  • Well, it is currently just after 7pm. My FIL passed this am. We were expecting it sooner than later. We took him in our house after his last hospitalization 3+ weeks ago. He made the decision it was time and to go on hospice. Been fighting a terminal illness for years.

    I am thankful we made that decision instead of sending him to a facility. We made him as comfortable as possible and he had support and visits from loved one during this transition.

    The last few weeks have been rough on my husband and I, but we did the best we could and I am happy we were able to provide him with the love and care he needed in his past weeks. We are both quite exhausted and have a few more things to tie up.

    I am thankful we were able to provide him with the comfort, love, and care he needed. He is at peace and our hearts are filled with peace and love.

    Had a few drinks this evening and am trailing off. Happy for the Lemmy/Fediverse community to share with, even though we are all anonymous strangers. Thanks for the ongoing support of the lemmy devs, instance hosts, communities, and users for providing a wonderful place to share and connect with others.

    Be safe and be blessed my random internet friends.




  • I find myself looking for different builds specifically for multiclassing ideas and end up on the other site. Also would be cool to have a pinned link to good reference sites that helps with builds, showing potential options for each levels of a class with skills/spells available, maybe a site with all that plus a character builder. I am a beginner-amateur DnD player at best but I love the idea of using creative builds to extend the diversity of party member applications.

    I have limited experience with ranger. I have had episodes where non-companion NPCs are afraid of my familiar and/or summoned companion and run away from them or make comments like “go away”. I have not had an animal companion instantly aggro my ranger Tav or anyone else. Definitely sounds like a bug.

    I haven’t picked up that game in a bit, but will now be trying it out for science.




  • I like to separate my bars into Action vs Bonus Action as well as separate spells based on their spell level so I can keep better track of what I have, what is left, what actions are available.

    I also collect pouches and backpacks to place objects in. My first pouch is healing and helpful potions. My second pouch is throwables, dipping materials, and arrows (anything to harm someone in combat). My third pouch is for scrolls on the characters that carry/use scrolls. I also put my shovel and anything else I want to have on me but want to accidentally sell it within a pouch. I then place the pouches on my hotbar on the far right instead of the individual objects (except for shovel). So during combat I know if I need to take a potion, it’s in the top bag, harmful items in the middle bag and scrolls in the bottom bag.

    I have my bars extended to 3 vertical slots.

    Re: skills and spells not falling off, I unfortunately do not have a solution.




  • Here’s the spoiler:

    spoiler

    ___ I was a level 4 Dark Urge Oathbreaker Paladin. I broke my oath before the first rest and the Oathbreaker Knight came to our camp. I spoke with him and agreed to be an Oathbreaker. Next day, we visit the Druid Camp where I spoke with, and played a song with the tiefling, Alfira. I won my rolls and she gave me the lute.

    I continue on my adventure and head to the place where Withers lives, clearing out that area, and after a few fights realize I need to long rest. We set up camp there and to my surprise Alfira comes to talk with me wanting to join us. I agree to this and finally hit the bedroll.

    My character wakes up in the middle of the night to a violently dead Alfira and blood all over me. Clearly my dark urge did something that I couldn’t control. I cleaned everything up and went back to sleep.

    Upon awakening my party sees the horror of the bloody tiefling corpse and I told them I didn’t know what happened but think it could have been me, hoping for some sort of understanding from my party members. While they were startled but willing to work with me to help figure out what is wrong with me, the Oathbreaker Knight wasn’t having any of it and immediately puts us in combat with him.

    He is a level 12 Paladin with all 3 auras of each subclass of paladin on him with about 230 hitpoints. Now there’s no way my party can kill him. I can’t even hit him. So my options are 1) go back to a much earlier save and have another character try to interact with Alfira or just ignore her completely 2) respec my whole character, making it another class or 3) reroll from the begining and don’t choose the Dark Urge character.

    I am in a co-op game and thinking the Dark Urge is likely to give us further problems down the road and I was looking forward to this character being a Bardadin for reasons, hence my interaction with Alfira in the first place. We ultimately chose to reroll the same classes, leaving the Dark Urge out for a solo run later down the line, as we had been planning this campaign for a bit and don’t want to encounter further surprises that might stop us in our tracks like this one.





  • I’ve been using a druid of the Moon. I like the versatility. Cast buff or debuff spells, roll into wildshape, smack stuff around, unshape, cast again. I love talking to animals and finding out things I may not have known. Too far to jump? No problem -> spider form. Want to scout ahead? No problem -> cat form. So many fun things to try out with the various forms. I have been out of town for a few days and have not gotten to play much but watched a video last night of all the druid wildshapes to come in higher levels and I am STOKED!!!

    Meanwhile, my husband has been playing a bard, another versatile character and he seems to really be enjoying it.

    What are you playing?
