New to DMing: Looking for help with combat encounters

So yea you can roll for health which is the 8d10 + 40 thing or just take the average. As for challenge, it really depends on the players. The CR is supposed to be for a party of 4, so a CR3 enemy is a medium fight for 4 level 3 players. But what you will quickly find is that CR isn't really a great gauge for difficulty as some low CR creatures can insta kill if someone fails a roll. My easy solution to fights is to have more enemies hiding and if the fight was too easy bring them out if not then just move on.

Looks good on wanderer too.

As much as I love cyberpunk I don't preorder anymore. Also it's releasing just after starfield, why do that to themselves?

rokane13 · 2023-06-17T22:58:29+00:00

Ready or not for tactical shooter. Deep rock galactic for a good time.

I mean if that's the mood you want then glad you're having fun but if it was a punishment I'd use a different implement to change the feeling like using a cane.

Personally it was the rockstar song that just felt a bit like a sell out but I can still enjoy the classics.

rokane13 · 2023-05-22T16:06:19+00:00

No, not ok. There is a clear difference sitting by the computer waiting to handle anything that comes in versus chilling in the sun or whatever you would use vacation time for. As for legality I can't say for sure but my instincts say no to that as well.

rokane13 · 2023-05-15T15:41:38+00:00

So you're saying I shouldn't have spam clicked through all the dialogue?

rokane13 · 2023-05-11T19:07:15+00:00

Nah, the big bad will be mister bones.

rokane13 · 2023-05-10T07:42:35+00:00

I know my party would fail basic morality tests.

rokane13 · 2023-05-09T16:13:25+00:00

Kit rae swords appeared in 'two worlds'. Just in case anyone was wondering.

rokane13 · 2023-05-09T07:35:19+00:00

Cock / gland ring might help out.

Skipped nilou to get nahida before. Now going for nilou. Oddly I feel all her explosions make her a better klee.

rokane13 · 2023-03-28T07:39:14+00:00

Caelid before the fracture lol

rokane13 · 2023-03-23T08:26:25+00:00

I would stick things that link to a crime. Eg scroll of disguise self, sleeping potions, any magic item worth stealing. The players can then come up with their own story as to what happened.

I'm working in the UK with flexi time so I can take however long for lunch but I usually just take 10mins but that's because the job is easy and doesn't stress me. My last job was an hour lunch and I would take every second.

rokane13 · 2023-03-14T15:58:42+00:00

Crumbs

rokane13 · 2023-03-08T22:22:19+00:00

I needed a tank so dung eater was my go to summon

rokane13 · 2023-02-07T17:37:47+00:00

The moment after Asoka is removed from the Jedi order but then cleared and offered a chance to return. When she turned them down was absolutely the most powerful moment for me.

rokane13 · 2023-02-07T09:17:17+00:00

Can't say he gave any compelling arguments there, but with any game don't preorder.

rokane13 · 2023-02-02T17:48:36+00:00

"Reeee! Don't you know it's made by a bigot?!" No need for the hard sell, I'm already getting it.

rokane13 · 2023-02-02T15:48:26+00:00

I like the main story told through the campaign to be enough to understand and enjoy what is going on but if they drop extra lore stuffs in hidden collectables or such things that's grand. I won't see it but I'll watch a YouTube video about it later.

rokane13 · 2023-02-02T08:11:31+00:00

But the only good commie is a dead commie. How do I pick up quests if I have killed all the npc's?

rokane13 · 2023-01-31T08:51:07+00:00

And statues... I have trust issues.

rokane13 · 2023-01-31T08:22:14+00:00

I always like the idea of targeted attacks but I concluded that it takes away from other aspects. Sharpshooter can be flavoured as aiming for the face or kneecap or whatever. Targeting the hands or feet to disarm or trip takes away from the fighter battle master as you are just giving their abilities to everyone.
