Hey /tg/ I need some help

my cousin has invited me to play dnd 5e but I'm more of a 2e kinda guy so I need some help building a character. Party so far is a paladin, a sorcerer and a rogue so I was thinking of making a cleric since i figure they could use some heals. Any idea how I can make a character that isn't woefully useless or otherwise a better class to fit in?

Why is this guy so under-developed in the HH series? Every other Primarch has had their own book.

>>43098728
He very well may get one.

Primarily, though, it's because it's pretty difficult to flesh him out in such a way that hasn't been done with other characters. Grim, brutal stoicism and total disregard for losses is already a hallmark of many other Primarchs, so it'll be difficult to translate that to Mortarion in an original way.
>>
He already failed at everything in the old IA articles, so there was no need for the HH series to find new ways to shit on him.

First off, I am a new GM, this is my first time running a campaign.

My main problem is that I get so nervous describing locales and progressing through the story, that I feel (in my mind) I have ruined the moment. The BBEG I spent weeks pondering over, how he would look, his goals and ambitions, etc. I describe him in 4 words.
He's not scary and powerful to me. I've been doing this for 4 months already and I haven't hit my stride yet. Has anyone experienced something like this? The party is supportive, but in my mind, I feel I could do better.

If description is a problem for you, write out what you want to say and use that as a reference. It works for me. Don't read it word for word but it gives you something to fall back on so you aren't stumbling. Glad to hear your players got your back though.

Wish I could help, OP. I'm in kind of the same situation although I'm still running a module for now.

I typically try and feel better by telling myself that I can't trust my own perception of myself so I have no choice but to trust my players when they tell me they enjoyed themselves. Go easy on yourself, OK bro?

I want to make a char that can both heal and take life to manipulate it, kinda like a necromancer.

I still want to heal though. Not 'cause I want to heal people, but because I want to heal people for money in-game.

How do you handle save or die spells as a GM? As a player?
17 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
If an encounter ends immediately because a caster popped a Save or die spell ,then no XP and little/no loot is awarded.
>>
>save or die
I had forgotten that this was a thing that exists.

Why did any game designer think this was a good idea?
>>
>Remember, once you start using save-or-dies, so do the monsters.

Alternatively, play a system without them. They're dumb.

I don't know what to think about this...

I think your GM has done some good setting building and that you're a massive asshole who doesn't deserve to have a game since you don't appreciate what you have.

Whats better for complete a noob playing a rogue or a cleric

What system?

If it's 3.PF, Cleric, rogues are terrible and Clerics can be built as combat monsters.

If it's a balanced system, do you want to be clerical or roguish?
>>
>>43095669
def cleric
Rogues are pretty difficult because they have to know about tactics to use their backstab/sneakattack.
>>
If you're playing Pathfinder, pick up a Rogue. Not an Unchained Rogue, just a normal one.

If you're playing DnD 5e, do not pick Cleric under any circumstances, they are the weakest class.

Galeb duhr. Rename them to Gayleb Durrr.

Also margoyles, moss dwarves and giant carnivorous auks.

A non-violent one.

Perhaps the draco-lich wishes to be entertained, immortality can get rather dull after all.

Or maybe he needs some new minions to run around doing tasks that he considers beneath him.

>>43095694
What kind of location would a non-violent draco-lich inhabit, assuming it's still evil and has dragon needs and all?

Are there any free ways to play Magic: the Gathering online with full access to every card? Is it worth it to buy one of the online games, or do they also make you gamble / buy cards?

Also what is a good deck to teach someone how to play?

Use intro decks to teach how to play.

LackyCCG is a good way, but you have to do regulate the rules yourself. Magic Duels exists and is official and free to play, but is shit.

Do you like Dark Fantasy in your tabletop? Why and why not?

Personally I run almost entirely Dark Fantasy Berserk-esque stuff. After a while I could see the players not getting attached to npc's because they know the meta of dark fantasy and the best npc's have the worst time and stuff like that.
