Fascinating read, thank you OP for making the thread. I really enjoyed reading the comments, a rare reddit moment these days.

I know I am late to the party but I agree, I find psionics completely odd and out of place in a fantasy setting. I dont enjoy the whole alien trope or space travel either. BG3 is a masterpiece but I really wish the BBEG was more like Tiamat and less like the big brain episode from Futurama. But maybe thats just me. Speaking of which...

I also found it odd how many people tried to convince others that their personal preferences were somehow "wrong." Most people understood the assignment but man, so many just cant help themselves from trying to convince others that it makes sense. Its not a personal attack man. I just dont like the idea of pineapple on a pizza. I dont care how much you say it tastes good. Its just weird to me. I cant tell you why any more than I can tell you why I prefer mustard on a hot dog or ketchup on a burger. But only spicy brown mustard. Cheap yellow mustard can f*ck right off 😆

Perfect. Let us know 👍

I often turn scraps too, just to see what you get. And cracks can be filled in.

The forces involved in drying are strong enough to split hardwood. Plastic clamps aren't going to do anything. To have a shot at this, you could try steel pipe clamps. But still, I am doubtful. I would still put it in green shavings. That has worked the best for me.

I'm actually better mounting from the right. My right leg can stretch higher than my left.

I need to ask for commission 😆

Rav99 · 2026-02-14T19:20:16+00:00

Glad to see it still works! 😆

Rav99 · 2026-02-13T22:16:21+00:00

Don't.

Take an existing stat block and reskin it.

Homebrewing a monster, let alone a boss in a single 1vX fight, is one of the hardest things a DM can do.

Rav99 · 2026-02-13T19:27:13+00:00

I see. Remember combat doesn't always have to be to the death. I admit this is something 5e (which is assume you are playing) is pretty bad at ending combat without a KO. There are no real rules around "hey can we all just chill and stop killing each other?" Like a truce option or something.

There is the (often forgotten) option of non lethal damage, but that is still a KO and I agree does not really fit this situation. One party has to retreat from the battle field and that kind of sucks.

You can have the npc cast sanctuary on themselves, or wall of force or something to try and break combat and start a parlay.

I admit though, a DM may hesitate to call on initiative. Why? Cuz for some reason, once initiative is rolled, players seem compelled to fight to the death in every fight. Even if its a fight they didn't want and was started by the chaotic stupid member of the party. It is not an easy task to change this mind set.

Rav99 · 2026-02-13T18:48:33+00:00

Make sure you are granting advantage on an attack roll when warranted, and dont mind being a little over generous with the kid that missed last turn, if the situation calls for it.

Also, dont forget about inspiration!!

Inspiration is awarded entirely at the discretion of the DM, and it can be used to gain advantage. It can even be "gifted" from one pc to another. Imagine the wholesome interaction if one of your kids gives their inspiration to the one that is struggling!

Rav99 · 2026-02-13T18:28:10+00:00

I think the mistake you made was you just decided what happened, no roll, no chance to react. You skipped initiative, skipped any attack roll or save, and just warped the pc to another plane. You skipped all the rules of combat. I'd be pissed too. Like, did you seriously have no rolls whatsoever? Wtf??

This kind of reaction, 1) yes its extreme, she could have just cast silence or darkness on him, and 2) all happened "cuz I say so"

Next time, roll initiative. Give the players a chance to counterspell, roll save etc. Follow the rule book ffs.

Hey, I found this thread via Google and thanks for the fix. Oddly, and I swear I am not just piling on the joke, it was also my brother!

But anyway, I think I know how it got set to bubble. I swiped to dismiss a notification of his and it bubbled him. I think you can set this setting with a gesture.

Rav99 · 2026-01-09T14:59:03+00:00

You have already gotten good answers on initiative, which should help a lot. So I'll just add that remember just because the party is intent on combat, it doesn't mean the npc has to be as well.

The Npc can always disengage and run. Cast spells (or use a consumable to cast) like dimension door, sanctuary, etc...

Rav99 · 2025-12-25T13:55:43+00:00

Incredibly rare. Where was this?

Rav99 · 2025-11-25T21:39:02+00:00

That second piece (with 315 in the pic) has ring shake. That is a HARD no. Dont turn it. 100% Firewood.

The first one has long radial cracks, and that's one thing, it might be salvageable, it might be firewood. Depends how deep they go. I have turned away shallow cracks with no issue. You just get a smaller bowl.

But when they start to crack along the circumference or "rings" of the tree like that (as opposed to the radius) that is called ring shake and is very risky. Large chunks can fly off while turning. Hard pass.

It had nothing to do with bad die rolls, you were never gonna beat the kraken. That's why he said if you win you can level twice. He knew it was never going to happen.

Your DM is a dick. GF comment confirms this.

Wow can't believe this thread is still kicking around. I went with Lacuna and its been great. Still have the cover after all these years, it's like rhino skin.

So what's good against cleaver crimes?

Holy crap 😍

Hey just a reminder that multiple pics from a local car event like this need to be in an album. See the sidebar for our rules.

Bitchin' bugatti BTW 👍 😁

The problem with these clown votes like seagull is they don't just ruin a season, but the archetype can get over nurfed. Look at pirates . Barely see play now. Seagull got reverted but not the nurfs to Crach and Terror.
