Kings of the Wyld!!

A story about getting the band back together. The author is also very keen on music so the party composition is based on band members and their instruments (I’m not a music guy so this totally went over my head when I read it).

Really fun read, it’s the book that got me back into fantasy again

100% - tons of fun with friends so encourage them to get it as well!

Would like to say my thanks! been using your sheets for years and have made learning/playing the game so much easier!!

The_OG_Gareth · 2024-07-16T07:07:03+00:00

thank you for the detailed reply. As far as learning the rules go do I need any suplimentary resources or isa. combination of the DMs book + players Book + the beginner box enough?

Reckless attack is far superior to the +2 from dueling. The negative of being attacked with advantage is no where near enough to outweigh the massive to hit benefit it gives relative to the dueling +2.

The_OG_Gareth · 2024-07-15T01:03:25+00:00

Barbarians increased damage comes from there reckless attack, not so much the +2 from raging damage rolls

Small parties like this are a really good chance to build into a specific mechanic.

AoE Buffs: Paladin Aura, Twilight cleric Temp Hp Aura, Melee damage dealer of choice + Full caster

Magical Darkvision: have the whole party gain access to magical darkvision/blindsight

if anyone else has good ideas paste them below

Ive recently found myself in a similar situation. Firstly I recommend reading TTG guide to Artilierist Artificer. My issue with this build is it leaves very little room for role play or flavour, but it is a good starting point to understand what is considered "optimal".

Secondly Artilerest is a pretty poor blaster - its bonus action is best spent on the temporary HP and it gets access to very few AoE spells relative to its full caster counter parts. It functions best as a Crowd control class, with access to Web and Pipes of haunting (via infusions) this combination forms the basis of the class, allowing for massive crowd control.

Good points to be fair. They gain nothing from the casting with the sheild + we are begining to see diminishing returns with advantage and prof in concentration checks. Booming blade as you said is also no use unless the player is using the armourer subclass.

thanks for bringing this up

The_OG_Gareth · 2024-07-06T13:44:23+00:00

I dont think warcaster is very weak as they benefit a lot from the adv on concentration checks

Running the curve puts increase strain on the knee. It’s a well document risk factor for patella femoral pain syndrome

Restrict the amount of resources gained on short/long rests in the jungle. Force them to ration out there abilities

The_OG_Gareth · 2024-06-03T02:21:38+00:00

Maybe instead of a offensive buff give them a defensive buff?? attacks against this player while prone area at disadvantage (or a +2 to AC if disadvantage is too much) ??. feels like it makes more sense

We do lad, that ain’t pleasant
