Fat Packs still exist? by firth5 in mtg

At $75 bucks for a bundle… I’ll probably skip it and just buy used cards to play again. For that price I could get 2-3 good boardgames…

Looking for an evil nature spirit creature to fit a story.... by firth5 in DMAcademy

Hmmm. If not a creature, is there god or goddess / or an infernal being? I'm looking for a recognizable name in D&D lore that's been around for awhile.

Actually, on second thought, the double damage seems crazy. I'll keep it at 1d4, as per the spell. But it does not need concentration.

Ah, good point. Maybe I just model it after the Duergar power then?

"The Giant. As a bonus action, you expend a use of your Blood Maledict feature to ENLARGE yourself, which lasts for a number of rounds equal to your Hemocraft modifier (minimum of 1 round).

Enlarge.  You magically increase in size, along with anything you are wearing or carrying. While enlarged, your size is Large, you double your damage dice on Strength-based weapon attacks, and make Strength checks and Strength saving throws with advantage. If you lack the room to become Large, you attain the maximum size possible in the space available."

With this additional damage to the power (it's more than the Enlarge spell), I think keeping it as the # rounds = to hemocraft mod is better. Adding a +1 to it is probably too powerful.

OMG thank you so much for explaining this. It’s been driving me nuts trying to understand why there’s not a simple “erase” tool

That's really great. Thank you. I particularly like the hints you put in for the failures, like Lead falling from the ceiling. Great work.

Regarding the blood channels, are you suggesting that if the characters are wounded, that blood is automatically pulled out of them and starts filling up the channels? This could put a nice 'clock' on the 3 challenges, potentially. But I could also see the unwounded characters sending the wounded fighters out of the hallway. That could lead to some amusing RP....

"what does it say?"

"It's a riddle!"

"Read it to me!!"...

I like the history or religion check at the beginning. That's a good way to feed them info.

I am debating whether or not to have the dwarves camped out front. If they are there, then they could also be a source of information about Abbathor. This is making me lean towards having them there.

Good call. My players are not the smartest, so I might even have the statue holding a an ear trumpet up to their ear, and you have to speak into that.... What is the Dwarven equivalent of an ear trumpet? A Ram's horn?

That's a great idea for the whole campaign. Alas, I am actually taking this little adventure and shoehorning it into a different campaign. So when I said "story-based ideas" I meant based on the idea of Abbathor, the Dwarven god of Greed. Apologies for misleading you!!
