"Let's just end here" Face of DM priceless, it is like "what the fuck just happened". I have only one concern: why the hell didn't they take long rest after ghasts? It was soooo logic 🤔
I just subscribed to the channel BECAUSE you guys actually finish the campaigns !!!! Congratulations!!! You should pickup the adventure with Phandelver and Below. Thank you for actually finishing things. Helps everyone!!! Also, have you thought about making the merge between Phandelver, Ice peak and storm island ? Thank you !!!
Our Dragons of Icespire Peak campaign happens directly after the events of Lost Mine of Phandelver, and all of our Faerun campaigns take place in the same continuity!
Man...watching the only "thievery-y" person run away from the special monster that is weak to thievery checks somehow was painful 😂 Easy to say looking back, but maybe once you allowed the grapple on the blood it could be ruled that it would have 5-10% less hp when they met it again or something.
Having watched some more, it would definitely help you to make use of exploration activities. I see you keep fishing for things "How close are you grtting to the boat to toss the mitflit in? Do you examine this room or just give it a cursory glance?" Its clear you're fishing for then to interact with everything, but if you are using those activities, it already sets the narrative that they are doing that. Also don't forget that creatures should be making rolls against the players DC. For example, Tangletop should have rolled against the players DC to lie. You don't need to wait for players to call for a roll. I feel like this is an old 5e carry over but with the information the players will NEED in this adventure path it's better to play RAW. Because remember, the people who designed this game are the ones who made the adventure and they did so with the expectation that you will run it RAW.
I know you're many sessions ahead now and this was months ago but treat wounds doesn't have a lower DC, it is still 15 in the remaster. Aid doesn't change the DC either, if a player uses aid they have to make the check the player will make, and depending on their success it gives them a circumstance bonus, or penalty if they crit fail. The DC is still 15 though.
I find with pathfinder 2e, with how complicated things can be it’s better to just be straight forward in answers than cryptic. I tend to try to be cryptic because I want there to be mystery but I also find that while that would work in 5e, since this needs specifics I just give them the full info.
Yeah I definitely learned that lesson with this encounter since haunt disable requirements seem to be pretty darn specific. I can also probably afford to offer a little more leeway with that too.
Some rules corrections (which by now you may have realized): People who have negative healing like Jones Bones do not take damage from healing, they just aren't healed by it. Grapple doesn't use your unarmed attack traits, so it would be -0, -5, -10 And 3 action heal does the same amount of healing as the one action heal, the two action heal is the only one that does more. Great session though 👌
Thank you and hope it stays fun! Also 2 things: 1. For the negative healing I believe you’re correct when it comes to something like a healing potion for the no effect instead of damage so thank you for reminding me of that, but at least for the heal spell, it does specify vitality damage if the target is undead which is why we were worried about him getting caught in those 3 action heals. 2. There’s a sidebar on page 234 on player core on athletics actions such as grapple with the attack trait. Where it says “Since these actions use your free hand, you use the traits for your fist attack to determine the multiple attack penalty, so your fist’s agile trait applies. Therefore, you take a -4 penalty if the action is your second attack of the turn, or a -8 if it’s the third.”
Roll20 automatically rolls twice, as if to roll with advantage or disadvantage. If we're doing a straight roll (which is most of the time), we'll just ignore the second number
I cannot stand Jacq as a character, seems like everything this character does is so drawn out and complicated. Nothing against the player, I just do not jive with the character lmao.
Question for either the channel or anyone here running this campaign: Did you start your party at level 1 or level 2? I am going to be running this soon and see lots of people online recommending starting at level 2, as the first encounter, plus the cave can easily kill a level 1 party with a few unfortunate rolls.
We started at level 1, and the cave certainly was a challenge for us. It's all personal preference - starting from level 1 can be easier for new players to grasp and can feel more rewarding, but if you'd rather be safe, level 2 is also a totally viable option. You can always add a low level magical item or shuffle some NPCs around if you're feeling nervous
@@SwindlersDen thanks for the response and advice! I've played tonnes of D&D, just never DM'd, and will be playing with unknowns on Roll20, so will perhaps have to gauge based on how new they are (looking for newer players in general), and maybe slip a health potion or two in, or level 2 if I feel they need it. I'll probably end up playing it safer than necessary due to not wanting added stress of dealing with a TPK on my first DM session
All the commercials. My God. Been watching for an hour and I think it's been like 10 commercial blocks. I don't begrudge anyone from making their money, but holy shit.
hey sorry about that. youtube auto populates ads. I've gone through some episodes and deleted a bunch but we have so many uploads i havent been able to do it for all :(. The weird part is it doesnt do this with every upload just random ones so I never know which ones are overloaded. Thank you for bringing this one to my attention I'll be manually deleting some ads shortly
I love listening to this. There's already so much nostalgia from when I played this module with friends on discord. I played a 7'8 half orc(the other half was Goliath) barbarian named "Ori". She has an owlbear best friend she called "Chunky". They had a very satisfying story, but i do miss playing her. She was very fun to rp as and to do combat with. I can't wait to see how things might play out differently in this campaign.
