    [OOC] Quickleaf's Rime of the Frostmaiden [recruiting 1 player]

    5 was changed to, “befriend dogs and get them to leave or hide for long enough that the caravan can’t leave until they find them. “

    What Is A Superhero?

    I'm going to pipe in with my opinion. I can't really say I read the whole thread. They have some super power and they use it for good. Probably a fancy costume and a secret identity. I'm not a fan of "anti-heroes" like Punisher or, especially, Deadpool. Sure, Deadpool is fun and I enjoy it...

    Bump. If we are doing something, someone should execute a plan. Oskar can't help in this endeavor.

    Oh so the HP of the enemies are not representative of the scenario?

    double post. The best strategy is to lure them in, hit them with Tasha’s to incapacitate and then drop a fog cloud on them and then go in and murder them

    D&D 5E (2014) Adjudicating Hide, You Decide Challenge!

    In every scenario, the lizard folk would call a retreat with the one with the most HP screening. If the PCs pursue, the ones with the least hp will use missile weapons to attack from a distance. In short, they wouldn’t fight here. They are at a clear disadvantage. Which probably isn’t a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Reworking the 2024 Hiding rules

    I’m not sure how clear it is. Lots of DMs do this just to avoid the very issue you brought up.

    Nah, it just means that you can actively use your action every round as opposed to just getting the initial check. I always default to the passive check as a minimum but that’s just me. Unless they’re doing opposed rolls.

    [/td] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/SPOILER] Donnell, with The Colonel in tow, had just snuck past the gates invisibly and were on the cliffside. "Ideally, everyone will be asleep," someone had said telepathically in his mind. Donnel responded, "Yes, and then it's 'all clear' for everyone!" A third...

    For multi level buildings, I upload each level and then embed them into a rollable table. It’s designed to give you random encounters that you can drop onto the map. But I use it for buildings because, once you drop it on the map, you can toggle the image to any floor you want.

    Technically you are at disadvantage to sneak if you move faster than half your movement speed. Same with survival checks

    D&D 5E (2024) Potion miscibility, permanent effects and using potions in the future.

    Private Sanctum and Teleportation Circle can be made Permanent by casting them every day for a Year. There are other spells that are permanent - I think True Polymorph - if you concentrate on them for the duration. All these can be dispelled. Edit: They changed the wording, it seems...

    D&D 5E (2024) Reworking the 2024 Hiding rules

    Yeah, and hiding in a crowd of people is a thing too. You could be in plain sight and still sneaking up on someone. I did a big write up earlier in this thread but I guess it was too wordy for people to pay attention to. The point is Hiding is more about Target "Awareness" and a Target's...

    D&D 5E (2024) Potion miscibility, permanent effects and using potions in the future.

    Permanent is dispellable. I'm not sure how often people are targeted by dispel magic in most games but this doesn't seem like a big problem for a game or game breaking in any way. The monk will get some good use out of it for a while until an enemy decides to end it. If I play a Wizard and...

    D&D 5E (2024) Potion miscibility, permanent effects and using potions in the future.

    In game terms, Permanent is a duration. If the effect were instantaneous, it would change their strength and couldn't be dispelled. Instead, the duration has gone from 1 hour to permanent and can, therefore, be dispelled. So, I'd say the mixing table still applies. Since they have a mixing...

    I did ours up on roll20. Once I knew where it was and what kind of terrain, I gave people the opportunity to create their own buildings and stuff so I could upload it in roll20 although, in the end, I did most of it myself. You can make multiple people DM so it allows people to add stuff. We...
