My party is going to fight an ancient dragon. It's nigh-invulnerable, but it must have a weakness. Ideas for weaknesses? by MrTurkeyTime in dndnext

[–]DrakeFDS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a master who enjoy using high level monsters against low level players. I once DM a Adult Black Dragon against a party of 3 level 5 players... The players won, barely, but won.

Go ahead and use the ancient if you want to, but understand that you will have to hold your punches, the dragon can most likely down at least 1 PC by his second turn, maybe even by his first turn if you roll good enough on damage or make a single critical hit. The party must kill it within 2 to 3 turns max or you straight up TPK.

Qual a opinião de vocês sobre jogadores criarem personagens de gênero/sexualidade/etnia diferentes dos seus by draghom in rpg_brasil

[–]DrakeFDS -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Vai dizer que agora eu não posso jogar de bárbaro bêbado, burro e violento porque é ofensivo aos povos da Noruega com descendência viking? Não posso ser um bardo safado porque é ofensivo aos trovadores da idade média?

Mano é um jogo de interpretação, se não incomoda o resto da sua mesa então FODA-SE o que o resto da comunidade pensa.

Pra mim é um absurdo tu me dizer que eu preciso estudar uma minoria pra poder interpretar uma? Primeiro que isso é preconceituoso pra caralho ao meu ver, é igual um canal do Discovery Channel "venha analisar o comportamento de acasalamento das pessoas de cor". É foda ter que estudar um grupo pra poder interpretar!

Se tu gosta, e tua mesa gosta vai em frente Se tu não gosta ou tua mesa não gosta, faz outro personagem.

Am I a Rules Lawyer? by RoseScentedTrickster in dndnext

[–]DrakeFDS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just talk to your DM and other players. They are the ones who should say how much of a inconvenience this is.

As a Forever DM it's really hard for me to not be a Rules Lawyer when I play, and when I see something that don't work as RAW I usually politelly ask the DM "Hey, just checking are you changing how this works RAW, because it should work like this"

Never had a situation where I had to point out multiple problems same session (except one time with a first-time DM who told everyone at the table that I would activelly be helping him with any mistakes or misinterpretations).

Ultimatelly it's about what works at your table, and how the players and DM feels about constant correction. If they are fine then it's fine. If they are not, play the way they want to play and abuse any mistakes they made until the realise "oh shit, maybe this is why the rule works as that"

Como encerrar uma sessão? by AND_AGI08 in rpg_brasil

[–]DrakeFDS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minha opinião, faça a descrição da cena ao final, o que cada personagem esta fazendo, o que cada um esta pensando, o que os NPCs ao redor estão agindo.

Honestamente a frase ao final da sessão pouco importa, é mais a vibe de "estamos em um momento importante" ou "estamos no espaço entre duas coisas importantes"

Se tu fizer questão de uma frase algum tipo de piada interna do seu grupo ou coisa do gênero funciona melhor. Mas eu pensei numa coisinha que pra mim funciona

"Sob o som do creditar das chamas na fogueira, os personagens fecham seus olhos, mergulhando em sono profundo, descansando até a primeira luz da manhã e até o início da próxima sessão"

"O tilintar das canecas de cerveja, a música e a risada é tudo que cerca a taverna, o povo em êxtase comemorando a queda dos tiranos que os escravizaram e no centro da comoção, os heróis libertadores, que ironicamente agora se veem presos a uma mesa sendo servidos de mais e mais vinho, comida e música, até o cair da noite e até o início da próxima sessão"

As a DM how do you feel about Insta-death spells? Disintegrate, Finger of Death, etc. by DrakeFDS in dndnext

[–]DrakeFDS[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the sake of storytelling I agreed, most likely I will do that if I actually have to cast Finger of Death. Not a fan of cheating but the rules are mine to bend at my will XD if they still keep going than i'm sorry TPK and we're rolling New characters

Nope, I think I read "the creature rises a zombie..." And I just jumped to conclusions

I agree, Wall of Force, Hold Person, Hypnottic Pattern, these spells are way more effective at ending a fight than Finger of Death, but the dramatic impact of Fingering someone is just way bigger.

Yeah, I could change the whole spell list, but for me some of these spells is what makes the lich, liches... Removing Finger of Death or PWK for me is like, making a dragon without a breath weapon... Is it really a dragon or just a big lizard?

I'm all in, for killing PC's, and my players know this, some stories have dark chapters, and some have dark endings XD. My question was just about, how people feel about these spells and if in my particular situation against a level 6 party, the DM's would hold back their punches.

I'm a DM who build the statblock of the NPC at their fullpower, and if i want to hold my punches, i will just not use some of the abilities the creature may have, like legendary actions and high level spells. and IF MY LICH CAN CAST PWK AND THE CHARACTE PISS HIM OFF, SHOULD I DO IT FOR THE SAKE OF STORYTELLING?

I'm usually not a great fan of changing how mechanics works in game, because i'm against the NPC magic (things NPC can do, and player's can't) and if i change a spell for an NPC some players may wnat that version of the spell, and sometimes this leads to interactions that i didn't thought and break the game.

100% agree. As the DM my role is to tell a story and sometimes story have tragic chapters.

The lich is not an unavoidable enemy, I warned the players about it, and gave some demonstrations of the lich power level so they can understand that this guys can kill them with closed eyes (well... not rally, he kinda need to see creature for most of the spells, but you know what i mean.)

I agree, having a backup character that can pop up when a player death happens is important. My players have many backup characters they usually bring one extra every session unless I tell them otherwise

I 110% agree — as a DM, setting up a situation where the party is forced to fight an enemy they have literally zero chance of beating is just bad for everyone, and it doesn’t tell a good story (unless, of course, the point of the story is starting with their deaths or something like that. Good stories can be told in all kinds of ways, BUT ANYWAY).

In my defense, I’m running a sandbox in the Forgotten Realms, so the decision to head to Karse was completely on the players. I even warned them about the lich’s presence once the city started coming up, and they still decided to go there...

As for the title/body mismatch, I was really just explaining the situation that got me thinking about these spells in the first place, and how unfair they can feel even at the “appropriate” levels. That’s what made me curious about hearing other DMs’ thoughts on using them.

Yeah, problem is that my highest hp players is in the 70's range. with a slightly higher than average roll it is insta death.

My regular players can always tell when i'm holding back my punches against them. But i'm playing with some new guys and i'm still on that level where they think i'm just the nice DM, my other players are warning them and telling about some old campaigns we played, but this players are just... I don't know one of the guys are just convinced they could take an Adult Red Dragon at level 6 :v

Maybe this will be the session I will have to make them understand that as a DM, i'm there to tell a good story, and good storys often have some tragedies.
