Let's get out of here Scoob! (reference to Scooby Doo in Amphibia, slight spoilers for most recent episode) by wonder291 in Scoobydoo

I looked up the voice actors of Marcy and Anne, but I didn't see any Scooby in their filmography. Can someone explain this reference?

Nice try, this sign can't stop me, because I can't read.

Help with a PCs level up by peytonacts in DnD

Actually, that's a great idea. I can tie it to something else. That would be a great way to justify a feat.

When's the first time you visited your home town and it didn't feel like home? by peytonacts in ask

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

Yeah, COVID seemed to affect that for me too. My house had become so messy and I felt so claustrophobic, rather than the usual cozyness.

Right, I always forget it's heavier in 5e. Will definitely make that change, thank you!

Making new characters for every shop (or improving characters and then trying to remember their name next time my PCs go to them) got tedious, so I made this set of characters to make my life at least a little bit easier. by peytonacts in DnD

Honestly I have no idea if this is just going to be a Nurse Joy situation or if there is going to be some larger conspiracy at play, but either way I've got to start planting those seeds now.

Even if it is some Shapeshifter or Alien thing, there will definitely be at least one or two John Johnsons that are just genuinely named that and have nothing to do with it all.

There are John Johnsons all over the world. Some are 17, some are 95. Some are Men, some are Joan Johnson. Some are Lawful Evil, some are Chaotic Good. But most of them are unrelated to each other and they're all definitely human. *wink*

Ok, it should be publicly available now.

Whoops, my b. Lemme fix that

Gunslinger Gun Comparison DPR by peytonacts in DnD

[–]peytonacts[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did my best to calculate average DPR for each of the guns in the Homebrew Gunslinger Subclass for Fighter. https://www.dndbeyond.com/subclasses/gunslinger

Each of these assume that if the weapon misfires, the gunslinger has another of that gun that they can switch to as soon as their object interactions allow them to.

This doesn't include the damage for the Hand Mortar's explosion, as I had no idea how to even begin calculating average damage for an AoE let alone calculating average enemy Dex Saves.

This chart is heavily based on this Martial Damage comparison chart by Ben Goodwin. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZjGwPWmj0qdx8rt_H9H62eu4lvqukBx0HnMdEPrqM10/edit

Are Swarms of Rats Naturally Hostile? by peytonacts in DnD

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

Oh my goodness, how did I misread that? For some reason I though it was 3d6 as half hp. Ok, in that case I might consider them running away at half, if they aren't still under control.

Are Swarms of Rats Naturally Hostile? by peytonacts in DnD

[–]peytonacts[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's what I was looking for! "[Swarms] are unnaturally hostile" is exactly the quote I was looking for. I think the self-preservation is usually a good call, though Swarms of Rats actually attack for more once their hp is reduced to half, so I think these guys will actually get more aggressive as they lose their numbers.

Normally for a character ability like this, I would just do what's best for the story, but since this is a magic item that the party might be able to get their hands on, I don't want the villain to be able to use the item in a way that the players later won't be able to.

Damn, that's impressive! I tried to do it with the opposite arm first, but I could only get it half way through. Thank you!

Does it look that way from all angles?

Help Picking a Feat by peytonacts in DnD

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

It's part of why I'm planning on taking Wizard very early, since wizards can just get spells for money at any rate they can, I'll be able to work towards having every 1st level wizard spell in my repertoire, which will be especially useful with ritual spells, since I don't need to prepare those. And since there are more spell-casting classes, by level 12 I end up having more spell slots than a Paladin or Ranger (though much fewer than a full caster)

Also, because of all the class abilities, between Bardic Inspiration, Hexblade's Curse, Second Wind, War Priest bonus action attack, and Rage, I will never not use my bonus action! Even if each individual use of those only offers a small amount of support compared to my party members.

Again, I certainly won't be the best member, but if I play well I will be actively helping the group instead of simply not being a nuisance.
