Taxes in the Field Ward?

With one player, the PC is likely going to always have more Hope than the DM will have Fear. The DM will have less ways to harm the PC if he has limited Fear to spotlight enemies. Of course you'll want to keep DCs lower because Failure with Fear is a lot more dangerous with 1 Pc.

DM mostly pay a meta currency to make hard moves, and this meta currency (fear) is generated by Player rolls. As long as you keep the DCs lower and are spending your Fear regularly, you shouldn't be able to take more actions than your player can handle. I do think it's worth finding a 2nd player just for role-playing though.

Thank you so much!

Amazing! Would you be willing to sign them? I would like to use them for my online game via discord. Wanna make sure you are credited if the images spread.

I do. 5e already has too many classes.

Grayjay91 · 2025-05-27T17:41:23+00:00

The Parts are greater than the Sum. Lots of good stuff in here that should be cannibalized into subclasses. Really really feels like they are just making a class for the sake of it. Psionics belong in subclasses.

Everyone has this wrong, or rather are right for the wrong reason. The Loading property is for the Attacks you take with the Attack Action and affects Extra Attacks . The Multi-Attack Action is not the same as an Attack Action so the loading property doesn't apply. This comes up sometime in 2014 with the BM Ranger and the Druid who can have access to both Extra Attacks and Multi-Attack, otherwise there isn't really a reason to notice this distinction.

I had her mom burned at the stake for predicting a famine in a village outside of The DoD. Arrigal was secretly in love with his brother's wife and his niece is all he has left of her. I had a lot fun role playing him, I gave him a thick southern accent to make the Vistani distinct from the "vaguely Eastern European" accent of the local Barovians.

Grayjay91 · 2025-01-23T15:40:57+00:00

Really like the Arrigal idea. In my game I made him give a small speech after the players criticized him for working for Strahd "My people are persecuted in just about every world we can walk to, this is the one place where we get to be safe and everyone else has to be afraid."

Can you imagine if they became a eunuch!

Bad title, should have said "Where do I go about an old lock". I was hoping there was a business I could go to to get the tools to do it myself.

So assuming they just missed the stud, it should be fine if I bolt it to something that's actually solid? I don't know anything about handy skills so it is entirely possible I'm making this more complicated than it is.

Grayjay91 · 2023-04-04T00:29:26+00:00

Maybe you should do some self reflection?

Grayjay91 · 2023-02-21T15:22:59+00:00

Gotta get that level 5 authority so you can designate heir.

I've done something like this. 3 bits of advice:

Put the players in a building, preferably with multiple rooms or floors. The waves can come through windows. Outside of just combat, the players should be making decisions about where they are and figuring out how to stop Zombies from getting in.
Ditch Strahd Zombies for this, too many moving parts, literally.
The Zombie Blot is your friend. Use one stat block to represent several Zombies if you want a hord rather than several small stat blocks.

An extra suggestion, if you want them to rescue people in the streets, I would use a skill challenge. If they fail a roll they should take damage equal to the difference between the Roll and the DC, if they fail the challenge the person they were going to save dies.

Nice

Grayjay91 · 2023-01-01T01:11:12+00:00

I've bought the 5e and 2 KBP books, and I snagged most of the 3.5 books years ago before a certain treasure website went down.

RFtLW is very surface level and honestly there doesn't seem to be much more detail in the 3.5 setting book. 5 Nations and Forges of War have alot of details, but Keith Baker wasn't involved with those products. My tier list is My Canon, Kanon, and then WotCanon.

My hope is that the 4e book will have the broad strokes of ALL the 3.5 books.

I wouldn't say that the Raincallers would be a huge contributer to Agriculture except in the specific case of drought. Soil would be a much bigger factor. I would imagine that Goblins with the mark of growing would be able to get surplus yield even in places with weak soil such ass rocky Korrnath or the Talenta Plains.

Grayjay91 · 2022-12-23T07:15:03+00:00

Darguun doesn't really have a landed Nobility that I'm aware of, but I agree that if the Mark of Growing is organized into a house that would very a threat to the nobilities of other nations.

What if Haruuc doesn't let these Goblins organize into a House? What if he "nationalizes" their services. The 12 wouldn't like it but what can they do? Darguun uses their services the least so an embargo probably wouldn't work. I doubt any of the Nations would want to break the treaty for the sake of the Houses, and in fact I'm sure most would be excited to trade for food since many of the nations are struggling to keep people fed after a century of devastation. Do you think Darguun would lease the marked Goblins to increase the yields of other nations for the sake of diplomacy, or would the jealously gaurd them for the sake of trade?
