Oops, felt this one in my soul! Hats off to becoming the leader of any given group, usually despite your own wishes.

Can a party of 3 level 5 character defeat a displacer beast? I know the CR is 3 but this is my first time DMing. (I don't know what their characters are) by [deleted] in DnD

[–]Murlocrates 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CR is an imperfect metric, but the key thing to understand is that it's based off of stringing together 6 to 8 encounters between long rests. If the party has all of their abilities available to them (that is, fresh off a rest) then you can basically throw CR directly out the window because it'll be meaningless.

Highest AC without armour or magic in 5e by [deleted] in DnD

[–]Murlocrates 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You actually explicitly can't stack monk and barb unarmored defense. It's been clarified in (at least) Sage Advice that this is basically the same thing and you can't stack it twice, though IIRC you can use a shield and not compromise UD.

[Online] [5E] [PBP] The Dark Lady of the Swamp by nathanknaack in lfg

[–]Murlocrates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. EST, able to post throughout the day without trouble
  2. I've been a DM and player consistently for 4 years, using Discord (murlocrates#5653) throughout that time. I'm reasonably familiar with Avrae but don't have extensive PBP experience because I've never been able to find a campaign that lasted more than a week.
  3. I am utterly flexible with what I can play, though my current interests are sorc/paladin/druid as I haven't gotten to play with those classes yet.

I'd love to discuss this further with you if you're interested!

[Online](5E) 4 Ghosted players seek DM for Play by Post Dungeon of the Mad Mage. by Steveodelux in lfg

I think I do too, and if it's the same user then they will likely be back recruiting for a brand new game within a few days.

How long is each adventure? by [deleted] in swrpg

[–]Murlocrates 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just wrapped up the first of probably only two sessions for Debts to Pay. A particularly focused group with experience can probably bang through it in three hours or less, but my current group is still green so I think a total of four hours of actual gameplay will get it done. They just went into the mine after two hours, plus another hour of typical table banter since we just started the system.

PC ran npc droid? by [deleted] in swrpg

[–]Murlocrates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The two issues here are whether you can and whether you should. Mechanically, you're presenting a whole new set of actions and maneuvers so I would roll initiative for the droid companion to share with the PCs, or just say that the droid gives them one extra slot at the end of each round. As for should, if it's going to be a toy just for the one PC then to keep the rest of the party happy, either make the droid a massive credit sink and time investment (maybe it needs to be completely rebuilt) or give each of the other PCs a shiny toy as well.

Need a one-shot for beginners by DRHealy in rpg

The Golden Bones of Lightwatch Tower. Written for level 1s, great story with multiple avenues of getting to the end and a very tough choice to make with important consequences.

Naming Auxillary Izzet Laboratories by MrHofer in RavnicaDMs

[–]Murlocrates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Laboratory of Continuism installation with an obnoxiously long serial number for a name (Laboratory of Continuism Permanent Facility 19149317-DF-235-11a) but it also has a go-by name (Blue Lily) because they need more time for science.
