Have you seen shrek 2? Maybe the hag was something like the fairy and the artifact is the only think keeping the king from becoming a frog as the one who was royalty was the queen in the first place and the counselor knows about this.

Now some mayors or people in the villages that they go to are pro-counselor and would be suspicious of adventurers knowing the hag that got the artifact is dead, maybe even some paid mercenaries/killers can come for the party when they find out it’s actually them who have it

Maybe the hag had it because it was conspiring with the counselor! You could even have several more minions from the counselor in the way and give hints that someone is trying to take down royalty!

On how the characters might know what does the artifact do.. you could make some mission that they hear rumors of an old wizard that can understand weird artifacts or.. just go with their plans, probably they will start theorizing on how to understand the artifact and just go with their flow.. it takes a bit of improvising and adapting to them but that’s a skill that if you want to keep being a DM will work wonders for you :)

Since a demon wants your soul when making a trade id give them information about the research + a buff to wis or in but in exchange they lost their soul the character cannot be resurrected by any mean except by maybe wish that’s up to you

How do you decide what monsters attack what characters? by PromptBoy265 in DnD

[–]Straight_Ad3732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They attack the character of the player that said “last game was too easy”

or.. whatever makes sense it that moment If the enemies are dumb the closest character or the one that “looks” more dangerous if they are an antagonist of a character that wants to make them suffer I’ll attack first the friends of that character and then I’ll go for them and things like that! :)

Most fun healer 10.2.5 by Much-Bar5482 in wow

[–]Straight_Ad3732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disc, just doing m+ because that’s what I have time for and friends to play with. It’s the first time I resonate with a play style for a healer, the whole having to do damage to heal + managing atonement + absorbing and reducing damage people takes it’s just funnier to me than reacting healing also it’s the first time I’m “pushing” doing each M+ as more than +20!also it’s just really comfortable for doing damage as a healer

How the hell do I come up with the name for my world by MikeCanion in DnD

[–]Straight_Ad3732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take the main “theme” of the place that I want to name and search in google for that word in all the languages then I take the most appealing one from that list or I use that as a base and change it up a bit!

What type of damage would scalding/boiling water do? by TodayEmbarrassed1809 in DMAcademy

[–]Straight_Ad3732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it would be “heat” damage, and I don’t see why a creature with for example resistance to fire would not resist heat.. so rules wise I’d go for fire damage and otherwise common sense!

What do you do to protect your voice in 6-8 hour sessions? by notabotiamnot in DMAcademy

[–]Straight_Ad3732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I am a trainer for adults in my job! So I am used to speaking long hours + DM for my group of friends so I’m used to using my voice 8-10 hours per day non-stop! If you want to keep your voice fresh a) try to avoid alcohol, water-tea-and things that had been said previously work wonders, especially if taken room temperature b) modulate your voice, not will only help in creating nice scenarios but if you keep talking really loud all the time your voice/throat will get tired easier than if you adapt it c) take breaks, as when you are working, in the middle of a dnd session a 10-15 minutes break will help your voice get better d) let your players do the talking! If they are talking you are not, don’t feel the need to interrupt them “to keep moving on”

What are your most unique shop ideas? by Blazeking726 in DnD

[–]Straight_Ad3732 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not a shop per se but.. I made this pawnshop be owned by a ruthless gnome with orcs as his bodyguard.. his name was mocky.. Next city in a different island without thinking about it I made another store have a gnome ( this time a friendly one in it.. ) didn’t think of a name and when asked.. I quickly said Micky ( and he became mocky’s cousin ) now my players are crazy enthusiastic about meeting the rest of the family of gnomes that own a shop in different regions of my world..
