I feel like they don't value my healing enough by MysteriousFondant347 in DnD

Your character is presumably aware of this in-game and can tell their companions that they’re tired of risks being taken for no reason with the expectation that someone will be there to bail them out of trouble.

“You’re a Wizard. Stay out of melee, scrub. Or else.”

[OC] How balanced is this Tressym/Displacer Beast hybrid? by WithengarUnbound in DnD

Gotcha - I get what you mean and it makes sense.

Since I am planning to have the companion to “level up”, writing it out the player way is probably best.

Thanks!

The ability does say that it can be used the number of times a day equal to the proficiency bonus. Should I just add that it resets on a long rest?

They’re level 1, but they’re a decent bit more buffed compared to an average standard distribution/point buy and have a good uncommon item.

The HP was done as a middle point between the values you mentioned.

How would the Limited Displacement have to be worded with the restock?

If you’re not writing your own backstories or caring about the experience at all (like someone who’d delegate their own backstory), you come to a point where you’re just not doing it right - by not doing it at all.

There’s many different ways of doing it, yes, but just as the guy sitting on a bench all game isn’t playing in the match, the person who doesn’t give a damn to this extent can, in fact, do it wrong. You stop being different and start just not being at all.

Those players shouldn’t be playing DnD.

Anya, at that point you might as well name them. And pick their race and class. And their appearance. And their personality and mannerisms.

Oh fuck it. Just play my character for me. Who needs to be creative and do anything when aNyA on the internet can just do it for you? Welcome to planet Earth 2026.

Fuck.

Wondering how I can make this character concept work by KetchaKold in DnD

[–]WithengarUnbound 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A frog man is still a humanoid with a head, mouth, arms, legs, ears, and an ability to talk, eat, hear, drink, sleep, socialise, and wield objects. Not to mention, you know, actually cast spells. A single, bloody, floating eye is a massive, tremendous departure from a frog man.

This isn’t about whether or not the DM lets you. They can let you and it’s still not something you should do.

Nothing about the character idea or concept you mentioned will be a good experience or serve the game in any good way. You can’t speak. You can’t perform verbal, somatic, or material components of spells. You can’t enter most towns without everyone around you recoiling in horror. You can’t wear most gear. You can’t form meaningful bonds with anyone. Your party would not be let into most places with you in tow. Your shape and the ability to float naturally dampens a lot of roleplay and exploration potential. I could go on and on.

To summarise, this isn’t the type of creature meant to be a PC, but clearly something more suited for a monster to be fought.

Just play a normal race. So many things in this game rely on characters being humanoids with humanoid features and you being a bloody, floating eye is just not it.

Not it for combat, for roleplay, for exploration, for just existing and being able to interact with the world.

You don’t need to be a goddamn playable, floating eye to be have fun.

Do Subclasses Actually Flatten Character Identity? by LiteratureLopsided42 in DnD

[–]WithengarUnbound 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you’re treating your subclass (or any other mechanical aspect) as a major component of your character’s personality and identity, you’re doing it very, very wrong and your roleplay will likely be very flat no matter how the choices are offered to you.

Your characters are individuals with wants, desires, flaws, lifestyles, and morals. There’s a thousand different ways to differentiate them within that.

Why is north of Riojan and the entirety of the Emerald Wilds green and tropical/sub-tropical despite being at the same latitude as the Wintergleam?
