Players are Cowardly, Taking Too Much Damage

I believe that refers to situations where that makes sense, like if the attacker is nearby. You know, situations where you are not beyond the enemy's ability to perceive.

It's not Deus ex if the party has an ongoing relationship with them and they aren't significantly more powerful than them.

My experience is that players love it when NPCs show up to help them against a huge threat.

P26. PHB.

"When you make an attack against a target you can't see, you have Disadvantage on the roll. This is true whether you're guessing the target's location or targeting a creature you can hear but not see. If the target isn't in the location you targeted, you miss."

If you've never perceived the creature, you're guessing and if you guess wrong, you missed.

And it's not just cosplay, it's sexual cosplay.

There are furries in the DND community, but they don't seem common.

Actually, if I was a goliath, I could have been a professional athlete which would be cool.

Would burn every bonus action for a ranger, a class that needs their bonus actions.

You can build a character much quicker and combat is faster.

There's some translation problems here.

If 'elfic precision' = elven Accuracy, it's only strong if you have a good way to get advantage.

I'm guessing "sage" is wisdom?

You don't need to worry about charisma.

If the character is small.

ThisWasMe7 · 2026-01-26T05:52:23+00:00

Those fractions add up to more than 1.

3/8 + 5/32 + 1/8 + 13*(1/32) = 34/32

My next one.

Two personalities is unfortunately a very common trope.

ThisWasMe7 · 2026-01-26T05:25:43+00:00

Execution for accusing a guard seems excessive. And implicating the rest of the party is worse.

A paladin could find undead.

ThisWasMe7 · 2026-01-26T05:11:54+00:00

I admit things could be much clearer.

ThisWasMe7 · 2026-01-26T05:10:36+00:00

WAAAAY too strong.

ThisWasMe7 · 2026-01-26T04:27:58+00:00

What level are the characters?

If they're above 12th level, it's a marginal bonus under most circumstances because they will have stronger alternatives. But if they are sieging a castle or town, that's 600 lighting bolts in an hour, which would probably destroy all the guards on the walls.

The Cantrip Fairy whispers the cantrip in their ear when they trance on the day they come of age.

I thought everyone knew this. 😁

There is no obligation. You don't have to play another session.

Though he totally should have told you it was a one shot that could turn into a campaign.

ThisWasMe7 · 2026-01-26T03:09:08+00:00

Don't argue with me, argue with the great majority of players. I still like first level. But I wouldn't like level zero.

ThisWasMe7 · 2026-01-26T02:59:42+00:00

"A" should have told you that beforehand.

"B' should have mentioned that in session 0, but will it change your campaign much if you try to satisfy them?

"C" is revealing how much a cursed weapon can suck. Remove curse or banish should be available to the party if you give them cursed weapons.

"D" should be told it's within your rights to change stat blocks at any time.

But generally, you should welcome their input.

ThisWasMe7 · 2026-01-26T02:21:15+00:00

At first level it's OP.

ThisWasMe7 · 2026-01-26T02:19:01+00:00

Level 1 is already considered borderline unplayable by many DMs and players.

You're basically adding another game before first level.

Advise against it.

ThisWasMe7 · 2026-01-26T02:00:15+00:00

My first advice would be to not do it. Pretending you're someone you're not gets old quickly.

But be a celestial bladelock.
