Elves and Crime (lemmy.world)

Is there any source material or canon info detailing how elves in the Forgotten Realms setting handle crime and punishment?

As a DM, my biggest complaint about the magic item shop generators online is the lack of exact price. Most come with a rarity, but I personally feel like the vast range in prices is too great for me to just plug and play. For example: I feel like a cloak of displacement is much more valuable than say a Berserker's Axe, even though they're both "Rare". So I felt like when players asked for a shop, I had to take time and read up on the item and then assign a price.

Would you use an online tool that was free (with like Google ads on side panels or something) that had associated exact prices (randomized between 75% and 125% and assigned value) that had a sliding scale based on something everyone probably has figured out for their world, like the price of a potion of Healing?

I've made a python script for my own personal use, and I'm thinking about turning it into a full web application. But I wanted to get your opinions on if this a tool you would like?

I was thinking recently that intellect devours, are a pretty easy for if you have good intelligence. On the other hand they are absolutely deadly if you have a bad intelligence score. It got me thinking, as an exercise, what other monsters are like that for the other stats?

I bet this question gets asked a lot. I have been DMing an in person group for a couple months now. My first game back since around 2008 or so and I'm hooked again. The downside is that we're all parents and scheduling is a nightmare (per the norm). We are only meeting once a month or less.

So I want to look into running another game online. I tried roll20 with a one shot that I wrote for the purpose and being that it was my first time using the platform it just kind of got in the way. I want to pick one platform (roll20, Foundry VTT, or whatever) and really do a deep dive to learn it so I can run an online game with a steady group. Setting up the self hosting of Foundry is no problem for me but I've read that players can find it confusing to use. I want players and myself to be able to manipulate the platform as seamlessly as possible.

Before I keep rambling on forever, what in your opinion is the easiest VTT to run and to play? I would like perspective from players and from DMs.

Hey all! I want to get her something DnD related which is more personal than just dice or something. I was thinking of getting her art of her cats as DnD characters, which ones are best? And is there any other present you'd suggest?

A saving throw—also called a save—represents an attempt to avoid or resist a threat. You normally make a saving throw only when a rule requires you to do so, but you can decide to fail the save without rolling. The result of a save is detailed in the effect that allowed it. If a target is forced to make a save and lacks the ability score used by it, the target automatically fails.

Page 373 of PHB 2024

Bolded section is what I am concerned with. Does this mean that if I am a Barbarian with Strength/Constitution saving throw proficiency, that I automatically fail when needing to perform a Dexterity saving throw (because I do not have the ability score used by it)? Example here would be the Fireball spell cast by an enemy.

The good ol' fashioned "You all meet in a tavern, answering a poster offering gold for help..."? The action-scene, "You're all engaged in mutual mundane task, when suddenly a band of thugs/goblins/whatever bust in looking for the plot coupon and chaos breaks out"? The "Elder Scrolls classic" - all being prisoners thrown in together? Tie it in to a character's backstory and let them lead the other party members in?

What have you found interesting or successful, and why?

Hello

Wanted to share that I have made this website where you can print out your dnd e5 spell cards.

The colour of the spell cards can be customized and you can filter out the spells based on class, subclass, level or individual spells.

https://dnd.akvila.dev/

The cards are printed out on at A4, and are 2.5x3.5 inch which also fit in magic the gathering sleeves.

So im in a almost weekly dnd 5e group but i feel like i need something more to do in my personal time. Im considering trying solo but im used to being in a group and not by myself, and i feel like i cant get creative enough to play solo.

I recently found a book (as seen in image above) and im not sure if i should try it or if there are better solutions?

What would you advise?

Roller Skates (lemmy.world)

I was making some unique loot for a low-level party I'm running a quest for this week, and my roller derby brain intruded upon my D&D brain.

I DM a campaign on a Neverwinter Nights server weekly, and last week, we had a character get drunk and vomit in the common room of an inn in an elven village.

So the proprietor not only acquired an emergency bucket, but a one that is suitably elven and fey-touched.

I thought you all might get a chuckle out of this.

Next week, I'm going camping with my wife, my brother and his wife, and my 9-year-old niece.. My brother asked if I'd prep a DnD game to play. My niece knows the basics and I'm modifying rules to make it easier for her, and I'm making a bunch of characters for them to choose from based on Gravity Falls characters.

I'm prepping A Wild Sheep Chase for playing out in the fresh air, but we have a chance of rain I'd like suggestions for another short adventure i can prep. The sillier the better!

Cross-posted from "What kinds of toxic masculinity have you encountered?" by @lukstru@lemmy.world in !asklemmy@lemmy.world


You can just vent if you want, but here’s more context: We're playing a DnD oneshot soon, and the theme is toxic masculinity (particularly in a gym). We’re all playing dudes who visited the gym for a long time already. I already have some ideas for my character, but I want to collect some more stories of toxic masculinity, as I’m quite lucky that my bubble doesn’t have much of it.
