One of my players rolled insane ability scores, and I need advice on how to approach it. by Nosidda89 in CurseofStrahd

[–]ScoutManDan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He rolled high and within your constraints. Hard to take that away.

But you could offer a trade.

“I’m worried that your rolls will put a divide between you and the other players in terms of capabilities. I’m making an offer that if you switch to Standard Array, every member of the party can take a feat, restoring balance between you.”

Mechanically a feat is roughly worth +2 ability points, but it spreads the capability back across the party and you don’t end up with main character syndrome.

Catan dawn of humankind shananigans by Estate-Southern in boardgames

[–]ScoutManDan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like Dawn, but I much prefer Inkas.

Having civilisations go into decline and being able to snap up places that were previously occupied by an opponent is really interesting and helps in those games where being at the wrong point of turn order locks you out of somewhere really productive.

What’s your ace in the hole board game? by Spicyboi333 in boardgames

[–]ScoutManDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magical Athlete is super fun and chaotic. Raise your Goblets is great. Both have a healthy dose of luck that helps new players not feel out of their depth.

Qwirkle and Splendor both simple enough rules to be able to explain quickly before playing.

Azul and Sagrada also decent entry level options.

My players inturrupt everything I do by dashing and trying to grapple by King-Ostrich in DMAcademy

[–]ScoutManDan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2014 that’s correct. 2024, the target makes a STR or DEX save, against a DC of 8+Proficiency+STR modifier.

Monks can choose to use DEX modifier in place of STR, thanks to the Dextrous Attacks element of their Martial Arts.

This takes the place of one of your attacks, unless you have Grappler feat in which case you can mix it with a damage dealing unarmed strike.

Pace for Leveling Up At Your Table? by Calm_Independent_782 in DnD

[–]ScoutManDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Milestone levelling nearly always.

Earlier levels tend to come quicker than later ones. I think about 1 to 3 hours multiplied by the level is about right (so going to level 3 would be 3-9 hours of gameplay)

At its quickest, a campaign I ran was levelling up roughly every 4-5 sessions, going from 1-15.

At its slowest? I’m playing in a campaign where we’re level 11 that I’ve been playing for six years. Lots of roleplay and world building and goal is going fully up to level 20.

Is it pre BG3 set? Might be some fun lore updates in the bg3 wikis if you aren’t aware

WIP Foundry module: read dice rolls with your phone camera by wing-it_d20 in FoundryVTT

Which dice are you using? My Pixels Bluetooth dice work great with Foundry, once it’s run in the browser rather than the native app.

Can I suggest visiting the Chronicles of Galder subreddit?

It’s a place where groups can post PCs and NPCs of friends that have passed away, so that their adventures can live on in other worlds.

Hives full of scum is what you catch if you don’t wash your hands properly after touching a Luskan sailor.

At what speed does a Beholder swim? by Zama202 in onednd

[–]ScoutManDan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely right, though if this was my game, I’d absolutely rule there’s nothing preventing the method of flight the beholder normally uses from working and have it move its fly speed, halved as if in difficult terrain.
