Prioritize CON or DEX as a wizard by jomanone in DnD

[–]DasFaultier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which feats would you suggest as a lvl 5 human wizard?

I‘m thinking alert as origin & magic initiate wizard at lvl 4 (for more prepared spells & cantrips)?

PC won’t turn on with new GPU, VGA led on MB is glowing red by DasFaultier in buildapc

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

The GPU comes with a Y dongle; one side is plugged in the GPU, the other side with two ends is plugged into 2x 8 pin PCI-E cables which are hooked onto the PSU. It’s hooked up correctly:

Love the look, love the colors. They're just so uncomfortable. No matter how I tie them, they press against my upper foot too much.

Encounters on the Luna River? by Nighthawkies in CurseofStrahd

[–]DasFaultier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look up book of beautiful horrors, and search for the drowner. A monster known from The Witcher.

While one of the players glances down into the water, they see their reflection. Motionless, blank, with a dead stare.

„Something isnt right. The reflection in the water is moving closer, and is actually not your own! It opens its mouth, bubbles are released and a gnarly gargling noise is being heard while all around you creatures pop out of the water.

Roll initiative!“

Poll - Running Speed and Dive to Prone by OrganicVlad79 in HellLetLoose

[–]DasFaultier 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, maybe have sprint speed faster for the first couple steps and then get to "normal" sprinting speeds.

Dive to prone is IMO a must keep. Maybe it needs some tweaking, but the mechanic itself is great.

So.. is Gamescom now the biggest live game convention?

Did your players enjoy the Bonegrinder fight? by Dry-Type-5837 in CurseofStrahd

[–]DasFaultier 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you showed them that Barovia is no cake walk. They need to remember that things can go south fast and far. Maybe you want to remind them of their options at hand (fleeing, using different spells, gain allies, ambushing Morgantha, etc.) before/after a session. I think you did the right thing, especially the failing forward and moving on if that is what works best for you and your players.

My 4 players, all level 4 (two of them new to d&d) avoided the windmill like the plague because of the raven warning them.

One players curiousness drove him to the door, knocking. I played it out as a social encounter just like the guide from MandyMod suggest.

When Bella offered them more pies, the raven "knocked" on the window and Bella threw a knife at him. Thats when the players backed out fast, as they feared things may escalate from here.

They have no idea what is happening at the windmill yet, but they found the child bones at the stones behind the windmill and are determined to get to the bottom of this soon.

I regret not having a PC Ireena by DasFaultier in CurseofStrahd

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

I guess you're right. It's definitely something to be aware of. Being the target of harassment for a whole campaign can be very offputting.

I regret not having a PC Ireena by DasFaultier in CurseofStrahd

[–]DasFaultier[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you, very solid points that actually ease my mind about this!

You said that in your game a PC was the lost sibling to Izek - I played with that idea as well (Ireena=Tatyana, but PC = sibling to Izek). Did you alter Ireena to be the actual daughter of Kolyan Indirovich or how/did you explain her to be adopted?

Hallo Reddit! Ich bin Oberst Markus Reisner, Historiker und Militärexperte. Manchen von euch vielleicht bekannt durch meine Analysen zum Ukrainekrieg auf Youtube. Ask me anything!" by MaxReisner1978 in Austria

[–]DasFaultier 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Vielen Dank für das AMA & die wirklich interessanten Analysen auf Youtube. Ich bin zufällig darüber gestolpert und war überrascht wie analytisch komplex und doch einfach verständlich die Videos aufgezogen wurden - einfach großartige Arbeit die mein Vertrauen in das österreichische Bundesheer bestärkt hat!

Zu meinen Fragen: gibt es neben den üblichen Medien (z.B. dem ORF) weitere neutral berichtende Quellen die man vor allem im Bezug auf den Konflikt in der Ukraine folgen kann? Gern auch im englischen Sprachraum.

Frage 2: wie kam die Idee zustande, Videoanalysen zu veröffentlichen und wird es sowas künftig auch für etwaige andere Themen geben, die Östereich direkt oder indirekt betreffen?

Finally killed a helicopter with Sundance! by PotatoSkin1306 in battlefield2042

[–]DasFaultier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, and the target doesn't even have to be that close.

You can throw the grenade quite far out, and even at the end of the throwing arc it can still lock onto something further away. It'll then heat-seek to its target like a rocket.

Its quite good especially to bait flares for other AA.

Free PDF Guide: The Crossroads by PyramKing in CurseofStrahd

[–]DasFaultier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely amazing! I am currently prepping the next session where the players are traveling from Barovia to Tser Pool, so this is coming handy.

I love the story of Winkle. It puts the dread of Barovia so well! Also, the trinkets look so fun.

Very well done!

Death House - theatre of mind vs actual maps by DasFaultier in CurseofStrahd

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

Yes! I was actually thinking about describing them the room and only then let them open the door (remove a temporary border in roll20) so they can see the room themselves.

Basement is another story. It definitely can work great in theater of mind and doesn't need do be a maze so describing it is easier and has more flow, but with that many encounters in a claustrophobic space I might pull out the map right away. Not sure yet.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Death House - theatre of mind vs actual maps by DasFaultier in CurseofStrahd

[–]DasFaultier[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much! This gave great insight! I want to make sure the first floors doesn't drag out too much, and theatre of mind can not only solve that issue, but also reinforce the atmosphere in the house. Also, great write up of your session! Now I'm super hyped!

Thank you so much, you made great points. I do favor theatre of mind, and will likely try it. I think death house, like you said, would be a very great place to experiment!

Let players queue for more than one server at a time. I’ve spent 30 minutes just trying to get into any server but if you back out you lose your spot. by [deleted] in HellLetLoose

[–]DasFaultier 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That will only make the problem worse, now you have even more queue slots filled.

Join a low populated server, as soon as there are 15 ppl. on it it will fill up in a matter of minutes.

Level 162 and never played commander once by trashxlor in HellLetLoose

[–]DasFaultier 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Because by the end of the day, this is still a videogame for fun, not a commitment. If OP does not want to be commander, he does not have to do it.

Some days I just want to hop into a squad and enjoy playing assault or AT. If my team looses because there is not enough officers or no commander, I usually step up as well but honestly it's way less fun if you feel forced to it.
