KingKalamari posted:It's actually been there since episode 1: Our first introduction to the triplets sees them being caught in a zany scheme to hot-wire Donald's houseboat while he's at a job interview so they sail it to Cape Suzette. It's amazing how many deep cuts this show has to old Disney Afternoon shows: The secret spy formula from "The Secret Case Files of Agent 22" is the Gummiberry Juice from Gummi Bears, and a recent episode saw Dewey and Della sing along to "Stand Out" from A Goofy Movie on the radio Don't forget them using the moon level theme from the nes ducktales for their... Moon episode. It even had lyrics! Brentalfloss must be so proud. The new ducktales is a crazy collection of deep cuts for their older audience. But I digress.

Thanks everyone. Awesome advice. 7 PC's is what you get when you are running a campaign on a somewhat populated discord, and everyone wants to hang out. Hopefully I can treat player count a little more like the justice league (not everyone shows up every week always), but we'll see.

Shipwrecked Spelljammer is cooler than portal hopper, if only because you get to explain how you stole your gun from a Giff because the Giff are the coolest dumbest race in all of D&D. Easy - considering that Hippos can run faster than a human, and swim faster than a human, the character beat the Griff in triathlon with an excellent time on the bike section.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:Hey guys, Don't want to be a unfun advice giver, but Unfortunately for level 4 it's usually ability score increase in their attack stat by +2. Because the game doesn't have partial partial successes in combat (either you hit or your don't!), hitting (and thus being accurate) is very important. 5e doesn't really have a warlord-esque "everyone else is my weapon, I never need to attack class," so I think your bard player still rolls d20s. Unless they rolled super poo poo hot for stats (and who rolls stats these days!?!), there's no way they have a 20 in their attack stat (probably CHA in this case).

There's even one with Jeff Goldblum as a player, somehow! Just to show you how good the dm is at improvising, this epic meltdown was done entirely off the cuff: (just to provide some background, the gimmick of this game show is that the rules of the game change every episode, and the rules aren't explained to contestants. The game is "yes or no" where the players are asked "yes or no?" and awarded points on their responses. Then this happened.) https://youtu.be/88et7YlmzTs

radlum posted:How do you roleplay a Warforged character? I was thinking of playing one in the next game my DM is starting but I was wondering how "robotic" should I play the character, so I could use some suggestions. My warforged had a broken vocoder, so he communicated through beeps and boops (aka a harmonica). The idea was to just let the other players interpret for me a la Chewbacca, but I had to dip on the campaign before that really started to take off, sadly. It was fun to play the CHARGE riff (like you would hear from the organ player at a sports event) just before giving the rogue in the party commander's strike. It seemed like a fun gimmick. HK-47 always seems like a good back up option if you're out of ideas.

100YrsofAttitude posted:Two questions on Monk, since I'm going to try to go Drunken Master monk in my first game. 1) you are correct. You're going to be using a spear until 17th level - at that point your unarmed strikes deal more damage than the spear does. 2) incorrect. Disadvantage and proficiency do not over write each other at all. Proficiency adds a bonus to your die roll. Disadvantage makes you roll 2d20 and take the lowest result.

Azathoth posted:Now I wanna flavor a Fighter as a luchador, but take a dip into Pact of the Blade Warlock just so he can have a pact weapon that is a folding chair (reflavored from a 2H mace). He'll insist on cutting a promo before every major fight, wear tons of neon spandex, and constantly be jumping off of things and landing on his enemies. My barbarian, "Manly Man" Randall Wildman, uses a "Dwarven" Greataxe, which suspiciously looks like a steel folding chair. He also might have been trained wrong by the dwarves of Ironmaster as a cruel joke. Oooooh yeah! Edit: Great Weapon Master is a busted feat. Just handing out chair shots and CTE to all the devils and demons of Avernus.

Toshimo posted:Not if you are delaying barb progression for it What do you mean? The plan for my character was: Barb to 8 (maxes strength at this point with the ASI) Fighter to 3 (for Champion dip) Back to Barb for the rest (we are playing Descent into Avernus, which means there are 15 levels of progression, give or take), which is another 4 levels. He misses Brutal Critical (13), and Totemic Attunement (14, Bear, which gives that sweet defender aura, to be fair), and then Persistent Rage (15), which seems like a nice to have, not a need to have. I also lose a few HP in having smaller HD for the 3 Fighter levels, and delay an ASI/Feat for 3 levels In exchange, I get an extra 10% chance to crit (https://www.reddit.com/r/dndnext/comments/895vil/i_calculated_how_much_of_an_effect_advantage_and/), action surge, and a +1 to AC.

Real UK Grime posted:Barb with a fighter dip and vice versa is fine. If you're worried about performance, don't dip either until you have your Extra Attack at level 5. I think it's a bit sub optimal, but Barb with a 3 level dip in fighter for Champion (and the expanded crit range) is pretty hilarious. I just hit level 9 barb/3 fighter and rolled a bunch of 19s in row and it felt good. Progression wise, I went barb to 8, then fighter to 3, and then Barb for the rest of the campaign.

Aren't they supposed to be good with guns, too? I do agree the Jiff seem quite underwhelming. Hopefully they will get something that makes them more unique in the actual release. Speaking of, how much do things change from playtest to release?

Any resources for maps or icons for vehicles would be greatly appreciated. I searched from within the Foundry app and didn't find anything. https://pretzel-lectern.blogspot.com/2020/10/d-better-infernal-war-machine-tokens.html?m=1 You should be able to find maps on google for free as well.

pog boyfriend posted:the problem with monks is they are suboptimal but also extremely cool and people want to play them. this is also the problem with ranger Rangers don't seem(?) bad with all the help they have from Tasha's, although I would love to be corrected on that point. I am currently running a Gloomstalker Ranger (archer style, currently at level 3), and the Gloomstalker seems to be a pretty powerful kit, at least so far. It encourages multiclassing to Fighter for action surge, but what Martial Character doesn't want action surge? I do need a way to reliably get into a dark zone though, to really take advantage of Umbral Sight.

Nehru the Damaja posted:I'm not a believer in game music unless I have something insanely on-point. When you have stuff that's not chosen for the scene, I find it's distracting. People are like "ooh do I know this one" or laugh when your ambient tavern track becomes the Skyrim theme or whatever. I'm a huge believer in game music. Setting the tone with some background ambiance is a really low effort way to help set the scene, and given how much of it exists (and how specific it can be!) it's totally worth 5 minutes of prep time before a session to get something. Acutal music is a bit trickier for the above reasons mentioned. Still can be a good thing. Especially for battles. I had an interesting fight in a mechwarrior campaign, where my players were driving to a meeting, and were being stalked by a kill-dozer type vehicle. Cue the Jaws theme. My players reacted very positively to it.

Nehru the Damaja posted:Any ideas how I can present Professor Onyx in the Strixhaven module? I have one player who wants to do an independent study with a subject-matter that is dead-on for her, but I want to be sure that there's some value to running the character other than just making a goofy face at a nonexistent camera and hoping the two players who know about MtG get what's going on. Clearly you need to have Liliiana and Prof Onyx in the same room together to establish that Prof Onyx is not Liliana. You players can get into wacky hijinks in their efforts to prove the opposite.

KaoliniteMilkshake posted:I've had long, long conversations with my DM before Conjure Animals showed up at the table the other week. Part of it is that we're just both like that, but part of it is we've both seen both ends of the spell - it can be really worthless if you have no control over what you're summoning, but the inverse where the player reliably spams 8 flyby attacks worth of giant owls every turn is absurd, and more critically, it bogs down combat or requires the DM throw something with AOE into every major combat that might swing balance a lot. We also wanted variety, and figured creating tables of what gets summoned at the drop of a hat in combat seemed fun, so we made tables of the 8/4/2/1 thing that the spell would summon for the area where the campaign takes place, including some stuff out of 3rd party supplements. There's an agreement that '8 is too many', even if the initial role spawned 4 black bears - which have multiattack, and did their job pretty well. We also don't roll initiative, and instead use initiative immediately following the summoner's, for balance and bookkeeping sanity. It felt powerful, but no more than the fireballs the sorcerer has been throwing around, or the hypnotic patterns of a bard landing and taking out half an encounter. Please tell me that the dire chicken had "Peck Tactics" as a passive ability.
