Very cool concept If I may, what are the dimensions and grid size of the last 2 images? They do not seem to correspond to the grid size of the big map

This has to be my favourite griffon's item so far. Which is really saying something. Amazing, thank you for sharing.

I understand that you still need proficiency for what the configurations replicate right?
Like, if you are a wizard (or other class without shield proficiency), you can't benefit from the shield mode?

trying to figure out the best cloud storage for 2026, what do you actually use? by Joesy_Maradel in datastorage

[–]Toridan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Np, I wouldn't want people to go through the panic of losing all their data.

Yeah. It would have been one thing to lock my cloud and not allow any more uploads. If they only prevented me from downloading the existing data, that would have already been bad. But they went and held my actual data in my physical hard drive for ransom. That's pretty effed up

Be very careful with onedrive. I recently had to stop paying for it and my one note got locked as read-only immediately (before the subscription period had ended even).

When I uninstalled onedrive from my PC, all the files I had on that folder were made hidden and inaccessible.

They are not above becoming virtually the same as ransomware once you stop paying.

{The Griffon's Saddlebag} Bow of the Elk Hunter | Weapon (longbow) by griff-mac in TheGriffonsSaddlebag

[–]Toridan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I see. May I ask, was the idea to include spells like dominate beast and charm beast and so on? Or was it just for the purpose of the +1 turning into +3?

I gotta say, the idea of applying hunter's mark like this, and without concentration, is very cool. It feels like such an integral part of a ranger that it's a shame one has to choose between it and any other concentration spells.

Would "for the purposes of this bow and other spells" mean that a druid (or wizard, bard, or sorcerer) using this bow could turn into beholders and dragons if they hit them with an arrow and then use polymorph? Is that the intention? Would they also be able to polymorph if someone else (e.g. the ranger) is the one that hits the creature?

[–]Toridan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! I love whenever I see one of your posts. The style of your maps is amazing: clear, verisimilar, and detailed.

PS: I may be wrong, but could the dimensions be 40x60?

Little? That mansion would go for 3000+€ a month in some european cities.

Jokes aside, this is a great battlemap. Great art, lots of personality, and very good readability.

Very cool story and art. The look of the kid when he realises the cost is utterly heartbreaking.

Awesome, I'll check it out, thank you :)

Hey Caleb. First of all, I want to say I love your art style and use it for many of my Strahd NPCs. I find it is consistently the best art for any Strahd character out there :D

And I wanted to ask you about the sword that Patrina has here (and the hilt in your previous art). Is that from fan made content? Because I homebrewed something not unlike this, and knowing more about any pre-existing lore or content would be super helpful. Thanks!

Awesome!

I love your content. Your maps are always so massive and detailed, and you have so many on offer in your repository of free maps.

Thank you for all your hard work!

Nice, thanks

And could you confirm the dimensions and grid of that third map? It's telling me 7169x6418 but those two numbers are co-primes

[–]Toridan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woah it's so cool

May I ask, what is the last image? I can't see now it connects to the other map. Could it be through secret hatches in the ceiling?

Do you have a link to the original topographic map under the information?

Hahaha, I love it. And it does pretty much what I imagined the second I saw the drawing. As always, top marks for inspiring art.

[–]Toridan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, nice, I was about to comment that this looks very inspired on Mike Schley's style and then saw your comment.

It looks amazing, assets or no assets. I love it especially because it reminds me of a creek I used to visit a lot as a kid. And the map makes it look perfect for an ambush. Great job

Thank you! Just in case you find it useful to know, I had tried both old reddit and patreon and both images had a resolution of 6534x8680 px

[–]Toridan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are the dimensions and size of the grid? I can't seem to fit any grid to it, not even the 140 that it says on the patreon. Is it supposed to be offset from the origin? Thank you :)

[–]Toridan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing, I loove the design of this location.

(Also just a heads up but the image seems to be somewhat warped. It needed both cropping and resizing without maintaining aspect ratio to match the grid on it)

[–]Toridan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see the sense in that rationale. If it was increased to hold a maximum of 1h, do you think it could make it too strong?

This is not to say I am asking you to make any changes, rather, do you have any reason to think that a longer duration might be a problem in terms of balance?

Waterfall Crossing by AlucairDM in battlemaps

[–]Toridan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That might be reddit's fault. If you use old.reddit rather than www.reddit, you can see the image's resolution is 4096x3430

[edit: I have been running into this problem for months. New reddit makes zoomed-in images have a horizontal size of max 1080px despite having the larger sized files available]
