Neat.

Which one is better for Wizard (with a Cleric dip, probably Tempest for channel divinity)

Hill Dwarf 12 14 12(+2) 14 13(+1) 8
High Elf 10 12(+12) 14 15(+1) 13 8

Hill Dwarf can wear Heavy armor and has more HP, and can perform some Cleric spell adequately with 14 WIS.

But Elf actually start with 16 INT.

I like most of the spells in this UA.
Say a rogue dipped into ranger and is able to cast Zephyr Strike. Could he apply Zephyr to himself, and then next turn make an attack and then dash as a bonus action and move 120ft?

>>52525663
I feel like an Oni is far enough away from the flavor and stats of Tieflings that you would be better off fluffing something else like Half-Orc or Goliath.

>>52525553
Find Familiar takes an hour to cast. The wording isn't clear, but I don't think the target can cast the spell within the hour they have.

>>52525695

Half-Oni would certainly be less boring than standard goliath that's for sure.

My players are trying to get Hill Giants to the top of the Ordning for shits and giggles and the belief that Hill Giants being in power would bring widespread disaster that they could capitalize on. (Edgy like that I guess)

What does it actually mean to be at the top of the Giant Ordning in practical terms? How would I even have that play out?

Is roll20 kill?

Does anyone have an oddly tanky player? I have one player who just can't help but want to tank, yet never plays Barbarian.
The first real campaign we had, he felt an actual sense of shame after a Barbarian joined our group and he (a fighter) didn't have the highest max hp.
Then he tried coming off as some kind of tank as an Eldritch knight (though it was a party of low hp magic-users), even though a cleric just about matched his hp. It's going to break his heart when a goblin Barbarian that's joining overtakes his hp next session.
Finally, just a week or two ago, we played a one off and I suggested he try out a full-caster. He said sure and went Bard. EXCEPT HE TOOK THE TOUGH FEAT JUST TO BE SURE HE HAD THE HIGHEST HEALTH. Of course he ended up getting surpassed by a Paladin in the group.
I just don't know why he wants to get smacked around so badly.

>>52525982
> Use marriage ceremony before the final battle and defeat BBEG with the power of love

THEORY

Ravenloft is a region that's been whisked away by a Mythal, and the Dark Powers are immortal/undead/demi-god casters from the era of Netheril-tier wizards, and Straud was their dupe to complete a ritual that took Ravenloft into a demi-plane.

How does one bring it back? I was thinking of going Witcher on the Curse of Straud, and resurrecting Straud's brother, save Tatianna's current reincarnation, and void the components of the curse.

But I figured it would also be a good idea to kill Baba Lysaga just in case, and destroy the Vestiges in the Amber Temple, just to be extra sure.

>>52525982
Who said polygamy isn't legal?

>>52526040

The marriage must be consummated to be recognized.

>>52526040

It's like poetry

Of course nothing prevents you from marrying multiple people so you whole party could be one big polyamorous fun house.

Alternatively you could power up the BBEG like Strahd by having him marry an NPC right before the final showdown.

>>52526065
The spell

>>52526077

Only 2 people can get married per ceremony, it says nothing about only being able to get married once or to one person with a second casting.

>>52526036
Yeah didn't look good.

Some things it does have going for it is if you use Empowered Spell and Twined Spell the chance of it having at least one Bounce goes up and it would average more damage then a Chromatic Orb.

Also the Spell Bombardment ability for Wild Magic Sorcerers might interact with it in a weird way.

I swear to christ if somebody says "check em" when getting dubs for chaos bolt that'll be grounds for instant dismissal from my games.

You can't expend a spell slot to cast it, therefore you can't hand it over.
Same with magic initiate.

You could multiclass for it, but that would be

You'd have to be an arcana cleric or theurgist wizard, and that's
>combining two UAs for broken effect
If you can even call arcana cleric a UA, anyway.

Absolutely fine.

It's not swapping for wis/con/dex (the better stats), there's still the +1 int which has anti-synergy, the Oni idea really fits it and it's not like you can cast the few spells you get while raging anyway.

3 levels is still a dip in a way, such as a paladin dipping for shillelagh.

You can say similarish things about fighter, though cleric is particularly bad because it keeps spell progression somewhat similar.

A better system is that you get light armour and shields with one level, medium armour with two levels and heavy armour with three levels. Or, heck, medium and heavy armour at two levels if you're so inclined.
Sure, you can still set up a tempest with the 'do max lightning damage' ability or a fighter with action surge or a paladin's smites, but at least you're not saying 'Okay, in exchange for not knowing spells one level higher every other level, I'm going to get +10 AC'.

Would making Chaos Bolt scale with d8 really break anything as long as you put a cap on the bouncing equal to spellcasting modifier? I mean you can likely do 8d8 damage to 5 creatures while casting it in a 6th level slot then, which seems reasonable compared to shit like Fireball.

I started playing D&D a few months back. Since I was a noob surrounded by people who knew how to play I figured I would ask all my stupid questions to an NPC and have the DM answer them without breaking immersion. Since we were playing a pirate-easque campaign we were often couped up on a ship, so I asked all my questions to the same NPC whom I would inexplicably summon. I called him simply Old Man.

I invoked the name of Old Man so frequently that other PC's began to do so too. He became an established member of the crew, addressed by even other NPC ship officers. My character naturally got to know Old Man very well and I became the closest one to him. We were best friends.

Well, the DM must have gotten bored of our chumminess or perhaps thought my training wheels neededto come off. He designed to kill Old Man.

But he couldn't.

Every single time he tried to kill Old Man, he failed. He threw him headlong into evermore dangerous, stupid situations.

Jumping onto a boat made of fire, blowing up the helm, jumping off the stern to grab the rudder and manually guide it into the enemy fleet only to have it self destruct? He survived it. Twice.

Attacking an ice dragon by climbing to the top mast and throwing bombs at it while his body is still covered in third degree burns only to have your legs frozen and shattered? Yup, survived that, too.

The Dwarves in game made a statue to him.

Finally, the DM gave up. He couldn't kill Old Man, so he ascended him. It just so happened my character was a Cleric. I am now the First Mate of Old Man, blessed be his name.

I am currently working on the Book of Old Man and actively spreading his faith in the campaign. Blessings of Old Man upon you, friends.

True. My main gripe is that it's the first Sorcerer only spell and it's not that great. I'm not normally one to change spells at my table but I feel like this should be at least a classic spell the Sorcerer turns to.

Maybe something with enough d6's having the same result lets you bounce it?

Nah man, Old Man is cool as fuck. This guy is the boldest, most audacious baddass you have ever known, and he's just a cantankerous old sea dog who can't die! He encourages drinking, partying, confidence, loyalty, risky and bold action, and his domain is Luck. Old Man will not accept anyone to be his follower who is celibate or a prude. Sex and drink and rock n roll. Old Man is the coolest Old Man god there is!

He also has a decent moral foundation to his faith, too.

>>52526625

To your "originality", I bring to bare my own unoriginality: “Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to." ― Jim Jarmusch

Circle of Twilight Druid ability: Grim Harvest. Add an extra 1d10 to any attack roll (amount you can add is the same as your Druid level cut in half)
Wizard: Magic Missile. Roll one attack roll of 1d4+1, all missiles auto-hit.

Level 19 Druid, Level 1 Wizard, cast Magic Missile as a high level spell slot and add in 9d10 Necrotic for every single bolt. A 7th Level Spell Slot would do this:

((1d4+1)+(9d10))*10

Minimum damage to a single target is 110 hitpoints, with highest possible damage to a single target being 950 damage. This is assuming you can't Tri-class, because if you can, you can dip into Fighter for Action Surge, which gives you the change to do this twice per turn.

The goddess embodies all that is good about the half-elves. Their spontaneity, their beauty, their creativity, their wanderlust and appreciation of wonderful things. She serves to bring the scattered half-elves together.

Half-elves seem to always be told that their natural instincts are wrong. Settle down. Conform. Do what you are told. "You are a fucking freak half-breed". So She unites them, an untapped resource of creativity and inner strength, and uses them to make Faerun a better place. A more beautiful place.

If you were a half elf, what god would you follow? Even silly halflings have an entire pantheon to pick from. The elven gods, some of them at least, may accept you, but only as step children. Evermeet is no home to you. The human kingdoms are no home to you. Shall you have your ears clipped and try to pass for humans, and watch as those you love and surround yourself with all die off? Or shall you go to Evereska and be spit at? Or shall you follow Lissandri, and simply be yourself?

Many races have gods with overlapping portfolios, I don't mind that. Lissandri simply embodies all that is best about half elves. Music, beauty, wanderlust, and a natural green thumb.

If a multiclass combination can't be justified then either the DM is stubborn or the player is terribly uncreative. Like what >>52527001 said, a multiclass combination can be a class unto itself.

>>52526992
It'll still be fucking OP, just not so overwhelmingly so.

Look at a normal Druid spell. A PHB Druid spell, even. Thunderwave. Level 10. Cast as a 5th level spell, that's 7d8 damage + 5d10. Lowest possible damage, that's 12, but maximum damage is 106.

how is it that literally every third or so thread there's some idiot who still doesn't know what the nuclear druid is. How many new people do we actually get in these shitty threads.

Friend wants to play a Bladelock for my campaign. Essentially she has gone 2 lvls into fighter and are gonna drop the rest into Warlock. She asked if we can customize her patron to help fight the character she had in mind for. Her idea is for it to be a Red or Gold Dragon and basically gives her abilities to be a melee combatant with some cool fire abilities. So far I decided to build up a spell list for this patron (without copying too much from the Fiend). Here is what I was able to put together for someone wanting to do fire damage and buff spells for melee.

lvl 1 Shield, Searing Smite
lvl 2 Enlarge/Reduce, Aganazzar's Scorcher
lvl 3 Haste, Fireball
lvl 4 Fireshield, Elemental Bane
lvl 5 Immolation, Conjure Elemental

Opinions? This is my first time as a DM trying to homebrew something this intense.

>>52527082
More and more.

Should the Cleric's Divine Strike and Potent Spellcasting be interchangeable? Feels like it'd let people choose the type of Cleric they want to be.

>>52527045
He could follow him, I guess. But I think many half-elves would hate the stuffy halls of a library. They are explorers and wanderers. They know who they are, they don't need books to tell them. The Crossroads Cathedral is a giant greenhouse where services are held among the splendors of nature. There are half-elf members of every other faith, but they don't have their own, as a people. Oghma concerns himself with gathering and preserving knowledge. Lissandri concerns herself with the half-elf people and their future on Faerun.

I mean, halflings could worship Mask, but Brandobaris has that certain little halfling touch that wins them over. It's the same here.

>>52527072
> using minimum and maximum instead of average damage
Why? The more dice you roll, the closer it will be to the rule of average and all.

>>52526971
My character IS a Half-Elf. She follows Old Man. He encourages her to do whatever the hell she wants.

Yeah, Lissandri seems to bemost closely related to the Roman God Fufluns (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fufluns). Life, happiness, plant growth, etc. I think I also recall vaguely some Elvish deity from LotR lore being essentially the same thing, though I forget the name.

More broadly, she is a composite of many Gods. There are only so many points of a faith to focus on, after all. Here, look at this:

You can only grant one use of one level one spell. In essence, you give the target your spell slot for an hour.

It's not though. It's made to let a Druid be able to deal damage even though he's a Support Caster.

If he's level 10 he can do that twice before being made a normal Druid. They don't have many good damage spells.

>>52527085
Here's a few more I can think of.
lvl 1 Burning Hands
lvl 2 Flaming Sphere, Scorching Ray
lvl 4 wall of fire
lvl 5 flame strike

If your player wants cool fire abilities, wall of fire is probably one of the better choices

True, but again wasn't trying to copy Fiend too much. Also trying to balance it out with buff spells as well such as Enlarge/Reduce and Haste.

Kensai is pretty good and Long Death gets the awesome level 3 ability.

Oh, he knows who he is.
He is the ill gotten son, the shame of his kin.
He's quest is one of fear, shame, pride and knowledge.

>>52527174
Aren't Hexblades already pretty strong as-is? And concentrating on Haste would prevent them from doing other stuff, like smiting. Maybe that would make it balanced.

>>52527195
he's no good at all!!

>>52527166
The honesty is appreciated. However I decided I am just gonna have her take "The Ancient Dragon" homebrewed patron and just swap out the spell list for what I make up. Also just change the lvl 1 feature but unsure -how-

>>52527211
Yeah the Hexblade's strong mostly thanks to all the on-hit effects it can pump onto attacks. +10 from Charisma, the +1/+2/+3 Pact Weapon, Elemental Weapon, Hexblade Curse.

I love Elemental Weapon but replacing it with Haste most likely would've made more sense from a design point.

>>52527157
Long death

>I get knocked down, but I get up again ain't never gonna keep me down

>>52527215
He is.
I was trying to make him sound as edgy as possible.
Other way around now.

A half-elf wanders the countryside, with naught but his notebook, wits and a knife. He searches for the mother that left him after his father's death, and her acceptance.

I'm sure it's been asked to death, but what's so bad about 4 Elements monk? I haven't looked closely at it. And, of course, what changes would you make to it? Are there any good fixes out there?

Are there DMs who seriously play like this? Like erecting a fucking wall between you and your players. I can't see how that's very personable at all.
Also that has to be super awkward during combat where you're either precariously reaching over your wooden fortress, or spending the entire time standing behind one of your players and reaching over him.

>>52527174
I feel like there are spells that fall into a uniform category, spells that are "pure magic" in theme. Magic Missile, Haste, Ray of Frost, stuff like that. Warlocks do not get those types of spells, but weird archetypes that draw from that magic pool do (Eldritch Knight and Arcana Cleric for example)

I don't really know how to explain it

Dm-ed for the first time tonight. Ran the back half of the intro of SKT. started with the party leaving nightstone and ran the seven snakes encounter.

How do you guys go about speeding your games up and guiding the players? We ran for 3 hours tonight and the party did some rp in nightstone, fought the zhentarim bandits, and then spent some time interrogating xolkin, who they captured. I had them travel for a day and their last watch ended with the approach of zephyros' castle. I feel like we didn't get much done for the time we played, but I'm okay with that because they had fun. I don't want to rush the party, but what are some ways you guys speed up the game?

>>52527288
I kinda get what you're saying. The way Warlocks get weird stuff from various spell lists whereas Haste is more a classic spell. More of something you specifically go out to learn rather then just cast, from an in universe point of view.

Also it does suddenly boost them to 3 Attacks per round at level 5. I don't think there's any other class that can do that.

I still personally would like to see it on their list if it ever gets published but I won't be overly disappointed if it isn't.

With close examination, that looks right.

Basically
>>52527299
Coupled with the fact that because all the spells take a full action you don't get to do cool shit like flurry. And once you run out of ki you don't feel much like an elemental monk.

They could've at least given it a damaging cantrip similar to the energy beam thing mystics get as a talent.

If I were to remake it, I'd say fuck the spells system it has and make it more akin to a totem barbarian where you have a choice of what to take as you level up with an option for each element.

I cast Haste a lot on my fighter. I wouldn't say he's OP, mostly because I put a crutch on myself as consequence. If he were an Eldritch Knight and was doing that to himself at level 5, then yeah he'd sorta be broken with his 3 attacks

I feel the only archetype it would fit in with would be Archfey, due to their "pure magic" nature. I'm sure its only a matter of time before they introduce another stupid archetype, this time for Warlock that states "oh and you have access to all of the Wizard's spells"

Mystic isn't bad. Its the opposite of bad, its too good. They don't have to tryhard at all to get like 21 AC and high damage at a low level.

You'll end up having to decide between having fights that are too hard for the rest of the players, or fights that are boring because your spellcaster is killing and tanking everyone while no one else fights

>>52527011

If the group is taking too long deliberating, just make something happen. The NPC has to leave for a meeting, or a patrol comes by as they're spending half an hour deciding how to break into the dungeon, or tell them the sun is setting soon and the mission will be a lot harder when it's dark.

New UA that came out today.

Thinking of sending my PC's consciousnesses back in time, into the bodies of characters living a generation or two in the past (basically; the thing that happened in Final Fantasy 8). They'd get the chance to witness certain events first hand, and possibly even change them.

They'd get new character sheets along with a change of race, class, and level, and even though it's only for a session or two, I'm afraid of the players being annoyed that I'm forcing them to play completely different characters to their own.

Is this a bad idea?

Depends on your players really. I'd find it fun.

i think it would be fun, but id be a bit PO if i had to play a class I wasn't really into, which would ruin a few sessions.

idk, maybe keep the classes?

So trying to change the lvl 1 feature of the Ancient Dragon Patron homebrew so it fits more for a melee fighter for my player.

What I came up with was this
Dragons Rage: For 5 rounds you have advantage on all Str, Athletics, Intimidation checks. Your melee weapon damage die is doubled and you gain temp hp equal to your max. You lose this temp hp at the end of this ability and all opponents have advantage when attacking you. This ability can only be used once per day.

Too powerful? It seems like it to me.

>>52528041

Hello friends.

I picked up 5e recently to play with an old group of mine from high school. I remember them enjoying a horror-themed campaign and I'd like to try and re-live it. Only problem is they're a lot older now and it's getting hard to spook them. I've looked over a lot of the 3.5e material, but I was curious if anything relevant has come out since.

Are there any resources or websites that could help with a 5e horror campaign?

sounds like you need a bit of this then

>>52528079
Sounds cool! Just realize if even a single thing changes that would even nudge one of the character's ancestors in the wrong way, or a different way, they will not be born. So make sure to have it be a looping timeline, where everything they've done was already established as the past, or have them go to alternate timelines if they change the past, because there would be different people born to their parents instead of them.

>>52528079
Best idea is to have them use their character sheets, but with aesthetic and inventory makeovers. Tie it in just like FF8 did, where the PCs consciousnesses "buff" the characters living in the past with all of their class levels. It all adds to the player's believability that they could then change events.

How people create NPCs blocks? They use photoshop or there is a website/tool that does it?

>>52528296
Seconding the adding of sanity. Use some decent low volume music as ambiance: Bloodborne ost is great. Ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlQcKBUcgmA

Maybe have monsters that they catch a glimpse of moving into a room, but when they follow into the room there's nothing there and no secret doors. Things talk to them in their mind in indiscernible sounds broken with understandable words like "hunger", "flesh", "desire", etc. Stuff like that.

Are the classes and class options from the D&D wiki any good/balanced?
I've heard that 5e has rules to make your own classes somewhere and I wasn't even sure if any of them may have been made with those rules.

>>52528577
If you really want to simulate FF8 you should make the players rewrite their character sheet the exact same way every time they change characters.

>>52528714
dnd wiki is litterally trash and full of broken shit.

Mother FUCKER that pissed me off. Still passively mad almost 2 decades later.

Is there anything that says a Tiefling is always born to human parents? Fluff wise, could my Tiefling's parents be dwarves or something?

>>52528742
Fuck.
Is there any solid rules for making a new class then. DM manual looks pretty vague.

If I wanted to play a rouge that was more of an Indiana Jones style rouge rather then the "Lol I roll to steal! xDddd" cliche, how would I go about it? I've got a potential game coming up, and I haven't played much of 5th.

I don't have much faith in the group, but I want to at least play an interesting character just in case. We'll be level 1, so I need a good excuse to be out and about as well. However, I'm more looking at crunch to match the character.

>>52528835
i thought tieflings originally started as some sort of human empire that bargained with demons? also tiefling "blood" is so potent it basically overwrites any other dna. though i guess theoretically a tiefling born to dwarves wouldn't be unheard of. there wouldn't be much difference than other tieflings besides upbringing tho

>>52528860
Swashbuckler, probably.

>>52528860
go whips (finesse reach weapon) and then at lvl 4 get dual wielder. dual wield whips and snipe at people from 10 ft away (15 if you're a bugbear)

Are there any league edits of the Jack Black/elmo stop-sign meme?

>>52528891
wait a sec ignore me im in the wrong place

One of my players wants a Bloodbourne-style weapon that can transform between two weapons. Specifically, a rapier and a whip, so 1d8 piercing and 1d4 slashing with reach, both finesse. I'm trying to decide how to give this some mechanical benefit, since switching weapons the old-fashioned way is a free action anyway and just saying "yeah it counts as both" is lame.

If we're going purely by what the weapons do in Bloodbourne, maybe transforming the weapon could be a bonus action that transforms the weapon and then performs an extra attack, but gives incoming attacks advantage until the player's next turn, kind of like the barbarian's reckless attack. Extra attacks are extremely powerful, though... so maybe transforming just adds a small flat damage boost to a successful hit?

Any ideas appreciated

When are they gonna fix Gnolls

>>52528840
Most people suggest refluffing a current class to fit what you want.

>>52528927
they never will, you fucking furfag.

>>52528902
the bonus action attack is a good idea but potentially powerful (imagine a barbarian combining this with reckless attack). but if it doesn't seem like he's trying to metagame, just do it anyways. perhaps if he swaps weapons and makes an attack with both he gets a small bonus to AC until the start of his next turn? (+1)

>>52528860
Well Swashbuckler if you want to be a charismatic kind of Treasure Hunter.

Thief for the more classic kind. Honestly they get the acrobatic bonuses, jumping, climbing, using items and the ADV on Stealth means you don't have to put Expertise in it and you'll still be good.

How many free attacks?

You only get one free object interaction per turn. You can't stow and draw a weapon in the same turn unless you're a rogue of the thief archtype and use your bonus action to do so.

>>52525644
Probably wouldn't allow it under normal circumstances.

I'd go with RAI being the same as everything else- you can't make the target cause self harm, but if you make it run over a concealed trap, that's fair game. Straight off a sidewalk on that 100 meter tall tower? No.

It could at least cost gold

>>52529029
They already did way worse than this with the theurgy subclass.

Are there any rules concerning body part targeting ? Think fallout 2 style.

Even if homebrew or UA ?

>>52529097
No and its a gay idea honestly

Downloads frozen on the mega trove again. Expect a takedown soon.

Is there no better option than mega?

>>52529097
unless you're doing a really lethal game, any rules would slow down combat too much. if you really want to though, just give disadvantage when you want to target a specific limb and add specific effects when you hit there (no movement when hitting leg, disadvantage on attacks on limbs, auto crit on head/neck, etc.

how do i overcome the inherent shittiness of monks

>>52529117
Why? Reducing some dmg for the sake of damaging a limb sounds like a good idea..

>>52529159
I don't know Anon, we must meditate in acave for 40 years to know the secret, shall we begin?

>>52529211
yes

>>52529097
The ability to make an attack represents the opportunity to potentially land an attack with some lethality, allowing for called shots would break the idea that a fight is constantly ongoing and looking for chances. It almost makes sense with ranged attacks, but even then, until you hit a creature to half, it hasn't actually been wounded.

>>52527273
All the time.

We are a regular group with 4 running campaigns (we all GM) and we don't just stop a campaign for no reason.

Well, that's 2 for swashbuckler, so there's that. I like the sound of them, too. Not going to lie, a swashbuckler bugbear sounds hilarious to me because I'm imagining this well educated snarky bugbear that talks like every single one of Mark Shepherd's characters. Which book has the stats for a BB?

Then again, the Theif does have the classic dungeoneer aspect to it.

>>52529160
It's a bad idea.

How much HP does a limb have? What happens to a limb with 0 hp?

Does a limb have higher AC? Is it attacked with disadvantage?

What does damaging a creature normally do? Does the torso have HP?

Its just a lame idea and makes everything more complicated and take longer.

I don't want the player to get bonuses for using both attacks, it should be a trade-off. I was thinking that players could use it to pump out a little extra damage to finish off an enemy, but it's risky because it leaves them vulnerable. Giving them extra AC is even more incentive to spam transforming every single round.

I can definitely see Barbarian breaking this thing though, since it's basically a savage attack for free if they do transform.

>>52528969
We're just starting. I think the player in question is a first-level fighter but if possible I don't want it to be broken in the hands of any class

Obviously the weapon will cost substantially more gold than a rapier and a whip combined.

>>52528980
In that case, maybe just saying that it can be transformed as a free action is enough.

Still though, that's awfully boring, how often do you need to switch damage types in the middle of a fight anyway? Giving it some special function would be nice.

>>52529345
Shit, level one? Unless everyone is getting some serious goodies, having that sort of weapon might require just having the weapon essentially be a reflavored dual-wield.

>What is Hexblade

Honestly I think Hexblade should be able to use other pact's fluff.

Your idea is cool though, I'd just ask to use EB in melee but have no range on it otherwise you only get one attack compared to EB's 4 attacks.

>>52529345
I'd recommend have it work similar to what >>52529366 suggested. It's a rapier normally, but he can use his bonus action to turn it into whip form and make a second attack that gets no ability modifier just like in two-weapon fighting. His weapon is now in whip form. To change back to rapier he would do the same thing with this bonus action, except now it's the rapier attack that gets no ability modifier bonus to the atk/dmg rolls. Eventually you can let it be upgraded to +1/+2 etc as a magic weapon, which would be reminiscent of the upgrading system in bloodborne.

There's this fan supplement that has actual Bloodborne weapons.

Evening, all. I'm posting here in the hopes that one of you has access to Tales of the Yawning Portal and can help me out.

In short, I just played Sunless Citadel at my FLGS in an Adventurer's League campaign, and my character ended up with the magic sword, Shatterspike.

Since 5e largely did away with sundering weapons and the DMG page about damaging items is woefully inadequate, I was hoping somebody could either post a PDF or simply quote to me what the module says about the weapon, especially since an NPC attempted to use it on my characters sword.

In short - how the fuck does sunder work in 5e? If it helps, the magic item certificate I got reads:

"You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage you make with this magic weapon. If it hits an object, the hit is automatically a critical hit, and it can deal bludgeoning or slashing damage to the object (your choice). Further, damage from nonmagical sources can't harm the weapon."

Gotta apologize for the new trove link going down. I was messing with things to see if downloads queueing but not downloading being a Mega thing or an account-specific thing (it appears to be a problem with folder shares in general, at least when you're not logged into a Mega account).

So here's *another* new link.

>i dont want the player to get bonuses for using both attacks
i was thinking about treating it like twf or using your first attack with one weapon then swapping for your interaction and using the second attack with your second attack option to give 1hp.

>>52529371
Ah that's a really good point, I didn't notice that the attacks don't scale like EB's.
That's easy to work around though. My group's really adaptable when it comes to incorporating flavor.

>>52529448

Details about attacks on objects are in the DMG but by RAW your sword has an AC and HP and Shatterspike can "kill" it the same way any other attack action is resolved.

>>52529448
You can check the Mega for Tales.
See >>52529465

As to the sword, the module says the knight uses Shatterspike against players weapons but has no rules or description for doing so
