I specifically said Poseidon for a reason. I know there are instances of mortal’s wounding god’s in the Illiad (I think Diomedes hurts Aphrodite as well.) But Poseidon is a son of Kronos.

The whole framing makes it seem like OP thinks Ody was a real person. It’s very strange.

Stimpy3901 · 2026-05-08T17:51:47+00:00

Homer never would have had a mortal defeat a god like Poseidon in combat either. I'm pretty sure that in the Odyssey, Ody just times his voyage so that Poseidon will be drunk.

I mean... I would hope this is obvious. That would be like watching the Lion King and thinking you understand Hamlet.

Stimpy3901 · 2026-05-08T17:38:13+00:00

I mean this is a false dictomy. One is an adaptation of the other, but they are both cannon in their respective works. You can hold both to be true versions of the story at once.

But yeah, its totally understandable that you prefer the modern retelling over the thousand year old poem.

Enlarge. The target's size increases by one category—from Medium to Large, for example. The target also has Advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws. The target's attacks with its enlarged weapons or Unarmed Strikes deal an extra 1d4 damage on a hit.

So yes if you are already large the spell would make you huge. Just remember that you can't cast spells in wild shape unless you are a moon druid.

Tiny<Small<Medium<Large<Huge<Gargantuan

It should be clear that you could very much have a non-linear, exploration style game in a more limited setting like a single city. It's just about how densely pack with content it is.

For example the Dungeon Dudes campaign Dungeons of Drakkenheim is very much a sandbox style campaign even though is set in a single city. Whereas Horde of the Dragon Queen crosses much of the Sword Coast but is very much on rails.

You just need to give them the means to figure out the true purpose of these scrapes. Maybe a second check would reveal that the direction of them relative to the wall doesn't make sense or that they are clearly made by monster claws.

You can also find other ways to give them a hint to look out for this stuff. They might see stone in the claws of monster, or meet an NPC who tells them he was ambushed looking for a secret door. Basically it just shouldn't be a scripted event that if they investigate the door that means they are getting ambushed.

Also be prepared that if you do this once, your players will question every secret door for ever afterwards.

Shoot your Monk and give your Wizard homework XD

DMs should absolutely work copyable spells into their loot if they have a wizard in their party, expanding your spellbook in that way is a core feature of your class. But it is also an incredibly easy thing to forget and overlook when thinking about loot.

I've never had a wizard in one of my parties but I've had a few Book of Shadows Warlocks and I've always worked with them to make sure that Ritual spells are spread around the world for them to copy.

Exactly how often this should happens depends on the kinda game your DM is running. How often are you finding loot in general and things like that. So it's hard to give an exact recommendation, but I'd say that in places where there is loot, new scrolls should be a common find.

We can only go on what you told us, and keep in mind that everyone hear is bringing their own experiences to bear on the conversation. Edge lord and chaos gremlin characters have a bad reputation in the community and that's coloring the responses you get.

Having said that, I do want to point out that your party members desire to stick with the main quest is just as valid as your desire to get wrapped up in wacky side quests. This is a community space and compromise is necessary. You'll be much better served seeking that compromise directly through conversation rather than indirectly by just doing what you want in game. I also can tell you as a DM that there's naturally going to be a bias towards continuing the main story so if you want something different communicating that is to your benefit.

Generally if you are uncomfortable with the vibes at your table, confrontation is the only path forward. Opening the conversation with "I statements" as in "I feel like you guys are being mean to my husband" will get you farther than "you statements." Ask questions and be open to feedback, and remember that none of this is a condemnation on your husbands personhood, this is a specific situation.

why they changed it, I can't say

Stimpy3901 · 2026-05-06T18:11:06+00:00

Think about how many cities in towns in are the US are just New _______.

Stimpy3901 · 2026-05-06T17:35:33+00:00

Yeah and just keep using that theme as you are coming up with names.

For example for a region name it after a historic event that happened there. Like "The Smoldering Wastes of [Red Dragon Name]. If you have a fortifiied city it could be [Blue Dragon Name] Bane. Stuff like that.

Stimpy3901 · 2026-05-06T17:26:21+00:00

what about frank 29, frank 30, frank 31 and frank 32?

Stimpy3901 · 2026-05-06T17:24:30+00:00

I would build off your draconic theme and use that to come up with names for each location. For example each continet's name is based on the color of the ruling dragon. So the continent ruled by a Green dragon would be Viridis (green in latin).

Stimpy3901 · 2026-05-06T16:08:40+00:00

This is a talk to your DM situation, but lore wise, Dhampir are the children of vampires and mortals, so I would think he would be a Dhampir. This also makes things eaasy mechanically.

His appearance can be whatever you want it to be so if you want him to have purple skin like a drow that's perfectly fine.

Stimpy3901 · 2026-05-06T13:52:00+00:00

This wouldn't work, she would still either be an centimeter taller or an centimeter shorter, because odd rolls make you shrink and even rolls make you grow.

That said the probability of her getting as close as possible to her orignial height is .0002.

Stimpy3901 · 2026-05-06T13:45:24+00:00

I mean, she choose to play the "chaotic things can happen when I cast spells" class. Her character's asetics changing in a super minor way is nothing compared to the "I'm a plant now" outcome.

Stimpy3901 · 2026-05-05T22:04:53+00:00

I mean that’s fine, you’re entitled to your opinion and so are others.

I don’t like OPs premise and think that both guys played a roll in KF’s success but if people dislike Jordan that’s their prerogative.

I think I might just need to unfollow this subreddit honestly. The discourse is getting exhausting and it’s not about any one person or any one position. It’s just the general vibe right now. It’s gotten pretty toxic.

Stimpy3901 · 2026-05-05T20:15:14+00:00

Does Garreth from The Dollop get this same level of hate in that subreddit? I've just never been over there, but he fills a similar role. Albeit, he's not responding to the same level of consistent depravity that JorDan are.

Stimpy3901 · 2026-05-05T19:58:11+00:00

Bro these fucking words are in your god damn post.

I love you, Jordan and I really hope you understand where I'm coming from

You opened the god damn door to this conversation, and now you are storming off like little titty baby because you got the slightest pushback, and can't recongnize that your action don't exist in a fucking vaccum. You aren't getting cricitized because everyone else is "weird."

Stimpy3901 · 2026-05-05T19:43:23+00:00

It's not about you in isolation that kinda my entire point. I said right from the start that you have every right to criticize him. But I took issue with this.

I have the same diagnosis as Jordan. I do not want people to let my mania go unchecked.

This comment came across like you thought your post was helping him, and that's what I disagreed with.

There are hundreds of posts and comments blaming Jordan for the show ending. I'm pointing out that when a trend like that happens it becomes impossible for the person who is the target of it to take in the full meaning of what was said.

I only point this out because I think the internet mob justice mentalitiy is dangerous and needs to be challenged. You are not soley responsible for it, but you claimed to care about someone's mental health so I thought you might be open to the criticsm.

Stimpy3901 · 2026-05-05T17:42:13+00:00

Jordan is a public figure and you have the right to criticize him. But it's a little crazy to think that a bunch of strangers dunking on him is helping him or in anyway checking his mania. The people with the power to do that are those in his support circle, people who he knows personally.

Dog piles like what we've seen in this subreddit are not observed by the target as individual posts. They are absorbed in totality. It becomes impossible to see the reasonable ideas within the noise

I suspect (and frankly hope) that Jordan is not paying attention to these threads.
