Friday Night Pathfinder: Northward to Daggerford

The Shadowrunner, having escaped the army attacking Candlekeep, headed north towards Baldur's gate and then onward past Dragonspear Castle to Daggerford.  A stop in Baldur's Gate got them stocked up for the journey.  Along the way they had some interesting adventures.

They met Bimley, lead human in a caravan of 3 caravan wagons packed with potion bottles.  He haggled with them for quite a while, trying to coax them into buy various vintages of potions... invisibility potions, barkskin potions (which the crew bought 10 of), and potions of gnomish contraptions.  The rogue, of course, attempted to talk the seller into trying an invisibility potion, but Bimley was too keen for such an obvious breach of seller's etiquette.  Instead he called forth a tall lanky elf from his crew name who attested, "It makes you turn invisible."

The also happened across a wagon of stone headed for Baldur's Gate for routine repairs.

Traveling along the road they also happened upon 4 crystalline cubes.  The party routed around them, but Ally, the gnome, just couldn't leave them alone, After firing an arrow at them, and checking them out, Zirul got talked into touching one with his lance and then his finger.  Upon the touch of skin, the cube 'popped' and there was a naked male gnome that didn't seem to know anything, even his own name!  Ally quickly poked the other 3 cubes, releasing an additional male and two female gnomes, all with similar memory problems.  The crew gave them clothing and bought them along on their horses.

The party distances themselves from the cubes as Zirul approaches the cube to touch it.


One of the gnomes fell off of Zirul's horse, cutting herself.  Zirul watched in amazement as her cut instantly healed.  Felix saw it too and asked Zirul for money to keep quiet about it.  Later the gnome behind Zirul started chanting.  The party stopped as the gnome refused to respond and continued chanting in an unknown language.  River jumped from her horse and barely kept one of the gnomes from stealing it.  Soon all the gnomes were chanting and their eyes turned glowing read.  Then with a pop, they disappeared.

Daggerford greeted them with a general lack of wanted posters.  Felix drank wine outside the tavern until he passed out on the tiger, while Yuri, the winter wolf, kept watch over the horses.  Corrail was away hunting for food, when a stranger grabbed Ally up and stuffed her in a bag.  Zirul and River pursued, with River getting a hand on the stranger before he got out of the tavern.  The kidnapper was able to steal a horse and get underway, with a tiger, winter wolf, and horse carrying River and Zirul, in pursuit.  The group of them knocked him from the horse, and surrounded him, beating him senseless until he gave up and the gnome was released.

Interrogations were left for next week, as the GM became ill and decided to call the game a half an hour early.  Next week the party hopes to finish their trip to Secomber which will take another 4 days.

5E Starting Gold and Equipment for Higher Levels

The DMG has a rough recommendation for starting gold and equipment for higher levels, but with my groups running one-shots, we wanted to nail it down to level by level. Here's my DMG-inspired table. Generally I allow equipment to be traded in during character creation for half book value, where applicable. I also, as a GM, offer to make custom magic items for players who can't choose. A list of magical items by rarity can be found here  with stats available in the DMG. I also generally allow players to buy healing potions (2d4+2) for 50gp and greater healing potions for 250gp (4d4+4). PHB items are available at book cost at creation. I do not allow other equipment to be purchased except in game. This is generally based off the "high magic" campaign. Level Starting Gold Starting Equipment / Magic Items 1 - 160gp  OR Standard starting equipment 2 210gp Standard starting equipment 3 285gp Standard starting equipment 4 365gp Standard sta...

Rules for Flying Creatures in 5E

I'm not one for just throwing my players willy-nilly into something new without an idea of how it would work.  Flying races are on the horizon for one of my games, so here are my clarifications for flying creatures: A flying creatures requires a minimum space of at least 3 times their height in all directions in order to flight. For example, a 6 ft tall flying creature requires a room to be at least 18 ft in all dimensions before they can fly in it. A flying creature can attempt to grapple a creature.  If the the target or grappler are flying, grapple attempts are at disadvantage. If neither are flying, grapples are per RAW.  The state of flying or walking is determined by the last square you have moved.  To change between walking and/or flying, you must use at least 1 space of movement.  Movement rules per RAW apply (PHB pg 190 "Using Different Speeds") A successful grapple check by a flying creature can allow the flying creature to potentially carry th...

Exploiting Weakness in D&D 5e: A Guide for the Evil Plotting GM

I wrote a similar article to this on Pathfinder, and though this is a pretty evil topic, it has been of use to a lot of folks out there.  So, now, I think, is the time to start a similar article for D&D 5e.  This will be a living document to be updated with suggestions and more information as I find better methods. In general, 5e is a lot more challenging for a GM, because the classes are reasonably balanced and because the game mechanics don't have a lot of scale over the 20 levels. Here's a general list of things to increase the difficulty for the party: Increase the number of foes and the CR (ignore the book CR system if it isn't offering a challenge) Spells against the PCs low saves.  A high level sleep spell, for example, could take out a party with no elves. Drag out the opportunity for the long rest.  After 2 short rests, the 3rd battle of the day is tough. Hit the most vulnerable PC first. It almost always forces another teammate to take an acti...
