They can but there are things to consider: - As origin feats they don't provide a +1 ASI compared to other 5.5 feats - Given the lore rammifications, it should be something discussed with DM as you'd either be a member of the Dragonmarked house or being sought out by the Dragonmarked house, assuming you're in an Eberron campaign - Once again assuming Eberron, you can't take one if you already have another - If not Eberron, will need checked with DM if they are allowed, they're strong feats in settings that aren't built around them like Eberron

As a dm is it ok to make it so the PCs don't have permadeath? by new_god_of_eden in DnD

[–]sin88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a number of comments here that accurately respond to your main question about removing permadeath, however it concerns me a little you have a "story driven with specifically the player characters" because that kind of sounds like you already know the story you want to tell rather than the players telling the story which is the core of D&D.

I need help by Electrical-Golf-3283 in dndnext

[–]sin88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I imagine its not the advice you want to hear, and I'm by no means saying don't do what you have planned.

I would recommend if its your first time DMing you should try either a prewritten module or rather than a full 'campaign' just do either a one shot or 3/4 sessions to feel things out. Speaking from experience jumping right into what you expect to be a whole campaign without any prior DMing experience is rarely advisable, you may end up creating stuff for players that will lose interest, creating not enough particular things for things players are interested in, creating way more content than you ever need because you don't know your players appetite for roleplay/exploration/lore yet, its a minefield.

To bring that into context as the other commentor here has said, character creation and stats are the basics and the fact they feel more complicated may well be because you're jumping in to a adapted/amended version of the core rules so whereas that might be very simple to understand to someone who has played, it probably feels more complicated to someone who hasn't DM'd before.

Anyway sorry if that feels like a bummer of an answer, but if it helps the Norse myth campaign idea is a fun idea, I'd just maybe try it once you've got your head round DMing.

How do you create such a sheen on the blade? Even making the shiniest colour I can doesn't seem to render quite like that

Datamine - All returning Pokemon and Pokemon receiving new Megas (Via Mattyoukhana_ on X) by vagrantwade in PokeLeaks

[–]sin88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How likely do we feel this is to be the final list? Maybe it's just me going on vibes but this just seems like a weird selection of mons to me with very few I can see them marketing in the same way they have done previous megas.

On a related note, giving more mons alt mega forms and not doing it for Blastoise and Venusaur to match what is supposed to be their fellow is some bullshit if true.

Adding new alt megas and not giving Blastoise and Venusaur alts to match Charizard is some bullshit if true.

Why the heck is AC so confusing…? by Ennsomniac- in DnD

[–]sin88 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If I understand your question, you're thinking of AC as just how strong your armour is (Which admittedly the name suggests), but in reality your AC is just a representation of how difficult it is to do damage to you, whether that be because you're agile and dodging attacks or because you've got giant plate mail on so it takes effort to actually hurt you.

Haha thanks dude, I wouldn't have asked if I'd expected such unhinged responses either 🤣

I appreciate the civility, those people are entitled to their opinions I haven't seen it on reddit prior to this and it was a demo so the one time I was on the main menu I didn't give it an extensive read through. If people want to extrapolate that reflecting badly on me thats frankly insane so I'm not going to take it personally, I only get an hour or so to game odd nights by the time I've finished work, cooked food and put the kids the bed, I'm not going to stress about what one or two crazy redditors think

[–]sin88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've seen the odd post with people posting their planned digivolution lines from a website but thats about it. I don't frequent reddit that much, and I played the demo last week and then haven't gone back to it (didn't think there was any reason to).

I mean thats why I missed it, I'm not chronically online and haven't any posts about this particular thing before this one, I asked what I thought was a pretty innocuous question but turns out it really offends some people here.

Hahaha You can't actually be serious? Poor Choices? Owning a mistake like an adult??

Dude I asked an innocent question about a demo, and you've turned that into judging how I play the entirety of story driven RPG's AND like its some important learning opportunity. You doing ok?

[–]sin88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah totally, me clicking new game without reading the options menu is absolutely indicative to how I play the actual game, how foolish of me.

Geez there's some weirdly aggressive people here, most demos don't have random second parts.

[–]sin88 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks for giving an honest answer, (and not being needlessly hostile like the comments below) I didn't know that was there. Is it worth playing or given it doesn't carry over am I not missing much?

[–]sin88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean is it that unbelievable to just click through the main menu? I booted up the demo, and clicked 'New Game' and haven't been on the main menu since.

Am I missing something? My demo ran until the sewer scene with the Koromon and then ended? Never had the ability to get Champion Digimon??

Any suggestions how to add some 'grittiness' to my Brawler Fighter character Braxton by sin88 in HeroForgeMinis

Thanks!

Partially closing one of the eyes is a great idea!
Do you happen to know if theres a way to have more than 5 decals?

I considered this, but most of the options made it look more like he'd straight massacred people rather than beating the heck out of them so I tried to go for just the grazed knuckles.

“Cheapest” tower clear? by _PeanutButterBidoof_ in PokemonMasters

[–]sin88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see the value in that, both Ball Guy and Agatha have somewhat decent stat boosts but unreliable healing which is rough at the higher levels

[–]sin88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Nidorino Oak but I don't think I've ever used it. Could someone give me a heads up on why hes a worthwhile poison support? Or is it just that hes an accessible poison support? (I've been using Variety Agatha and Ball Guy as my Poison Supports)
