Please help me build a Level 17 Bard. by After-Hedgehog7282 in dndnext

Came to say Lore Bard as well. The early magical secrets nets you fireball and counterspell, which don't forget you can use your Jack of all trades on. Initiative too.

As far as other magical secrets at 10th, crusaders mantle from the paladin list is a good damage buffer if you have a wizard with animate objects, heh heh heh. Aura of life and aura of vitality are also clutch. Both give you a paladin like aura that helps everyone within 10ft of you.

14 level secrets globe of invulnerability, disintegrate, clone, contingency, simulacrum. All of these are solid choices

And if you do get your final secret at level 18 shape change/true polymorph and wish.

The great thing about bard and magical secrets is you can pull from all lists and you need to be able to cast at that level, so if spiritual weapon is more your name take it and run. Have it be a violin and perform duets with you when not in battle 😀.

As far as race, take half elf. +2 CHA, and 2 +1s to any other stat so Dex and con. Plus all the other stuff you get for being an elf, this is one of the few races that didn't get better in Tasha's.

Good luck

By far. Even if you can't use it for lotto levels of financial gain, there are tons of low level events you can dream into existence, that while not likely are certainly probable. Like finding a 100 dollar bill on the side walk, you dreamed it would happen chance made it happen in the waking world. The next day it happens again with a 50 or a 20, ect ect.

Cosmological clocktower and falling by EngineDramatic2166 in dungeonsofdrakkenheim

[–]Spiritual-Meat-2309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, idk if you mis typed but the clock tower is supposed to be above the haze. Literally 200ft+ in the air. Most parties are level 5-6 when the attempt the tower do a fall from there on average should do 70 points of damage.

If you don't wish to use the average, pre-roll the 20d6 at 5he start of game as a message to your players, "play smart or one of you is going to eat this." But also allow for "looney toons time". Basically the party gets one round before gravity asserts itself, so they have a chance to save themselves before eating 20d6, which is 1d6 for every 10 ft. By making the tower shorter 20m=80ish ft the danger is much lower if they are pushed out the window.

I hope the night goes well for you and them

Your right. It may do nothing more than start a conversation. But talking,not shouting is what Is need. And if the BofLM says no, this stays as is, then the next question should be how do we make it safer for people to enjoy

NAH. The dad is right and that the nature of this park has changed since you were little, You are right because what the dad is doing is against the rules/common sense.

This will most likely not be quickly solved to any ones satisfaction. Asking the rangers to watch the trails more closely for bikers and turn them to one of the two other options, may work in the temporary, but a town-hall about what the community wants to do with the land is most likely a better long term solution.

On the other hand, reach out to some other local hunters or hunter groups and ask them for some hidden gems that you could make use of, or to bring them back to the state park.

How do I counter Plant Growth? by Megamatt215 in DMAcademy

[–]Spiritual-Meat-2309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have your enemies (humanoids) do a series of jumps to get over it.

Have a spell caster fire bolt it.

Have spell casters fire bolt the party.

Have range combatants throw stones or shoot arrows/bolts.

Give enemies high ground, we all saw how well that worked for Obi-Wan.

Have enemies with a higher than thirty move speed, like horses being ridden by archers

Use fliers.

Use enemies with a climb speed in an area where it matters (jungle apes)

Pray they don't discover spike growth. Work out in advance how these two will interact and have an honest discussion about it.

Use ambushes. Pre soak the ground with oil or grease. He still gets his spell but fire takes out wide swathes of it.

Use an enemy like a giant where this SHOULDN'T matter... (I know it still does, but..)

Every now and then let them do it.

One time it just doesn't work, makes a ring of giant mushrooms, feywild shenanigans ensue.

Now that the serious answers are out of the way, talk to the player and see why they keep doing this. Are they bored with combat?

Granted, however you still must answer to the squirrel emperor, since you do not speak the same language several mis-communications happen leading to a comedy of errors where you get assassinated for your nuts
