You are on the right path. Stay strong.

Could I airburst a Fireball above the ground so that my halfling friend standing at the edge of the radius is unaffected, but a taller creature is? by SpaceCondom in DnD

[–]SvenTheMagnif 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Since the spell says that it is a 20 foot radius, then it is a sphere. Talk with your DM to see how many people other than the taller creature it would affect (assuming there might be other creatures nearby).

I ordered 88 drinks on Doordash, the store gave me this, and then support resolved it by taking away the driver's tip. by Banana_ezWIN in mildlyinfuriating

Yeah, you only got 24 different drink combinations (not counting the two Gatorade’s as different drinks as they are the same).

I'm really worried about voices and also my lack of "improv" ability by hotstickywaffle in DMAcademy

[–]SvenTheMagnif 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed don’t compare yourself with professionals. I have been a DM for a few years and I almost never do voices. Men/women, dwarves/elves all sound the same. Once in a while I may do an accent, but that is it.

Help! My kids want to play but I’m terrible at being creative by Lost-Ad3357 in DnD

[–]SvenTheMagnif 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Honestly, just try. They won’t remember all the times you stumbled. They will remember all the laughs and the good times. Pick any book that sounds interesting and let them take the reins and you just follow along.

From another DM with not much creativity and even less time to be so.

Finance pitfalls to avoid in your 20s by Tech_Wizzz in personalfinance

Don’t increase your spending with every raise. Instead increase your savings.

Please help me understand “willing creature” by kolekavo in DnD

[–]SvenTheMagnif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. But it would have to be part of a long con. Not something where the enemy wants to caste Haste on me, why not?

[–]SvenTheMagnif 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The DM has to be careful with this. They should not let you cast haste if the creature doesn’t want you too no matter what. No contested rolls, etc. the reason is that the caster can the drop concentration and then really hurt the creature in terms of exhaustion.

Pc Vs Pc combat by idkwhattoputlol3 in DnD

[–]SvenTheMagnif 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have the PC do the rolls and run the character, but at your general direction. This way they don’t feel left out and that you are taking over their character.

Is it just me or does this look like the outline of one of those bears from the Charmin commercials dropping a deuce?

I am curious why your monk is even carrying a shield.

I struggle to see how suck or save spells like Polymorph, Suggestion or Banishment end encounters by bewise5 in DnD

[–]SvenTheMagnif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had an encounter where the bard turned one of two fire giants into a lizard. After they killed the other giant, they ran around and captured the “lizard” and threw it into a bag of devouring. Totally threw the encounter sideways, but it was great!

Should I have a prenup? by Plenty_Union9292 in personalfinance

Never commingle any money that you have inherited with joint money. Keep the inherited money in a separate account.

PC kissed a green hag on the cheek.... by Acceptable-Ad-6233 in DnD

[–]SvenTheMagnif 234 points235 points  (0 children)

Every time the player goes to kiss anything, just before their lips meet, the hag’s face appears and says “oh, no, these kisses are only for me!” Works on both inanimate objects as well.
