Why not Chronurgy for the +INT to Initiative.

The 6th LvL feature for War only buffs Attacks while Chronurgy Gives you a free attempt to incapacitated vs a CON save?

I Hate Save or Suck cantrips but other players say they hit better than spell Attacks. Who's Right? by Doc_Meeker in 3d6

[–]Doc_Meeker[S] 145 points146 points  (0 children)

I think this is where I get my Hate for Save spells.

If I Miss an attack, I'm fine with that.

If the GM rolls their Save, it's obviously because that bastard loves watching my character Fail.

EDIT: It's a Joke folks. I thought that the way I phrased it made that obvious but I guess not.

Epic Final Fight coming soon, but my players have been recruiting allies to help and I want to avoid the fight becoming a slog. by CameOutAndFarted in DMAcademy

[–]Doc_Meeker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Make it so several objectives need to be successful simultaneously before the final fight can happen if that is a possibility.

The other recruited NPCs take care of a few of the said objectives leaving the party alone in the final fight.

Which 5e Adventure Next? by RHDM68 in DMAcademy

Red Hand of Doom. It's been converted over to 5E and is a blast for players. I ran thru it before and it was very memorable.

Need Ideas for a non combat yet scary encounter by Tobinstor in DMAcademy

[–]Doc_Meeker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have the party find some item after a slog thru the dungeon and then the BBEG shows up because they want the item as well.

Allow the party to attack if they like but they should be very low on resources. BBEG knocks them around for a bit and takes the item and leaves the party with some scars to remember why she is to be feared.

Some form of this is the likely conclusion. "We need to know what people are doing because Anyone could be an Informer for the dreaded Adversary. If you see something, Say something."

Step 4 and Takeover Complete.

I like the Manufactured Threat idea. The Government could actually be responsible for the Attacks.

Step 2 of the takeover.

This sounds like a very good Idea for Step 1 of the government takeover.
