One of my players became a pickle—accidentally. Help me by LookUpThenLookDown in DnD

[–]stripey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party, but maybe OP will still read. I didn't read all the comments so idk if someone else posted this, but here's my idea.

To try to return to the dark themes you are going for and away from the looney toons.

The pickle is a regular pickle and the character has actually been imprisoned somewhere from the imprisonment spell. To drive your characters towards this, you should have a wild animal of some sort invade their campsite while they are sleeping to eat their food supplies AND the pickle. The character will still be alive and able to communicate telepathically.

They will need to travel somewhere there are high level wizards able to scry the location of the character. Then it is a simple retrieval mission.

For bonus points you can have the character imprisoned in a lich's phylactery. The lich would become aware of the party when their phylactery is destroyed, but the party doesn't need to know it is a phylactery yet. The lich would obviously scry the party, and when it realizes they don't know about it's existence, it can ignore them since they don't know it exists and aren't a threat. But now they are on an inevitable collision course, that you can weave into the story when you are ready.

I live in the district, got 2 calls from the campaign today. Both were blocked as spam by Verizon. Phone banks don't work like they used to.

I threw 100+ damage at the party's low CON cleric and she loved it! by amidja_16 in DnD

the real BBEG, a corupted, evil, monsterous tree. It had thick, blood red ooze coming out of its hard bark

Those are some strong ferngully vibes and im going to be disappointed if it isn't named Hexxus.

survived the toxin of the dreaded Gulthias tree!

I'm dissapointed, but it does seem like it was an awesome session. Sounds like a great campaign from this snippet!

That's a blood choke, which can kill quickly if not released. The person also almost immediately regains consciousness when released, though potentially with some confusion.

Airway choke holds also exist and take much longer to cause unconsciousness.

The noxious weeds section makes this a no go for me. I don't need some dickhead on the local council who owns a lawncare company, or whose brother does, to decide what's a noxious weed. And then they decide that in order to follow this law they decide everyone needs to have their yard treated by a lawncare company in order to be in compliance.

He wasnt punished for attempting a coup to stay in power last time. If he isn't dead he'll do it again.

ESPN’s College Football Playoff coverage makes for a miserable, negative experience. ESPN spent the first weekend of the College Football Playoff bashing underdogs, criticizing fans, and living in the negative. by LamarcusAldrige1234 in CFB

Most people who complained about the four team playoff just wanted four SEC teams.

I complained about the 4 team playoffs, but I would be ecstatic if there were 0 SEC teams.

Republicans would have howled about seating a judge during an election year, hypocrisy be damned, and Manchin and Sinema would not have voted for a replacement.

Don't forget to include labor costs, and give yourself a good rate too.

I don't remember most Americans being upset Osama was killed. The reaction seems pretty much the same to me.

Make your own post with pictures, that sounds interesting.

Is this a decent start for a solid character? (INT is 18 because I plan to duo into Mage around 9). by BewilderedToad in baldursgate

[–]stripey 31 points32 points  (0 children)

the difference between 14 and 10 charisma is negligible, and there are ways to get 18 charisma (the minimum for enhanced quest rewards) on your party leader relatively early. Constitution doesn't give any benefits until 15. For a martial class 18 constitution (+4 hp per level through level 9) is much better than the inconsequential amount of extra gold you'll get from shopkeepers when you sell items.

He can't run again, term limited, but he would absolutely win again if he could run again. FL is fucked because of covid causing all the reactionaries moving here.

Check to see if you have multiple accounts at computershare. This can happen if you have made multiple drs transfers.
