THREAD QUESTION:
>What's the most clever use of pets/animals you've ever seen in your games?
I"ll DM for the first time and I have six hours to prepare everything, any tips?
Anyone got any advice on my homebrew here?
I've got good responses, bad responses, and have been working on it touch and go for a while now. All I really need is an equipment section and making MU 'feats' and I'll have a good player manual for my game. I'd love any feedback, especially on those two needed elements.
>>51938911
Read the AD&D DMG (by Gygax)
Make sure you and your players are on the same page (have the same expectations, etc.)
Try to settle player disputes out-of-game.
If you have time, read part of Master of the Game (by Gygax)
Don't hesitate to retcon (but run changes by your players first)
If you haven't introduced a setting element yet, your changes to it aren't even retcons
>for the first time

Read through your module ahead of time
Would you or have you played a fat character before?

How does lichdom work in your campaign? Are you satisfied with the rules presented in Curse of Strahd?Because I'm not.
Reposting because new thread.
Reading the Warlock UA, I feel like I want to make a Tank lock.
Go Warlock, pick fey, and take Green Lords gift.
Now go full life cleric and find access to heavy armour. Go with a shield, and whatever pact you want (maybe tome for defensive cantrips I dunno.) And be fucking unkillable to anything that can't 1-shot you.
That invocation seems retarded. I actually hope I am reading it wrong. But I am genuinely considering it, because I am in a Party with a Cleric, a support Bard, a Paladin, and a Druid. Literally everybody has healing, and this invocation would be fucking bullshit the later into the game we get.
>>51981678
I don't read campaigns I am not planning to run. What are the CoS Lich rules?
In my group's setting there is only one Lich so far and he might be a dimension hopper as we as group haven't really decided if he is just a reference to a Lich from a past campaign or is actually him.
Does Tales From The Yawning Portal look good?
Worth the price or easier to just download the original adventures and convert?

War and Conquest
26th February in military history:
1233 – Mongol–Jin War: The Mongols capture Kaifeng, the capital of the Jin dynasty, after besieging it for months.
1266 – Battle of Benevento: An army led by Charles, Count of Anjou, defeats a combined German and Sicilian force led by Manfred, King of Sicily. Manfred is killed in the battle and Pope Clement IV invests Charles as king of Sicily and Naples.
1815 – Napoleon Bonaparte escapes from Elba.
1935 – Adolf Hitler orders the Luftwaffe to be re-formed, violating the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles.
1935 – Robert Watson-Watt carries out a demonstration near Daventry which leads directly to the development of radar in the United Kingdom.
1936 – In the February 26 Incident, young Japanese military officers attempt to stage a coup against the government.
1987 – Iran–Contra affair: The Tower Commission rebukes President Ronald Reagan for not controlling his national security staff.
1992 – Nagorno-Karabakh War: Khojaly Massacre: Armenian armed forces open fire on Azeri civilians at a military post outside the town of Khojaly leaving hundreds dead.
It is 751 years since the Battle of Benevento was fought near Benevento, in present-day Southern Italy. It was waged between the troops of Charles of Anjou and Manfred of Sicily. Manfred's defeat and death resulted in the capture of the Kingdom of Sicily by Charles, effectively ending the rule of the Hohenstaufen in the Italian Peninsula. The Papacy had long been in conflict with the Imperial house of Hohenstaufen over their rule in Italy. At the time of the battle, the Hohenstaufen ruler in the Kingdom of Sicily (which included Sicily and southern Italy) was Manfred, illegitimate son of Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor. While the rightful heir to the kingdom was Frederick's legitimate grandson Conradin, he was young and safely across the Alps in Bavaria. Taking advantage of a false rumor of Conradin's death, Manfred had usurped the throne in 1258. Pope Urban IV determined to wrench the Kingdom from him, and in 1263, concluded a secret treaty with Charles of Anjou, giving him the Sicilian throne.
Charles reached Rome in 1265, but was temporarily halted by financial embarrassments. Manfred, however, did not take the field against him until January 1266, when Charles' main army had crossed the Alps. Alarmed by desertions among his followers and fearing further treachery, Manfred sought to bring Charles to battle as swiftly as possible. Charles attempted to turn Manfred's position at Capua by a perilous crossing of the Apennines which wrecked his supply line; but Manfred had intelligence of his move and lay in a strong position across the River Calore, crossed only by one bridge.

I think that achieving comfy is possible but it is also an overused buzzword.Molthune knights did this.
Third for best race.
>>51979359No, the PLAYERS of Molthune Knights did this. Grape ice cream rest in peace.
Charisma has no right to exist. It's not an attribute that has independent existence in real life. Charisma is really a combination of social skills, intelligence and physical fitness (constitution).
Instead, one attribute that should definitely exist but almost never does is memory. Memory is definitely separate from intelligence (Chinese students are a great example), it can actually be trained, arguably as opposed to intelligence, and on many occasions when a game uses intelligence, it actually means memory, such as when memorising spells.
>>51978528
That's great but you're totally fucking wrong about Charisma. I've seen fat stupid dudes in real life that can charm the fuck out of a party just because they're sociable and fun to be around. Charisma is totally independent of intelligence or constitution.
>>51978528
And how would you make a class mechanically or fluff-wise feel different if it had memory rather than intelligence as an ability?
It's not like 'Dexterity' is a real life thing as the stat is either. Asking a stage magician to tightrope walk won't get you good results most of the time.
>>51978528
Intelligence is the ability to memorize useful information. Wisdom is the ability of applying that information.

Tessagog is a character that was physically
designed around the idea of being a Frankenstein of popular female characters on /tg/.
>the body is both statuesque and stacked with Sorceress TnA and covered in Liliana markings with Yukinas chiseled back. She also has the Sisters of Battle's shoulder pauldrons with the Lady of Pain's blade feathers decorating it like a cape while also wearing Snake scale gauntlets. She has Marcille's pointed elf ears and blonde hair. She weilds dual dwarven axes. She has Celestines child bearing hips and Alariels perfect calves/thighs. She has sexy yellow Orc eyes with a Red Sonja inspired chainmail bikini top. She has creamy asian colored skin and wears Greek inspired Greaves with leather strapped backs and Orc carvings in the armor while being bare footed. She has a thin, Whale Tail styled chainmail loin cloth bottom with a wolf head sporran in front of it.
The current lore is that she was raised by her father as part of a spiritualist warrior tribe, and when she came of age she went on a journey to become stronger and learn of the world, as is tradition in the tribe. The only possession she took with her was her fathers enchanted axe. After returning from her journey she sets out to fulfill her ambition and rule all northern tribes of a currently unamed land, although the name ou/tg/rounds was suggested. On this journey she will make two party members, a wizard and a rouge, one should be meek, and the other charismatic and cunning. She will also get a wolf companion, another magic axe, and the runes that protect her on this journey.
I'll also post the draft I posted in the previous thread.
Tessagog's first hurdle
Tessagog succeeds on her own
Tessagog's second hurdle
Tessagog gets her wolf
Teesagog and wolf overcome hurdle
Third Hurdle
Tessagog will need a party member
Tessagog gets party member 1
Tessagog and PM1 overcome hurdle
fourth hurdle
PM2 is needed and acquired
fourth hurdle is completed
Final hurdle of her journey is met and completed with the whole party.
Also mask Tessagog
A suggestion I made earlier was for her first hurdle to be against a band or orc raiders that she defeats to leverage a town into giving her supplies.
