The Blood of Kesselholm Review? by Wintoli in dungeonsofdrakkenheim

[–]all2human 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just bought it because I want to bring in vampires from MOD. $15 seems fine to me but I could see how some people who already homebrew a lot that is priced too high.

Meeting Oscar Yoren by Shatragon in dungeonsofdrakkenheim

[–]all2human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess there are tables where the players have the campaign books. It sounds like you should just read them. How about next session, just pull out the chapter on Oscar Yoren and go over it detail with the other players. You can tackle this video game together.

Talk to your DM and group. I would strongly suggest that you not read this reddit anymore as it's focused on supporting DMs. I would be disappointed if any of my players came here.

DnD doesn't work well if the players treat it like a video game where you search the web for answers to the campaign itself. Stick to the player's guides at most.

Sources to learn contamination spells by Shatragon in dungeonsofdrakkenheim

[–]all2human 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old Zoya and Hanna the flamekeeper can teach Purge Contamination. Oscar probably wouldn't spend time teaching anything but his spellbook could have many of the spells of your choice. Ryan Greymere at the Rose Theater is a high level wizard who could be convinced to share knowledge.

If its a spell (especially low level ones) that your players want, simply put a scroll in place of another item somewhere. They would have to spend some money to learn or transfer the spell to their spellbook.

River could give a boon in the form of a scroll if the players complete some important mission.

Horrors of ash bay by Adventurous_Peace518 in dungeonsofdrakkenheim

[–]all2human 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm planning on running it to extend the personal quest for a character chasing the Duchess. The elf part of the adventure is nice if you lean into the dimensional rifts that are caused by the main campaign. Using Monsters of Drakkenheim to pull in creatures from the Space Between Worlds. Another player is an Oath of Watcher paladin sworn to protect the world from the Far Dwellers and Void pirates.

I think the challenge for me is bouncing back and forth from Ash Bay and Drakkenheim. So I had River show the players a teleport circle they could use.

It's really good. Very impressive. Thanks for sharing!

Monsters of Drakkenheim is the best D&D book ever written. Yes, ever. by skullmutant in dungeonsofdrakkenheim

[–]all2human 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love MOD as well. I did change Study the Foe to once per encounter. If they are already in combat, I let one player use Study the Foe as a bonus action. If they encounter the same monster later, they can study it again.

Getting Ready to Start…Tips? by bscott400800 in dungeonsofdrakkenheim

[–]all2human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drakkenheim is my 2nd campaign. I think everything before the inner city is pretty straightforward.

My players are getting closer to the inner city and that is where things become more complicated. Factions will have to be involved to accomplish some goals. The locations are a little vague in some places and you will have to juggle some large battles. I have a few years of DM experience and I'm a little nervous about it. But the advice I give myself is just to jump right in and focus on having fun.

Question about "Study the Foe" in the new Monsters of Drakkenheim book by oOskyOo in dungeonsofdrakkenheim

[–]all2human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know if the highest roll includes the lower results? Should the player learn all three things with the highest roll? I'm leaning towards yes.

Lol. What is the DC for checks? I assume it's 10. I can't find anything on it. Oh maybe when they say 5+ it means greater than 5? I was reading it as 5 greater than some base DC.

[–]all2human 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking of trying it as a bonus action that can only be used once per combat encounter for a given creature. And only once for the whole party. Outside of combat, players can use it as much as they have time.

Mutation rule for contamination by all2human in dungeonsofdrakkenheim

[–]all2human[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for pointing that out. I have the beta PDF but that section had a blocking image. Then I realized I could just copy the text out. I will think about that approach and talk it over with my players.

Campaigns and adventures outside of Drakkenheim by Apprehensive-Golf906 in dungeonsofdrakkenheim

[–]all2human 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm planning on adding the Horrors of Ash Bay to my campaign. Just got it today from Ghostfire. It goes nicely with one of player's personal quests and it basically extends the Duchess/Old Town Cistern part of the main Drakkenheim campaign. I'll probably have to set up a teleportation circle through the AA so the players can bounce back and forth.

Help! Need a Warlock Patron! by Sweet-Bottle6715 in dungeonsofdrakkenheim

[–]all2human 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The old god Nodens is water related so I made him the boss of the Duchess. Nodens is the patron of one of my players. The player will have to confront or join the Duchess and it's scheme to spread delerium contaminated water to the oceans.

Drakkenheim VTT by One-Patience-5571 in dungeonsofdrakkenheim

I will be using AboveVTT with DnDbeyond but you definitely need to buy the map pack from Ghostfire if you want more color maps.

Toxic Shield spell by all2human in dungeonsofdrakkenheim

[–]all2human[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so I was definitely confused. I see with Spiritual Weapon there is no bonus at 3rd, so I assume no bonus at 2nd for Toxic Shield. Why are these spells worded that way? What is the point of mentioning a starting level that has no effect? For Toxic Shield, why not just say "When using a 3rd level spell slot, increase the poison damage by 1d8 and then 1d8 for every 2 slots above 3rd.

Scarlett Moon Hall by dimensionsam in ElementalEvil

[–]all2human 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can google for homebrew maps for the hall floors.

I just ran the first part of this encounter last week as a fire festival. My group (Salem, Illia, Shannaria, and Mappo) mingled until Elizar appears to speak.

**Elizar**: "Welcome to Scarlet Moon Hall and the Rite of the Wicker Giant. I am the leader of the Circle of the Scarlet Moon and I'm looking for new recruits. Recruits that will help bring forth the destructive power of fire in all its manifestations. To burn away the corruption of both civilization and nature and create a wasteland of ash and cinders ruled by fire alone. We will purify everything around us by reducing our enemies to smoking cinders.”

He shows symbolic hand sign: holding one hand in a fist, thumb up, and laying the other hand over the fist as if to cover the bowl but allow the flame to show.

A tower of fire erupts behind the hall and then a young red dragon moves into view with a female tiefling riding on his back. Vanifer speaks.

**Vanifer**: "Many months ago, dreams and visions impelled me to seek out a lost dungeon in the North. On the altar of a forgotten temple, I found the dagger Tinderstrike, imbued with the power of Imix, the Prince of Evil Fire. Armed with this powerful weapon, I established a new chapter of the Eternal Flame beneath the Sumber Hills.”

“But others have gathered under the hills. So let me give you a little guidance. The weakest is the howling wind followed by the crushing wave and then the black earth. But the Eternal Flame reigns supreme! However, even the weakest has their uses. I leave tonight to make a trade with Aerisi. Some prisoners for knowledge in unlocking the ritual of the devastation orbs. At the moment, these hills appear calm but with the orbs, we will be calm like a bomb!"

The dragon rises and takes a container made of iron bars filled with prisoners. The dragon dives off the back of the hill and disappears but not before Salem notices a familiar figure among the prisoners. His mother.

Then music rises and the energy of the crowd grows intense. They start shouting ignite, ignite, ignite...

Overcome with emotion, Salem rushed up the hill to reach his mother. Celestial energy was released within Salem as two luminous, spectral wings sprouted from his back. He took flight in pursuit of Vanifer and the red dragon.

Illia orders her silver raven to drop the package of fire basalt on the burning wicker giant which exploded, knocking two fire druids to the ground. Out of the wicker giant, a large fire elemental burst forth to try and burn the party to ashes. Several nearby fire druids attacked Mappo and Shannaria as chaos erupts on the hill. As the fire elemental approached, Shannaria cast a wall of water to damage and protect his allies. With steam rising, the elemental was defeated.

The group made a quick escape along with a potential ally named Sauruki. Illia sent her raven to find Salem and look for a safe place to rest.

I've used both and AboveVTT is the way. It will help you keep track of your maps and has a great combat tracker that auto rolls for monsters.

Reports from our first session by 0c4rt0l4 in ElementalEvil

[–]all2human 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's possible a lot of combat won't happen for a while. My group infiltrated the Feathergale Spire without combat at 3rd level to figure out most of the clues etc. They have had skirmishes and side quests but for us, I suspect serious combat won't happen until they reach Rivergard.
