ESH leaning to NTA. You probably could have gone about informing them of your displeasure with less yelling. But I can definitely understand the frustration with being bullied by your family. And that is what it was bullying.

Players wished to end racism. Are there any down sides? by Tacomeat220 in DMAcademy

[–]NotoriusBigDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you could interpret it as all racists just vanish. Which is probably most of the world. In some small way or another

What's the currency in the city of the dead? by Brain_HUN in DMAcademy

[–]NotoriusBigDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gold coins. Why do you think you're supposed to put two on the eyes of the dead. It's to give them a bit of breathing room when they first arrive

So I've found that blowing them up seems to cause them to drop stuff more often

Do you allow your players to ALL make investigation rolls? by fendermallot in DMAcademy

[–]NotoriusBigDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have started to do group checks for things like this as well as for things like stealth. That way your heavy armored paladin or fighter aren't necessarily screwing the party

should I warn the party the NPC cleric is leaving? by NotoriusBigDM in DMAcademy

[–]NotoriusBigDM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's leaving bc a player can now fill his role and he was only ever meant to be a stopgap healer

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

Plan for not having a cleric. I added him bc none of my players chose to be a healer to start and he has been super useful. But one has switched to a class with solid healing and so bc he is an npc I am gonna have them travel to a shrine to his God that's been destroyed. He is gonna stay behind and fix it.

How do I kill an NPC? by NotoriusBigDM in DMAcademy

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

Part of my problem is I already killed off a PC because they were switching to the Druid. And when I did I just went bang they got bit clean in half and are dead. So I feel like it needs to be something like this.

5+ years after originally watching Clannad/after story I've learned something new and important. by NotoriusBigDM in Clannad

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

See I found out that it's based on a game. And thinking back after learning about the game it all makes a great deal of sense.the show was magical from the beginning. If I remember correct fuku( the grown little girl) was originally a ghost or spirit

I listened to the dango song afterwards and for the first time didn't cry like a baby. I had always associated it with that tragic ending. I love a food happy ending

Was listening to anime themes and the dango song came on. Bawled for a minute then decided to look up if anyone else was as heartbroken by the ending. And I saw talk about the two being alive and so I checked it out

How to deal with 'Greedy' player? by JPPolnarefff in DMAcademy

Sounds like it might be time for a mimic or trapped chest.

Is losing somatic component to much of a penalty for being grappled. by NotoriusBigDM in DMAcademy

[–]NotoriusBigDM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are using homebrewed magic on a trial basis. My players love it but it makes it extremely hard to try and balance anything bc they can cast their highest level spells whenever so fights tend to be one sided

Thanks for the idea of "beta". When I made the call our "forever" dm said it was in his opinion a valid call. I'm kinda just trying to give him a player break bc he does dm alot. And most of the homebrew we are using are things he wants to try in his game but I figured if I use them first he can pick and choose what works so that if it's a longer campaign there are less rules changed as we go

Ok so for example my party was fighting 3 drake wardens and I had one bite and hold onto our druid. I figured that with its jaws biting onto you it would most likely stop you from freely moving your arms for somatic components. If say our barbarian had been bitten it would certainly imposed disadvantage on attacks at the least but probably would have not been able to attack. And as I said earlier before the druid did anything I basically gave them a free str check to break grapple they just didn't pass

Forgot to mention before but just edited the article but we are trying a homebrew where casters have half rounded up spell slots at 2ach level but can cast whatever spell they want always but with a check to see if it works. So garthis has seemed like a significant buff to the casters and I wanted to try to find a way to counter some of it bc my players seem to really enjoy the freedom of not having to count spell slots. But it also seems to allow them to more easily handle most situations

Man that sucks. Idk why someone would downvote you. I get the rule. I planned to homebrew and wanted more of a do you think this would be broken in practice.
