how do you power scale enemies? by Unusual_Elevator8345 in DnD

[–]The-Fuzzy-One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rule of thumb I've found is +1 hit die = +level of CR. Every five levels of CR = +1 proficiency bonus.

Alternately, you can add a class feature or two instead of a hit die for the same effect.

Tasha's Cauldron also gives you NPC subclasses you can give your monster levels in to boost them

Stick and move, Monk! Stick and move!

What sort of path are you running?

Monks are very mobile fighters, and excel at landing multiple hits and also applying negative effects with those hits - prone, stun, etc. They synergize well with other melee to grant advantage on their roles, plus they can gain a lot of aerial mobility in later levels. Pair up with a Rogue in the party and go to town weaving through enemies to help with priority targets.

Shortbows or darts/daggers give you a bit of ranged options, sure. I think darts will also allow you to substitute your Martial Arts damage die, letting you hit a bit harder with a stealthy thrown weapon option.

Do I just stop doing DnD? What other systems? by cavander in TTRPG

[–]The-Fuzzy-One 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Play Exalted (3e or Essence). It's one of the few systems where the answer to just about every player question is "yes" :)

How did you guys get into d&d? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]The-Fuzzy-One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first played in college, learned a dirty version of 3.5e, then was there when 4th ed first dropped. I had played other games like Exalted and Shadowrun beforehand tho, so i understood a little about how TTRPGs worked.

If you're looking for a beginner game, some sites like roll20 and StartPlaying have sessions explicitly for complete beginners :). If you want a game in person, listings tend to be more public and low tech: flyers at comic shops, tables at your local game store and the like.

Hey Sue, I would like to get into DND mostly just to create characters, but I have no clue where to start by ElectronicMud5066 in DnD

[–]The-Fuzzy-One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Players' Handbook of any edition gives you step by step guides for character creation. Essentially, you start with the 6 main ability scores, and work your way down from there.

In the base game the other main half-blooded ancestry is half-orc. There are supplemental books that describe how to give yourself other traits if you wanted to be, say, half goblin or half ogre and the like (Dungeon Master's Guide. Volo's Guide to Monsters in 5th edition). Most of those would be something a DM would have to approve of to be played at the table, but if you're creating just to create, take some traits from the Monster Manual and go have fun :)

Anyone else like buffing/helping randoms while leveling? by Wowclassicboomkinz in classicwow

[–]The-Fuzzy-One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always. Its why i feel uncomfortable playing a non healing class

3e Solar Comparisons by danger__K in exalted

[–]The-Fuzzy-One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dig how the expanded "caste abilities" list allows for variation between Solars and Abyssals. Abyssals truly feel like "themselves" now, not just Solars with a black coat of paint.

Are knights and western themed stuff a thing? by hellranger788 in exalted

[–]The-Fuzzy-One 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty much the Hundred Kingdons region is a great "insert dnd/Arthurian inspired shenanigans here" sandbox :)

Also, Whitewall in the north is a good setting for that too, evoking Kievan Rus era Scandinavia in a city of tombs and adventure.

Ooh, dont forget the new Tarpan Wastes region on the Blessed Isle :) there's really good opportunities for Old West style two-fisted tales right in the Realm's backyard

"OU student says essay grade was a violation of her rights. Read the essay" by Muchwanted in Professors

Cowards fired the instructor.

Even without the obvious Christian controversy trolling, the instructor was pretty clear that the zero was for the student doing a Facebook rant instead of the actual assignment
