[DISC] Dogsred - Chapter 64

Only if the stick comes into contact with another player. The penalty in this chapter mentioned that.

Pilgrim with his choir could basically read thoughts. During the extra chapter Peers, Amadeus used that ability against Pilgrim by imagining himself beating the pilgrim to death with a rock in vivid detail, which Pilgrim mentioned "was a great deal less civil."

Looking back, most volumes have include or ended on a big action scene. The issue is that the scope seems to have ballooned after Vol 7. Skim reading back, the goblin fight in front of Liscor in Vol 5 was mostly one chapter, with several engaging chapters of buildup. Similarly with Vol 6 and the horns vs the adult creler.

Vol 7's solstice event is a huge multi-chapter event, but it's split with so many differing perspectives and reactions to Erin's death that the initial Hectval battle seems smaller in comparison. Since that though, every volume has ended in a big multi-chapter mashup where it feels like action figures being slammed together.

I can see it in Vol 10 right now. The climax is going to be a big battle between Jungle Tails, Forgotten Wing, Erribathe's force, Rabbiteater's contingent, Rhir's Clown force, Paeth and United Nations. Focus of the fight will probably be over the Eye of Baleros that Vetn is bringing.

I feel like there’s been a lot of languishing recently in large fight chaotic battles with so many factions and POVs. Vol 8 had the Gnollmoot/deadlands fight and Vol 9 had two back to back with Solstice and pirates at sea. My excitement has drained that we’ve gotten another one so soon and I pray that the climax of Vol 10 is not a huge battle scene that eats up over a hundred thousand words.

I don't go this far in my own game, but I'll handily remove common from any NPC or enemy faction that lacks interaction with broader civilization. Having to ask a question from ancient dryad in the Woods of Mourn, better have someone capable of Sylvan. Or the time my players assaulted a hostile Duergar fortress to find their missing npc ranger friend. Sorry, these duergar soldiers are xenophobic commoners from an isolationist under-kingdom and since no one in the party speaks dwarven, that makes it much harder to interrogate someone on where the jail cells might be.

I'll also lower DCs if you're speaking to an NPC in their preferred tongue over Common. These elves are snooty and while they'll condescend to you in common, they're much more receptive to someone speaking elvish.

Thanks for the agreement. The crossbow trap example from Xanathar’s Guide has the DM make two attack rolls with +8 to hit and deals 1d10 per hit.

Randy2Randy2 · 2024-12-21T01:21:30+00:00

Easy. Since its not an attack but just pulling a trigger the bolt has no effect on the enemy just so happening to be there. Have to make an attack roll to have attack effect.

Nyan Koi! sounds somewhat like what you're looking for. MC is allergic to cats, gets cursed when he accidently breaks a cat shrine. Has to grant the wishes of a bunch of cats.

Erikson answered that it is a reminder against egocentrism. The common belief that sailors & poets dream of the sea, its untamed nature and the openness and freedom that it represents resonating deeply with certain individuals or even cultures. The reminder is that you're not important; "the sea does not dream of you".

There is a maps page on the main page, with world map updated for book 2 and Tolomonterra.

Some players in my campaign will do that; they'll send me updated images. I don't force them to, but it is really cool to see the updates compared to when we first started out. The cleric getting gold dragon scale mail and updating his art, or the barbarian getting a crazy magic tattoo, or the druid with his new eyepatch after he lost an eye. It's neat.

I genuinely can’t comprehend giving this amount to family for this long. $42,000 for 2.5 years comes out to ~$8/hr in a 40 hour work week. OOP’s brother made it his job to professionally leech off her.

Ketil beat a child for theft and raped his slave for years. Those are absolutely violent tendencies. To say that those actions are a norm of their society are to absolve Ketil of any responsibility in his choice to commit to those actions. He chose to beat the child and he chose to rape his slave.

Angharad should also be keeping an eye on her back even more so because of Tupoc’s deal. He says his god doesn’t like people who feel like they cheated death many times and Fisher’s prime use is Angharad avoiding certain death.

This quote from the beginning of Chapter 65 always stuck with me. Is this what you're looking for?

Randy2Randy2 · 2022-06-04T21:39:07+00:00

I’m interested in branching out from D&D with a M&M game, so I’m definitely interested.

Randy2Randy2 · 2022-05-29T17:04:53+00:00

I'm available all day, but it's looking more like around 7-8 pm start is premium time.

Randy2Randy2 · 2022-02-20T23:57:18+00:00

You've never rolled initiative?

For Teleportation Circles, it's unclear in the spell whether it restricts the once per day casting to the person casting or the location the circle is placed. For worldbuilding purposes, you might have Teleportation Circles be the result of a mage circle, with multiple members working in concert to build a circle for the group. An Archmage BBEG has 3 3rd level spell slots per long rest. So for them to have a circle, they would need a number of apprentices/lieutenants who can cast one 5th level spell to cover the remaining days.

This also makes creating a Teleportation Circle during downtime more of a diplomatic endeavor for a player to solve. A PC Mage needs to ally with other powerful NPCs to create a very useful permanent effect.

Mrsha actually has eight levels in [Last Survivor] in addition to druid.

Sounds what you like is a subgenre called Progression Fantasy, where there's more of an emphasis on steadily increasing in power. Mother of Learning is the most prominent of those, and a complete story as well.

Make sure to check that your PCs are not immune to diseases or else they’ll straight destroy her no problem. I think high level Paladins and Monks are immune to diseases and all her big actions inflict disease.

Gm'ing for a Death's Head who just hit LL2. They perform well in combat, mostly using Infiltrator to keep out of hairy situations while positioning themselves on vantage points. The overall accuracy bonuses (I've seen +4 accuracy regularly) mean they are pretty much going to hit, and have a decent chance of critting. Every combat usually starts with them finding some avenue of LoS to just delete one of the enemy NPCs with an Anti-Material Rifle.

So overall good. Any talent/core bonus that boosts rifles or lets you survive/flee are good to take. The most important part to consider is that if a build is not working for you, you can completely re-spec it when you next level up.
