So this guy was born during a creature design course, partially as an anatomy study!
I was inspired by the imaginative world of Del Toro and wanted to make something that would fit into his style.
I can imagine him quietly and slowly stalking his target, using his long tentacles to whip forward and grab his prey and forcing them into his torso mouth!
It’s rumoured his mouth is actually a portal to a desolate void where his prey is trapped for eternity.
The faces protruding from his hammerhead are the souls trying to force their way back into existence but to no avail.

I’d love to hear your ideas for this guys stats or its backstory!

I have actually printed out a fairly large figure of him and still in the process of painting, I can’t wait to figure out how to add that disgusting saliva!

Hey Reddit. My partner (M) is the DM of our group. We've been playing his homebrew campaign weekly for two real-life years. There are some parts I enjoy but on the whole, I'm not enjoying it, especially compared to other campaigns I've played. When I try to give feedback to my partner about things that I think could be improved, he gets extremely sad and/or defensive.

If this campaign was run by strangers, I absolutely would have just quit. But I don't feel I can - because he runs it, it's at our house, and it's with some very old friends. If I quit, I'd either have to specially leave the house to avoid them, or be in the house doing my own thing (both of which seem rude and antisocial). When I give feedback it is very badly received with my partner feeling either like I'm burdening him with extra things to do, or trying to "muscle in" if I offer to do them myself. So I feel like I can't quit, can't change anything, but also can't continue spending hours every week on something that really isn't enjoyable. So far, I've coped by doing other non-disruptive things at the same time (like crochet). Another player knits. I think of the campaign as a slightly dull podcast I listen to where I occasionally roll a dice but even with this framing I'm starting to resent it, because I know how thrilling this game CAN be.

Has anyone navigated a situation like this? What did you do?

Ok, so a bit of Unpopular opinion here, no doubt. But I was just thinking about armor and realized the ridiculously low Strenght requirements that armor gets.

I know it's old news (with this being an outdated version and all), but why casters get everything that martials have, for free. While Martials need feats and being a little bit MAD just to have 1 daily spell or so?

I think -being generous- Medium armor should have the STR requirements that currently Heavy armor has; and Heavy armor should have slightly higher ones.

...and coincidentally, this would help a tiny bit to make STR a little bit better.

FROM POST: appears like a dragon/lobster hybrid, squared face with bulky teeth in a small dragon’s mouth, no scales but a segmented shell of multi-colors (green/red/blue/yellow). 6 small-almost vestigial crustacean legs and 2 arms with only 2 claws each, 2 sets of wings like thick quills with connective webbing, set of large antennae for sensing surroundings, controllable bioluminescent dots along body. They lie in darkness when hunting in deep water, swimming quickly to their target and crushing with their strong jaws. Near water surface, they they fly in and out of the ocean to surprise both birds and large surface prey like whales. They have no language but communicate with each other using a combo of flashing their light patterns and roaring. frequent prey for dragon turtles and krakens. can be somewhat tamed by aquatic civilizations.

QUESTION: would 2 of these be a solid challenge against 3 level 15s and 2 level 9s for the finale of an under water one shot?

I DM a table of people, one of which plays ranger. I feel like I'm not doing as much for them as I am anyone else in the party.

I really don't understand the ranger class well, don't enjoy to play it and find it hard to tailor to compared to any martial class or other casters.

So far specific things for the ranger has been:

• Receiving Natures mantle magic item
• Having some nature checks that only they can do (In wilderness or facts about monsters)
• Unfortunately that's about it tailored towards them specifically.

So I ask. What do you people who play a ranger what to see, experience or receive more at the table?

Bonus points for consumables. Scrolls seem to go to the wizard, potions end up with the paladin and poisons with the rogue...

Hi everyone I’m looking to get some advice for a point of great stress in my current DnD session.

To make things a bit easier to understand I am playing a made up class known as a pictomancer In a 5e campaign. I’m basically a bard that uses a brush and chromatic paints as my weapons. I can only use magic that can be categorized by a chromatic element (ex: firebolt/Fireball in red). The Dm, his wife and I went over the ENTIRE list of spells and even some homebrew ones to make clear which spells I could use. The catch being I have to have at least seen the spell be used to *paint* the spell.

Now to the problem I’m having. Recently, I’ve noticed I’ve started taking the most damage. We had a boss fight and the boss took 5 attacks of opportunity to charge me specifically and would not stop attacking me until the party put him down.

I had to use an inspiration due to reroll a failed save for something that wasn’t even aimed at me. That the dm confirmed when asked by our cleric would have killed me.

In a different fight most of the enemies only made attacks at me and this was a zombie horde fight. Now I’m no stranger to catching strays or being the focus but after a while it was getting really weird.

After our last session when the others left I was talking with him and joked about how it feels like he’s really trying to kill me. shocker he didn’t laugh and said he was full serious. It took me a moment to process but I asked him why and he told me that he was sick of me bailing the party out with how versatile my pictomancy and that the encounters don’t have tension because I carry a good bit of spells for occasions.

His breaking point was when the party failed as a group a save that caused us to plummet into a dragons horde. With a reaction I used a spell Feather fall (part of the spells in green/wind) and saved the entire party from damage and the run since we landed right in front of the dragon that would have killed 3 of us and probably downed one while injuring 2 others. He said he wanted us to have a true trial and I ruined it he mentioned a few other times and I just let him vent from what I got it’s mainly that when things could go very wrong I stop it most of the time and he doesn’t like that.

Now I’m not as mad as I think I should be but I’m wondering if I’ve done something wrong by always intervening when something is about to go south. Do I need to stop and just let bad things happen? What should I do?

EDIT: I’ve decided to talk to him tonight since we have a session tonight. I’m gonna see if we can work something out or what needs to happen because besides this event. This campaign has been really fun

In order to become the largest locomotive builder in the Federation, Bellwin Locomotive Works created the Boilerfolk to work in their factories. These steam-powered automatons could work longer and harder than ordinary workers, but still required fuel and water. Later, they were also manufactured by other companies and adapted for use in other industries and trades. Now they can be found throughout the Federation and Frontier towns.

Warriors of the Rodeo use ropes to control both animals and enemies. These Monks are natural wranglers, and their deft use of whips and lassos lets them move their foes exactly where they want them, or tie them down.

Hi all. I am sure this topic has been brought up a ton, but I couldn’t find a recent post and I’m pretty new to Reddit in general. Anyway, I play in a small group: five players and a DM. The DM runs the campaign through roll20, and four of us roll through the platform; it creates terrific transparency, and we can’t all play in person all the time, so we all get to see the rolls even when we aren’t together. I’m sure you can see where this is going: one of our group rolls on her phone, and verbalizes her results. She is playing on roll20 with us, but she doesn’t use a digital sheet or rolls we can see. Over the last year, we’ve all noticed her luck (let’s call it that) has been improbably good. It’s 20s all the time. It’s gotten to the point where legitimate criticals have totally lost their luster… she’s just destroying everything all the time. The rest of us are basically utility roles. I’ve talked with the DM who says if this is brought up to the player, she will probably quit. She’s an awesome person and a terrific role player, so I guess we’ve silently agreed that we’d rather she be there than not. I know, sounds like a decision has been made and the point is now moot, but I’m interested in hearing how this has been handled with others. Because I know frustration will boil up again down the road, and I would love to handle this in a positive way. Any advice? Thanks in advance.
