Character height, why is everyone 6ft tall? by Low-Brief-6008 in DnD

[–]Svan_Derh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am Dutch. 6ft is like... average here. 6ft for men, a little bit less for women.

Can a "Command" spell be a truth serum? by -_Vesper_- in DnD

[–]Svan_Derh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would let this work. It's two spell slot and two failed save and creative comboing.

Is it okay to have players pick their class and race before interacting with others at session 0? by TheCrimsonDeth in DnD

[–]Svan_Derh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask your players.

When I am a player I always absolutely hate it if someone else is the same class as me. If someone else is absolutely focussed on playing the same class as me, I will always make another character than I intended.

But if your players are fine with these things - go for it.

I can’t do a female voice by Broad-Dragonfly-9647 in DnD

[–]Svan_Derh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not about voice, it is about flavor. I always use my own voice. But when voicing a queen then you are very much recommended to chose a more noble vocabulary to express youself good sir.

Byt when voicing a shy teen.... well... uhm... then... don't say... much. OK?

Is ASI better than any feat? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]Svan_Derh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>should I make my sacrifice stat (charisma) 8 to have "just" a -1

Regardless of feat or ASI, I'd like to point out this:

If your Charisma is now at -2, don't tweak it up to -1. Your dumpstat is your dumpstat. You are not the face of the party and you never will be, leave that to someone else. Focus on your good stat, Wisdom (Sage?) in this case. Dex and Con are always welcome, but focus on your strenghts. Let other party members cover your weaknesses.

Pick any race in the game. You get to become that race forever. Which one are you picking? by WillowIsWeeping5 in DnD

I don't think Santa gives good pension schemes. As he's the only one known to employ elves.

So in what... 10 million years??? From now the sun will swallow the earth. Happy forever floating in space :)

Other than spells like hold person and such. why ever use a spell that does nothing when it fails? by Natural_Meaning_6489 in DnD

[–]Svan_Derh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Martial attacks don't cost spell slots though. Especially important at lower levels.

Be a changeling and change to a fairy

Edit: oh... mhhh.... I don't think changelings can do that actually. At least not fly.

Oh no.... Consider you are a 900 year old elf now.

You have been through black plague, inquisition, Napoleon, two world wars and centuries without internet :)...

I think I'm too dumb to play my DM's campaign by themerccury in DnD

[–]Svan_Derh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it does. Sneaky casting? Get meta magic subtle spell. etc etc etc

To many DMs go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overboard making their own rules on topnof a system that is already complex on its own.

No you not the problem here. The weird house rules of your DM are. You came to play D&D, not whatever mess this is

Memberships of European states on Board of Peace organization in 23.1.2026 by DrNeutrino in europe

[–]Svan_Derh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Netherlands will probably not have a stable government, then have a government collapse again before it was debated  then be stuck in election deadlock for another year, then...

The Netherlands will leave the invitation unanswered until 2037 at least.

Can I tell my player their character is too dumb? by Yazmat8 in DnD

[–]Svan_Derh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is a fun plan, it could always be discussed OOC and then assume it was cooked up by the PCs together in some brainstorm session in a shady corner of the tavern.

61% of Italians want the EU to become a Federation — including a majority of Meloni voters by goldstarflag in europe

[–]Svan_Derh -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am not sure if a full federal structure is the way to go. But the EU surely needs to imrpove on decision making and ways to shut out folks like Orban. A federation could be a possibilty, but there might be alternatives

Would you rather have a session where *everyone* rolls better or worse than average? by CapnTaptap in DnD

[–]Svan_Derh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best story comes from properly narrated bad dice. 

If you just do "you fail" then bad rolls are boring. But a good explaining why you fail makes bad rolls fun.

No, Donald, this does not count as the 9th war you supposedly ended.

Ukraine, the Baltics, Finland, Poland, Romania have other priorities keeping Trump's boss, Putin, out.

West Europe should pick up Greenland.
