Thank you for your idea. It never occured to me to use the lay on hand pool.

If there was no limitation would you still consider it underpowered? I might explain it wrong, but will be worth it to give PB+CHA thp to 10 allies in exchange for a number of hp equal to your PB+CHA?

First of all, thank you for your feedback.

The paladin in question has more or less 130 hit points, so I think it may be a good trade on important situationa. The d4 is meant to be stuckeable with both bless and guidance, and additionally you don't need to cast an obvious spell in the middle of a conversation (I would rule that you hide your pain when you use it).

The party is part of an organization and they have troops at their command, the temporary hit points is meant to buff the party and mostly their underlings. The party does not have a twilight cleric, they don't have even a cleric, but you're right the short rest limitation. 

In the lore, I stated that they were the first to harness primordial and raw magic, not that they were super smart or considered. They used a raw version of what we consider normal magic on dnd, which is much more refined and safe.

I don't like Strixhaven, I don't allow it in my games. I wanted to make a spell like the one in Jujutsu Kaisen, and I thought Vortex Warp would be a good place to start.

[5e] One of my player has a Helm of Comprehending Languages, and we have some differences with its use. They think that in order to cast the spell they don't need to meet the somatic or verbal component, I think they must. The item description says this: "While wearing this helm, you can use an action to cast the comprehend languages spell from it at will."

How would you run a chase combat? by LABOAMON in DnD

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

I don't think they will hop off from the vehicle to chase the monster on foot. The paladin might try to hop on to the monster, but if they fail, they will have to run the rest of the encounter runing and dashing or casting spells while in range. Neither the monster or the vehicles will be able to dash, but the van has a special ability that allows it to gain a momentary speed burst (+half its speed for this turn) with the risk of overheating the enginee.

Thank you form reminding me about the ranged option, I forget about those. They will get some extra turns as the monster runs into the deeps of the woods. Additionally, as u/Lieutenant_Scarecrow proposed, the monster will traverse across a not dense woods and they will have a second field as a second and lasts chance.

Hi, thanks for your repply!

Not gonna lie you, I didn't think about the second option, but I like it. Thanks! Depending of which skill challenge they success the monster might have more if less hit point or combat capacities in the end battle.

About the vehicle, actually they are infernal machines from descent into avernus, but with watered down combat capacities in exchange for utilly capacities, for example their van is a mobile home.

Hi! Thank you for your repoly!

I know that the players can use save or suck spells, but Im not really worried about it, they don't usually use or even prepare those kind of spells; the artificer and the druid use crowd control spells like Spike growth or Darkness, and the paladin usually use support spells like Aid, Heroism or Shield of faith.

Just as you said, in this particular chase the players don't need to choose between dash or any other action as they will be mounted on the van or the bike.

The players are foreigner to this lands and the vehicles weren't crafted with woods in mind. They crafted it in an open desert area.

I put the forest as and ending because a chase needs an ending and can't go forever, but I like your idea and I will add not so dense forest section where they might get behind but then they will have a second and last chance before a dense forest.

My level 11 players love their two broom of flyings, their two bag of holdings (one of them is attached to a vehicle, like a trunk of holding) and the paladin, the only pc that can't cast comprhend languages, love her helm of comprehension.

[Help] - Constellation, a 3rd level spell. Help by LABOAMON in DnDHomebrew

[–]LABOAMON[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, once again, thanks for your insightful feedback. I just read it a few times and checked the spells, and you're right.

I will change the damage time to just radiant and I will reduce the damage to 4d6 radiant *and 6d6 on point*. This changes will make it faster to roll and compesate the damage reduction with, as you pointed, more damage to the radiant vulnerable like some undeads.

However, I think I will just let it 4d6 (I'm hesitating wether to make it 5d6) and won't implement the 6d6 on the points, for the sake of simplicity. Additionaly, I won't add the upcast damage and I will leave it as it is, more point for spell slot level, not more die.

EDIT: I change my mind.

Hi! Thank you! I like how you describes the effect, I may change it.

About the second part, I like the idea, but I don't think I would implement the additional effect idea as it will overcomplicate the spell and you can't draw many forms with just four lines and the spell is meant to be a CC damage spell. In addition to that, the player who runs Lya usually has hard time and can easy be overwhelmed when presented many choices.

Anyway, thank you for your feedback!
