The last campaign that I ran was intended to be a fairly short and straightforward game, just to get my hand back into things after a few years away from running. Instead, we got a three-and-a-half-year saga that, without originally intending to, hit every major beat of the monomyth--including the descent into the underworld--usually as a direct result of their actions, rather than any input on my part.

One of the NPCs in the final leg of the campaign, having come from a culture that prizes stories, excitedly referred to herself as a "donor" and insisted on sourcing them their final set of magical items so that she could be part of the narrative.

Got gifted this today. What do I need to make this work? I've never played D&D and I'll probably be playing alone.

>>96665347
Four other people, to start with

You may want to get some pencils and dice, get some photocopies of the character sheet (assuming they don't have editable sheets on their website) and a set of dice. I haven't seen cheap sets of dice lately, the newbie boom has driven up fancy dice prices by way too much.

Get some people interested in the material, bring them over, and I'm sorry to say this but by default you are going to be the DM.

My group met to make characters yesterday, and our DM had use roll 3d6 six times for stats. I got one 16 (which I increased to 18 with the racial bonus) but that's my only stat above a zero modifier. I also have a 9 and an 8.

My friend rolled three 18s in a row with the same dice I used (and we all watches rolls, there was no shenanigans)
I'm playing a Shadow Monk with 10 WIS. So I'm probably going to suck but maybe the bad stats will add to the fun.

>>96664792
That's such a lovely story that I choose instead to believe you're lying

>>96665462
>Four other people, to start with
>I'll probably be playing alone.
Anon I can't help but think you're not really applying yourself to the problem at hand

>>96665464
Try asking your DM for a full re-roll. And if it's 3d6 in order then wait for your abilities before you pick a class and a race.

>>96665478
You fundamentally can't play D&D by yourself, unless you're like a schitzo role playing the party members as well as the NPCs.
Not to sound like a blue-hair, but it's a collaborative, social game.

>>96665488
He said no to the re-roll, and we didn't do them in order thankfully, we could assign wherever.

>>96665478
You need other people. You can't play d&d alone. You would just be writing a story.

There are technically ways to play without a DM but you'd just be rolling around a randomly generated dungeon, it would be the worst rogue like ever.

>>96665501
Go with a caster then

>>96665517
I was thinking about switching to an Inquisitive Rogue, but I only have 10 intelligence so it's kind of the same problem.

>>96665347

There's a significant overlap

>>96665544
Play a Draconic Sorcerer, take the Tough origin feat. The extra HP will majorly help you survive with your shit CON, you'd be close to a d10 hit die class at that point. If you ever get to improve your DEX, it's unarmored feature will also help you out. And Innate Sorcery will cover you offensively and with your save DCs.

Monk is passable but that poor WIS with fuck your AC and saves.

>>96666138
>Tough origin feat
He has the 2014 book so we're not doing origin feats. But maybe I could talk him into it.

>>96666169
You could angle for variant human

>>96665347
>>96665578
Read the book cover to cover and once you understand how it works you should get ahold of the wargamer and get them to help you put together a group to play the game

What's in the book, anyway? Any.new subclasses? Or is it a ground-up rebuild?

Have you or your party ever obtained an artifact in any game?
I played a barbarian and took the hand of Vecna from Arkhan during our party's brief foray into a heavily-modified Avernus module, but my character died before I could convince the DM to let me get the eye too.

Your safest bet is a Cleric with Heavy armor. Probably a Dwarf so you don't get slowed down.
Anything else you're just going to be weighing down too much.

Random rolls run the risk of not enabling you to play the class you want. That's just the way it is.

If you played a 2024 Champion Fighter like that you could start with the Tough feat, then max your STR or DEX, then max your CON...Rationally speaking by level 14 I think you'd have to start grabbing a non ASI feat unless you plan on boosting your mental stats.

I did for my first run on BG3, except I was DEX based dual wielding and using a bow.

The game gives a lot of magic arrows so it was not as boring as it could have been. I would want more to use in a DnD campaign.

>>96666878
Is the psion tuned to burn its own HP a lot?

>>96666661
You could probably give them an Origin feat as long as you required it to be a specific one.
Like give them the bonus social skill, and then let them take Magic Initiate for free, to represent a mix of inherited magic, but human versatility in picking what cantrips/spell they get.
That on top of Fey Ancestry and Darkvision is probably fine.

Arguably better than Human if you were already planning on taking those particular feats and skills, but you miss out on free Heroic Inspiration, so that's something.

>>96667065
Maybe your choice from like three origin feats. Magic initiate is a good one though

>>96666902
Resilient is a nice middle ground. Eat the Monk's lunch and get +25 to all or at least most saves (when rerolling with Indomitable).

>>96666913
crit fishing with a spell attack roll has got to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard of, and the fact that you think this is a good idea in proof that you should be removed from the gene pool by any means necessary

>>96667192
Resilient isn't repeatable, but it is a good option. You could add Skill Expert to the list.
>>96667179
How about Magic Initiate, Skilled, or Lucky.

Lucky works as a soft version of the Human's Resourceful trait.

>>96667404
Who said it was a good idea? Unless you've got a buddy doing the Summon Undead + Poisoned thing or getting lucky with a Hold Person or Hold Monster or Eyebite situation (all of which aren't consistent by any means)- you don't wanna bank on that.
It's just a neat observation that the spell could hypothetically deal like 38d10 using a 9th level slot and 9 Hit Dice.

True. Could be between Magic Initiate, Skilled and one other. I'd say Alert would be flavorful but it's also a generically strong choice. Crafter maybe?

New psion Unearthed Arcana:

https://media.dndbeyond.com/compendium-images/ua/psion-update/kZh2hf4yC7KS45wW/UA2025-Psion+Update.pdf

Life Siphon seems horrifically bad for a level 1 spell. Ranged spell attack out to 120 feet, deals 1d10 psychic damage per spell level, can spend a number of Hit Dice up to the spell level to deal that much in d10s of extra psychic damage.

>>96667928
It does seem really terrible. Spending Hit Die for non-healing effects does seem like a decent way to try and distinguish the Psion from other spellcasters, but the effect just feels completely mis-matched there.
Even spending the Hit Die that just ends up being a worse Chromatic Orb most of the time.

>>96667928
Just crit and expend most of your hit dice and it's good single-target damage, as least equivalent to hitting two creatures with an AOE blasting spell.
>L1 crit: 4d10, average 22, compare Burning Hands (3d6, average 10.5)
>L3 crit: 12d10, average 66, compare Fireball (8d6, average 28)
Sure there's guaranteed damage with save for half and Burning Hands is bad and without spending hit dice it only outpaces EB/Firebolt by spending your higher-level slots and

>>96668115
>Just crit

Yea, that means it's shit.

>>96667928
Does Telepathic Connection seem underpowered to anyone? Both it and the Telepath version have such incredibly short ranges, you could even spend an energy die and end up with 10 feet of thought sharing.

I think it would be better boost the range across the board and instead of spending die to extend the range more, you spend a die to add one more person to your thought channel. That's how I would house rule it.

>>96668669
It's 30 feet by default, so if you spend energy it's a minimum of 40, max 70. And as long as the DM rules that a Telepath Psion can spend the die on it, you could bump the 60 the subclass gives you at level 6 to a 70-100 range.
The main benefit I see here compared to other easy sources is that this Telepathy is the broader version, so it doesn't care about sharing a language. But I'm not sure there's many scenarios where you're really going to be hurting for an extra 20 feet of telepathy distance. And if you were, Aberrant Sorcerer gets a mile-wide boost for 3+ minutes, so getting a 40 foot boost for 1 hour feels really paltry.

There's still an advantage in being able to use it for translation, but if that's the intent, then what they should do is ditch the range bonus, and instead fold in the Devilish Tongue psionic discipline option, where if you're using the Telepathy to try and talk to some one, you can spend energy to boost the roll. Better to make it better at the unique aspect it has compared to other early telepathy options, rather than trying to copy the others badly.

Can a player who had Seeming cast on them willingly "drop" it on their own accord or does the caster need to?

>>96669493

How do you hide something from a God?

>>96676391
depends, in basic vanilla lore not all gods are omniscient, so it's up to the setting

>>96676391
Sometimes a god tries to ignore things. Work in that space.

>>96676391
Who said gods are omniscient?

Even if they are, so often is the audience in a movie, do you notice everything? Do you even notice everything on your second watch?

>>96666878
holy "AI generated spells and we laid off everybody who knows enough to tell it no"

>>96676391
D&D has a polytheistic setting, so at a minimum a god of trickery would be able to hide something from other gods. Hiding out in the temple of such a god might be enough to do the trick.
It's basically up to the DM for how powerful gods are though, and if a god is actively searching for something to that extent, then it's more of a question of 'how long' can it be hidden for.

>>96675458
Google it. People have made maps for every WoTC adventure. Where Wankers of the Coast fail the community picks up the slack.

>>96675458
the implication is that the PCs are too busy making dick jokes and sucking those of the local baristas that it doesn't matter where anything actually is specifically.

>>96675601
It's not like a torch light, but it's rare to hear something being called spectral that isn't at least a little emissive.

Less a glow glow, more a bright and standing out, like a safety vest.

Fine for a one shot if you have enough time, especially if It's to weed out undesirables, but if they're all good then you end up with too many for a real campaign.
>and for those that want to keep playing, am I okay to start Mines at level 2 instead of 1?

Start them at level 1 with their subclasses and have someone tell them an inspiring tale for 15 extra temp hit points so they survive first level.

Level 2 start is fine I guess but weird. Are you doing the updated lMoP with the obelisk?

honestly i understand the appeal of simple classic stuff but skimming through the 5.5 version of this, it's so... bland? just a bunch of dungeons with monsters like im playing diablo 2
>inb4 some autist THATS WHAT THE GAME IS ABOUT
that's what the game was about and it evolved into a higher form where interesting scenarios and dilemmas other than kill everything can happen
I mean even if you restrict everything to combat, there are far more interesting combat scenarios that just clearing caves that all look the same

idk maybe it has something clever or interesting I missed

funnily enough, my first notes for the campaign is a page for figuring out how the fuck i handle stealth

i hadn't realized incapacitated doesn't include 0 speed, thanks

as for races, i think i'll go with 2024's background ASIs instead of races. i'll just have to tinker the book's extra races a bit

I said level 2 start only because I had the idea that they'd want to continue using the same characters, if enough people want to start fresh I'd just run it from level 1. I'd be running the base Mines, since that's what came with the 5e starter set I was gifted a while back. I'm going to be running with 5.5e rules for the most part, and I figure I can try to make something up myself if we get through the entire module.

I figured as much, but wanted to be prepared just in case. If they're all serious about wanting to continue I can maybe finagle a second table with another friend so we'd have 4 and 4.

I guarantee you 100% if you start a new campaign with 6 players who are new, 2 and maybe 3 will drop out by the time it settles. This is 100% certain. People say they want to play DnD until they try it. It's just how it is.

Is this the thread to talk about d&d lore or just 5e mechanics

Both are permitted

Go for it, it's probably the best place for it without some sort of dedicated thread

Is the Wall of Faithless still canon? soft retconned?
What's up with the Shadowfell, is it Shar's domain or the Raven Queen's?
Are Shar and Selune like another "tier" of goddesses, since they are primordial, or does that not make sense? Do they even need followers to be empowered?
What happens to a cleric sent to another plane? Can their god still reach them and help them?
There's arcane and divine magic, but what the fuck are psionics?

>Is the Wall of Faithless still canon? soft retconned?
Soft-retconned. Original printings of the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide mentioned it, but errata removed the mention. Of course, SCAG itself is rather ambiguous with whether or not it's considered a "real" book these days. In BG3, Jergal states that faithless souls are simply left to wander the Fugue Plane eternally.

Our current party is full of people going through the motions of being an Adventuring group. Only my character was trying to become an Adventurer, everyone else was forced into it because otherwise another Adventuring Group is gonna kill us for being witnesses to their crimes
We're becoming increasingly more powerful by the day, being able to casually one-tap most enemy groups and reap the reward of successful adventures and none of us care for our own increasing power because everyone was originally doing something else at the time and wants to go back to doing that instead

Referenced in the Sword Coast Adventure Guide on page 20, just a minor blurb about the afterlife but nothing directly

>What's up with the Shadowfell, is it Shar's domain or the Raven Queen's?
"[The Shadowfell] existed as sort of a counterpart to the Feywild, in the sense that it was a reflection, or "echo", of the Prime Material Plane. Unlike the Feywild, it was a bleak, desolate place full of decay and death"

"Only three deities were known to have claimed the Plane of Shadow as their home:"

"Mask, the Master of all Thieves and Lord of Shadows had a realm on this plane called Shadow Keep."
"Shar, Mistress of the Night and Lady of Loss, once resided in a high tower called the Palace of Loss"
"Null, draconic god of death, had realms named the Mausoleum of Chronepsis and the Mausoleum of Pain "
"In remote corners of the Shadowfell there were demiplanes created by the Dark Powers which served as prisons to trap creatures of extreme evil to serve as sustenance.
One such demiplane was the valley of Barovia, ruled by the vampire Strahd von Zarovich, himself a prisoner of the Dark Powers"
"The Raven Queen had a divine realm known as the Fortress of Memories here."

The Shadowfell is a very large space with enough room for multiple gods to set up shop. Think of gods less like they rule an entire realm or plane of existence, but are able to carve out spaces

>Are Shar and Selune like another "tier" of goddesses? Do they even need followers?
no and yes

>What happens to a cleric sent to another plane? Can their god still reach them and help them?
depends on the world they go to. Like in Barovia or Sigil they have restricted spell access, but generally Gods can grant powers in many different areas

>what the fuck are psionics?
psionics did not draw power from the Weave. Instead, a psionic creature was itself its own Weave.

I would use this set to introduce kids to the game; the maps and tokens are of decent quality and are big and easy to read/understand.
For anyone older/more experienced, you'd have to do a lot of adding your own stuff to make them interesting, and combine with other material (homebrew or otherwise).
