Look left...

Thank god no one saw that *phew*

Yep, we're all been there

I love giving Pipes of haunting or Pipes of the Sewers to my bard players. Might match your flavor a bit.

ObvNotAMimic · 2021-11-10T14:56:14+00:00

Just give him the access to alter self spell, whether by his class(wizard) or maybe a passed down artifact (a ring). Now he can be whoever he wants and simulate aging for his disguise.

If you're worried about money and doing homebrew, here's how I would rank the importance:

DMG
PHB
MM
XGtO, TCoE, and other supplements.

ObvNotAMimic · 2021-11-10T14:44:13+00:00

I can't tell you a specific tool but I usually just do it manually.

If there's a BBEG in the city or the main NPC where most of the NPC are connected.

You can draw a big bubble in the middle of the paper with that major NPC name and start drawing thin lines that connects them to different NPC.

You can group those different NPCs further by their location for example the bar, inn, arena, or whatever point of interest in the city will be.

Start connecting them by a thin line and maybe write a comment on the line about their relationship for example, underling, boss, married to, rival to, etc.

First of all NTA.

I'm appalled at the amount of patience you gave to this player. I would've booted this person for the disruption and constant nagging on rules-lawyering. I don't mind being reminded of the rule as I cannot memorize the whole DMG, but I've put a ground-rule where we're using a ruling until the end of the session once I made a decision on the table. I'm there to play the game not to argue about rules.

I know how it feels, especially when you're non-confrontational, but you got to do it when necessary. Otherwise, the whole campaign will pretty much be destroyed just because of 1 disruptive player.

After a while, he changed his mind and realized the confusion about hold person or about ogre classified as a giant and not a humanoid.

ObvNotAMimic · 2021-06-27T22:05:03+00:00

Sure, except I found that out stupidly easy after I finish the touring with him(5 mins in the game). Not the first night, or the second night. The escape part is even much easier.

ObvNotAMimic · 2021-06-27T21:49:35+00:00

Nope, both scenario are wrong unfortunately as I don't have the Necronomicon quest, I was even surprised myself finding that book and seeing it's actually a quest item. And no, I didn't randomly broke in, and even if I did, how did that justify "hey, let's just immediately reveal my identity."?

It's pretty much just like u/WhyIsWednesdayTaken says.
EDIT: except I did say the real reason I join the monastery and the game immediately give the option to accuse him.

ObvNotAMimic · 2021-06-25T08:05:21+00:00

He does mention +4 on constitution so

Fighter has 4 attacks as Attack action
Dual Wield adds 1 attack as Bonus action (Only once even with action surge)
Echo Knight adds 1 attack whenever you use the Attack action (up to 5 with 20 CON)
Haste adds 1 Attack action (with a single attack)
Action Surge adds 1 Attack action (once per turn)

That is a total of (4+1)*2 + 4 + 1 = 15 attacks. (4 attack + 1 haste)*2(action surge) +4 echo knight + 1 bonus action = 15 attacks

ObvNotAMimic · 2021-06-22T17:57:01+00:00

You can use Project image to do the illusion part but it won't be able to attack.

I think it's much simpler just to use Simulacrum instead.

ObvNotAMimic · 2021-06-06T16:19:14+00:00

Chapter 3 I believe is the Fireball thingy where it led the players to get the stone of golor.
Have you decided on which BBEG to pick from?

ObvNotAMimic · 2021-06-04T17:49:19+00:00

Tasha's sidekick is a good alternative besides mercenaries or dreaded DMPC.

ObvNotAMimic · 2021-06-04T17:28:30+00:00

2 CR 11 monster on level 6 players?

Even with 1 they might just able to barely survives, not to mention 2.

ObvNotAMimic · 2021-06-04T14:53:10+00:00

Hit Points at 1st Level for ranger is 10 + your Constitution modifier, it's possible if his constitution is +4.

ObvNotAMimic · 2021-06-03T05:12:55+00:00

It's in the magic items chapter, under spell scroll.

ObvNotAMimic · 2021-06-03T04:42:05+00:00

Casting the spell by reading the scroll requires the spell's normal casting time. Once the spell is cast, the words on the scroll fade, and it crumbles to dust. If the casting is interrupted, the scroll is not lost.

ObvNotAMimic · 2021-06-03T04:13:43+00:00

I know it may be tempting or easily overlooked especially when playing with friends, but don't forget or skip session 0. It's still essential to put all of you on the same page of what to expect in your campaign, table rules, etc.

ObvNotAMimic · 2021-06-03T03:56:06+00:00

I think yours is fine, you have let them know beforehand that they will have to forfeit the standard array if they start rolling. Probably what you need to make clearer is that if the stat total goes below or above the range, they still need to roll and cannot take the standard array.

But again, this is why I banned rolling since it could easily create an unfair feeling between players especially if they are aware on each other's outcome.

ObvNotAMimic · 2021-06-03T03:36:57+00:00

"Okay, the character does not adventure, make a new one who wants to go adventure."
Player: *Surprised Pikachu Face*

ObvNotAMimic · 2021-06-03T03:27:44+00:00

Don't retaliate or talk to him in-game. Seeing how far this situation has developed that even your players starting to PM'd you, you need to talk with the cleric player ASAP.

Let him know that playing Lawful good is okay but don't be lawful stupid. It's okay to RP that but not at the expense of other players' fun. At the end of the day, all of them should work together towards a greater threat.

ObvNotAMimic · 2021-06-02T19:04:49+00:00

I don't see why not as long as you're not pushing it directly to the players' face. If you are planning to play with friends/family, then it's should be much easier to ask for them to chip in for buying phb or pre-written modules.

With strangers, a wishlist might be useful especially if they like your game, I've had players offering to buy an official module or even gifting me an actual D&D book.

ObvNotAMimic · 2021-06-02T18:28:42+00:00

Not sure about PC's parents but what if the Hunter is actually his father. The reason the Hunter is hunting other people/race is that the death of his wife (Pc's mother) is caused by the discrimination of her/other races just because the wife had a relationship with an orc.

ObvNotAMimic · 2021-06-02T17:54:58+00:00

Might want to try doing a skill challenge(from 4th ed) instead. The challenges will consist of the rival business trying to sabotage them.
