What's a good reason for a Celestial Warlock 2/Abjuration Wizard X? With other patrons there's the obvious "Made deal, regret deal, try to protect yourself from reprisal." but that doesn't feel right for a Celestial patron.
Does Blood Hunter work out fine? Or is it simply a refluffed Ranger?
You've grown beyond delusional and think YOU'RE your patron's reincarnation awaiting awakening, so you'll do anything to protect your body
If its a chaotic celestial, you can do it. if its lawful, it wont work.

A jar of honey?
I gave my druid a cat statue that turns into a real cat for 1 hour. At the end of it, he rolls a d12. If he gets a 1, the statue crumbles and summons a Displacer Beast with intent to kill him.

Players in my campaign will soon find the Staff of Volva. It has some magic powers, but it's most notable power is an ability to fall into a trance and communicate with other wielders of similiar magic items, spirits and demons. Think the Palantir.
The catch? It's a magical equivalent of Veeky Forums, and you're never actually sure if the person you're communicating with is a friendly wizard from across the globe, or a demon out to get your soul.

"Keep on the Borderlands" is out relatively soon. Am I retarded for wanting to organize a weekly/bi-weekly drop-in game? My regular group plays once a month if I'm lucky, but I want to play more. I'm usually quite happy doing one-shots. I imagine I'd run the adventure and people sign up on Facebook. Every week the story progresses, and players can just jump in and out as they want. It's a beginner adventure (right?), so it'd give people a taste, and I figure I'd get regulars. Gotta wait and see how the 5e conversion turns out I guess. I realize I could also do LMoP, but I just finished that with my regular group.
Veeky Forums is just you and me. there is no one else
to add to consider inflicting prone somehow, with shield master or however you please
>Displacer Beast
We fought 5 of those fuckers in a tiny room once. It took forever to kill them and they didn't even pose an actual threat to us which made killing them even more frustrating.
The DM swore he'd improve his encounter design the moment the last one fell to the floor.
Post your characters name and people shall guess what class you are playing as
I. Just I.
This should be easy to guess.
Yeah, just me and me.

Hold on. If the person who wrote this person is me... Then who am I?
Its a lot different than a ranger. If you play one weapon you're effectively being a d8 class. If you do PAM or TWF you're gonna have wizard tier health.
It works fine, but there are some obvious design flaws (Diabolic Seed doesn't work due to you not getting any actual normal Warlock patron spells and the inability to use cantrips. Hope you like Witch Bolt.), and none of the archetypes really feel like they make much of their own nice. (Order of Ghostslayers you might as well be playing a Paladin, order of the furfags is a druid with less control, Mutant is just shuffling around your stats and minor buffs for minor debuffs, and Profane Soul basically exists for damage stacking Crimson Rite and Hex)
Ranger actually fills *More* niches.
Also two weapon fighting unless you know exactly what you're doing and are up for full on MMO rotations for common combat due to how much the class uses bonus actions.

>Have you homebrewed any interesting magic items?
This one came about because nobody in our group had a means to pick locks besides smashing them, So I made the "Master Slobbertooth's vials"
A set of 3 small Vials in a leather pouch, each one has a different effect. One makes you saliva react powerfully with metal, melting it like it's been superheated. Another turns your spit into a makeshift solder gun, able to fuse metal objects together. The last makes your spittle into an extremely effective metal polish.
it was kind of fun, even if the third one doesn't have really any application

Have you ever turned an NPC into a PC after the death of the original character?
Yes, sure did. A player took over a slave the party had.
Exactly how bad does the health sacrificing get?

The Right & Honorable Reginald Geoffrey Jollybottom the Grey
Yes, I took over a party member's sister who had been communicating infrequently with sending. Worked great actually
You drop a hit dice size per weapon. That's really about it, if your DM gives short rests after each encounter. Otherwise the damage taken starts to really bite.

I'm sorry.
See the 'West Marches' campaign concept. It's tailored for drop in style gaming.

Rogue, Fighter, Warlock, Druid
First two were randomly generated by orcpub, third one was "I forgot to give my character a name" so I ran with it, last one means something in some language.

Half right. They're actually both rogues
Nice.
Jin.
Hint: For the sake of a joke, he frequently signs himself "Gin" though "Jin" is a correct spelling.
Does it break rules in any way or is the OP being faggot reason enough?
What's a good magic item for a PAM/GWM Hexblade Warlock?
How do you get good at naming characters, anyway? I see a lot of names like "Snargle the Snarled" or "Hibiscus Kettlewheel" and that seems pretty definitive.
It really depends on the kind of campaign you're running and the level of magic prevalent in the scenario. For example, a transmutation wizard would excel in campaigns that focus heavily on exploration, from skywriting to underwater breathing, but even then his focused abilities go by the wayside thanks to Potions of Water Breathing or Potions of Flight. Polymorphs and Magic Weapon also complements a low-magic setting where magical items aren't as prevalent and some encounters are more difficult, and a better Knock means one of your friends doesn't have to be a skillmonkey if they don't want to. The problem is that in most modules and most homebrews, it's all going to be high fantasy stuff where evocation and abjuration are much better options.
It seems pretty clear that he's trying to start shit with the picture and linking the wiki.
>Warlock?
close but no cigar, he is a wizard

>imagination
>not giving a fuck if it sounds funny
And each time you do this, you lose a d4 greater of Max HP? And it's a Bonus Action?
Aren't the Blood Curses Bonus Actions as well?
i just reroll alot on a fantasy name generator until i see something i like and then maybe change a letter or two
My method seen in has carried me for years
step 1
find a city/country/something with a long name
step 2
try to find a name that sounds similiar to it's first half
step 3
bastardize the remaining half and make it your last name

Nope.
Another hint: The idea that joke is about alcohol is correct, but the original "Jin" refers to the not-Asian word for "Sword".

how do you even do GWM hexblade?
that's Lex*
Presumably by making your pact weapon into a weapon that qualifies for it
Hexblade with pact of the blade
Get a glaive
Hit people while in darkness bubble.
Hex Warrior applies to any weapon when you have Pact of the Blade, so you can use Greatswords from lvl 3 onwards with your Cha modifier

>no anime on my anime Image board
Anime ruined Pathfinder, anime ruined your life.
Yes
No

Jack Marrow
by conjuring or bonding a heavy weapon? If you take Pact of the Blade, Hex Warrior applies to your pact weapon.
I'll have you know now that i found my wiafu I'm happier than i've ever been
I'm the campaign I'm doing home brewing a magic item nearly every session. It's fun.
Latest was a bourbon blade. It's a plus one sword that forces anyone cut by it to become intoxicated. If someone is killed by it, they turn into fine bourbon. I haven't told the player yet, but the sword has a small curse on it in that mishaps tend to happen as if the wielder is drunk.
So? Veeky Forums has grown beyond anime. Keep it to your containment board.
>Trying to make an interesting non-multiclassed Warlock
>Mechanically speaking, feel like I'm only ever going to be at like 70% of my potential at best
help, i've contracted the munchkin
Something with Gift of the Ever Living Ones (Which should really be Prerequisite- Undying imo) and face tanking via hp regen could be neat.
Stay mad user
