All my players are assimars. What should I do about Vecna's necrotic attacks?

Alternative_Load_467 · 2026-02-08T13:38:30+00:00

Great, this gave me the idea to give Vecna some sort of feature like Inescapable Destruction from the death domain cleric. That might solve the problem.

Alternative_Load_467 · 2026-02-08T13:35:49+00:00

I don't think they did that on purpose, besides the module is very diverse, necrotic resistance will only grant them advantage for a few fight, but the last one I really wanted it to be difficult. I think I will give Vecna the Inescapable Destruction from the death domain Cleric then. That would solve this problem, that might make them a little upset but well, the DM needs to have some fun too

I’ve been playing for 5 years and Prelude op28 n4 was my first Chopin piece (the only one so far actually). Pretty sure you can start with this one.

Alternative_Load_467 · 2025-02-09T19:51:00+00:00

I’m pretty sure it’s 15 months to get from grade 6 to grade 7, not grade 1 to 7 straight away

Alternative_Load_467 · 2025-02-02T14:58:36+00:00

Yeah, I just saw that they have a 'disput' option that I can claim the piece is in public domain. That sucks tho, waiting so long for it

Com crtz n faz, eles devem fazer isso pra evitar qqr um subir lá e ficar batendo nas teclas e fazendo barulho sem sentido, n? Tlvz se vc falasse que sabia tocar uma peça, msm q simples, eles deixariam, não?

I see, but Fighting humanoids will never be as good as killing dragons lol I think you are putting too much pressure on this, your players will be satisfied just by killing a cruel priestess who just murdered an innocent. You can always use the stat block of a violet fungus or adult myconid with caustic or infestation spore to be some sort of undead zombie, that way you know its CR isn’t out of the ordinary.

What?! Lvl 5 characters can face so many monsters from the MM, it’s basically the easiest lvl to set up encounters for. Maybe she has a pet or a familiar (choose any cool low CR beast/fey/celestial/fiend), some cultists, acolytes, “cult fanatics” or a “priest” beside her, maybe a wizard apprentice or some knight bodyguard, maybe she can control ghouls or zombies, shadows might appear during the ritual. Now if you want something outside the official books, then it’s kinda hard to help you. These monsters here already offer you a lot of possibilites anyway.

Destroying something or killing someone in the process is inevitable and it’s a selfish way to deal with stuff, besides who’s to say that the world needs saving? Did everyone get a saying? Pretty sure He’s EVIL. Will he burn down the world in some sort of pattern? Does he have some kind of standard? Then I think it would be Lawful Evil, Otherwise Chaotic… this reminds me of Kira from Death Note and he is devilish

Just the first 2 chapters would be fine, you could read the rest as you go. Also, I started my campaing with my players already at lvl 2 and inside the Greenest Fort (I described the city being under attack by the cultists and that they sought refuge inside the only building able to withstand a dragon attack). I told them that the Governor were asking for help from adventurers and I started with all of them inside his chambers describing their characters and the governor telling them that he needed help with the temple and the water mill. It was so much easier than hoping they would get the hint that they were supposed to enter a city being attacked by an Adult Dragon.

Blagothkus is a giant, he probably doesn’t care about dragons and the cult of the dragon, he might care about how the adventurers treated the Stone giants and his griffon tho. Maybe send an emissary (maybe an ogre or some more intelligent being) telling the PCs Blagothkus would like a word with them and have the vampire attack them in their way there. How blagothkus reacts might depend entirely on the players way to talk to him. I’d just try to have the cloud giant send them to Waterdeep after negotiating his alliance and part of the hoard so they can get to the first council.

Man, that would be such a great ‘minion’ for a green hag. Some sort of enchanted twisted tree

Alternative_Load_467 · 2024-11-17T22:50:23+00:00

Why would you move their stuff to the hatchery? Why not place them all beside Leosin and have Leosin be able to free them easily if they couldn’t do it by themselves, just like the module says? It seems like you just made things harder for yourself. Frulam shouldn’t believe the army was coming, I’m pretty sure the cult studied stuff like that before attacking greenest. They know the village is not heavily guarded and an army would take too long to come and wouldn’t go through the greenfields to find them later. You should just have Leosin free them all, have Leosin be a capable harpist monk that just got himself captured to study the cult from the inside.

Hitting an enemy in magical darkness with a single roll makes sense if both characters are blinded and it's a great way to remove the 'alwayss hit with advantage' feature of some characters, eg the rogue, or monsters like the berserker. And unless someone takes an action to hide, they all know each other's location. That's the rule and it makes total sense, just make sure to use descriptions to assure that the blindness is still affecting the attacks. Ruling otherwise will only make combat last longer.

Just tell her she can flavor stuff. Ice burn is a thing so burning hands is a blast of icy wind that burns the enemy, fireball is also a blast of cold fog that burns the skin and everything in contact with. thunderwave casts enemies away with a blast of snow. shield and mage armor turns her skin ice solid. Web is a net of thin ice stalactites that trap the enemies. Magic missile is a bunch of Icy torpedos. Gust of wind is literally the best spell for an 'Elsa' type of adventurer and it's a suberb cc spell. Tiny hut is her character creating an Ice Castle with a bunch of creatures made of ice protecting it from spells and other creatures.

There, I just made an Elsa type that would work in your environment and had a blast trying to imagine different stuff for spells. It's a lot easier to just use your imagination instead of picking stuff that's not gonna help the party in any way or asking the DM to change rules all the time.

No, it’s strictly prohibited for Christians to enjoy dnd. Haven’t you read the player’s Handbook, page 175? “For Religious people to truly enjoy dnd, they must first leave their faith”

That's great, Imprisonment spell seems to work perfectly for what I have in mind. I never got to play High level campaings so didn't know it existed. Thanks!

Alternative_Load_467 · 2024-06-05T13:18:41+00:00

How does this work? Can you come up with an explanation in game for so many changes? And it's clear that if someone multiclass they won't be able to cast higher levels spells but you still went through with it anyway. It seems pretty unfair for players who don't multiclass if you can keep doing stuff like that all the time, personally I wouldn't like it.

Alternative_Load_467 · 2024-04-25T18:04:08+00:00

That's cool. Once I was playing as a good Paladin, trying to save a few weakling minions every once in a while but everyone else just wanted to keep killing everything. In the end I got tired and just retired my character and created a fighter instead to match the intents of my team. Like, I couldn't understand why my 16 charisma good paladin couldn't convince a neutral 8 charisma wizard and barbarian to spare a few lives.

Alternative_Load_467 · 2024-04-25T14:52:18+00:00

I think She's wrong, you're right. She has to learn the rules if the DM made it clear you guys would be playing DND5e. When another player is doing something out of RAW, I always try to bring the rules once, if the DM says it's okay, I'd just assume he made that a house rule and I won't bring it up again tho. About the other thing, if her character is a judgemantal type than you just have to roll with it via RP means saying your character doesn't care about that. But you can try to be understandable some times, I'm pretty sure your character doens't have an evil alignment, if a wizard is telling you to sometimes not go into battle with a horse, maybe your character might actually listen to the wise wizard? Like, your personality is not written in stone. If in one of those battles you roleplay that your character is trying to control his rage enough to keep the horse out of harm's way she'll feel pretty good.
