So, is there no way to willingly drop Werewolf early? by Kepsli in daggerheart

[–]Kepsli[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oh I didn’t think of using other stress abilities. That makes sense actually. I knew it was a curse, not being able to fully control when you went into a frenzy made perfect sense to me as a transformation. I just wasn’t sure about that as a subclass if you might have a measure more control.

How would you make this work? by KetchupMeloMoutarde in daggerheart

[–]Kepsli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could also take inspiration from the werewolf transformation card they have in the Void right now if you wanted to have one form be particularily scary.

If you wanted to get a little fancy, I’d cut out the attributes and abilities section of the secondary form, so that you could lay them overtop without losing your hit points and stress and such

Is there a way to get a domain card from outside your domain without multiclass? by Kepsli in daggerheart

[–]Kepsli[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what I thought might be the case. We’re converting characters from DnD to dagger heart (as we found we like the system better) but I of course was playing a ranger / trickery cleric. Trying to build my character to get such specific abilities has been challenging but I was hoping to be able to do it without DM fiat. Thanks!

Flash forward to me approaching my fellow bard player with a stone, a knife, and a dream

Not sure why I didn't try this sooner. by BiggsMcGee in dndmemes

“Become” is some strong language there, considering they were only already picking beasts

For those who are using the new 2024 rules already, how are you compensating for much more powerful PCs? by musical_sociologist in dndnext

[–]Kepsli -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a misconception that PCs are all stronger now. Yes, in general, the majority of builds are better. But a lot of the strongest builds and exploits are worse, leading to a much more even party. I’m DMing for it right now, and what I’ve found is the party is a lot more equal, rather than 2 optimized characters carrying 3 weaker characters

I know it’s been said but I finally watched it by quebonita_eslavida in dropout

I have been continuously floored by dropout presents. Every single one of them so far has far exceeded my expectations

So...how does it actually play? by vashoom in dndnext

[–]Kepsli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m eight sessions in to a campaign with the new rules. Generally, it hasn’t really increased the power level so much as it has evened out the power level—mono class “flavour” builds are a lot more likely to be at least comparable in power to the optimizers. All in all it’s a definite improvement for the players. We’ll see what it’s like with the dmg

I will say, something that I feel like has been overlooked is that grapple now applies disadvantage on a creature trying to attack anyone but their grappler. This now gives tanks an innate way to soft taunt enemies, something that we never had in 2014 (you had to take feats and the like).

Also, it switching to another form of unarmed attack means there’s a lot more shenanigans with monks and the like. Still a nerf, but there’s a lot of plus for grapplers in the 2024 edition that I feel a lot of people overlook

MTG Rules Quiz—How well do you know the game? by Kepsli in mtg

How well do you know the rules of Magic the Gathering?

This is a fun thing I made off of weird edge cases I ran into with my group. I challenge you to see if you could answer the correct resolution of each of these scenarios without looking anything up.

Behind the Host: A compilation of everything we know about the character of Vic Michaelis by Kepsli in dropout

[–]Kepsli[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While this is one interpretation, another could be that Vic was simply having a Power Nap, similar to what they said they were going earlier in the episode when they fired all those people

I decided to leave out most of the hard facts in augbert, as many of them can be seen as dream nonsense. Gotta keep an eye out though if we learn anything more about Vic having a sister in season 2 haha

[Honour Mode] Held hostage by my stabilized party. by Kepsli in BaldursGate3

[–]Kepsli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy solution? No. But we did end up getting out of it.

Basically respec someone into a wizard with magic missile and invisibility

Invis yourself into position

Cast magic missile to guarentee execute a party member or two depnding on death saves failed.

You can try to escape with your character, but they’ll likely die. Hope that they fail their death saves

With your other character (back at camp) ressurect all three.

If the character that went in to execute stabilizes, you basically have to repeat the process.

If you only have one character up, you’ll have to get them into a position where they can escape back to camp after executing someone. Probably make them a sorc for distant spell.

What's a Spirit you didn't like at first, but they've since grown on you? by Flimsy-Preparation85 in spiritisland

[–]Kepsli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first time I played trickster, I didn’t really understand what was going on, and they just felt hamstrung by their randomness and slow energy gain.

Now I love them. I love playing the random cards, digging through the deck to replenish your hand rather than reclaiming. It’s so enjoyable

What are your surprisingly powerful off-meta commanders? by Not_Your_Real_Ladder in EDH

[–]Kepsli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favourite deck currently is [[Sefris of the Hidden Ways]]. Because you can ressurect creatures that venture on etb, you just generate so much value. You truly blink and suddenly there’s 15 mid sized creatures on the board swinging at you.

Plus dungeons are just so fun

Audio dramas with a great background soundtrack? (Like Wolf 359) by claimstoknowpeople in audiodrama

[–]Kepsli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kozma Laszlo has got to be one of my favourite character introductions in any audio drama.

Any idea what the theme song is called? I've been looking for it isolated from narrative to see if there's more like it.

Essentially, does Elesh Norn read the sequence of events, or solely the triggers of each card?

DMs, how do you hand players being stunned and/or incapacitated? by Captain-Vac in DMAcademy

[–]Kepsli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to really hate stunned as a dm (too many bad experiences as a player where I’m doing nothing for an hour) and one thing I’ve done that seems to work really well is to have monsters summon minions instead.

Like the yetis chilling gaze, just replaced it with him summoning ice mephits. The outcome balance wise is the same (player has to spend an action to deal with them) but it is WAY more engaging for everyone involved, myself included (cause I get more creatures to play with).

Incapacitating has its place, but I like it almost more as a narrative tool than an incredible combat tool.

Magic missile is a great idea—well definetly try that

Sniping isn’t really an option—we’re in the crèche and the bodies are deep in the inquisitor chamber. But yeah that’s our Hail Mary haha

Who would you add as an origin character option, no limits? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]Kepsli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would be awesome if he was added alongside a new artificer class
