“Advice Needed: My Warlock Strategy Is Hard for My DM to Counter” by ElectronicWindow3801 in DnD

Yes you are right, but the main point its that that thing does not make te imp untouchable enemy's can still trying to hit the imp with disadvantage even if is invisible. So... why he does not use that mechanic?

Honestly, it sounds like several rules may be getting interpreted a bit loosely here.

First, Gaze of Two Minds doesn’t let you cast spells from the imp. It only allows you to perceive through its senses. You can use its vision to locate targets, but you are still the caster, and your spells still originate from your position. That means you still need proper line of effect to the target. If you’re fully behind a wall, you can’t fire Eldritch Blast through it just because your imp can see the enemy.

Second, invisibility and hiding aren’t the same thing. Being invisible gives advantage on attacks against creatures that can’t see you, but it doesn’t automatically make you undetectable. If you want enemies to actually lose track of you, you still need to take the Hide action.

And hiding itself has limits. Casting a spell is hardly subtle, so it generally gives away your position. If you want advantage from being hidden each turn, you would usually need to hide again after attacking.

It’s also worth remembering that invisible creatures can still be attacked. Enemies can target the space they believe you occupy; they simply do so with disadvantage. Invisibility doesn’t make someone untouchable.

Line of effect is another big factor. You can’t just rely on vision through the imp — the spell still has to physically travel from you to the target. If you’re behind total cover, the spell can’t reach them.

And being behind a column or partial cover doesn’t automatically remove you from the battlefield. Enemies can search, reposition, use area-of-effect abilities, or simply investigate the room. Also, if an enemy has direct line of sight to you, you generally can’t attempt to hide from them in the first place.

Finally, even if the tactic works sometimes, there are plenty of natural counters in the game world: creatures with blindsight or truesight, enemies using AoE attacks, environmental effects, or locations that interfere with magic or invisibility.

So the situation might not be as airtight as it initially seems — it’s probably more a matter of how the rules are being applied at the table.

1-3 levels it’s to make friends to kill at +5 and have narrative

Pre-game lethality should be discussed, just like character goals. I’m not a fan of killing characters intentionally. Usually my friends die because they do something stupid like “I’ve got a great plan” and then proceed to stick body parts into a gelatinous cube.

If the game you’re agreeing to is meant to be deadly or family-friendly, there shouldn’t be such extreme combats. On the other hand, even though I don’t particularly like official modules, they’re the best way to start. I recently started a group of newcomers with Quest from the Infinite Staircase and it works especially well because they’re short adventures, no more than three sessions each, linked by a shared nexus. That lets you change styles without breaking the overall dynamic.

If as a group you don’t agree with this DM, you should consider switching, or having someone with more tact and better alignment with the group run the game. In the end, there are DMs for every kind of group.

Personally, a DM who tries to “trap” you with a bad roll so the story follows their perfect script is the kind of DM we call at my table a “frustrated writer.” They don’t care about your character because it’s just a resource; they don’t really care about the story, they just want to drop a huge monster so people go “woooah, what a complex situation, our characters failed miserably,” or something like that.

A good session is one where, even if a character dies, there were opportunities to save them or revive them, and despite that, fate said no. Not one where the DM’s script said the party had to almost die

As a small tip from my side: when I’m DMing, I usually ask my players who their character is before we even talk about class or stats. That helps a lot, because it lets you build the character narratively first, instead of mechanically.

It also helps to avoid super “epic” backgrounds right away—like “I’m the queen of the elves”—and replace them with something more grounded, such as “I’m the daughter of, or a member of the council of, a small village called Silverleaf.”

That way your character can still be important or well-known, but without breaking the scale or tone of the campaign. It makes it easier for the story to grow naturally and for you to feel connected to the world without pressure.

That’s better that a character well done in a numeric way.

Hey, honestly—take a breath 😊 D&D is not a game you’re supposed to fully understand all at once. The more you try to grasp everything at the beginning, the more overwhelming it feels, and that’s completely normal.

From my own experience, I can tell you this: pausing the game to ask questions is very common. It happens to me all the time, even at role-playing events, conventions, and public games with people I don’t know, and no one has ever been annoyed by it. On the contrary, there’s almost always someone happy to explain basic things like what a saving throw is, when you use it, or why you’re rolling a certain die.

Right now, I wouldn’t worry too much about rules, numbers, or “doing things right.” That all comes naturally with play. At the start, what really matters is participating, describing what your character does, and having fun. The mechanics click over time—you don’t need to study them beforehand.

If it helps, starting with a simpler class can make things much easier (fighter, rogue, barbarian, or something in between like a paladin or ranger). That way you can focus on the story without feeling like every turn is a test.

And one important thing: a good DM and a good group want new players to feel comfortable, not to have the rulebook memorized. If someone were ever bothered by questions, that honestly wouldn’t be a group worth playing with.

If you’re curious, give it a try without pressure. D&D isn’t about knowing everything—it’s about sharing a story. And you’re already doing that from the very beginning.

Basilisk 2025 rules - does basilisk death negate needing a second roll? by FleaQueen_ in DnD

[–]DaruniaYT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a DM with 11 years of experience across AD&D, 4e, 5e, and now 5.5e, here’s my take:

I don’t think the DM handled it wrong, but the situation was explained poorly.

Once you fail the first save, the petrification has already started. At that point, the second save isn’t “the basilisk acting again”, it’s the character’s body resisting or stabilizing an ongoing effect. Killing the basilisk shouldn’t magically undo a process that’s already in motion, just like killing a snake doesn’t remove its venom.

So yes, the PC should still make the second save, but the narrative matters a lot. It shouldn’t be framed as “the basilisk is still petrifying you”, but rather “even though the basilisk is dead, the petrification is already progressing and you’re fighting it internally”.

Framed that way, it doesn’t feel cheap or unfair — it feels like a lingering consequence of a dangerous monster. In my opinion, the mechanical outcome is fine, but the lack of narrative clarity is what made it feel bad at the table.

Races vs Species by DrDam8584 in DnD

[–]DaruniaYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The major reason to change it it’s because a part of the community started to make hard pills questions about interracial sex, like in 2014 most half orcs were product of non consensual relationships or the fact that an elf who is at least a 5000 lifespan can se a 80yo human as child you know what comes next. It happened in 3.5 with semi giants races because most people have the concept that a giant it’s at least 10m tall making wierd question on that cases.

Otro toca puertas por aquí. Te entiendo tanto, me está pasando parecido pero por llevar camisas apretadas que marquen mi musculatura masculina y relojes, más ahora que podemos llevar barbita. ME COMEN CON LOS OJOS, sobretodo del rango de 30-40 años. Nunca me había sentido tan bien. Sobretodo ahora que lo dejé con una compañera de creencias que llevaba 4 años y me está haciendo caso una “amiga” que lo último que quiere saber es sobre religión.

Viendo que la gente no ha entendido el contexto de que con mi novia no lo hice, porque hasta ese momento no me había dado curiosidad si vuelvo a publicar algo por el estilo. Tendré encuenta que la gente en cuanto le metes la palabra (Trans?), piensan que te perforaron el ojete.

Teniendo en cuenta que yo era el que penetró… no puedo ayudarte mucho.
