(OOC) The Dog Days of Doom

So here’s a weird question,: do clerics no longer turn undead?

They still can through channel divinity. They just don’t get that until 2nd level.

ah, I see. That makes this encounter harder.

Double post:

So, I made a roll20 account. I'll be screen shotting stuff. My idea is to make a grid with grid coordinates so I can overlay it to the current map and take a screen shot and then post it. That way I can just move the grid coordinates to whatever map I'm using. Easy Peasy. Basically, do it the same way fitz does it and people can tell me where they move.

The other option is to give everyone access to their tokens on roll20 and let you move your own tokens.

Do people have a preference?

Really, it will only come into play for actual combat. I can just post images and we can use totm for anything outside of combat.

I'd prefer not to use roll20, speaking for myself -- oje site for interface is far easier for me. Lovely map!

I have the account on roll20, but I'm mostly connecting from work which has policy against it. So...map copy if possible. I'll manage if I have to, but it will be always from home (my evenings, and not every evening)

Same here, prefer we not have to log into Roll20 to update.

I use Excel and MS Paint. But I've used Excel since the late 80's and I've always loved to use it for things that it wasn't designed for. (Like character sheets, for example, though I've finally switched to Word for those).

I tried to switch to Roll20 once, but the learning curve frustrated me. I just don't have the time. Same thing with D&D Beyond's "Maps" Tool. But also, in that case, I don't want to have to do all that crap with setting up a Campaign and having all the PCs be made there. Just give me the ability to create Icons and Maps and move them around! I don't need the rest. So it remains Excel for me.

I know roll20 very well and I don't need a new image every time I want to move a character so it's very quick for me to move people around. I'll just take screen shots and post them. For now, I don't have grid coordinates. I'll do that this weekend.

What do you mean by "new image every time (you) want to move a character?" Under what circumstances would you need that?

Do your tokens move separately from your background image? I imagined you had a map and then you placed images on the map and those tokens become part of the image.

So when people move, you take the original map(that has no tokens) and re-add all the tokens again but with everyone in their new position and then that's your new image.
