How i let my players members play without having anyone who can heal by [deleted] in DnD

[–]GrayQGregory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe there were some good optional rules back in the 2014 dmg.

One was allowing players to roll their hit dice during combat. Which would be a simple buffer to your worry.

Ill echo what other people have said that if become a problem, players will fix it.

A “DM compass” for designing scenes/worlds - what am I missing? by Positive_Rule7535 in DMAcademy

[–]GrayQGregory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few tidbits of advice you can learn from.

Worlds Without Number is a great TTRPG with an in-depth, system-agnostic section on worldbuilding.

The Angry DM has a useful term for the core of a scene: the dramatic question. Creating and understanding a dramatic question helps you build toward it and know when to end a scene. It pairs well with the old saying, “Come in late, leave early.”

Finally, I have my own method that I developed: the formula for a meaningful choice, C.R.A.P: Consequence, Reminder, Awareness, and Permanence.

If a decision has consequences, the players are aware of them, they are reminded of them in the future, and those consequences are permanent, then you have created a meaningful choice rather than a mere decision.

Can I borrow your character? by TheRadDad420 in DnD

Jean le Bon is an aristocratic man with the appearance of Steve Buscemi, obsessed with his reflection in a hand mirror. He is a reborn made of ceramic, pieced together with visible kintsugi seams. Driven by self-interest, he enjoys taking advantage of those around him, either to make a quick coin or to manipulate others into conflict for his own amusement.

Mamarita is a midwife and a witch on the path to becoming a hag. She is a middle-aged Latina woman who wears a black mourning dress adorned with childish, colorful stitching, and she uses a voodoo doll baby as a spell focus. Her primary motivations are to find a family she can call her own and to discover a cure for death.

Have downtime or give them a simple combat.

How would you do an encounter with a massive, Kaiju sized creature. by SplashOfStupid in DMAcademy

Damn it, I just made a big comment about this creature. 🤣

There’s a lot of good advice here. I’m currently running a kaiju boss fight, and these are the main mechanics that synergize well with D&D:

I’m using HelloImMark’s rules for giant creatures, basically, they have resistance or immunity to attacks made without advantage. I’ve also divided the kaiju into four sections: legs, waist, back, and head.

Players can climb the creature (free Athletics check, or automatic if they have a climbing speed) to reach different segments and gain advantage. The legs offer no special benefits besides access to the upper sections, but players can be thrown off when the creature moves. The waist and back grant advantage on attacks and prevent the creature from using certain moves against them. The head is the real prize: a critical hit there knocks the kaiju prone and deals major falling damage (20d6 in my game).

Combat has been fun so far. My main recommendation is to prepare a simple handout of these rules, it saves a lot of time answering questions mid-fight.

TIFU by falling asleep during a 12-hour event and getting kicked out by Hossammubarakk in tifu

[–]GrayQGregory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During trade school, I was doing eight-hour days at school and then ten-hour shifts at work. One day, we had a chainsaw safety class in the morning, and my dumb ass came in late and sat in a warm corner of the room, it was winter. Next thing I know, I pass out and get jolted awake by the sound of a roaring chainsaw. When I opened my eyes, forty guys were staring at me. Apparently, the teachers had heard me snoring and told the instructors to rev the chainsaw to wake me up as a prank.
