D&D 5E [IC] Uller's Out of the Abyss

[Uller]

OOC: You are raging, +2 to melee damage.

Maybe? Technically rage is to str based attacks I think. Guessing it was +3 to the dagger for finesse/dex and +2 to goblet for str based rage. I'm on the road to my daughter's playoff hockey tournament. I'll look it all over this evening or tomorrow morning.

 

[SunGold]

OOC: Yep but only on str attacks (hence the +2 on the goblet damage). I used my dex mod to attack with the dagger since I have +0 to str.

OOC: Bingo. No rage damage for dex attacks.

OOC: Dangit! We the totally unoptimized party! You got Dex-based Barbarian AND Paladin! What have gotten ourselves into?!?

 

[Uller]

I'm in favor of unoptimized parties. The published adventures are easy mode for optimized parties and I usually feel pressured to make them tougher. This is good.

OOC: Dangit! We the totally unoptimized party! You got Dex-based Barbarian AND Paladin! What have gotten ourselves into?!?

OOC: Hey now...let's not say things we can't take back. Surana is built to eat damage, not deal it. Look at this fight. Unless the D&D stat blocks go way off lycanthrope mythology, they're not gonna be hitting us with magic or psychic damage or whatever. Everything they hit us with should be halved while I'm raging (and starting next level, all damage but psychic will be halved while I rage, period). I have 26 hp...so they'll have to sink 52 damage into me to knock me over. In other words, they'd have to kill 3 of you to kill one of me. Like I said...I'm here to get punched in the face so you don't.

 

[DMAesh]

OOC: I know, but we are still unoptimized. Ha ha, hey, I did it too, so no worries! Just wait until your Dex and Con go even higher! You will be beastly! And good call on the Bear totem, my friend is playing a Bear barbarian. And before I forget, thank you for tanking.

 

[DMAesh]

OOC: By the way. If you click on my name, then right-click my homepage to open in a new tab, it will open the Rogue's Gallery I made on Google Sheets.

 

[SunGold]

OOC: Haha, yeah, but I like our ragtag group. And hey no prob...thanks for being the moral compass of the party. I think Surana would've tried to off Sarith and Buppido by now if you weren't around, hehe. (And let's be real...all that would've done is get me killed.)

 

[DMAesh]

OOC: I like our group too. Yeah, I'll try to stay the course, but some rules are meant to be bent...
