/tg/ - Traditional Games

You're a DM and it's session 0, what are your biggest red flags for PCs

>>76945805
Depends on the medium.
I'm fine with summoners having their conjurers act like Pokemon Trainers for example, as long as they aren't trying to actively capture enemies, but if someone tried to pretend they were sans or something I'd probably chuck them out of the game.

>>76945861
>So my character is just John Wick but also Hellboy, and he would be acted by clint eastwood

>>76945861
>Can I play a bloodhunter

>>76945805
Well, one of my players made a build to be Alexander Anderson and I recently gave him a homebrewed ability to throw his shortswords at 30/90 ft range.

I think that should tell you how I feel.

>>76945805
Clear your links, you bimbo.

reposting from last thread because i would appreciate helpful feedback and (You)s but mostly feedback

got bored and threw together some basic bitch house rules/homebrew for my 5e games, what do you nerds think? any suggestions? comments? scathing remarks?

https://docs.google.com/document/d/11tdZPqNM997RFSZimjI8EplY6Ges1DxUAeXPcJFHNbc/edit?usp=sharing

If a player character had Heat Metal cast on them, would you let them 'ruin the straps of their armor' to cut it off immediately?

>>76945901
Listen, the embeds got so bad at one point it was funny. I wanna see how far it goes, but since you pointed it out it'll probably stop again.

>player races
aaracokra shouldnt be able to fly from level 1

>>76945861
anyone who asks if they can use homebrew

>>76945911
sure, as an action but it wouldn't be cheap to replace

>>76945935
>>76945904

>That third one is leaning dangerously close into faggot territory.

I don't think there is anything gay about a halfling trying to bond with their best mates over a nice meal, helping prepare the meal gives you a reason to have larger portions for yourself

>>76945911
Depends on the kind of armor
I know the rules for donning/doffing armor are just by Light/Medium/Heavy but I don't get how ring mail or chain mail takes 10 minutes to take off by yourself

>>76945935
>>76945961
good idea, adding

Spent the last 4 nights in bed daydreaming about different kinds of Kuo-Toa gods that would be fun to use.

>>76946014
You should give them a lesser slow fall at level 1, and then the fly speed at level 5.

>>76946014
You should also ban or restrict the dragon mark classes desu

>>76946020
That's just fucking great, now all of them are real, you asshole.

>>76945805
I want to expand skills in 5e to involve multiple tiers of expertise. How would you dole out skill points to accommodate for a skill system along the lines of

Proficiency Levels---Bonus
Jynxed : -10
Untrained : -5
Beginner : 0
Apprentice : ½ Proficiency (rounded down)
Journeyman : Proficiency
Expert : Double Proficiency
Master : Advantage

At the moment I'm thinking of going with
Modifier * (0.25*Proficiency) = Skill points gained
However, you can only spend the skill points on skills impacted by the stat you got the points from
IE: points gained from STR are spent on STR skills, points gained from INT are spent on INT skills etc
and I'm thinking of running some numbers and figuring out how many points it should take to advance a skill to the next "proficiency level", but I feel like this might end up just being too convoluted


For clarification, I think "Untrained" should be the default level of skill, but I wanted to have "Jynxed" as something you might run into during character creation if you happen to get a perfect storm of Class/Bad stat rolls. Like if you're a wizard with 6 STR you might start naturally Jynxed in Athletics because you're a fucking book nerd who sucks even harder than the average untrained joe

>>76944424
>>76944489

making them purely earth spirit-based fae creatures + making them dark-skinned give them a sort of identity and plenty different from halflings

>>76946023
that's a good one too
>>76946026
no experience with dragonmark classes, though they look busted at a glance. what specifically is wrong with them?

>>76946037
>but I feel like this might end up just being too convoluted

>>76945911
I'd say no as its intended to doff armor would take 1 minute for Medium and 5 Minutes for Heavy, destroying/damaging the armor would probably not be possible in that short few seconds of a frame that your armors cooking.
You could beat up the caster and break their concentration however.

>>76945936
>vanilla only 5e

>>76945861
Overly comedic ideas or ones that are just straight up rip offs of specific character from media. There nothing wrong with an inherently humorous aspect to a character or taking inspiration from stuff you like, but when the be all and end all of your character is a single joke or reference I know that the player is probably going to get bored after a session.

>>76946029
Cool. You should be okay as long as you arent a sailor as almost all of them revolve around shipwrecking people on a Kuo-toa island to be eaten.

Where are the other genasi like lightning or magma

>>76945993
Any chain armor could be removed in one action (6 seconds) by someone experienced with doing so, rules be damned. They're essentially metal T-shirts, but do require a certain technique to remove quickly (gathering as much material as you can around your neck, and then bending forward so the armor falls off of you)
Plate armor would probably burn itself off of its straps and fall off after a few rounds

>>76946063
They exist, but they don't care about them. Dragon Magazine had to add in the para-elemental genasi in 3.5

>>76946043
you're basically getting free spells for being a mark of storm for instance, so I can play that and be a caster while retaining all of my levels in a martial if I want

>>76946063
There are only genies of the four prime elements, anon. You know what a genasi is, right?

>Make a True Neutral character
>Call it a BBEG
Why do DMs do this?

>>76946078
Do you mean dragonmarked races instead of dragonmarked classes? You're probably confusing the fuck out of that guy.

>>76946087
DM here, my BBEG is chaotic stupid. True Neutral probably is easier to DM, since trying to embody my BBEG makes them easier to defeat.

>>76946090
did I say classes, ah my bad I was trying to talk and type at the same time

>>76946078
just read some more about them and hooooly shit you were not kidding
>>76946090
no don't worry i got what he meant, the eberron races. i typed classes by mistake earlier

>>76946087
>make a LG character
>Call it a BBEG
Why don't more DMs do this?

>>76946044
Well yeah, but what in particular do you think pushes it over the edge to being too convoluted?

>>76946067
I'm in the group of people who believe that spells only do what the spell says it can. Nowhere in heat metal is it stated that the spell deals actual damage to the armor or metal object, it simply makes it glow red-hot and deal damage to the wearer/holder. If they wanted the spell to deal damage to the object it would have said so in the spell's description (objects do have hit points after all), but because it doesn't, I'd just simply rule it doesn't and move on.

>>76946049
there are like 20+ official races and subclasses at this point

if you can’t express your character concept without delving into extreme freakshit you don’t have a character, you have a meme

>>76946130
Ehhh Heat Metal is one of the cases where going reasonably beyond the description is fine. I dunno if I'd have it burn through the armor's own straps in under a minute but by that logic you couldn't cast Heat Metal on a pot to boil water in a flagrant waste of spell slots, for example, since water doesn't have hit points to damage.

>>76946125
What's the difference between being a beginner and untrained in something, and how do you determine that at character creation? Do I get skill points for lowering my other skills?

>>76946125
What if they ask to play a sorcerer good at hitting something with a sword?

>>76946118
Are you planning to do food and drink for your party, what about spell components

>>76946148
Untrained is someone who has never been trained at all in the skill and is totally just winging it based on assumptions

Beginner is someone who has had a little training but really doesn't actually know what they're doing. They're better than someone who has never done it before, but anyone who actually knows how to do it would be unimpressed by their skills. Like a miniature painter who is just starting out and doesn't thin his paints but still picks the right colours and knows some very basic techniques. He'd be better than someone who's never touched a mini or paints in his life, but a hobbyist painter would find his minis amateur at best.

>>76946049
Name a piece of homebrewed content i.e race class or subclass that you need to express your character

>>76946147
It's hot enough to kill a healthy grown man instantly upon being cast. There's no way that it wouldn't be hot enough to basically instantly combust organic materials that it's in direct contact with (keep in mind, plate armor is never in contact with its wearer)

>>76946157
Don't dump STR

>>76946147
Correct, magic is magic, it bypasses reason on the regular. If the spell said it dealt damage to objects it would. I know a lot of people don't agree with that mindset and hey that's just fine. Its a lot of fun to have magic do things beyond the descriptions, but I try to stick to what's on the page and what was intended when I can.

>>76946157
Take a feat

>>76946185
But my race and class don't give me any bonuses to strength!

>>76946195
Anon, my saves are pretty low.. Shouldn't I grab an ASI for my casting stat, or for strength?

>>76945911
The kind of DM that casts heat metal on a player isn't the kind to ignore donning/doffing rules, so no.

>>76946184
Treated leather doesn't burn very fast.

>>76946157
hexblade warlock?

>>76946183
If you genuinely can't think of why homebrew is important I have no idea what kind of boring ass campaigns you're running but they must be dull as hell.

Though, I don't run official adventures or use forgotten realms, so homebrew is basically mandatory. But the DMG itself goes out of its way to explain that almost everything inside of it is just a suggestion to give you an idea of how to run the game. ONLY using RAW spells, races, classes, etc limits the campaign so hard it hurts.

>>76946204
But anon, I wanna be a dragon sorcerer..

>>76946200
>But my race and class don't give me any bonuses to strength!
You'll live without a 5% bonus

>>76946158
if you mean just keeping track of rations, then yeah. it's a pretty simple "you'll be traveling for X days so mark off X rations" affair, and you can get some mileage out of food-related conflcts (theft, magical spoiling, etc.). Unless you have a druid/cleric/ranger, but they already fuck over the traveling aspect anyway

components without a cost are covered by component pouches/foci, aren't they? making sure you have one of those is gonna be a thing, but it doesn't seem that hard to keep track of.

>>76946205
homebrew in terms of stat fudging for monsters or whatever would not fit under what I have challenged you to present.

>>76945805
Can't be Vergil, doesn't look faggy enough.

>>76946230

Wait for the eventual Sorcerer with a weapon subclass or homebrew a sorcerer subclass with a weapon.

>>76945898
>"Sure! Its in my list of approved homebrews."

>>76946244
>Spoiler
Why though?

>>76946203
We're talking about different mechanisms. Leather doesn't burn like paper does, but it still decomposes at about the same temperature that most organic materials do. It doesn't have to "burn" to stop performing its function as a means of strapping the plates onto the wearer.

Redpill me on Bloodhunter, anons. I have a friend who LOVES it (and critical role), and even though it's less edgy than older official blood mages in 3.5 I still don't like it, especially the subclass that just makes you a warlock, patron and all.

Rolled 19, 16, 20, 9, 16, 3 = 83 (6d20)

>>76945805
Poorly.
Like my Vuman Monk.

>>76946229
Any kind of fucking animal humanlike that isn't a tortoise. Ogres. Mythological creatures that aren't exclusively from greek mythology. Variant classes. A sensible replacement for -5/+10 feats that aren't completely broken for the early levels. Classes to make people take bard without them realizing they did.

>>76946275
Twining shenanigans and he just doesn't like the sub-class.

>>76946205
if your dm comes to you with a homebrew setting it hardly counts, yeah, in that scenario it would make sense to use the setting they developed

the problem comes when you insist on using some unrelated homebrew race/class for your gay meme character

>>76946275
Tasha's has powercreep.

>>76946323
Stop procrastinating and just do it. What you're saying is actually "I need another week to procrastinate so I can do it all the night before." Take some responsibility for yourself.

>>76945861
> no you can't see my character sheet
> you'll find out what class I am soon enough

A guy at my FLGS does this. I've never DMd him but it pissed me off. He always has the perfect item or spell to solve every problem. I like playing with his boyfriend though because that guy always has really interesting characters done well.

>>76946346
Only god can

>>76946348
Do it!
And share it here. I want to play it.

>>76946347
i want to object but you're right and I'm upset. if I had used chult maybe I could have gotten away with it but yeah.

>>76945911
Yes. It would ruin the armor, and they'd need to get it fixed though. Don't see the purpose of shutting down a PC's last ditch effort, one where he gives up most of his AC in and an action.

>>76946201
>DM that casts heat metal on a player
martial classes HATE this one simple trick, click here

What happens if you cast heat metal on a warforged? Is he just fucked?

>>76946375
Just go chadmode and grapple the caster that's using heat metal on you. If he reheats it, he hurts himself and risks breaking his own concentration. If he doesn't, I won't have disadvantage when I break his face next turn.

>>76946383
>Warforged isn't made of metal
Get cucked!

>>76946383
Not any more than a non-warforged wearing heavy armor. Even with help, removing heavy armor still takes the entire duration of the spell. I don't remember what having help reduces medium armor removal to, but that's also the full duration without help.

>>76946383
Do you know what a warforged is made of?

No, it's not war.

>>76946361
trust me, I'm just as upset

>>76946291
Hurt others by hurting yourself

>>76946343
and you come to /5eg/ despite having run no games in the last 6 months

>>76946392
>the DM willing to use Heat Metal on PCs isn't using the ready action boogaloo from around a corner to avoid Counterspells and then immediately booking it on a horse or a flying carpet or with dimension door on his next turn or some shit

>>76946300
What is he worried is going to get twinned? It doesn't even work with order's level 1 feature since twinned doesn't actually cast the spell twice. It adds a second target, and order's feature explicitly says that it can only work on one of the spell's targets of your choice.

>>76946348
My fix
>Frenzy either consumes another use of rage, if you don't you get the exhaustion

>"hard" 3d6 flat. No re-rolls, no feat. No array option, 1.3 times xp
Unlikely as it is this system could allow me to get absurdly lucky and roll no negatives on a flat series of 3d6 and get 30% more xp on top of being better then an array user or somebody who rolled poorly elsewhere
That does not seem great

>>76946396
Gonna make an artifact in my campaign thats just a set of armour with tear off nike jogging pants buttons on them so you can doff it with a bonus action

>>76946407
literally running one of my weekly sessions tomorrow

>>76946383
Questionable. You can't cast it at all on a warforged, as they are not "objects."

Their armor is "incorporated" with them, and it's down to DM fiat whether the armor is still an object, whether it's technically "visible," or what "incorporated" even means in context of what warforged do when they wear armor

Where do you wanna see expanded on? I want more of the rest of the north, like Sossal.

>>76946359
My setting is modern-themed so I'm probably going to make it a gunzerker class instead because it's specifically for one of my player's PCs-turned-NPC that walked out on the group to support the current antagonist faction. I have a plan to potentially allow him to rejoin (after doing some Knuckles-style dicking around with the group) if his new character bites it and his character is basically Hank from Madness Combat so being able to rip and shoot in equal measures whilst raging sounds right up his alley

The question is do I go full force into the meme and let the class dual-wield two-handed guns in their rage, maybe rifle+battleaxe instead?

>>76946436
>You can't cast it at all on a warforged, as they are not "objects."
Does an object stop being an object if its animated?
If you give life to a chair, does it stop being a chair?

>>76946425
go back to discord

>>76946428
No you aren't, enjoy your reschedule

>>76946469
I'm not engaging in this debate. Creatures are not objects. This is immutable.

>>76946469
>Does an object stop being an object if its animated?
Yes.

>>76946488
But, do their corpses count as objects?

>>76946477
we’ve had to reschedule a lot the last few months but I’m pretty confident about tomorrow

>>76946412
>Implying we don't win initiative anyway
>Implying we can't reach a guy that's at most 85 feet away and disable or outright kill him

>>76946498
Yes. Doesn't change the statblock you get.

>>76946498
Yes, necromancers don't give life to corpses and skeletons they just move them around with magic in a twisted mockery of life.

Necromancers are more like magical puppeteers than anything.

>>76946511
They count as creatures again and are no longer objects.

>>76946518
But they aren't alive they're just being moved around.
It'd be like saying a sandwich is no longer an object, its a creature, because you picked it up with mage hand and started moving it around

Rolled 3, 1, 4, 6, 5, 6, 6, 6, 3, 4, 2, 4, 4, 4, 2, 1, 4, 3 = 68 (18d6)

>>76946425
Let's find out! A-one, a-two-hoo...

>>76946528
Never said they were alive. They are undead creatures, as per their statblock.

>>76946535
those are actual undead, not animated dead

>>76946518
Like their ungodly existence, they're a joke of a creature and object.

>>76945805
>How do you feel about players playing characters inspired by characters from media?

Inspired is fine. Just so long as its not just spamming catchphrases and references

>>76946067
>Plate armor would probably burn itself off of its straps and fall off after a few rounds

heal metal magically heals metal, it doesn't damage it

because then you fall into the trap where firebolt should deal damage to a creatures clothes but then if a creature has enough armor, should the armor absorb teh damage from teh spell rather than you tacking it, because the spell hit the armor and not the player/creature

>>76946547
What necromancers are you referring to? Because Animate dead, create undead, danse macabre and finger of death and so on have defined statblocks for their undead summons.

Same for circle of spore druids, and so on.

>>76946570
>opposed to D20s
huh?

>>76946528
Just FYI, you're arguing with two other neckbeards, not the one who made the original claim - It's not debatable. Fundamentally, the rules are written with their own definitions for what objects and creatures are and how they interact with spells and abilities are clearly stated using those definitions. That's it. Mic drop.

>>76946348
This is my attempt at fixing things from a while ago, haven't DM'd anything lately though so I haven't had a chance for anyone to take it for a spin
The extra additions to Adrenaline were mostly for shits and giggles, the mental image of a Barbarian frothing at the mouth and dragging some dude who tried to slow him down is funny

>>76946592
some people roll D20s for each stat which can lead to 1s with 4d6k3 you get the better rolls on average

>>76946614
Who does?

>>76946461
>more of the north
the northern sword coast / icewind dale region is the most boring FR gets outside of the fucking dalelands and cormyr. even sossal is just cold, not cool. i would take literally anything else.

let's go to the sea of stars and have pirate adventures, deal with the fallout of a lost psychic civilization, and crab people
let's go to maztica and live out our conquistador fantasies but oh wait oops the natives aren't going to turn on each other so this is actually hard
we can go to zakhara and ARABIAN NIIIIIIIGHTS and finally figure out what's up with those fucking ancient giants
let's go to the bloodstone lands and have castlevania adventures and plunder zhengyi's fucking spaceship or whatever the hell castle perilous actually is
we could reactivate the fucking murdergolem factories in the utter east or just deal with the ungodly amount of demons stuck under them
there's that place around sembia that's just ruled by the fucking vampire mafia that disappear every day
another thay-mulhorand-rasheman guerilla war
fucking anything but more sword coast

>>76946622
Sossal is the far nothern area above kara-tur and rashemen, way off in the east. Yes it's more north, but that's apparently all they want to do.

>>76946506
Obviously he precast Longstrider and he had minions start combat with you so he can also see the initiative and plan around it.

>>76946622
I just don't use forgotten realms at all cause its a horrible combination of fucking boring and not fleshed out.
Not only is there really nothing cool to use, the lame shit they do have doesn't actually have the info a DM needs to run it properly anwyay so you end up having to wing everything regardless while using a generic boring setting as your inspiration.

Its best to just drop Forgotten Realms entirely

>Integrated Protection. Your body has built-in defensive layers, which can be enhanced with armor.
>You gain a +1 bonus to Armor Class.
>You can don only armor with which you have proficiency. To don armor, you must incorporate it into your body over the course of 1 hour, during which you must remain in contact with the armor. To doff armor, you must spend 1 hour removing it. You can rest while donning or doffing armor in this way.
>While you live, your armor can't be removed from your body against your will.

Depending on the source book/UA you're using a warforged can wear armour

>>76946653
>a horrible combination of fucking boring and not fleshed out
No, you just aren't aware of the cool parts because EVERY FUCKING EDITION AND GAME SPENDS ALL ITS TIME IN THE FUCKING SWORD COAST AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

IT HAS EVERYTHING
THAT EVERYTHING JUST ISN'T IN THE FUCKING TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE MAP

>>76946676
It's really a shame, I've used those unmarked continents in so may awesome games.

>>76946676
>No, you just aren't aware of the cool parts because EVERY FUCKING EDITION AND GAME SPENDS ALL ITS TIME IN THE FUCKING SWORD COAST AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Thats my point, they only write about the most boring parts and the rest of it is basically ideas guy tier where they just say "Haha wouldn't it be cool if-" and then you have to do all the fuckin work yourself

>>76946711
>and then you have to do all the fuckin work yourself

Wait, I have to think and come up with shit? Fuck being a DM then.

>>76946711
A ton of this stuff actually has been fleshed out, you just have to use past editions. Don't be the guy who picks up Mystara and plunks the party down in Karameikos only to bitch about how it just seems like medieval England.

You guys actually use the canon settings?

>>76946733
The whole point of using a pre-written setting instead of making your own is that the work is already done.
Why even use such a boring setting if you're writing 80% of it yourself? Why not just start from scratch with a cooler setting

You might as well complain that no one can play a Cleric in 5E because there's no good info on who the fuck Kossuth is in the PHB and DMG
Pick up 2E's Faiths and Avatars for fuck's sake
The Utter East was mostly used in a goddamn RTS that no one remembers and there's details on like 10 different human ethnicities and their currencies and past conflicts and interbreeding and shit for fuck's sake

It's not falling into any trap. The firebolt is not targeting an object (in this instance), so heat metal has to be considered wholly separate.

Furthermore, there is, at least, the verbiage required for a DM to make the case that a suit of armor is actually many objects and some of them may be damaged by heat metal existent in the DMG.

DMG
>For the purpose of these rules, an object is a discrete, inanimate item like a window, door, sword, book, table, chair, or stone, not a building or a vehicle that is composed of many other objects.

For expedience, the suit of plate armor is usually treated as a single object, and that makes sense. But if a DM wanted to be a little more granular, they wouldn't be just making up rules if they had, say, the breastplate component heat up and eventually damage the undergarments and straps that keep it affixed.

Is that level of realism useful? I don't think so, but it's a more sensible interpretation of how the spell works, if you want to get into the minutiae

Listen to these anons, I'm literally just grabbing AD&D/1e books out of the trove for forgotten realms lore.

People have already statted out most of the basic old stuff, so there's not much you have to change unless it's got player-oriented mechanics.

>>76946815
And we have to keep some of those practical considerations in mind that aren't strictly RAW, because otherwise we wouldn't have things like spreading fires, or water breaching a dam, or what have you. There are literally an infinite number of cases where the rules don't specify what happens (what happens when you knock over a cup of wine?) that we have to borrow an understanding of how reality works in order to interpret what happens in game.

>>76946813
But saying that I'm a half-cormyrian half-damaran isn't as sexy as saying i'm a half-french half-transylvanian man with a heavy euro accent.

>>76946851
My table had a brief autismfit when we first started playing when we realized how many spells say you can only fire it at a creature.
One player was playing a Warlock at the time and started joking about using his Eldritch Blast as a mimic detector in every room since clearly he can only fire it at creatures not objects.
The DM loosened up on the rules lawyering over time after that started

>>76946838
Ironically, 4E had a huge write-up on most of Forgotten Realms and the changes that the Spellfire Whatever wrought. They've since tried to forget most of that happened in a way that's not really well-explained, but it does all exist in one book that's fairly concise, and some of it was interesting. A whole nation run by Gestapo Warlocks mining the corpse of a god that fell out of space? Sure.

>>76946915
Yeah, it went from the Great Wheel cosmology to World Axis cosmology right? I constantly drown myself in the forgotten realms wiki while I GM my FR game, and they have all the cosmology lore all blended together so it gets confusing.

>>76946903
I agree. I think it's important to understand the rules as they are written, so that everyone can also understand their failing and that there are times to deviate from them.

I'm creating a Wood Elf Scout Rogue with a history of being a hunter/tradesman living in a small village. I figure that thieves' tools could be used to make hunting traps, but I'm a bit tapped for ideas besides snares and bear traps. What other kind of traps might a hunter or frontiersman use?

>>76946938
The extraplanar cosmological stuff is honestly the dumbest thing 4E did, made clear by how quickly FR went back on that in 5E and pretended it never happened.

All the historical cosmological stuff, like the primordial war, was GREAT. But blowing up the way the Inner and Outer Planes work to create one boring Astral Sea and one Elemental Chaos was unnecessary. When I play 5E FR, I prefer to run the 4E planar history but with the Great Wheel as it was of 3X.

>>76946976
I should follow your lead, because I also like some of the minor stuff in World Axis cosmology, but also hate the elemental stuff. Cleaning up how many fucking upper/lower planes there were was smart.

Bane being an actual cool god in 4e was awesome, so keeping that lore is good in my book.

>>76946968
Bomb traps

>>76946997
I think there's some confusion here. I disliked the clean-up of the number of planes. What I enjoyed was the Dawn War and the ancient history added to the setting.

I do not want an Elemental Chaos. I want four elemental planes, their quasi-elemental planes, their demi-elemental planes, and so on.

>>76946968
Squirrel noose traps are pretty cool. Not too useful in combat, but handy for a quick treat that can't be beat.

>>76946968
Tripwires, punji spikes, etc

>>76947037
You didn't like some of the unnecessary upper planes, like ones that JUST had god planes, being folded together?

I also fucking hate the elemental chaos, I love genasi and the planar shenanigans on the normal elemental planes. If your GM says no Sigil, the City of Brass still serves the same purpose.

||I'm hoping my players get stuck in the frostfell sometime soon.||

>>76947068
I enjoy alignment as a cosmic force as intended in FR, so the existence of upper and lower planes dedicated to those suits me just fine. And the intermediate planes, like Bytopia or Arcadia, serve the same purpose as the quasi- or para-elemental planes of the Inner Planes.

They all touch and are only as big or small as you want them to be (as far as traversal goes), so I never really saw the point in chucking them all on their own little islands and mixing everything up. Planes are wacky. Let them stay wacky.

>>76946968
Why not just be the trap?

>>76947107
You wanna get wacky? Do you know how the astral realm works, ONLY WHILE YOU'RE IN KARA-TUR? Turns into an entirely different upper/lower plane cosmology. Spirit World instead of the astral sea, Emperor's spiritual heavens, and then the underworld, and then shit like the mad monkey's dimension/island.

>>76947108
>tfw you will never have a lithe, androgynous wood elf scout buddy that lets you fuck them in the ass after long scouting shifts

>>76947127
Zakhara does some similar shit but only for SOME of the planes, because the Elemental Lords (Kossuth/Istishia/Grumbar/Akadi) still exist there.

Then there's the other fucking planet which is in fact the same planet but separated by time and with a different set of deities. Yet Drow are still there. Despite having been created after the split. By deities not present on the other one. Fucking Drow.

Your fault/his fault in setting. Run with it. Adapt, overcome, have the same BBEG power source do it over but fix the mistakes.

>>76947163
Legendary Resistances my dude
Give your big bosses at least one if you don't want them getting clowned on
You could even be dramatic and let Dominate Person work for a turn or two before they break out with their legendary resistance

>>76946968
Deadfall traps are probably one of the most ubiquitous traps in history. They can be scaled down to kill small rodents and up to even kill bears and other large animals. They're pretty much completely ineffective against humans though, because even if you've never seen one, they are really conspicuous and hard to camouflage. Humans have also been using pitfall traps for a long time, and they are much easier to use against other humans. They've even been used in recent wars.

Both of these are pretty labor intensive, and I dunno how much your typical elf values practicality vs elegance. So they might be a little uncharacteristic.

>>76947163

>boss doesn't have legendary resistance

>>76947173
Not even talking about those, but the Abeir and Toril divide. It's some Ultima Online shard shit going on there.

The other planets, like Oerth and shit, all have their own deities and cosmologies that are only present for them. But you can move from one to the other along a space river (which only flows in one direction, though it is circular).

Actual Real Earth is also reachable through magic and has all of its deities, which is where the Mulhorandi people and their Egyptian pantheon came from: straight-up Stargated on over, with Ao saying, "yeah okay i guess you can bring thoth and ra and shit if you guys want".

Orcs and Dwarves are also from different planets, not native to Abeir-Toril.

>>76947192
>Both of these are pretty labor intensive
You can make a good pitfall trap in about 30 seconds with Mold Earth

>>76947212
I remember reading about the Mulan/Mulhorandi shift over. Ao summoned some random ass outer god named P'Tah, who made some artifact to guide them through the stars.

I think that planar-sailing artifact is buried in chult, and was a minor ship upgrade in another module.

>>76947214
It's a rogue we're talking about, but that is true.

>>76947189
>>76947193
LR feels so cheap to use though, ugh. And I roll in the open too, so no fudging there. I was hoping two Indomitable rerolls would get me through it.
>>76947184
Maybe throwing Magic Resistance on those big bosses would work. Come to think of it, the only campaign I ever ran that didn't devolve into "casters win" was Descent Into Avernus, aka "everything past level 5 has magic resistance, suck it up"

>>76947163
>>76947189
>>76947193
Legendary Resistance is bad.
Conditional Clearing is good.
It's like LR, but comes at a cost and doesn't instantaneously negate the casters' spells, leaving them in this dumb limbo of "wasting turns until they get to do something".
Negative conditions and spells affect a baddie that fails their save until that baddie's next turn (you ARE using multiple initiatives for your big bads, aren't you?) at which point they can use a reaction to get rid of the condition by burning some other resource, like taking damage commensurate with the severity of the condition or the spell level used to inflict it, or losing a bonus they had.

Your boss lasts longer and the casters get to feel like their shit did something every turn they succeeded, not just 4-6 turns later.

>>76947163
>WAAAAAHHH WAAHHHHH MY PLAYERS OUTSMARTED ME NERF CASTERS WAAAHHHHH
god why are so many dms such insufferable faggots

>>76947241
LR exists as a mechanic for a reason. Force the casters to at least burn a couple extra slots to make sure their "I win" button hits

>>76947241

Legendary Resistance isn't cheap, it's important so your boss doesn't get negated by save or sucks.

also yes, Magic Resistance is ubiquitous for a reason.

>>76947232
Yeah. The Mulhorandi people were yoinked over and enslaved. Lacking their gods, they couldn't fight back. Ao thought that was fucked and rang up P'tah, who gathered the rest of the pantheon and had them sail over, then they came down and could once again grant spells to the Mulhorandi who waged their guerilla war for freedom.

>>76947241
>I roll in the open too,
That's no one's fault but your own.

>>76947241
LR is necessary, because mythic actions also use them.

>>76947273
Yeah, that's one of the few cases where I look at Ao (who I consider an asshole because he doesn't give his clerics power) and think that he might be fit for the job he has.

It still makes me laugh that the guiding artifact is a SAILING SHIP ONLY upgrade item now though. Fuck you, planescape.

>>76947163
honestly 9th level is where the game really starts to get rough for DMs I think
casters are now throwing out DC17 save or sucks, and have enough choice of spells to target a weak save
martials have a +9 to hit , so AC either needs to get inflated or it just doesn't feel like it does anything

>>76947255
>DM tries really hard to set up cool stuff
>players clown on it like it was nothing
>players are probably waiting for a big cool thing to happen or the session will feel stupid
>thought that big cool thing you had planned would last longer so now you're short on content for the session and have to start improv-ing

You say this like its you vs the DM and the DM is salty he lost, but really the DM is salty because he spent a lot of time planning out something that he thought was gonna be really cool and exciting and instead it all fell flat on its face because of shitty RNG.
The DM isn't trying to beat the players, he's trying to entertain them, so when you spend a lot of time on a BIG moment for a session and it fails thats when the DM really loses.

>>76947328

your players probably thought they whooped that big guy's ass and then didn't give a shit quit being a fucking baby

>>76947275
>tfw too autistic to roll behind a screen

>>76947248
>leaving them in this dumb limbo of "wasting turns until they get to do something".
Or you know, risk a spell versus doing something with guaranteed results. If the guy passed the save then you would think the casters are just wasting their time. Kind of the point of most big spells, they're not "I win buttons", they're always a gamble versus guaranteed action.
>(you ARE using multiple initiatives for your big bads, aren't you?)
Boy can you imagine if there was some sort of legendary action that could be taken on other turns?
Bet you give minions 1 hit points because nothing without plot relevancy deserves a name or stats.

>>76947351
>your players probably thought they whooped that big guy's ass and then didn't give a shit quit being a fucking baby
Why the fuck would they think that when as far as they saw he was a total jobber. The only person who knew it was going to be a big boss was the DM, the players just dunked on some shitter that never did anything cool. As far as they know the encounter wasn't special at all.

>>76947364
>>76947275
I roll in the open sometimes, but I also roll behind the screen for shit where the players shouldn't know the result

A kobold from a savage tribe that is obsessed with the hunt and with hunting bigger and badder creatures his soul can become bigger and stronger . How would Rogue Phantom would fit?

>>76947367
>flip a coin to win or do nothing
wow great design

>>76947385

yeah they dunked on some shitter and it felt totally fucking awesome

they're definitely gonna give each other congratulatory ass pats and handjobs in the locker room shower afterwards so instead of feeling so disappointed and paranoid just take the lessons you learned from this failure and apply it next time

>>76947328
no you are clearly asshurt that you didn't tpk your players, you're a cunt
if your reaction to your players succeeding and HAVING FUN is
>waaaahhh they're too strong!
then maybe co-op games with other human beings aren't for you, faggot

>>76947393
Does the kobold enjoy coins, and using souls as coins?
'cause he should, because devils love that shit.

>>76947395
No no no, you don't understand
The alternative is a guaranteed something (which may be very little), so by another option existing which is different from that, it's automatically cool and good actually.

>>76947395
>using random chance to determine outcome
who does that?

>>76947419
Not wizards
[Laughs in portents and wall of force]

>>76947367
Legendary actions dropping in at the end of any turn as it suits the DM is just arbitrary nonsense. Restrict yourself to one of multiple initiatives and open the game to the realm of planning and forethought.

>>76947442
>portents
explicitly runs on random chance

>>76947387
Like an int save?

>>76947398
>yeah they dunked on some shitter and it felt totally fucking awesome
Then why do players always get so bored and whiny during dungeon crawls where they have to dunk on shitters?
I don't think they'll feel all that awesome at all if the enemy doesn't seem like it actually could have fought back.

I once set up a whole ass dungeon that was supposed to lead to an epic showdown with a Mindflayer, but the players wombo combo'd him to death in 3 turns before he could literally do anything. I opened with a small ability so I didn't demo anyone too early into the fight and that ended up being the last thing the mind flayer got to do. The final boss of the entire dungeon took less time than almost every other minor combat on the way to him. The fucking rock crabs the players fought earlier where they had to flip them over to lower the AC first was more of an epic struggle than the fight with the big bad evil guy.

They just kinda killed him, took his loot and looked at me like "okay what happens next, is that it?"
There was no celebration for finally pulling it off and stopping the mind flayer, they just grabbed the magic trinket and left. When they talk about that campaign they never talk about the epic showdown I spent hours setting up, they talk about a contest of strength with a bullywug or the stupid rock crab shit.

>>76947406
>no you are clearly asshurt that you didn't tpk your players
You have never DM'd a game in your life.

>>76947410
He do not, it is a savage setting no coins but other type of wealth

>>76947459
And stealth checks, how the fuck is the player supposed to know he did a really good or bad job trying to hide, he's literally always trying to do a good job, the roll just determines how the world reacts to it. When players roll stealth I never show or tell them the result of the roll, I just say "okay you feel like you're sufficiently hidden"

>>76947456
Fine, Convergent Future then. I did not want to resort to Matt Mercer's content for a joke, but you've forced my hand

>>76947466
Then he should be an Ancestral Guardians Barb, or a Ranger Monster Slayer or something.

>>76947442
Exactly. Other classes use random chance to determine incremental progress. But then you've got spells that use random chance to shit into your hand and smear it over the board.
>it's okay though because the DM can write himself a few one-use No Shit Coupons
whew the session can continue for another two turns i guess

RULE OF NATURE NIGGERS

If our caster and the enemy caster both use blink do they do battle in the ethereal plane?

got any interesting build ideas /5eg/?

I'm bored, my brain is fried and I'm looking for something to keep my mind working or at least amused

>>76947469
The world's reaction is partially covered by the contested Perception checks. A character who truly beefs their Stealth check should probably be able to tell, though. I'm cool with hiding them, but if someone gets like a 1-3 I'll probably give them a heads up that they know they've crunched some twigs or clipped their shoulder when turning a corner.

>>76947471
Sorry, I allow some homebrew and UA at my table and I'm pretty flexible, but nothing by mercer at my table, not even spells.

Also still requires a roll to have a random chance component, sorry.

You're right on wall of force though, especially if you have the cube of force, or whatever the magic item is.

>>76947469
>When players roll stealth I never show or tell them the result of the roll
yeah but like, if you're sneaking around, you know if you make noise or do something to draw attention

>>76947488
Just roll a wizard, everything in 5e boils down spells

>>76947485
No. They make out in the ethereal plane.

>>76947485
They would only return to the Ethereal Plane at the end of their turns so they could only do something if they readied an action, I guess?

>>76947488
I keep thinking about a Fighter (Battlemaster), with either a kensei or a four elements monk. Not great, but would be really fun to roleplay. I'd use it to replicate old Tome of Battle stuff.

>>76947497
Yeah but you're trying not to to the best of your ability.
If you let your players roll stealth out in the open, and they get a 2, they'll just say "Oh I'm stealthed bad so lets do something else"
I like to let them try to hide, and then they won't know how well hidden they are till they either get caught or they don't. But I find rolling behind the screen for stealth prevents lame metagaming

>>76947497
>his rogue isn't so high on his own farts that he's deaf to the sound of his own bumbling through tin can traps until he's all the way in the middle of the bugbear camp
heh, maybe try some ROLEplay next time, kiddo

Yes, I am a professional retard. Why do you ask?

>>76947485
each round is 6 seconds of combat and blink is exactly that, a blink
what it would actually look like is the wizards teleporting in for about 2 seconds to blast each other before vanishing again while everyone else fights normally

>wizard and warlock fly into a newly created accelerated time demiplane, while rest of party is stuck on the ground
>fight finishes without us, with the DM and two other players separating and roleplaying it out with the rest of us
i hate this game

>>76947469

you should be able to know how you're doing on a stealth roll. Like if you roll low and step on a creaky floor board or something

>>76947497
>>76947519
Stealth rolls outside of combat should only be done at a point where an enemy might notice you so you're really just rolling for how sneaky you are at that particular instance and what happened. Obviously the player is trying their best but sometimes the guard just randomly turns around at the wrong time, oh well.

The hide action in combat is different, and your player finds out if they fucked up if the cultist who moves next totally just saw them hide behind that barrel moves their Spiritual Weapon over to bonk their ass

>>76947519
This is why you don't call for checks until there's an element of consequence involved, or you're bluffing about one.

If PCs are sneaking down a hall and there's a chance the enemies in an adjoining room could hear them, the result of the Stealth check occurs at the point of greatest danger, when they could conceivably be detected. You don't have them roll Stealth, get a 2, and let them say, "Oh, well I guess we beefed this Stealth roll, good thing we only got five feet down the hall. We can stop and go around." No, their goal was to get down the hall and that 2 means they made noise right outside the fucking door. Oopsie.

>>76947497
Right, but you may only notice when it is too late. Such as stepping on a branch right as you're passing the tents, because you weren't an expert all the way through.

>>76947532

>>76947532

>>76947580
Your hyper weapon is weak.

There any good Homebrews on playing a Dragon, like how Pathfinder had ‘In The Company of Dragons’? We’re switching to 5E and my player wants to remake his character.

>>76947675
no, there isn't.

>>76946813
>tfw no dead grandpa yard sale loaded with TSR splats

>>76947650
Playing him is a bit hard. I'm a brute and a jerk but I'm stuck running around with MEN and some uggo women (Dwarf woman and a half-dragon woman). Not only that, but we're stuck in Amn. "Lance" got taken out by some Wyverns (how he was introduced to the story) so he's taking out the nearby ones and taking his anger out on them. He also punched a kobold's skull in because it ran up to him when he was kicking a wyvern.

I think it was good enough. The players love him.

>>76947675
>Switching from pathfinder to 5e
I'm running and playing 5e, and I'm still confused why you would do this and expect ANY direct equivalence.
Are both you and your player stupid?

>>76947675
No, 5e homebrew is catastrophically bad generally, and particularly awful when it comes to homebrew races or classes.
I would recommend that your player play a "dragon" that shapeshifted into a humanoid race and got locked in form by Tiamat or something. Have them pick Draconic Sorcerer, and flavor the class feature upgrades as regaining parts of their inbuilt draconic power.
At level 17 they can take True Polymorph and permanently transform back into a proper dragon, which you can flavor as breaking the curse.

>>76947719
I put him as a Soldier background, only because the DM wouldn't allow a custom background. I've basically copy pasted his backstory a bit and gave it to the dm but with the altercation that he hasn't owned a slave yet. (Because even though he's CN, the rest of the party would probably object).

The first prerogative of mine is to find a hireling, or better yet, a slave, that I can have carry all my shit. A plus if it's a cute girl.

>Kept the exhaustion penalty for frenzying the same
Of all the things you could have changed, why leave this in as it was?
at least you provided a reason to possibly frenzy more than once, but they are nowhere near good enough to offset the penalties exhaustion incurs
>speed increases to 10 feet
Fair enough, if weird since you are exhausted
>Add 1d4 to AC
neat idea of dropping back down to "normal speed" (for a dwarf) in return for more AC, but odds are people are gonna be looking to clean up exhaustion unless it is nothing but combat during the session because disadvantage on checks is a bitch
>Extra damage dice
I doubt you will get much use out of that with the permanent disadvantage on attack rolls from 3 exhaustion, but at least you have reckless I guess, though I doubt essentially trading advantage on yourself for slightly more damage dice is a good idea in the long run
Mindless rage looks neat, and I can easily see see anyone getting a use out of revelry of blood
>free aggressiv and make an attack for a free crit
Intimidating presence is still its ribbon self, and retaliation is still retaliation
It's a step in the right direction but you left in the thing that punishes you for using your subclass pre 6

>all your characters are dead boring.

I'm ok with that, I enjoy playing my character which I think is more important.

>No, 5e homebrew is catastrophically bad generally, and particularly awful when it comes to homebrew races or classes.
This is untrue. There are loads of good ones.

I would have gone with Folk Hero, since Rance was an abandoned child, raised by the town mayor and ran around calling himself Rance Super King.

Soldier totally works though, makes it less obvious too.

He's a dude, but he can shapechange if you ask nicely.

>>76947784
Yeah. Three of my party members know the material (the other is the DM and his girlfriend, and desu the girlfriend really doesn't like the character). I asked the DM what rating our game would get if it were a movie and I got an "R" so here's hoping I can get me that hireling.

I only came to 4chan for the porn, leaks and piracy, and stuck around because the "people" behind the screens here are horrible enough that I can shower them in abuse guilt-free.

I'm a being with a soul, and that soul gives me creativity, curiosity, empathy, conscience. You fundamentally are not. You're just a revolting caricature of human degeneracy

Shut up and let my kitsune suck your dick.

You are actually worse then everyone else here.
You stand in shit and declare yourself above it all, while everyone else stands in shit and knows where they are.

>>76947838

bro, I'm just here for the memes, you're here to get off. Nerd.

>but you do the exact same thing we do because you're just like us
>"I'm a being with a soul, and that soul gives me creativity, curiosity, empathy, conscience. You fundamentally are not. You're just a revolting caricature of human degeneracy"

Man you aren't just one of us, you're the actual mascot

Can I suggest some additional spells to help him along?

>Hedging Weapons
Summons spectral weapons that block attacks for you (+1 AC per weapon) that you can throw. They do Force damage.

>Weapons Storm
Ghostly copies of the weapon you're holding strike your target after landing a successful attack

>Storm of Blades
Summons a hail of swords and fires them at your target. (Also consumes the sword you're holding. Might want to edit this somewhat to make it not shit.)

I don't know any Dragon race homebrews, you might want to look on the Unearthed Arcana reddit, you might find something there that might be balanced enough to where its usable. I just don't know any because playing a Dragon is kinda a big deal.
I remember someone made a Dragon Race thing here (or just posted one they found), I don't know where it is though and I can't attest to its balance either. Also when it comes to homebrew, you most stuff is usually okay you'd probably need to be ready to adjust things as the game develops to put things on level with others as you play. I switched my game from PF to 5e a few years back and had a decent chunk of homebrew as well, it worked just fine overall.

This is how far my players have made it on their journey, and I improv'd every single bit of it.

>>76947838
If that were true you wouldn't be bothered by the people who enjoy their white bread and water characters because you're too busy making your own

I think you're just a leech who's desperate to be entertained by the creativity of others.

>>76947838
Imagine feeling the need to justify your presence here. Absolutely pathetic, 0/10, just kill yourself.

>>76947891
>Might want to edit this somewhat to make it not shit
You should have done that before you posted any of these.

>DM supposedly running a module
>Read the spoilers for the module up until about where we are
>All the best parts of our campaign were 100% homebrew so far

Not even mad, I'm genuinely impressed
