Hey @TaranTheWanderer , I was levelling up Stratus and two questions occurred to me: 1) Is he going to be able to find a new shield? Because it might influence my choice of Fighting Style. 2) Ditto for Holy Symbol. It occurs to me that he can't cast spells with an M component now. You...

I figured you knew how it worked, I just think that you underplayed the very important part. You can gain a lot of HP with it, sure, but you won't be doing much else. I've mostly seen it used between combats, or when a PC is in very dire straits. It's good (in that you can start every combat...

I think @Umbran had it right, but reversed it to make a point. The more important point, IMO, is that if it FEELS like WINNING, then you've won. And that's the only way you win, in RPGs. The good news is, it's easy to create that feeing!

It's not 12 THP per round. It's 12 THP whenever you use your Action to get 12 THP.

Team Ambush Saphirion dove out of a tree and flew at the orc mercenary's head, all wings, claws, and hisses. The orc stepped back, waving his arms at the flying cat, and Lorent, who had jogged down toward where the road switched back toward the north, downhill. He sent a bolt of eldritch energy...

No worries. I think we're going at a pretty good pace. Though I'm starting to think that @Kobold Stew might have been right regarding splitting the threads. I like having everything in one place, but it feels "messy" to have two separate groups talking over one another. IDK. We'll see...

I wouldn't say that the passengers would come along, so I wouldn't teleport a kayak, but I don't see why you couldn't use it to move rocks (H2 or H3) they are both large size. While I characterized H3 as "bigger" than H2, what I meant was H2 is like a pile of sharp rocks, where H3 is more like a...

But then Stratus overheard a citizen speaking in awe about a person left outside who had yet to fall from the overwhelming horde. Had they missed someone? Stratus felt ashamed that he'd been so distracted by the chaos. He looked for a ladder or stairs where he could climb up on the gatehouse. A...

Having nearly been taken down, Stratus was relieved to hear the healing word of Corellon. Though he was very devoted to the tenants of the religion of his upbringing, the Sky-Father, he was often unfamiliar with the Gods of the smaller folk. He was glad to know nothing of Dark Gods. He helped...

Perfect! I had placed it like that when I first built the map, but I decided that I wanted spots where you could safely "breathe". It's true that the whole river is "swift current", but I guess there are eddies that are worse. There's a few "behind the screen" things that you aren't aware of...

Team Ambush Terrin's javelin gained so much momentum as it hurled down from on high that it seriously injured the cultist as the scoundrel hurried from the wagon to the cover of the trees. The second javelin buried itself among the tree's roots as the cultist attempted to return fire. He and...

@Tonguez - I'm not sure I understand the specifics of your post. Did you dash? (That would require 2 successful checks, one for your "safe" movement, and one for your Dash Action.). For Shade-9 to get to S-13, he'd be moving 55 feet! In case there's confusion, I'll give you some advice, so it's...

It's based on the same mechanic as skills, though - an ability score and proficiency bonus. I mean, I see why they're generally trying to avoid both the cheese of stacked builds and the slow-at-the-table of rolling two checks for one activity. IDK if I think that they found the best approach...

Team Lake Eager to be out of the way when Aywin and Shade-9's kayak came through the swift current, Loklafd, surrounded in hazards as he was, spun is paddle around to fend off the sharp rocks and push himself away from the approaching shallows. But the river surged as he did so, and it lifted...

How is that more lame than how (nearly) all of spellcasting works? I mean, if you like. I don't see why, myself.

Wow, @Hriston. Crit with Disadvantage. You don't see that every day. I noticed that I didn't put numbers on the two Mercs or the two Cultists. Fixed it for next round, just in case anyone has trouble telling them apart.

No, Round 1 was supposed to start right when you (sort of & unintentionally) derailed it by going for a social encounter instead of an Ambush. Look, it's fine. I'd rather move forward than backtrack, but I bet that there's at least a few other players who would like to have moved twice from...

I managed to make my previously mentioned mistake not turn out too badly by print-screening it in two halves and gluing them together. I hope it's not too confusing that North is now "up" (or too much of a pain for you to scroll around on it) bit hopefully you can better see what's going on...

True. Though I think it's always better in PBP to post NOW, rather than later, so it works better IMO if we just assume that there's no Delay (there isn't anyhow in 5e), there's no Ready, and there's no waiting. There is simply: Tell the DM what you intend the order of events to be, and the DM...
