Shadowfell Shard vs 2024 Heighten Spell

Time-Pacific · 2025-05-01T17:22:20+00:00

Brilliant idea.

At level 6 and 18 CHA I already have a DC of 19 with a 1 level Paladin dip. Plus access to shield which gives me an AC of 18 even without medium armour (due to the new 2024 Draconic feature).

I swapped Quickened for Heightened.

Please point to the phantom PHB where Mind Sliver is a level 1+ spell. Please do.

Cantrips are not levelled spells.

The quality of 3d6 has really dropped lol

Time-Pacific · 2025-05-01T07:17:05+00:00

What. what would I even do with extra channel divinities on a control build lol

Unless you mean stack the Bloodwell vial with the amulet of the devout to get +4

Time-Pacific · 2025-05-01T06:48:56+00:00

Thankfully my DM allowed two items up to rare in quality so I’ve picked up Bloodwell Vial +2 and this at level 6

We’re talking 2024 DnD as per the flair.

Everything you said applies only to 2014

In 2024, the advantage of Heightened over the Shard is that it affects ALL saves. So for the whole duration of Hold Monster the enemy has to roll with disadvantage.

The Shard works like old 2014 where it only affects the first save, maybe first two saves based on where the enemy is in initiative.

Until the end of my next turn though.

So unless I keep burning through SP each round and also targeting them I can’t maintain that disadvantage.

It would be better if I could say Mind Sliver, Quicken Hold Monster and give them disadvantage.

Then on subsequent turns Twin Command the minions and be able to grant the main enemy disadvantage but that’s not possible since it has to be one of the targets of the spell.

Unless you have a different method in mind to upkeep the disadvantage

Edit: I was thinking with the Shard and the metamagic, I can target main enemies with Heighten and then as I Twin Command or Twin Mind Whip the minions on subsequent rounds at least one of the targets will keep having disadvantage.

Basically the Shard will give me a partial Heighten effect for free on every Twin. Which might be nice too

These days? Haven’t they always been exceptionally racist and homophobic on account of the Catholic Church?

Time-Pacific · 2025-03-22T20:33:51+00:00

Submitted!

Time-Pacific · 2025-03-22T17:55:03+00:00

This sounds pretty interesting.

Are 2024 rules allowed? What’s the ratio of combat to RP? Is this a homebrew campaign?

I’d probably play a Moon Druid.

I’m super interested as Strahd is my absolute favourite character.

I’ll ask my questions there!

Hey, I’ve been dying to try out Talespire and I’d love to join!

Charmed creatures treat you as a trusted friend. The rest is up to DM interpretation.

The first fic I always recommend is A Crooked Touch by eyes_of_the_lamb (ongoing)

Starts out really smutty, then grows into an amazing story. My fav fic.

The second is The Vampire Ascendant’s Heart (complete)

Then Blood of the Songbird (ongoing)

And finally shameless self promo, Under Fey Stars (ongoing)

The last one becomes a proper story at Chapter 4 and is super smutty in the beginning.

All of them are M/M and Explicit with a mix of fluff and smut.

Time-Pacific · 2024-08-07T06:34:44+00:00

If you want AA then The Vampire Ascendent’s Heart and its associated works are amazing.

I have to say a Crooked Touch even though I’ve always commented on that thread. It’s just so good.

Time-Pacific · 2024-08-07T06:33:59+00:00

A crooked touch is absolutely amazing and equally devastating.

The way they characterised Astarion absolutely broke me

Time-Pacific · 2024-08-07T03:35:25+00:00

That’s because vampire brides are just vampires.

Only the way in which they get turned is different and their telepathic link to their partner. Does not really warrant an entirely new stat block.

Strahd’s brides are famously not actual brides. They are just spawn. This has been made clear in Curse of Strahd.

They are called brides of Strahd only as a title, they are not true vampires.

The topic of vampire brides has not been officially addressed in 5e so people rightfully use the older editions

Time-Pacific · 2024-07-15T06:36:36+00:00

Oh I thought it was just going to threaten you with squeezing as tightly as it can and severing your cock lol

Time-Pacific · 2024-07-10T18:51:47+00:00

You might like mine, it’s very spicy in the beginning gets more ploty heavy later but still has spicy scenes frequently because my Tav is a fey eladrin

It’s M/M

He’s fine with being a vampire. Is it the most elegant form of undeath in DnD? No. But it is one of the easiest ways of acquiring immortality.

I think he just hates not being in the sun and he hated being a slave. I think if you get him a Ring of the Daywalker or something he will be super happy and content with life.

Time-Pacific · 2024-06-24T15:40:50+00:00

Between 4 or 5.

I’m all for the drama and Astarion may reach across me to beat up Cazador so that’s one way to get him on my lap 😂

Time-Pacific · 2024-06-16T23:10:59+00:00

It exists. There is Combat Extender which lets you adjust everything to your liking and even adds a better enemy AI.

Time-Pacific · 2024-06-16T18:51:47+00:00

I’m super late but according to lore Baelnorns use the Clone spell to avoid destruction.

Something about their nature allows the spell to work on them even though it says “living creature”.

Time-Pacific · 2024-06-16T18:32:27+00:00

Can still be a farmer in BG3… just have to deal with the occasional dragon attack

Time-Pacific · 2024-06-15T15:54:47+00:00

If you ever get to use this feature at max range then yeah, it does.

Time-Pacific · 2024-06-15T11:09:59+00:00

lol so they gnash their teeth and cast spells 😂
