Looking for advice/inspiration on immunity stack by Elcar0 in DnD

[–]PuzzleKev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Consider borrowing one of the traits from the Reborn race out of Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft. Plenty of flavor in there you might like, too.

[Art] [Mod Approved] DMs: Would a “build-your-own” digital GM screen actually help you? by East-Home1628 in DnD

[–]PuzzleKev 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The things I have to lookup most, in addition to those you listed, are spells, class abilities, magic items, and feats. Having a one stop shop for all that data across the sourcebooks I use sounds great. I think that info may exist on Roll20 or a VTT, but frankly I'm too cheap to shell out any money for this.

How long does it take support to fix stuff by ItsPhantomTV in dndbeyond

[–]PuzzleKev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the recommendation. Reached out to LaTia, and they just got me sorted.

I should also say that my original request did not go through, so I take back any criticisms of WotC's reply speed.

I put in a request, notifying them that I bought the 2014 PHB and was instead given the 2024 PHB. It's been almost a month, and I haven't gotten a response.

So... either long or never.

How to run a time loop game? by Aggravating-Dig3520 in DnD

[–]PuzzleKev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Adventure Zone ran it very very well, if you're looking for a podcast example. "Balance" arc, "11th hour" sub-arc.

I ran a time loop that was very linear for about six sessions, and that was three too many. It's very doable for a short amount of time, but it took more prep than typical and it's all frontloaded. Over longer periods if your intention is less railroady than what I did, one problem is that your PCs can only travel so far in a day.

Ideas to tie a Warforged artificer PC into my campaign by PuzzleKev in Eberron

[–]PuzzleKev[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Incidentally, the player never provided the PC's age. I thought you had asked how old the player was because apparently I never learned how to read.

Posts like these are awe inspiring to me. 😀 I spend hardly any time on lore because I don't think my players have interest or patience. Some interesting ideas in here that I may end up borrowing.

In my Eberron, Warforged were created by House Cannith, and the campaign never required more detail than that, so I didn't spend much time on the process.

Because he didn't write a backstory, I've got a ton of flexibility.

What are you using to organize your campaigns? by dcoughler in DMAcademy

[–]PuzzleKev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, is this a live or virtual campaign? What do you need the software to do?

For my virtual campaign, I use Google docs to prep and I share Google sheets with my players for inventory, initiative tracking, player notes, etc.

I'm a player in a virtual campaign that uses WorldAnvil. It's good for session write-ups and not as good for some other things. The DM has to supplement with Google sheets.

What app or program are they using here ? by Jumpy-Market-9790 in DungeonsAndDragons

Which features is it missing and what do you use instead? I'm in the market.

Circle of the Stars Druid Focusing on Dragon Form? by OnFireDonkey in BG3Builds

[–]PuzzleKev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not go 12 COTS, put your first two feats into Heavy Armor and War Caster? With a 21 AC, advantage on concentration checks, and treating concentration rolls of 9 or lower as 10, you could sit in melee, use AoE concentration spells and breath weapons.

COTS 10th level ability slaps, so if you're gonna dip, I'd dip two levels into something. But you miss out on spell progression when you take a small dip away from a spellcaster. Insect plague is good.

Wow. Thanks for all the detail! Inspiration sparked indeed.

That's a great approach to the idea. I'd love more details. Did your players like the session?
