[QUOTE="juggerulez, post: 6730908, member: 98250"] so you can FEEL my pain! I honestly think a druid can't keep up with this as a first liner, perhaps a warrior or a paladin, but certainly not a druid that relies on shapes to pull her weight... what he doesn't realize is that by placing random encounters checks hourly, there is a very good chance that an encounter pops up, even if these encounters are subpar to our party! we're all level 4, the random encounters he usually spawns swing between CR 2 and CR 4, but the smaller the CR is, the higher the number of foes is, so I often find myself being targeted by 3-12 enemies, which all roll a d20+hit and by the law of large numbers, getting nailed is not even that remote of a chance. I'm popping 70 berries while in downtime, I'm usually dry by the second short rest (which means, mind you, that there are at least 5-8 encounters ahead of us before the LR) and don't get me started about when we LR during a quest... luckly enough it happened only once but I was really afraid that time xD Btw we're not leveling that fast either, what do you mean? The druid was created the 10th of May and we're playing about 2-3 times per month, so we're level 4th after about 14 sessions, is that fast? :eek: DM said that this pace is to be expected in 5e and to "suck up" :v [/QUOTE]
