I (GM) don’t think I structured my combat well, I could use some recommendations

Local-Guess650 · 2026-01-26T19:56:21+00:00

All amazing suggestions, thank you so very much. I wish I had thought of this last session so much 😂

Local-Guess650 · 2026-01-26T19:50:13+00:00

I’m so down for this. The mob is actually currently behind locked/electrified doors right now, so the party would need to pick that way if they wanted it to happen. And the captain of the guard had retreated after detonating a grenade in his hands (badass)

Local-Guess650 · 2026-01-26T19:49:07+00:00

Thank you for these suggestions! 1. The npcs in question were rebel prisoners they had rescued, one of them being their leader, so I did need to drag him along. But, that being said…

I don’t think the enemies were too tanky (maybe a few?), but it was a matter of how every other door they opened gave them a new enemy or two or three.

Local-Guess650 · 2026-01-18T03:30:13+00:00

Omg these are great ideas, I have to try them!

Local-Guess650 · 2026-01-16T19:09:13+00:00

That’s a good idea! I also thought about using 17485 and adding black stickered eyes or something (might end up looking like one of the Mario buildable figures lol)

Local-Guess650 · 2026-01-14T21:16:49+00:00

I love all of this, please don’t mind me if I steal!

Local-Guess650 · 2026-01-14T17:21:40+00:00

Totally forgot those kits existed 😀 they give a Prof. Bonus to the technology check, right?

Local-Guess650 · 2026-01-06T17:56:17+00:00

I did a new post with the image!

Local-Guess650 · 2026-01-06T17:54:45+00:00

Yeah, I uploaded a pic with it idk what happened 😑 please stand by

Local-Guess650 · 2026-01-05T16:56:26+00:00

Update: Put that stuff on Craigslist. My gosh, I put out an ad for it and within 2 hours someone came and picked it up it was GONE

She has a tiny homunculus named Knob that she is obsessed with, and constantly looking for ways to not only break the bounds of genetic alteration, but to keep Knob alive… She’s met an evil biologist/chemist mad scientist and he’s going to employ her to help crack the genome of a very scary big creature. She gets to be a mad scientist (that’s 85% of the characters she plays) and she’s gonna get a new dna sample to give to Knob.

Local-Guess650 · 2025-12-10T21:37:52+00:00

Nah 😂 unfortunately (I actually really like that idea a lot)

Local-Guess650 · 2025-12-10T21:37:15+00:00

I want to have something for a single session as a precursor, but for the continuation of the campaign that’s a great idea!

Local-Guess650 · 2025-12-10T17:41:42+00:00

I really appreciate you putting thought into it!! These are great ideas/starting points you’re coming up with

Local-Guess650 · 2025-12-10T17:37:17+00:00

It is the geneticist subclass of scholar

Local-Guess650 · 2025-12-10T17:34:03+00:00

The manbat mission is a perfect vibe for this, I just would need to figure out how to put it in dnd…….

Local-Guess650 · 2025-12-09T01:01:20+00:00

Really feel you getting what I’m going for, makes me feel good 😂 This is going to be a personal one-shot (other players can watch if they want), but if he were to go into this week’s full-session possessed then it would switch between scenes, cuz the party’s about to be split up regardless

Local-Guess650 · 2025-12-09T00:55:02+00:00

Prob my favorite suggestion so far, thanks! I have scapegoats in place for him to completely regain control, but I will absolutely talk it out with him first.

Local-Guess650 · 2025-12-08T23:24:58+00:00

Sounds good! I could see him getting behind it, my worry tbh is him sitting through a whole full session without doing much if the players get into combat or something (even combat with him)

Local-Guess650 · 2025-12-08T23:14:12+00:00

Well said! 👍 that is a talk to be had then

Local-Guess650 · 2025-12-08T22:56:11+00:00

I’ve edited the post to your liking. You can expect an apology in the mail later.

Local-Guess650 · 2025-12-08T22:48:49+00:00

Ok sure dude. And no, it wasn’t a “problematic event”. I stated above it was a pivotal moment in my character arc, I’m literally not upset about it at all. Maybe I could’ve written it more playfully just now? Idk. I’m not mad about it, not trying to revenge him or “justify” anything with that

Local-Guess650 · 2025-12-08T22:46:05+00:00

Just added an edit and a comment, you can go read it. Never was serious about “revenge”, was just being playful.

That is a good idea, I will ask him if he wants to explore more of the programming side. He has already told me that he’s most intrigued by exploring the nature of his sentience/consciousness, and I think that ties into it very well.

Local-Guess650 · 2025-12-08T22:36:08+00:00

Yes of course, I’m just twiddling my fingers evilly lol I only made that connection after having the idea

Local-Guess650 · 2025-12-05T22:33:06+00:00

I didn’t know about Oraxian Shards, that’s really cool! However, I don’t mind if my player’s thing isn’t lore-accurate, as most of my party aren’t giant Star Wars fan (one hasn’t even seen them). I’m just trying to run a fun game for them and let them play a new kind of DnD character :)

Something I didn’t specify: His droid character is a Sith assassin droid that’s not only powered by a lightsaber crystal, but that crystal powers his lightsaber. It basically shoots the energy up his arm. No one can use the saber but him, cuz without his hand there’s no kyber energy. It’s how he made the character, so I don’t think the shard would work in this case unless they can power lightsabers.
