LF nerds for D&D 5th edition

I am sorry for using intimidation attacks on wild animals.
especially when I roll 20+ both times.

I was not trying to kill them, I was trying to scare them away going by using the book on how to scare animals away.
But apparently your monsters don't follow the rules.

 

The goddamn punches were intimidation attacks.
The hit on the nose, me failing to bite the ear.

You never did morale checks.

He exploded a goddamn wolf and I killed 3 of them with my weapon.
How are they UN-phased?!

 

Destroyer, sirus made a animal explode and I managed to kill 3 of them.
Wolves are not retarded animals, regardless how buff they are.

They lost the number advantage, party almost wiped because of several bad rolls and you not making morale checks.
I died as a result because the GM forgot about enemy morale, where Kane enabled you to pull some bullshit.

I am not not making another character so I can Job around again and die when I get fairly powerful.

 

Yeah, back to lvl 1 is bullshit, should give him a lvl 3 character at least, 1 level lost hurts more than enough, infact I would go so far and say just reset to lvl 4 +0xp. ;/

 

No, collect the 7 dragon balls magic wish rings and tell destroyer to stop being a bitch.

 

Damn guys, I didn't think it would be this bad.

But when you say stuff like that, I know you don't realise just how much we need healing to stay alive.

I love you guys, but the fact of the matter is the characters are all hitters. Great hitters, I'll grant, but since the mermaids where Kevah was just throwing them around things have gotten a LOT harder. Around 3 times harder normally, and with spiders...well...I loved the setup, it was epic, but that fight was madness.

It's early days yet for Destroyer, and I think he's doing a pretty good job, but there will still be mistakes, and it's our job to help him as we play. We can't always ride monsters or use people as weapons, because we know that's crazy and will mess things up. Sure sometimes we can be ridiculous, but it's just not necessary all the time.

And our DM needs to figure out that sometimes (not always), when people are really into it, it's worth it to save them. You can't tell a great story with a trail of broken heroes, you need people to survive the epic scrapes, close calls, the life and death battles. People who are there for the journey.

One thing I have to add, purely from a mechanical point of view, is the party needs more diversity. I'm probably going to roll up another spellcaster of some type, but that would still leave arcane or divine magic in the wind. And those things are really helpful.

DDD, maybe it'd be a good idea to try doing something like a lesser reincarnate on Kevah. Reincarnate is a thing, but a lesser reincarnate would probably involve rerolling stats or other tweaks to the character (class etc) but retain the level (or near) and the knowledge. Reason? Kevah's insanely rolls make Teef make her do crazy things because she can.

Also, maybe we all need a look at our characters now we have access to the full rules. If people get to shift things around the balance might be a bit better (if they want, of course).

 

I play the characters strengths, yes I goofed around but that's no fun if you take it 100%, I did my thing and took it serious when it was serious and accepted the consequences when I took my bullshit too far. Not once did I complain when my character was suffering from diarrhea, and embraced it because that was the character I was playing as. My characters personality is accepting challenges and dominating with sheer will power.

Traits: I face problems head-on. A simple, direct solution is the best path to success.
I can stare down a hell hound without flinching. That is the traits I got when I rolled up this character.

Hell I spent 30 minutes strategizing and trying to get extra help for the cave because the spiders were bullshit, and ignored Bums impatient remarks.
Its almost as if he doesn't want to think things through.

And we got railroaded on that too, the only upside was being able to arm the miners. We got 0 help for a op dungeon, and all we got was 100 gold when we lost a very important member of the party. Basically the goddamn medic and moral compass for the party.

 

The game is about exploring and finding new ways to deal with things, the process is trial and error and yes it gets tedious, but the tedium prevents us from getting killed. Its puzzle solving.

 

In a game based on dice rolls.
And the 20 being the absolute truth.

You can make people do anything with anything.
For whatever reason, he just seems to move the goal post whenever I manage to crack the wall.

 

I did honestly liked how you took it to pretty extreme lengths but not insane ones all the time. I felt like you were taking it seriously when you should have been...and that's all I ask, really. But I know sometimes Destroyer didn't really seem to know how to handle your antics, and you pushed him a few times a bit hard...and it seemed like he pushed back in response, because you wouldn't really take no for an answer.

I think because sometimes even 20 doesn't cut it. Even though it's usually a natural success, sometimes the dc is like 30 or so, because it's so out of the range.

What DDD doesn't know is that you're supposed to roll at penalty in that situation. And even though 5th edition only seems to have advantage and disadvantage, you can still say things like "roll this at -5 penalty", that way if they roll high, it feels a lot more of a challenge, and people understand it's a difficult thing to do, even on a win.

Edit: I should have said that, it's roleplay not roll-play, even though it feels like it. If the DM doesn't think you're roleplaying something good enough, no roll is going to win it for you.

 

From the PHB regarding death saving throws:
"The number of
both is reset to zero when you regain any hit points or
become stable."
Btw a 10 is a success on a death saving throw
"Roll a d20. If the roll is 10 or higher, you succeed." Kevahs second fail was a 10 D:
