:lol: The majority of the arguments I have seen have no true validity. 1. Its a fantasy game. 2. Review statement 1. 3. Dex built characters are hard to hit, but will never reach the damage potential of Strength based or specific character concepts without multiclasssing. That being said, i...

I guess the real takeaway is to work on my improvisation and just keep on moving forward. If they wish to start including realistic expectations, I will point out that at later levels characters can literally fall hundreds of feet and not die instantly from it. If they are that unhappy with my...

I’m all for letting them freelance ideas, but I feel it’s going to take away from the experience if I eliminate the Unknown. Is it really best to give the players every outcome based on their plan. It destroys the mystery and kinda defeats the purpose of even role playing is they know they...

Like I said long story short, they got to this point by scouting out the keep, and determining the Lords chambers, and then proceeded to create an avalanche.

Yeah, well I went with the Chart on the DMG for setting traps and have it a little extra. I feel 15d10 was more than enough because it’s about double if not triple what the players could throw at an enemy. To average it would have meant adding another 7d10.

See that’s the beauty of gaming it can be both, they won’t always have these opportunities, so I applauded the coming up with such a great idea, and it had the chance to kill the enemy. But the dice didn’t fall that way. I’m all for creativity and I will reward it. My keep encounter will still...

So the villain was a Custom build. He had about 120 HP. They rolled low on their damage roll 70 something points. So he was messed up but not dead. I did mention to them that what they were doing may not work the way they thought. I have never been a fan of save or die rolls. They have a track...

Hi everyone it’s been a little while since I’ve posted but I’ve encountered a new issue with my group that I’m dming. Just to keep everyone up to date, all of the information and recommendations were awesome. I was able to keep my group together and we are still gaming together. We we are...

It’s all good, I am always up for healthy discussion. Our main goal for our group is to always have fun. Sometimes we change or mix the rules up to fit the situation. The main thing we strive for is respect at the table. So o try to maintain that thought process with everything including forums...

Thanks for that, I have been very hesitant to post in the discussions I have seen Some people get ripped apart in different threads it gets crazy. I got some really good advice from posters in my first post/question and some not so great information as well. Almost caused a fist-fight with my...

This just happened in my game. My players broke into the main protagonists stronghold to confront him. Something I warned them would be a bad idea. The encounter became progressingly difficult. In this situation, one of my players declared they were securing the door and rolled a Thievery skill...

It’s seems like some of the people in this thread are just trying to troll each other. The conversation has taken an enormous leap away from the original topic. If your players are always in control of their actions. Then a player rolling a skill before, after , or during a description is a...

I want to avoid the sudden ruling of, your powers no longer work. Mostly because the Barbarian is a good guy, but can be a rules lawyering :):):):) and i want to steer clear of starting an argument about the rules after having let this particular piece go on for as long as it has. I just wont...

Credit where its due, she is a fantastic Roll Player, The short version of Her backstory was that of a "Combat Medic". She fought in the wars for her home kingdom and was almost killed in a battle. Losing her whole team and on the brink of death she was rescued by a grove of Druids who took her...

Ok WoW lots a feedback.. Thank you everyone. I will try to answer questions and clarify as best as I can. So in this particular case the group had gone through a 2 "skill challenges" navigating a set of old ruins to locate the Dragons Lair, which was part of an abandoned city connected to a...
