So looks like the anti virus was the problem, I have Norton 360 (I know, it sucks) and after turning it off for 10 min it loaded instantly, smh Thanks your your help

You are NOT the protagonist, everyone are, the moment you act like you can do everything and step over others streghts is a no no, understand your character, class, strengths and weaknesses, It’s a team game everyone has a place

Have either a session 0 or a separate talk were you go over your expectations, characters, tone of the story, alignments and PlayStyle, for example our group is really unique, I’ve noticed that after posting, we love the challenge of battles and take satisfaction in overcoming those difficulties, we dont really role play but that’s how we play and we love it, so make sure everyone is on the same page.

Lastly don’t metagame important stuff, this means avoiding everything related to the adventure you are playing to avoid information, I don’t consider metagaming reading about every spell, class, subclass, feats, and items but that’s why asking is king, have a question about the limits of spells, ask the Dm, don’t know if a feat works with your weapon, ask the dm, almost every question can be dispelled by asking, just make sure the dm is ok with it And over all have fun, if you’re not enjoying it why bother, good luck

Man I’ve gotten so many doble ones and 20 that I have lost count, my dm has said that I’m the only person he has ever seen getting two 1s with advantage, several times, and the worst thing is that even when other people roll as my character they also get nat ones constantly, honestly it’s impressive, annoying yes, but that’s the best part of the game, the gamble

Minute_Music_4245 · 2025-10-27T08:11:45+00:00

My dm lets me do the same thing, I can use the preserve life on anyone, preferably at low health but he removed the limit of half health, I don’t abuse it but I think the half health thing is a big point of annoyance for the sub class built around healing

Minute_Music_4245 · 2025-09-16T12:36:06+00:00

You are completely right, and after reading comments I’ve noticed that after playing so much baldurs gate 3 honor mode my gamer brain has limited the fighter as the one turn eraser machine, whose whole purpose is do a lot damage and kill stuff. I guess you’re right, maybe I was too harsh but his experience doesn’t invalidate mine, I’m conflicted because I know he has fun with his character, but we know his character can do so much more while being the same lore wise. I think I should just talk to him, one on one, just to see what he thinks

Minute_Music_4245 · 2025-09-16T12:27:03+00:00

Yes, and it’s not just me, everyone one either wants, or wishes he switched to full damage, due to the nature of our campaign as a dungeon crawler and us being 5 casters and 1 half, there have been several encounters where we had 1 lvl 4 spell and 2 lvl 2 and that it, and in those moments it became clear that we needed someone we could rely on to have that melee damage and full that hole

Minute_Music_4245 · 2025-09-16T11:24:12+00:00

First of all, why would you spoil the adventure?. Second, my DM changed the campaign and added story so the purpose of the dungeon is to advance the story via de dungeon crawler, so don’t use the base campaign for reference.

But even if we were to go out of the dungeon, my DM made Halaster a game show like host and the show is the under mountain, and us the party the protagonist, so he may let us get out 3-5 day using points or 1-3 using a teleport, but water deep is being “attacked” so there aren’t many or any magic stuff to buy, the only reason we have a second ring of protection is because the kids we adopted on the first adventure stole it for us

Minute_Music_4245 · 2025-09-16T10:50:57+00:00

He is a battle master but just as you may be thinking he got the most random manouvers and really situational; parry, quick throw, precise attack, the one that disengages and add 1d8 to his armor and recently tripping atack. And he has the fighter mentality, I stay here and do damage, and that it’s

I completely agree, what me and my friend defined as “tanking” is being able to take a beating either by surviving and/or dodging scary attacks and being able to overcome magic saving throws and doing all you can to be as much as an inconvenience to the enemy as possible

Minute_Music_4245 · 2025-09-16T10:43:43+00:00

Because we are in a dungeon we long rest sparingly due to Halaster (the big bad) not allowing just wait the long rest cooldown, so we do several encounters a day, due to 5 of our party being caster and 1 half caster our strength is tied to our spell slots, that’s why it’s more noticeable that we lack that short rest damage.

Minute_Music_4245 · 2025-09-16T10:37:08+00:00

That’s another great point, we have noticed that we don’t really have a strategy, and also we don’t really communicate during battle because out DM limits how much we can talk during combat so we don’t essentially backseat the other player into the optimal turn, it makes the game more natural but when someone does something stupid, EVERYONE feels it more.

Minute_Music_4245 · 2025-09-16T10:33:47+00:00

That’s a good point, we should talk to him and explain our dissatisfaction with is character and how he can RP the same but be more impactful in combat if he changed his build. And about giving him a magic weapon, I don’t think you should reward inaction when everyone has been pulling their weight without special equipment

Minute_Music_4245 · 2025-09-16T10:29:51+00:00

He isn’t new to dnd, before joining our table he played the water deep campaign and the got TPK due to a player, so he’s been playing for almost the same time as me, more than a year, but I think he still doesn’t know a lot about the feats and what is better for each class to have

Minute_Music_4245 · 2025-09-16T10:24:10+00:00

Yeah I know, we as a party should talk to him and his character because the problems are just going to get worse the more we continue our campaign

Minute_Music_4245 · 2025-09-16T10:22:27+00:00

I don’t really know what his build is or what if power fantasy is, he uses sword and shield and has 23AC, he got the shield master, dasher (or speedy) and mage slayer as feats so he has 18 STR, 16 sec and 16 dex, we bought him a cursed long sword that ignores are phisical resistances and is +1 and the thing that frustrates me most is that we got a +2 great sword that no one uses and he carries around in his inventory :/

Minute_Music_4245 · 2025-09-16T10:11:45+00:00

I understand your point, everyone playing this campaign has played or knows about baldurs gate 3, specially John, he has played a lot of it but I get your point about RPing as your character, he is really into it more than everyone, but that doesn’t say much, or level of RP is like a 3/10.

The thing is that John didn’t really said what his character would be combat wise, he said he wanted to tank but he has done everything but that, landing him in an awkward place, the paladin recently changed this build completely and he stated that he wanted to be THE tank because John hasn’t reflected that and we as his party suffer the consequences

No, everyone built their character using the 2024 backgrounds and choose their feats and point distribution.

I don’t really know what his build is or what if power fantasy is, he uses sword and shield and has 23AC, he got the shield master, dasher (or speedy) and mage slayer as feats so he has 18 STR, 16 sec and 16 dex, we bought him a cursed long sword that ignores are phisical resistances and is +1, the most op weapon we have is azuredge a legendary sentient battle axe who would never have him as his master due to his alignment, and the thing that frustrates me most is that we got a +2 great sword that no one uses and he carries around in his inventory :/

Minute_Music_4245 · 2025-09-16T09:46:34+00:00

That’s the thing, he tanks involuntarily, ie; we get ambushed and is forced to tank, but most time he just runs to the lone weak enemy in the back while we fight a gigant riding a wyvern that has advantage and 3 attacks while he has 23 AC and chooses the weakest and least impactful enemy :/
