[OOC] Aesithas (D&D 5e Homebrew) - On Hiatus

[Fading Memory]

@Neianna86

Feel free to do a little 'OOC' section to make your meta-actions more clear; This is Sacred Flame, so go ahead and roll damage. I'll make their Saving Throw and let you know if they suffer the damage.

[Neianna86]

@Fading Memory All right, added the attack roll to the post.

[XxFellsingxX]

@Fading Memory A couple of things I want to clear up before I finish my post:
- How much HP does the swarm that Iris attacked still have? Because if she's either dealt with that swarm or close to finishing it off, Vigil wouldn't feel the need to help because he'd assume she had that covered.
- If I were to use Compelled Duel on the swarm that is further away, would that affect the entire swarm or like... a single member of that swarm? xD

@XxFellsingxX

Dm Secret; Swarms are resistant to bludgeoning/piercing/slashing damage. And they tend to be small buckets of health that hit hard but have minimal bells and whistles. Tralaya are special and dangerous, but the big thing is ‘bucket of health that does a chunk of damage’ for Swarms.

For rules purposes the swarm is one ‘creature’. So go for it!

@Fading Memory

Hmm...

How well known are Tralaya? Like would Vigil know that they are particularly tanky or dangerous? 'Cause that will affect whether he wants to aid Iris or not. If he doesn't know, he might just assume she's got this and attempt to engage the other swarm with Compelled Duel xD

[Fading Memory]

The general knowledge of Tralaya is that they eat people, ‘have the deathly touch of the Dreadlord Dykto’, and tend to come in swarms; more specific knowledge would require some suitable knowledge check (an action). In broad mythological terms and what he can see around him? He should probably help unless he believes himself to be more helpful ‘tanking’

@Fading Memory

Alright, fair enough ^^ Thank you.

Either you posted in the wrong RP or you rolled on the wrong thing xD

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Shoot. I rolled in the dice wrong thread. DX

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Those rolls were meant for this game. ^^”

@Guardian Angel Haruki

It's fine. I'm always afraid I'm going to roll in the wrong dice thread one of these days xP

@Guardian Angel Haruki

you have the wonderful choice of either...

Festering Wound. Your hit point maximum is reduced by 1 every 24 hours the wound persists. If your hit point maximum drops to 0, you die. The wound heals if you receive magical healing. Alternatively, someone can tend to the wound and make a DC 15 Wisdom (Medicine) check once every 24 hours. After ten successes, the wound heals.

or

Minor Scar. The scar doesn't have any adverse effect. Magical healing of 6th level or higher, such as heal and regenerate, removes the scar.

@Fading Memory

Dang…!

Well. I think I’ll take the scar. ^^”

[Fading Memory]

Thankfully, for the injuries, high = less bad. I may use a more customized table at some point but the collective groan people give off for even the basic DMG table is satisfying.

[XxFellsingxX]

Hmmm.... big question, now: attack the second swarm or use Lay On Hands to heal Amaryllis. Not sure what would be more helpful at this point xD

[Fading Memory]

In the whole ‘I’m being friendly with the simple initiative’ and letting you guys act in whatever order on ‘Players Turn’, if someone healed Amaryllis up I’d let Haruki take a proper turn. The ‘risk’ of snowballing Exhaustion is dangerous enough that I don’t feel compelled to ‘steal’ turns from my players because they chose to be fluffy.

Do as you will, but in general I will be ‘friendly’ with interpretations and activations like this. I’ll specify if something has Legendary actions and order matters.

[XxFellsingxX]

@Fading Memory Also, if the Swarm attempts to attack Amaryllis or Iris in the next turn, can I use my reaction to give them Disadvantage on the attack roll, given I have the Defensive fighting style?

[Fading Memory]

Absolutely. Feel free to punch me and yell ‘Reaction’ if I ever accidentally jump over the dialogue; editing posts is easy.

@XxFellsingxX Thank you!!!! XD
