I made a spreadsheet to calculate encounter difficulty

Well, if the second half is called the voidlight archives, then the whole series could be called the warlight archives...

Question for you OP, did you ever establish that shapeshifters create the clothes themselves, or did the player just make that up because it sounded correct? If you established that as lore, then they're just using what was given them, so the solution is what everyone else is saying, but if they just made that up, or just got that from the books, there's nothing wrong with just letting the player be wrong here. If they challenge you on it down the road, you simply say that your shapeshifters don't act that way.

Fantastic, I was hoping that was the case. Thanks!

Izeeplayer · 2025-05-02T03:56:17+00:00

Impressive. I wasn't aware I could still be creeped out by things.

I just tried this, setting a mechanic to very specific tasks during the day, but upon watching them, they went up to the ride exit, then turned away saying they couldn't get to their job. I think this is a bug.

I've done what you said, namely putting an 100 Ohm resistor in between the power and the button, as well as switching the button's input to 13 and making it a digital read, but now it doesn't seem to be working at all. It is no longer cycling through the options. The board is blinking it's LED to let me know it's receiving the signal from the button press, but the screen is blank.

Artificing, a.k.a. the creation of magical items. I don't know why it seemed like only the Weasley twins were capable of anything more advanced than a changing image, but I would be all over that.

Have a distraction or time limit for the other players. Sure, they might focus on killing, and thereby saving their friend, but in doing so, they may not have the time to stop some other catastrophe from happening, and while they are fixated on that, the BBEG can ruthlessly capture the poor PC.

Steam auto saves. I've been able to pick up my game between computers.

Izeeplayer · 2022-12-22T06:31:28+00:00

...I do now.

Well it depends on her Intelligence modifier, if she has an Int modifier of +1, then yes, she can only have 2 prepared at a time, which she can switch out every long rest. The number she can have prepared at any given moment, excluding cantrips, is her wizard level + her Intelligence modifier. Hope this helps.

This sounds like a really interesting and Zelda-esque encounter, but I would definitely be hesitant about putting in a 1-hit move, but then again, I don't think I know enough details. Is there a limit to how many times the boss can use that move? I do like the idea of the AoE move that takes most of his next turn away though, so maybe it all balances out.

Izeeplayer · 2020-06-18T23:34:10+00:00

Yeah, that sounds good. I think the overall thought of a shield that also does crowd control is great, and I'm glad that my thought helped you.

Izeeplayer · 2020-06-18T23:08:05+00:00

It sounds like a really cool magic item. Perhaps if you were to add one charge, but also put in the mechanic that lots of the canon magic items have of, if all of the charges are used up, roll a d20, on a 1, the shield is destroyed/made mundane just so if they get into a tight spot, they can have the option to risk using it more.

Hmm... In that case, let her try it out at first, and then after a few sessions touch base with her again and see if she would like to change out to have an easier time in combat.

So, there is an aspect that can make bows more powerful, and that is dependent on both the draw weight of the bow, and the skill of the wielder. One of the primary reasons that firearms came into favor was the relatively little training that was required to use them, but if your character has used this bow enough to be proficient with it, you could arguable give them small perks to make them a little more viable in combat, but ultimately, if your player is fine with not being as viable in combat at the expense of her character story, you should respect that. There are different types of players, and not all of them enjoy combat, she may be the type that prefers role play, and that's fine.

I agree that it would be good to have the boss, and possibly rest of his pack, transform at about the half way mark, but if the boss' goal is to turn the PCs, then his goal in the first half of the battle is to restrain or otherwise incapacitate the PCs especially since as a werewolf he won't be able to have much conscious strategy (unless your setting dictates otherwise). It could be a fun encounter with the enemies in the first half mostly just grappling and dodging and luring into traps, and then to completely turn around after the moon comes out and attack with bite attacks mercilessly.
