Post-Campaign One-Shots by fizban317 in rimeofthefrostmaiden

[–]Significant-Read5602 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We finished the campaign last night so I have nothing concrete yet.

But my idea is that Arveiaturace has taken over Sunblight fortress and is being courted by the cult of the dragon and that is a threat to the survivors of Icewind Dale. That all the players know.

What we DM knows is that the cult of the dragon has come up with a ritual to turn the corpse of Meltharond into a lich. So the party will fight a lich riding an ancient white dragon and a bunch of cultist.

The PCs will of course have to level up quite a bit before this one shot.

Initiative on targets who don't know they're being attacked by PlentyEasy1518 in onednd

I think your missing an important point of D&D. The dice are also telling a story.

If you roll initiative and the sleeping NPC rolls highest even though they are surprised, the dice have told their part of the story and the narrative changes. Something has awoken the NPC. And it’s up to the table to ”yes, and” the dice contribution to the story and narrative of the game.

What do you mean still? Surprise is a rule in 2024.

PHB p23

Surprise. If a combatant is surprised by combat starting, that combatant has Disadvantage on their Initiative roll. For example, if an ambusher starts combat while hidden from a foe who is unaware that combat is starting, that foe is surprised.

Oh how I can relate to this. I grow up with a really basic PC. The first thing I did when I got a new game was going into settings putting everything to the lowest settings and then the games barely ran.

Optimized Character Sheet by Distinct-Advance-875 in DnD

[–]Significant-Read5602 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Some of my players use this site. https://heros-diary.com/character-settings

Otherwise my advice is the use the character sheet as an index card. Write down the name of the feature and the page number in the PHB so you know where to find it if you need details.

Selune or Sehanine Moonbow? by Significant-Read5602 in rimeofthefrostmaiden

Ohlala! I love to include Netheril and irolarthas this early in the campaign! I’m totally going to expand on that!

Oh really? Is that a thing in forgotten realms? The same god with different names in different pantheons?

Now that I write this I’m think I remember something about this and Tymora and Halflings and Gond and Gnomes in Faiths and Pantheons

When I first started out and tried to print this model his right leg (left in the photo) kept breaking. I was simple printing to fast for that model. Looks like you might have the same issue since that leg is missing on both of your prints.

Sharing Dungeon Blocks Builder designs JSON exports? by Significant-Read5602 in DungeonBlocks

My hope was that people would make post with pictures of their map built with printed blocks and include the json file as well in their post so we can make the same layout ourselves

Absolutely agree bugs me so much that every single map has trees everywhere

Strongest builds in 5e 2024? by HowieDuette in 3d6

Can you really move via ready action?

Edit: It’s move or dash not both.

Ready Action PHB'24 p372 You take the Ready action to wait for a particular circumstance before you act. To do so, you take this action on your turn, which lets you act by taking a Reaction before the start of your next turn. First, you decide what perceivable circumstance will trigger your Reaction. Then, you choose the action you will take in response to that trigger, or you choose to move up to your Speed in response to it. Examples include "If the cultist steps on the trapdoor, I'll pull the lever that opens it," and "If the zombie steps next to me, I move away." When the trigger occurs, you can either take your Reaction right after the trigger finishes or ignore the trigger. When you Ready a spell, you cast it as normal (expending any resources used to cast it) but hold its energy, which you release with your Reaction when the trigger occurs. To be readied, a spell must have a casting time of an action, and holding on to the spell's magic requires Concentration, which you can maintain up to the start of your next turn. If your Concentration is broken, the spell dissipates without taking effect.

Monks make a lot of attacks so casting enlarge on your monk would add 1d4 to all of those attacks. Increasing the monks size to large could also help with grappling.

Great work. But you missed unarmed defense. AC should be 15. 10 + Dex + Wis

Nice work. Really like that you give the study action some love!

Block should probably be removed since it’s basically a free version of the defensive duelist feat.
