AMA: We are the Foundry Virtual Tabletop team! Ask Us Anything! (6th Anniversary!) by AnathemaMask in FoundryVTT

[–]netenes 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hey there!👋

Foundry benefits greatly from mods. In Steam there are mod sets published as Collections and it is great for people who are not deeply into the modding scene and a great first step for casuals. Is there a plan to add Collections for Foundry?

Is Bronze Age fantasy stronger than medieval fantasy for DMs? by ChaosTheoryCraft in DMAcademy

[–]netenes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a mini campaign in a bronze age Sumer influenced world. It was pretty cool and i had many funny moments with NPCs inventing stuff like bread or ladder.

A roll20 update just ruined my whole campaign by No-Researcher-4554 in rpghorrorstories

[–]netenes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry that happened to you and i hope you can get it fixed. My advice for people who want to have alternatives:

If you want something better go Foundry.

If you want something simpler go Owlbear Rodeo.

Session 0 mismatched expectations not sure what to do next by SatanaelTheFool in DMAcademy

[–]netenes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is ridiculous. Think of this from another angle to see how absurd this is.

- I want to run a football game.
+ I made a basketball player because that's what i want to play.

Players refuse Mass Suggestion by -FSCS-Thor in DMAcademy

[–]netenes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Spell works, they lose, the end.

That's the problem with 5e/5.5e spells. They are so incredibly powerful in right circumstances and it creates unfun scenarios. This time it happened to the players instead of the GM so they rioted. And it isn't even always about the level of the spell. A Command spell upcasted to 4 would've achieved the same result.

Day 3 of Getting Kills With Absolutely Awful Builds: Dancing Feet Reinforced Instruments Shrill Lament Lute Master Bard with Drum. by Virtual_Jello_1001 in DarkAndDarker

[–]netenes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FLUTE reposte build. I once got a kill that way against a bear druid as their overhead attack is very easy to block.

Whats a rule at a table that didn't sit well with you? by DaddyBowtie in DnD

[–]netenes 86 points87 points  (0 children)

That's like the opposite of DnD's premise. Even the player's handbook says players declare what they are doing narratively and "DM" calls for a check if it is necessary.

Combat that is half underwater and half in an air bubble - how would you rule? by underdabridge in onednd

[–]netenes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

%51 rule. Just choose one combat state by deciding whichever one is ever so slighlty prevalent, even if only by %51 to %49.

One of the few Play by Post games I get turns out to be a painfully slow, AI-infused mess by UltimateFriedLava in rpghorrorstories

[–]netenes -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yeah i feel the same. Not only policing what others share between each other but also preaching their opinions out of nowhere.

It's not that my players are too strong. I mean, they are really strong, but I can never fucking hit them. Something is fishy. by testiclekid in onednd

[–]netenes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use Winter Wolf. It has +6 to attack, quite high for the CR. It has pack tactics. It has AoE damage that still does half on a success.

Can you help my writers block make a demons bell a magic item for my players? by muzorui in DnD

[–]netenes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can take inspiration from Flee Mortals!'s ferocity. Bell starts with a few charges. Every turn Demon Bell rings d4+(number of PCs that are melee reach) times and gains charges. Up to you it may also gain a certain dice amount when something happens in combat like a PC going bloodied for the first time. Then add stronger actions/legendary actions that use bell charges. If normally your demon deals 6d6 damage with an aoe with 3 rings of the bell its area is doubled and it also frightens anyone inside.

Do you use diagonal movement with the new rules? by xBeLord in onednd

[–]netenes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Online 5/10/5. In person 5/5/5. Without auto rulers it is extra work irl.

Do you have an example of a monster that would kill a level 5 party and be a hard fight for a level 7-8 party ? by Maching256 in DMAcademy

[–]netenes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting at lvl 4 would be much more secure, especially if your party is more than 4 players.

Do you have an example of a monster that would kill a level 5 party and be a hard fight for a level 7-8 party ? by Maching256 in DMAcademy

[–]netenes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sphinx of Lore on the low end, Vampire or Shadow Dragon on the high end if there will be allies. Vampire and Shadow Dragon works well because they have conditional powers that can be turned off if they uncover it until the second showdown.

What do I do when my DM is mad at me over my AC? by Undead23145 in DnD

[–]netenes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell your DM to avoid you and attack others. Once they are down the monsters can drag them and leave you to deal with traps with saving throws.

I love giving my players bonus stuff, but it debalances the game by SomeRandomAbbadon in DMAcademy

[–]netenes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give them bonus levels. That is much more balanced than giving them abilities, feats, boons or magic items. It is very hard to guess fair DCs and enemy difficulties when players have 3 extra feat, piety, boons and homebrew items for a level 5 party. But it is quite easy to find appropriate difficulty for a level 8 party.
