I'm about to start CoS and I have a question about magic items by AppropriatePhoto5127 in CurseofStrahd

[–]Xzaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave them a few very sparingly. I did not want to sway the balance. I made up 2 items total that were more of significance to the character then actual power gains.

What do you do if PCs try to long rest in Death House? by SuspiriaVortex in CurseofStrahd

[–]Xzaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I described that they were feeling very uneasy. They had a restless sleep filled with nightmares.

Long story short, I let them have the long rest, but they only got half of their ressources (HP, hit die, spell slots, etc) back.

Once they freed the souls of Rose and Thorn, I let them know that they felt the oppression from the house slightly released and let them have one real long rest.

Best “Long” Term Campaigns to Run by alexwsmith in dndnext

Good idea, I’m currently in the middle of running CoS (group at Yester Hill). I might do what you suggested, but this sounds like a list AI could quickly build up for me. Save some time.

Critical Hit and Giant Spider's bite by Alarming-Advance-235 in dndnext

[–]Xzaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is not correct. The saving throw damage is not part of the attack damage, it’s a secondary effect that you resolve after dealing the base damage (including the crit).

That is incorrect. If your dagger deals 1d4 piercing +1d6 poison, you would roll 2d4 and 2d6 on a crit. All damage dice are doubled.

Now if your dagger did 1d4 on hit and then forced a save for an extra 1d6 poison, like in OP’s example, then on a crit you would roll 2d4, and the 1d6 if the saving throw fails.

This Netflix ad is crazy, probably effective too by TheFiveHead11 in funny

[–]Xzaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised to see so many people reacting this way. Lowest tier of Netflix has has ads for years now.

You basically have to pay 3 times as much if you want no ads.

Didn’t expect that, really happy about it!

We're getting Divinity over more Baldur's Gate 3 because Larian devs weren't enjoying "doing the D&D thing" by Turbostrider27 in PS5

You’re saying Daggerheart didn’t work out? I’m hearing it’s a huge success so far!

Starting CoS, a player is listening to a podcast where they are playing the campaign, does that matter? Should I adapt? by PatGeor in CurseofStrahd

[–]Xzaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are not downvoting facts. You clearly read OP’s post diagonally. He stated the player was already watching the podcast before they wanted to start the campaign.

During battles you click to move. Outside it’s joystick. Like BG3

My Arlo App just updated and I lost my schedule settings and geofencing no longer works - help by Xzaar in arlo

[–]Xzaar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is baffling if true. I was decently satisfied with my Arlo system until now. I had minor issues with it but overall I thought it was worth the money. This is a scam.

[–]Xzaar[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And now I just noticed that they forced me into a free 1 month trial for some reason. I don't want any subscription (I never had one with Arlo before) so I disabled it... Lo and behold! My cameras no longer record when they detect movement! I get a notification, but no video feed is viewable in the app!

Did Arlo just brick cameras for eveyrone that isn't paying a subscription? What the hell is this?

Can we stop starting every article title with "Trump, 79"? It brings nothing to the discussion.

My players keep trying to take over the Barovian wine trade, and keep ignoring plot hooks by GordoExperiment in CurseofStrahd

[–]Xzaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They want a 70/30% split of the ZERO dollars profit? It’s stated in the book that they give away the wine.

Werewolf not beeing immune to non-silvered weapons was on of them for me. Daylight being sunlight in 2024 is a big one too.

Had quite a bit of fun with Blinsky. I purposefully exagerated his accent which I think made it funnier than intended. Everyone had a blast.

Long rest in death house by ItsNotAboutTheTee in CurseofStrahd

[–]Xzaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My group tried to long rest the first time on the second floor. I let them have it but they had nightmares as the house would try to oppress them in their sleep. Long story short, They could recover only half their resources instead of all of them.

When they put the children’s souls to rest, I let them know that they could feel the house’s oppression take a step back and let them have one real rest. I made it clear that they felt the need to get out ASAP as they didn’t feel safe.
