    D&D 5E How to tear a pc's arm off?

    The whole "pick him up and drop him in the lava" would work... if only the lich didn't prepare fly! At that point it should be something like "drag him inside a pool of acid and just endure the damage cause he's got 100+ more than him"

    D&D 5E How to tear a pc's arm off?

    I'm asking on behalf of a young silver dragon. The black dragon cult and his acid breathing followers the party is going to face now are well equipped to meet a lich. Same as the radiant inquisitors and the thundering druids that are after them ;)

    D&D 5E How to tear a pc's arm off?

    Ah, holy water is another nice asset! Thanks a lot. And yes, his inability to heal was factored in. Being the wizard, he's always the one who insists with long rests... and now he will more than ever! He's the toughest badass around here, but every damage he gets will count double :) However, I...

    D&D 5E How to tear a pc's arm off?

    Yes. In fact, there's a whole court of powerful undead (a dracolich, a vampire, a death knight, a death tyrant, and an actual lich) that will be way pissed off when they hear about this wannabe death lord :D

    Nice try. The Lich has Truesight. ;) Saelorn Yeah, I think some kind of turn undead is in order.

    D&D 5E How to tear a pc's arm off?

    Why people are so against lich pcs? :o it's not like he's ruining the game of something. On the contrary, that session was one of the most dramatic we ever had! As the DM, I was just preoccupied with this particular dragon. I have hordes of magic weilding, acid breathing, psychic damaging...

    D&D 5E How to tear a pc's arm off?

    Ah, I was thinking about some levels of paladin or ranger or even cleric to better represent his devotion in fighting undead! Let's see... Edit: ooooh alter self is a good catch! Well, if this player managed to become a Lich at level 6, I'm confident he will find a way tl get his arms back! :)

    D&D 5E How to tear a pc's arm off?

    Well, the means to become a Lich are not really bound by level. However, to avoid turning in to a Demilich he needs to routenely cast Imprisonment, a 9th level spell, so yes, most Liches are at least 17th level spellcasters. However Doragmal, this demon prince of ours, agreed to provide him...

    D&D 5E How to tear a pc's arm off?

    He gained a lich's resistances and immunities, true sight, prof in con saves, plus a rework of its special attacks, but otherwise he's still a (untouchable) 6th level necromancer. The dragon first helped them empyting a wraith's fortress crawling with undeads, but during this deed the wizard...

    D&D 5E How to tear a pc's arm off?

    Our 6th level tiefling necromancer finally became an actual Lich, breaking a deal with a demon prince (our version of graz'zt) to periodically have an Imprisonment spell cast on a victim until he will be able to do it by himself. Now, with all the resistances immunities that come with being a...

    D&D 5E Spellprepared/known for multiclassed spellcaster

    It should have been asked over and over again, but I can't find anything. Long story short: has a 19 wizard/1 cleric access to 9 level cleric spells?

    D&D 5E Raise Dead/Reincarnate on dead undeads

    Yes, we're going exactly this way, which was the cleric's first idea and the one everyone else is inclined to follow. Also the ghoul's entry clearly specifies that a ghoul's flesh never rots, and that counts for something. All in all, between having to kill the powerful wizard* turned ghoul, and...

    D&D 5E Raise Dead/Reincarnate on dead undeads

    Thanks for the suggestion, but it was their idea to contact a powerful cleric to cast the spell for them (by Shelter of the Faithful of our own cleric). The npc cleric will obviously ask something in return, but as a general rule, I create opposition, they decide the solution, and I think they...

    D&D 5E Raise Dead/Reincarnate on dead undeads

    Actually, the clause is present in raise dead! But revify is an excellent solution for us. I think the clause exist because I can see high priests killing (weak) undeads with true resurrection.

    D&D 5E Raise Dead/Reincarnate on dead undeads

    I don't really know. If it's so unclear, then we'll settle on "the cleric decides (being the most affected character by the situation) and sets this precedent".

    D&D 5E Raise Dead/Reincarnate on dead undeads

    Ok, I'll explain: the party accidentally killed a powerful wizard who might have been a valuable ally. Then our necromancer rushed in and tried to resurrect him using the vats and machinery inside the npc's own laboratory... that no one known creates ghouls. With a 24 in an arcana check, our...

    D&D 5E Phandelver with 2 characters: goblins become kobolds?

    mlund thanks a lor for the input! I ran a couple of test combats for that first encounter and still it seems that having 3-4 kobolds is not really an issue. Either the characters are so unlucky even if they were 6 they would have died, or even with one man down the other one should be able to ko...

    D&D 5E Phandelver with 2 characters: goblins become kobolds?

    Hi! As hinted in the title, I'm going to play with two long time friends. Unwittingly, they're going with a quite balanced party: a human urchin dex-based battlemaster and a half-elf soldier moon druid. So for a two men party, they've got stealth, exploration, healing, social skills, some...
