D&D 5E We Played 5th Edition for the First Time Last Night

[Mark CMG]

Shouldn't that ghoul bite be 12 average damage instead of 9? It seems odd given the other creatures' stats.

It *does* say "9" in the Starter Set adventure but . . .

Yup. I'm blind. It should be 9 (2d6+2).

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Thank you Fitz, don't suppose you have the basics for the Goblin as well?

Sure! (I thought you might have them already.)

Goblin (Sm Goblinoid, NE)
AC 15 HP 7 (2d6) Spd 30'
Abilities 8/14/10/10/8/8
Steath +6, Darkvision, Pass Perc 9
CR 1/4 (50xp)
Nimble Escape - Goblins can Disengage or Hide as a bonus action each turn
Scimitar +4; 5 (1d6+2) Slashing
or Shortbow +4; 5 (1d5+2) Piercing

(I've fought them - they're actually nastier than you might expect. They can hit pretty high DC hides and you've got to spend an action to find them if its over your passive perception, they get away, and their AC is higher than you might expect. Nasty little guys. I like it.)

Any others you need?

Thanks again. Had the goblin from the PDF posted earlier in the week but quite a bit different to this one.

Hopefully I'll have the Starter Set before we play but just in case an Orc would be good thanks.

 

[Lord Vangarel]

Judging the XP values of monsters would a CR 2 be 300XP or 400XP?

You got it!

Orc (Med Humanoid CE)
AC 13 HP 15 (2d8+6) Spd 30'
Abilities 16/12/16/7/11/10
Intimidation +2, Darkvision, PPerc 10
CR 1/2 (100xp)
Aggressive - As a bonus action an orc can move up to its speed towards a hostile creature it can see
Greataxe +5; 9 (1d12+3) Slashing
or Javelin +5; 6 (1d6+3) Piercing


Pretty Nasty!

Looks like CR2 is 450xp, like the Ogre.

Thanks again Fitz. Can you tell me what a CR3 is worth then?

Thanks again Fitz. Can you tell me what a CR3 is worth then?

I can guess for you.

1/4 CR = 50
1/2 CR = 100
2 CR = 450

So you would think that a 3 CR would be in the 650-700 range based off of the previous numbers.

It's 700. Good job.

Thaumaturge.
