Q: How can I handle a PC wanting to be a "twist" villain?

My group has been following a premade campaign that has a decentralized plot structure that relies mainly on adventurers "finding their own adventure". This means that while the campaign provides ample worldbuilding information and premade side-quests, the campaign has no clearly defined antagoni...

Bardic Wizard

@HotRPGQuestions it’s not a good thing.

BESW

I've absolutely done it well and badly.

The key, of course, is getting everybody in on it at the start. Having the other players get surprised by the twist is a recipe for discontent and mistrust.

Bardic Wizard

3:26 AM

Yeah. Agreed, but given that it wasn’t discussed before if happened, the answer is probably “it’s not gonna work if you want to keep your friends”

BESW

Aye.

Also it tends to work less well in systems which expect mechanical interdependence like the tank/healer/dps trifecta.

Bardic Wizard

in this campaign I run through the library, there’s some borderline PvP but it’s only stayed friendly since we have a strict rule saying that PvP only happens with everyone’s agreement, and only non-lethally and in a way that doesn’t harm any relationships IC or OOC

BESW

Ripping out one of the interdependent roles mid-game only works if you're really careful about how you orchestrate your encounters going forward, and even then it's.... emotionally tricky?

Those are good guidelines.

MikeQ

I dunno if my answer's any good and it's definitely open for edits. This is one of those circumstances where I see someone potentially repeating one of my own GM pitfalls, and so my internal monologue shrieks incoherently and I need to translate that into a legible argument.

Bardic Wizard

@BESW it took like a dozen revisions to get everyone happy with them. I personally wrote most of it but only because I’m a) the GM and b) the person at the table most hurt by the last incident involving PvP

So I was revisiting some of my old q's & a's, and I was wondering about how our position on Sage Advice has affected Sage Advice as a reference.

Is that something I can ask about on meta?

BESW

Sounds reasonable to ask.

Ben

Ok, I wasn't sure cos it's not exactly about rpg.se, just the effect that rpg.se has had on another site

Can't hurt to ask on meta but I'm not sure how it'll be received?

1:37 PM

@NautArch I think I answered Ben's question?

NautArch

@Ben If this is your question, I really don't get it. I mean, I'm sure we generated lots of traffic/ad revenue for those who used it and didn't have a user come in and change the link to direct to twitter, but if you're asking about use of the reference after WoTC said it's not official, that's another question.

@ThomasMarkov I don't think it's clear what the question is (see above.)

And since WoTC has explicitly stated those tweets aren't official, I just don't see a standalone tweet as a supported answer per your last paragraph.

Thomas Markov

Yeah, after reading the discussion Im less sure what the question is.

I was actually thinking about this yesterday, "Does an answer that only cites a JC tweet meet our minimum expectations for a supported answer?"

Maybe thats a good question for meta.

what do you think @NautArch?

I also feel like the answer I wrote for Ben is my answer to that question.

NautArch

@ThomasMarkov that may have been the intent of Ben :)

But i also don't know if it's really necessary. I mean, we have official statement that the tweets aren't official, so that meta seems...obvious?

But things that seem obvious aren't necessarily so.

Thomas Markov

MY question would be more concerned with how policy interacts with tweet-only answers.

We delete unsupported answers as a matter of policy.

NautArch

I'd be very careful wielding the term 'policy' 'round these parts.

Thomas Markov

> There's no hierarchy or preference of sources, it's all hashed out informally and interpersonally by the various game communities on the site

-doppelgreener

NautArch

Heck, though. I think you could make a more general meta about the use of unofficial sourcing.

Thomas Markov

From a comment on here: rpg.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/8696/…

NautArch

@ThomasMarkov Is that in reference to unofficial sources or just official sources? My feeling is that it's related to official, but I may be influencing my own thoughts.

Thomas Markov

@NautArch it was in response to this comment:

> For Objective Answers, is there a hierarchy or preference of sources? If, for example, a developer tweet is later adopted into printed errata, are both sources of equal value/quality as citations? If there is, this answer could benefit from that clarification.

This is from the answer on that meta:

> If you are suggesting a developer said something in a tweet, link and quote the tweet. If you're citing mathematics, it's best to reproduce your work or cite your sources. If you suggest that something in the game is intended to work or be interpreted in a certain way, cite where a developer or design document said that. Use a citation style of your preference.

NautArch

Ah. But that was from a different time when developer tweets by WoTC were official. Or other potential official sourcing?

I agree in general that a tweet can be used as support (if someone wants), but should never be a stand alone answer.

Thomas Markov

1:50 PM

When did tweets become unofficial?

The bit about developer statements was added to the answer on January 4, 2019

BESW

@ThomasMarkov When they went from 140 to 280.

@BESW I think that's a whoosh for me.

Q: With the 2019 Sage Advice Compendium release, are Jeremy Crawford's tweets considered to be "official rulings"?

The 2019 Sage Advice Compendium has been released. Previously, the SAC has indicated that Jeremy Crawford's tweets were considered to be official rulings. Is this still true?

dnd-5e wizards-of-the-coast sage-advice

BESW

@ThomasMarkov Almost exactly three years ago, Twitter doubled the number of characters allowed in a tweet. It was very controversial at the time.

NautArch

not sure when that SA was actually released, but probably not January 4 of that year?

i dunno

AncientSwordRage

1:52 PM

@BESW I'm guessing it was just a coincident though

Thomas Markov

@NautArch Seems like it was right around the time this answer came up.

The Kanuary 2019 Edition of the SAC made the tweets unofficial.

Someone_Evil

It's still a relevant source for many points, just not authoritative (to most). Part of the problem (which my pro-forma comment) is that the .eu website masks tweets as Sage Advice (taken as being official/authoritative). It's not wrong to link and refer to the tweets, but it should be clear what it is your linking and referring to, and that site obscures that

NautArch

@Someone_Evil Very true, and it's also a potential link rot situation (much moreso than direct to twitter.)

But with conflicting tweets about some things, it very much reduces their usefulness.

And that doesn't even start with how to handle conflicting tweets from the various designers.

Thomas Markov

@ThomasMarkov Yeah, this sums it up for me: "An answer that contains only a tweet without any other kind of discussion or support is (and always has been) generally a poor one."

If the designers were more in-line with themselve and the other designers, I'd be more open to their tweets.

But that's really a purely me thing. I don't downvote answers with tweets, and i focus much more on the experience or rules being cited.

NautArch

I'm not sure if it's in the rules, but I'd say their truesight remains (they are seeing through that creature), and it's 120' from the creature.

Thomas Markov

That's probably how I would have ruled it on the fly.

RevenantBacon

3:58 PM

@NautArch In the instance of this specific monster, I agree, especially since it seems thematically appropriate because of how its Eye Thief interacts with its Eye Ray.

@RevenantBacon completely. Super cool mechanic!

NautArch

4:27 PM

But apparently Darth does not agree with us, and their no support answer is getting upvotes. oh well.

MikeQ

It always has truesight active because it can see through the DM's eyes, assuming the DM is within 120 ft of the table.

RevenantBacon

Well, they are technically correct. Besides, it also makes sense that you would use the senses of the creature you are viewing through

@MikeQ This is also correct :p

But I still think that Belashyarra getting to use its True Sight is more thematically appropriate, and it's not spelled out that it can't so...

MikeQ

Gimmick enemy idea: A spellcasting monster that only perceives using other creatures' senses. It can be defeated easily if everyone nearby closes their eyes.

NautArch

@RevenantBacon well, i'm not saying they're incorrect. just saying that they haven't actually supported their view beyond "i think"

Now the trick is how to narrate the mechanic so the players can, do, and get satisfaction for figuring it out.

@GcL Readied actions for when the PCs see things?

MikeQ

@GcL Dunno how to do that in combat. Often I like to telegraph these things by leaving environmental hints, or journals from previous adventurers.

GcL

I don't think I'm going to go combat with this particular idea theft.

MikeQ

Maybe the creature physically doesn't have its own eyes or ears, and the DM can describe that, so the players may be curious about how it sees.

Mark Wells

It's tricky to communicate because most possible hints will suggest a basilisk.

Legends about it being defeated by a blind hero, warnings to cover your eyes when entering its lair, etc.

I also wonder if you can mess with it by looking at things that aren't real or are distorted. Like, cast an illusion on yourself, or put a mirror in front of your face and walk backward.

MikeQ

5:51 PM

Hm, so maybe it only sees creatures who look at it?

Mark Wells

A curved mirror so it misjudges the distance, even

NautArch

Isn't there a spell that allows you to see through someone else's eyes?

Invisibility. You can see through their eyes and through the rest of them too.

So my party had to defeat about 40 CR¼ creatures across two half-hour combat sessions last night, AMA.

MikeQ

How many fireballs were involved?

GcL

Was that fun?

Xirema

@MikeQ None, because no one can cast it, although the cleric did take to spamming Word of Radiance after awhile.

Bardic Wizard

@Xirema did it end well?

Xirema

@BardicWizard I think in total the party took 20 hit points of damage spread relatively evenly across the five PCs, although admittedly like 75% of that was damage the Barbarian resisted (and then recovered with their Path of the Tundra TempHP they get each turn).

@BardicWizard It turns out that when the enemy has to hit a natural 14 to hit the lowest AC in the party, and even when they do hit only deal like 5 damage, and the party is fighting in a 10' wide hallway.... They kind of just get stomped.

@GcL I think if this had dragged on for like three hours it would have gotten tiresome, but I very quickly got into a rhythm of taking only a few seconds per creature so the players could maximize time on their turns while still getting through combat quickly.

Also, the Crossbow Expert/Sharpshooting Fighter does like 60 damage per turn, so a lot of his turns were me being like "Yup, he's dead—yup, he's dead—yup, he's dead".

Ironically, the party were debating for like 15 minutes just running away because they were worried they couldn't take them. 👀

Meanwhile, I'm sitting here like "I could throw a hundred of these guys at you and you'd be fine, just fight them!" 😁

I'd already signposted an initial encounter with 3 of them just to help the party figure out how low their stats were.

But it turns out that if you throw several dozen creatures at a level 9 party, they still assume they need to run away. 😛

Bardic Wizard

11:05 PM

@Xirema oof. Wow. That’s pretty awesome

Mark Wells

@Xirema That's sensible, and the fact that anyone ever doesn't need to run away when outnumbered 10:1 is a serious balance problem with the system. On the other hand, I'm impressed that you've got a group of players who consider running away sometimes.

BESW

@MarkWells [insert 4e reference here]

Xirema

@MarkWells I mean, the whole point of the encounter was that the party strolled up to a location that was utterly unprepared for them (because it's basically a prison camp for feeble, non-magical clerics and scribes) so the fact that they were absurdly overleveled for the encounter was part of the premise of the session.

That's one thing I was really glad I didn't have to leave behind when I transitioned from 4e to Fate; it just got better.

Mark Wells

11:26 PM

@BESW Given that you've been waving the flag for 4e a lot lately without really explaining why, I'll bite: In what ways is it well suited to your creative goals?

trogdor

it's kinda not anymore

it's just better suited than 5e would be

Mark Wells

well, yes, the "transitioned from 4e to Fate" part implies that you found better options

trogdor

I mean, it's pretty much down to how the entire system works and plays off of each of it's parts

it's hard to pick out the thing to mention first because the full impact of every part isn't seen until every part that interacts with it is understood

like there are terrain types that have the effect of slowing you down or stopping movement, and giving concealment and cover, not revolutionary by itself

but then there are a few different enemy types that have different roles, each of which wants to do specific things and might take advantage of these terrain types

like soldiers which like defending their allies, and controllers that put down attacks that debuff, and shifters that like to move in-between attacking

and just the sheer number of different PC builds that also can take advantage of terrain in different ways

I mean that stuff is what was important to me about 4e BESW might have something entirely different to say really

XD

BESW

@MarkWells Well, in this specific case, 4e had not only different roles for opponents, but different ranks. If you want to field a bunch of easy opponents, you don't use a lower level of opponent because that reduces the opponents' attack/defense/damage and trivializes the encounter. Instead, you use a "minion," which is an opponent of the party's level that has only 1 hp and standardized no-dice damage (so you can have a lot of them without rolling taking all day).

Four minions is roughly the same difficulty as one standard enemy, and an average difficulty encounter is one standard enemy per PC. So you could throw sixteen minions at a party of four and expect them to come out of it with a moderate expenditure of resources. Or, more commonly, you'd have, say, an elite (worth two standard enemies: double HP, more attacks opportunities per round), a standard or two, and a handful of minions backing them up. Or four minions and a few elites. etc.

This gave a LOT of creative control for combat.

Because level stopped being a diegetic component: instead the challenge of an enemy could be scaled through its rank and type to reflect its role in your story.

The exact same goblin might be a minion in one encounter and an elite in another, because it was more important in the second encounter and so it should stick around longer.

And everything's level was just scaled to roughly the party's, because that's the sweet spot for the statistical ratios.

And this combines with all the cool stuff Troggy mentioned about customizing encounters by using terrain effects and choosing enemies that clearly synergize with each other.

Fate, of course, takes out the careful mechanical complexity that 4e required to make that work, and substitutes a "just say what the story needs, and we'll make it work" attitude.

Mark Wells

11:42 PM

@BESW This sounds like the logical next step would be to eliminate levels entirely and just leave everything in the sweet spot, and maybe that's the part of the story where you switch to Fate.

BESW

@MarkWells I absolutely would have done that if I'd stayed in that system much longer.

In fact, I did while I was using Fate.

Out of the box, Fate has a (much gentler) numerical incline over time like D&D does, but it's super easy to just rip that out and ignore it entirely.

Around the time I started using Atomic Robo, I just tore the numerical increases out of milestone advancement and never looked back.

Characters don't get more things and numbers in my Fate games; they change their things and numbers to reflect how the character is growing and changing through play.

Mark Wells

I liked the (possibly obsolete now?) version of Fate character creation where you reflect that by just filling in more of the character sheet as you learn who they are. It emphasizes unexplored space.

But yes, if reflecting how the character is changing is a goal, most flavors of D&D are going to have trouble with that.

trogdor

@MarkWells that's not obsolete that's more of a tool for people to leave things open about their character if they don't know everything they want to make part of the charater

or even just to leave space open for a cool thing that makes sense and would be useful when you choose it
