Session 6: 2/27/2021 We jumped right into the remainder of the dragon battle. After the artificer went, I had Bahadural give his little speech and then cast Wall of Thorns. Hit two characters, both saved, 23 damage. The party did some moderate damage that round, but not a lot (ok, maybe 70...

Sorry, I forgot I was posting this here as well! Here comes an avalanche of posts. As of posting this (2/28/23) we are within 5 sessions of the end, unless the party dawdles. I'm getting close to finished with the editing process to put this on the DM's Guild. Session 4: 1/23/21 Arcane...

I'd call that a success, unless you invested a lot of prep time into the dungeon. I bet the players all felt good about using their abilities cleverly to solve the problem efficiently. Except maybe for the martials. I'd probably have had a complication like "the earthquake spawns some unhappy...

In terms of killing meaningful enemies, I have yet to witness casters dominate over even a 5-round battle. For clearing out chaff, sure, you've got a couple of high-level AOEs like Meteor Storm. You deal 100 damage to the BBEG, if he doesn't just have somebody Counterspell you. Then you're down...

What do you find most problematic at high levels? -Damage output -Party hit points -Divination/info gathering -Teleportation/Mobility -Something Else?

It can, but it requires more prep and forethought. Wards against teleportation and scrying, Guards and Wards, other reasons to not just leave the dungeon at will. Recent-ish dungeons my high level party have done include: -An old silver mine, now deliberately baited with small amounts of...

I like the narration idea. My current party (session 30-something, a bit over 2 years RL, we've had some turnover) is a fighter, a warlock, a monk, and a paladin, so 50/50 short rest/long rest classes. They're fine. A warlock has, what, 8-9 leveled spells he can cast? That's fewer than the...

One thing that helps high level play be fun is to not be stingy with magical items. A level 20 samurai has almost the same capabilities as a level 7 samurai, except he hits things more often, slightly harder, and is tougher to kill. Magic items make a huge difference for martials. The just-hit...
