UNDEAD PLAYER OPTION WHEN?!

>>52536310
There's a revenant race y'know.

>>52536310
There's options for a Revenant player in the Gothic Horror UA

>>52536326
>>52536338
Revenant doesnt count, it forces you into one personality type.

I'm making a series of homebrewed fighter archetypes for every Plane in both the Inner and Outer Planes. They work off the assumption that you have a tiefling-esque heritage, except with a particular planar power source instead of only fiendish. I've also included dragons and plan on including titans and the Far Realm (beholders/mindflayers) just for some additional inclusion.

I've finished the upper planes except for Ysgard and Arcadia, and I've got all of the lower planes and the astral plane left to do. What abilities would you want to see, and for what planes?

>>52536376
Then just make something up yourself.

I wanna buy TYP but i have a couple questions.
1. Do I run it like a normal adventure, or is it just sample dungeons to put in adventures I make?
2. What level does it take pcs to?

>>52536030
Ideas on making monks somewhat playable.
Pls give input.

Hp/Hit die is a 1d10.
Martial arts reworded to include any melee weapon that doesn't have the heavy or twohanded property.
And the bonus action attack reworded to target an opponent within 5ft of the monk.

Unarmoured changed to 10+Wis mod+proficiency bonus.

Ki features gained at lvl 2 scale up at lvl 10 to include the following:
Flurry of blows deals 3 hits.
Step on the wind grants flight with concentration for 1 minute.
Patient defense lets you use an unarmed attack of opportunity along with the dodge.

Unarmoured movement lets you stand still on any surface at lvl 12 so you don't fall from the cieling once your turn is over.

KI—EMPOWERED STRIKES now includes this line:
As a bonus action you may spend 3 ki to enhance your unarmed strikes further.
For the duration of 1 minute your unarmed strikes deal an additional damage equal to half of your proficiency bonus rounded down.

Stop doing that.
Monks are clearly muscle-wizards i.e just another flavour of gish but special in that it doesn't try to cast spells.

You can do. It has level ranges for each adventure and the progression seems to have been set up so it can work as an adventure. But you could also just throw them in as dungeons, yes.
>2. What level does it take pcs to?

>>52536030
Anyone has any house rules that they wanna share about Cleric's new UA Spell "Ceremony"? My group thought of some up for the Marriage one. I'm hoping some here might wanna share some ideas while I post mine.

>Marriage:
- The usual effect, but works for all other beings within the "Creature" criteria.
- Changed "once" to "once a year". (most campaigns might not last a year of in-game time, but it's still better than once.)
- Added an "Anniversary" function to it, which lets the same pair have the same +2 AC Marriage buff, +1 per yearly ritual ceremony (caps at +5).
- Added a special rule that depending on the Deity the Cleric works with, Polygamy and Divorcing are added options,
-- Divorcing resets marital status and any future anniversary bonuses with that other person (remarrying keeps it at +2 AC on Anniversary Ceremonies forever)
-- Polygamy grants +1 AC to you and all your harem within a bonus +50 Feet to the standard range from each other (Anniversary caps at +3 for Polygamous Marriages).

So far, I am thinking of how to write on how much more interesting Funeral Rites could be for Married Couples under a Cleric's Deity, or if if they did a heroic sacrifice/some crime/etc within their lifetime that would please/enrage your Cleric's deity. Because to me, all the Ceremonies should have some kind of mutation based on each deity, or am I wrong?

>>52536607
>classic fantasy
What exactly is "classic fantasy"? Why doesn't, say, Journey to the West come under that heading?

>>52536942
I also like how medieval fantasy conveniently ignores the existence of Christian monks.

What's the sweet spot of 5e? If it was around 6-10 in 3.5 (wide possibilities and resources all around), what would it be in 5e?

>>52536911
Sounds gross and OP.

>>52536911
>harem
how about no.

I'm DMing a party of 5 and during character creation they all made monks.

We were going to start with LMoP, but instead I want to homebrew something that is going to be fun with the party composition. Any ideas?

Also, what monsters are immune to stun? There doesn't seem to be many, which is going to be annoying at level 5.

>>52536525
You forgot the most important thing at making monks viable;
>Cure the player of his crippling retardedness and help him through school

Monks are fine.

>>52536030
Is the mega trove not working for anyone else? I was trying to get LMoP but it looks like it's down.

>>52537249
Are you on mobile?

>>52537274
No, I'm using a laptop.

>>52537095
Yeah, I am still working on it. I would just keep Anniversary as more of a repeat Marrage, but with extra resources paid yearly as to keep evidence of a good union.

>>52537135
Polygamy is Polygamy. I am not using that for my campaign, but I just added it there for flavor. That's all up to you. Also, I edited out the rights to having an Anniversary with a Polygamous union. I think the diminished returns for marrying multiple times (once per each character) is expensive enough as is. I also modified it so that Divorce works ONCE, as well. And Marriage under a different deity can be possible, but that depends on the relationship between the current deity and the last deity that made their union happen. Or else, it would be a negative AC gain.

Honestly, this is why I posted this here, I want feedback. And the UA disclaimer does say that we are free to experiment with their published experimental content.

Friendly reminder that short rests lasting an hour makes your games boring as cspan.

>>52537057
A bunch of classes start to feel unique around 11. Fighter gets its 3rd attack, rogue gets reliable talent, warlock gets its 3rd pact slot and mystic arcanum so it finally starts to feel like a capable caster, 6th level spells are the spot where the casters feel sufficiently differentiated and they generally have enough slots to not fall back on cantrips too much

>>52536911
No.

Get rid of the 24 hour bonuses.

Add the following:
- Both becomes immune to charm, being protected by the divine spell.
- you are capable of using the help action as a bonus action if the help target is your spouse
- You can sense of the other is in severe danger, provided they know it themselves (like in a battle they are losing, or just a very difficult fight), and you instantly know if they die.
- You gain 1 additional hit die to spend on healing. This hit die is a d12.

Make it have small fluffy and thematic traits, something that makes it have an impact on the game, without being flat boring bonuses.

>>52537342
How so?

We just generally fast forward through them as a "take a breather, get some food and drink, and quickly check up on your hear if the short rest is in a potentially dangerous location. "

>>52537296
mechanically it is fine, but i don't want to give my players meta reasons to be creepy fucks. no magical realm bullshit here, take your harem of fox girls back to pfg.

>>52537358
>- Both becomes immune to charm, being protected by the divine spell.
While nice sounding, this shit would break the game.

>>52537380
Most people never take a short rest, because if you can afford to wait an hour, you can afford to wait multiples, in most narratives.

>>52537358
Yes! This is far better! Flat bonuses are really bad, indeed. Dunno why I stuck with the current template. Also, how about penalties with the addition of divorcing and different deities making the union? Because my current plan is trying to break the global mold of the spell's function.

I still haven't wrapped my head around this


Typ
Tomb of horrors
False entrance #2
The sliding block track moves 6 inches per initiative count, until 0 where it closes.

When they trigger the trap - they roll initiative.

How do I factor in movement and time?

If a character has 60 ft movement(dash) and he is 30 feet away, does that mean that if he rolls under 10~ he can't make it and it slams shut?

I'm trying to wrap my head around this so it doesn't sound awkward

>>52537447
>different deities making the union?
And by that I mean, any good/bad things from marrying under a cleric's deity.

>>52537358
>Both becomes immune to charm, being protected by the divine spell.
make it advantage on saving throws against charms while in sight of your partner, or add your proficiency if you already have advantage on it or something.

so a sex god demons shit can still lure you on a bad roll.

also bonus action help is kind of strong and meta defining enough for anyone to get a spouse. but i guess it's fine and shit. the rest is fine, dinner with your spouse heals you a bit more, it's gold.

>>52537446
>Most people never take a short rest, because if you can afford to wait an hour, you can afford to wait multiples, in most narratives.
So because you get a lunch break at work, you sleep 8 hours instead, because if you can afford take a lunch break, you can afford to sleep for 8 hours, right?

Besides, you can inly long rest once per 24 hour, so youd retarded 10 hour days where you sleep 8 hours, adventure for 2, and then repeat ad nausea, would not work.

>>52537525
Would be funny if the spouse was a Succubus in disguise. And by the rules invested in the spell's vanilla form, they keep the bonuses of marriage. You married someone who may or may not haunt you for life!

>>52537474
>until 0 where it closes
i'm assuming it just means that they have to get in in one turn, else they are fucked.

>>52537534
Adventuring as people richer than 99% of the population is a far different environment than working in corporate anon. Your analogy makes no sense.

>>52537534
>Besides, you can inly long rest once per 24 hour, so youd retarded 10 hour days where you sleep 8 hours, adventure for 2, and then repeat ad nausea, would not work.

This is what most people do anon. They fight a bit, blow their wad, rest, roleplay a little downtime activity.

>>52537592

>>52536886
Thanks anon :)

>>52537525
Just throwing out ideas. Considering several races and options gain advantage or immunity to charm, I assumed it wasn't a big deal.

I can't remember anyone using the help action in combat before, and most people have a far better use of that bonus action anyway. If you can use it, that would be amazing.

I am GMing 90% of the time, and I'd be all for this kind of help spam between a couple.

Wait, am I reading the Insightful Fighting feature of that gothic UA rogue right? You can sneak attack as a bonus action, attack once more with your regular action?

>>52537135
RAW the marriage spell can be cast on multiple people.
>>52537162
Ettins, Hydras, Revenants, Death Dogs and Bugbear Chiefs have advantage vs stun.
Helmed Horrors and Demiliches are immune.
>>52537444
How many times does the Fey Ancestry advantage on saves vs charm come up for you?
>>52537525
>also bonus action help is kind of strong and meta defining
It's something Mastermind Rogues can do at level 3 and I don't think I've heard many people here talking about that

What would be the best race/class/background combonation to emulate an Indiana Jones-lile character? I was thinking of making a Yuan-ti rogue that hates humans but there must be better ideas.

It's for doing the Yawning Portal adventures im AL so please stick to PHB + 1

>>52537572
But everyone is going to roll above 0

>>52537708
>How many times does the Fey Ancestry advantage on saves vs charm come up for you?
It's not that, it's the amount of spells that auto fail if the target can't be charmed.

>>52537586
>This is what most people do anon. They fight a bit, blow their wad, rest, roleplay a little downtime activity.
And most GMs worth their salt wouldn't allow it. Or they'd start throwing shit at you for being meta gaming little shits.

If you had half a brain, you'd have no trouble keeping enough resources for a full day of adventuring.

>>52537342

>>52537744

>>52537993
That is honestly awesome. And come on, it won't take that long for another group of adventurers to go to the Tomb of Horrors, but the problem is that if another group finds the mirror and have time to read the command phrase... Won't that mean that they got trapped by the sliding block too?

>>52537767
I would say that the charm auto-fails should happen within proximity of your spouse, rendering splitting up a detriment when this passive is gained. Of course, that anon said "while in sight", so blinding awareness can also temporarily break the passive. Being separated from each other can really create drama, you know. Both in-character and meta-wise.

Of course, I'm inclined to use what >>52537525 suggested. The part about having perma-advantage on save rolls for any and all charm types. But! What if we let the charms happen, and would only break if the charm is used against the spouse? Adding proficiency to the charm break save throw with advantage for being married to that target? It will still leave a margin of fail, and it can make "The Power of Love" that big of a hit.

>>52538116
They will get sucked into the mirror too, until it is full

Maybe 300 years - and they have 7 adventurers in there with them.

When they are let out - they are still trapped but with more people and they must fight to get back into the mirror to live.

I'll just roll a d100 to see how long until another group shows up, then dc10 adventuring skill to prop a bar up and stop it.

>>52536525
Non-Elemental Monks are fine. Give Elemental Monks real spell slots.

>>52538147
Alternatively you could allow a spouse to use any action, even a reaction, to auto cleanse the charm, if within 50 yards. Removes all that advantage and whatnot, prevents accidential immunity to effects that it shouldn't work against, but still gives a strong sense of the marriaged couple being faithful to one another of theu just get a quick nudge by their spouse.

>>52537162

>>52538228
What's their level, and do they have any long-living races among them? An elf, dwarf, gnome? If so, they could just wait outside the mirror, as long as they had Goodberry and Create Water. Even a halfling or half-elf might be able to pull this off.

>>52537162
Don't fuck over your entire party of monks by trying to find stun-immune monsters to constantly use.

It's ok to do sometimes, but let them have their gimmick.

>>52538353
2 gnomes no spell casters.

>>52538370
I feel like a lot of DMs immediately try to go for doing that shit. I'd rather have it so that every once in a while there'd be a fight where every monster is immune to just one of the party member's main things, that way everyone gets to feel useful. Unless that's an even dumber idea.

>>52537162
Do any of them have ranged capabilities? Throw a single flying creature with a bow at them and watch them all die.

>>52538370

Here's what I've got so far - please ignore spelling errors and the text falling off the page at the end.

Several of the archetypes have 9th level spells or approximate equivalents as 18th level features. I figure this is balanced, simply because spellcasting is so powerful but at the same time it shouldn't be limited away to only spellcasting classes when the features are thematically appropriate.

>>52538438

>>52537474
The block starts moving at twenty. At 19 it's six inches from the wall.
One player's initiative count is 16. At this point it's two feet from the wall, leaving 8 feet of hallway unobstructed. He'll probably make it past.
The next player's initiative is 15. The block is 2 1/2 feet from the wall, leaving 7 1/2 feet unobstructed. He'll probably make it too.
The lowest player's initiative is 5. He's only got 2 1/2 feet of space to move through. He's gonna have to squeeze through, which is half speed. If he can't get past where the block is by the end of his turn, initiative will continue counting down and reach zero, at which point the hallway is completely obstructed. If he's still in spaces blocked by the block, he's gonna get crushed to death.

The passage states the block is 10 feet wide, and I'm assuming this is in reference to the hallway (20 initiative counts at 6 inches each count means 10 feet) but I'm not seeing anything that says clearly how long the block is. Is it ten feet wide, meaning the players only have to run ten feet before they're free? Is it fifty feet, blocking the whole tunnel between the entrance and the triggering floor tiles?

Personally, I'd go for fifty. Even small characters with lower movement speed would be able to make it out with a dash, and it's also long enough that if they're having to squeeze they're not gonna make it, unless they figure out a way to block the block.

Redpill me on lizardfolk

>>52538774
Ah, I just looked at the map and the block in fact is ten feet thick, as in long. And someone else mentioned the tunnel continuing on 30 feet after the block, so the difficulty in passing comes from crossing that 30 feet and then the block. I still like the idea of making the block thicker than ten feet.

Also, the map shows the hallway as being 20 feet wide. If the block is only moving six inches each initiative count, it'd only get 10 feet out before count 1. So I guess they meant the block moves 1 foot each initiative count but said six inches, or else I'm totally misunderstanding initiative in a fundamental way.

Grappled condition would specify if that was the case, which I'm pretty sure it doesn't. I think it wouldn't be insane to give the target and grappler disadvantage in such a save.

It says each tile is 10 feet.

>>52539212
I'm thinking of it more as an idea where you can be an EK that doesn't have Evocation and Conjuration and an AT that doesn't have Illusion and Enchantment as where most of their spells have to come from. Maybe even let the player choose which 2 schools they get. The potential problem is the things the Wizard list entails and the reason they're squishy.

>>52539284
*Abjuration, not Conjuration.

>>52539078
Thank you for proving my point

>>52539081
EKs really don't have much of a reason to go for anything but abjuration + maybe something like transmutation for haste
Most of what EK does is use shield and suchlike.

ATs there's a bit more reasoning to letting them do other things, but to both....

You can always choose some spells outside of those schools, so it really doesn't matter.

>>52539315
So you prefer saying the average height of a man is 1.82 meters to 6 feet?

Does anyone have any experience with making magic items? I want to make a magic item built with my group's fighter in mind, which is an amulet which will magically affix itself to his hammer and give him an ability equivalent to a paladin smite spell.

I'm aiming to have the characters be fourth level by the time they get out of the dungeon. I've never made a magic item before, I'm not sure how often i should allow it to be used. I was thinking every short rest he'd regain the ability to use it.

>>52539758
Is in the trove for download?

>>52539801
It sure is, be sure to search the thread for trove v6 because older ones are having issues

>>52539793
What kind of cheating would happen? You think your players have read the adventure?

>>52536607
What really baffles me is that this is an Undertale gif. I'm having trouble imagining what kind of person would make it.

>>52539798
Generally magic items don't work around short / long rests. Either you can do something at will, or once, or a certain number of times determined by charges, and then it recharges every dawn (some items recharge at midnight). Which smite spell are you talking about?

So we have Rangers and Paladins as the Druidic/Nature and Divine half-casters, but there's no Arcane half-caster. That might be the gish I'm looking for.

>>52539841
If they are older than 30 sure they did. I am 33 and played Return to White Plume Mountain when I was a teen.

>>52539798
How often will mostly depend on how much damage you are going to let the ability do. If you're going to make it a higher strength smite then I'd say every long rest, but if it's gonna be just a low level one for a little extra damage then every short wouldn't kill it.

The other question is do you want it to scale as they level, like extra attack, as they get higher in level it can do more damage or be used more than once.

>>52539871
Ah yes was that the one where you go back to the boiling lake with the giant bubble and the gigantic crab was now a zombie?

>>52539871
Fair enough, those parts of adventures are always the easiest/best parts to change up anyway. The flesh golem puzzle as written is particularly lame.

Just give him a new hammer that deals extra radiant damage to evil creatures or something and can cast the light cantrip or something.

>>52539922

Possibly. I've got a 3.PF dude who is memorizing monster stats, so I toss a lot of third party or homebrew stuff in. He thinks that stuff is imbalanced, but no PC has died yet. Minus the Paladin's dog to an explosion.

Also, shifting puzzles is usually a good precaution. The rest is mainly problem solving/jury rigging in the adventure, so I am not too worried about spoiling that.

Something like that might be better than me trying to figure out how to make up an Arcane Half Caster. Though Eldritch Knight 10/Wizard 10 might get close to such an idea. The problem with letting such ideas float in space is it makes it hard to see potential downsides.

>>52539907
Searing Smite, I assume? That's not too powerful, then. You could say the amulet has 3 charges and it regains all expended charges every morning. Or 5 charges and it regains 1d4+1 charges. Would be cool if it could later unlock a new spell, say, Aganazzar's Scorcher would be cool.

>When they die they emit all the light that has touched them over their lives
>The older ones are bigger and explode in fire when they die

So I want to make an evil, sentient weapon.

Not "haha" evil. Like turn the players stomach evil.

It's a dagger. If it kills or is stabbed into a being, it transmutes their body into a martial weapon. It becomes +1/2/3 based on how powerful the victim is, and has a Han Solo Carbonite imprint. This transformation lasts based on how powerful the being is.

It will openly lie about its origin and purpose, if it's not fed - characters that sleep near it will be exhausted and find that they were bled in their sleep.

Also some other benefits

The metal rod should be a tuning fork. Find the resonant frequency of the plane you are on.

I remember talking to a Pathfinder player. They were asking me why 5e doesn't have monsters bigger than Colossal. Because they like to go through space fighting monsters the size of the planets.

>>52540399
No, but they min max. Every session starts with a 5 minute rant about the latest character build he made/found on the internet. You have to interrupt him to get him to stop, but once he gets into the game, he is one of the better role players. He does all this mechanical prep in between sessions.

Play to the strength of the class and you can be useful.

>>52540646
I wouldn't even say most or all of 5e's options work. There are definite tiers, it's just there are fewer things in those tiers, and the differences between a higher tier and a lower tier are less extreme.

I don't mind the idea of tiers. That's how things will always be: the guy who mains janitor is going to have a harder time generally succeeding than the guy who mains billionaire demagogue. The cool thing about RPGs with tier lists is that we as a group can choose to play within tiers together, rather than forcing the janitor to play with the demagogue.

>>52540701
>bounded accuracy

Bounded Accuracy is, like everything else in 5e, a good idea implemented poorly. Bounded Accuracy currently allows for virtually unbeatable AC and virtually unbeatable grapple checks, due to the stacking bonuses built into the system. Both of these can trivialize the combat portion of the game, which is not a good result.

To a lesser degree, rogues and bards can trivialize skill checks/exploration as well, thanks to how their bonuses work within the bounded accuracy system.

Finally, for the players that aren't setting out to abuse the system, they lost something with bounded accuracy. Having enemies be virtually untouchable at the start, and then later being able to consistently beat on them is a very good feeling. I liken it to playing morrowind for the first time, dying to daedra in an area shouldn't be in, and then a hundred hours later you invade that ruin with half the island's loot on your back and blow through it. It's great!

If I were implementing bounded accuracy, I would try to compromise these goals, and have bounded accuracy tiers. Within tiers, threats and challenges wouldn't appreciably increase in AC or Skill DC. But between tiers there would be a large spike in those values, and players fighting monsters or tackling challenges above their tiers would have a hard time getting past the AC/DC. 3 tiers would do.

How would you go about creating a character who revolves mostly or at least somewhat around making, laying, and setting traps, /tg/?
No homebrew bullshit, restrict your options to the released books, adventures, and UAs.

I'd say arcane trickster with battlefiled control spells and alarming wards who spends downtime constructing hunting traps and uses invisible servant to string nets up in trees under cover of darkness. Also collecting caltrops, ball bearings, tanglefoot bags, and venomous insects in jars. Definitely a ranged character, I think. Rock Gnome might be a good race pick, both for flavor and because a suspiciously placed music box in a dungeon is guaranteed to lure guards and monsters into an ambush.

They can. Quite easily, in fact. Because it's what they've been using their whole life.

Simply because you've been using it your whole life. Base 10 is completely arbitrary and doesn't make any more sense than base 2 or base 16. But I'm willing to wager you'd find base 16 just as silly to you as imperial.

I do agree that imperial units for the same thing having different bases is silly. But I also find metric annoying and unwieldy for liquid volumes (milk, baking, etc).

Those who step upon a pit lid will have a base 100% of falling, modified downwards by 1 % per point of dexterity through 12, and 2% for each point above 12, i.e. dexterity of 13 = 14% chance of not falling into a pit, dexterity of 14 = 16%, 15 = 18%, 16 = 20%, 17 = 22%, and 18 dexterity = 24% chance of not going in. At the bottom of each pit are 5 iron spikes coated with poison. Roll d6 to determine how many spikes wound the victim: 1, 2, and 3 meaning that number of spikes have wounded the victim, 4-6 equal NONE HAVE WOUNDED the character. Each spike causes 1-6 hit points of damage, and the victim must make a saving throw versus poison for each spike which wounds him of her. Any failure means the victim is killed by the poison.

the thing is that metric is automatically more consistent because every single base is base ten, you don't need to ever struggle about how many feet were in a mile, when you could compare measurements in metric, without knowing the unit of measurement and still get your calculation right.

or why thermodynamics with imperial is fucking stupid, needing a billion different conversion factors for pounds, slugs, psia, btu, etc.

Remember, Tomb of Horrors has no recommended level for the party.

As you are running it, if you feel it is too easy, just crank up the damage from the traps.

The ethereal/astral - > Demon trigger should be guaranteed and constant, though.

DCs seem tough enough already.

>>52541356
Just steal something from somewhere else. +X items are always boring, no matter the system.

>>52541453
Huh. I love the idea of a dangerous trap, but I don't like the idea of a trap that I have to break out a spreadsheet to remember all the various probabilities on.

>>52539053
This map is incomplete, believe it or not there are countries besides the US who use imperial. Also I'm sure there must have been some other country who lost a war against the Vietnamese.

/5eg/ can you help me with artificers? I'm trying to figure out whether I want to make a gunsmith or an alchemist. Also, which of the magic items have the coolest, most useful effects? Can the constructs be healed if they get damaged?

I just can't get into the hardcover campaigns. Knowing that most of the story is already written, most of the events are pre-ordained, and that my character is along for the ride just like thousands of characters before him prevents me from any feeling any real investment at all.

Anyone else feel similarly about the hardcovers? I've got a competent DM that enjoys running them, and he does a great job, but I can't shake the feeling that I'm having a CYOA novel read to me with a few rounds of combat thrown in to mask it.

>>52540915
Is this what people actually believe?

How would you guys price a magic item that is a free action to activate or deactivate and allows the user 10 rounds/dawn of haste+zephyr strike (with only the movement boost from zephyr) and causes the loss of turn from haste if you use the last round for the day? I'm thinking that it would probably be a rare.

>>52541653
no

>>52541514

Could ditch the family friendly poison rules in 5e and just say its a save or die poison in the traps. Makes them deadly but still gives you a chance by avoiding the trap and/or saving to not fall in.

>>52541642

If you roll an initiative of 1 or 2 your dead. Since at 2 its only 6" from the wall so you probably can't get past it and at 1 it is already closed.

Wait. The hallway is 20 feet across. The door must be sliding 1 foot per initiative count in order to cross that gap. 3.33 feet per second, not 1.66 feet per second.

The trove has been taken down again due to another DMCA from Roll20. Considering the timespan between the new trove going up and now (just a few hours), I don't doubt that Roll20 has an eye on this thread.

There's no real solution to this either, despite people saying to take off the Roll20 stuff. Even if I did, Roll20 could just as easily DMCA it again and I have no grounds to dispute that as there is infringing material on there from WotC as well.

This is the last time I am going to be making a mirror for the next few days. I suggest importing it to your own Mega account in the meantime. Once this goes down, I'm going to wait a bit before making another one. No guarantee this one will last long, as the account associated with it is up to 3 DMCA strikes already.

He has ca 2/3 of the intelect of a normal person. 6 Is about as low int as humans go I would say (without being real potato retards)

>>52541938
Well if we can take Int as x10 for IQ, and 10 Int is average human, thus 100 IQ, and 70 IQ or 7 Int is Retarded... Then just be yourself.

where do you guys get battle maps for roll20 and/or what is the easiest mapping tool to learn?

>>52541856

Seems you discovered a flaw in their trap/map designs. It does indeed say it moved at 6" per initiative count, though it doesn't say what initiative count to start on.

>>52541938
An ape has 6 Int. Your paladin will be flinging feces at enemies.

>>52541906

The boots of speed are a rare giving 10 mins of most of what the spells do with no downside per day. What makes this really difficult is that winged boots are an uncommon with fly being a 3rd level spell.

My two cents is that you should delete the Roll20 stuff and see what happens. In any case, thanks for your work and your service to /5eg/.

>>52542060
Boots of speed is not haste in 5e it just gives movement :(

>>52541938
Just fucking don't.

Extra-low-int characters are overdone and not interesting. You might as well turn your character into the party pet and go down to buy everybody snacks while your character is played by the DM.

>>52542085
Speed and the disadvantage on AoO for 10 mins/day. Winged boots last way longer than fly at half the speed. It's kind of confusing when building a custom magic item going off shit like that, if there's a section in the DMG for it I'm having trouble finding it which wouldn't surprise me.

One of my players wants some sort of edgelord "Demon Touched" ability that makes him glow when demons are nearby. The other players are fine with it as long as there's some kind of drawback to it. Here's what I'm thinking
>You know the general location and size of demons within 200ft of you, as indicated by your burning scars.
>When you come within 15ft of a demon whose CR is higher than your level, you must succeed a DC 15 Charisma saving throw or become incapacitated for 1 minute.
>You may repeat the saving throw at the end of each of your turns, ending the effect on a success. Upon a successful save, you become immune to this effect for 24 hours.

Too wordy? I was thinking that instead I could just simplify it and give him his glow-sense and a flat disadvantage to saving throws against demon abilities.

We are at trove v7?

Glowing is edgy now?

Is it true that most options in 5e work pretty well? Or is that hyperbole?

>>52542213
It slightly is. But its not like in 3.pf where more than half of the options you might as well have anchored your ass to failure and mediocrity.

>>52541175
>How would you go about creating a character who revolves mostly or at least somewhat around making, laying, and setting traps, /tg/?
You'd need a DM that allows you to do this first of all.
I've never had one that didn't say "Room, enemis, fight" every encounter.

>>52542147
Guts, he wants to be Guts.

Also seems like a decent drawback depending on his stats.

>>52542180
It's not the glowing, rather the backstory. He wants the character to be covered in scars that glow fiery red and exude a smoky mist in the presence of demons. His eyes do the same thing.

>>52542147
Instead you should really just go for disadvantage against demon abilities instead of 'you might just go unconscious from being near them'.

>>52542147
Instead of incapacitated, make it frightened. Incapacitation is too heavy a penalty.

Also cut the range to about 60 feet maximum. 200 is farther than the best darkvision, and it well outstrips divine sense.

You'd be significantly less inteligent than an Awakened Tree.
And also an Orc. Goodness me.

But you can go for it. 8 INT is not as bad as every one else is making it out to be. You're basically illiterate, a little out of touch with facts, but not opinions, and you're not very good at gauging odds, but not a retard at all.

It could be pretty interesting on a Paladin actually

>>52542255
You know that is excessive. I would be fine with ONE Scar that hurts when they're around like Harry Potter. Or he gets a weird smoke coming out of his nose like Danny Phantom.

But covered in scars and smoking? Come on.

>>52542300
I meant 6 INT, by the way

You're literally just 10% less likely to succeed on any inteligence challenge the average person will struggle with

You'll also be as intelligent as your Mount for Find Steed. That'd be cute

So basically, that well meaning Jock stereotype, who is really into football, but also into his Youth Group, is really outgoing and finds people who need to validate themselves by bullying others to be dicks.

>>52542347
For mundane just make up trinkets like pieces of rock only on that plane made into a necklace or ring. As for better just have it be items with a theme from that plane ie a flame sword from the elemental planes of fire.

>>52542449

>>52541514
It's a base 100% to fall in. In 5e, a DC for a saving throw that's basically 100% unpassable would be 35, barring certain class features that may or may not exist that I can't think of. If in the old version having (max?) dex brings it down to about 75%, in 5e a character with max dex and assuming highest proficiency would fail a DC 26 about 75% of the time, if my math is any good at all, but it probably isnt.

>>52540509
Most adventurers roleplay CE perfectly without intending to; amoral, self-serving, don't like being told what to do or following rules, willing to torture and murder to get what they want. It's just when they TRY to RP a CE character shit gets dicey.

It's like 5 gigs, guys. If everyone gets it, then guess what? No one can stop fuckers from just dumping it on Google Drive or file hosting sites whenever someone needs bits and pieces. I did the same with the Codex: Unearthed Arcana before Wizards got to it, and that worked out great.

Tg, feedback me on this houserule

I give humanoid races with certain backgrounds the type of creature they represent for purposes of Favored Enemy
Elves therefore count as Fey, Tiefling as Fiend, Genasi as Elementals, Aasimar as Celestials, Dragonborn as Dragons, Lizardfolk and Gnomes as monstrosities and so on

It's a good start point for people atleast trying to get into D&D, easier to see it played than just read. Also it's entertaining to see Sam try and troll the party just subtly enough that they can't really call hin out on it and Mercer's world building in response to the party's decisions.
