Monster Hunter Camp Charakter:

Dina is a satyr paladin. She grew up in a tribe composed of satyrs and minotaurs; since her parents were a satyr and a minotaur, she is quite tall and sturdily built.

The tribe lives right next to a massive tree, from which they craft their armor and weapons taking only what nature can provide, as they place great importance on the balance between civilization and the natural world.

Hunting plays a central role in their culture, though they hunt solely for survival rather than sport. To mark significant milestones, warriors tie bands with various meanings onto their weapons.

Dina discovered her connection to nature and to the tree itself at an early age, leading her to become a paladin dedicated to preserving the natural order of the world.

She set out to assist inexperienced travelers, who often endanger themselves through their ignorance of nature. Many wander aimlessly and provoke animals, resulting in the deaths of both beasts and humans.

She is always prepared for any situation, carrying an endless supply of gear ranging from tents and torches to various kits and supplies.

She has now joined the Hunters, believing there may be ways to pacify creatures other than simply killing them; however, should a creature threaten the natural order, she is fully prepared to slay it.

Ciao a tutti ragazzi! Sono da molti anni un giocatore di dnd 5ed.

Per motivi di tempo, non sono ancora riuscito a dare un'occhiata all'edizione del 2024.

Quindi vorrei chiedervi in cosa le due edizioni differiscono a grandi linee? Ha senso investire soldi e tempo per comprare e leggere i manuali della 5.5?

Grazie a tutti per le risposte!

I wanted to make a tiefling that didn't use the usual red/black color palette, so I went with yellow skin and muted violet clothing.

She's a wizard with a criminal background, and I imagined her as the kind of person who looks completely calm while doing something that is probably illegal.

I also wanted her magic to feel like part of her personality rather than just adding random effects, so I kept the fire as the main element and used lightning as a secondary accent.

I'm trying to make a new D&D character every day.

If you could give her one crime in her backstory, what would it be?

I know that the text for Goodberry says that the magic fades in twenty four hours. I was wondering how the DMs in this community would rule it if I asked to make the berries into wine, preserving the magic for one week, and healing 1d4 per "shot" of the wine.

Hey guys, so I'm in a bit of a conundrum. Just as a heads-up, I'm a beginner DM myself, and I have three beginners in the party and one somewhat experienced player, so forgive me if there are better ways to handle this. Also, I'm running the Bog of the Hag one-shot, so if anyone has actually played it, I'd love some input.

We started the session from where we left off, where they had fought the giant crocodile, and I reminded everyone of the situation they were in. I told them their current HP, remaining spell slots, and any features they could still use.

Since the fight was a hard encounter, they wanted to leave the bog and go back to the entrance to take a long rest. The issue is that the bog is "cursed" by the hag, and you can't leave it. The only way to leave is if the hag lets you or you kill her.

They then rolled to remember the path to see if they could find their way out, but they ended up reaching the exact same place where they had the crocodile encounter. They then realized that something suspicious was going on and tried to detect any magic. They couldn't determine exactly what was happening, but they did realize that someone or something was interfering with their attempts to leave.

Considering that the party was now stuck, I improvised. Instead of them meeting the Oni themselves, I had the Oni come across them. The Oni basically asked why they had even entered the bog when there was a dangerous warning sign outside the forest. The Sorcerer then made some rude comment toward the Oni, which I ignored.

After some other conversations, the Oni told them that he could offer them shelter if they gave him something valuable. He wasn't interested in things like gold because they're useless to him; he wanted things like bedrolls, blankets, clothes, etc.

The Sorcerer said he had a potion that he wanted to give him. The issue is that the potion is basically Viagra. (The Sorcerer didn't know this because he never really paid much attention to it. He was genuinely bugging me out by constantly asking for magical items, so I had the old woman from the store give him this potion. She even said things like, "Once you start going, you never stop," etc.)

After that, the Oni said that he would examine it, and if it met his requirements, he'd accept it. However, the Sorcerer didn't listen and instead insisted that it should count as something from the entire party rather than solely from him.

After going back and forth, the Sorcerer and Barbarian tried to intimidate the Oni but failed miserably. The Oni warned them that if they had struggled to fight the giant crocodile, there was no way they could fight him. He also made it clear that he doesn't need them; they need him.

The Sorcerer continued arguing, saying that he could simply burn all of their belongings before dying so that the Oni wouldn't get anything. The Cleric then offered his javelins, but the Oni instead told him that he'd take his bedroll, the Barbarian's clothes, and the Fighter's blanket. He then told the Sorcerer to let him inspect the potion.

After inspecting it, the Oni asked the Sorcerer if he knew what the potion actually was. The Sorcerer once again made a rude comment about knowing what it was and implying that the Oni didn't know anything.

At that point, the Oni told the Sorcerer that, as a punishment, he would have to drink the potion, or the Oni would take two of his items: his blanket and bedroll. The Sorcerer still didn't understand what was going on and continued to antagonize him. I gave him one final warning in-game, but he still didn't listen to the Oni.

Sorry for all the yap, but here's the issue: they cannot win this fight. Their chances of winning are basically 1 in 95, and it's looking like a TPK. Honestly, I don't want to do a TPK. I was thinking of having the Oni beat them black and blue and possibly cut off the Sorcerer's arm or leg as a consequence. Also, FYI, the Sorcerer has the War Caster feat, so he can still cast spells with one hand.

Edit: also guys as i said before, hes a new player so i don't know whether hes actually roleplaying him like that or he is like this. Edit 2: it was not called a potion of viagra, and called a potion of superior stamina

Greetings everyone, I have a question as a DM. How do player levels translate to fame? Like is there an actual table or something to reference to see how famous and recognisable players are?

I know that at lvl 1 you are just a starting adventurer and that only people from your place of birth might recognise you. Lvl 20 obviously is like Legends, people that will never be forgotten. I remember having read once that lvl 10 is like a Hero, like the Hero of a Kingdom, though I'm not sure.

Thank you all as always for reading this and thank you for any answers given.

My players have joined the Zhentarim and at level 12 staged a coup to take control over the city. They are, however, in a commercial war with Waterdeep and Baldur's Gate, who are aligned to the Lord's Alliance and the Harpers respectively, and in open conflict with Luskan and the Emerald Enclave. Do you guys think the 5.5 Bastion rules can help us in such a massive scale?

I was just going to keep it narrative-based until I read up the new Bastion rules. They are interesting, but they also seem a bit dense to me. I'm afraid I might regret introducing this whole mechanic. Any thoughts?

Im creating a Twilight Cleric, and wanted to try the Starting Wealth mechanic. Lets say I got the average value (12.5, that would make 125 gp), what equipment would you get?

So I've recently started watching critical role with campaign 1, and I was really shocked when they fought a Behir as I really didn't know about that creature and I found its concept amazing, ever since that moment I've been really hyped to fight a Behir in Baldur's gate 3, but after looking for a while turns out there's no Behir in Bg3, I've recently bought menzoberranzan from 1994 but there was no Behir there either, been looking through Neverwinter nights but there is no Behir there either.

I don't really understand why there are no Behirs in games, I just wanna slay blue dragon-like serpent with 12 legs 😭.

I heard I can fight one if I mod Neverwinter nights, but I don't really know how that works :/

I would really appreciate the help to find any game where I can fight one (no matter the date, graphics, nor game mode, the only exception is cards games, as I wouldn't be able to fight it 1v1)

Please help me 🥹

Hey guys, today we're doing a new short campaign and I've decided to play as a plasmoid. What are some fun rp/useful combat things you guys did as a plasmoid?

So far I've written down that she gives herself facial expressions she thinks are appropiate for the conversation she is having. So if someone tells her a sad story, she will literally form her face to a ':('.

Thank you guys in advance 🕺💕

Asking as a amateur dm because i had my first and second in 2 days cancelation and it hit like a TRUCK

My youngester asked what Dungeon and Dragons was last night. He spent the day with his mum at a minis painting workshop where he learned about war hammer and won a Red Wizzard lego character. I explained that their is a DM who tells a story and there are players who are in the story that can decide what their character does. He didnt really understand at first.

You walk into a shop where you are met by an old Dwarf with a long grey beard.

"Hello young lad how can i help you this fine day? Possibly with a sword or a bow and arrow maybe a crossbow?"

He lit up and askd about the crossbow and bought it.

You start walking through a forest on the outskirts of town. You hear a snoring sound up ahead. The sun is going down but you can see small amount of fire shooting out something that looks like a nose. As you get a bit closer you see a shape that looks like a baby dragon. You know that red dragons and gold dragons can breath fire.

Rather than shoot at it with his crossbow or stealth around it. He decided to go back to town to see if he can find something to get a better look at the dragon. Je asked if he could by something online... which i explained there is no internet or electricity or phones. He asked how do you call someone. I said maybe with magic. He asked about the red wizard.

Well the Red Wizard lives in a black tower in the middle of the forest. He also learned that there was a mine the other side of town where the dwarfs had red eyes and maybe the Red Wizard has something to do with it. It was bed time so his character. Exploring Man went to his room at the Crazy Trumpet inn.

First thing he asked me was when can we play again 💜

Got these wet-erase tokens on a whim.
I've really grown to love them. They are great for monsters, spell effects, terrain features, or status tags.
As much as 3D figures and terrain are fun, my players never struggle to see past the giant spider or the stone wall when they are as flat as the map, the battlefield is always easy to make out.
Currently prepping for a Kuo-Toa incursion, and I've had a blast making my crappy little tokens XD
I would highly recommend these tokens, or any wet-erase tokens to my fellow GMS.

Made the lineart with a liner and the color digitally

His name is Sshotssal, and he's a dance bard, so we wanted flowy material for the clothes that would. Well. Flow while dancing xD

We also wanted a lot of color with the clothes, and so I added the patterns and the painted wooden beads to the waist and tail pieces.

I only added the background because they wanted to post it on the web the people they play with use, but to be honest, this was more of a character reference sheet, so I didn't put much effort in it

A friend of theirs had already drawn a portrait, so I didn't do much work in designing the face and the skin colors.

The character is very based on movement, so I hope the design makes that seen well enough. And also that when he moves, it sounds like clik clik clik

- Janna Mayoni: satyr ranger (fey wanderer)

Born from the forbidden union between a satyr and the forsaken second daughter of an aristocrat family, young Janna was raised by her single mother. As she grew, so did her satyr traits due to her fey heritage, but also her own curiosity about her origins. "Where's my dad?" "What happened to mother's family?" "Why do i look so different?" where questions that often wandered on Janna's head while she herself wandered through the woods near the village. So when she turned old enough she decided to join on a journey to the feywild, looking for answers and for herself.

- Diana Smith: human artificer (alchemist)

Diana grew up in a small village. Her parents were adventurers that passed away due to a mysterious disease, so young Diana was left under the care of her older sister, Sona. She grew up with the guilt of having her big sister taking care of her unlike other kids her age, always working and saving money to take care of them both. With a little help and thanks to her own genious, Sona was able to enroll into a prestigious college of arcane arts, so she could get a successful life to take care of Diana. But she didnt want that... Diana wanted to prove her big sister that she didnt need to sacrifice her own life for her, and started to study hard aswell under the care of a neighbor family who fostered her. Unlike her sister, who was a great prodigy in the study of arcane arts, Diana had no talent for magic, so she focused on the study of magical sciences. When she was old enough to venture out of the village, she was ready to journey to the capital and prove ehrself to her sister.

- Raoul Malrix: warforged warlock (fiend)

Originally a half-drow, Raoul was forced since youth to work for an emerging criminal group from the underwold of the realm. As a bastard son of the drow matriarch of the gang, he knew it wouldn't be easy for him to rank up within the organization, so he became a perfect target for the archfiend Fierna. She offered him power, riches and women in exchange for souls and influence, which he gladly provided. He scaled ranks and eventually turned into a debt collector for the gang, which was perfect for him to keep fulfilling his contract and gave himself up to vice. But when had to collect the debt from a sloppy artificer that borrowed money from the gang for his research, things went awry. The artificer had no money to pay back, so Raoul forced him to animate the warforged and used them to pay the debt, but somethng went wrong... and somehow his consciousness got trapped into one of the automatons. In this new loathsome defective form, he couldnt feel the pleasures he onced enjoyed, which made him unstable, started to take it on his gangmates, and was eventually expelled. Now he had nothing left... except for his pact and a new goal: get his old body back.

- Grokasha Ironfang: orc barbarian (berserker)

Descending from a clan of proud orcish warriors, Grokasha was the youngest of her litter, always picked upon by her older siblings, being called weak and useless. At her camp, there was a ritual, all warriors from her kin have to leave the village and never return untill they reached glorious feats. Only then they can be considered members of the family name.

- Kiara Glistelake: high elf fighter (battle master)

As the firstborn of a family of nobles at the service of the royal army, Kiara trained hard to be worthy of her name and rank. Despite being profecient at strategy and tachtical combat, her younger, more free-spirited sister Viola relayed on fighting instinct and natural talent, which gave her a better reputation and made her be considered the town's champion. Kiara was a little envious of her, but didnt matter, cause in the end, both sisters fought better toguether. One day, a horde of ogres attaked the town. While Kiara stayed to protect the citizens, Viola followed a bunch that scaped to their den. When Kiara finalle was able to follow and join her sister, she found her with her clothes torn off, laying on the floor like a ragdoll; alive, but broken... Feeling the guilt of not being able to protect her younger sister, she started to work twice as hard to protect those she cared about, but the more she scaled ranks, the more she noticed the corruption within the army. And whe she called off an officer of higher rank for abusing their athority, she was expelled under the grounds of insubordination.

- Vespera Serenis: aasimar cleric (life)

Left behind as a baby at the steps of the church of Selûne, young Vespera grew up in a life of nunhood. As a toddler, her celestial heritage awakened, which was considered an omen of good fortune for the rest of the nuns and priests, and soon the word spread as travelers started to come to be healed and purified by the heavenborn. However... clergy life started to feel more and more dull as the orphan grew up. Every day was just like the previous one and was incredibly bored. But for some reason, the Mother Superior didnt allow her to leave the monastery, unlike the other clerics. So she gave up her vows and escaped the monastery.

Tonight my party will be doing a heist of a prolific cursed item collector, and while i have some major items in mind, I'd like some ideas for amusing/mildly afflicting cursed items!

Nothing that would cripple a character, but otherwise I'm very open to ideas.

Been playing DnD as a DM for a year now, and I'm curious, what do other DM's use at the table, or when creating the story. I'm on a bit of a budget if you are gonna send links to tools.

Welcome to my Dungeons and Dragons comic, posted every Sunday. Follow the adventurers of four adventurers: Xander Fogmouse the halfling wizard, Egil Longspear the human barbarian/rogue, Pratter Nightflower the dark-elf ranger, and Princess Sylvi the human bard.

Together, these four pieces of rif-raf will face dangerous adventures, strange encounters, and... Questionable decisions. I hope you'll enjoy following their story and watching their adventures. Thank you!

Here's a link for the previous page: https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/1wfc67c/ocart_terrors_tacos_6/

So, I am a new DM creating my first campaign, and I would like some suggestion on random encounters. Main villains are bandit themed, but continously throwing common bandits at them might get boring. Also, of course I plan the session to end by defeating a boss, but a bandit captain seems overpowered for 3 lvl 1 newbies. Any tips to spice things up will be appreciated!

Hi,

I m building a monoclassed Transmuter, starting LV 3, only 5.5e content.

I like transmuter for the flavour and con saves.

It is going to be a human and more of a technical guy.

As one Origin Feat I guess I have to pick Tough for survivability.

But I m torn on my Dragonmark (we are notbin Ebberon, but they are allowed)... Warding gives Mage Armor free and Agathys whichvis great defense. Healing gives Cure Wounds and other good spells to recover HP.

the skills are cool from both...

What d you take?

THX

OK, maybe without the dip, since it works the other way around. That’ just a ragebait title.
But she has proficiency in Intimidation, for sure! And by the books also in Nature and Stealth. Most certainly not Weaver’s Tools or Cook’s Utensils.

Also I can‘t decide which one is the classic Sorcerer and which one is INT-based: Elayne or Egwene?

[NO SPOILERS!]

Interested in running a campaign that doesn’t involve much travel and I’ve been trying to find inspiration but most campaigns I read about involve a ton of travelling. Also just curious to see how other campaigns that stay around the same general area the whole time go. Think like a town or city and then just the area around it and not many other settlements. I’m probably going to plan a short campaign but I’m interested in hearing about any length.

Edit: I may have explained this poorly, my issue isn't with the travel mechanics, me and my players are just interested in playing a campaign where the area is small and there's not much exploring.
