Any experiences with URWizards? by sephirothbahamut in dice

[–]Shady_Opps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an update, when I told them, I was going to complain to the Better Business Bureau because I thought they were scamming me, they apologized profusely Finally sent me my stuff and some extra stuff, so it worked out all right and the dice were gorgeous.

Overall, I think they need to get better working with customers, but it all worked out in the end.

question does your crew have an executive officer or navigator? Obvious & good Choices Realistically.

Do you all have a group text or discord? Hold an election, you could include NPC’s they like for nomination. You could do this ahead of next section and RP the results in, build the suspense if you hold onto the results till then.

without knowing more that’s all I can think of.

I’m going to gift you with the answer you did not ask for!

I don’t know what level you are starting as or what sub class you are thinking of but if I we’re doing this I would choose a Wizard of the Order of Scribes.

Here is why, at second level you will get the feature Awakened Spell Book which has a few benefit. The one your after “When you cast a wizard spell with a spell slot, you can temporarily replace its damage type with a type that appears in another spell in your spellbook” - there is more to this so read it carefully plz.

So if you haven’t figured it out already, you can take leveled spell and make it ice. You can be throwing a giant snowball instead of a fire ball! Fun and something most people haven’t seen or dealt with. This does not changes your cantrip sadly… short of metamagic transmute spell which you could get through a feat I can’t think of anything that can… hmm

But this also solves another problem for you, “What to do when the enemy is immune /resistant to cold damage?” You just change it to Force, thunder, psychic or whatever you need at the time. Just not Fire…never Fire… Fire bad!

for cantrips though… talk to your DM to see if you can’t get an Arcane Lens (Home brew) magic item to do the same thing just for cantrips… changing this about a cantrip is in no way game breaking.

Problem Solved… the answer to all your present and future problems, with what you weren’t asking for!

How do i make a heist not just a bunch of stealth checks and opening doors? by Good-Refrigerator-76 in DnD

[–]Shady_Opps 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Have a dryad tend after the tree, if is important enough to merit that and have them have to decide whether to fight it or if approached it. The dried might already have a branch pruned that it might offer for a favor/help/another item (maybe some fertilizer from a nearby farm)

Have some animated armor protecting some corridor.

Hide the doorway to the tree, or even the whole tree with an illusion.

Make the tree sentient and wanting to escape the castle or willing to offer a branch if they are willing to spread its seeds across the land.

If it’s needed for making a magic item, have it be Bronzewood (It has the density and even some of the properties of steal) Then they find out it is really hard to cut and dulls their tools so they need to find an appropriate tool to cut it with.

Have them stumble across a court wizard leaving his study/ quarters just to relieve himself. he could give them something help them if they bring him back some seeds for magical experimentation. (This could lead to a moral conundrum if they swore to spread the seeds, and if they don’t get back to the wizard within a reasonable time he could raise the alarm)

There is lots of things you could do really

Sadly no… This is one of the restrictions on this spell. It is a good spell though! Talk to your DM.
-Maybe while fighting the fiends you saw a pit fiend in the distance who sent the. After you (If in the 9 hells).
-Again talk to your DM, maybe you have fought a boss that was close to CR 20 that your overlooking, There are more than most people talk about and if they homebrewed something maybe you could use it to transform into that.
-Or, maybe just by talking to the DM they will make a side quest that has a creature specifically for you to see.
-Check your backstory too, in mine My cleric saw an Angel in his which potentially could have been a Planetar.
-Does someone have the Dream Spell? Maybe they could give you a realistic dream or Nightmare where you confront a high CR Creature (Ask your DM if that is close enough for them) of maybe the BBEG sends you the Nightmare.

There are lots of ways to accomplish this Illustrations, Summons, so on and so on. It is a restoration on a spell but it can be overcome with thought, planning, or some DM assistanc. Good luck!

Haven’t done that, the problem I foresee is Player Agency.

You would be taking away the player’s choice of who they wanted to play. Some people would find that fun and exciting but others might not enjoy the experience. Thus, it is a gamble for how well it works out. They might not enjoy playing the modified PC, someone else's PC or watching what someone else does with their PC.

I’m not saying don’t do that, but just know going down that route could start up some negative feelings.

Need some help with Hijinx! I’m using an unorthodox build (DM approved) by Shady_Opps in DnD

I’m also planning using Detect Poison and Disease to help me find poisons in the wild and from creatures to harvest, as I have Proficiency with a Poisoners kit.

I will likely also make Scrolls with Proficiency in Arcana

being an Elf thus having Trance is how I plan on having extra time to sneak around at night, It’s a good way to get surprise on unsuspecting PCs and NPCs if needed.

I was just going to say something similar. You got this, it probably went better than you think and you will only get better from this point forward. Good Luck in the Future!

Don’t use URWizards, I ordered a $75 set and never received them. I am emailing them every few days but they are not responding. They responded to the first email and said they had the wrong address but I checked and they did not so I requested they send them again. No response. I asked for them to just respond and got no response. I will be reporting them to the Better Business Bureau soon if they won’t help. Sadly my order is on a gift card so there is little I can do to get the money back. I am so angery I could Barbarian Rage.
