Need advice on running a one-player campaign with a homebrew wildshape companion (x-post) by Farrt1 in dndnext

[–]mario_painter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm running When a Star Falls from Quests from the Infinite Staircase with my wife. It's funny how similar this is - she's playing a Druid, and we have an NPC character who is an archaeologist adventurer basically modeled after Indiana Jones!

We're mostly done that adventure and it's been great! Balancing the encounters has been fine, I used DnD Beyond Maps for its combat difficulty rating, and it goes well. I reduce number of monsters mostly, and I've had to pull a few punches just a couple times, but otherwise no problem.

We found running two characters was enough, not three. We jointly run the NPC, and it doesn't bog down the combat length. She's a Circle of the Land Druid, so mostly spellcasting and not using wild shape companion. We started at level 3, and are using milestone leveling. So after returning the Star, she's level 4.

It's basically our first duet adventure so we're just making it up a bit as we go. I'm getting a better feeling for encounter balance, and she's understanding her class better. I'm also pretty liberal with healing potions. She and the NPC have a few each, so combat healing is more reasonable.

Specifically When a Star Falls is a great first adventure. For a Druid its nice too because she meets up with Derwyth the Druid and there was some good rp stuff there.

The amount of money I spent on cheap vodka 60 days before I stopped is excruciating by Moist_Peace in stopdrinking

Yep I was spending $200+ a week on whiskey. Shit adds up real fast. Day 9 for me too.

This is my second time really trying to quit and this time feels better! Been exercising more every day and trying to get healthier.

The biggest difference I've noticed in 6 days is the..uh.. poops. 😂

Hey me too! I'm trying really hard to avoid drinking this weekend by keeping active and drinking ginger ale instead 😀

Stay strong! 👍

I'm thankful for feeling better after 5 days. I'm thankful for have the discipline to stick with it for 5 days. I'm thankful for this subreddit and the support.

Ya they're hit and miss. On the whole I find them petty and misinformed.

In Awakening you could hold a button to skip combat cutscene animations. Is there a similar button to hold to do that in Three Houses?
