>>46506991
They have small birds in the MM. Ravens, rats, scorpions, spiders, they all have creature entries in the MM. Any DM who wouldn't let you kill them for the ability is blatantly against RAW. Heck, for rats and ravens, you don't even need the MM. They have stat blocks in the PHB that indicate they are creatures. There is absolutely no reason why you can't kill a caged rat to activate the ability.

It's not OP, it's RAW, and it's flavorful. What more could a DM want?

>DM turns my character into an innate spellcasting adult dragon with shapechange
>"Your breath weapon only recharges on a 6"
>"your fly speed is 10ft"
>"you don't get to prepare spells"
>"you need to roll a charisma check whenever you want to shapechange"

This is after months of shitting on me/my character including giving the entire group except for me a bonus feat.

Would you dump this GM?
WYDTGM?

>>46506282
Hi all. I'm posting to let people watching know that we have sent out another wave of emails to people about the commissions from Chris' GoFundMe. If the previous waves of emails got lost or trapped in the spam folder, then hopefully these ones will reach the people who still haven't been contacted.

If you donated to the GoFundMe for a commission, please check the inbox and spam folder of the email you used for that.

We really are sorry for the communication issues that this process has been having, and hope to get this show on the road once we have people responding to work with us on the commissions.

And overall, I cannot thank you enough for the money that went to help Chris.

The values of your people are as follows: Your people approve of learning and knowledge, value instinct, or being reactive. They see bargaining or compromise as a highly intelligent solution to a problem, if applicable. Self-defense and taking your own initiative is applauded, though you should make sure to plan for the future. Hatchlings are left to work stuff out for themselves, but if they prove capable of surviving and entrepaneuring, then they become a valued member of society. Derthas loathe stupidity, hesitation, being non-negotiable or just plain old being weak. They do not value the physical form, believing instead that if one should die, they will simply return again in a superior body. These things are what they base their morality upon.

You may also suggest options. Don't roll unless I call for one, when that happens I'll take best of three (though a 100 or a 1 will overrule others). I also forgot to give some biological details, considering we're going with spiders.

Your people are very strong, tough, and very intelligent, though other races may find you abhorrent. You are stealthy and expect climbers (only need a check to climb in extreme circumstances), you are very fast in short bursts, and can also burrow if you need to, forging new passageways and tunnels. You have a nasty bite that can deliver a strong paralytic venom through the saliva. You can see perfectly in the dark, but are dazzled a bit in strong light.

>I'm so creatively bankrupt that I prefer pointbuy!

>>46505879

I can't fault anyone for their choices... unless they choose to make the players roll stats.

>>46505961

So bankrupt you had to steal OP's statement

> [[ Ascheritte ]]: What do you think we should do?
> [[ Sulya ]]: ( Not sure. There’s only so much difference a small group could make. Our expedition team especially isn’t suited for combat. )
> [[ Sulya ]]: ( And who knows if thinning the numbers will have an effect? )
> [[ Sulya ]]: ( If they make it as far up as the Observatory, the sheer mass of players will rout them pretty easily. )
> [[ Sulya ]]: ( I’d try to gather more information. Ask around, the message boards, the fortune teller maybe. )
> [[ Ascheritte ]]: Lame. Alright, thanks.
> [[ Ascheritte ]]: How’s your meeting going? Dorian’s down here and Ayla’s not online, so it must have been urgent.
> [[ Sulya ]]: ( Nope. Had to chew Cardus out for up and killing himself. )

To be fair, we're currently in a simulation WITHIN the VR, so perhaps it's not the VR itself but the simulation that is lacking...

Bottom left: dueling grounds
On the right of dueling grounds: illusory gains

>>46505292

What for?

Leftmost artifact and blue enchantment are from Mercadian Masques.

Sunscape Master
Dueling Grounds
Fallen Angel
Flowstone Overseer
Latulla, Keldon Overseer
Clockwork Avian
Vizzerdrix

I'm too lazy to look for the others.

>>46505292
top row: clockwork avian, thunderscape master
second row: assembly hall, sunscape master, fallen angel, flowstone overseer, latulla keldon overseer
third row:dueling grounds, illusory gains, ???, squeeze, vizzerdrix

I don't recognize the red one from prophecy at the bottom

He looks reasonably turkic.

>>46505313
He looks Italian to me.

>>46505313

The Emperor was born thousands of years before the Turks migrated to Anatolia.

LoTC mentions that assamite sorcerers occasionally recruit from mages

How would a mage feel about that?

I'll bump you OP. I've never played Betrayal but its been discussed a lot in my group.

>>46504783
Something like Descent maybe? There are more games similiar to it, altought these are more RPG-lite than boardgames

If the crew of DS9 would set their sensors to detect frozen corpses floating in space they could probably find out.

>Have you or your players ever had to deal with a war criminal in your games? A character who seems personable and approachable at first, but you later learn has done some morally questionable or really outright evil things in the past?

Its an AdEva game. Basically everyone who has been working for Nerv for more than a couple of years is guilty of some kind of horrible crime against humanity.

Second Impact was a bad time.

Saving throw to avoid being charmed in the bedroom

>6. A big red button
The room resembles a fine dining room from an 18th century mansion. Instead of a table, though, is a big red button on a pedestal surrounded by chairs. When pushed, the doors to the room swing shut and lock, and the room begins to fill with poisonous gas.

Illithid.

>>46503821
and Illithid accessories, like slaves

>>46503821
Well, got that. That and some of those intellect devourers and then also the floaty one that's a brain with a beak and tentacles.

More like, odd constructions or little flavor things I could throw in.

I'll have a big empty pool at some point that was once for an elder brain.

>>46503708
I'll never understand why people expect "balance" in a cooperative game based around stories that's just for fun. Either go play vidya games or get over your "muh sords" penis envy.

>>46503708
I've never claimed balance but martials are definitely more fun than in previous editions.

>>46503708

You're wrong.
