KingGoblin Posted August 18, 2023 Clone Share Posted August 18, 2023 How does the new house rule apply to, say, a small warlock who uses Charisma instead of Strength creating a great sword as a pact weapon? Or even a human one doing the same, really, since pact of the blade hexlocks usually dump strength.

KingGoblin Posted August 19, 2023 Clone Share Posted August 19, 2023 Great, now I have to have her decide if she wants to keep using her whip and shield, or drop the shield for a halberd or pike or something to keep reach. Or use a two handed sword for the coolness. Or a greataxe or a maul, for even more coolness. Or... Hm. Coolness. I am tempted by the idea of a tiny little gully dwarf with a big scary weapon. Should probably stick with something with reach, though, when we fight people who can explode or shoot out petrification gas or whatever.

Not really. That many coming will tear down that gate in a few rounds. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next three rounds will be "Invasion Encounters" as you head down to the wharf, whilst the three down at the wharf have skill challenges. Then the final battle will occur on the wharf and end chapter. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGoblin Posted August 19, 2023 Clone Share Posted August 19, 2023 Fun! So, giant constrictor snakes have no skills, and a hugely negative cha mod. If she wanted the snake to use diplomacy, I would understand, but for intimidation, at least here, could it use strength instead? I don't think there are a any modifiers for size in intimidation like there were in 3.5, either. Otherwise, for the skill challenges, do we have to use different skills each time, or can we use the same ones multiple tries?

Yes, you may use the GCS's Strength modifier in lieu of its Charisma modifier for the purposes of intimidation. As you can see, it has no proficiencies, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have any skills. It's skill checks are just made without proficiency.

Also, to answer your second question, you can use whatever skills you'd like. Perhaps my next post will include new information or situations that inspire the use of a different skill. Be creative! For example, if you choose perception, you (or the snake, whoever) can be a lookout and perhaps find an opening for some more people to move a little more freely. I'm giving you guys a lot of leeway here, so feel free to move people about, have them react to your skill uses, etc. When it comes to my post, it'll mostly be wrapup and explaining the next stage. Merituuli's hawk can provide the help action on one of his skill checks (or one of yours, to whomever he chooses to give it to). Edit: Within one round, you must use 3 different skills, not 3 posts of the same skill. If you choose Athletics, Slight of Hand, and Insight, that's fine, but Athletics, Athletics, and Slight of hand, is not allowed. In the next round, you can use Athletics again, and of course, within the same round, if you and Merituuli both use Athletics, that's fine, too.

JubalBreakbottle Posted December 8, 2023 Clone Share Posted December 8, 2023 If we short rest before going to the burned farm house, we can bury/cremate the body. Coltan could remove the family crest. And, Artanis could start wearing the plate armor. And, people could reset Short Rest resources. Just a suggestion Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
