The Halfling Bard and The Barbarian Hireling

"Stand in Front of Me"
(sung to the tune of Stand By Me)

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand in front of me

So Hireling, Hireling
Stand in front of me, oh, stand in front of me
Oh, stand, stand in front of me
Stand in front of me

If A vampire should swoop in
Or a skeleton should attack
Or a goblin should swing his short sword
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand in front of me

And Hireling, Hireling
Stand in front of me, oh, stand in front of me
Oh, stand now, stand in front of me
Stand in front of me

Hireling, Hireling
Stand in front of me, oh, stand in front of me
Oh, stand now, stand in front of me
Stand in front of me
Whenever I'm in danger, won't you stand in front of me?
Oh, stand in front of me
Won't you stand now?
Oh, stand, stand in front of me

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...

Pathfinder without Armor Check Penalty: Avoiding Nude PCs

I like Pathfinder without Armor Check Penalty and here's why. From the PRD: Armor Check Penalty : Any armor heavier than leather, as well as any shield, applies an armor check penalty to all Dexterity- and Strength-based skill checks. A character's encumbrance may also incur an armor check penalty. Armor check penalty is a big problem in Pathfinder. It affects a number of critical skills: Acrobatics Climb Disable Device Escape Artist Fly Sleight of Hand Stealth Swim Clearly some of these seem relevantly affected, but what about disable device? I can't move lockpicks because I am wearing armor? That seems odd. If I were to include ACP, which I currently don't foresee, I think I would limit it to affecting only Acrobatics, Escape Artist, Sleight of Hand, and Swim. These seem reasonable... more reasonable than the full list. Unfortunately, my experience with ACP is that is leads to unnecessarily ridiculous scenarios: Hmmm... ...

More Organizing

Besides an occasional game, mostly I've been organizing things in my rare spare time. I got my hooks put up allowing me to hang my gaming bags and travel monitor. Also, I got a pegboard framed and hung over my miniatures table. It's all looking better and better.
