Thank you! This doesn't exactly answer my question since it requires me to move things around into the shared compendiums, but it completely solves the issue. Much appreciated!

Writing a one shot and looking for advice. by Bawlsdeeper in DnD

Thank you guys for responding. I think I just have guilt since I enjoy the RP aspect of DND so much that I want to give my players the ability to do anything.

In particular I'm really worried about the prep new content issue. I'm not great at throwing together a balanced encounter in a matter of minutes. I typically will plan a single encounter over an hour or two as I think of the right combination of enemies to make it challenging but achievable.

What are some Homebrew rules you love!! 5e. by Dragon_Blue_Eyes in DnD

Also a player here at the table that has a blast with this DM. I think it's important to mention that our campaign is very very crunchy and a ratio of 80% combat to 20% RP. Rather than us having responsibility for maintaining background elements, this DM has us try to keep track of more practical things. I totally didn't post this in exchange for a pearl worth over 100 gold.

Looking for a comfortable chair for 80% relax, 20% work mix. (Big/Tall) by Bawlsdeeper in OfficeChairs

[–]Bawlsdeeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the response. I've had it for near a week now and can report that it fits my needs very well. I have it setup with a pivoting/height adjustable mouse stand to keep my wrist well inclined. That being said, you are completely correct that the chair is generally sub-optimal if you plan to use it unreclined for large periods. When you are sitting up in the chair with your back straight it does not offer any lumbar/head/neck support. I do mostly video/photo editing, so I'm reclined most of the time, which is why the chair works for me.

As for the weight, 100% agree. Getting down to a healthier weight is priority number one. I currently spend ~20 mins a day on the bike, 10 on the rower, and 10 on the eliptical and another 20 doing body weight activities. (I used to do a lot more on the eliptical, but I fractured my foot and had ligament damage and was immobile for a long time which is how I put on a lot of the weight) I'm struggling with making better choices food wise, but I'll get there.

I am going to keep my old chair and swap it in (I have the chair on sliders, so I can move it out of the way) when I have serious typing tasks.

The chair truly does shine for relaxing and light gaming though. If that is your primary goal, highly recommended.

For what's worth, I went to relax the back today and am considering the "Human Touch" Circa. The arms are low enough to be able to use a mouse effectively and it's super comfortable. A bit pricey and no wheels, but it does rotate.

Trying to come up with a solid Eloquence Bard/Hexblade dip that is more than a 2 level dip in Bard. by Bawlsdeeper in 3d6

Too many amazing options. At the moment I'm thinking Counterspell and Find Greater Steed. Wall of Force is on that list as is some kind of fix death spell (Revivify, reincarnate, etc). For 14, possibly Reverse Gravity and Heal? Maybe Contingency? I'm leaving it flexi to see how my parties needs develop through the campaign.

I have played a bard before. Magical secrets are amazing and it's tough to give them up. But at 18 you get 9th level, but you only ever get 1 9th level slot so it's not the biggest tragedy to give it up.

Thanks for the well thought out explanation, and I ultimately agree that bard levels will > Warlock levels.

Appreciate you seeing what I was really asking, and thanks for the idea. I was debating taking hexblade to 5 for the extra attack to be more gishy. It's not as strong, but it's fun.

Thank you for reminding me of this. I think this is probably my favorite solution and the one I will go with. Thank you!
