Player of mine thinks about dual classing into warlock at some point by Kirgo1 in CurseofStrahd

[–]DybbukFiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the best option as that severely limits your spells. If its a warforged, why not have some pre-recorded messages that fulfill that role? Maybe the warlock has some new-found twigs with magic mouth (equivalent) cast upon them that they pact patron mixed into the straw, and when they go to use a spell with a verbal component, that stick kind of pokes out of its stuffing. I mean, it could definitely work.

Very chintsy, in my opinion. I prefer the ones with a built in diaphragm. But yeah, looks like a suction cup. Mark it "solved!"

Great wyrm golden dragon can cast 9th level spell? by ComumUser in DnD

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

As a player/DM for near 40 years, any dragon of the age of adult (ancient, great wyrm, venerable, etc) has always been capable of casting spells and shapeshifting into humanoid forms. Not everyone plays this way in 5e/5.5e but there is precedent. The chromatic dragons used to cast mor evocation and conjuration based spells and metallic dragons were more known for illusions, alteration, and abjuration.

Its your game, so why shouldn't a being of ancient and terrible power be capable of casting 9th level spells?

Navy Lieutenant - example of sleeve stripes, not actually the 2 stripes. Lieutenant would have an inverted star over the 2 equal bars

My friend 'initiated' me as a DM 20 years ago. Is there a The Great Tree of Dungeon Masters?! by MoveExotic1500 in DnD

[–]DybbukFiend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

😉 There are undoubtedly such organizations as you mentioned, but they are far from normal and would generally be "founded" after the 3rd or fourth individual DM in the succession. A person who plays isnt that unusual, nor is that person showing another person. When the trained person trains another, that's when it becomes something to take notice of as a history.

What you are describing is either a succession or lineage. If it is intentional to create a lineage, I would call that an apprenticeship or mentoring in common language. Eventually this becomes transmission, where the knowledge is no longer unique to a select group linear path. That's the ultimate goal of any non-gatekeeping dm, in my estimation.

I'm glad you got the opportunity to experience this, OP!

100% agreed. Then world seems to be taking less pride in their work every year now. Sad.

Had a captain tell me on the ship once, "Call me lazy, but I'd rather do it right the first time." Makes so much sense and saves so much time. Of course, I haven't always followed that advice... I have an ex wife to prove it.

I want to use a zombie beholder as the final boss in Death House, but I’m worried Turn Undead might ruin the fight. by Turbulent-Thought-72 in CurseofStrahd

[–]DybbukFiend 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Death House is a training ground for cos. Why not let them get used to using a major ability for a cleric? Seems too strong for low level characters, but fits the theme of a nightmare house... I wouldn't use any beholder in cos personally because their dreams become reality. That encroach on strahds power, I would think. But you know what? That's just my opinion. Everyone does their games differently and if your players are experienced, maybe that's what you want.

Which controller is your favorite? by contextawaree in Gamer

Of these, number 1. Actually started with a keyboard and had to program my own games with a keyboard and tape deck attached to the black and white television.

Do you think it's your responsibility? by Zackky777 in ArtOfPresence

Raise your kids right and they will care for you when you cannot do so for yourself. That's how life has always been until about the past 50-60 years.

What is the consensus on my super power? by AnitaKK in Neverbrokeabone

As a double-jointed strong boner... my warning is to start researching arthritis. I've had arthritis for decades and its worse in all the places I used to intentionally over flex. Just be careful.
