We played last night. They found all the notes on Jolliver's desk, so they're getting the picture that there is some heavy :):):):) going down in the Sumber Hills. I've dropped the idea of the key in four parts and gates to block access to the temples - I think they've got the idea that some...

We played last night and they continued their trek around Rivergard Keep. I ruled that Pass Without Trace has worn off and they alerted the Reavers in their barracks above the Great Hall. A fairly simple fight - the Reavers made a lot of noise to alert the rest of the keep and one of them got a...

What about a gift of an amulet or necklace or similar that grants advantage on one attack, save or skill check each day. Similar to an Inspiration point..? Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using EN World mobile app

Take a class of Barbarian so that you can be a 'raging bear'...? Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using EN World mobile app

OK, thanks. That's good to know. So, I could retcon some spellboks in... Although, the party seem to be powerful enough at the moment, I don't think they need too much encouragement!!

The rogue/wizard was at +15 on his Stealth rolls... This barracks is in Rivergard Keep in PotA. They signed up with Jolliver and were assigned bunks. They also brought in a small keg of beer to share with their new guard companions, and to get them to sleep more deeply... Sent from my ONEPLUS...

They took out the guards on watch first. But my question is more aimed at the general situation of attacking a sleeping monster/guard.

Oh and another comment. One of the players keeps muttering about how none of the enemy casters *ever* has a spellbook. I've assumed that because the text doesn't mention a spellbook then there isn't one present. Is that correct? Or do I need to retcon in the fact that the Necromancer at Lance...

So, last night the party had inveigled their way into Rivergard Keep barracks and bedded down for the night. An hour or so later, once everyone (bar the two on watch) were asleep, the party monk cast Pass Without Trace on the whole party (+10 on Sneak rolls) and they proceeded to slaughter the...

We tried something similar in LMoP, to disguise one of the party as a hobgoblin, bringing prisoners into Cragmaw Castle. We also used it to create the image of a goblin to lure others in through a door. We pushed it a bit too far and this then led is into a discussion about the power of the...

Played another session last night. They were sailing upstream in Rivermaid (Quanderil's boat). The plan was to arrive at dusk and bluff their way in as Quanderil and crew, saying they had some new recruits. Infiltrate and then search for the delegates who they think are held prisoner here and/or...

Wow, I didn't think this discussion would still be going on....

I guess it's a case of trying to get into the habit of doing it. Shouldn't just be for flaws though. For sticking to ideals, or roleplaying an awesome conversation. Or doing something cool in combat*. Basically anything you as DM want to reward. *In the Necromancer tomb, the Druid used Thorn...

I awarded Inspiration to one PC last session for killing Quanderil. And having thought about it, I'm also awarding it to the monk for creating a zone of silence around Quanderil and then also for catching the crossbow bolt and throwing it back. I won't award it for doing those two things again...

My motivation for adding extra items was that as a playing group we felt we didn't get many items from LMoP. (We missed the Wand of MM that is there. :( ) I also quite like the idea of low level items that give a bit of benefit but aren't super-powered. I was thinking of some Cantrip items to...

Sorry, I wasn't so clear in my description. I meant it can cast Entangle 1/day and Spike Growth 1/day. Thanks for the reminder they are Concentration spells. And I will rule that whatever he uses in combat is gone for that day.

I like that Staff of Spike Growth and Entangle. I am inclined to give it 1 charge per spell per day. Now, if Elizar uses it in battle, that is the charge used for the day, right? It's not based on the user...?

Ahh, yeah OK. My party are all down at 3rd level at the moment. We haven't reached the heady heights of totem bears yet... :) I can see good and bad in daily recharging items. Something that does it's thing once per day is one thing. Having 10 charges per day might seem a bit too powerful...

Staff of Spike Growth and Entangle sounds good - I will check it out. Is it in DMG, or did you make it up? And I would certainly get him to use it against them. :) I like the idea of a Ring of MAXIMUM DAMAGE!!!!11OMG I thought Barbarian Rage only gave resistance to bludge/pierce/slash damage?

Yeah, nice ideas. I went with the Ring of Ki because there is a monk in the party. I thought 1 extra point per day was a nice little buff without unbalancing anything.
