    D&D General Fixing the Offense Tunnel Vision problem

    I never got that far, but from what you and others described it is a fight where mooks are niuisance that just heal the boss AND can be easily trivialized with I Win Button spells and focusing fire on the boss.

    D&D General Fixing the Offense Tunnel Vision problem

    Then it really isn't a boss battle anymore, it's just a group encounter where the boss is not the main threat, just one of many. Your solution to disappointing boss battles is to remove the boss.

    D&D General Fixing the Offense Tunnel Vision problem

    The thing is, that no matter what mooks do, the boss is either going to do more damage, having more negative impact, or the mooks will likely run away or disperse or disintegrate with boss' fall, so it is obiectively superior strategy to take out the boss first.

    D&D General New Feywild themed D&D Romantasy tie-in announced

    Yeah, I'm rather bitter about the label myself, especially after hearing how it and "cozy fantasy" have been used as drawers to put all women who write fantasy into, leading to harassment from the terminally online against women who include "uncomfortable" subjects like incest or suicide...in a...

    D&D General Fixing the Offense Tunnel Vision problem

    From my experience pretty much nothing you listed will work. Any debuff to the player character just works the same way as damage resistance or giving boss more hit points - makes the fight into a slog. In my experience PCs will literally ignore mooks fireballing them to beeline it to the boss...

    D&D General You Were Rolling Up a New Character, and Just Rolled a 3. What Is Your Reaction?

    Raistlin Majere-clone time it is! Seriously tho, a lot of games I played in where I got to roll had a houserule of "after you finish, sum up all roll results and divide by 6, if the result is below 8, reroll everything", so I don't think I could keep that 3 unless I had something big to...

    D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes

    I want to point out that I merely commented that I disagree with broad complaint that a power creep is not good game design, since power creep was what the Monk class needed and even after being power crept it merely closed the gap between it and Fighter, Rogue and Barbarian. I was going to...

    Let's Talk About Our Year In TTRPGs

    Yes, but the players are enjoying it. I admit I'm not yet 100% good with rules so we play a bit fast and loose here and there, but so far the game has been very fun.

    Let's Talk About Our Year In TTRPGs

    I put my D&D 5e campaign on a pause and begun running Mage: the Ascension. Meanwhile my campaign in Blades of the Dark is coming to close, we likely won't have final session in this year, but likely in January. My third game sadly fizzled out due to happenning in person and conflicting...

    Opinions on and potential substitutes for Anima: Beyond Fantasy

    Saw a video about setting lore of Anima: beyond Fantasy and gotta say, it looks pretty interesting. I want to know how well does the game play and how crunchy it actually is. I would like some info on how crunchy or complex it is and whenever it steers closer something like Pathfinder, Warhammer...

    I'm laughing that AI really put two pendants on her neck. On top of all the uncanny valley and lack of soul, ai keeps making mistakes that no human would.

    D&D General AI Art for D&D: Experiments

    Are you asking this with geiue concern or are you asking this because being critical of bad art (and I don't really consider AI art to be art to begin with) is not ok with so-called AI "artists"?
