Right. Based on other NPC style examples my 5th level Carter examples would have way more hit points than a PC would and would have a minor magic item or precast a spell on themself to give them vulnerability to nevermind so the damage taken is doubled which is then doubled again as healing to...

What do you mean? The spell says you take necrotic damage. Necrotic resistance or vulnerability directly determines how much damage you take in this situation and the spell clearly says the spell heals twice the damage the spell inflicts on the caster.

Agreed, it would certainly not be a regular occurrence as it would punish the Bard as much as it punishes the Barbarian. It is not even an attempt to get at someone specifically. It is more of an intent to show that life even pretend roleplay life is not one-dimensional so if you create...

Make it a "cinematic" killing blow. Basically when Strahd finally "dies" and down he is laying there coughing up blood and cursing them all for daring to challenge them. At this point whomever wants to can drive their weapon through the heart of Strahd and actually kill him thus claiming Barovia...

I will start this by saying I am not a fan of min-max players. You can play that way but you will not be happy in my game. So here is my question. You have the annoying min-max melee character of some sort, imagine some sort of barbarian build that deals insane damage. He dump stated all his...

Agreed, you have a party of non-serious murder hobos. That suggests a very episodic campaign style where very little carries over from one episode to another. Put them deep behind enemy lines in a setting where two large kingdoms are at war and everyone they come across is perfectly happy to...

You know there is nothing in the archery fighting style that requires it to be a bow. It says +2 attack bonus to ranged attack. So have a high strength character that specializes in javelins.

Is it accurate to assume that if you are resistant to nercrotic damage then from a healing prospective this spell is half as effective as it would normally be and if you are vulnerable to necrotic damage it would be twice as effective? Was thinking of using it in a situation where a big boss...

The dice determine it in the end. At best you give the occasional advantage or disadvantage if the player really says something memorable either good or bad but these should be exceptions not the rule. Don't like to used it to much as an example but Critical Role is a good example here. No...

Agree completely, wish they would go away from it but they wont. We wont get any straight hardcover source books on it but we will continue to get hardcover mega modules that act as mini source books.

How much does KS really matter? I would love to see what the numbers on it are. How many KS actually get released out of all that are funded, of those released how many have any releases beyond what was mentioned in the initial KS, and finally how many still exist 1 year after release, can you...

Nope, this is per Green Ronin's original press release. "Green Ronin will run a crowdfunding campaign for The Expanse RPG next year and publish the game in August, 2018. " https://greenronin.com/blog/2017/08/17/press-release-green-ronin-to-publish-the-expanse-rpg/ Hence my confusion over...

I know nothing about this setting, based purely on the picture I want to ask, is this a "magic-punk" setting?

The game is going to be released at Gen Con right? That is literally next week. So the product has to be done. It has to be printed or in the process of being printed and shipped to Gen Con and game shops. Why a kickstarter? Green Ronin obviously did not need the money to pay for developing the...

Interesting, though it just looks like a recycled Yuan-ti picture to me.

Default tech level is no FTL, a ship can travel to the outer planets in a few months, gravity is all thrust or spin based, and the only alien in the first 3 books are all derivatives of an ancient alien device sent to the solar system a few billion years ago and recently released called the...

I always pronounced it similar to pronouncing brulee from creme brulee. Or I just yell "land shark" like a SNL skit.

It is dead, Arnold chopped his its head off years ago and have not seen another one since.

So no one around here is planning on getting the books or playing the game. That does not bode well for me getting a campaign going at my local hobby shop.
