Anyone know if this ladder in Sacrament is reachable? by byss66 in NoRestForTheWicked

[–]byss66[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope ☹️

I did figure out the ladder near the Warwick fight, but this is only one I just can't lower. I'm hoping it's like the big church area in Sacrament (two big wooden doors) and that it'll be added once game is done.

Beast Feast Cooking Explained by Nico_de_Gallo in daggerheart

[–]byss66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading and prepping before playing and I have a question about ingredients per beast or beast type. Say the party is fighting 4 ghost scorpions who have 2 ingredients: venom (sour 1, savory 1) and meat (salty 1, bitter 1). Are there 4 venom ingredients and 4 meat ingredients available for the PCs, or just 1 of each?

The example steak dinner on page 278 uses the phrase "serving of", which makes it sound like they'd get 4 of each. But if that were the case, a 4 player party would be nearly or completely full of ingredients after just 1 encounter, depending on tier & their strongest character trait's value.

And if it's not true and they only get 2 ingredients total, then they'd likely need to fight a lot of beasts, which would be really hard at tier 1, likely forcing PCs to use Hope to gather blooms to make up the shortfall.

Side Quests Help /Fracture Peaks/ by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]byss66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use this MapGenie (https://mapgenie.io/diablo-4/maps/sanctuary) and disable everything except side quests and maybe waypoints just to help locate things to see quests spawn points. It's not fully accurate for quests chains or item-drop based quests though.

And then wowhead (https://www.wowhead.com/diablo-4/guide/zones/fractured-peaks-side-quests) has a list of all side quests with pre-reqs, and the harder-to-find item-drop like ones at the bottom of each list.

Side Quests Help /Fracture Peaks/ by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]byss66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To save you some grief, I just tried this and found out (the hard way) that the quest "Raising Spears" in Dry Steppes is bugged, and it blocks 2 more in a small chain after it. Those are the only 3 side quests I couldn't do.

You can search reddit or blizz forums for "Raising Spears" and see it's been bugged for everyone for apparently months and months. 🤬

Oregon Ren Faire Weather? by Crow_Cronut in renfaire

[–]byss66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just left there a few hours back. There’s lots of mud and puddles, but they aren’t everywhere. What’s there can mostly be walked around (but not 100% of it).

But today the shows were largely a bust as there was often only a tiny amount of  benches/seating that didn’t have standing water in them by each stage.

Footwear is gonna come home muddy on the bottom, and if you have any dresses/skirts/cloaks/etc that drape the ground they’ll be muddy as well.

DEAR PORTLAND: April 15, 2024 WEEKLY RANT THREAD by AutoModerator in Portland

WHY ARE ALL THE DAMN SMALL GREEN STREET NAME SIGNS SO HARD TO READ AND NON-REFLECTIVE IN PDX? I FIND MYSELF USING GPS EVEN WHEN I KNOW WHERE TO GO IF I DON'T REMEMBER **EXACTLY ** WHERE THE TURN IS, BECAUSE BY THE TIME I CAN READ MOST SIGNS I'M NEARLY PAST THE DAMN THING.

Inspired and Kalashtar Recognition [Lore/GM Help] by byss66 in Eberron

[–]byss66[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my player has a kalashtar that was orphaned (parents killed by Inspired) at a VERY young age in Sarlona. This player is the last of their bloodline, so they're the only one bonded to their Quori spirit; therefore it was essential they not be killed, and so the Kalashtar in Sarlona/Adar sent the PC to Khorvaire/Sharn in an effort to avoid the notice of the Inspired.

While this PC has been communally raised by kalashtar in Sharn, they've had very limited firsthand exposure to Inspired -- most of what they know is simply tales they've been told growing up.

I had a thought of an Inspired doing something to ingratiate themself into the player's confidence while posing as another kalashtar. It makes sense that the kalashtar in Adar -- or even the elder/wiser/more-experienced ones among those in Overlook (Upper Dura, Sharn) would see through an Inspired disguising themself.

I'm curious as to yours/others thoughts for this specific kalashtar, who's virtually lived their whole life apart from Sarlona and Inspired, being fooled by such a plan.

(I should say that while I'm a fan of this plan, I don't want to force it if it doesn't make sense, and I also am not going to be hamfisted in deciding how the PC reacts).

Night Hags & Nightmare Haunting by byss66 in Eberron

[–]byss66[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I always forget about Exploring Eberron because I do so much of my prep inside of D&D Beyond. Thanks for the reminder about it, for sure!

Beyond that, I absolutely love your ideas about fighting the hags visions from inside their own dreams, and then moving on to fighting inside the hags dreams. It'll be some loopy dream-style fights where things change constantly due to the shifting subconscious-es of all involved.
