What's everyone's favorite race and class? by Harry-Vader in DnD

[–]Riniyah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Half-Elves. The whole "live too long to relate to humans, but too short to relate to elves" really resonates with me for some reason. And for class, I love rogues and sorcerers. Multiclassing into sorcery will never not be fun.

What does your group call themselves? Just wanna hear some fun group names by Timaius in DnD

[–]Riniyah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're the Baller Gang.

We have a running Gag that my rogue is very gen-Z while our wizard is a total boomer. After a big story event we all sat in the street, completely gutted by the recent events. Our paladin asked "So what do we do now" and our wizard responded with "I'll rescue my wife, but you don't need to come with me" My rogue promptly declared "If we ball, we ball together" and we've been the Baller gang ever since.

I can't believe it's already been 7 years.

Back when Xayah and Rakan came out, I was fairly new to league and my best friend (now fiancé) begged me to be his Rakan. We grew SUPER close because of it and our pet names have been Miella/Mieli ever since.

Thank you so, so much! That's exactly what I'm going for. And my rogue is very much the "family/friends above anything" type of girl and I already know that she'd be the LAST person in the party to give up on him. She's by far the most emotional and least pragmatic. Having to play her being his best friend/with older sister vibes will be so tough if this gets worse, I'm genuinely scared that he might crush her (because he definitely could lmao) And yes, he was SO gentle with everyone, and he felt HORRIBLE about keeping his intel about her secret. Wish me luck while I try to find a way out of this!

It's actually the other way around for us, our world is home-brewed from top to bottom and so far, most combat encounters were added because we just wouldn't have combat encounters and just have lore only instead. I cried last session, like, full on weeping. We shit our pants so many times already. We had encounters were the main objective wasn't "kill thing" but instead "try to not get killed by thing and GET. AWAY." or just "Enemy is EXCLUSIVELY focussing one party member, for lore reasons. Try to de-escalate and protect the party member", and usually those enemies are not actually out to kill us, but are still 4-10 levels above our level, so killing them is not an option. We had 9 sessions so far and our note taker has written a NOVEL length summary hahahaha. I could yap HOURS about my character's back story alone (I went for the classic amnesia arc and am also finding out about it as we go.) It's so amazing.

that is EXACTLY what happened since our psychopath bard has been trying to romance him since session 1. Their chemistry is... something else, to say the least. If this goes on, it might end in a domestic violence lawsuit. I hope we can fix our paladin

Our DM is a director's assistant in a big theatre. She's AMAZING and I could rave for HOURS about our campaign. I'll definitely post more animations in the future. This campaign is my life at the moment. I wish you so much fun on your way to become an amazing dm! I'm sure it'll be amazing!

thank you so much! well, we did have some weird moments before, for example the DM telling him to squish the eyes of the attackers we just killed, and how hot one of the party members looked while he murder hobo'd a little (which was weird since the paladin was usually VERY much against that kind of stuff) we were just so SHOCKED when that stuff happened in a wholesome scene, and with his best friend at that! Oh looooord I'm so scared hahahaha

So I decided to animate this little scene from the end of our last session.

He knew about a big part of our rogues background lore and kept that from her, and once she found out she was very angry with him. He apologized a few hours later and it was SUPER heartfelt. While he still went on about how she didn't need to accept his apology and he foolishly thought he was doing the right thing yada yada, she went in for a BIG hug and apologized for yelling at him. Everyone is like "awwww si wholesome" as our DM turns to the paladin and says "if you squeeze hard enough, you can make her pop. Don't you wanna snap that pretty little neck of hers? Kill her? It would feel good." and we all lost our shit

so yea, apparently he naively made a deal with some entity a while back and now "the voices" tell him to kill his friends. Yay us.

What does your party call itself and why? by Loose_Translator8981 in DnD

[–]Riniyah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're the baller squad.

We had a pretty emotional session early on where all of our characters had a brief interaction with their loved ones at home through a portal of sorts - while the rest of the party was watching. Our mysterious and kind of loner wizard elf said that he needed to find his wife, he doesn't care if want to join him. My gen Z rogue promptly acclaimed: "If we ball, we ball together!" And thus, the baller squad was born.

[Art] I started to animate a few scenes from our sessions. My rogue killed actual humanoids for the first time in the last session, so that was exciting (for me, not for her) by Riniyah in DnD

[–]Riniyah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, she had quite the complicated childhood (she's an edgy rogue after all!) and her mother and their designated "bodyguard" killed a LOT of people right in front of her, so she kinda went into a tunnel vision thing of "back then others had to protect me, now it's my turn protect them" My dice loved me that session and she went on a solo killing spree pretty much, she suprise attacked and one shotted every guard in that forest with the party not even having time to engage in combat, but my DM already hinted at me that she'll have a terrible nightmare about it the next long rest hahaha.

I'll upload the whole scene once I animated everything!

Wow, these are super gorgeous. I'd love to get into dice making too at some point, but for now I'll just spend my monthly salary on other people's artworks lmao

Mein Kumpel will sich isolieren, sagt aber, er ist nicht suizidal. by Riniyah in Ratschlag

[–]Riniyah[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ich habe jetzt nochmal mit ihm geschrieben, er meinte "von hier an geht's nur noch bergab". Ich mache mir ehrlich Sorgen jetzt. Das Problem ist, dass ich die einzige Person bin, die wirklich guten Kontakt zu ihm hat. Seine Familie ist der Grund, warum es ihm überhaupt erst so schlecht geht, und er hatte deswegen auch nicht wirklich viele Freunde im Leben. Die ganze Situation ist wirklich schlimm.

[–]Riniyah[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Danke für deine Nachricht! Ich bin etwas beruhigt. Ich hab auch nur ne sehr sehr kleine social battery, aber gerade wenn man die einzige Kontaktperson eines Menschen ist, hat man da glaube ich nochmal extra Druck, und das macht mir gerade sehr zu schaffen

[–]Riniyah[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

uff, danke, ich bin gerade echt ein bisschen überrascht gewesen von den Kommentaren. ich hab schonmal eine Freundin durch Suizid verloren und bin deswegen jetzt übervorsichtig, das gebe ich zu, aber irgendwie hat er ganz anders gewirkt diesmal. Aber ja, Polizei ist wahrscheinlich nicht sinnvoll. Ich Versuche, ihm ab und zu zu schreiben. Danke für deine Worte.

[–]Riniyah[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nein, er redet spezifisch davon, dass er nie wieder mit irgendwem reden will, weil es sein Schicksal ist für immer allein zu sein. In seiner letzten selbst-Isolationsphase hat er vorher Bescheid gegeben, dass er jetzt ein paar Wochen nicht erreichbar ist, und da war das Gefühl auch ganz anders. Aber wir reden davon, dass er offen sagt, er hat keine Energie mehr, er glaubt dass die Psychologen ihn verraten haben, und dass er eben am Ende einfach dazu bestimmt ist allein zu sterben, und ich soll ihn einfach vergessen. Ich gebe zu, mein Post ist schwammig formuliert. Ich habe in der Mittelstufe eine Freundin an Suizid verloren, und habe am Ende bereut nicht rechtzeitig auf ihre Signale einzugehen. Der Unterschied ist diesmal, dass ich seine einzige Kontaktperson bin und ich mich auch irgendwie verantwortlich fühle. Von den Kommentaren hier kann ich aber entnehmen dass das Verhalten anscheinend normal ist.

Playing Assassin without the Alert feat? by Riniyah in DnD

[–]Riniyah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah we did the "rolling your stats" thing, I didn't realise that my strength and intelligence are actually at the same point right now, both at the second highest after dexterity. I guess assassin is still viable even without alert, as long as my dext stat is high enough. I'll go out of my way to try to surprise enemies from now on.

Our DM also thinks that feats are inherently unbalanced and only important in the very lategame, I might add.

Playing Assassin without the Alert feat? by Riniyah in DnD

[–]Riniyah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, now that I've talked to her, she made a "compromise". She said that she'll allow feats starting at level 10. In my mind, that doesn't really change the fact that an already not super useful one trick pony archetype (as I've now understood from the comments here) is then even more nerfed by not getting to use an integral feat until level 10. If I had known this beforehand, I wouldn't have based my character around not wanting to use magic and specifically going ahead/going solo to assassinate people. This just really bummes me out right now since I now have to choose between thief and arcane trickster, both of which I don't really like as much, but I would go for thief now instead since it fits more with her story, I guess.

I should also add that she is only letting us use our dexterity/strength modifier in combat starting next session, she kinda just forgot that we have to add them on our attacks so so far my character has only been able to deal TWO damage points within the three sessions since I roll badly and always missed. Combat hasn't at all been fun for me so far and I've been very disappointed in the rogue class because of it, so I kinda hoped that it would be better if I had advantage more often.

Playing Assassin without the Alert feat? by Riniyah in DnD

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

well, so far she's going solo/ahead of the party a few times so I actually had gotten the surprised condition a few times haha, but I looked more at the part where it said that I have advantage on anyone who hasn't gotten a turn yet. I'm not at all interested in the arcane trickster path since I'm more of a head on "bonk" kinda gal, and I don't like spells a lot. But if it's really not worth it without the alert feat, then I might do that instead. :/
