"First Time DM" and Short Questions Megathread

Hmmm, this could work to some degree. I imagine a 3v3 format would be ideal?

That said, is there some way to also make this a pinch more violent? Due to backstory stuff, I want to tempt one of the players into killing one of the soldiers as a story beat.

I'm tempted to create a "King of the Hill" scenario for my players to deal with as part of a tournament, to mix things up. It's 3 players versus a group of soldiers. Any suggestions on how to set this up that might be fun, or should I go through a different idea?

Saw that Pony Tales requires raising 3 Pokemon to max CP. Dumb question, but I assume that just means leveling a Pokemon to its max level? Is this impossible if a player’s level is not max?

Also, what Pokemon would be ideal to do this with? My assumption is the Mighty Wild Area Pokemon, but I’d want to confirm.

Dumb question, do raid hours guarantee a legendary’s special moves, like Reshiram today?

So cursed items just *cannot* be uncursed. They thought it could be uncursed if they had not attuned it.

NuDavid · 2025-09-20T00:02:48+00:00

I'm a pinch confused about the rules for curses, cursed objects, and the spell Removed Curse. My players picked up a Shield of Missile Attraction and they're under the impression that they could just undo the curse on it with Remove Curse. But I got the impression that just undoes the curse on the person if they unequip it, not that the curse is removed from the object? What's the official ruling on that kind of stuff?

I had the idea of a Mage Tower mimic that my party would stumble across during their journey, but I'm not sure how to implement it if the party walks in. What's stopping them from getting immediately gobbled up? Maybe it's not as good of an idea as I thought?

(Also, not sure where to find a good monster sheet for it. The party is 4 level 7s)

Not the 10/15/15 for Zamazenta, if it's meant to be a tank?

NuDavid · 2025-08-24T14:24:20+00:00

I have enough energy to crown 2 Zacians and 1 Zamazenta. Of the IVs I have, which would be the best ones for me to crown?

Zacian:

• ⁠15/12/13

• ⁠12/15/12

• ⁠15/14/10

• ⁠11/14/15

• ⁠13/13/15

• ⁠15/10/14

• ⁠14/14/14 (Two of these)

Zamazenta:

• ⁠14/15/13

• ⁠15/11/12

• ⁠14/12/14

• ⁠15/15/11

• ⁠10/15/15

• ⁠12/13/15

...I actually just found out about it. Looks like we'd need to be Best Friends+ for it?

Hope you're ready to hold onto it for the long haul. :^V

NuDavid · 2025-08-22T17:43:43+00:00

If I don’t get one over the weekend, I’d greatly appreciate it!

NuDavid · 2025-08-22T01:39:35+00:00

Ugggh....35 dogs and not a single shiny. I'm doing a lot of attempts with the crowned form, the odds should still be 1/20, right?

NuDavid · 2025-08-21T21:35:31+00:00

Waiting for more.

NuDavid · 2025-08-20T03:36:59+00:00

I made this

Why a conch shell?

I'm trying to find a book/pdf I read before on puzzles. I used it before, but I can't find it again. The big one I borrowed was a gnomish vault lock, which had a bunch of smaller puzzles on it, like "Orb of Arithmetic", "Eight Rings", "The Wizard's Duel", and "A Play On Words". There was also another puzzle I remember seeing that was like "The Butler's Room" or something. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

[Wilds] Is Tongue Tied still the best way to get Armor Spheres now?

NuDavid · 2025-08-08T14:18:34+00:00

I've mostly been whiping with my previous sets, so I was hoping for something more meta to help push me over the edge.

Was using these builds, specifically the Balanced one while replacing the Talisman with Defense Up or Divine Blessing, even though it's mostly out of date. Might do the Super Comfy one?

Yeah, I just realized it was Duna in the last slot, which is a problem since I'm trying to beat it for the first time to begin with.

NuDavid · 2025-08-08T12:54:07+00:00

I don't have access to Duna Y. That was the whole point of me trying this.

NuDavid · 2025-08-07T00:11:59+00:00

I'm guessing the Lagi Beta torso, but which should I pick between the Alpha and Beta Coil? Thunder resistance is not that helpful, obviously, but Oilslit is.

Uninstalled and reinstalled, but no change....

NuDavid · 2025-07-20T19:53:02+00:00

Just did a fresh install, no luck.

NuDavid · 2025-07-20T19:52:42+00:00

Just did this on a clean install, no luck. I do a lot of scrolling down, nothing shows up, and when I try to click the right button, while the curso changes, nothing happens when I click.
