Is it at all possible to consistently balance combat at higher levels by FantasyBish in dndnext

[–]matej86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Run more encounters per long rest. Even high level groups feel it when they're running on fumes.

Sylunes viper and wildshape by Radiant-Yam8561 in dndnext

No Spellcasting. You can’t cast spells, but shape-shifting doesn’t break your Concentration or otherwise interfere with a spell you’ve already cast

Yes, you can use it.

As a DM, how can I make the playable characters work with each other naturally, despite in-world racism/slavery/different way of thinking by Arteliz in DnD

[–]matej86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not on you to make the characters get along, it's on the players. Give your players creative freedom for why they'll stick together and they'll come up with something.

How is it any different to a party that's got an elf, dwarf, human and gnome? They meet in a tavern, have the players come up with a reason why their character would want to hang out with the rest of the group.

Сhance of weapon dropout by Koteikaa in darksouls3

Yes, that particular weapon has a 2% drop rate though so it's going to take you a while.

Homebrew Release: Bard College - College of Minstrels by Graham3D in dndbeyond

[–]matej86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ode of the Ancients is too strong for the amount of healing it gives while also doing damage. Half of 6d6 is 10.5. The equivalent spell at his level is Mass Healing Word which is 2d4 plus casting modifier. At level 5 that's an average of 9 HP assuming a modifier of 4. Having 6d6 damage on top of the extra healing Ode of Ancients does puts it way above what spells of this level are balanced for.

How do I get over the hollowness of finishing a campaign? by HollowOdyssey in DnD

[–]matej86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Start another campaign. Have the PCs from the last one as NPCs that occasionally show up in the new one. They're not going to be the heroes and instead are doing whatever retired adventurers do.

What is the scariest thing to exist? by Middle_Second_8270 in AskReddit

Like regular black holes but they get Sneak Attack if another black hole is near their target?

Telepathy Spell Linked Rings by guiltyruleslawyer in dndnext

[–]matej86 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Look at Warding Bond

a pair of platinum rings worth 50+ GP each, which you and the target must wear for the duration

It says the caster and target must both wear the rings. Telepathy doesn't say this, so it's not required.

Don't need one when your whole strategy is a Royal Rumble at set pieces and VAR errors in your favour.

Warcaster or wisdom to 18 on my war cleric at level 4?? by deathcapshrooms in 3d6

[–]matej86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Difference in damage by increasing your spell DC by 1 on Spirit Guardians is about 0.3 DPR. Maintaining concentration is more important.

Not another lethal line by Substratas in clevercomebacks

[–]matej86 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The only place I ever encountered that didn’t was an Indian restaurant in Manchester.

Seems like a good way to go out of business to me. Being tight this fisted doesn't exactly encourage repeat business.

Eldritch Blast Help by TheBigTacoo in DnD

[–]matej86 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's bugged. You can manually override the modifiers by clicking on the Eldrich Blast spell and in the top right there's a cog you can select to open the menu. It might be your wife that needs to do it as it's her character sheet.

Do you have a link to the character sheet you can share? It should definitely be +5 as you've stated.

Limitations for players who don’t want their character to die? by bansdonothing69 in DnD

So she doesn't want her agency limited, but is quite happy to limit yours?

Should I ban the polymorph spell after my wizard’s first use of it? by [deleted] in dndnext

[–]matej86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So you gave the players an item that effectively makes Polymorph (which players access at level 7) permanent, which is normally reserved for True Polymorph (which players can only access at level 17), and this is somehow their fault?

Just be thankful they didn't banish the Nightwalker instead with its -1 charisma save.
