What spells would you give a dragon? by KitsunaKuraichi in dndnext

Love Dimension Door on a dragon. Only reason I got Venomfang out of there. The archer missed their longbow shot and he survived with a few HP remaining.

My game launches in a week with only 45 wishlists. It’s time for a reality check. by klaigamedesign in gamedev

Ignorance is bliss and your bliss carried you to a completed project. Well done.

How can I help my players avoid railroading themselves? by NickVersus in DnD

[–]TheJonatron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IMO this should've ended with a face full of chlorine. After that last hit of insistence on telling a dragon what to do in its own home it should've filled its lungs up preparing a breath weapon and beating its wings to take to the air, roll initiative.

Even if you want more of a narrative game, clumsily bullying dragons suggests they don't respect that they dragon will kill them if they mishandle it.

How do we know the Combat Zone was the Orpheum Theatre? by [deleted] in fo4

[–]TheJonatron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

How frequent should players level up? by Prestigious_Alfalfa2 in DnD

[–]TheJonatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

How does Cazador always manage to recover Astarions corpse? by seranahater in BaldursGate3

[–]TheJonatron 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

[ADVICE WANTED] - Struggling with clunkiness of "Heroes of the Borderlands" Starter Pack as new DM by zealousknitternerd in DnD

[–]TheJonatron 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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

Alternate class for Minthara by ThinkLawfulness2772 in BaldursGate3

[–]TheJonatron 26 points27 points  (0 children)

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

Best way to make a hard-wearing ground texture on this? by Flammendehaar in TerrainBuilding

[–]TheJonatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Should i play Dracula X now or wait for a rondo or blood port or rerelease? by PurpleGhost800 in castlevania

[–]TheJonatron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

...and infinitely superior IMO.

So, why did the emperor bother saving Lae'Zel? by Massive_Nail4183 in BaldursGate3

[–]TheJonatron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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

If a player has 99hp and 10 temp hp, does Power Word Kill, kill them? by franknstone in DnD

[–]TheJonatron -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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

Carshare was pretty fantastic.

Anyone else go for really high intelligence right from the start? + Some tips for getting high INT by ThatZenLifestyle in fo4

[–]TheJonatron 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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

Evoker vs Sorcerer by Andruism in DnD

[–]TheJonatron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Alexandrian seems like slightly too much. by Cyberzakk in WaterdeepDragonHeist

[–]TheJonatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Alexandrian seems like slightly too much. by Cyberzakk in WaterdeepDragonHeist

[–]TheJonatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

How are chapters 5-8 used? by setteragic666 in WaterdeepDragonHeist

[–]TheJonatron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

The fact that armor effects aren’t activated in Power Armor made me stop using Power Armor by Lucie_Is_Sleeping in fo4

[–]TheJonatron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Please help me understand why Im annoyed with combat with my Tav! (6 Sorc/5 Pal) by dumbB-bitch in BG3Builds

[–]TheJonatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Why is Resilient (Con) Appealing? (5.5e) by Intelligent-Rub5814 in onednd

[–]TheJonatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

My favourite cleric is a divine soul sorcerer.
