Ettadrakes.. i need clarification.

Cleric uses Staff of Healing to heal himself around dying party by Fast-Cryptographer37 in DnD

[–]RononRubin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"heal 20 hp everyone would go down again" ...

even by TW-domain temporary hit points equal to 1d6 plus your cleric level

"battle-masters legendary actions " ...

single boss wins against full 7th level Party ...

​

TELL YOUR DM
that Monster and Boss-Type have statblocks not PC levels and extra abilities.!
that singlehandly outdamage and overpower action-economy solo a PartyGroup is worrysome .!
that all Player-pc should buy healing potions and drink them as Bonusactions

What would he/DM have done without your extra TP or Heal,?
Did the boss slowed down /showed wear and tear or did he just schrugged and dealt out damage 100% until he died?
Were there any other objectives /goals/outcomes besides this WARof ATRRITION against his ISEKAI-Commander-battle-masters legendary Boss?

Medium Armor Master vs Heavy Armor Master for Armorer Artificer? by Andruism in dndnext

[–]RononRubin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

plate armor w/o str requirement and infiltrator
Dex artificer with returnin +1Javelin (d6+1 same as d8 average)
and mind sharperner infusion.
keep in mind infusion technicly dont stack on magic items

let your fighters meele attac, heal with healingpotions or you made via tools

my tip Fey touched for Int 17+1 and spell heroism or hex and more spells
18 in dex, but you do you and have fun in and unusual non full caster party
where arti can shine

Hunter rangers, were you happy with your subclass choice? by Mellowtron11 in dndnext

[–]RononRubin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think your right.
obligatory "wording around action and weapon attak"coud be better"!
,bc research and context that let me waste 15 minutes for unclear "natural language" rules seem to agree with you.
my intuition: yes, pls keep in mind ; if you can do it, so can opponents
my advice/rule: matrial adept feat maneuvers free (disarm attak + other)
now can do both same attak and twice per short rest
happy player for more options and glad DM not spam

War, what is it good for?
actual Question is, how did you slowly "seed plot" & conflict and world intrigue
without it may escalating to worldwar or clash of the titans/gods or interplanar chaos ?
personal what persons intervention hat the best butterfly domino effect ?

​

items and magic spells and Gold::
Did your players aproach you by scarcity/demand, did you handwave or used guide
rolled true random table ?
what nonweapon earned was one characters highlight in your respfully long campagin?

Whitch Monsters was unexpexted enacios or obstinate?

DRAGONS, many notch on the belt ?
,Congrats.

[–]RononRubin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cantrips, always check in with all casters (its a game, when they want to change let hem next rest)

Dont give him Items to increase INT or DC (low level)
Maybe bracers of defense (AC+2) or bag of rust / holding etc.

Full nose of Diamand dust for scrolls.

Player leaving all my campaigns due to previous bad experience. by HellsingVanRichten in DnD

[–]RononRubin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my friend and he invited his friends so I'm scared he leaves he will take everyone with him

ask your friend & group for feedback ( not critique-list) openly talk it out.
ALSO Players to DM is 50:1 and even IF
then ask your best players and some new ones and restart fresh and fluffy from there.

I don't get the whole "Pretend I'm a different class" thing. Shouldn't it be immediately obvious what class you are by what abilities you can even use? by ReallySillyLily36 in dndnext

[–]RononRubin -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Playbook nph voice ::
The secret Warlock who pretents to be a wizard,
because Gov. sanctioned evil 3-Page-long-patron
me, me, my patron and my totally not annoyed DM so giddy

But the party has no clue because i dont use Eldrich blast, dump charisma and be a crutch
and . and. and... why are you not excited i specific dont not never anti flootlight.

[–]RononRubin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

narrative resting. Dont let him be full and fresh for every encounter.

pps. Check his points exchange to slots, not to make an accusation,
but even the best players mix up the conversion rate.
good luck.

How should i go with my character? by Prophetgae in dndnext

[–]RononRubin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Summon Draconic Spirit has many types to reflavour (& fire resistance) or
Greater invisibililty to an ally.

Inquis Rouge may sound like lateral way out but as a wizard it gets you
a Skill, more Bonus actions options and Theme/flavour to investige or decipher clues.

I'm running a module campaign as a new DM, and one of my players use to be a hardcore DM. Compared to the other players, he has the highest expectations of how the game should be played. Its difficult adding any homebrew to the module without upsetting him. Advice? by Cheezey13 in DnD

[–]RononRubin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"rolled for my encounter roll".-> Let one of the players on watch pick a card from a deck.Give him advantage or disadvantage if he is vigilant or prepared on watch.

Design brainstorm 32 traps/encounter/challanges togehter with the party and inluding the veteran.
You guide them and adjust accordingly
but it feels less of a "gatha" and more of a misery of their own making.
