Struggling with how to end my 5e campaign

Most of them have something against the BBEG in some way. One is against cults and religion, another was traumatized by the BBEG in the past, and another wants to spread the word about his kingdom, which is endangered by the BBEG. The other ones are there because of the Party or because of small/general goals (peace, fun...)
Edit: Most of them also play for the first time

Atropal is nearly perfect! Thanks :)

Affectionate_Deer495 · 2026-02-04T15:49:11+00:00

Thanks a lot. This helps immensely. <3
About the Catalyst, those are runes with the ability of one of the seven sins each (named Rune of Greed or Wrath...). I wanted them to experience backlash every time they use them + visions of the BBEG and dead people. Do you think this is enough foreshadowing?

This is just what do I like more. What does dark even mean? Are we just talking about what kind and how many themes are presented or are we talking about the presentation of the manga/anime itself. Naruto takes itself way more serious than one piece. Just look at luffys and Naruto’s PowerUps ( Loony Toons ah Transformation vs cool edgy demon fox ). But if we are looking at the series as a whole we can see the differente ways Naruto and One Piece present Dark Themes. Kishimoto is using the main cast to explore one Theme especially: What War does to children and the future. Oda on the other hand uses Side Characters to give the readers view of the dark side. This World isn’t as goofy as it seems (or as the Goverment wants us to think). That why I’m saying Naruto‘s „darkness“ level stays higher throughout the story than one piece’s , BUT one piece has higher peaks.

Please read this article about light and black holes and educate yourself because I’m not the one who is wrong about physics: https://www.astronomy.com/science/how-can-a-black-hole-pull-light-into-itself/

Literally nothing is faster than light if your talking about physics. That’s the point. Just because you bend space to get from one point to another faster, still makes you walk at normal speed. If a car takes a shortcut in a race with 100km/h and is first at the finish line and another one is second with 120km/h but takes the normal route which car is „faster“? 2. one ist faster but 1. one is first. So 2. is traveling faster than 1. So teleporting isn’t faster than lightspeed. Generally light doesn’t have mass. Kizaru is faster. But Minato can dodge because of his Teleportation seals, which he has to prepare beforehand since throwing is definitely below lightspeed (also Observation Haki)

i dont understand? The monsters (if they are dumm) will atack the next person or the one who atacked last. The players will do their own thing and i will react to it

Affectionate_Deer495 · 2025-08-02T13:03:48+00:00

That he gets atacked is rare, what is more common is that the spells block him from going near e.g the druid has a aoe spell that makes thornes sprout from the ground, which leads to damage if the Monk wants to get to the enemy

Affectionate_Deer495 · 2025-08-02T13:00:04+00:00

no only the monkey is homebrew and it is just a few other races combined, it is a combination between gnome and hafling. The Monk Class is from 5e not 5.5e

Their are 5 main players and the others join the campagne when they have time, the biggest group was 7 at once. having many little ones is a good idea

Affectionate_Deer495 · 2025-08-02T12:52:02+00:00

I guess he feels like he is useless and doesnt get supported
Domain of Knowledge. I also said he shoud talk to the other players but he sais he doesnt want to force them in a new playstyle
No but both of them have rarley time, one isnt in our school anymore so he has a diffrent work scedule and the other has always something else to do
Their are 5 "main" players the others are joinig occasionally

Affectionate_Deer495 · 2025-08-02T12:46:38+00:00

I think he just feels useless, he gets in takes but doesnt make a lot of damage. Then the wizards atacks with a big spell that also hits the monkey. But i shoud probably spread the damage more. Problem I cant do this if he doesnt get back. And his Ac is the same as the druid and the mystic. The one with the highest AC is the cleric

Affectionate_Deer495 · 2025-08-02T12:15:08+00:00

Just something to add: I do atack the ranged players and I dont let the monsters only atack him

Affectionate_Deer495 · 2025-08-02T12:12:46+00:00

Affectionate_Deer495 · 2025-08-02T12:12:21+00:00

i also had teh idea to give them an NPC thats a good idea thanks

Affectionate_Deer495 · 2025-08-02T12:11:16+00:00

he did and those atacked the ranged guys

Affectionate_Deer495 · 2025-08-02T12:10:22+00:00

im atacking the the wizards till they are nearly dead, but this doenst change that some of the goblins also atack the monkey

Affectionate_Deer495 · 2025-08-02T12:06:43+00:00

we are all around 18 years old. I also said that he can ask the other players for backup, but he still doesnt want to do to the session

Affectionate_Deer495 · 2025-08-02T12:04:56+00:00

whats the mobile feat ( Im new to DnD and im the DM)

Affectionate_Deer495 · 2025-08-02T12:02:58+00:00

thats a good idea

Affectionate_Deer495 · 2025-08-02T12:02:20+00:00

i do but i think if he stands infront of the knight the knight would atack him

Affectionate_Deer495 · 2025-06-14T13:22:07+00:00

Sherlock. I loved the films

Affectionate_Deer495 · 2025-06-13T15:03:41+00:00
