I also tend to think it's rather annoying and poor form for a first level spell to have costly material components. I'm looking at you, Chromatic Orb and Identify. Because that just cuts your starting spell list down when making your first level wizard before you have any gold to spend on...

No. Move and fire is what I wanted, because it gets him into melee and allows him to potentially do damage. Dashing is just a wasted turn, it seems to me. Doing some ranged damage before I get there might save me taking some damage because they might go down faster once I get there to hit them...

OOC: Yes, Silvi healed everyone 4 points. Pak's turn was for last round when he had the ability to act because his fast healing revived him before the bleed put him down again. He can take his turn for this round now, too, with Silvi's 4 healing.

One of the books I'm reading now is this. It is good so far.

Gauntlgrym was actually one of my favorites.

Insight: 1D20+2 = [17]+2 = 19

Oh, melee is what he's focused on and what I'm building (strength first). It's just he's a dwarf (slow!), so it takes time to close, and firing ranged is tactically more sound than rushing in to get pummeled violently. By logic, he should just stay on that rock and make the orcs come to him...

I'll throw two more crossbow attacks in, I guess, to copy the round I just posted. He'll probably shoot at the same orcs. Heavy Crossbow Hunters Mark: 1D20+4 = [8]+4 = 12 1D10+1D6+1 = [6]+[5]+1 = 12 Heavy Crossbow: 1D20+4 = [18]+4 = 22 1D10+1 = [6]+1 = 7

But all the build advice is always ASI your main stat first before taking feats. Only exception is VHuman that can start with a feat. But yeah, feats are fun, but then you get into actually rolling dice or forcing saving throws, and you find how quickly behind the curve you are.

Yeah, I did kind of like how The Companions went. It was fun. I wasn't too much of a fan of the dark companions, but I read them. Though Ambergris was kind of cool. Pretty basic, but a dwarven cleric is always good in my book :)

Well, he kinda has to do what he's told, or lose the ability to write the novels and make all that money. They aren't his characters and setting to mess with. I didn't mind the time jump so much, but then I was only just getting into D&D in 4e (my first edition), so I didn't have a lot of...

Well, it was a little complicated what happened. Salvatore got screwed by the 4e time jump of 100 to 150 years, which meant that most of his cast of characters (Cattie-Brie, Regis, Wulfgar) were going to be dead. So he wrote a trilogy and at least one short story to deal with that. Cattie-Brie...

OOC: When does the fast healing stop them? I would assume everything stops when you go down. Is it Dying 4 or Dying 5 that kills you? I thought you had one more round. And as Kaodi said, it looks like you could have taken an action. In any case, you should have Hero Points that you can spend to...

I set last year's goal for 45 and read 47, so I set this year for 50. We'll see how it goes!

Lower Tavick’s Landing Far, 28 Rhaan, YK 998 (Early autumn)/1400 Weather: Temperature normal for the season (cool), no wind, light rain (outside the towers) Round 4 Something inside Ogham suddenly revives the warforged, and the construct behind focuses, igniting a fire under one of the Daask...

Actually, Angis only fired once. His turn just had two attacks in it. If he were using his axes, he'd have gotten four attacks. Angis normal turn: Action Extra attack (two attacks), Two Weapon Fighting (one attack), Hordbreaker (1 attack against adjacent target). But since he's on his crossbow...

Angis Honack Harpshield Castle Afternoon Round 3 Seeing the leader go down, Angis transferred his magical mark to the one-eyed orc priest as he strode forward, loading two more bolgsinto his heavy crossbow. He took aim, firing at the orc priest and the orc archer standing next to him. ***...

Ruznami Warmaker Vermellion Day 24/Morning Round 2 Ruznami clambered further down the stairs, nearly reaching the bottom, but he could see the creature now holding Shedrick. Argenti was a bit in the way, but the dwarven mage lifted his wand and swirled it, gathering fire and shooting it at the...

Ever since that stupid tweet by Crawford, I tend to just buy a vial of holy water and count it as done. As you said, it doesn't say how much holy water you need, and a vial is a pound of water, so that's pretty hefty amount of holy water (25 gp of silver). That's a damn expensive spell if it...
