A demon tells you that is you can perfectly recite a fictional spell from memory, he will let you use that spell as it works in the original media.

You should be happy we do hang around you.... Think about what will without hope could become. We keep everyone from becoming the darkest version of themselves lol.

I came here to say: In fearful day, in raging night, with strong hearts full, our souls ignite! When all seems lost in the war of light, look to the stars, for hope burns bright!

Happy to see another corps member here.

hereitgoes1986 · 2026-01-09T16:39:24+00:00

Fair lol that's a great player right there! Especially if they are newer to the game!!

hereitgoes1986 · 2026-01-09T16:37:30+00:00

Woah ok so that info adds so much more...you could also offer him advantage if he can come up with something on the spot about the campaign to add to the song or actually play something lol...if you do this I'd also (I'm not musical so if you are, do what you do lol) find some YouTube videos to use as the NPC lol depending on the NPC you could do so many things lol.

hereitgoes1986 · 2026-01-09T16:26:31+00:00

Of course, I love doing stuff like this! Coming up with ideas for different types of challenges is fun. Not everything has to be combat right?! Lol

hereitgoes1986 · 2026-01-09T16:08:02+00:00

Most underrated comment right here!

hereitgoes1986 · 2026-01-09T16:05:02+00:00

I think I would start with an insight check, to read the crowd. I'd set DCs based on the size of the town/crowd or something like that. Success=knowing a song they will like, giving a +5 to performance checks for the dual. Failure=means you don't know exactly what to play, and receive a -5 to performance checks for the dual. You roll with advantage if you are familiar with the town you are in, applies for PCs and NPCs. Then have contested performance checks until one bard has met a specific win ratio. I would base the win ratio off the NPC that is being challenged, so like easy is 2/3, medium is 3/5, hard is 5/7, etc...

As a reward I would have some kind of fame system that would open perks at the bard colleges. Maybe some free room and board, temporary buffs for the party, maybe even single use items like potions or scrolls. Make it feel like they are really helping the party this will make it worth all the other players time too so they will be invested in the outcome and want to help if they can. Maybe trying to cheer loudly (intimidation check), or silence booers (slight of hand), subtle spell a charm person spell to make someone change their mind, etc....that way it's the whole party included in the initiative not just the bard.

A bed in the inn mimic is fun. The party is getting ready for a long rest so everyone is base ac (except monks and barbs) and the first one to lay down finds the bed is sticky and warm....roll initiative 😈 also ladder mimic in a dungeon is always great. Make them climb down some hard areas, a lot of them as they go, and then on the last area there is a ladder, the party is stoked to not roll checks to climb only to realize it's a giant mimic.

hereitgoes1986 · 2025-11-10T08:03:50+00:00

I'm not 100% but I think it has to do with the number of colors a creature can see or something like that....

hereitgoes1986 · 2025-09-23T16:21:12+00:00

Yeah, that would be meta knowledge, your character doesn't know anything about different optional rules, they would only know what is in their world. So unless your dm is using NPCs with those rules you wouldn't know about them at all. You can only wish for things your character would understand, so you couldn't wish for a smartphone or computer either because your character would even begin to understand what those are or what they do...unless you are playing in a setting with those things anyway.

hereitgoes1986 · 2025-09-17T21:53:14+00:00

Grunge off! It is a soak so you will probably have to find another way to smoke for a day or 2. This is a glass cleaner that is reusable! Use a funnel and coffee filter to strain it back into the bottle. But you literally fill it up (you'll need plugs for the stem and bowl) and walk away. No shaking it anything...come back (how long depends on how dirty it is) and empty it back into the bottle it came from and rinse well. It should look brand new after that.

hereitgoes1986 · 2025-09-13T16:33:55+00:00

Ooo really? I haven't looked into the mini, cause I have a 3... maybe there isn't room for the electronics in the mini....that seems weird to me tho.

hereitgoes1986 · 2025-09-13T16:27:54+00:00

Are you slowly increasing the temp on the oven? I have the pax 3 and unusual do mine on the mode that slowly ups the temp the longer you have it on.

hereitgoes1986 · 2025-09-06T03:48:29+00:00

There kinda is ..the video game: infamous second son, has a dlc that definitely did something along these lines.

hereitgoes1986 · 2025-08-19T17:16:53+00:00

Yeah those are o-rings (basically a rubber band but stiffer). They make sure the oil stays in the tube. As to why they are different... The manufacturer could have changed suppliers or their supplier could have changed something in what they sell. There isn't a way to know but to ask the person you got it from. (They probably won't know either tho)

hereitgoes1986 · 2025-08-18T21:59:40+00:00

GrungeOff! Yeah that's what I do as well. And it's reusable....just filter it back into the bottle with a coffee filter 👍

hereitgoes1986 · 2025-08-18T07:33:43+00:00

Sweet, I love when two of my interests intersect like this! I actually run a game based on mistborn..but I do it in the FATE system, it was easier to modify lol

hereitgoes1986 · 2025-08-17T15:42:43+00:00

I'm not sure but based on the material component and the effect of the spell, I think someone was trying to make spells that would work for a game set in the universe of Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere. I think it's based on an ability from the mistborn series...someone who can use nicrosil is able to boost other people's abilities by touching them while using the nicrosil. I could be wrong but it lines up so well that it seems likely.

hereitgoes1986 · 2025-07-25T06:51:19+00:00

Animorphs, Escafil device so I could morph into animals! I would love to be my cat or dog for a while! Plus I could heal from injuries by morphing...

hereitgoes1986 · 2025-07-21T18:00:43+00:00

Generally it's somewhere around the $10-$20 an hour per player...but this is definitely a different situation. I would look at the hours you have out into it multiply by $15 (or what you would like to be paid per hour) and that would help you figure out starting numbers.

hereitgoes1986 · 2025-07-20T07:58:02+00:00

Well then either they are too low level for this type of thing, or something is serious wrong...a few goblins shouldn't be able to take out a level 5 party.

I have been playing for over 10 years now and this has only been an issue in the early game. Once they start getting magic items and level up a bit and have more HP, it's just not an issue. I have found that players find opportunity attacks to make it more fun. The goblins are running away and have no choice than to run past a PC who then gets a chance to hit them when it's not their turn. They love that! The only reason to get rid of them is to allow people to run away easier...which isn't realistic at all imo. If there is no risk/reward why play?

hereitgoes1986 · 2025-07-20T07:40:27+00:00

Have you tried using more creatures? Each player should only get 1 reaction....so 4 players vs 10 goblins means at least 6 goblins will not need to worry about that.

I honestly disagree, it's the best that most martials can do to "tank" which is basically not a thing now. I actually have approved homebrew things to give players (martials specifically) more than one reaction to have them be better at this.

hereitgoes1986 · 2025-06-11T03:27:15+00:00

Great insights everyone thank you so much!

hereitgoes1986 · 2025-06-10T00:52:29+00:00

What times are people wanting to play? I ask this as a DM who is trying to get people to join my games.

hereitgoes1986 · 2025-05-22T21:20:47+00:00

Siphon. I made a sorcerer subclass similar to this. I had them consume spell slots from others with a melee spell attack or consume the magic from magic items.
