    D&D 5E (2014) Climbing a tower rules 5e

    You don’t roll for difficult things. You roll for consequential things. What are the stakes of this climb?

    D&D 5E (2014) Climbing a tower rules 5e

    Basically, if you don’t add a complication or reason for the check the character simply fails because.... they suck? Unsatisfying. Failing because the archers in the walls are complicating things and plummeting towards my teammates when my hand slips? Oh yeah. I’m down.

    Pathfinder 2E How fast are your combats in online play?

    Yeah... that’s a typo. But, using Roll20... 5 players..., I’d say a 4 round combat takes... from initiative to end of fight something like 20-25ish? Things that seem to help: One thing that keeps it moving is I make my moves quick. The NPCs don’t dither, they act. Thing 2: my players are...

    D&D 5E (2014) Climbing a tower rules 5e

    And failing the roll maybe isn’t falling but getting discovered at the top! “Oh no! The Athletic one has been ambushed!”

    D&D 5E (2014) Climbing a tower rules 5e

    Ok! So what I would do here is... maybe... not roll much at all. Maybe the first person(the athletic one), needs to make a climb check to get up high enough and plant the hook. Then I’d just let the rest of the group climb up and move on. Unless there are guards they need to avoid or some...

    D&D General why do we have halflings and gnomes?

    Mostly for the meat. If you keep them relatively immobile the beef is just so mwah. ——Why haffies and Gnomies by the great Orc chef Toothrottah
