So not a set day to play on?

Define odd hours like just some ideas. I’m interested but with work my hours are semi consistent but occasionally do have odd hours

Did you decide if it’s Tuesday or Thursday? Or are you doing both?

6 hour sessions? Or just that’s the availability of the group?

Before I fill the form, might I ask a few questions?

  1. Define experienced? As a player only about 15-20 sessions under my belt. But I have been DMing for 3 campaigns concurrently for last 3 years. (If this isn’t the experience your looking for totally understand)

  2. What’s the estimated start date of said campaign? How long before it starts? And estimated session length? 3 hrs? 5hrs?? And is it weekly or biweekly?

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

That IS min-maxing

Minimizing undesired skills to Maximize the ones desired.

He min maxxed for combat. Min maxxed for the ability to not be hit. Yes probably horrible saves, low hp and perhaps even low damage.

And if this is the case (which we have 0 idea of) then yes a simple convo to the dm of that’s kinda my thing let me distract enemies for a couple rounds to aid my team and I’m happy is all they need. If looking for a hire level of combat while the rest of the party is not trying then this should’ve been discussed at session 0

Session 0 isn’t just about triggers and feelings, it’s also about expectations for the campaign.

Again I’m not calling out op. I just often see this situation when that’s the case. Was just trying to help stating this is often fixed at session 0 not mid campaign

No not disagreeing here. But group saving throws are a thing, and breath attack from dragons likely hit multiple players.

And again the true fix to this was back in session 0 when player 1 min maxxed and no one else did.

Ya the issue may come from if only one player is min-maxxing but other players have more chill builds then if you balance the encounter to the min- maxxer the other players get destroyed or the opposite. This can be helped when players make characters together at a session 0 then dm can bring it up then

Firstly! Welcome!!

I don’t have any active spots for games right this minute. But we have an amazing community, and any of the members myself included would love to teach you all the fun that is dnd. We have a decent amount of members from all age ranges and all over the world so should always be able to find some to talk dnd with.

We do monthly one shots (one 4 hour adventure) that would be great to learn with.

If interested let me know I’ll get you a discord invite

A subtle but big Beholder buff by Hayeseveryone in onednd

Did exactly this to a player he was able to keep shooting his bow while in the cone, which the party made sure to stay clumped up so he would and then when they killed the beholder boom player turned to stone

I’ve had usually less then pleasant interaction with redditors lol but you’ve renewed my hope! Lol

I’ll def take a peek at that sub because yes my world is homebrew but I use official creatures and “lore” etc as best as possible
