When A Star Falls (5.5 rules) update: My Level 4 four-player party gobbled up both the Memory Web and Sion with a single PC taking 11 damage after both fights. From here I think I am going to move into giving any unique monsters their max HP instead of average. As far as I can tell though...

They probably should have used a comma in the weapon list. Rogues have a shortbow in their starting equipment so it's definitely supposed to be all Simple weapons.

Updated the Tiefling Bard's token following some events, and added a Goblin Artificer to the game. The goblin player requested the character's appearance be based on Fumbus from Pathfinder rather than a D&D goblin. An emoji for a guest player's character in a different game.

Sign me up for the "I become my choice of King Kong, Godzilla (actually I guess this is more of a kraken), or Mothra every time I Wild Shape" druid. I wonder if the Soth art shown on the timeline is actually for the Death Knight path?

Yeah I think I'm going with this, thanks lol. Also you and @Zardnaar will be delighted to know my party has both a War Cleric and a Dance Bard! It's a very powerful party, I'm sure. Thank you for explaining. I think I have some disagreement with the Sage Advice, but I'm just going to make it...

I wasn't really thinking about Material and Somatic together, just that the Somatic component seemingly requires a free hand, except if the user takes War Caster. Somatic Component: A Somatic component is a forceful gesticulation or an intricate set of gestures. A spellcaster must use at least...

My War Cleric asked me how his domain bonus action War Priest interacts with casting of spells. He did not pick the War Caster feat, so I'm trying to work out what this means for him. I feel I have gone down a rabbit hole. I want to check if I know what I'm talking about before I go back to him...

The OP alerted me to this module existing and is very thorough, so I thought I'd follow up with my experience going through this module with my Bard player. Short version: Buy this and run it for your arcane caster if you are using Dragonlance! Bard's Test results She chose the Red Robes of...

That is the actual playtime. I record the sessions so I just added up the recording times. I do include the players' recap of the previous session in the recording, but I would say that's 1-5 minutes. I also checked how much time they spent on each floor. Pardon my rounding. 7% - Floor 1 9% -...

Finished The Lost City yesterday. My players really enjoyed the Zargon social encounter. Instead of having to give any treasure to him, they outwitted him and evaded a couple attacks to make their escape. I also had a pinch-hitter for the final floor because of some scheduling uncertainties...

Shadow of the Dragon Queen had a kinda weird summary of Soth's story. I guess I can give this book points for relaying as many gory details as possible. Great story for the kids. 😂

I think they should be brave and add a Solamnic Knight mustache to that gooey Soth head. The Nosferatu remake was in 2024, crazy undead mustaches are back in!* *Though I actually recall a large number of people hating the mustache in Nosferatu...

Early Access launched today. I have to finish RE9 before I can try it but here is the info. Trailer - Roadmap - EA launch blog - Solasta 2 EA ancestries: Human Elf Dwarf Halfling EA classes (full details for class/subclass here) Fighter Wizard Rogue Paladin Sorcerer Cleric edit: Though...

It was a second Session Zero so we could discuss expectations as the campaign resumed.

The DM did burn out in 2021 so there was a ~1.5-year break. Then we picked back up and, well, this is our progress. We just added a new player. He will be introducing his character on Saturday. The "2-" is because this is Arc 2 of the campaign. There was also an Arc 1. The DM believes we will...
