Dungeons And Dragons Campaign [full] [discontinued On The Forums]

Nice. My current WIP list is:

Spoiler: Music and usage, organized by game. Very long.

Spoiler: XCOM

XCOM Enemy Unknown Combat Music 7 (Normal Combat)

New World Order's in-game variant (XCOM 2) (Probably for very important battles that would be punishing upon loss)

The Spark (XCOM 2) (Probably harder battles/bosses)

Bad Robots (XCOM 2) (Probably a mechanical boss or something, considering this is a boss theme)

Living Dead (XCOM 2: War of the Chosen) (Inevitable undead swarms, which is literally what this plays against)

Shadow Domain (XCOM 2: War of the Chosen) (Very Difficult melee boss fight theme. Seriously, the enemy this plays against is as dangerous as the final boss)

Deadeye (XCOM 2: War of the Chosen) (Very Difficult ranged boss theme. This guy is about as deadly as the one above. XCOM doesn't give soldiers death saves, nor resurrection spells)

Warlock (XCOM 2: War of the Chosen) (Probably difficult necromancer boss fights. This guy is easier than the other two in my opinion, but that doesn't mean he's easy. Mind Control is not fun in XCOM, since a soldier getting shot in the back is normally lethal)

Ambush's OST variant (XCOM 2) (Potential final boss theme, since this plays on the very difficult final mission. It's actually two modified existing combat themes plus the in-game version)

Spoiler: Okami

Prepare for Action (Normal combat theme)

Battle of the Spider Queen (Current Level 20 campaign encounter)

Demon Lord Ninetails (Boss Theme)

Battle of Orochi I (Probably a major boss theme. After all, the enemy this plays against is based off a Japanese myth about what is basically Japanese Tiamat (Yamata no Orochi))

Battle of Orochi II (Maybe an endgame boss theme. Take a guess who this plays against)

The Sun Rises (Spyro said the boss had multiple forms, I think. Could be the final form or something)

Yeah, I mostly do Okami and XCOM.

Lute: "Hmmmm..?"

Kyelas: "We're still working on getting a new closet door. She blew off the hinges this time."

 

Speaking of that, what's going on in the Level 20 campaign?

OOC Rizkeld: "Try an arcane lock next time. That's bound to help."

 

Yeah, we decided to listen to a spider drow (and of course I was using my most carefree character, so I couldn't have them question it because feywild). He activated a blossom thing, got killed by the party, and now we're fighting the blossom.

 

Huh. Neat.

Honestly, I don't think Tibalt was too good of a fit for that group, considering what his motivation for adventuring actually was. He would make a cool NPC for the overflow campaign, though.

 

As a DM, always be EXTREMELY careful with NPCs that are significantly more powerful than the PCs. I know I've made quite a few mistakes in that regard...

Just my input.

 

By all means, go for it.

Also, Paradoxical decided to switch characters.

OOC Kyelas: "It won't help once she gets her hands on a wish spell! She's quite close to figuring that out!"

________________________________

But then again, when was he ever a nice DM?

 

Like when? Moradin? Playing a Level 20 Moon Druid does sound interesting, though. Theoretically infinite HP (from infinite Mammoth/elemental forms) is fun, isn't it?

 

A. I was more talking about powerful characters that are friendly to the group. You don't want to overshadow the players' accomplishments.

B. Apparently, high level Moon druids are on Jeremy Crawford's watchlist of things that might need to be nerfed.

 

To who?

OOC Rizkeld: "Antimagic Fields."
OOC Rizkeld: "I know a guy who knows a guy who works for a green dragon who knows a guy who can probably cast one."

I can be, and often am, an exceptionally cruel DM.

________________________________

True. The two main NPCs of some importance who are at least partially on the party's side are a Level 3 Rogue and a Level 4 Druid (no subclass or Wild Shape, but with a tentacle).

 

A slightly-genocidal Oath of Conquest paladin. Long story.

 

Remember that tower I asked you to make? They are going there, but had a tangle with some hags, a drider, and a shambling mound

 

About B: At level 20, there are ways to get around that. Casters with spells like power word: kill, mind-control effects, an army of kobolds with spell scrolls of moonbeam, the like.

________________________________

Sorry about the delay on that. I actually have the map almost done, but am procrastinating more than is entirely healthy.

 

OOC Kyelas: "Well, your verdict, @Florfy5. We're just puppets to your will, after all."
OOC: "He's become self-aware. Oh well, it's not like he can revolt."

 

naturally

 

OOC Rizkeld: "Aarakocra is either CR 1/4 or CR 30. I can't quite tell."

________________________________

and Replicate, Inevitable End, and Rally Strength. Also, vorpal Heavy Crossbows.

 

Not bad, considering CR 0 and CR 1/8 are a thing

 

In the overflow campaign, I'm making a slightly ridiculous enemy. He has 8+ attacks with a Multiattack and a vorpal scythe, so any melee characters will be decapitated in short order.

 

If the Level 20 party ever returns to Bytpoia, they can thank you for this

 

A counter does not a balanced ability make, particularly if it's a counter of otherwise dubious usefulness.

 

OOC Masamune: "He could be a genetic experiment to create an overdrive Aarakocra."
