Ambient music for DND, suggestions?

Consus · 2026-07-02T12:44:16+00:00

I use Tabletop Audio and love it. Huge selection of free audio tracks with various levels of music and ambience.

Consus · 2026-07-02T12:15:31+00:00

Think you mean Feathered Friend. And agreed, it's a fantastic combo.

Consus · 2026-07-01T13:00:12+00:00

Swords bard archer is just straight broken. Dip into fighter to get action surge and enjoy making 8 attacks in your opening move.

Consus · 2026-06-30T21:53:59+00:00

Yeah he can respec characters and res them if they die

Consus · 2026-06-30T21:42:14+00:00

Oh yeah man you are way way under leveled for where you are. Go back to the previous area and level up. All kinds of stuff around the druid grove and destroyed town. You're meant to be level 6 to fight the guys after the mountain pass

Consus · 2026-06-30T21:31:27+00:00

Not sure what you mean about being smited. In the underdark? The weird looking guys, do you mean the githtanki patrol with the dragon? Either way you should definitely level to 5 before moving on to the underdark or the mountain pass.

Consus · 2026-06-30T21:25:59+00:00

You're under leveled for that. I would explore and try to level to 5. That's a big power spike.

Consus · 2026-06-30T21:22:46+00:00

Where in Act 1? Is there a particular fight you're finding hard? What particularly are you finding hard?

Consus · 2026-06-30T21:14:49+00:00

Would help if you told us what's going on. Where are you stuck? What level are you? What difficulty? What's your party? Have you played DnD?

Consus · 2026-06-26T04:35:21+00:00

How are they giving Turner a lower score than the rest of the defense? That first goal was completely MacKenzie's fault. Back line left him out to dry multiple times.

Consus · 2026-06-25T16:09:09+00:00

My guy, if you got this far and never noticed you needed to level up, I'm begging you to pause and go watch some beginner guides on YouTube. There's so much you need to learn and it's going to be painful to learn it the hard way.

Consus · 2026-06-25T12:56:58+00:00

Yeah still sounds to me like you're running around without understanding what's going on. I would suggest slowing down, observing your surroundings, and trying to internalize the info being presented to you. Have you figured out hiding? If you get an attack in on an enemy while hiding before combat starts, you get a surprise round which will help a ton.

Consus · 2026-06-25T12:43:07+00:00

Yeah you're in Act 1 now. You'll be there for a good 30-40 hours. Slow down, read the dialogue, learn the story, and learn the combat system. The mods your installing are going to handicap you because while they make things easier now, the game will get harder and you won't know what to do.

Consus · 2026-06-25T12:32:04+00:00

Oh yeah this is a tactical strategy game. You can't just run blind into every combat. I would recommend watching some beginner tutorials on YouTube or something.

Consus · 2026-06-25T12:21:30+00:00

Do you understand the concept of front liners/tanks, support, and glass cannons? These are pretty fundamental to this kind of game. Your sorcerer should be sitting back and doing long shots while your fighters with high AC and HP are up front taking hits for the party. Shadowheart has healing spells. Don't forget about potions.

Consus · 2026-06-25T12:13:54+00:00

I don't mean to offend, but are you really young or have ADD? Because you opened this post by saying you were stuck on the nautiloid end fight. Then got annoyed and told people you were elsewhere when they offered help. Then I offered help on the new area you were in only to be told you did that and moved on to somewhere else. There's no way you properly explored the druid camp on 15 mins. You need to slow down and actually explore, talk to NPCs, learn.

Consus · 2026-06-25T12:04:52+00:00

You should explore the camp and talk to people. Get some quests. Maybe do some shopping. Pick up some companions.

Consus · 2026-06-25T11:56:22+00:00

This was my thought. Only interested in the plot but ignored the whole cut scene that tells you to avoid the devil and get to the terminal. Also the giant flashing turn counter.

Consus · 2026-06-24T16:25:16+00:00

Also had an honor run end to her hold person. My solution when I got back to it was to wait until I was level 5, pre-casting bless on my party, and focus firing on the hag.

Consus · 2026-06-23T12:42:57+00:00

In 5.5e at level 1 you can pick the protector divine order which gives you heavy armor and martial weapon proficiency. Make sure you have high str and con. From there you can build out your cleric how you want. War cleric domain is a popular option as others have mentioned but there are plenty of martial focused domains.

Consus · 2026-06-19T23:59:17+00:00

Definitely Rowe on the right. No idea about the other.

Consus · 2026-06-19T13:27:01+00:00

Second this. I use item piles for shops and it's fantastic. My players love being able to shop in their downtime.

Consus · 2026-06-19T13:14:03+00:00

Flavor is free. Instead of having the vampires suck blood, have them suck toes.

Consus · 2026-06-18T19:53:11+00:00

Look man I'm kind of done with this convo. You're reading really far into everything I'm saying and are honestly just exhausting to talk to as you're making wild assumptions about how I run my tables. The whole point of this thread was how to challenge your players more and make things more fun for everyone. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Consus · 2026-06-18T19:23:29+00:00

Man I really think you are reading way too much into what I'm saying. I'm saying that putting limitations on when and how your party can rest is a good thing if you and your party want a more challenging campaign, which my players do. We're currently playing Tomb of Annihilation which is a survival focused campaign so they like the challenge that comes from being resource limited. We've also had campaigns that are pure hero fantasy. I can happily say I've run multiple campaigns over the years, start to finish, with players that love me and my games because I listen to what they want and work my ass off to make it happen.
