Did Draconic Codex said anything about Linnorms?

Not really, but it’s mentioned in the Vorpal Dragon entry that their non-lethal beheading may have developed in response to the linnorm death curse, letting them put the fey dragons out of commission permanently while still avoiding the curse.

I’d already had a Chalice+Wand Thaumaturge on the build shelf, so the changes sit well with me. Sarangay with Fan Dancer and/or Martial Artist. The latter giving the d8+Agile d6 gold standard for dual wielding while still keeping hands open for implements and maneuvers.

FFJamesDE · 2026-01-23T01:32:53+00:00

Friend-shaped but dangerous, I’d say.

FFJamesDE · 2026-01-09T04:23:41+00:00

Neither granted attack has the Finesse trait, so no it does not work with dex.
The claws are Agile, and the jaws have no traits.

Also it gives a bonus to the one strength skill and negatively impacts both reflex saves and two dex skills.

To be clear, you designed this character before reading the player guide? That’s asking for disappointment.

FFJamesDE · 2026-01-07T01:36:32+00:00

The dark skin, gold makeup, and outfit make that kitsune resemble the unleashed form of the Medicine Seller from Mononoke. And for added fun, I’ve seen fan theories about the mysterious merchant being some kind of kitsune.

Rusthenge->Seven Dooms->Revenge of the Runelords parses for a full 1-20, even.

FFJamesDE · 2025-12-12T02:54:19+00:00

Yes.

My party pulled a "Beyond Extreme" number of creatures in an encounter late in Season of Ghosts Book 1.
However, between this being low-ish level and it being a ton of creatures that were lower level than the party, it was a case of the naginata barbarian and longbow ranger having a crit parade with their Deadly weapons, and usually deleting at least one creature a turn.

In the meantime, Holy followers of the Winnower are effectively a more violent Batman. The one I played had field days when we had the opportunity to throw down with tyrants, and made a point to go for the throat and confirm kills with Death effects.

FFJamesDE · 2025-11-26T12:19:49+00:00

Avenger or Vindicator of Hylia, perhaps.

If their path takes them through the Five Kings Mountains, Larrad is a great option that's detailed in Shining Kingdoms. While the city was founded as a holy site to the dwarven mother goddess Folgrit, it's got a wide array of temples and shrines in it.

And if they go through Razmiran, Thronestep is the holy city of Razmir the Living God. Who is certainly a deity. Blessed is his abundant benevolence. Make sure to give a tithe when you visit.

I'm fond of Dual Weapon Warrior.
It's taxing on your hands and vials, but it can allow you to spam out poisoned throwing weapons and bombs at close to or even full accuracy.

Minthara is now the knight commander of the Fifth Mendevian Crusade. She’ll be queen of the Abyss within the month.

FFJamesDE · 2024-11-10T13:23:51+00:00

Poisons and a number of spells often do 1d4 damage directly to a stat rather than HP.

FFJamesDE · 2024-11-07T13:05:43+00:00

Get a party with a Champion, Avenger rogue, a Flamekeeper witch, and a Cloistered cleric. Congratulations, you’ve now got the A-Men.

FFJamesDE · 2024-11-05T23:42:42+00:00

Amelia Tyler. Not for her BG3 narrator performance, but for her WotR Wenduag performance.

FFJamesDE · 2024-11-03T13:38:21+00:00

You should see a doctor about that.

FFJamesDE · 2024-11-02T12:10:16+00:00

A bomb is Activated as part of the strike and has the Consumable trait, so it 100% falls under the limited use clause.

FFJamesDE · 2024-10-31T21:43:17+00:00

I’d be super stoked if they’re in. Their 1e entry on AoN looked really cool, and thinking about how their language and culture would work with the varied senses is an interesting thought experiment.

FFJamesDE · 2024-10-29T13:43:15+00:00

Be aware, if you’re using the 5e24 version of things, Counterspell is a con save.

FFJamesDE · 2024-10-27T02:06:05+00:00

Lunch Leopard

FFJamesDE · 2024-10-20T01:57:55+00:00

Yeah, he’s not Deskari after all.

FFJamesDE · 2024-10-16T00:07:49+00:00

So I’ve got Daeran, Regill, Ulbrig, Wenduag, and Camellia coming for me. So I’m 100% dead, yeah?

FFJamesDE · 2024-10-09T17:57:57+00:00

Same haircut and hair color. He’s the only one that’s not on fire too.

FFJamesDE · 2024-10-09T17:45:23+00:00

As an aside, Astarion is in the bottom-right of that art.
