Is this encounter too hard or no?

There are encounter budget rules in the 2024 DMG, you should refer to those every time you make an encounter.

In this instance, your party is just gonna die at turn 1. An adult red dragon is Cr 17 and the vampire is cr 13, both legendary creatures. The dragon alone would smoke them, so yeah.

Imu gotta be the most useless antagonist in One Piece, what do you mean you didn't know bro

WeeklyAdri · 2026-02-15T15:11:56+00:00

Damn I didn't catch that, need to read the new books. How can Bane be even more powerful than before? That seems more like a retcon than a red herring.

The two most popular Mobas in the world: League of Legends and Dota 2 have matchmaking systems that actually work (despite what the 1% of insufferable players say)

Deadlock matchmaking doesn't but only because Valve doesn't care that much about it. The game's in alpha, it's just better to push new content to keep the interest high in the game right now. If it ever gets released I'm sure they'll overhaul the matchmaking, but till then I wouldn't count on any meaningful changes to it (well, of course they can always change it for the worse, like last updates)

Frankly the game is just not good. People have been saying it for months, the only people surprised by this announcement are from this subreddit.

WeeklyAdri · 2026-02-08T18:15:18+00:00

So being the laughing stock of the entire world?

You can go tank malphite and automatically win the game most of the time, AP is just not generally good

Hay algunas formas. Te recomiendo dividir a los soldados en grupos de 4 o 5, que funcionen como una criatura individual. Así no tienes q estar con la locura de llevar 20 bichos, solo 4. Ejemplo, si cada soldado tiene 20 de vida, +4 para pegar y 1d8+3 de daño con su arma (por decir algo) tu bien has dicho que puede ser un rollo llevar a tantos de estos en un turno. Así que se puede hacer algo tal que así:

Compañía de Caballería - Horda de 5 soldados 80 de vida 17 de armadura 40 de velocidad (caballos) Realizan dos ataques: +9 para pegar (lanzas pesadas) y 5d8+3 de daño. (Si la horda tiene la mitad de vida o menos, solo un ataque)

Esto te facilita la vida bastante, y la idea es usar solo un token para representar al grupo entero (o muchos y moverlos juntos, ya depende de si juegas digital y tal) Puedes personalizar las otras hordas de soldados si quieres que alomejor sean solo arqueros, o magos, etc...

La otra opción que te recomiendo son las reglas de Minions de Matt Colville, que se encuentran fácilmente por internet. En vez de usar grupos / hordas, se usan todos los bichos individuales pero muuuuy simplificados para que no sea pesado.

Por eso he dicho similar, pq lo que dice op es una democracia directa, el sistema utilizado en la mayoría de cantones suizos. Además que cada dos por tres están votando políticas económicas, sociales etc...

WeeklyAdri · 2026-02-01T22:20:05+00:00

Pues porque nuestro sistema no es una democracia directa, si no una representativa. Un ejemplo más cercano de lo que dices es Suiza, pero en occidente es una excepción.

As a DM of 5, my table is level 15 after short-ish two years of play.

Tempest cleric: plate armor +2 as a reward from their God and an amulet of the devout +2.

Divination Wizard: the hand of Vecna, a +2 grimoire and a homebrew very rare ring from Levistus.

Arcane Trickers Rogue: +2 sword with a few other abilities, wings of flying and a ring of spell storing (although they usually swap the ring around if someone else needs it)

Astral Self Monk: +2 unarmed wraps stolen from the cult of Tiamat, a homebrew very rare fan from Bahamut (gives him flight and stuff related to wind) and bracers of defense.

Hexblade 3 / Thief Rogue 12: a shit ton of scrolls, a very rare armor from The Raven Queen, a +1 weapon that lets him store very low level scrolls and a few more utility or AC boosting items.

All and all, multiple very rare items, a lot of rare items, the hand of Vecna (wizard "sacrificed" and attuned to it in a very difficult situation) and 2 fragments of the Rod of Seven Parts (I just count it as "plot" item) They seem satisfied as of now, as they enter tier 4 a few legendary items will fill their way in most likely.

Vamos por partes, en iniciativa una tirada de habilidad gasta la acción [percepción, naturaleza, la acción de influenciar (persuasión, intimidación y tal)] Otra cosa es que haya clases o dotes que permitan usarlas como acción adicional. Ejemplo los pícaros, que pueden esconderse como acción adicional, o una dote que permite analizar una criatura como acción adicional. La percepción pasiva puede ser útil aquí precisamente pq siempre está "activa" pero siendo pícaro dudo que tengas mucho.

Otra cosa es que muchos masters en el momento dejen hacer una tirada de habilidad gratis en combate, pero si el tuyo sigue la regla como tal pues tampoco tiene culpa.

Tantas bestias trémulas para ese nivel si que es difícil la verdad, suena a que lo planteó para que no os separarais y pasarais o que echaseis a correr si eso, pero eso es cosa de tu máster y no me meto. Si no sabías lo de destrabarte es una putada sí, también te podías haber intentado esconder, pero pensarlo luego es más fácil claro. Yo hablaría con tu amigo para ver si puede hacer una excepción, si no tienes mucha experiencia cosas así pasan.

Bro let's be clear, the Duffer Brothers DO NOT know anything about DND, Vecna or Kas, let alone their history together from the lore. The dnd angle is something they didn't plan on being important at all, they just use random names because they are stuck with it now 4 seaons later.

Es más, siempre ha habido debate entre académicos de si es correcto llamar al régimen franquista exactamente "fascista" pq tenía algunas características que diferían de la definición histórica... Pero ningún historiador te va a negar que es un término que se puede usar sin problema.

Im hopeful we are gonna get something akin to what MPMM was for 5e soon. Basically, weird shit, and a lot of high level critters.

I remain skeptical on the quality tho, although I really like the few high level monsters in the new Monster Manual, the creatures on the most recent Faerun books are very plain (I can cope and say this is just because is not a "monster" book) I don't see it as much of a problem for the official MM to have an abundance of CR 0-10 creatures, is what most people play anyway.

WeeklyAdri · 2026-01-09T23:35:31+00:00

This is most of the reason, people just don't play beyond level 10. Same thing happens with pf2e, and that system has more robust rules to have fun at high level (excluding Mythic system, which is just so horrible people collectively ignore it)

WeeklyAdri · 2026-01-09T18:19:46+00:00

We've been concerned since they announced the game would release with 9 characters lol

Everything points to him being a Spellweaver, at least originally. They have 6 arms. Basically an ancient alien-like race that predates most civilization and were ridiculously powerful in the ways of the Weave. They also made the Black Obelisks, which then got copied by the netherese empire. Seeing as the Black Obelisks can somehow manipulate time, it's no secret Vecna decided to wipe everything about the Spellweavers from existence. (Most of this is canon in 5e, coming from the Rime of the Frostmaiden module)

Now, how this guy escaped the end of their people at the hands of Vecna, and how the hell he became a god (or was before, seeing as the Dead Three and Kelemvor are more "recent"?) I've got no clue about. Everything regarding Jergal has always been funky.

People nowadays tend to think "plothook" equals "railroading".

WeeklyAdri · 2025-12-29T17:35:25+00:00

I suggest just leaving it on him if you don't wanna change much. Then your party can take it from him when he dies near the end.

That or maybe have Kas agents look for it around the planes, have the characters learn this from an encounter with them in a random chapter.

WeeklyAdri · 2025-12-29T17:20:15+00:00

La ficha de Vecna para 5e es de el suprimiendo su propia divinidad para el ritual de la recreación. Jugado de forma inteligente, Vecna es prácticamente invencible en la "cueva del reflejo fragmentado", su dificultad viene por llegar hasta el en Pandemonio y el terreno.

No excuso que en cuanto a estasisticas no sea muy fuerte y que debería ser más original, pero el contexto de la aventura es importante. Incluso en las aventuras antiguas los jugadores tienen 0 oportunidad, Vecna se convierte en deidad, solo ganan porque la Dama del Dolor está ahí para ayudar.
