What role does the Far Realm play in your campaign?
Is psionics done yet
>>46496314
never ever
What diseases/curses can I send against a party with a cleric in it?

Is it worth it as a rogue to take 4 levels of warlock to get Hex, GFB/BB, and the pact of the chain companion?
>>46496541
A curse that makes spellcasting impossible within 5ft of them
>>46496702
Why do you need 4 levels?
Also why don't be AT or pick magic initiate?
>>46496829
The main reason is because I want the improved warlock familiar. Beyond that is the Devils Sight and Eldritch Sight invocations are really useful for a rogue. Fourth level gets me an extra cantrip and ASI.
Also I am playing a halfling and my first ASI will be spoken for by a different feat.
>>46496893
Well, if you really want that ASI and warlock's familiar, then yes, I guess it's worth it
I'm taking my level 1 archer into the end of death house tonight. I'm a bit concerned
Hey,
I'm playing Lvl 2 Paladin, if I multi-class into a Warlock at Lvl 3, can I use Warlock slots to smite or vice versa?
>>46496932
Yes.
As an addition; is it worth multiclassing at Lvl 3?
>>46496945
Depends on your class.
If your class has extra attack, not really, wait till you have extra attack or else you'll fall behind the rest of the group.
If your class is "full caster", don't worry, cantrips improve with character level, not class level.
If you really need the ASI, wait till you have it.
It depends on what you want and what you're playing.
>>46496965
Well, I had the idea for a Paladin multiclass with Fiendlock, I know it doesnt usually work but it works with my character but I dunno if works mechanically
>>46497079
>I know it doesnt usually work
Its like the most common choice of mc. They compliment each other very well.
Hey guys, what's a good intro adventure? I've played a bit of rpgs already and have also GMed some short lived campaigns.
Now our groups wants to check out 5e and we want to try a premade adventure, to see how good they are.
>>46496924
Your DM did not give you a level after completing the first half of the house? Anyways, you should generally be fine if you have a solid party, but you will be very fragile. Death House is a very lethal adventure. Especially the ending.
>>46497158
Look into the LMoP. Its a great started adventure. Equal balance of RP and combat with enough of an open plot to allow for a solid sandbox feel. Also it ends at a relatively low level so it does not take as long to clear as other official campaign books.
Tell me about the first quest of your campaign.
You know, that thing you did back at level one.
>>46497356
Merchant's wife kidnapped, assumed bandits, surprise cult.
>>46497356
From the player perspective, if that's alright.
We had to fight off a Kraken.
>>46497356
The first quest of the most recent campaign we started was basically killing some bandits who kidnapped a rich nobleman. Was pretty fun. We killed their lookout party and broke into their treasure room before stumbling into some altar room where they had the nobleman tied up for some ritual. Then we had a big fight with the bandits and some cultist caster who was in charge of the bandits.
>>46497419
I don't run "rich noblemen" in my campaigns any more, apparently my players are to fucking stupid to understand the concept of "Adventures are rich beyond comparison, PC's even more so" and just rob 'em because apparently anybody with more than 10gp is evil capitalist scum or something
>>46497356
Had to clear a dungeon, where it proved we were ready to be heroes. (And show our DM we aren't shitbags who can handle playing off roll20)
>>46497356
Stagecoach stops at a roadhouse for supplies, finds it empty save for goblins. Rescues roadhouse's owner and stolen supplies, finds out something vaguely terrible pushed the goblins out of the east. Continue on to their destination which is the east.
>>46497356
Players were recruited to recover a porcelain doll that was a minor sacred relic. It had been "layed to rest" in an old temple to let the spirit inside rest. The temple became overran by a tribe of goblins so the church feared for the relic.
They also were able to turn in goblin ears for a bounty.
>>46496924
There's a room with 4 sets of full plate armor.It isn't cursed, shrinks to fit any medium creature, and can be removed from the room.
>>46497356
>OotA
>trapped in suspended cage above inky black lake-pond
>manage to obtain an improvised throwing knife from a fellow prisoner
>two of the prisoners mock a fight to get the guards' attention
>they fire a sleep bolt at one of the fighting prisoners
>other prisoner begins pretending to choke unconscious body (they faked being dead)
>guards run in to save her (dead slave does no work)
>we bum rush the guards and hop into the lake, narrowly escaping the giant ooze monster at the bottom
>>46497141
Yeah but it doesnt make much sense RP wise on most accounts
>>46497686
>Noble paladin realizes his family got its power through pacts with devils, the price? The soul of the first born, aka you
>>46497356
I had a short solo session to prep a new dm, i ended up fighting a some sort of rat man that i couldn't identify and where it came from.
>>46497731
The other way around works too
>you find out the power you've been utilizing this entire time stems from an evil entity and set out to stop this curse from being passed on
>>46497731
Now I wish I'd gone with that, I instead have gone with Paladin who believes the Fiend that he is following is an Angel Of Justice...
>>46497356
I'm running two campaigns:
-Ominous relic stolen from an excavation, adventurers hired to track down the thief.
Given directions to the first town were it surely stopped to rest.
The ended up getting a goblin henchman, who later got a giant spider to ride. Creep duo saved them multiple times during the final bossfight.
-Town in the North slowly taken over by old god-loving cult, who murder and mutilate for fun.
Players directed there separately, for different reasons, by ambiguous notes and orders. All of them are suspicious of each other. Most of the party doesn't even know the class of some players. Hijinks all over the place.
>>46497686
I am currently playing an OOtA paladin who is also a Fey pact warlock.
He is bound to the lord of the wild hunt when he unknowingly was caught in it. He uses the powers granted to him as a way to hunt the creatures that feed off of the innocent of the world.
>>46496310
Anyone else using the form fillable /tg/ sheet? Randomly while filling it out the font will change and I can't change it back. What gives? I'm using Foxit Reader to fill it in
>>46497356
The party had to track down and clear cave of twig blights so they would stop stealing wood and attacking the inhabitants of a lumber camp that was on the way to thier destination
>>46497931
I've used it and haven't had any problems. I'm using Adobe Reader.
>>46497955
Well, can't figure out why it keeps fucking up. Shame, I rather like that sheet
Also. general question. Natural weapons are considered melee weapons correct?
>>46498089
What is the context of these "natural weapons"?
>>46498107
Alter Self, mainly. If you turned one hand into a claw, would it qualify for the Dueling style?
>>46498133
No. Alter Self changes your unarmed strike, which isn't a melee weapon attack.
>>46498169
Oh, kinda lame. Does that mean you can't Smite with a claw hand either?
>>46498194
Correct. Unless your claw is classified as a melee weapon (as it is with monsters such as the Bear).
>>46498194
>>46498133
>>46498169
I should clarify, I was slightly wrong here. Unarmed Strikes are still "melee weapon attacks", but they are not "melee weapons."
Would a Vengeance paladin/Fiend warlock work as an Inquisitor?
Would be part of a shady zealot organization that binds devils and harvests their power to use it against the darkness of the world
Alternatively could just be a fiend pact warlock
>>46498202
>>46498218
Cool, thanks for the clarificationCharacter concept is now heavily nerfed but it's okay
Has anyone played the Adventurers league adventures in the Mega folder? Anyone knows if there is any good ones?
>>46498229
If you had a good dm. The warlock is all about exchange: what do you give up or do in exchange for the power your patron provides?
Typically this relationship is initially one of subservience on the players part. Not dominance. But if you trust your DM to tell a good story with the roles reversed, then go for it.
>>46496310
You know what role it plays if you've found the Yellow Sign.
I'm having fun DMing for a college group but one player has autism, a whiny lispy voice and disgusting facial hair.
Getting harder and harder to tolerate
>>46498286
It's not too much of a paradigm shift, instead of being a servant to a demon the character would be a servant of the inquisition, which has hordes of fiends chained up and harvestedBonus points if the inquisition is part of the church of Zarus
Dumb question: Are finesse weapons considered their own weapon property? I don't any classes that have proficiency with them.
>>46498426
>chained up and harvested
Is giving the Sun Soul Monk in my group a trio of Ancient Vampires to fight going too far?
>LG Paladin
>CN Ranger
>CN Ranger
>LG Rogue
What sort of hijinks can I expect and how can I make more interesting wilderness travel?
>>46498545
No class is specifically proficient with finesse weapons
>>46498545
Not really, but theoretically there wouldn't be anything stopping a class or race having proficiency in all weapons with the finesse trait.
>>46498568
Backstab the fuck out of those rangers, right now.
>>46498547
Nobody knows what an "Ancient Vampire" entails nor what level and gear the Monk has
>>46498620

>>46496541
a curse that causes a mysterious evil creature to hunt the cursed character relentlessly. the creature appears (from behind some bushes, from around the corner of a buildling, from over the top of a hill, from the road behind, from within a cave, etc.) every 2d20 hours. each time it appears, the creature takes a new random shape -- roll 1d8 for its race, 1d6 for its clothing, 1d4 for its age, and 1d2 for its sex:
>1 dwarf, 2 elf, 3 halfling, 4 human, 5 dragonborn, 6 gnome, 7 half-elf, 8 half-orc
>1 common clothes, 2 fine clothes, 3 leather armor, 4 mail armor, 5 plate armor, 6 naked
>1 adolescent, 2 young adult, 3 middle-aged, 4 old
>1 male, 2 female
the creature has a blank facial expression, never utters a sound, and makes no attempt at stealth -- it simply walks towards the cursed character. if it gets within 30ft of them, they must make a DC 15 wisdom saving throw, or become frightened until it is more than 30ft away. if they succeed, they must repeat this saving throw at the end of their next turn.
if it reaches them, it makes a single unarmed attack with +5 to hit, dealing 1d4+3 bludgeoning damage and automatically grappling them with supernatural strength (DC 15 to escape). this grapple also occurs on attacks of opportunity, and automatically becomes a restrain if the creature starts its turn already grappling them.
the creature has 12 AC and 15 HP with +0 to all checks/saves. if killed, it will appear to stay dead, but in 1d20 hours it appears again in a new random form.
nobody but the cursed character can see the creature, and curing the curse causes it to pass on to the curer
What is the best designed space for effective use of Guards and Wards? Assume 10 foot high ceilings.

The party was in a caravan of three wagons. Half of them were being sent into exile, the other half were going into wild lands as part of their back story. The wagon they were on got BTFOed by a manticore who flew low over the nearby woods and the guards of the caravan were systematically slaughtered by a swordsman who could command that manticore.
The party managed to bust out of the destroyed cage wagon, grabbed their belongings from the rear wagon, and fled into the woods, luckily making their way to the next town without being slaughtered.
How well does the Monk of the Long death hold up, at least compared to other monk disciplines?
Its a good fit for a (I promise not really edgy) character I've been wanting to play for a bit but a the same time that character could use other schools and still kind of fit.
I feel like Phantasmal Killer has Feylock/Goolock written all over it. Anybody see a balance problem with making that a Warlock spell for my group?
>>46498698
Lots of rooms overloaded with tons of death traps that are connected to important thoroughfares as well as to each other. This takes advantage of the effect at every intersection that makes you think you've taken a different path from the one you've actually taken. Even if the death traps are clearly visible, you could walk right into them, and when you walk out of one room of death the odds are good you'll walk right into another room of death.
>>46498863
It has some really flavorful, unique, and powerful features. It works fine, just be sure to not use your at-will fear when your party is near you.
I just suddenly had the urge to make a Long Death Monk/Undying Warlock multiclass. Is this a bad idea?
>>46498961
Yes, you'll be MAD as fuck
>>46496932
you can but you should definitely wait until you get your oath features to multiclass.
>>46498996
Most of my characters are MAD. I think I have a fetish...
>>46499042
Yeah but you'll be 4-stat MAD
DEX, CON, WIS and CHA
That's a whole lotta stats
>>46499060
Non-variant human and get a bunch of 14s?
>>46499060
>Yeah but you'll be 4-stat MAD
But that's just the first level of MAD, because everyone but the wizard and sorcerer need 2 stats plus CON.
>>46499124
Well if variant human was made for anything it was probably this
Godspeed you mad bastard
>>46497356
So the party's at a tavern (whodathunk), mostly drinking themselves into a stupor or picking fights, when they are approached by a dwarf. He speaks of a city to the north that has been locked down due to a plague outbreak, and he's looking to peddle a cure to the people therespoilers, it's horse piss. Journey is pretty standard, save for the Fighter trying to trying to strangle/kidnap a farmer who lent us their house for a night. Reach the city, dwarf gets the guards to let him (and by extension us since we're still on his dime) despite warnings. We get inside, and the gate locks behind us (not surprising at all).
Long story short, it turns out that it's NOT a plague afflicting the city, but a bunch of fairies that have cursed the citizens, turning them into beastfolk thralls. Center of the city is surrounded by a barrier, which is immediately suspicious, with four points within the city practically hemorrhaging magical energy. Each point (Hospital, Academy, Prison, Brothel) has some hulking beast to defeat which in turn weakens the barrier a bit.
All four guards go down, barrier goes down, we rush into the center of the city where a Fae Lord is sitting pretty in his new seat of power. He offers us a choice- join him and be turned into beastfolk champions and gain powerful boons, or stand against him and die. two of our party decide to accept his offer and the other three don't. THEN the fae turns into a dragon (damn you DM), then the traitors get nuked within the first two turns of combat, leaving the remaining three to get burned to death by the dragon.
The whole thing ended with one of the remaining players pulling out an eldritch summoning tome (looted from the academy earlier in the session) and ripped open a giant portal with the last vestiges of life to summon an astral horror. At this point it's a TPK but the combat plays out to the end with the fae dragon getting pulped, and an eldritch monster being loosed on the world.
Who's got the new Adventurer's League modules? Don't see them in the mega.
Looking for The Executioner, The Marionette, and The Seer.
>>46499142
Rogues only need dex (except for AT or Swashbuckler), fighters only need str or dex (except for EK).
>>46499142
Warlock, Assassin and Fighter are pretty SAD
>>46499182
1 through 5 are on the DMs Guild for $3 apiece. We have 1 and a playtest/convention version of 2. The rest will get added to the Mega when people share them.
Is there a viable way to make Pact of Blade Warlock work without mutliclassing?
>>46498922
I'm not sure how much you can get away with given the space limitations of Guards and Wards. With 10ft high ceilings you have 50 5ft squares of space to play with. Enough to fill corridors but not really rooms. Are any of the bonus effects worth messing around with? I figure it would be neat to have a safe room, and near the exit a suggestion to go back to the safe room, presumably getting them hurt further renavigating the maze.
>>46499232
In a way that just relying on Eldritch Blast wouldn't just be the better choice, not really.
>>46499274
You don't have to fill every single room, just at least one intersection that branches off to mostly death traps. And the suggestion goes on the far end of one of the usable paths to make them brave that deadly intersection as many times as possible. And the doors with illusions over them should be trap doors on the floor leading to death traps.
Hey guys, I'm helping my DM out with his campaign and we're looking to pull stuff from the 4e books for info. I'm looking for a link to download said stuff. I know this is a 5e general, but it's here so I figured I'd asked. Thanks.
>>46496310
It is a truly alien world full of Lovecraftian horrors. Psions can derive their power from the touch of this realm, but they don't have to, and warlocks can make pacts with it. Anyone who can cast Gate can get to it, but the tuning fork's frequency for plane shift is unknown.
>>46498863
I really like the Long Death monk. Level 3 ability lets you crush ants for a temporary HP boost (I like to play it up as my MLD getting a little bit of a rush from being so near to death), level 6 gives you fantastic control for hordes, level 11 makes you even harder to kill than normal, and level 17 makes you one of the best assassins in the game. I feel like that last feature doesn't mesh as well with the other features, but I can't fault being able to kill someone by brushing them as we pass in the street.
>>46499185
Strength fighter needs con for hit points, doesn't need dex for ac. Dex fighter needs con for hit points, doesn't need str for hitting fools. Two stats, not one.
>>46499274
Some test mapping suggests you could create a small grid full of pit traps that fall to a lower "safe" area where the only safe route through is behind locked and illusory doors, culminating in a suggestion to get lost in the maze again. Frustrating to assail without dispel magic, but without the fog it might become trivial.
>Guidance - You touch one willing creature. Once before the spell ends, the target can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to one ability check of its choice. It can roll the die before or after making the ability check. The spell then ends.
>Once before the spell ends
So if a single target has Guidance from two different sources, can that target roll one or two d4?
>>46499441
Spells never stack with themselves.
Extra attacks don't stack right?
(When getting the trait from different classes)
>>46499232
Yes but you need a couple of feats
You can go a few ways about it
Max damage: GWF and PAM
Can't touch this: Sentinel, moderately armored (use a whip, take repelling blast for extra lulz)
Rogue-lite: warcaster, TWF (use hex)
There are others but most require feats
>>46499497
They explicitly do not stack. It's in the chapter on multiclassing.
>>46499232
>>46499507
You're forgetting the option you should probably use: just being a ranged caster like normal and only using the pact weapon when cornered. Warlocks, bladesingers, and sometimes even valor bards and war clerics forget that they are still primarily casters, and while they can play at being fighters it will never compare to what their spells can do.
>>46499232
Yeah, be a Warlock, choose the Archfey patron, take the Pact of the Blade, and be a tacticool motherfucker.
You'll want to be doing most of your work with Eldritch Blast anyway, because it's your better option. Dex and Con will be your secondary stats, obviously Cha is still primary. Take Agonising Blast and Armour of Shadows because duh, then Thirsting Blade at level 5. Fluff your Eldritch Blast as your pact weapon taking the form of a bow or crossbow or whatever and firing out bolts of magical force, because why not? Once you hit level 6 you have a charm/fear aura and a 60ft invisibility/teleport combo as a reaction from your patron, any melee weapon you need from the pact, and phantasmal force and hex for your spells. Battlefield control is the name of the game.
Can you make a Bladelock outdamage a Fighter or Paladin in melee? No, of course not. That's their thing.
Can you make a Bladelock a better pure caster than a Wizard or a Sorcerer? No, duh. That's their thing.
Your Bladelock is flexible. You can cast magic. You have a weapon that you can't be parted from, and it takes whatever form you need it to, which gives you excellent utility at the drop of a hat.
Remember, Bladelock isn't a primary melee class. You're mid-range. Preferably, you want to be slinging Eldritch Blasts at people. But unlike a Sorcerer, you can still hold your own when that orc charges 60ft in one round and tries to cave your face in with a battleaxe.
Now, will you be able to do this better with five levels in Battlemaster first? Yes you will. Action Surge, Second Wind, Manoeuvres, Heavy Armour proficiency, five levels of d10 HD, all these help immensely. For the melee part. But the melee is secondary for a Warlock. Taking Blade for your pact is a way to buff that secondary aspect, not a way to make it your primary. If you want a guy with a magic weapon smacking dudes in the face all day erry day, that's what Paladin, Eldritch Knight and (some kinds of) Cleric are for.
>>46498636
Thanks for describing 'It follows' but that's a really weak monster.
>>46499549
If you're just gonna use the pact weapon when someone gets close then you might as well just go book and take shocking grasp
Most people wanna take blade in order to be a gish, not just have a sword in their hand as they cast spells, just like chainlocks want to have cool servants that aren't just a slightly better familiar (which book can get too)
Now I'm not saying they should be as good as fighters but they should at least have internal balance and hold a candle to bladesingers
I want my players to have a thief hireling since most of them suck at thief things, but I want him to be shit at combat
What could I replace sneak attack with that could help out the party? My best idea so far is healer's kit proficiency and the healer feat
>>46499690
Or you could let your players find other solutions to their problems.
>>46499583
I'm guessing that's irrelevant, the real hard part is that you can't get rid of it
>>46499060
>>46499124
>>46498961
I tried a paladin/monk once, completely suicidal idea, I was shit on everything, an not even the third best in combat
Radiant damage is almost never resisted, right?
Sun Soul Monk seems pretty strong.
>>46499786
MAD fetishist here. I'm currently playing a Rogue(Arcane Trickster)/Cleric(Trickery Domain) character. Only level 2, but it should be fine.
In another game I'm running a Cleric(Arcane)/Fighter. Not MAD, but still.
>>46499549
Tomelock does better the "gona melee when cornered"
Best 3 cantrips for tomelock? I was thinking Shocking Grasp, Guidance and Spare the Dying (we lack a proper cleric)
If I'm starting players out at level three or five at the start of a campaign, should I give them a small amount of starting gold since the the assumption would be that they'd certainly have gone on adventures to get to that level in the first place? If so, what's a reasonable amount to give them?
>>46499835
If you don't already have it, swap Shocking Grasp with Minor Illusion. Friends is also very good.
>>46496314
it might not show up in published form until we get the first Eberron player's companion.
>>46499821
Pretty much, use shocking grasp with help from familiar and just walk away
Or help from familiar to counteract disadvantage and repelling blast away
>>46499835
Take thorn whip and repulsing blast evocation. Push and pull at will.
Are Rangers really that bad in 5e?
>>46500035
The first two levels are God awful. After that, not so much.
>>46500035
>>46500047
Pretty much this, once you reach level 3 it's average
Don't listen to people that say beastmaster sucks, it really doesn't
>>46499878
Or Dark Sun. Psionics are probably more important to that setting, I think.
>>46500091
I've yet to play a Beastmaster (I probably will in the future), but in an effort to understand why it's considered so bad, I decided to take the calculations for CR and apply it to various beasts that the BM can get. What I found was that simply taking a companion at level 3 creates a fairly potent creature. It is true that the best does not scale very well, but the math says that they're up there in the CR. Of course, CR is not definitive of anything, but I can understand why Wizards did what they did with the BM now.
Really, all the BM needs is two things: A way to upgrade your companion at later levels to a CR 1/2 or even 1 companion, and death saving throws for your companion. Even the first part is just my personal preference, really just having the beast get death saves is all is absolutely needs and nothing more.
>>46500156
Hey, that's a good idea.
Thanks anon, beast death saves just became a houserule in my campaign.
How is the Swashbuckler?
I wanted to play a Elf Pirate, later which i thought could be inspired by the late Duke SliscusIn public he acts like Jack Sparrow to throw people off
>>46500035
Ranger's not that bad. It suffers from the first two levels being the wrong way around. Get Spellcasting and Fighting Style at level 1 (maybe 1 level 1 slot, to keep the progression?), then the fluff bonuses (Favoured Enemy/Terrain, Natural Explorer) at level 2, and it's basically fixed.
Beastmaster is suboptimal, but not terribly so. It's pretty poor until you hit level 5 and get Extra Attack just due to the action economy, but after that it's okay. It does require a reasonably tactically-minded player though.
It's not the best class, but it's not unplayable like people make out. But if you play it like an archer-fighter, you're gonna have a bad time.
>>46500363
Swash is alright. Pump Cha after Dex.
>>46499624
>>46499821
>>46499916
Tomelock also does better the "try to be an exclusively melee character." Tomelock does everything better. Bladelock is pointless.
>>46500156
I houserule it as the ranger being able to take up to CR1/2 at lv 10 and cr 1 at 15
I also use the "fighting spirit" variant rule from theangrygm and the beast gets that too
>>46500494
That's where you're wrong though, shellilagh does not a melee character make
I have been thinking of adding some various magical items into my campaign, though I'm not so sure if they are well enough balanced.
Do you think a drug like item that refreshes 1 sorcery point for sorcerers would be considered too overpowered? I wanted the drawbacks of using it that you could become addicted, by rolling a d20 + con. I've never really worked with addictions in an rpg before so i'm not sure what implications might come if you were addicted. Maybe exhaustion or disadvantage to charisma?
Thoughts? May post more ideas on magical items later.
>>46500458
Whether it comes first or second, the level where you get nothing but Favored Enemy and Natural Explorer is a dead level. Those abilities do exactly nothing, because they make you better at things that the DM will almost certainly skip over anyway.
>>46500570
Shillelagh and one of the new weapon attack cantrips. Those are all you need. You never need an extra attack because the cantrips can make up the difference in damage.
Granted, neither a tomelock nor a bladelock can ever be as good in melee as a class that's actually made for it, but that's a problem you're going to run into with any gish.
>>46496310
This month's UA sucks. The Monster Slayer is just a worse version of the battlemaster with more restricted abilities and two 1rst level spells you could get any number of easy ways if you really had to have them.
My eyes glazed over the Rogue archetype because it doesn't have big massive damage numbers so it's shit.
>>46500588
Just give the sorcerer a Pearl of Power. He can convert that restored spell slot to sorcery points if he wants to.
>>46500630
Those have been very useful abilities at my table. We're running Desert of Desolation; the ranger has desert as her favorite terrain and undead as her favored enemy. It's pretty handy not getting lost in the desert, finding food and water, and being able to track and know all about mummies, ghouls, and other nasty things that live in pyramids.

Yeah, but that's not fun. >>46500588 's idea is fun.
I'd be careful about handing out exhaustion too easily. It's pretty nasty and hard to get rid of. Instead, how about an addiction track? Each time he uses it, he becomes more dependent on it. First time he uses it, he has no negative side effects. But the second time, he has disadvantage on charisma checks for 24 hours after it wears off—unless he uses another one. Then it goes up to 48 hours, then a week, etc.
>>46500823
>Being true neutral scum
>>46500841
I would say mix up the disadvantages rather than just extending a disadvantage on one stat. Start with Cha, then go Wis, then Dex and Str at the same time and finally Con so that you'll keep being addicted after that. Soon they'll be getting shitty rolls all over the place and will want to kick the habit but get frustrated since they can't make the Con save.
>>46500885
Wis and Int at the same time*
>>46500841
>>46500588
The problem with addiction in D&D is there's probably a way to remove it (Greater Restoration, or maybe Remove Curse for magical addictions.) And once the party has a way to remove it, they can just remove it over and over again. So you can't count on that as a balancing factor for something that provides them a benefit.
A potion that restores like 1d6 sorcery points is probably just fine, especially if it's not commonly available for sale and you're careful not to hand out the formula required to create it.

What's likely happening is that your party's ranger keeps volunteering to make dice rolls that would not have been called for without her. Most DMs are not keen on letting the party die anticlimactically of hunger or exposure in the wild, and they often pretty much skip over any overland travel. So the risk won't even come up UNLESS a player asks to roll dice for it. And no matter how good that player's relevant numbers are, that's adding a chance of failure to something where there was no chance of failure before. Rangers also have a tendency to follow tracks that were never meant to be followed and derail the adventure. So in a roundabout way, a party in the wilderness is better off without a ranger than with one.
>>46501170

I adore lawful evil. You're like the Rick Grimes of PCs. You can make like a bandit group and give out harsh punishments where you see fit.

Playing punchclock villains is pretty fun so long as everyone's on board, or even just most everyone. The only time it sucks having someone be LE or CE is when everyone else is lawful good and you spend half the time trying to wrangle the outlier in line. If everyone plays it evil then an evil party would be pretty fun.

Honestly, I almost always play good or neutral, but I think Lawful Evil is probably the most interesting alignment, when played well.
Evil doesn't necessarily mean you'll backstab everyone at the first chance, become the Giga Lich to fuse with the Tarrasque and bring about the end of the multiverse and the return of the old gods.
Nor does it mean you're going to torture everyone to death and bring about a new reign of despair lasting 10,000 years.

Bad news, anon...
My group's starting a succession campaign this week where each of us take turns being DM in a permadungeon environment. I have to get things going for the group this weekend in the first session.
I'm really not sure I know how to make an entire session persist in the confines a dungeon. Usually my games have a lot of branching side quest shit to do in addition to dungeon crawls, so really making this big dungeon interesting will be a challenge for me.
What should I make the group do other than
>go to this room
>kill stuff
>go to next room
>kill stuff
>>46501503
Ayy, 6ranger(BM)/1rogue here. I fucking hate the companion shit. I finagled my way into converting my BM levels into Ambuscade Ranger levels so I'm in the clear. Just have to homebrew the rest of the levels.
If your DM won't tweak the beast companion rules for you, take a Giant Wolf Spider. Shit's handy.
Web sense; whenever your party rests, have the spider set up a concentric web network around your camp. If anything steps on the web, the spider wakes up and can wake you up.
+7 stealth bonus; You add your proficiency to the spiders ability checks, so (s)he gets a +10 to stealth at your current level. Take Pass Without Trace as a prepared spell and it gets +20 to stealth checks. Hope you're ready to fuck shit up.
Are you a halfling or a gnome? This is a medium creature; have fun riding it and using its stealth bonus to get anywhere you want.
Did I mention it has a climb speed (of 40 feet). If you can mount it, get a custom saddle made that secures you in place in any orientation, shit nigger, are you convinced yet?
Anyway, yeah. Fuck beastmaster. Just throw some piss-soaked rags at everyone you meet, maybe you'll get killed and you can roll up a rogue.
So how do you guys deal with the whole music thing?
I'm new to the whole DMing gig, and I'm trying to find a way to play music for the players that's suitable for the situation. Last several sessions I've just had random witcher 3 and Lord of the Rings music playing super lightly, as any other duties other than basic DM stuff would really overwhelm me (ie. changing music for fights and exploration, etc.). Though ideally that's what I want to be able to do.
>>46501627
The Starter Set I'm playing with right now has a large dungeon at the end with talking monsters that ask for things. Sounds somewhat similar to sidequests, if the players don't simply rush in and attack them at any rate.
Also you can have various gadgets and magic shit set up. Have the players explore to find the key to some magical chest or mechanism.
>>46501655
But then I have a giant goddamned spider following me everywhere.
>>46501681
Make it follow you stealthily. If your DM isn't a cunt like mine, he'll let it just passively skulk without having to make checks. It's not like spiders generate noise with their footsteps. It's not like they're flashing neon rainbow coloured.
>>46501655
So you have a spider that pretty much it's only alarm spell and spiderwalking spell? nice, I only had to lose my entire archetype for that.
Then again, the moment an enemy looks funny at my companion it dies, it happned and continues happening dispise my GM saying "it's was just one time", no, it's been 10 times so far, some of them insta kill on the first hit, and then, for the entire day I have nothing.

Druid dildo and cantrips are still nowhere near as good as a well built bladelock
The problem here is that bladelock requires planning and investment but the other two are literally just "pew pew"
And yet with good planning and investment a bladelock is both more effective and more satisfying, but nowhere near as versatile. Warlock hard mode, if you will
Yeah it would be nice to have it buffed, but even then, if tome and chain are light blue, blade is blue *at least*
>>46501677
>So how do you guys deal with the whole music thing?
I personally run a soundcloud stream in the background. With roll 20, its easier to manage, but I usually like to split up my music for whatever is appropriate. Like usually I have my intensive cliif hanger music or battle music.
https://soundcloud.com/max-ll/sets/jotun-original-soundtrack
This soundtrack here is pretty damn amazing, but the only problem being is that the songs are too short for my liking. Maybe someone could make an awesome loop for it, but I haven't seen anything for it as of yet.
>>46501753
I ended up trading out my class levels before I got the chance to take a Giant Wolf Spider as a companion. It's better than a lot of the other fodder that's available is what I'm saying.
Can someone please rationalize the beastmaster archetype for me? I don't understand what the fucking point is when you can just get a pet. Don't even try to argue that you couldn't convince a beast to become your pet without the beastmaster archetype:
Ranger, Hunter archetype
>take Speak with Animals as a prepared spell
>speak with any fucking beast you want, spend eight fucking hours doing it to form a bond (nonmagical, sure) just like you have to with the beastmaster
>convince it to come along with you, Speak with Animals lets you convey such complex ideas to it and convey rationale to do so
>now you have an animal companion and it doesn't force you to be an underpowered piece of shit
"good luck using it in combat without the bonuses from proficiency that the beastmaster gets to add"
The beastmaster doesn't even use his beast in combat unless it has some exploitable feature. Otherwise, it makes no sense to put your companion at risk in combat when you can just make a more effective attack yourself.
>>46502015
Bladelock is more MADer than Tome (even shillelagh tome) and Chain, needs more feats and more invocations. Bladelock still remains squishy as fuck, like the others, but the others 99% of the time stay behind, unless you go dwarf, but not everybody wants to be a dwarf warlock.
Bladelock has many holes, and sure, it can be satisfying in the way of making a monk/psywar in 3.5 was satisfying, you pick something shitty and turn it viable, but still, you have to invest tons of shit while Tome does pretty much what you do without investing shit.
>>46498863
Lvl 3 feature lets you restore some temp HP by killing mooks.
Lvl 6 feature is mass fear effect that lets you play a herding dog and chase off the mooks to where you want them thanks to superior mobility.
Lvl 11 feature makes you a meme stand-up man monk and annoying to kill (especially if you got high AC)
Lvl 17 feature is a worse Quivering palm but still okay.
Dip 2 levels in Rogue if you want to enhance your mobility with Cunning action.
>>46498961
Warlocks and rogues are the reccommended multiclass for Monks.
From Warlock you only need Hex and with your 4 Unarmed strikes it lets you add 4d6 DPR.
Never dip more than 3 levels in Warlock tho.

>>46502179
It's just that you bitch like a Beastmaster off and fucked the whole city watch behind your back, is all.
>>46502163
Anon literally explained that he wouldn't try to have it fight, since even the Beastmaster's companion dies so easily that it's not worth putting at risk when you're better with the dirty work anyways.
>>46502163
I forgot to include at the end of my post (after discussing that situations in which it's sensible to sacrifice an attack to command your animal companion to take an action are rare) that animal companions are really only useful out of combat. So, you would not need to convince the pet to fight for you; you probably wouldn't want it to in the first place (because squishy animals get instakilled).
In fact, depending on the type of animal, you may have to go so far as to CONVINCE it not to fight alongside you. Have you ever seen a poorly trained pet dog lash out at a person for merely approaching its owner? My friend's dumbass dog tries to rip my hand off if I so much as shake his hand.
My entire group showed up with Rangers.
I think at least one of them wants to change, but either way, how do I do fun wilderness adventures?
>>46499182
Yes, I know. I'm asking people who may have them to share them
>>46502234
Then what's the point? There is no argument, you either want a beast to fight with you or you don't, and if you don't then why do you give a shit?
He said "don't even try to..." and I didn't try, I told.
Why would anyone go beastmaster? Because it's flavorful and because it's actually viable when you pull your head out of your ass and form your own fucking opinions instead of snorting internet groupthink like a good little neet

>>46502228
>the whole city watch

>>46502258
Even just "hey come along with me"
>No thanks, guy. I have a good thing going here
If I am (generally) just playing what books have player options? As far as I can tell it is the PHB, Sword Coast Adventures, and Princes of the Apocalypse. Others, like Curse of Strahd, have just a single background and that isn't enough to justify a purchase.
>>46502306
>He can't read
>>46502258
As I said in this post, their only reasonable use is in their out of combat utility.
Fuck off you silly contrarian. Your argument is "it's flavorful". You can yield the exact same flavor with good roleplaying without taking the beastmaster archetype.

No, he must not have read because my earlier post refuted a point he made in his later post. Hence implying that he either ignored it or didn't read it.
Also, I must ask if the guy trying to justify the beastmaster archetype (with a pretty unreasonably rude attitude might I add), have you played a beastmaster before? What animal did you choose and how did you make it work well enough that it wasn't frustrating?
>>46499853
Friends has been completely awful in my experience, what have you been using it for? Getting somebody to help you / to believe your story / whatever right now to then have them seek revenge later has always been a bad trade off when I've had the option to cast Friends without even considering that it comes at the cost of not having something else.

Yes, a mother will definitely want to leave it's young behind for you.
Not even that guy, but you know this shit won't fly like you want to every time.
>>46502653
That's a specific circumstance in which it of course would not work. I never said that there are not circumstances in which an animal wouldn't acquiesce, but thank-you for raising that point regardless, because it would be worth considering. However, just as there are circumstances in which an animal would not agree to come with you, there are (arguably more) circumstances in which an animal would. Do you not agree?
>>46502702
That would really depend on where you're travelling. Maybe a wolf will follow you beyond the woods, but will it follow you into a desert? Will it follow you into a dungeon?
Will a few hours of chatting and snackery make it completely ignore its own instincts to follow you into any abyss?Probably not.
And as a DM, I would make frequent-ish checks just to keep you on your toes regarding the animal.
>>46502614
you're crazy man.
Beast master is an archetype that transcends just talking and forming a bond with an animal. It's representative of knowing how to become that animals alpha and becoming the leader of a pack. It represents a deep knowledge of how creatures think and function, just being able to talk to an animal doesn't create that.
Give the bear food? you're foodgiver.
Give the bear affection? You're lovegiver.
Neither make a bear want to fight by your side.
So I'm making a tomelock with a cultist theme and gave him the magic initiate feat. I've taken thautmaturgy, guidance, and shield of faith, and now I can't decide what spells to take for my book of shadows. What would teegee recommend? Also, are the choices for magic initiate solid? I went with the cleric spell list and specifically chose spells that don't increase with spell level and aren't based off of wisdom.
>>46502755
Making good points here, yeah, maybe your pets will come and go in this case. But the exact same shit happens with the beastmaster. Unless you keep the companion out of combat. Which, then, is useful, because it is compelled never to leave without you having to do any work. But at that point, the entire flavor of the class is moot. If you don't need to go out of your way to find an animal that will come along with you and fight by you if need be and you don't need to interact with it at all outside of ordering it around to convenience you because it isn't allowed to leave even if you neglect it, then then how can the archetype be justified by being flavorful? It can't.
If you want rules that accommodate being a beast-master, then you should be choosing any class/archetype except for beastmaster.
>>46498202
...wait, I'm not that anon, but does that mean a werebear paladin could smite whilst he mauls evildoers?

>>46502892
I'm sure you actually do a fine job DMing. Although I don't believe you were being genuine in this discussion because you wanted to support your initial standpoint, but that's just my suspicion.
Make a beastmaster halfing NPC that rides a giant wolf spider for you players to meet. You know it would be cool.
>>46502859
>exact same shit happens with the beastmaster
Hardly. The magical bond between the Beast Master and the animal is hardly something that would shatter over merely entering a dungeon or leaving locales the animal is familiar with.
So yeah, maybe the Beast Master isn't what I would pick, but it does allow players who want a pet that stays with them forever to be able to do so.

> Also, are the choices for magic initiate solid?
What choices did you make, exactly? There are a lot of Cleric spells.

At least we can agree on some of the rulings being silly. My DM gave my companions death saving throws which saved me a lot of hassle.

I would not take Magic Initiate as a Tomelock, because you get diminishing returns the more cantrips you have. Beyond having two or three damage cantrips, Minor Illusion and Guidance, other spells will be either for flavor - like Thaumaturgy and Prestidigitation - or pretty situational - like Message and Mage Hand.
Not that you shouldn't have them, but there comes a point where it's probably more useful to take another feat.
That said, if you're looking for advice, what are your existing spells?

My step-brother has a yacht, we sailed with his GF and 4 other chicks from Cancun to Miami
It's 90% doing nothing and 10% intense work
The only reason I got any trim (lol sailing pun) on that trip was because we were all ridiculously bored and there was nothing else to do but drink and fuck
