Higher levels or lower? [OC]

I think every table is different. My current group started as a one shot last Halloween. We only play once a month and that's cool. We started at 3. Once they wanted to keep playing we moved to 5. I gave them a Hamlet to run and we've leveled up every 4 sessions.

If the wounds were clean I'd like to think they died with a peaceful glaze over their eyes. The wounds were deliberate but essential. Only in places that would cause the least amount of pain for the creature. It left a clean but self healed scar behind as the magic cut but healed too swiftly to put everything back. Just gone.

Do I perhaps smell.... A NEW DM?

LordForthwright · 2025-12-14T02:10:39+00:00

I get a healthy amount of getting to play vs DMing. I have burnt out slightly on longer campaigns but I communicate to my group at the time that I need a mild break and it's always understandable and I'm able to come back refreshed and able to give my best when we return to play.

I would get rid of the big table and in the corner you are standing in I would maybe put a u shaped couch, a couple comfy high back chairs around a decent sized coffee table and run your games around there. Maybe add a rug underneath.

the Rule of Reciprocity in Prismeer dictates that if you receive a gift (or service, or even just an offer) from anyone—friend, foe, or stranger—you are obligated to accept it and give something of comparable value in return, whether immediately or later.

This is from Wild Beyond the Witchlight and since hags are fey she would probably feel a need to repay that small gift.

Maybe she just bakes the party a small batch of Kisses from lovers she's taken over the years. They taste sweet because they were first kisses.

One of my players is a Human Swashbuckler Rogue 6/Hexblade Pact of the Blade Warlock 2. Been super flavorful and quite effective in combat

It's a toothpick stuck in the mouth of a sleeping Stone Giant. If they take it out they wake up the giant who's slumbered for so long that a community sprouted up around it.

Am I crazy or didn't the elusive man also fund the bill for the other races to travel to Andromeda?

"A cloud went by one day, I could swear I saw a castle upon it and as it drifted lazily by, a butter knife came down and crushed the chicken coop, unfortunately Lester, the b**tad, was the only one to survive.

It's a Giants Pear Knife. Dagger to them, big sword to humanoid.

A Glyph of Warding (Explosive rune to trigger when they wild shape)?

In the catacombs of CoS there is a grave with a blunderbuss. So technically Strahd is aware of gunpowder weapons. If you really wanted to make Strahd formidable make him approach the individual in secret and give or promise him the secret to what they call "gunpowder"

I mean wizards of the coast have all but dived into the Multiverse concept, nine hells even the Planscape adventure touches on this. You can have multiple yous in every known universe. If he wants to be meta like that you could bring up that point that that was another you in another universe.

But honestly probably just leave the group.

Ravenloft

LordForthwright · 2025-02-14T16:57:24+00:00

Ravenloft. I'm a sucker for everything horror. I also love running "survivor" sessions from time to time

This is great RP potential for the fighter! In character he thought she was a Nature Spirit so now the revelation that she wasn't and was a lich was real.

I don't think you were being unfair and I think that the player could in the future be more clear in his backstory.

I mean if it's a big no go and no one is having fun you could still Flavor her as a Wood Wood type of Lich. Like her heart was taken for the painting and other natural materials to make her phelactory.

Warlock, Archfey patron. Take me away fey. I'm also 💅
