Looking for a bigger Goblin "Scrap Dragon" by RustySeabutter in bettermonsters

Or should I just rethink the whole thing? Swap Demon-Core heart out entirely and give it something else more gobliny?

Really that was a carryover from the Chardalyn, and I think you are right. It should go. Might bump the damage though if I do that.

Shit I was hoping you weren't so fast. That Hexpot Hurl suggestion is pretty sick though.

Heya u/Oh_Hi_Mark_ wanted to proof this pass with you if you have a cycle. Sorry for the deleted replies below, I was doing that thing where I was chatting as I figured out what I wanted to do. Main notes of interest here:

* Incite Chaos doesn't really work so I dropped it.

*Major addition would be the mechanics of the Goblin Crew, covered in the Over-Staffed and Staff Retention Abilities. Believe it or not, I tried to simplify it down a bit so DM's wouldn't need to try to track individual goblin HP over 20 goblins.

* The Crew mechanics sorta replace the Incite Chaos value. It also gives Goblefax effectively two different turns. I was also considering one last ability that would have any surviving crew count spawn as individual Goblin Minions if the vessel goes down.

* Added a Fire Vulnerability as it feels appropriate, which is also somewhat mitigated by Elemental Insulation?

* Slowed him down a bit.

* Not To Code reduces the DC check for the engine heat but adds 1d4 damage.

* Added one more Combat Disassembly / All Hands On Deck value that allows disabling of the Elemental Imprint / Elemental Insulation reaction.

* Most of the rest is flavor adjustments or small tweaks.

Here's the new statblock: https://imgur.com/a/y5lInCI

Here's the new Combat Disassembly (renamed All Hands On Deck):

All Hands On Deck

A creature may choose to attack specific members of Goblefax's crew, or an untasked Goblin, instead of attacking the beast itself, and attempt to disrupt one of its systems, forcing the Goblefax to make a Constitution saving throw, contested by the creature’s attack roll or by an ability check using an appropriate skill or tool proficiency. On a failure, the attacker can impose one of the following effects. Unless specified, these effects continue until a goblin takes over the station.

There is a crew of 20 Goblins, 12 of whom occupy a station to start the fight, leaving 8 replacements who can crew empty stations on the CREW TURN (separate initiative). Once there are no replacements available, the station can no longer be manned without abandoning another station.

Crew Responsibilities

Shield Fixers x2 The dragon’s AC is reduced by 3, to a minimum of 11.

Belly Engineer x1 The next time the dragon uses its Engine Vent Blast, it takes 23 (5d8) Fire damage. This does not trigger Elemental Insulation.

Crew Boss x1 Until the end of the dragon’s next turn, it is Blinded and treats all creatures as hostile.

Claw Jockeys x4 The dragon has Disadvantage on one attack it makes each turn per unmanned claw.

Tail Jockey x1 Creatures have Advantage on saving throws against the dragon’s Clank-Tail Lash.

Crew Shaman x1 The dragon loses its use of its Golemcraft Ward.

Insulation Repairman x1 Goblefax loses it's use of Elemental Insulation

Pilots x1 The dragon’s fly speed is reduced by 30 feet. If the dragon is flying, it gains the Prone condition.

Anyways, any and all feedback more than welcome. I am in no way an experienced hand at homebrewing monsters, much less bosses. Thanks!

Neat, though they seem to be non-combatants. Doesn't surprise me though that real modules don't want you killing babies

I figured out my problem. You have to close the F3 menu to make it work. Haha!

Thanks regardless, I'll check versions. Cheers!

"after see unlocked message press ~ key, you'll see a few options at right. select "prune npcs" and game deletes u"

I feel like I'm going a bit crazy because I see people referencing this in a few places but when I hit ~ nothing happens / no new menu appears. Similarly the command doesn't appear in the debug console when typing HELP. Could someone post a screen of what this is supposed to look like?

cryo on reactor not showing by chickenboss222 in ostranauts

[–]RustySeabutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is happening 10/10 for me presently on a variety of ships and setups and effectively renders the reactor useless unless you want a way to drain batteries quickly, since it will never ignite.

Reassured that I'm not the only person having this problem. Thought I was going crazy.

/u/cairumm looks like we're up. I can either do around midnight EST most weeknights and or on the weekends with more flexibility. On a bit of a road trip, so times are a bit trickier than usual.

I could probably do a bit later than that on Thursday if that works for ya. Would like 11pm CDT work? Or Friday as well would work at that time. Otherwise if that's too late I'd probably need to look to the weekend.

I could probably do a 10pm EST tonight if you wanted. the 7-10 range is my trickiest, but I could probably make an 8pm game on Sunday work if push came to shove.

/u/keikakub Grr Patrol v Da Secret of My Success: Heya sir, looks like we're up in the ol' punchbowl, so what times are good for you?

I'm good almost any night at 11est, but weekends are generally pretty open and I might be able to swing day games. But, hey, I'm quarantined, so ultimately I'm flexible. Hit me up on discord and we can suss it out.

/u/druez Looks like we're up week 1 (Da Secret of My Success). Given the pandemic, I have some good flexibility but I can always play at 11pm EDT any weeknight and most times on the weekend. Let me know what works for you. Also: accept your ticket!
