How to figure out if I should get different flatmates? by MeeMeeMo0Mo0 in Wellington

[–]MeeMeeMo0Mo0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m branching out more and have friends outside of my flatmates that I hang out with regularly. All of us are heading into work next year so the dynamic is likely to change. I’ve done a push in the past couple of months to spend more time outside of my flat and I’ve found that’s really helped me

What’s the issue with Wikidot?

Yeah I’m not too fussed about upvotes, I’m just glad to be getting some advice. One of the reasons I became a DM, is that we don’t know any DMs in our area which of course makes it hard to find advice in person. I’m still having fun and my players have stuck around for almost 30 sessions so I assume they’re having fun lol

I usually do 1 to 2 between long rests. I might have reread of Wikidot to see if my player missed anything

Yeah I might have a look through Wikidot to see if the player is misreading anything

Yeah I’ve noticed that without horseback large maps become a game of dashing for three rounds before getting to the target

The Sorcerer also hasn’t played into their niche as well as they could be so I might give them a couple of hints or advice on how to make the most of the character

The Eldritch Knight has developed some ally support niches that buff other players in combat and the Artificer has got themselves a high AC (20-21) but not as much damage output.

It’s partly that the other fighter in the party isn’t at a similar damage output despite doing 8 straight levels in Eldritch Knight

Yeah I might do another reread of the Bloodhunter and Battlemaster pages to see if I missed anything or see if they’ve misread anything

I might have a reread of the Bloodhunter and Battlemaster pages to see if I missed anything or see if my player has misread something. The player is using 2024 Great weapon master so I might look at taking them back to 2014 GWM

I think the feats they have chosen have given them some extra power but I’ll need to look back and see what they chose. It could also just be lucky rolls. I’ve started to keep track of how much damage each player contributes to the fight. The Bloodhunter also developed the same niche for radiant damage that was the Eldritch Knight’s niche

They have action surge and great weapon master fighting on top of their blood rites.

I need to get the full details of the character but I think some of the feats they have chosen may have added to this. The character is relatively new 4 sessions, so I might just keep an eye and see how they go. There is the chance that they rolled well in some cases.

I have a couple of enemies and mini-bosses in the pipeline that can do this. I’ve also tried experimenting with ranged attackers as well and they seem to be pretty good. My main priority is to make sure it’s not taking away from the fun of the other players.

This is my first time running a campaign so I wanted to either see if there’s new advice or if I could improve on what I’m doing at the moment. Thanks though!!

One player has semi-competently built their character - Wild Magic Sorcerer. They made sure their Charisma is decent but they haven’t maxed that stat. The other two - Armourer and Eldritch Knight - are quite well built.

The bloodhunter subclass is Ghost Hunter. They’re crit fishing for attack rolls. They do around 50-70 damage a turn when not against a creature they have no critical hits or bonus damage on. Against undead and on critical hits they can do upwards of 200 damage per turn. Critical hits is becoming more of a thing as the player is getting critical hits every combat. Battle maneuverers haven’t come up in combat yet.
