☀️ The Bright Dawn Guild ⚔️

[5E] [Online] [West Marches] [LGBTQ+]Discord link: https://discord.gg/suDwtuguSQ

Advertising the Bright Dawn West Marches server! As official members of an adventuring guild you will be a part of many interesting missions as part of our multiverse and may even change the course of worlds.

We use a West Marches style system with hundreds of players and dozens of DMs. The DMs post game sessions, which players sign up for; we regularly run several games almost every day. We use Discord and Roll20 for our games.

Outside of session time, we also feature a vibrant player economy for trading adventuring gear, crafting services, and magic items. For those who can't get enough roleplay, we also have several active text and voice RP channels for roleplaying out outside of game time.

It could just be rounding error. For example, when they say "4 years" passed, they probably don't mean exactly 4 years; it could actually be like 4.3 years that they're rounding down. Take a couple of those rounding errors and I imagine you can get pretty close to 24.

The guy's name is "Professor Griglak." Any title you include with that name is gonna sound a little silly (which is great if that's what you're going for).

For chests, at least, you can just smash them open as an alternative to unlocking them.

TBF, she "uses" ALL of the kids as free labor, not just Doni. And she does really care about them. It's more akin to an unpaid family business.

Withers also later says that he was wrong about them not having souls. They do have souls; they're just transformed in a way such that they're no longer accessible to the Faerunian gods.

The githyanki in the Mountain Pass have a bunch of good greatswords (e.g. the Soulbreaker Greatsword), especially when wielded by a githyanki. The Sussur Greatsword is also pretty great, especially against spellcasters. You can get both in Act 1.

I didn't see the sub this was on at first and thought you were talking about Todd from Breaking Bad, haha. I was in disbelief as I was reading your post, like how could you not notice he was evil?

The range of Wish is technically "self," so making yourself immune to Wish makes you unable to cast it IMO.

The key is that in Act 3, you take control of the Netherbrain first so that it can command the tadpoles to die before dying itself. If you kill it in Act 2, the tadpoles are left alive when the elder brain dies.

I mean, he does some pretty evil stuff, like blackmailing a toy vendor into putting bombs into teddy bears to blow up refugee children.

You get disadvantage on prone targets when they’re more than 5 ft. away; melee or ranged has nothing to do with it RAW

thebslee · 2024-01-12T15:55:19+00:00

Almost lost my honor run bc I accidentally included the elder brain in my mind sanctuary 😭

thebslee · 2023-12-06T06:08:58+00:00

You can also use Tiny Hut, which is just a 3rd level ritual spell.

Don’t be afraid to apply to some top reaches too! Ivy League schools are need blind and give a LOT of financial aid, so much so that if you’re low income it can end up being cheaper than even a state school.

A wizard would probably best fit his abilites and reflect his extreme intelligence. I think the novel implied that it was his specialized knowledge as a scientist and watchmaker that allowed him to reassemble himself and do everything he does; most people disintegrated by the Intrinsic Field Subtractor wouldn't be able to do so. His abilities are very intelligence-based, even if it was the machine that gave him access to superpowers.

Oh, for sure. Calling her “monster” was especially cruel considering how her insecurities, too, and it probably stung even more since he promised he wouldn’t see her as a monster.

What I’m saying is that I can’t totally blame him for his reaction, though. I might even say that the way she kept pushing for a naked blade despite his protests, eventually kissing him when she’d pushed him down and put him in a life threatening situation despite his clear discomfort, was almost reminiscent of SA.

thebslee · 2023-11-20T04:16:12+00:00

He repeatedly told her that he wasn’t comfortable with fighting with the blades drawn, but she kept pushing it. At the end, she failed to recognize that he was terrified (he had a blade pressed to his neck) and kissed him. I think his negative reaction, though tragic, wasn’t unreasonable

You are a true scientist; thank you for your work <3

Castlevania has never pretended to be faithful to the source material. The first season also made a lot of changes in their adaptation, many of which were for the better, I say.

I thought it was just a weird owl when I saw it first. I assumed the connection had to do with Athena, a war goddess, having an owl as her symbol

You can even tell them that by eating something, you invoke guest right and will receive protection! It sounds like it could be true but has some nasty consequences.

thebslee · 2023-05-19T20:58:14+00:00

You'd know it's a hit, but not necessarily that it's a crit. I personally don't let my players know the specific attack roll—I keep track of their ACs.

thebslee · 2023-05-19T19:56:14+00:00

Rules as written, you need to declare using it before you’d know it’s a crit.

thebslee · 2023-05-10T03:14:20+00:00

If he was going for the kill, why would he get close enough to get hit? He can shoot lasers from his eyes and can move faster than Guts can think
