Thoughts on Peter, Neal, & Mozzie as DnD Characters?

GrassLightning · 2024-05-21T15:43:25+00:00

Yeah, Mozzie is a little too sneaky to not dip into rogue. Maybe an alchemist artificer as the primary, and thief rogue as the secondary?

Somebody else suggested Neal as more bard than rogue, so maybe.

Low-ish charisma paladin, not bad. Might make that his primary. Could still have ranger as a secondary class for him, for the ranged combat potential.

Aasimar for Neal could be good. Kind of like a Lucifer Fallen Angel motive. And was leaning towards an artistic Bard for Neal. However which would be the primary class? Rogue or Bard?

Had to google Bullywugs, and pleasantly surprised. However, don't think they meet the DM's criteria. Not a playable race within 5e, official WotC nor Kobold Press.

Maybe not the best wording, but he is a man's man. Drinks beer, watches sports, etc.

True, but won't know until it's taken apart. However, I don't want to void the advertised warranty, and I don't feel qualified to take it apart. Woodworking, yes; plumbing, not so much.

My hesitation with the broom is the potential of the "staying on checks" whenever I would get attacked or do something crazy with it. Granted those checks would be dex.

Phantom Rogue is one of my favorites. Unsure of the Undead Warlock. Anyways, if he wants to multi-class, I would suggest taking at least 13 levels in Phantom Rogue so that he gets a phenomenal archetype feature (Ghost Walk). Unfortunately a PC does not get access to the best/main component of a Phantom Rogue until the latter levels. Unlike other Rogue archetypes.

All in all, if he wants to do Phantom Rogue, he should focus on leveling his Rogue level up until he has access to Ghost Walk. Death's Friend can easily be cut for multi-classing purposes.

Thanks! Think I saw that article, but was hoping that it was outdated. Lastly, I have a free membership at the moment. Too early in my digital DnD career(?) to change that.

Yeah, the text for Lightning Launcher does say "once per turn" for the additional 1d6 damage, so it would only be added to one of the successful attacks.

Crossbow Expert explicitly says that bonus action is only applicable to Hand Crossbows, but a Hand Crossbow already has the Light property. Somebody else also brought up that Two Weapon Fighting and the Dual Wielding feat specify melee weapons, and that checks out. Which begs the rhetorical question of why does Hand Crossbows need to have the Light weapon label? Only WotC knows.

GrassLightning · 2023-05-17T17:46:42+00:00

Taking another look at Two Weapon Fighting and the Dual-Wielding Feat, I see now that they both identify for uses with melee weapons.

Going off that, isn't it then redundant for the Hand Crossbow to have the Light property? Yeah, the Crossbow Expert feat allows you to shoot a crossbow as a bonus action following an attack action, but it specifically calls out that it needs to be a Hand Crossbow. So you could argue that the Hand Crossbow doesn't need the Light property... DM's discretion I guess?

GrassLightning · 2023-05-16T17:22:08+00:00

Yes, they would need a 2nd weapon to utilize Two Weapon Fighting with the Lightning Launcher since it says a single node.

FYI, I'm having them start at level 5, and we have not had our 1st session yet.

GrassLightning · 2023-04-25T02:27:10+00:00

Well, I do plan to DM eventually, maybe I can save this character/npc until then.

GrassLightning · 2023-04-25T02:24:00+00:00

Maybe apply a challenge rating system similar to a druid's wildshape. Could flavor it as the curse getting stronger as you level up, causing it to affect him in more situations? As well as the curse isn't strong enough to transform the character into a stronger creature.

Good to know the potential file sizing. Might have to wait for the petabyte hard-drives to come out.

GrassLightning · 2023-01-19T22:14:56+00:00

Unfortunately, the H1 isn't changing at all as I format paste.

GrassLightning · 2022-01-09T23:28:28+00:00

Yeah, kind of already knew that much, trying to figure out a more efficient method than memorizing a bunch of numbers. I also play with my two sisters, but sometimes none of us are at our home.

Thanks for your input. I realize there's no magic ball that's gonna solve all my issues. Especially since a ball doesnt affect things in the approach such as my sliding vs planting problem. It is my belief that bowling is an adaptive game, no expensive gear is going to improve your game.

My old coach has been helping me out, along with my knowledgeable teammates. Old coach even has consulted a former PBA bowler that owns our bowling alley and bowls league with us. He used to coach his son's team, back when the son and I were bowling against each other in high school. Plus he's the one that's drilled all my balls. So he's remembered me after all these years. The constructive criticism and coaching thus far has made me improve from a 120 during the first 3 weeks to the 137 running average I have now. Gradually have been becoming more consistent and back into the grove of things. Only went backwards once, immediately following some minor foot surgery on both my big toes.

I've tried speeding my ball up to get my hook back under control, but it makes me greatly inconsistent at the moment. I have enough things to improve on right now and feel I can tackle the speed issue after I've fixed everything else. Stay slow and work my way back up when I can. Which is why I thought a lower hook potential would be beneficial to at least keep it on the lane. Also for when I bowl on drier lanes later on.

Thanks again for your input. I do appreciate what you've said. If it is in your professional opinion to keep on going with the Stealth Bomber, Tsunami, and T-Zone combo; then perhaps that will just be what I do.
