Does the netting also light moonsprouts herbs that are not in his pipe? What direction is the wind blowing? Could the kobolds get a secondhand high?
Hmm. South-East, 60 foot range cone. Now everyone but Nac has the munchies.

Honestly I think he'd be more worried about losing his stash than being lit on fire.

Oh and if you fucks don't bite on my attempt to distract some of you to go free him I'm gonna feel real bad for putting @Smacktard in that situation. 😭

Well, I half-bit by going after the one responsible I suppose. Which isn't exactly the same as freeing him, but it took every ounce of restraint I had to not cast a different cantrip near that very flammable looking tree :giggle

What would it take for Nac to grab the heads of the two chucklefucks before him and ram them together? :link Would it work with attacks or does it need to be a push/shove check thing?

Hey @Ben where can I find a list of new animals I can Wild Shape into with my new level?

Assuming that carries over the filters, most things on that list should be viable. Of course, you need to have seen a beast before you can turn into it. I'd think, arguably, you've probably seen a number of things from the forest and grasslands.

It doesn't seem to be filtering out the flying things that can also walk, etc. So anything that has a flying movement speed isn't available to you yet.

Crit failing on damage shouldn't do much. Just a whiff. Typically you wouldn't even roll damage till after you know if it's a hit. We just save time.

Crit failing a hit or ability check though...

And you shit your pants because you didn't cook the merrow.

Right, it'll be the nat-1 on the d20 to hit that'll make you critically fail. A 1 on damage is not a fail, just weak.

So you'll have missed, but your wooden legs won't fall off or anything.

But @shortkut, I do note that your character sheet had inspiration on it when you copied it over... I'll allow it, even if you were inspired by another man (@VashTheStampede), and I'll let you reroll one of those to-hit dice.

Alright I think I've finished leveling up. Turns out I did sort of get healed from that, because it added 7 to both my current and max HP on my sheet, which is interesting. Grabbed Hex and went with these two as my invocations for now. Never really looked at warlocks this closely, they get some cool stuff.

@Ben, Since I seem to be able to just spam False Life endlessly with this, would I be able to just always have the max 8 temporary hit points whenever I'm not in combat? And then if I ever needed to re-up in battle I would actually roll the 1d4+4 with my action and take what I roll?

Yeah, fiendish vigor coupled with false life means you can cast it as many times as you want. You still have to roll the 1d4, but you can ultimately cast it again and again until you manage to roll the max of 4, with +4 giving you 8 temp HP.

It'd still take up an action in-combat, so it's more of a pre-combat buffing thing. And you can only have 1 source of temp HP, they don't stack, so if you were to gain temp HP from anything else you'd have to pick which one stays applied.

But essentially yeah, like you said, you can (mostly) keep it up indefinitely.

Warlocks can indeed wear light armor without incurring penalties, so if you had leather armor of some description you can certainly put it on.

The chainmail the kobolds dropped counts as heavy armor, requires a STR of 13+ or else you suffer a 10-foot reduction in movement speed, and it imposes disadvantage on DEX (Stealth) checks. If you're not proficient in heavy armor, you'd incur a disadvantage on all attack rolls and ability checks, as well as the inability to cast spells.

Oh, and Nae is right, leveling up doesn't so much HEAL you as just add extra hit points to the bottom of your current/max pool. So if you had 2/10 HP and gained 7HP from leveling, you'll go up to 9/17. You've still got 8 damage on you so nothing was healed, you're just a bit further from "dying" since you got stronger.

Alright cool. I guess Magni will just be casting it every hour to keep his little health buffer up then. At least until he levels up and gets a thousand new options.

The armor is interesting, but I'll probably just stick with the light armor for now. I thought about equipping his shield if he is ever in a dangerous situation, but unless I get a feat that'll let him be proficient in it, it's probably not worth either.

Shoot... I loved the power metal version, then you hit the electric pop and the Carl part sounded so sad!

I had a tear man... I had a tear.
They're surprisingly good. @dimmerwit is a bastard for unlocking this new "oh what else can I make" in me.


Though I did tell this one to be rap and it's still more metal. 🤷‍♂️

Yo, how about this. If you want a song about your character sooner than me just getting to it when I do, write me up a summary of everything that's happened to you that you'd want featured in it. Doesn't have to be too elaborate, just the highlights. I can probably use that to make some lyrics and then throw it into the song-maker.

It's definitely metal lol.

I'll be patient because it'll be worth the wait! And certainly not because my memory is terribly and I don't remember much off hand and am too lazy to look it up and recall.

Here are some "not overly specific to the story" ones for you.

I don't actually know what all your preferred genre are, so... You get what seemed fitting.
