Then I went to dms guild and found this free adventure which took just one evening session plus another hour the following morning for my group to finish: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/238921/Death-Pit-of-Moloch--5E-Adventure-for-Beginner-Dungeon-Masters--Players Sounds like you may eventually want to find a better way than skype to play online, there are some tools for this but I've never used them. I know Fantasy Grounds can be bought on Steam. Good luck!

Verisimilidude posted:In my upcoming campaign, I'm hoping to give players new skills/spells as rewards. I'm taking stuff from 4th edition, so a fighter, for instance, can learn the Reaping Strike ability from a more powerful warrior or by making an intelligence check and learning the move as they see it happen. I'm very pro "throw 4e poo poo into 5e", but uhhh int checks on a fighter? The way I'm planning on doing similar is just stealing Matt Colvilles usage of titles and such. Give players neat things based on what they do and what they accomplish.

I don't think I can express just how disappointed I am in that attempt at a "Truenamer". Twilight is kind of interesting, pity it doesn't get to see through magical darkness earlier, and it only ever gets it for its own limited use Darkness. Wildfire. Man I was getting my hopes up when I saw it. But it just seems so blah, and the Wildfire Spirit seems so worthless. Which, you know, kind of fits with the "companions" that the last UA Artificer had. Because man that was disappointing.

Calling it a full system is generous when most of it is just 5e D&D but renamed slightly.

Blockhouse posted:I generally don't allow multiclassing without some kind of story justification (not even like a good one I'll accept "I took a year off during downtime to learn how to be really angry" or "the paladin's been teaching me how to stand up fight so now I'm a rogue/fighter") but punishing your players for multiclassing is some old school adversarial GM bullshit I agree with this approach. I planned for a Paladin 2/(Storm) Sorcerer X and had the fact that it was a nascent element of my character's bloodline in my backstory and discussed the plan with the DM beforehand. So I got struck by lightning when we hit level 3 and it worked out fantastically. The Tiefling Padlock (evenly leveled between Paladin and Hexblade) had a similar agreement and backstory justification and everything worked out extremely well for the story and the game. That said, that's the best DM I've ever had when it comes to working backstory into the frontstory so your mileage may vary.

To avoid too much 3.5 stuff, anyone mind PMing me why the truenamer is bad? I've heard stuff (like they get less effective as they level), but nothing with specifics, and I don't want to bog the thread down.

Glagha posted:Can't be any more disappointing than the actual original Truenamer. I don't know that I would agree. I definitely like the original Truenamer better, and the Goon made Pathfinder "Truenamer". Its just the 3.5 version had certain mechanical flaws. Glaring mechanical flaws. Of course by bolting this idea onto a Wizard I am already going to be disappointed. As it isn't a Truenamer, it is a few vaguely kind of sorta Truenamer stuff ... bolted onto a Wizard. So it is a Wizard with a few thematic abilities, disappointing abilities but thematic none the less.

Glaring mechanical flaws. The original Truenamer literally didn't function as a class. It just straight up didn't work. At all. And it was already basically just yet another spellcaster, so essentially just a wizard but you cut his legs off. Now it's a wizard but what can do things.

That said, this version of the truenamer isn't exactly exciting either. I mean, none of the wizard schools really change how you approach the class, but this one basically boils down to "for targets that use language, you can spend a bonus action to make them pass a WIS check, and if they fail your spells are better against them until you run out of resources". The big one IMO being that you can impose disadvantage on them when they make saving throws for spells you cast at them.

My game with the flying snake race went well! They wanted to get into it immediately, so I let the druid turn into a flying snake to enter it because it was a oneshot anyway. They really enjoyed the skill challenge and trying to figure out how to apply different things. I loved when they suggested sleight of hand to whack a marker flag into another snake to knock it off course. They also defeated a hag coven that was poisoning a city, and spared one of the hags and recruited her into the party to teach her to be less evil. It was the hag that thought the halfling was a child and wanted to eat him. Of course it was. The combat in the last fight got a little bogged down, but they enjoyed themselves and I think it went very well for my first game.

1994 Toyota Celica posted:I had a lot of fun playing a centaur monk for a few sessions I bet you could have gone even farther, since Monks can dash and then bonus action Step of the Wind for a second dash. On a Centaur at Level 10 that would be 180 ft per round (210 with Mobile). On an Aarakocra that would be 210 ft of actual flight (240 ft with Mobile). Of course you'd still want to find a way to incorporate the Equine Build drawbacks in some way. It'd probably come out in the form of more routine difficulty checks for navigating the walls, even though it's mechanically normal movement. On the topic of speed, it seems that you can top out at between 1680 - 2840 ft / round depending on rules interpretation. Though it takes so many resources and collective action that you would be better off just casting Teleport and calling it infinite ft / round. https://rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/58632/what-is-the-fastest-a-character-can-move-in-one-turn Kaal fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Oct 5, 2019 |

None I can think of off the top of my head, besides maybe the spell-less ranger option? Ranger is not a very good class in 5e. There are definitely some subclass options in the PHB and XGE that give PHB ranger a run for its money in being bad choices (Berserker, Storm Herald, Four Elements, Assassin, boy I sure am naming a lot of martial options aren’t I?).
