Well today had a spellcaster deal around. Think that was a record today. It was really the control spells carrying. Combination of command, tashas hideous laughter and hold person. 3 casters locked down 7 humans via hold person after winning initiative. Bouncing level 4 chromatic orb on 5...

I think it's mostly to many domain tbh. 55deeigning for all of them would be hard. I've used 3pp ones they're fairly predictable with spell lists and divine strike. Water kinda struggles as it's utility or frost it seems.

Looks like phb restock finally came through.

Well pitchedd it as potential BG4 game. Fairly enthusiastic response. May have found a couple of potential new players. Dibs were kinda called on Karlach, Wyll, Laezel and Astarion. 1 TBD and potentially another 1 TBD. Not sure if it will happen only an idea atm.

They did the death knight Aspirant . Wom initiate blasted the party. Last action they got after command and stunning strikes. Then they bought Bhaalists. Hold person took care of them I don't think any got a go. 4 vampire spawn put up surpringly decent fight. Cleric got bit twice. They...

Alot of 3pp domains.

Early ENsider had them along side Druids for the elements. Midgard has things like ovlcean domain and I would have to check.

Sleep was the most OP spell back then. Early at least. Peak fireball as well maybe B/X.

Irrelevant to what OP was actually asking though. It depends to much on encounter design imho and that groups experience. 4 encounters no break is anywhere between easy mode and tpk.

Yeah I think BK is getting sued over it as to much disparity between promotional images vs what you get.

I hand out enough loot but don't run supermarket magic items. Generally curated items and smaller amounts. Nothing wrong with your groups approach I suspect I'm more generous than some here as well. Atm I'm running it kinda like BG3. I'llusually give then a map of the town or whatever and...

Aware but the threads label 5.0 vs 5.5 hence why I used old rules.

Think I would do warlock if I cared about summoning tbh. Undead and aberration chain lock plus poison condition. Might be my first 5.5 PC as no one else will build that. They're busy picking other warlocks, Dragon sorcerers and bards. Eldritch mind for concentration.

That and various level 1&2 spells worth twining and upcasting. You can twin all your highest level slots from level 3 or so.

8 people are to many for starters. First 5 levels are great then it kinda becomes a slog. Encounters are also easy we cleared the lvl 9 fire one at 6. I played up the cultists counter attacks and devastation orbd. Never completed it but have mined the crap out of it.

Never got around to watching even though it's had lots of Survivor alumni on it

Thunk I prefer new one. It's a lot cheaper sorcery point wise.

That's why I rate new sorcerer so highly. 1 sorcery point to twin spell. Command. Tashas tashas mind whip, hol person. Odds are you won't get 4 failed saves over two rounds vs 10%25% chance of what you got. Also why I think wizards are comparatively weak in 5.5 vs other options like bonus...

Parties normally est when all casters are low. Some new players dtendvto blow their biggest spelks ASAP but they're figuring out pacing a bit better as they're reduced to cantrips. They did rest in a dungeon onc. They got hit at night during said rest and the surviving caster dropped glyphs of...

Except that CR 3 isn't getting a turn a lot of the times imo it has to hit. Command, Tasha's, gold spells etc then the martial beat it up. Controls very strong now along with martial damage. Spellcaster damage is poor generally. There's nit much else to spend coin on. ECMO3 group went to...
