D&D V6 - Edition jokes don't really make sense anymore - Games

A chemical mummy.

Alchemical Lich? I've always liked that idea, even if it doesn't not really make any sense. So, I just killed a player character in my campaign and not in combat. Through an extreme harsh trek in a violent snow storm, after several extremely unlucky crit fails, my 5e campaign's female paladin of Helm succumbed to the cold and frostbite after reaching 7 points of exhaustion. The player of the party's warlock drew this innocent thing before all the super unlucky rolls the paladin got. [IMG]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/292009980310323200/328540831747145738/unknown.png[/IMG] The Paladin just had failed a roll against the fear from the blizzard and started to hallucinate, her panic they managed to calm down with the bard casting Calm Emotions. Little did they know that the party's beloved justice obsessed paladin would fall not in combat, but from the harsh harsh winter caused by a land curse the party tried to stop. With everyone feeling guilty, and seeing the death of such a close friend they had to roll against the horror and only the bard succeeded. Now trying to bury her in the frozen ground, the party all had a sense of overwhelming dread and sadness looming over them. Despite all this, my players thought this was the best session we've had so far. I'm so happy that I've been recording these sessions so we can all look back at moments like this. When the first time a player character have died with this group, and there was no drama or bullshit. There was sadness and many feelings but nothing disruptive of the game and the group which made me so happy and relieved, so this character death meant more than the death itself. Hope ya'll can have similar good moments as these. As a GM, they truly make you feel appreciated.

[video=youtube;bK9cSX-peE4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK9cSX-peE4[/video] They sing "Fly Nahji, fly", referring to a type of bird. If I could animate it, the camera would be very zoomed into her still face and slowly fly up to get a Birdseye view and then follow as her soul flies away freely. [editline]26th June 2017[/editline] The warlock player drawed a proper picture of the death of the party's female paladin, and it moved me. It's beautiful.

[QUOTE=slayer20;52399523]If a mad scientist were to turn himself into a terrible creature, what kind of creature would he turn himself into? 5e btw.[/QUOTE] Werecreatures and Gibbering Mouthers come to mind, but my personal advice is to find something cool from MM or Volos and then reflavour it. I.E a Giant Ape is just the scientist going hulk mode or use the Yuan-Ti snake/human hybrids and flavour them as something else aside from snakes.

[QUOTE=RearAdmiral;52401218][t]http://i.imgur.com/cOdfVYo.png[/t] Today's/[sp]every[/sp] D&D Session Summary[/QUOTE] In our current campaign our DM banned Tieflings and Drow party members. RPing them in this campaign where the vast majority of NPCs are human and dwarven would complicate things. Seemed like a fair enough thing to do, and we still have variety in our party; Human barbarian, Dwarf cleric, Wood Elf ranger, Half-elf warlock and obligatory Halfling thief.

To be fair, surface drows aren't too bad :v:

I'm playing as the Drow in question, I just made incredibly poor decision making skills part of my core class features.

I wasn't liking how my gnome wizard was turning out gameplay and character wise, so I asked my DM and he let me change him up. Now I have a human draconic sorcerer who is an absent-minded pyromaniac. I just quickly build his skills and made up his personality over the course of the game night, and that worked out pretty well. [t]http://i.imgur.com/HS1JfZW.jpg[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/vSF5CV2.jpg[/t] Also actually got a figure I liked and painted it up. Not perfect by any means, but it looks good enough.

Maybe my bar is set very low but I think that looks great. I like the choice of color for the cloak.

Here is a little story about the start of the camapign i am DMing: Im DMing a 5e campaign for my 3 friends who have a fighter, warlock/fighter, and a barbarian. In the past i found that ive been too easy going and let them get away with way too much with very little consequences, so i decided to change it up and make things more challenging. The party was tasked with infiltrating the heavily guarded manor of a powerful crime lord and either extract information from him directly or find information laying around that could lead them to his colleagues. The Warlock/fighter decides to sit outside until night and then constantly harass the guards from a distance using eldrich blast, illusions, and their super high stealth while the fighter and barbarian, who also had really high stealth, sneak in through a back entrance that leads to the basement. This plan worked long enough for the two to sneak in, but eventually i decided that if the guards are constantly getting harassed from outside then they would instead go back inside and fortify the defenses of the mansion so they dont take casualties. The warlock sneaks around and joins the other two where they manage to find the crime lord in his courtyard surrounded by armed guards and snipers. The barbarian decides to charge right at the crime lord and gets almost insantly shot down by the snipers and gets captured, while the other two snuck their way out of the mansion the moment the barbarian decided to reveal himself. After the session i asked my friend why his character did that and he told me he just didnt like the character and wanted a new one, so i sorta just let him do that. So now, with his new character, the party composition is a fighter, a warlock/fighter, and another warlock. This seems like an interesting composition to play around with, and since they dont have a real tank (the fighter is a ranged fighter, so they dont have defense prioritized) ill have to make encounters challenging, but not completely unfair for their party comp.

Now that I have him painted all I gotta do is wait since the game I was playing him in was put on indefinite hold due to work troubles.

I forgot something very important in this dnd4e session while garroting a cultist mage, to always prioritize killing them as soon as possible, got nat20 feltouched by the dude I was garroting :v: "Geek the fucking mage" -Ancient shadowrun proverb

First we got con saving throws to make sure they could outrun it, was all fine and dandy. The lowest anyone rolled there was a 12, I think. Then they got to the exit and they all tried to jump out of the way. Only one roll was over 10. Out of a party of 5, only one person made it out.

Considering getting a T-shirt that says "YOU HAVE A D4" printed on it so my party will remember I cast Bless on them.

If you tattooed it on their retinas they'd still forget.

My Bard ALWAYS forgets about cutting words And inspiring song ITS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING A BARD DOES

so I'm a complete 100% fresh face to pathfinder, and I'm gearing up to get into my first campaign. I've been trying to figure out what I'm going to do for my build but I need some advice; anyone know of any good resources or forums to ask for build advice? I'm having a difficult time figuring out how effective I will actually be because I have so little experience. Trying to do a Dwarven Warpriest worshiping the god of drink and travel, where my main weapon will be a rapier while using an offhand tankard for casting and dirty tricks. But I don't know how to maximize this damage wise and how much to invest in STR/DEX, if I should just be crit fishing, etc.

/tg/'s [del]Pathfinder[/del] Paizo Games General can be helpful sometimes. When they're not neck deep in shipping characters of games with each other.

So they're never useful then :v:

I drew a friendly cat man bard for my campaign last night. I'm happy how it came out. [t]http://i.imgur.com/ilRxyXo.png[/t]
