I know this concept was originally developed for a quick simple game to help you move through the game in a single session, but I always though it should have been called the "5 Space/Area Dungeon".

Got any ways of making modified low level creatures as bosses? I had an expanding list of creatures that would make good as a random bosses for random dungons or such. One that i liked was a rune carver imp, seprerated from their master as their task was done and taking their spell book along. Not focused on spell casting but being empowered by it. Having rune knight enlarging ability. The thought of a small creature becoming large and becoming invisible at will. That will steam roll a party member. But also not out right evil npc. This imp could trade things and info while traveling such caves. Its always nice to have rp beat combat based off circumstances.

The simplest fix is that Elistraee rejoins the elven pantheon as a gesture of reconciliation and unification. She went into exile willingly and was not banished like her mother & brother. I imagine her father welcoming her back with open arms and the rest of the elven pantheon is happy with her return

When it comes to an IU PoV with established settings like DnD or Pathfinder, a part of it is just what "undeath" means in the greater setting as a whole. How such magic interacts with lifeforce, souls, the afterlife, or the like. To say nothing of just settings where "good" and "evil" are less subjective social constructs, so much as scientifically measurable forces of nature, with entire dimensions literally made of them. Mechanics like necromancy getting a buff in some random Evil dimension kind of removes it from even being a question of "ethics". Take DnD's Evening Glory. Even trying to be a "nice" goddess of undeath, a lot of what makes her up... isn't really all that "good". More just "non malevolent"... and even that's kinda iffy when you get into her priest being Liches. Hell, the main thing that even gives "live forever with your love in undeath" any merit at all, is just how much of a crap shoot a lot of the other DnD afterlives seem to be. Without that, her whole pitch would come off as way more manipulative by nature. It's like how a hypocritical god can have both murder and public service in their portfolio, but regardless of what draws any particular worshiper to them, said god is at the end of the day their own independent being. With their own wants and motives, and thus the worshiper has no real say in what aspect of them shows up that day.

I wonder how this could be weaponized... improvised weapon with a compartment would technically be a container. Hmm

One of the most clutch escape preventions I've ever done was using Distant Spell on Arcane Lock on the door a villain was about to flee through. This and Knock are criminally underrated.

The ethical practice of necromancy - that is conjuring spirits that WANT to work with you and not forcing them to - has many benefits to it. 1) You spend less time and energy trying to assert and maintain control over them. Plus, those willing to work will have passion into their actions, possibly improving their strength. 2) This does not earn you a bad rap amongst the living or the dead. Whether you're a medium solving a murder, or a general who is asking his soldiers for one last stand against evil. 3) It's much, much safer. Not only would people go from hostile to wary, or wary to accepting, the spirits of the afterlife will be waiting for you with open arms... not claws.

Vital Sacrifice goes well with this build too if your DM rules that self-damage doesn't trigger a con save. Helps vampiric touch become an actually strong spell as its like you are upcasting by two levels for just a 1d6 of damage youll heal back

Arcane Lock also allows Magic Mouth to interact with the physical world through using the password, so now you can use Magic Mouth to automate things.

Haven’t encountered Shadows yet because I’m currently dming for all of my players first time and it is my first time playing dnd too, but I’m planing to play strahd after I finish Phandelver, not gonna be happy after that encounter cause I already killed one of my players in the first combat of the first session

2k gp to buy a wondrous item with unlimited uses of first level spells. Just sayn

Loving the Pokemon content, but just curious whats the interest in space themed Pokemon all of a sudden?

I'd love to see your take on an Ultimate Innkeeper. A character that can use Demiplane, and long term beneficial spells, such as Hallow, glyphs of warding, etc.

Hm. It's got some really poor combat ability and terrible defenses until 7th level. So, be sure you know how your DM runs Stealth, Hiding, and Surprised. Also talk with your table about letting you get enemies with Surprised to buy them turns and keep you relevant. Do note that campaign-specific backgrounds are not usually expected to be allowed outside of those campaigns, so ask your DM if it's okay first. This would really only work well in a low-combat campaign that's all about sneaking and heists, kinda like Keys from the Golden Vault (which I'm playing in currently!) I would generally expect a well-built Druid to out-perform this for Stealth opportunities, and a Hexblade+Gloomstalker will probably deal five times as much damage while achieving most of the same Stealth abilities. There's also lots of room to optimize the build even as it is. But, it's a fun idea! Thanks for the video!

Ayy, one of my favorite Legendaries, I love space virus

You are in error as to your interpretation of statistics. It is an easy enough mistake to make as the following sentence refers to keeping your INT, WIS, and CHA one might infer that statistics only mean STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, and CHA but if you look at the find familiar spell it says you summon the spirit of a celestial, fey, or fiend and it takes an animal form of a beast and has it's statistics. Do we only use the STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, and CHA of the beast chosen when following those instructions for having those statistics or do we use the entire stat block. The word stat in stat block is actually short for statistics. Therefore when magic jar says we get the statistics of the creature they mean each and every single thing in that stat block, except for what they exclude... which is INT, WIS, and CHA, and also any class feature, but that leaves the entirety of the stat block to work with. Why else do you think this spell is 6th level has such precarious conditions? Simply for some STR, DEX, and CON plus little else? No. This spell is evil but it is also 6th level and quite powerful.

I love this!! This is hands down my favorite Pokémon!❤

Had a Halfling Fighter, Cade Lockfoot, an Irish Halfling that came out of retirement from his days of being a weapon and supply Quartermaster for mercenaries. Had a shield and hand crossbow. Acted like it was one object as a Shield Bow. Due to being a Halfling, I would stand between people's legs and use the fighting style to intercept attacks on my allies. Blocking more than 150+ damage through the campaign. Having max dex and Halfling luck, couldn't land a shot for my life. Got 5 attacks that landed. So I built into my support using this feat and inspiring leader. It's ironic seeing I was also a samurai. The fighter that couldn't fight, BUT dang did I carry my wizard and other casters to victory by being the living shield.

There was no reason for the lore update. The good drow city would not exist because they would have been destroyed by invading Lolth forces. And the notion that Drow are born evil is dumb, but Lolth has created a Society that has perfected kill out compassion and good. Drizzt only lives because Lolth wanted it to happen. Drizzt existing creates chaos and thats her middle name.

This with reborn on target awesome . Looking to play this

Well now i have one of two uses for this amazing build. Either use it in an upcoming out of the abyss campaign my friend is setting up, or alter it for a gestalts rule one-shot based around Keys from the Golden Vault. Either way my DM is going to hate me as i will forever be in the walls when the time comes.

Hm. "Infiltration" I associate more with being in disguise, a double agent, impersonation and the like. In which case I would focus on Deception rather than Stealth.

I've slapped this (via the background) on my lv 4 zealot barbarian dwarf and let me tell you: people were *not* prepared to see the barbarian open up preparations for the fight with fog cloud!

I recently made a drow twilight domain cleric and in doing some research decided to choose Eilistraee for her goddess. Also found some current lore that after a century long absence she has recently returned to the Realms and it somewhat coincided with Mystra's return. In fact Mystra, in an effort not to be targeted so much and not have the Realms suffer whenever something happens to her or the Weave has decided to share the Weave with both Azuth and Eilistraee. I can see future lore maybe having these 3 gods be known as the magic 3 in opposition to the dead 3 (Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul). But more importantly Eilistraee as both added to her domain by expanding how many things she is the goddess of... and having the Weave be shared with her... I feel she can be nothing less then one of the most powerful gods in existence, probably even rivaling Ao... or at least coming close, maybe even surpassing him or defeating him by making him no longer relevant, or necessary, maybe she even takes his place. But the one thing I truly hope for is to have her ultimately and forever defeat Lloth and assume the head of the drow pantheon. She has already settled her old dispute with her brother Vhaeraun and with some epic storytelling getting rid of Lloth and reshuffling the pantheon to change or invent some good or neutral drow gods would be the most amazing and fun thing.

I will start using "Smurfneblin" now. Does this build out-rogue the rogue?

But...drow as a "race" have never ever been inherently evil. Their evil was due to the active influence of chaotic, capricious, vile gods which most of them never got the chance to choose. Nearly any drow that got a chance to taste something different - and truly believed that something different was possible, and not just a test of loyalty - showed their capacity for change.

My dc20 character is level 2 with 1 charisma, id immediately turn

DM: “You grab the hilt of the sword and pull the sword is still stuck to the stone. Make perception check.” PC: “15” DM: “That’s perfect, after you gave the sword a few pulls and found that it’s stuck, you suddenly realize that The sword won’t just budge from the rock your hands now won’t budge from the sword.” PC: “wait does that mean…” DM: “… that is when you see a mouth open up along the tang of the blade, revealing rose upon rose of sharp teeth, and a long tongue as the sword mimic has snagged its next snack. Everyone roll for initiative.”

That is going to be added to the next encounter. It's going to be a dullahan with a vargouille.

There are a lot of creatures in DND that should be used more. Like a Nothic, another cursed creature who's been corrupted by Vecna's knowledge. I personal like the idea of a wizard who's cursed by this and constantly writing their ideas and thoughts down before their brain is wiped each morning. Also meaning spells are picked at random.

Does it work with attacks individually? So if a guy does 32 damage with 6 individual hits, do I negate 18 dmg, or just 3, even though the DM made it seem like on big chunk of damage?

This is your 1 level dip boys.

Dude all youe art is rllllly good

I love your art!!! Maybe staryu is a fallen star?

I'm in a pirate campaign and my DM gave one of the first big enemies a mimic pirate ship. We wound up getting the jump on the villain and taking the ship for our own, but now we have to hunt large monsters to keep it fed lmao

We takin down Strahd with this one bois

Your party is in a nice tavern they lay down to get a well deserved night sleep. Safe and cozy in the most comfortable bed they've ever slept in, making sure their feet aren't hang out so the monsters under the bed can't get them. Then just as they begin to fall asleep..bed mimic

Dopple-mimics.... they are normal mimics that can kinda copy the creatures they eat. Have it eat a players horse. Now when, Rizzle the Endowed goes to saddle his horse...

A pointy hat .. the wizard loved it, until it was trying to eat his head 😂

I was running my own little first original one-shot, and in cave party found a keychain, and later in the village, they found a home, and keys originally meant for this door, but druid decided to try to melt a hanging lock on the door, revealing what house was actually a four mimics pretending to be a house)

Had a mimic species in one game I ran once, they disguised as humans but...not properly. They couldn't mimic faces, only cloaks because the being that created them was a wizard. So they all looked like varying cloaks, some even generated magic to look enchanted. When worn they'd entrap the wearer, now victim. When travelling to New locations however, they'd use an internal muscle or gland of some kind that's designed to look like a porcelain mask of a human face, in the face hole of the cloak, to blend in. It's...not perfect and is often more unsettling. But these 'cloakers' were fun to use to mess with the players. Glad to see I'm not the only one making different mimic types! Always kinda hated that they were only shown to be chests.

Im never gonna trust another sword again

Anything a halfling can fit through you can too

Book mimic.

If you roll high enough, you can tame the mimic. And now you have a living sword.

Never played dnd but making a mimic out of a gemstone sounds pretty awesome

I like to imagine some mimics 'learn' what to transform into by what items go missing in their environment. So I may hint about a mimic by talking about loot, and if the party remembers that someone already took this and it should be here, they get to feel clever. If they don't, I can remind them of the hint, and they can't be too grumpy about being fooled by a mimic. Would recommend XD
