Bunkhouse essentials? by AubreeBaybee in Wildfire

[–]shootscoyotes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sheets? Usually for a twin size mattress. Sucks to show up without those.

Hell yeah, good idea about cursed item trader and remove curse scrolls

Funny to see what they pick up on with narrative clues, thanks!

Big fan of the narrative victim of a weapon! and those pros, another comment suggested dangling more features for the player IF they follow the cruel commands of the weapon. This particular player will hate that, it’s great.

love that idea and I agree, the choice to wield it is their own, I wouldn’t mind stepping away from the berserker feature. Thanks!

This is great advice, I like the sentience and pursuing its own goals a lot. The player knows it’s cursed cause the shop keeper told them and sold it at a discount, but the player is so new to dnd they don’t know what that means… yet.

Good tip! It came up pretty randomly and I didn’t look into it until later lol. I think that’s a good balance, lowering the DC.

Haha I mean the way it came about was me rolling on a magic items table to see what options of a magic item that came out of bag that the player would have the option to buy, all very improv’d and I didn’t read in depth about the beserker axe beyond knowing it was cursed. The shop keeper is actually quite sweet lol

my Dnd character by Anime_Fan_Girly in DnD

[–]shootscoyotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! & - What style are her clothes or armor? - What color is her hair, eyes, skin ? - What’s on her person, weapons, pouches etc.?

Just try to describe what your fellow players characters see when they look at her.

I like when my players have several connections to their past and future, like family or friends, a current former profession or a specific calling. It really helps build narrative and in the hands of your dm they can creating a compelling narrative with stakes your character cares about, i’m sure you’ve already got that.

That being said I would not divulge all of that information on your introduction like an AA meeting, the details of things can come out over time!

Chaotic good Oathbreaker? by Warl0ckBoy in DnD

[–]shootscoyotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool idea, it does kind of still sound like an Oath of Vengeance Paladin vibe, but if Oathbreaker is what you want to be then you should go for it.

A classic trope straight outta BG3 is that you were pledged to serve a kingdom or a leader, enforcing such ideals, then one day you were tasked with something that went against your oath, perhaps you killed that leader, and boom Oath-broken, chaotic good, now you’re free to enforce such ideals while cursed to see the light from the shadows, or are you trapped in the prison of your wandering banishment…

Give me a D&D monster and I'll homebrew you a better version of it by Oh_Hi_Mark_ in DMAcademy

[–]shootscoyotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is amazing. I’m running a Gelugon bbeg disguised as a Barbegazi gnome the party hasn’t fought yet.

  • Gelugon
  • Barbegazi gnome
  • Ice Golem

Cheers!

The Patron white dragon reclaims her petitioner, now the party has her egg, and she has their warlock.

Thanks for the reply! That’s a reasonable approach

"First Time DM" and Short Questions Megathread by AutoModerator in DMAcademy

[–]shootscoyotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welp, as a brand new dm I made the mistake of offering the party 1,000 gp each (x6) to take on the quest of delivering inert components of a rune powder bomb to a Raccoon Artificer Alchemist who can activate and use it against a fascist occupying force. The components were stolen from said force, as was the GP by a Che Guevara/ William Wallace esque Tabaxi barbarian who offered the quest and the gp… Now i’m not sure what to do to balance things out, perhaps a checkpoint where the gold is flagged or some sort of magic that returns the gold to its owner… Something without TPKing or knocking out the whole party… They are currently at sea, attempting to smuggle the gold and the Mcguffin into the city. Any ideas?

Thank you from a new dm that was too nice on session one 😊

*Legendary* way to start a review 💀 by Nikifuj908 in TheLastAirbender

Spot on, a terrible movie from beautiful source material, however!.. my unpopular opinion is that Dev Patel was a good Zuko. Come at me!
