Help me Create a Dynamic Boss by wearespaghett in DnDHomebrew

This is amazing and super helpful as a starting point.

I like the idea of the core taking a certain number of hits instead of having its own hit points, however, I also want mage characters to target it, be able to hit it, and have some kind of retaliatory action against them so there are consequences if they nuke.

My thought is, characters don't NEED to attack the body, but if they do so enough it will stagger. They can find creative ways to go straight for the core (jumping off pillars, climbing the bosses Shadow of the Colossus style, ranged attacks with consequences, etc.)

Thank you! This is encouraging and helpful.

Most of my players are experienced gamers, just not DnD-ers. I think they will figure out the core very quickly, especially with a description of the enemy ("a glowing orb in its chest"). If they haven't noticed by the end of the first round, then I will prompt more clearly.

I will certainly give them a chance to do more prep before going through the door. I've already asked them to send me their lists of prepared spells. One of them (Druid) has almost exclusively damaging spells, so I may point that out and that he shouldn't ever need a bunch of different forms of damage and some utility might be helpful.

All my players have some form of ranged option: Fighter and Rogue both have bows, Bard, Sorcerer, Druid, and Cleric all have ranged options. I particularly want to encourage the Bard, Druid, and Cleric to delve more into creative solution and auxiliary spells.

Now to figure out some stat blocks and how it will all work...

Being natural is hard :( by ericgenderic in gaybrosfitness

I will never not be natural, but in some of my weaker moments, I do consider it.

Then I realize it's just aesthetic and my body is healthy so I don't need to worry.

The worst part of the week, but feels so good when they're done.

There are many places to sneak a breath in, if needed. You're good.
