    D&D 5E (2024) How Many HP Should 5E 2024 Minions Have

    As I mentioned in the OP, this is not a concern because I am using Fantasy Grounds. Is it? I mean, usually, yes, but more importantly they are there to a) harry the PCs, and b) make the PCs feel awesome. In this case, minions can't just appear out of thin air.

    These feel like 2 very weird years to compare.

    I think DH PCs are meant to succeed a lot (and I prefer it this way) because "with fear" is still a drama inducing factor regardless of raw success.

    D&D 5E (2024) How Many HP Should 5E 2024 Minions Have

    Yeah, I was trying to avoid any convoluted rules but wanted to avoid 1 HP wonkiness. As to "cleave" I think my main fighter PC relies on that a lot using Weapon Masteries and I don't want to obviate it by giving it away free to everyone.

    When Player Driven Adventures Don't Pan Out

    Of course. No on ehas suggested that. But I was specifically pushing back against the idea of BitD being easy to run a long player driven campaign, given the game is not really intended for 50 session campaigns.

    I want them to have noticeable offensive capabilities so the PCs can't just ignore them.

    I really like this idea. Have you used it in play? If so, how did it work in practice?

    What videogames are you playing in 2026?

    I started DOS2 at the end of the year and am still plugging away at it. I had to drop to Explorer mode, and I am running with 2 "lone wolf" characters instead of the party of 4.

    When Player Driven Adventures Don't Pan Out

    Right, so if 20 sessions is the target, I don't think it is hard to hold together a "player driven campaign" for that length of time. But D&D campaigns tend to run significantly longer (50 or 60 sessions, or more) and it is, in my experience, harder to maintain that player driven aspect over...

    D&D 5E (2024) How Many HP Should 5E 2024 Minions Have

    In tonight's session, it is very likely that the PCs (11th level) are going to end up fighting A LOT of Knights of the Realm and their commander. The Commander is a Legendary character and rides of stone golem horse, but I want the PCs to feel awesome so I am planning on making her soldiers...

    How many sessions.

    I wonder what the average session life of a BitD campaign is.

    This is a prompt not a criticism: If they aren't infectious, how did they get that way? Perhaps someone tried to eliminate the evidence of a murder and the hogs devouring the flesh of a victim changed them?
