>Previously, on /5eg/ What does your party's camp look like when they settle down for the night? Any pets/henchmen/tents or is it just a bunch of hobos lying down in the mud?
Hobos and mud, because my party is too stupid to use a fraction of the resources I put stop their finger tips.
Juan Phillips
Is shitposting even fun anymore? I'm pretty bored.
Charles Hall
wrong thread, hide and report

Every group I've DM'd for has hated travel and discussing what they do at night.
Nicholas Peterson
Just report and ignore, non troll thread was made earlier here
Dylan Gomez
Now that I think about it, wouldn't major travel routes be dotted with rest stops of a sort? Basically big camps where travelers can rest and stock up on supplies, and find some entertainment and good food. It seems like it'd be a good business, since not everywhere is suitable for a fullblown town or village to be raised.

Samuel Cruz
Please leave forever, shitposter-kun.
Carter Allen
Since I have no idea which thread is the real one...
Theoretically, if I wanted to run 5E, but I wanted my players to be able to have Feats AND stat bumps instead of having to choose between them, what would I have to do to make that work?
Jose Anderson
>this thread >made 13 minutes ago >that thread >made 10 minutes ago Hmmmmmmmm.
Carter Garcia
How do you deal with the checkers like simplicity of 5e negating the fun of attaining system mastery, along with the lack of any meaningful content streams keeping things fresh?
Samuel Moore
But user, when does it stop being a big camp and become a full blown town?
Aiden Scott
You'd be able to throw harder encounters at them earlier.
Robert Adams
Read and compare the pastebins between the two threads.
He's getting so desperate that he's just copying and pasting posts from between threads.
Eli James
>Since I have no idea which thread is the real one... Take a look at the pastebins and guess >what would I have to do to make that work? Well, probably slightly bump up some monster AC/saves here and there, and make your encounters use a bit more strategy than normal. Remember, you're letting the players bump their numbers up, but more importantly you're also giving them a larger expanse of options at the same time. Honestly I don't think you'll notice very much as long as you build your encounters properly (smart enemies, good environment interaction, no solo enemy fights, etc.).
Ryan Taylor
That's kinda subtle since the 5e stuff is at the top. This is getting pretty out of hand. Does anyone even read the pastebin?
Kayden Carter
calibrate user. run an encounter with monsters that don't run out of HP. The encounter ends after five rounds. Keep track of how much damage the players deal. Find that number on the custom CR chart. Find that CR. Then find the difference between that CR and a medium encounter CR.
That difference is how much more CR you need to add to any encounter to adjust for your party's increased ability and tactics.
Daniel Moore
I'd make it so that it's transitory. They're only set up in high traffic seasons. No permanent structures, just great big tents, pavilions, simple stages and hired guards. It could be treated like a tourist attraction, almost.
Matthew Cooper
Isnt that how inns used to work back in the day? Basically like those resting spots you find along nature walks but bigger.
Aaron Davis
Well, it got 2,500 views before anyone noticed, and it says it was made on the 15th. So it's safe to say that the majority of people on 5eg are illiterate.
James Ward
What are your opinions on DMs specifically not targeting PCs with spells they would be likely to save, when fighting intelligent creatures? Like avoiding Wisdom saves for the cleric or Constitution saves for the fighter. Is it purely metagaming or you should assume intelligent enemies would recognize who's more dextrous, tougher, or has better mental defenses?
On a more specific note, could enemies know that paladins have an aura around them that protects the party?
Jordan Kelly
>making a new thread as the very first reply to a thread I am really fucking confused right now
Josiah Long
How? How are you having trouble grasping that someone is shitposting as hard as they possibly can?
Elijah Perry
is this a decent boss for a party of 5 level 5 adventurers?
i'm not sure if i posted it basically it's a priestess with a parasyte taking over her body as a vessel bursting out and cornering the players
it should also spawn some stirges either every once in a while, or every time it gets hit for x damage
I've also been thinking of using the stirges as something "connected" to it and healing it instead of having the regeneration
Nathaniel Clark
Any good boss monster needs legendary actions tacked onto it.
Adrian Cruz
Oh right, I should've taken that into account
summoning stirges would make a great legendary action, but what other monsters with legendary actions should I check out to steal and franken into this thing?
Owen Collins
Would somebody really do that? Just go on the internet and shitpost?
Jaxon Taylor
No. That's fucking stupid. Are you stupid?
Julian Thompson
I (well, we) stopped playing in December 2013 after 25 years and have been getting the urge a lot recently. I ghost your guys' threads and I want to give the game a try, but I just can't get past the feats versus stats thing. I've always enjoyed the power fantasy games as one user dubbed it and so did my players. I think I can get the band back together if I look at this 5E stuff as a option.
Carson Morales
Intelligent monsters shouldn't know what a person's mental saves are like unless they've observed the party for a decent amount of time. Physical saves are probably easier to guess once a fight breaks out just by observing someone's physical movements and appearance, but you can't just point at a guy and say "Yeah, he looks wise enough to squirm out of Hold Person." Monsters that have insight into the working of common race society in a setting where classes have recognizable features to the populace would have a better excuse, but why the fuck would you play in a setting where classes are common and tangible descriptions of people? The Paladin thing probably comes down to how you fluff the ability, however. And even if they deduce that the rallying personality of the Paladin is boosting morale enough to effect saves, there's no way for a monster to find out that the ability has a range, much less what that range is.
Owen Perry
Yes. Quite frequently even though he always gets banned, too. I actually feel bad for him, he doesn't even get that many (You)s.
Angel Ross
Different guy. I haven't gotten up to a legendary action-worthy bossfight in 5E as either a DM or a player, but I'd imagine you'd want to stick legendary resistance on there, unless you want it to get stunlocked into the grave.
Xavier Howard
He got one of his bait threads to be the main thread recently. We learned an important lesson about critical rolefags that day.
Kevin Ortiz
I suppose I'd argue that if the monster knew guys with sticks and pointy hats are probably wizards and guys with big necklaces who chant a lot are probably clerics just like they know guys with big swords are fighters and short dudes with knives are thieves then it would be fine.
Eli Gonzalez
I've never been banned though. Hell, all I had to do was make 3 OPs in a row with a different pastebin and everyone else did the rest.
Christian Sullivan
Who reads the OP anyway?
Adrian Thompson
>58236114 See you in 3 days again, shitposter-kun.
Oliver Ward
A decent chunk of people since fag boy showed up.
Jayden Carter
Clearly no one, which is a sort of victory on its own.
Jackson Ward
This
Oliver Diaz
Can drow be Bladesingers too, or is it exclusive to other elves?
Christopher Flores
I'd rule exclusive, because fuck Drowfags.
Xavier Hernandez
Looking for non-biased answers thank you
Jordan Collins
Up to you, really. 5e has no lore. Anything goes. If you're going by Forgotten Realms, then no drow allowed.
Gabriel Gonzalez
What does Veeky Forums think of this character? >Senex Fatuus >Changeling Bard/Satire >Teenaged >Takes the appearance of a REALLY old man (65-75) >Gets refused service at bars because bartenders think he'll keel over and die >Pretends to talk about "The Good Old Days" but actually has no idea what he's talking about. >Tells immature, raunchy jokes because he thinks it's adult humour.
Jaxon Allen
Fucking why, settling down for the night is the best time for the party to mingle and actually roleplay among themselves, talk about their backstories, and share information or ideas they have. Even more importantly, it give the DM a few minutes of not really having to do anything so they can focus on making sure they have all the statblocks/notes/materials they need for the next day.
Elijah Reed
This.
There are groups that skip campfire scenes? For what purpose??
Xavier Murphy
Not them but I wish, more often than not they just sit there staring at each other.
Wyatt Young
We took the tent of some bandits we found way at the low levels and just have the wizards raven roosting on it/somewhere nearby keeping watch
Jaxson Price
That could go one of two ways: Really hilarious or really autistic. Is it a self-insert user-kun?
Aaron Garcia
too much metahumour
Dylan Morris
What do you mean 5e has no lore? Wouldn't it be FR lore because that's the default setting?
Noah Martinez
While FR is the default setting, the classes themselves are divorced from settings for the most part. However, as Bladesinger was introduced in the SCAG, it's probably fair to say that drow can't be bladesingers.
Parker Hill
Is this where I'm supposed to be posting or is it the other thread?
What are some cute things a magic crafter could make for their Rogue boyfriend?
I'm thinking a Cloak of Useful items, with the patches inside instead of out, that way it looks like any other Cloak or a Hat of Disguise, though the Rogue is out of attunement slots... Is there something better?
Homebrew items are also good if anyone has any.
Elijah Fisher
I don't need to pretend my pretend character is sitting around a pretend campfire to talk about his pretend backstory. I can pretend whenever I want.
Elijah Cooper
Pants that let him hide objects in a pocket dimension, opening is on the inside of waist.
Liam Reyes
Is that just regular pants with pockets?
Jason Stewart
>Mods did their job Fucking finally
Christian Murphy
>What are some cute things a magic crafter could make for their Rogue boyfriend? It physically hurts me to type this but A pair of Gloves of Thievery with the words "My" and "Heart" sewn into the backs of the hands so that any time he tries to steal something he's reminded that he's already stolen your greatest treasure. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go drink to forget how lonely I am.
Jose Taylor
What do you think of using the Warforged UA to play a skeleton character?
Ayden Torres
No, make it so the pocket on the inside is like a bag of holding, he can fit things in there that shouldn't fit in a pocket. That way he can sneak weapons and shit into places far easier.
Brayden Hernandez
You gonna be ok there m8?
John Clark
Brb, gonna go commission a pair of gloves for my wife.
Luke James
That is the sappiest/cutest thing I have ever heard. I think she might die of embarrassment for trying that.
Two problems with this one though: One person in the party already has a set of Gloves of Thievery and Two the Gloves are Invisible while worn so he would never actually see the message unless he takes them off.
Noah Roberts
I'd rather use it to make a warforged paladin.
Jonathan Moore
Granted, but I can't really think of a better way to make a skeleton PC, since homebrew is all over the place.
Jacob Moore
I've got half a bottle of vodka now so yeah. >Gloves are Invisible while worn so he would never actually see the message You can't "see" love either but it's always there.
Liam Fisher
You may have bested me for now, but I'll be back!
It's doable, but replace Strength with Dexterity. Maybe replace the additional armor class with something appropriately spooky. Work that out with your DM.
Caleb Peterson
What spells should an Arcane Trickster with 8 INT take?
Logan Rogers
Yeah, most of the homebrew rules I find for them seem really bare-bones.
Austin Turner

Jaxson Morgan

Colton Murphy
Razorclaw Shifter >Shifting Feature. While shifting, you can make an unarmed strike as a bonus action. You can use your Dexterity for its attack roll and damage bonus, and this attack deals slashing damage. Would this be decent for an unarmed melee character?
Bentley Scott
I personally thought it was very humerus.
John Richardson
This. But with my inflame/chard enemies on stakes out front.
>Elf Fighter player is constantly pissy because his damage rolls are shit >Gets real quiet during the game when his rolls are bad, stops playing >Gets upset whenever the Dwarf spams Guidance outside of combat cause he says that's "not playing right" >Gets even more upset that I let a guy play Hobgoblin and don't have him be discriminated in towns >One day I make a scenario where a Goblin Child gets caught pick pocketing a woman in town >It was the Dwarf using guidance again that let him roll high enough to realize what the Goblin was doing that already put the Elf in a bad mood >Upon the Dwarf crying out about the theft, the Elf literally rolled to attack the Goblin Child >Got a 19 on hit and nearly max damage >As I say he's managed to knock out the child easily, the Elf tells me he didn't roll Non-Fatal damage and the Goblin should be dead >The Paladin and Wizard were across the street too far to intervene >Upon observing the Goblin Child's corpse they realize it's heavily malnourished and looks to have been abused >The Cleric prepares Ceremony and the Paladin and Wizard both purchase a grave plot for this unnamed child >As they prepare to bury the kid, the Fighter spits on their corpse and says the only good goblin is a dead goblin after being totally silent after killing the kid >Now I've been messaged by the 3 other players that if the Fighter steps out of line again, all 3 of them are going to either kill him or refuse to play if I forbid PvP
What do I do?
Brandon Davis
Tell the fighter to stop being a dick or get out of the party
Gabriel Diaz
Thats a pretty beastly monster
Juan Phillips
Sick double post.
Carson Evans
>Gets refused service at bars because bartenders think he'll keel over and die
When would this ever happen
James Martinez
I typo'd sorry.
Luis Robinson
Yeah, probably boost it's attack power to 1d4+Dex instead of just 1+Dex. It's a racial ability, it should be on par with other racials (like Tabaxi)
Kevin Peterson
>Spoiler Ugh... you're making a lot of sense and that's really frustrating. I don't want to give him the thieves gloves cause someone else has a set in the group (That person has a +18 to Slight of Hands) I don't want two of those running around.
Maybe we should homebrew a set of gloves that turn invisible while worn. What would be a neat effect to attach to a set of non attuneable gloves?
Gabriel Adams
Pants where the pockets connect to the girlfriends tits and ass
Alexander Evans
I don't see why it's any better than just TWF with a dagger. Personally I prefer Wildhunt for that sweet, sweet on demand +5 to Passive Perception.
Aiden Sanders
Great tips, thanks.
Nathaniel Johnson
Help me round out my ambush encounter, /5eg/
The bad guys already have the brutes to soak up damage (a bunch of mezzoloths and nycaloths who are gonna try to dispel every single thing the party casts), good single-target damage (a rogue/warlock-ish NPC) and a young dragon (who will mostly use its breath weapon then fuck off to munch on innocent bystanders).
But I feel like that's not enough. The party is very high level 13 and loaded with magic items. What would you suggest? I think I need some kind of AoE blaster, is there any easy NPC sheet I could use? Or some kind of monster that could be used?
Robert Harris
Where's the dedicated spell caster user? A hybrid doesn't count.
Nolan Ramirez
Hit em with an anti-magic field!
Xavier Perry
>I don't want two of those running around. Worried he might start trying to cop a feel with that boost to sleight of hand?
Aiden Morris
>Bags of Handholding A bag that when you put your hand inside you can feel the hand of the other person that owns the opposing bag.
Isaiah Wood
This works. Maybe replace the AC with something similar to the Half-Orc's relentless endurance flavored as Undead Endurance? Basically you drop to 1 HP instead of 0 once every long rest.
Matthew Sanders
>Where's the dedicated spell caster user? That's the kind of thing I want but am too lazy to make from scratch, figure out all the spells and such. Also I want it to be powerful but not too much, since although I want to overwhelm the party, I still want them to have a chance.
James Lewis
Is there any reason to ever give out a magic item that's just a +whatever?
Luis Hill
As awesome as that would be, the bad guys rely a bit on magic too... But I guess not as much as the party.
