My Bard will find out two comrades died and will likely be performing at the funeral. I’m both nervous and excited /u/UsualMorning98 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

So we had a situation where two characters died in one battle. A beloved NPC and a player character. They died at one end of the map, away from the five other player characters. Only other important NPCs saw them die. Even the DM felt bad after the session.

The rest of the party are gonna find out next session and I’m trying to figure out my Bard’s thought process. There are multiple factors to consider.

  • She almost went in the direction where they died
  • The last thing she said to the dead PC was something she regrets saying/doing
  • She writes songs for all the PCs in the game and plays their song at their funeral if they die
  • The party is about to meet the Princess of the kingdom they’re helping reclaim from the BBEG.
  • My Bard’s parents are nobility in the kingdom they’re reclaiming, so said Princess might know her (she’s nervous about this since the rest of the party don’t know about her nobility).
  • My Bard is an almost suicidal alcoholic.
  • My Bard writes music to tell stories and ensure her allies are never forgotten.

On the one hand, I’m so excited to process all this in character and have a ton of ideas in mind. On the others, there’s so many factors to consider that will clash. I won’t be prepared for everything. But I want to be.

I hate character deaths, but find it fascinating how they can affect a character.

How would a tribe of barbarian dragonborns work? /u/Heitorsla DnD: Roll for Initiative!

How would a tribe of barbarian dragonborns work? /u/Heitorsla DnD: Roll for Initiative!

I’ve been wanting to create a dragonborn barbarian, but I’m wondering in what other ways you can reimagine a tribal society for this race. What might their social organization be like, different places they might inhabit, different customs and practices, etc. How would you imagine a tribe for this race?

Boulder Dash – A DnD Tavern Game [OC] /u/WeaselBandit DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Boulder Dash – A DnD Tavern Game [OC] /u/WeaselBandit DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Hi everyone.

I’ve been working on a fun little project called Boulder Dash—a quick, token-based gambling game for my DnD sessions. I created it for an upcoming gambler NPC in my Mists of Eldoria campaign, but it’s turned into something I think my players are going to enjoy at other times during the campaign as well. It’s simple, fast-paced, and mixes luck with strategy to keep things interesting.

You can download it for free, both the rules and printable tokens, on my Patreon. I share all my projects—props, tools, and campaign ideas, on my Patreon for free. You don’t have to pledge or sign up. Everything is freely available for everyone. (Although if you want to get notified about my other projects you can always join as a free member)

Feel free to check it out and let me know how Boulder Dash works at your table!

Is low damage normal for wild Magic sorcerer? /u/Savings_Ad310 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Is low damage normal for wild Magic sorcerer? /u/Savings_Ad310 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Title, I love rp but I think I do almost no damage compared to my party (fighter, monk and artificer). I’m a half-elf wild magic sorcerer. We’re at level 6, stats: 12 Str, 14 Dex, 16 Con, 14 Wis, 18 Cha (got real lucky with the dice roll and used my race modifiers to get even numbers)

I’m not very experienced but besides my Fireball I don’t seem to be able to do good damage, especially to single targets. Am I doing something wrong? It’s not a problem because I don’t even like combat, but any tips would come in handy

Merry christmas! [art] /u/SpookShook DnD: Roll for Initiative!

For a quick backstory. The hat is magical and controls our wizard mannequin. So the but in the group between my paladin (the women) Althea, and the mannequin named Bjorn is that when he does stupid things we take off the hat and he goes limp. We also implemented that we can use message to speak freely to the person wearing him as a hat. Bjorn can also take over any unconscious humanoid figure even such as statues. His hat shifts in sizes to fit the head of whatever or whoever he is using.
