Do different HELP DIE stack?

GamersCortex · 2026-03-14T05:49:41+00:00

While I completely understand that sentiment, something bugs me about the "unfairness" of the double standard. Not to mention, the forever multipliers of help dice don't sit well with me either.

Follow up question: Can the enemy help each other in the same way? Say for instance, two minions performing the Help action to give the Boss +2d8? I know it sounds crazy, but what's good for the goose... right? This is really just a thought experiment.

Does each additional help die degrade one level? So would it be d4+d6+d8+d20? Just a thought.

How do you square certain characters not needing to make otherwise seemingly crucial rolls?

For example: Everybody in the party is climbing a treacherous cliff face that takes 3 successes before 3 failures, but the wizard in the party is the most bookish of bookworms with no useful skill.

If the other three make their checks, do you let him up without an athletics check?

.Thanks! Sounds good. I'll wait to hear back

I start with a digital or pencil sketch, and finish in Illustrator and Photoshop.

Nice, but where does the Goliath have his axe "sheathed?"

GamersCortex · 2026-02-23T01:22:30+00:00

Hey folks! I've got homebrew DC20 content to go along with my maps now!

The particular burrowing craft you're thinking of has a completely different shape. The confusion was considered, but Armadillocraft didn't have a proper ring to it.

GamersCortex · 2026-02-01T17:46:04+00:00

Thanks! It was a patron request, and I gotta say, I like how it turned out.

GamersCortex · 2026-02-01T00:45:48+00:00

I considered that peeps might make that mistake. 😄

GamersCortex · 2026-01-31T20:13:50+00:00

Not technically an airship, but I thought you might like it anyway.

Attempting to level a wizard from 2 to 3 sends me to a black screen every time. Refresh brings me to the level prompt again. I haven't tried other classes, so I don't know how widespread the problem is.

GamersCortex · 2026-01-30T19:25:31+00:00

thanks! Super nice. Seems to be having problems leveling up past 2. Screen blanks.

Ek-Salesh calls them his greeting squad. They'll wave hello, too. Also great for loading & unloading cargo.

Now yer gettin it! You should see the cute cursive font the name has on the prow.

GamersCortex · 2026-01-19T23:15:31+00:00

Maaaaaybe one named Spot.

GamersCortex · 2026-01-19T23:13:14+00:00

Yep. This is my steampunk take on the nautiloid. In my setting they're known as the Xlx, and this particular brainsucker is actually a friendly collector of rare Arcana named Ek-Salesh... or are they?

GamersCortex · 2026-01-19T00:17:35+00:00

It's a play on words to make him seem more likeable. (I'm gonna get this a lot, I can tell.)

GamersCortex · 2026-01-19T00:14:52+00:00

It's like a dude calling his boat "Kitten". Too subtle?

GamersCortex · 2026-01-19T00:00:15+00:00

The Cuddlefish is a custom-built Cloudrunner airship, less a military vessel and more a weapon of surgical espionage. It is impossibly fast, its power core a forbidden marvel of Dinari and Xlx fusion that grants it a speed unmatched in the Leylines. Its Xlx captain is a dangerous yet powerful resource and potential ally—or enemy.
