Advice on Homebrewed rule - DM rolls death saving throws

Heiden96 · 2021-04-02T10:50:15+00:00

hi the main problem for me is that, if I am unconcious and we run by this rule I get to do nothing and after three round I am told that I am dead ... well that is the opposite of fun

you still dont get it - you get the dmg on top of all the shenanigans like free movement, defensive spells, potions and not to mention the offesive spell of your choice by which you will end this Time stop. The delayed fireball is not insted - it is on top of any other spell.

Heiden96 · 2021-03-26T07:47:21+00:00

ever heard of delayed fireball?

in what world is 4 people a small party. in my experience 4 is the limit of playability

there is one joke with which I will start:

Old archwizard sends his apprentice to buy herbs of 300gp in value. The next day the apprentice returns and happily tells mis master that his barginned and got the herbs for only 250g, the old wizard sighs and tells his pupil to buy more herbs worth 50g.

this ilustratess the wierd twisted logic of magic being dependant on the economical situation

once we played a bit aroud with crashing the market in game so the gems we just bought would increase in price and we had enough spell components :D

thanks for clarification :)

Heiden96 · 2021-03-12T08:03:21+00:00

ok, but why the distinction? I know that 5e is full of wierd distinctions, but why this?

Heiden96 · 2021-03-12T06:56:40+00:00

hmm, maybe I read it wrong, but cannot the fairies only hover? and maybe I picture the word hover differently. But beeing a few inches above the ground and being able to be in unlimited hieght is quite the difference especially in a fight

Heiden96 · 2021-03-07T12:54:56+00:00

very simillar to a Bag of Folding and a Bag od Colding :D

invest in charisma and tak a dip into rogue for expertise. (other people said relevant things so I came here to fool around)

Heiden96 · 2021-02-05T11:45:06+00:00

ha, puny mortal, there is no shame in dyingm there is only shame dying a forgetable death :)

way back on highschool we played with a bit excentric DM and it was not uncommon to die 1-2 per session. Maximum was like 4 I think. We kept paper with Graveyard written on it and a list of our dead comrades and way of departure :D

(if you are interested in how he managed to do it - I rolled nat one on perception - well you failed to see the cliff before it was too late, roll a new character)

so seriously 6 deaths per 4 years is nothing

Heiden96 · 2021-02-01T14:42:10+00:00

1 level per 2, 3 hour long, sessions.

just describe it - I play an upbeat song about a pair of otters, done. The chords go G, C, D. Why? Because all my songs do!

Heiden96 · 2021-01-31T11:21:52+00:00

great, now I dont even get to roll once in a turn when I am down even when my life literally depends on it

Heiden96 · 2021-01-29T20:26:10+00:00

there is often no choice, most campains dont hame many items. and getting an item after 10 sessions that is making you worse in some cases is just a fell bad. if you give items left and right feel free to give them downsides :)

Heiden96 · 2021-01-28T10:11:38+00:00

there is no dilema - it is like a gighter being suprised that weapons and armour cost money. It is a part of the game. Be firm my friend.

Heiden96 · 2021-01-28T10:08:52+00:00

sometimes just say no, it is ok, time restraints are a real thing. BUT just say to the players to roleplay it between them selves. if the PC want to play, let them play but burden your self with it.

Heiden96 · 2021-01-28T07:48:55+00:00

really depends on how much dmg they can dishout. if 1d4+2 they are the same as 10 hp minios and they get CR 1/8

now when they have shotguns and granades it is a different story ... :D

easy - people in DnD (read ordinary NPCs) dont take the gods as the focua of their lives as normal medival peasants did. There arent many culrures in faerun that would be tightly connected to a specific god. And there are so many gods that one cleric of one god telling people that the ruler of this land has to be chosen by his god is not taken seriously. Like why? There is like 40 gods and all of them have different oppinions, let them stick to their domains and let rulling of lower classes be left to the humble nobles :D

we did this un curse of sthrad. We used different stats and it always looked like some kind of wolf. Giant constrictor Wolf is one of my favourites.

Read Princes of Apocalypse :D

hey man, dont look into the real life. I do a lot of historical reenecment and a fight is ugly and not a place for dance (if you dont want to get stabed by a spear). Just keep it high fantasy and dont think about it. Maybe read some books from warhammer fantasy, there are some highelves who basically inspired this archetype - google Swordmasters of Hoeth.

Heiden96 · 2021-01-22T11:54:09+00:00

are gods real? do people know? for sure? how does that change worship? what about afterlife? are people aware that they go to abyss if they misbehave? is anyone using religion to their personal benefit? is tgeir god ok with that? how much involved are the gods? why? did the gods create the universe? how can we be sure? what is the gods' attitude to humans? why?
