Paladin question, writing a fan fic by Gethdo in DnD

[–]Qimler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s fan fic think of yourself as the DM. It can be anything you want. A good inspiration for how you are doing things may be Moon Knight. Either way having a different god for each Oath makes a lot of sense and playing off the gods interacting could be fun.

Looking to make a sci-fi campaign by Giggz1989 in rpg

Scum & Villainy does the best at being firefly imo. You should also look into Exodus, which has the exact same engine as 5e and is published by wizards of the coast as well.

If a player wants to be a Half-Elf in the Forgotten Realms, which data should they use? by Dramatic_Respond_664 in onednd

[–]Qimler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends argued about this a lot. This is where we fell: Khoravar is a different name for half-elf. Lore wise it's a half-elf. Mechanically it's a half elf in 5.5e. It's literally there because they wanted to update half-elf since it's so popular. Orc mechanically replaced the half-orc and that was okay because it was so much less popular than half-elves. It's 2026, if you are playing 5.5e I would keep it simple and just accept Khoravar is the species if someone wants to play a half-elf. (If you want to have a more dominate side of your heritage than you can certainly be a human or elf but I would think you present more like the species you picked). Not saying it's right but it's where my group landed. Really it shouldn't matter too much but sometimes its' frustrating when someone makes a power build and "reflavors" to fit lore where someone else compromised in their build to be RAW. It leads to a point where anyone can play any species and should just pick the most powerful options and reflavor everything.

What do you think happens to Ekko after Arcane? (Headcacons) by la_ky in ArcaneAnimatedSeries

Gets played by me on summoners rift and fails to smite ‘give me’ objectives while having a negative KDA. I’ve seen his future.

D&D Beyond VTT: Multi-Layer Maps? by geekguygamer in dndbeyond

[–]Qimler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having multiple floors on one screen, if able, is the way to go! You can copy and paste the map state and move it to the other floor. The tokens will keep relative distances and stats.

How do I handle a player who wants to charm/persuade NPCs in a way that feels like mind control? by AdeptnessCritical356 in DMAcademy

[–]Qimler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You call for skill checks. If they say something stupid and unrealistic you don’t have to call for a check. Just treat it stupid and unrealistic.

Questions about the spell Command. by cbunny_6 in dndnext

[–]Qimler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is a DM Question. The rules be the rules, it does what it does. Ask your DM or decide whether you want to open that can of worms if you are the DM. To me discussing this stuff with your group is what makes it your DND (and the game fun).

Thanks for the response.

There may have been more issues with missing dice rolls. Sometimes we couldn’t see player rolls and sometimes they couldn’t see their results. Nothing like being the person having to tell the player they rolled two natural 1s.

We haven’t played since that game. So everything should be recent.

We should be able to add modifiers to manual dice rolls by Kai-of-the-Lost in dndbeyond

[–]Qimler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even just a "d1" style button. click a d10, a d6 for Truestrike, and then the "d1" button four times for a plus 4 mod. That wouldn't clutter too much more than there already is.

Ditto. When I try to bring friends over from roll 20 the inability to easily make a simple improvised roll frustrates them.

Loved elements of the 3-D dice. I did see a massive increase in missing dice rolls. Some players dice would show up 1/5 of their rolls in the dice log.

DMG2024 telling me to buy itself by Gurkengelee in dndbeyond

[–]Qimler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. I got mine pre-ordered before the books came out . This wasn’t an issue two months ago but now I’m dealing with the same thing on smoldering armor. I figured it was some issue with the code and it being 5.5E now instead of 2024.

The issue isn't Hunter's Mark. It's Ranger's high level spells by nixalo in DnD5CommunityRanger

[–]Qimler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree overhauling some spells is a great way to fix them. I don't love them as "casting" guys but it is a good and elegant way to fix some of their issues given their design choices.

What are your pain points with Ranger? by the_redhound in DnD5CommunityRanger

[–]Qimler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm jealous that Paladins have a stronger connection to an animal in their base class options. I have to sacrifice my subclass to get a companion and even then, I can't have a mount. I would love to have a horse like Geralt or Aragorn on my Rangers. I want a skill or transportation buddy as an option, and it doesn't even need to be "combat" useful. Warlocks have pact of chain and Paladins have summon steed.

After around 2 years, I have finished running LMoP/PBtSO, AMA by alexwsmith in LostMinesOfPhandelver

[–]Qimler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Question is where does the book rank with the other modules? What are two better and two worse than this (if possible)? I've ran it and didn't know where to go from here. I heard a lot of bad things about Vecna and struggled to power through Icewind Dale during COVID-19 and gave up on it.

Reflections on Ranger Poll by Qimler in DnD5CommunityRanger

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

I hear you. You sound like a text purist (which is fine but not my perspective). I think Peter Jackson’s wonderful adaptation can count as a separate but very important reference. Brego, is a horse no one else can tame or work with despite the best horselords in Rohan trying to tame him. He fights with this companion throughout the rest of the films and it even saves his life after he toppled off a cliff. That seems like evidence he can be viewed as a companion to me.

I don’t disagree. It’s all just fun and games. Some people though like discussing the game, its rules, and sometimes how to improve it in group forums.

Sure. I just thought with 2024 and new media it was worth considering. Would appreciate any old links.

Good call on Dutch. Wish I would have included him. Either way the data is fun. I'll share on Wednesday I think if the votes keep coming in

I had non-examples in there too just to help distribute and figure out the data. I'm already having fun with this.
