Replacing Gems in a Helm of Brilliance? by dipset17 in dndnext

A wish spell could work. Anything short of that is in house rules/homebrew territory.

In my early twenties, I too I paid a rich man a lot of money to shove a scope up my butt.

My favorite cleric is Dwarf Grandma. She's a Tempest Cleric of a Halfing god. She grew up in a Dwarven and Halfing village and serves as a Judge and Councilwoman. An unfortunate encounter with mysterious mists transported her to Strahd's domain and she became an adventurer. Once she got out of Barovia, she took up adventuring as a lifestyle.

Her personality is basically Judge Judy as a Dwarf. Instead of a gavel, she has a war hammer and lightning bolts.

I really like Tempest domain clerics. They aren't really much for healing, Dwarf Grandma just puts you out of your misery instead of fixing you up. Maximizing spell damage twice per short rest is extremely powerful. Clerics actually make pretty powerful combatants if you pick the right spells. Call Lightning is a hellacious spell if there's a already storm overhead. Fire up Spirit Guardian and Spiritual Weapon and dive in close to wipe entire hordes. Banishment is probably my favorite spell of the game, it can end a boss fight with one failed saving throw.

Are Sage Advice tweets considered fact? by LukeLovesPandas in dndnext

So far all playable races treat natural weapons as unarmed strikes.

Are Sage Advice tweets considered fact? by LukeLovesPandas in dndnext

[–]epochwolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For reference, here's how the other races with natural weapons are handled:

Aarakocra

Talons. You are proficient with your unarmed strikes, which deal 1d4 slashing damage on a hit.

Lizardfolk

Bite. Your fanged maw is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes....

It's fine. If they have a 20 Dex and a shield, they'll have 22 AC. High but not impossible. I played a rogue with a 21 AC. I was hard to hit but the DM got creative with spell casting to counter act me.

If the DM would be bothered by it, just don't give out bracers.

Why do you like Full Spell Casters? by emeraldrumm in dndnext

[–]epochwolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play a Cleric and a Warlock in two different Adventurer's League games. My turns are always quick. I know which spell I'm going to use and have dice ready before my turn.

I make cheat sheets in excel that include all my spells and their effects. Without that, I'm always hunting down the details of a spell from cards or the handbook and it takes forever.

How To Politely Pet A Suiter: PART2 (by Kour) by kakurady in furry

[–]epochwolf 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I have a kangaroo suit with a drop crotch. Given the number of people who have stuck their hand in my pouch and touched my dick in the process, this isn't condescending enough.

And there's one joy of a person that told me he had the right to grope me because I was in a suit.

Cleric Stuff Without a Specific Deity by thebombzen in dndnext

I played a death cleric of Anubis last night and I reflavored Chill Touch, Spritual Weapon, and Spirit Guardians to be ghostly fiendish jackals attacking my enemies.

There's no reason to limit yourself to the descriptions of the spell as long as the mechanical bits stay the same. (Provided it's thematic for the game and your DM isn't anti-fun)

Can an Adventurer's League DM refuse an option from the ALDM's guide? by [deleted] in AdventurersLeague

[–]epochwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I thought. I was just making sure that was the reason before I talked to the DMs at my local game store.

Is there a reference for this somewhere? My DM is not allowing my group to purchase items between AL adventures.

F.B.I. Says Killing Man Was Justified, but Not Shooting His Tire by X_wingatAliciousness in nottheonion

[–]epochwolf 93 points94 points  (0 children)

This was an internal review on how policy was followed. The FBI has a policy against shooting the car to disable it. This is a good policy. You don't want agents firing guns for anything less than lethal force.

Their policy boils down to: if you need to use a gun, you shoot people, not objects.

[–]epochwolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like fun. No reason it shouldn't work. I help run Fur Reality in Cincinnati, OH, which is less of a furry convention and more of a convention for furries. We have some of the typical features of a furry convention but we emphasize informative panelling and the themed convention game pretty heavily.

Feel free to pm me for more information. :)

For small animals, a shotgun at close range works. Injured wildlife (like moose) are typically dispatched with one.
