In my game, any magical effect can be counterspelled, and spell lists aren't hard restrictions, but more guidelines. Its worked ok so far!

My last party would make a trade agreement with the bbeg, intentionally putting his minions in danger to use the copies for whatever nefarious plan the party had in the works. Their evil creativity and gumption made them the talk of bbeg circles. I wasn't even mad at em, I was too busy being impressed.

My table had something similar to the Masteries already due to use using Grim Hollow Advanced Weapons. But now a mix of those+Weapon Masteries make a simple +1 weapon a very powerful thing for martial 😁

Cat. Just... cat :))

Clerics Arent just healers.... People forget that clerics have scary high damage spells form first level. Guided bolt for 4d6 range damage or 3d10 inflict wounds melee. One of these two spells can carry your cleric build up to 5th level.

Now I can fear a group of 25 unarmed coultists

Step one: confirm how this power actually works. Can a lone cultist do it or does it require multiple cultists working in tandem (which feels more balanced IMO like a mini-ritual)? Does the action require any kind of verbal or somatic components that a Silence spell or even a grappler not afraid of sloppy kissing their pinned opponent could disable? Note this includes ruling out that simply shedding blood is somehow risking their summoning (would feel more appropriate in a campaign inspired by the Grim Dawn Cthonic cults than anything I'm aware of from D&D but still), cause that would get super-messy in uncountable ways. Step two: take stock of action denial options from stun to rapid stealthy/isolated death and figure out how to best utilize them as we progress. Step three: stock up on Banishment spells, if this thing is a summon technically that should work.

Fighter is #1 and it really isn't close lol

New cult idea. They werent dupped into following the big bad. The big bad genuinely is horrible to everyone outside of the cult but has a genuine love for the cultists. The cultists know what theyre doing is wrong, they dont care.

"Graze is the worst". Worst take ever

Never play woke RPGs. Instead, try independent OSR rule-sets like Advanced Crimson Dragon Slayer! *CHA'ALT*

Confuse / seduce Its bardin time

How dare you my robe isn't funny looking mine has a sash now 😂

I love this :} ty.

You can even play a certain kind of music track for "shut up, we want to play now"-moments 😁

btw melee = may-lay not me-lee

Do you have any actual play videos on your channel that showcase your theory in action?

Ok, just a little imput. If i picked up on the fact that the dm was actually setting up different types of scenes beforhand. Meaning role play, combat, exploration before hand i don't think i would be down for that dm. I don't run my games like that. It totally assumes no imput or choice on the players.

I like this because it has a time constraint based on luck rather than an actual timer

Using cognitive psychology with ttrpgs is brilliant.

Great advice moving from a single token to all party tokens. It's a simple way to flip their attention and get them engaged.

Great video! Every approach/technique rings true to me, as I have experienced them in the games that I run.

🥳🫂👍🏿 Public release day 🎉 Set and setting are a great piece of advice - putting them in an exploration mode vs combat mode can prevent the type of play that I am personally not interested in, such as “I check every tile for traps” 🪤

My favorite trick: stack up that chance to 100% false answer, then ask away and long rest. If you ask in negatives, the false answer will be correct. “Where is Gillian Graymar not located?” Only works because my DM accidentally replaced “random reading” with “false reading” but it was so loved that my group made it permanent.

That is NOt the reason people dont play cleric.... if it was dmg only then they would be blind given AT FIRST LEVEL they get a dmg BEHEMOTH able to destroy lvl 5 onward foes WITH ONE SHOT! AND IT CAN BE UPSCALED!

These things only feel broken if you hate martials and think spellcasters should have all the fun.

A dual wielding rogue can use sap for getting advantage on bonus action/nick attack to make it a sneak attack.

Spoiler they used it to destroy the universe...

I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, but the bg3 trick of taking one level of wizard and using scribed spells in your spell book to access higher level wizard only spells works in 2024. So like 10 levels in sorcerer and one level of wizard should be able to scribe conjure minor elementals and prepare it.

Wouldn’t you compare the creatures in the new players handbook to their 5e versions? Or am i missing something(sincere question here)

I do wish the healing for dedicated healers was stronger because the issue I found as a main healer was everyone else had so many potions and self heal abilities as a dedicated healer I was sat there like "well I'm here" and pretty much all I could do was wait until someone died before my healing was needed. I've even played in a campaign where we've had no one as a healer and basically all but one of us was a martial class and due to healing potions and self heal abilities we've been fine

I love a mace and board cleric but rping being religious is too cringe for me

Circle of the Land Druid also gets fireball. Arid spell list.
