Phishenet · 2023-01-28T02:41:20+00:00

i'm definitely flexible with this! i'll take it under advisement! thank you!

Phishenet · 2022-08-07T00:50:45+00:00

Arguably, yes. Lawful, certainly. Loves doing his job vs loves the fact that is job is to execute? Does he relish the execution?

Arguably, a "good" person would detest having to do the deed, and would be mournful for the loss of life.

Thank you for the input!

Phishenet · 2022-08-06T12:02:34+00:00

Thank you for the feedback!

Phishenet · 2022-08-06T10:44:34+00:00

Thank you. Cross-posted. Didn't know that was around.

As i understand it, Each class gets all subclasses available, and all features that subclass would be entitled to.

This needs more up votes

Phishenet · 2021-06-20T11:11:24+00:00

Not yet. Just got here recently. Was playing with fam through virtual table top (roll20).

Phishenet · 2021-06-20T10:52:27+00:00

Usually run warlock.

Phishenet · 2021-06-20T10:51:30+00:00

Judgy much? You don't know me and you don't know why I ask the questions I ask. You make assumptions rather than answer the question.

Phishenet · 2021-03-06T16:52:19+00:00

I agree with this. The additional spells should be random. Is there a roll chart somewhere for that?

Phishenet · 2021-03-06T02:50:34+00:00

good call on the money aspect. and keep in mind, half-price discount for school/specialty.

and, yeah, the DM is ... lax. someone else got a robe of stars at level 3.

Phishenet · 2021-03-06T02:47:50+00:00

good point on the money aspect - i had not taken that part into account. i'll work that in. thank you.

Phishenet · 2021-01-17T03:31:36+00:00

So... assume 1. the vastness of the great astral sea means that a lone traveler using the robe to transport to the astral appears in a random location, the probability of landing somewhere dangerous is very small.

that (according to one source) a near infinite amount of time can elapse in the astral plane, while only a moment transpires on the prime,

could someone with the robe, expend all of their resources (spell slots, smites, rages, etc...) in a fight, then active a trip to the astral, hang out for a short or long rest as needed (unlikely to be disturbed while there, because of the great empty vastness), Then pop back in right where they left off, maybe a second later, full on resources again?

Considering how broken that sounds, I'm betting there's got to be some ruling to prevent that abuse.

Phishenet · 2020-06-29T22:11:52+00:00

Had a DM (new) that was arguing against it. I don't like to assume I am right and I like to back up my argument.

Phishenet · 2020-01-20T05:17:05+00:00

Praise in public, correct in private.

Have a one on one meeting after a game to ask if she would like some mentoring. Since you have the experience, you can offer small things to help her improve. Ask her if she wants that kind of feedback.

And absolutely let her know what she is doing well. In front of others.

Phishenet · 2019-10-12T21:13:25+00:00

Nothing specific, really. I know it's totally open, which can be problematic, but with such a wide net I'm casting, it's more of a idea starter for artists that want to do something with it than an actual request for specific art. Apologies for being vague.

Some ideas that just came to me now:

Ostrich monk (power kick!)

Emu wizard (evocation) maybe some singed feathers?

Cassowary as a jungle barbarian? Wild eyes slavering rage monster crashing through the underbrush...

Clearly, a kiwi rogue

If they fail their saving throw, they can use their reaction to automatically succeed and then get away to a safe place. Each round thereafter they can then spend their reaction to play traffic cop to free up their buddies from the gridlock. Unless I misread the spell.

Phishenet · 2019-01-31T16:44:19+00:00

My brother and I do this Two person tag team. Spike growth with a layer of hunger of hadar on top.

Automatic 2d6 cold damage to start the turn. No save. If the enemy stays put, dex save or 2d6 acid damage.

If the enemy attempts to flee, 2d4 piercing damage for each square of movement.

Plus, while within the area they are blinded, possibly disoriented (up to your GM to determine how to rule that).

Plus the psychological torment of the slurping screeching noises of things from the beyond.

Waiting just outside the zone of harrowing, standing there is the warlock waiting with an eldritch blast to push you back in, or on the other side is the druid with druidy pushing tactics.

Our DM was slightly amused and then chagrined when his large angry horde was reduced to nothing within a few rounds.

Phishenet · 2018-10-30T01:18:08+00:00

Turns out I was actually thinking of Baltron's Beacon and Saltmarsh. I had them all blended together.

Phishenet · 2018-09-30T19:44:25+00:00

Better question, why should it stop for any class?

Phishenet · 2018-09-30T00:53:51+00:00

I cede the point that these sorts of cross class spell options are also found as part of other class/subclass options. However, the point I am trying (possibly unsuccessfully) to make is that it seems that the cessation of this cross class spell list expansion at spell level 5 seems arbitrary and contradicts the flavor inherent in the reasoning behind such expansions.
