so much by your new hyper love for something only for it to end up with it all ending in an absolutely unfullfilling way in the first parts of the games. And that ending happened despite you doing everything right. It do be hard to not feel like hanging up

want to hear how my first character died in our campaigns here?
she was nearly immortal, killed 50 enemies by herself without even being hit
kept the entire party alive through thick and thin
and then she died to a spell that says "you're dead now because I say so"
craggy pelican
didnt have over 100 hp? skill issue , says the lich
potent crypt
chars can die easily in dnd cuz we are at the mercy of the dice
liger has survived due to luck and some mercy from dm
craggy pelican
chars can die easily in dnd cuz we are at the mercy of the dice
there is no dice with the spell aiz is talking about , powerword kill just kills you if you have less than 100 hp , no checks no attack roll no nothing
if you cant counter spell it you're fucked and i was the only one with counterspell and i had went down a round earlier
potent crypt
i didn't know there was a chance to love through it 
so if u have more then 100HP u can get a saving throw?
craggy pelican
no if you have more than 100 it just does nothing
its a simple logic gate , if you have less than 100 = ded , if you have more , nothing happens
potent crypt
so it becomes useless?
craggy pelican
yep
craggy pelican
lame
potent crypt
execute ability 
u lower their HP and then use it
oh btw does monk's movement stack?
craggy pelican
in 2024 version, if it doesn't kill, it does 12d12 psychic damage instead
thats like... 78 on average.... some chars have that much hp at lvl 5
craggy pelican
show me
dark stream
oh btw does monk's movement stack?
no
plush thicket
no
potent crypt
vhttps://dnd5e.wikidot.com/monk
dark stream
it shows the table
potent crypt
ah i see
dark stream
what each level gives
like martial dice
at certain levels you do get more movement though
potent crypt
it shows the table
yes it's the table confusing me
dark stream
as shown on the table
craggy pelican
its like how the rouge table shows how many dice the sneak attack does every level val
potent crypt
so at lv.6 do i get +15 movement or +5?
dark stream
craggy pelican
so at lv.6 do i get +15 movement or +5?
6th lvl is +15 as the table shows
plush thicket
base movement + what the table shows
potent crypt
so my monks current movement is 40 next level it's 50?
dark stream
starting from lv 2, your movement is increased by +10
then, after lv6, it instead increased by +15 instead of +10
and so on
craggy pelican
so my monks current movement is 40 next level it's 50?
no
its 40 and stays 40 cuz we're going to lvl 3
when we get to lvl 6 it becomes 45
potent crypt
ok so it's 45 at lv.6
craggy pelican
should have left the other levels blank <:potastSip:942680690581975050>
maybe you should learn to read
craggy pelican
reading comprehension issue
potent crypt
at lv.18 monk will have 60ft of movement
dark stream
add "mobile" feat to that, make it 70
or be a centaur to start with 40ms base
centaur monk
craggy pelican
yes , a tibaxi monk would have 120 , then dip a lvl into rouge and dash twice for 480 , breaking the sound barrier
potent crypt
craggy pelican
how do you not disintegrate the second you move? idk
potent crypt
i do have plans for a monk/rogue chars already
but now i might make it a tabaxi just for that
shadow monk
i think it was start as rogue and then switch to monk
need lv.2 rogue for the dash
plush thicket
monk can also dash lv2
craggy pelican
you can also just use monk's step of the wind , but that uses ki points
potent crypt
wait why did i want rogue for the movement thing then?
plush thicket
cause you silly
potent crypt
for my char i would still want rogue just for the expertise and sneak attack
then get shadow monk at lv.4
dark stream
20 monk, tabaxi race, mobile feat for 70 base movement
haste first, making your speed 140, then dash action doubling it to 280
step of the wind bonus action dash, doubling it again to 560, then feline agility when you move
giving you a full speed of 1120 movement
craggy pelican
wait why did i want rogue for the movement thing then?
saving ki points

Reddit
plush thicket
then bonus dash for a 3rd 140
you go 420, not 560
also feline agility is applied before you dash
dark stream
oh you mean it you have to use it after moving, because it doesn't add on top
plush thicket
it's basically 3 seperate moves
craggy pelican
oh you mean it you have to use it after moving, because it doesn't add on top
dash doesnt stack multiplicatively is what he means
it adds another instance of your movement speed
dark stream
changes how that works, so it works like bg3 where you "store" movement with dash
craggy pelican
not multiplying with the previous dash
dark stream
either how feline agility will have to be used at the very final point
since it's used upon moving
potent crypt
cannon said it's applied before u dash
plush thicket
it's an x2 modifier to the base movement
with feline agility you basically have 280ft movement
which you use 3 times
plush thicket
yes
potent crypt
u can only use it once tho?
untill u have 1 turn where u stand still or long rest
or no not long rest
dark stream
u can only use it once tho?
the feline agility is until end of turn, so if you dash and bonus dash, you still have the doubled movement

dark stream
sneks character in justin's campaign? yes
potent crypt
could we move really far with each other then?
dark stream
my other kensei monk character I made, is basically designed around iai hit'n'run tactics
she has the "mobile" feat so she doesn't trigger opportunity attacks
and then "slasher" feat, so her attack reduces her targets speed by 10, usually meaning they have only 20ft movement
while she has 70. then she'll just run at you and slice you up, and then run out of your range
oh, and she also has 18ac, which becomes 20 after she attacked
and if her target can somehow reach her anyway, she can react and
turn her ac into 24 temporarily
dark stream
so, we're rolling back to just after the mud zombie, where everyone is still alive, right?

"it's not canon" - cannon
pearl storm
the grim hollow campaign felt exciting, but we tpk'd at lv2
It's all Sneke's fault
For future refernce
Never listen to Sneke again
Sneke be like when saying we should continue
dark stream
to be fair, we couldn't have known about the enemies since they didn't even exist until a mechanic trigger
otherwise they'd have emerged when you sent in the bat, and we'd have seen and avoided
it's quite funny though- obviously you're not supposed to know beforehand
but since they only appear once entire party is in the room, you can litterally just leave one person outside
and simply solve the room, and then leave the dungeon one by one
plush thicket
what if they have a second trigger, such as the door being messed with
plush thicket
there's a lot left that you guys haven't seen yet
mostly because you rushed straight to the boss room

I bet, we saw maybe like 1%

Jo-Rah proved that his intelligence of 18 was real and considering how the decision of the others went it is clear that he was the smartest

Jo-rah was smartest but Rhea was the fastest

I wonder if it was at all possible to notice the hiding monsters, if we had like, asked to investigate the floor
plush thicket
maybe an arcana check would have revealed the animating magic?
dark stream
probably via arcane sense rather than physically investigating

of course it's easy to think of this in hindsight
plush thicket
tbf with how many warnings you get given, you very much should have seen the door and nope-d tf out
dark stream

after the mud zombie, I mostly just wanted to go back and get our spellslots back
but since we were pushing ahead anyway, I didn't want to split the party, even though
I did mention how "rhea is reluctant to enter the room"
but on the other hand, as a player, I was under the assumption that the exit was guarded by a visible monster
and so this room probably weren't the boss room, though monsters might lurk
which they evidently did
but it's not like I stood my ground on going back either
either how, it is how it is
hopefully the other party makes it further
craggy pelican
hopefully the other party makes it further
One of us did already fuck with a specter and lost half his health
dark stream
ah yes, my least favourite mechanic in dnd, max health reduction
and especially cruel in the setting you play in, since it cannot be cured
craggy pelican
Simply don't go tussling with the health stealing ghost lol
dark stream
or do, but have a cleric with "aura of life" active, nearby
is the aura I tried keeping active when we fought acererak the first time
necrotic resistance, and restores downed allies to 1 hit point
but more notably, it completely prevents the loss of max health
paladins can use it as well, but 4th level spells comes later for half-casters
potent crypt
dark stream
incredibly useful spell in a campaign that features a lot of undead
though of course it being concentration, means the cleric cannot have spirit guardians active
but the effect is so potently strong it's often worth it anyway-
better kill the undead a slight bit slower, but nobody lost permanent max health, after all
and resistance is always helpful
potent crypt
but it's not like I stood my ground on going back either
Not enough charisma to convince the others to turn
potent crypt

Atm i'm expecting alot of spell casters and elemental stuff cuz our campaign has something to do with cults dedicated to the elements

I think I've said this a few times before but the Tomb of Annihilation game here was the first in almost 10 years of playing that I'd managed to finish
hollow plume
The hard truth is that making a character in and of itself gives the risk of them living or dying throughout a campaign. Sure bad dice and mistakes can make characters you have huge ideas for end in an instant but that's a risk that's made by virtue of being in a campaign (exceptions apply with DM abuse of power metagaming or ooc table beef ofc)
I mean if you want your characters to be completely out of risk you could always have them stay as an OC and write things about them
dark stream
I think I've said this a few times before but the Tomb of Annihilation game here...
I'm still proud of us for that- firstly that you all survived until I entered too
since ToA is supposed to be the cruellest most mercilessly unfair campaign, right after the one it's based on

would it have been better or worse if you'd died later on?
A heroic death of a long played character is a pretty good ending

dark stream
what kind of punishments?

nothing major

A heroic death of a long played character is a pretty good ending

kensei monk would also be fun, but kind of needs a few levels on that before it actually works
pearl storm
well you don't have to throw in the towel there, you can just take it and use it...
Yesnt

and then the one character I made mostly after myself(after rhea)
the owlin ranger

I have no ideas for new characters
Yaromir won't die anyway
so why would I need too?
dark stream

I have made dozen of Skyrim characters and even more besides that and while yes there can be similiarities, I still try to make each unique and different
plush thicket
I'll tell you for free:
the milestone for hitting lv3 is meeting the needs of two of the Dredgers
although as more peeps have died now, they'll be more reluctant to help you now
pearl storm
Well that ain't bringing back Jo-Rah
I didn't even get to use Theift of Vitae
I was so hyped for that spell
dark stream
the spells rhea want to cast but cannot yet, is:
- hold person
- fear
- slow
- phantasmal killer
though of course she has other spells beyond them
her primary offensive spells are basically "dissonant whispers" and "phantamsal killer"
which speaks to her actual inability to do real damage, since both are spells meant for their effect
but happen to have a smol damage component
dissonant whispers has an intended use for later, that I can't do until I get access to the "war caster" and "polearm master" feats(yes, she has a staff)
since it means she can cast a targeted spell at someone entering her melee range, which means I can, with dissonant whispers, make an encroaching attacker turn the other way instead
of course, this means it won't be relevant until lv8(character lv9)
but at least she'd get war caster at lv4(character lv5)
which is neat, since her whole thing is concentration based
rhea and val'kira would function extremely well together
pearl storm
That is all very interesting
Unfortunately I'm not interested in DnD now
Gotta find someone new who has the DnD obsesiok like you and past me

I don't think he is saying anything new
I atleast felt like it was/can be that case
dark stream
I think most peepos play it kind of like that
same reason being hit doesn't immediately cripple you
I mean, a giant lumbering monstrosity just hit you with a cleaver several times your size
but somehow, it just took off some of your hit points, you're still in one piece
plush thicket
I've always considered hit points to be a factor of luck
Just like how AC is how hard you are to hit whilst dealing damage to you
craggy pelican

monk, barbarian, and bard
but you could swap barbarian for fighter
pearl storm
That does remind me of something
Are monks the only class ir you want to make an unarmed guy?
plush thicket
nope but they are the best
both fighter and barbarian have some amount of subclass support for it
plush thicket
literally never
Monk is best unarmed class because it's simply the most OP class in general
Fighter and Barbarian will be tankier but won't be as fast or have as good scaling in the late game
pearl storm
literally never
dark stream
paladin, fighter and ranger all have a "fighting style" they can pick, called "unarmed fighting"
which aids them if they should choose to hit without a weapon for whatever reason- even with that however
they got nothing on monk, who's designed around it
hollow plume
monk is the most OP because D&D monsters are desgiend against magic users, of which monks circumvent by ki

you have never fought a tarrasque
i have twice, one was given WINGS
craggy pelican
okay a flying one is horrfying
but at the level you'll be fighting one a grounded creature is mostly not a problem if you have air support lol
hollow plume
the tarrasque can jump
dark stream
I think the scariest part of that creature, is if you're a caster
since it's especially strong against casters
even though it already tears melee apart like snacks
craggy pelican
imo i'd be more scared of any anchient dragon
even tho ppl normally parade the terrasqe as the "strongest" moster
timid siren
A Tarrasque is mainly used as a natural disaster that you survive rather than a monster you fight and win
pearl storm
That was accidental
dark stream
so when are we doing a campaign, where we're all ancestral guardian barbarians
and the dm totally won't use any caster enemies?
pearl storm
Savage Opress as barbarian using his dathomirian great axe
potent crypt
looking at monk and i'm a little confused on monks movements again
so at lv.2 i get unarmored movement i assumed that is what gave me the +10
nvm i'm stupid
i saw the unarmored improvement and for some reason thought it was on lv.6 and not 9
flurry of blows doesn't specify i need to attack with my fist
just that after i make an attack i can then use 1 ki point to make two unarmed strikes
so my monk can swing his scythe and then strike with his fists twice
i was thinking at work that i hadn't really given much thought to what to do with my monk for future levels and looking at monk i'm not sure i have much options besides just deciding not to take something
i could either get dex to 20 at lv.4 or get a feat
maybe there is some cool feats that fit my chars theme
mage slayer could be usefull
mobile
even more movement
polearm master
temporary hit points don't stack even if they are from different sources right?

I want majo to join us again, and then we'll reach the very end

against Rhea i can only hope i get to go first and she doesn't get to touch me
dark stream
dark stream
yup !
I think for rhea's first turn, she'd probably try to use "confusion" on all of you
which basically makes it so that you can only actually do what you want 20% of the time
and then after that, the "fear" spell on all of you, so that you can't get close to me even if you wanted
and naturally, each time I do either, also expose one of you to my eldritch truths, adding a random extra debuff
and only then, do we sing our song of doom(channel divinity)
the actual name of rhea's channel divinity, later on
potent crypt
is there a save on confusion?
dark stream
of course
dark stream
most my stuff is wisdom saves
potent crypt
my monk got a special misty step which gives me resistance to ALL dmg untill my next turn when i use it
potent crypt
hmm my monk doesn't have immunity but stillness of mind lets me end one effect on me causing me to be charmed or frightend
dark stream
so basically you have to roll 9 or 10 on a dice, to actually do what you want
is exactly the kind of shenanigans rhea enjoys doing
dark stream
she's a debuff caster
first time ever I actually try playing an actual caster class
potent crypt

I mean, I've played cleric before of course, and cleric is considered "full caster"
but I usually play them like a martial class

goliaths are supposed to be between 7 and 8ft tall, on average

so not thaaaaat tall
considering they're supposed to be half giants
pearl storm
dark stream
I actually like how she looks here too, though it's kind of similar to kratos
I imagine, even though she's a barbarian, her rage isn't like "raging berserker"
but rather, since she's an ancestral guardian, she's more in tuned with the shamanistic stuff
and when she rages, her markings and eyes begin to glow
pearl storm
I imagine, even though she's a barbarian, her rage isn't like "raging berserker"...

I'd make a "way of the four elements" monk for that

I am still baffled that there isn't an earth spell type or an air one
Or a better one for water
DnD is so weird in its types
Thunder and Lightning like cmon they are both already based on the same thing
Acid ok
Fire yea need that
Necrotic ok cool yea guess we need that
And ice like yea obvsiously
But say
dark stream
create/destroy water, and control water
mold/shape earth
gust/gust of wind
plenty of fire spells
there's even a spell to control the weather

Where are like all the other elements? What about the wgole druid being connected to nature and they don't know more then two spells that interact directly with the earth
pearl storm
