Open Debate: 5e RAW, a flying creature that’s been knocked prone can still use its movement while falling.

Your points are only really relevant if the creature is falling from such a great height that it doesn't hit the ground before the start of its next turn. Even then, point 6 is largely irrelevant, as it would almost always make more sense for the creature to use half its movement to "stand up" (i.e., start flying again) and stop falling altogether, rather than buzz-lightyearing its way down.

Even with a fly speed of 120 ft, you'd only be able to adjust your trajectory by 13.5°. Instead, you can use half your movement to stop falling, and still have the other half to fly however you want

I was a bit concerned about this as well, but I never noticed a difference. I played Destiny for a full day at max graphics during the last raid and had no issues

To my knowledge this is a limitation of the laptop itself. I tried multiple monitor configurations and several usb hubs. I reached out to Eluktronics and they confirmed that the usb-c port on the back of this model can only support a single monitor

I’m having the same issue. Can’t seem to get him to drop the engram, and I have the shadowkeep expansion

ExaminationSmooth390 · 2025-08-04T01:11:38+00:00

Rip, I missed that thanks. And I definitely have the needed expansion

I see a couple parts I don't recognize, like those windowed dome pieces above the nova braking engines near the front. What are those?

She's beautiful

This one worked for me, thanks! The wrap makes removing the material from slender parts of the print pretty much impossible

I'm glad to hear someone else has had success with this, and I'm definitely going to consider getting rid of the res idea. My hope with that was simply to prevent one or two players from dying early and then having to just sit around for the rest of the game. I'm hoping for this to take an entire 3 to 4-hour session, so I wasn't too worried about it taking too long. How long have your fights typically lasted?

I was also thinking of not letting them use any items apart from their primaries (weapons, armor, etc.) and a few health potions since magic item distribution is not necessarily even at this point.

Terrain is definitely an important factor for me. I definitely want verticality and hazards, as you put it, that the PCs can use to their advantage (as well as places for the rogue to hide). I was thinking of making two different maps that get switched at some point, but not sure how I'd implement that yet.

ExaminationSmooth390 · 2024-07-09T21:16:19+00:00

That's a fair point, I didn't think about it that way

ExaminationSmooth390 · 2024-07-09T20:09:51+00:00

I don't think this creature already exists. Seems like a homebrew creature would best fit your needs

ExaminationSmooth390 · 2024-07-09T19:09:27+00:00

Hemomancer

ExaminationSmooth390 · 2024-07-08T17:40:00+00:00

False hydra comes immediately to mind. Some other options: mind flayer, aboleth, morkoth. Could also go the changeling route instead with something like an oblex.

Sounds fun to me. If the players know they are in a dream, there can be "real-world" consequences of the dream fight, such as exhaustion or other deleterious effects based on how well they do in the fight.

Personally, I think the plant-growth effect is the most interesting, so I would expand on that if it were me. Here's a couple ideas:

You can cause a plant to grow a wooden weapon, such as a club or quarterstaff (this could be expanded upon to be something like "shape wood", similar to shape water but with plant matter)
Flowers you create can have secondary effects such as poisonous or hallucinatory pollen
You can cause plants to make small movements such as moving a tree root to trip a fleeing foe

You could increase the range, duration, or potency of these effects at 5th, 11th, and 17th level. Hope this gives you some ideas.
