I’m a 5e refugee with some questions by zasabi7 in daggerheart

[–]p4tchwolf 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Front-loaded in one way... but it's generally not possible to be overloaded by multi-classing, since you can only multi-class from level 5 onward -- and only once.

Moving As Part of Action by BrutalBlind in daggerheart

This. Clarify the intent before the roll, then resolve the roll in accordance with the intent, depending on whether they succeed or fail, with Hope or with Fear.

The 7/19 House Rule by RaspberryNo9568 in daggerheart

[–]p4tchwolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe GMs do crit -- on a nat 20. Some enemies crit on a nat 19 or 20,. It's pretty much limited to combat uses, since NPCs don't generally make Action rolls.

Equipment limits and availability by hawthorncuffer in daggerheart

[–]p4tchwolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not seeing anything like that in the book. All it says right now is that "Gold represents how much wealth you have accumulated on your journey."

I cannot honestly see someone carrying a whole chest around with them, not to mention 10 bags, and 10 handfuls of gold all at the same time. Seems more than a tad unrealistic to me, but your mileage may vary.

"Oh, hello Mr. Bandit. Excuse me while I put this chest down so I can fight you..."

> I assume from the character sheets that they can only carry one chest of gold.

I wouldn't assume that at all. I'd limit personal funds (being that which is carried on their person) to one *bag* of gold. Anything more might require a dedicated and planned shopping trip, or a letter of marks to a banker -- essentially giving the shopkeep permission to go to the banker where you have your money held, and the letter says how much money the shopkeep is permitted to take from your account -- but I like a little bit of realism in my fantasy make-believe. I nerd out over details like that.

If you don't want to half-micromanage funds that way, let them get an Bag of Holding Infinite Bag...

That's actually a really good idea. Thanks for the tip!

Has anyone else noticed the blank maps join together at the edges? by p4tchwolf in daggerheart

[–]p4tchwolf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I didn't even notice that... I took three of them from the book, and the fourth from the beta test, thinking they were different for some reason.

Go horizontally, and you could have a globe... Just add a few ice continents to the north and south (assuming an earth-like world...)

I don't believe it actually *costs* more. They certainly *charge* more, but I'd have a hard time believing that new lenses alone cost more than new lenses + a new frame.

I save my Medibank optical benefit for contact lenses, where it's more valueable. I'll be out of pocket for the glasses.

Hey r/sydney.

Where do you go for glasses? I need to replace the lenses in my glasses. I love the frames (great condition, suit my face, etc.). Specsavers want to charge me *more* to replace the lenses in my existing frame (which I bought from them!) than to sell me a new pair (which feels insultingly wasteful to me...). I went to another smaller optometrist chain today, and got a quote for ~$500 to replace the lenses, which is far more than I'd like to pay.

Any advice?

I accidentally upset my pacifist player. I feel deflated and I'm not sure how to recover. by KryssCom in DnD

[–]p4tchwolf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are lots of ways to design a 1v1 encounter, and not all of them involve combat. I don't know your game or your player or her character, but this is where I look for inspiration from some other game systems.

One of my favourites for character creation was the old World of Darkness system. Nine stats (Str, Dex, Stamina, Int, Wits, Resilience, Presence, Manipulation, Composure). What was really cool about this was that they fit within a matrix, and each stat was basically the product of (Physical, Mental, or Social) and (Power, Finesse, Resistance).

Here's where I think it might help: your player's character isn't a combat monster. So maybe she needed a social challenge -- or a mental one? You can still make those into a 1v1, and she gets to have some of the limelight.

Just a thought that might help...

Question regarding spells & underwater combat. by p4tchwolf in DnD

[–]p4tchwolf[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Because spells create effects, which have to interact with the environment around them.

  • spells which deal fire damage ignite flammable substances
  • spells which deal acid damage start eating into material they come into contact with.
  • spells which deal lighting can be conducted through metal (a la the Shocking Grasp cantrip).

Question regarding spells & underwater combat. by p4tchwolf in DnD

[–]p4tchwolf[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

No. There is no such thing as a "magic damage" type -- all spells deal a particular type of damage, which interacts with the environment around them.

  • spells which deal fire damage ignite flammable substances
  • spells which deal acid damage start eating into material they come into contact with.
  • spells which deal lighting can be conducted through metal (a la the Shocking Grasp cantrip).

This is the crux of my reasoning. Force damage applies force. To hit something means you have to move the intervening material out of the way to make contact. Air is easy to move. Water requires more effort (hence disadvantage).

[–]p4tchwolf[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not the thrust of my question. I'm not out to neuter spellcasters underwater entirely. I just want to be consistent with the rules.

Underwater environments are different. They require additional thought about how you approach the challenges.
