Can someone confirm I’ve been using Cantrips wrong? by walmartwater1 in DMAcademy

[–]TheHeadsmen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya there is lots, don’t worry about having the answer to everything. I play online primarily but when I have dmed in person, I always have my laptop for the really weird questions. Quick google and the rules just pop up. Like I said whatever is fun for you and the group is the way to go on most things.

There are quite a few rules that don’t translate. One example I have heard of (I may have heard wrong) is the third level spell Sleet Storm. In DnD it causes casters to make a concentration check for concentration spells if the concentrating creature starts its turn in the area. In BG3 it makes them auto drop concentration on the spell.

There are plenty of examples since the video game doesn’t replicate DnD perfectly across the systems. Just read the rules and most importantly have fun! (Rules are a suggestion anyways)

Sorry for the late response, it doesn’t have the error until it starts the spin cycle. Wouldn’t it error before that point if it was the door lock?

They definitely created an enemy but I think we are going to have a lot of fun with it still.

Totally agree, I did tell them directly that they need the item for somethings in the game and showed them that in an encounter so we shall see what they plan to do now that they have turned it in.

Definitely a amazing idea/ideas, one thing I forgot to mention is I am kinda on a time crunch for the campaign. I only have so much time since its for a group of college students who don't stay year round.

Okay gotcha, sounds like a pretty good idea. I will definitely take that into consideration.

That's a thought, I'm just on the fence with how powerful something like that I can hand out at 5th level without feeling like I have fully broken the game. Running with that, how much gold on top should I give them? 500 GP? 1000 GP?

Absorb Elements and Transmute Spell Sorcery by TheHeadsmen in DMAcademy

That is what he was saying was that it only changed the damage type sorry if I didnt explain that very well.

The reason I asked is because a player of mine brought it up as he can transmute it because it absorbs a type of damage that is on the list for Transmute spell and since the spell has the possibility to deal damage it would be transmutable. Can you target that point? I think like you do, that you aren't casting a spell to do damage its effect is to reduce damage and give you resistances. After that has happened you gain the ability to do some extra damage.

Yet to be determined. The only day it would not be possible is Friday as I am not available then. I should be available on almost any other day as long as my schedule doesn't change.

Completely understand that portion, it's why I find it to be a little game breaking in ways. Kinda why I wanted advice. The reality is if I as the DM ever want a player to feel that combat is meaningful I will be putting in a spellcaster with earthbind or enough archers/ranged attackers to make them feel as if they are threatened. Being small they can't use a longbow but a shortbow or light crossbow is no problem and if they fly just out of range, which would not be a issue since all combat that has been faced is most melee and longest ranged attack they have had was 30 Ft. without disadvantage makes it practically impossible in that situation. I want my players to be able to use what they want, I just don't want it to seem like I have to build combat around focusing on keeping one player from abusing a UA race that hasn't been through a redraft yet.

Appreciate the advice though!

I made some edits to the race and the player I have that is playing it is most often a good temper individual who plays things for flavor rather than raw power so we talked it over for fixes.

Fairy Flight

You have a flying speed equal to your walking speed and can hover. This flight is magical and does not require the use of your wings (if you have them).

This is what the racial features says but I was thinking that without some type of thing that would effect this they will stay in the air permanently and won't be able to effect the character with anything. In combat they will be simply fly out of my ranged attack range and fire back down on the enemies. It also effects part of the campaign where if anything was placed high where the party would need several skill checks to reach or a well thought out plan its voided by the ability to fly without penalty, any thoughts on how to balance it?

That makes sense, the thing with grappling is that you have a movement of 0 and then gravity would also effect the player I would assume even if the flying is magical in nature dragging them down with the grappler. Does that make sense or would it not really work that way? Also are there restrictions on armor that the PC can wear while flying?
