    Kulan: Knightfall's Crisis in Bluffside Game [OOC]

    So, I'm a bit confused by the time dilation thing in the current battle Originally, for every minute in the pocket dimension, something like a year would pass in real time. Which is why we had to protect the knight. Now it's been changed to every 1 second is 2 seconds in the pocket dimension...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    Regardless of the damage, the minimum save is dc 10. So unless she’s proficient in con saves, she could potentially fail

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    I'm sorry for the triple post: Graze vs Mirror image. I missed. So, I assumed the graze still works and, IC, I rolled to see if it affected one of the images (which it did) so I assume one of the images goes away. BUT, My google search result implies, that because I missed, the mirror image...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    Double post: @FitzTheRuke my character sheet still has one inspiration marked. I’m not sure if it was used to force the houndsman to reroll a successful save against the hold person and, if it wasn’t used, if it was used against the wizard’s acid attack. If not, I’ll keep it on my character...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    [/td] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/SPOILER] Merrick also felt slowed but when the cave was plunged in darkness, there was nothing he could do but trip over the corpse of the Houndsman. He had no idea where the enemy was last positioned and didn’t want to accidentally attack an ally. “Just give up...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    This is why I did the synopsis. I found it odd that the group was making friends with the lizard folk chief that had been put in place by the cultists. So, you did not forget to mention it.

    D&D 5E (2024) Did Vampires just become more of a problem?

    Huge Vampiric Fire Elemental? Presumably, you have to have blood to become a vampire?

    D&D General Weapons should break left and right

    If you want to micro manage every weapon (which lots of people don’t - some people don’t even like tracking ammo), Every weapon can have a durability stat. Every time you miss or roll a 1 or whatever, durability goes down. At certain thresholds, the damage dice goes down by one. When the...

    Kulan: Knightfall's Heroes of Carnell Game [OOC]

    I have both the Carnell and the bluffside maps on roll20. Or we can go dig them up on these boards. The Pegasus is clear with the statue, I think, but The rest are not

    IRON DM 2025 Tournament Thread

    I’m not sure how I’ve been on the boards since 2003 and never heard of Iron DM. I’m having a lot of fun following along.

    What do you do with a character when a player bails forever?

    We have a place for those characters…. The Pit. More seriously, if they aren’t integral to any ongoing plots, at the first sign of civilization, the character goes their separate way.

    This sounds similar to what I posted upthread.

    D&D 5E (2024) How can I do a Charisma-Investigation (or a Strength/Dexterity-Investigation if I can't use Charisma) to find a secret door?

    It answers it in the sense that I don’t believe that is a good use/description of charisma to search for secret doors. I answered how I might tweak the fluff to make it more appropriate for charisma - even if I find that tweak a bit weak.

    D&D 5E (2024) How can I do a Charisma-Investigation (or a Strength/Dexterity-Investigation if I can't use Charisma) to find a secret door?

    if a player described looking for secret doors by intuiting how a person might hide something, I would have them roll wisdom (insight) instead of charisma investigation. Not that there’s anything wrong with interpreting that as charisma (investigation) but that interpretation doesn’t feel...

    D&D 5E (2024) How can I do a Charisma-Investigation (or a Strength/Dexterity-Investigation if I can't use Charisma) to find a secret door?

    Yeah, that’s my point. It feels more like insight (wisdom) to search than charisma

    D&D 5E (2024) House Rule: Con mod HD Recovery instead of Full

    Do you find they are burning all their HD between long rests? Were they doing that before or were they saving some? In 2024, there’s more uses for HD in combat so they get used up quicker (that healer feat, for example) Out of the options posted, I’d go with proficiency bonus. They need HD...

    D&D 5E (2024) How can I do a Charisma-Investigation (or a Strength/Dexterity-Investigation if I can't use Charisma) to find a secret door?

    This is the best answer I’ve seen but This sounds like insight to me. Which is a wisdom skill. Charisma is more force of personality. I suppose you could reframe it: if I was a person hiding something, where would I sit, rest and talk.
