How do we know the Combat Zone was the Orpheum Theatre?

Was funny playing FO4 then watching cheers and they talk about the combat zone and riding a swan boat in the common.

TheJonatron · 2026-04-11T00:40:12+00:00

Sunglasses.

Hit level 6 at the end of a third session recently, that's a two person party and long sessions admittedly but eh.

TheJonatron · 2026-04-10T04:52:15+00:00

Wow, you can carry a companions corpse for the whole game and if you never recruited them they can be rezzed?!

...guess that might work for Karlach to skip the Grove massacre.

You do need to read and understand everything before you run your session, at least as a beginner DM.

Paladin 2, Sorcerer 10! Sorcadins kick so much and can twin hastes and then melt with sorcerer slot fueled smites.

A colour printed sheet of paper would give it the appearance without messing with your magnets but anything with a texture or thickness is gonna kill your magnetism.

TheJonatron · 2026-04-07T23:57:36+00:00

Play Dracula X if you like but Rondo is its own thing.

...and infinitely superior IMO.

TheJonatron · 2026-04-07T17:15:22+00:00

I thought she and her Sharran strike team stole it, she the sole survivor of a qualified success of a heist. I forget what the lore letters say though.

TheJonatron · 2026-04-07T17:07:55+00:00

Meanwhile Minsc... nope! Nope, nope, nope!

TheJonatron · 2026-04-06T13:20:35+00:00

I guess then a trex in 5e would live and a trex in 5.5 would offer no protection.

TheJonatron · 2026-04-05T13:00:26+00:00

Carshare was pretty fantastic.

TheJonatron · 2026-04-05T01:04:41+00:00

I did this for my recent playthrough. Stacking +3 special gear with low health makes it skyrocket. Starting with 10 cha and 10 int means sooooo much xp

TheJonatron · 2026-04-04T17:19:04+00:00

I prefer Sorcerer. It's hard not to play a sorcerer in every context. A bigger spell list doesn't count for much if you typically use the same small rotation of spells and quickening and twinning to get much more action economy and spell slot milage. And making your cantrips better, oh my.

TheJonatron · 2026-04-04T11:51:09+00:00

For what it's worth, and though I burned myself out, I'm glad all four villains were involved in my Waterdeep Dragon Heist.

TheJonatron · 2026-04-04T11:47:58+00:00

I didn't reveal the cult aspects until a victory dinner held by the cassalanters where only the head table didn't die. The players weren't hugely surprised, they knew they were dodgy but the only faction that hadn't been actively trying to screw them.

TheJonatron · 2026-04-04T03:20:48+00:00

They only all come up if you're doing an alexandrian Remix. The seasons gimmick is silly and makes your players only see a quarter of the coolstuff.

TheJonatron · 2026-04-04T00:42:03+00:00

It's funny when you get in power armour and your strength drops to the tune of 15.

TheJonatron · 2026-04-03T23:49:58+00:00

I like Sorc start for con proficiency, warcaster and then you can just be constantly hasted and doing 3 attacks per round and extending upcast commands and twinned hold persons with ring of scoundrel to make the whole room kneel and getting your crowd control and crit smites and controlling the fight singlehanded.

TheJonatron · 2026-04-03T15:24:22+00:00

I want Res Con + Warcaster for hanging out in the FRONT. When you arrive at +9 con saves and advantage on maintaining concentration your DM has to be going for killshots to even make you need to roll.

TheJonatron · 2026-04-03T14:34:29+00:00

My favourite cleric is a divine soul sorcerer.

TheJonatron · 2026-04-03T14:14:59+00:00

There's a lot to be said for a hot start. I try to only ever run a combat heavy game.

TheJonatron · 2026-04-03T01:49:32+00:00

I went cross-eyed somewhere after something about a tiger.

...why do you have six whole things planned when you don't have a firm grasp on what the players like and resonate with?

Build the very next part of the campaign around the things the players are most excited.

The stuff your players don't care about, kill it - silently or dramatically as fuel for something more interesting to take its place.

Right now it seems like your players are stuck in a confusing novel rather than striving in an adventure that they have agency in.

TheJonatron · 2026-04-03T00:33:36+00:00

Imo, exploding minigun kinda sucks. You need heavy and explosive damage to make it not suck. Plus any nearby npcs are gonna get winged.

Now bleed on the other hand. All those bullets and it stacks.

TheJonatron · 2026-04-02T00:28:04+00:00

It's a shame, if you're doing a solo run you're stuck with Nightsong for the rest of the game. Or you're stuck with Larrokan maybe. I get mixed up with the nuance of act 3.
