op image

absolutely worthless.

Skulker or Martial Adept (Distracting/Disarming Strike) as the starting feat for a variant human Assassin Rogue?

How's this item?
>golden scarab beetle necklace that, when attuned to It, allows the carrier to speak a command word and gain +1 to AC and saving throws for 10 rounds
>Holds 1d4+1 charges

Cursed item.
>upon expending the last charge, after the effect wears off the beetle digs into the wielders skin and drains their life energy, causing them to have -1 to AC and saving throws for 24 hours
>Exact number of charges
>A remove curse spell breaks attunement, however it must have at least one charge left and not be burrowed into the skin

Clearly scrawled on a Dunkin Donuts napkin 30 minutes before Mearls was supposed to upload it.

Hey, it worked for trickle-down economics.

>Thoughts on the new UA?
We already exhausted any conversation that could possibly be had on this UA in the last thread. It's disappointing shite that could be summed up in a single tweet.

Can we move on and start shitposting about Warlocks again?

ELDRITCH BLAAAAAAAAST

I like it.

I like it

>you will never be able to make an interesting warlock

I like it

DAE BLADELOCKS BAD?

I like it.

I think it's absolutely fantastic, just like any non-toxic player would :^)

I like it

muh familiar! muh rituals! muh utili-ELDRITCH BLAAAAAAAAAST!!!!

Eldritch Blast turrets?!

The UA is pretty unimpressive but I like the suggestion of doing levelling ever 100 XP.

I'm using milestone but it still feels nice to dole out XP over time so players get an idea of how much impact their actions have. Makes it a bit easier to track and figre out.

does Crawford know you are out of your box, again?

ELDRITCH

BLAAAAAAAAAAAAST

100xp, all xp is rewarded in 5's and 10's. Could have made xp needed 20, and rewards in 1's and 2's.
My autism screeches loudly into the void.

Think of it as % to the next level

>Thoughts on the new UA?

No.

Okay o_o

It's a vowel that can be used as a noun, verb, indefinite article, or preposition. That's way more utilitarian than fucking W. And "a" wasn't even the original word; it's the result of the lingusitic deletion of the "n" from "an" which itself arose from "one".

DMing for a small TTRPG convention for the first time in a month.

Anyone has done that here? Any tips?

LOL

please delete this

>hey guys i don't like thing
>am i cool yet
>please hate thing with me
>i'm so lonely

>NAT 20 XDDDDD
So original

hello gaybo

this is cute and fine

...

>orc rolls to punch
>fails
>therefore it's a kiss(?)

I assume the laughter is aimed at us after you left a shit on or porch

...

this is like someone making a comic about DnD without having ever actually played it

>LOL
>LOL.jpg
>le nat 1 = GAY XD
>nat 20 seduction check meme

I mean... you got a lot of (You)s so congrats I guess

This happens when you let vaginas in your hobby

...

It's a cautionary tale about memeing over critical fumbles.

LOL is a /v/ meme. It's very much sarcastic in nature.

This hobby would be a lot better if your mom never let you out of her vagina.

>MUH LGBTQWERTYBBQ DIVERSITY!!! IT'S CURRENT YEAR YOU RAYCISS

>it's okay if he was being ironically retarded

Here a properly done orc kiss

>iwasonlypretendingtoberetarded.png

...

Calm down roastie, go suck Chad's cock and play your shitty elf druid with a bunch of nu-males

It also has 2 xp increments for combat with creatures crs half your level

Speaking of racist, when has anyone EVER seen a black chick DM and a muslim at the same table?

Also, shit Nat20 memes and DM-enforced gay.

If that comic author plays D&D I'll eat my hat.

I didn't say that. You simply misunderstood the nature of the post. He was mocking the comic he was posting and encouraging others to join in with the mockery. It's okay to be wrong sometimes lads. Be less defensive.

No, we understood. Using a shit meme and claiming it's not shit because it's ironic is still shit. He got triggered by some harmless crap none of us would have ever smelled otherwise and dragged it across our table in the hope that we'd be offended by the stink he just carried in with him and not pissed at him for bringing shit with him.

And obviously the only white guy is forced into gayness
>What a coincidence :^)

>No, we understood.
You demonstrably didn't, seeing as it was accused of being bait. Quiet down.

Why is she so perfect?

how do you know what tier you are

>black chick DM and a muslim
to be fair that could be the same person
it's probably happened, statistically speaking
there are these things called "cities" where large groups of people live and they don't all hate each other

Sharpshooter

But it is bait. What do you think was the point, other than to get all the /pol/lacks hopping mad and launch into a rant about REEEEE IT'S UNREALISTIC FOR ANY GROUP OF FOUR PEOPLE TO ALL BE OF DIFFERENT RACES GIVEN THAT WHITES ARE SUCH AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY IN THIS COUNTRY REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

How did you people ever survive the fucking 90s? You'd think one of the 30 fucking cartoons with the token wheelchair guy would have triggered you into a massive stroke before now.

Read the book

PHB p. 15

>cities
>people don't all hate each other
u fuckin wot

>How did you people ever survive the fucking 90s?
>assuming they were born before the 00's

Alert. Assassins really need to go first in combat.

what's this from?

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what "bait" means. "Laugh at this with me" is not bait. "This comic is great and I hope my group can get something like this going!" would be. Calm your fucking autism. Your insecurity is through the roof. We get it, you're black. Give it a rest already.

>You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what "bait" means
>"Laugh at this with me" is not bait
uhhhhhh

Dungeons & Dragons (2010), from IDW.

It's pretty good

>literally admitting that you don't understand what "bait" means
Quit while you're behind, shitskin.

>claimed guy posting a meme was triggered
>ends up more triggered than anyone else in the thread

wew

Isn't granting experience for non-combat situations explicitly outlined in the Beginner set/Phandalin?

It's derailed the entire thread, of course it was bait.

No it didn't. You did. Most people replied to the post mocking its use of NAT 1s and 20s, but you replied screeching about /pol/. You are the bait.

How the fuck can people let a thread go to shit so fast and so thoroughly just because of one shitpost.

Shouldn't you guys be actually good at this whole anonymous imageboard thing by now?
You spend most of your days on here and you still get baited like it's a competition.

Let's get this thread back on something solid.
What is a trope you would like to see explored in a one-shot?
Something you've always wanted to see but never had to play or DM?

Probably, and I don't know any dm who doesn't give out exp for bypassing combat scenarios with non combat tricks

>trying to mask your triggered "IT'S BAIT" post by adding in some DnD to save face
Stop.

No one mentioned /pol/ until after
And now you're assuming everyone's samefagging

>get artificer for a non-AL CoS runthrough
Boy I sure hope they update soon, I feel kinda underpowered, not even just baseline, I feel weak.
>This shit 2 months in a row now.

i'm legitimately mad.

You forget you're in severe autism central.

Why don't you do what UA content is all about and work with your DM to balance it at the table? If it's weak, improve it.

it's worded fine Greg.

>implying wasn't very implying /pol/
It's probably you, which is why you're so defensive and deflective.

>voodoo doll, you may use an action to hurt the doll and harm a humanoid within range (60ft). Deals 2d10 necrotic damage. Has 2d4+1 charges.
>upon expending the last charge, the doll falls apart and deals neurotic damage equal to the damage dealed by it to it's respective dealers
Is it okay?

no one wants to fucking track all that shit

it was actually me and i can't believe you're still mad

>Thoughts on the new UA?
I hope they didn't pay someone to write it.

>neurotic damage
Did you mean necrotic? Or psychic?

>n-no u-ur the mad one
Deary deary me.

Jesus fucking Christ will you two just shut the fuck up?

>get down to the last charge
>throw the doll away

Maybe make it cursed?

t. the triggered one screeching in all caps earlier

Why would we not give it to the party Wizard or other low-strength hobo and have him punch it each time to trigger this 2d10 death wad every round, and only have to deal with a maximum of 9 damage coming his way? Hell, we could even give it to a beefcake for the last charge and have him toss it 5 feet into the air; it takes 1d6 fall damage and we're still only looking at 15 max retaliation.

Just make it do half the damage to you every time you use it.

That's three people.
Naw.

How do I prevent getting one shot as a cleric or was by DM just being mean

im level 5 and he hit me with a level 5 lightning bolt

>im level 5 and he hit me with a level 5 lightning bolt
Gonna need a lot more context.
