@Catofdoom2 Yeah

Cat of doom2

@RevanantBacon i didn't watch it happen but they were near the tree and their was a lot of it over and over again

and then it just stopped. idk why

AncientSwordRage

Getting a bit dark @Catofdoom2....

@G.Moylan that's my preferred interpretation

Cat of doom2

@AncientSwordRage I don't know what you're referring to

I didn't see it happen so Idk what happened.

but they did go missing after. mom and dad never told me what happened to them. @AncientSwordRage

okay, yeah, that got way too dark. sorry about that guys.

@RevanantBacon that's not half wrong

AncientSwordRage

@Catofdoom2 it's an awesome visual

Cat of doom2

@AncientSwordRage they lost their lives protecting the tree of life!!

Cat of doom2

@G.Moylan oh i see it

AncientSwordRage

@G.Moylan I think they're having fun hinting at a dark premise and then feigning ignorance for humorous reasons :p

Trish

@Catofdoom2 how's the phoenix going? I think there are 3 screws that could make him actually a threat that can be approached by the party: a) its HP could be too high compared to the ability of the party to deal damage. b) its healing might be too high, creating too much virtual HP that need to be broken through. c) It could possibly have a weakness of sorts.

G. Moylan

@Trish I imagine water/aquatic damage would not be its favorite...

NautArch

@Catofdoom2 I would recommend against continuing to work on the Immortal Phoenix until you've got a better build goal and understand what level the players will be at, what their skills are, and how you envision this fight happening (minions, environment, lair?, etc.)

Trish

16:14

@G.Moylan could be.

NautArch

Until you've got a solid undertanding from that, you'll be developing in a vacuum.

kviiri

@Trish I don't think nullifiable 2d12 per turn regeneration (which it had by my recollection) is too bad in that sense since it's a high-level target. Aside from a general dislike for regenerating enemies

G. Moylan

@G.Moylan cold damage, excuse me

NautArch

I'm trying to hink of a monster that has a regen ability that can be stopped with a threshold value of damage of a certain type.

And I can't - so far only ones that are any damage of that type.

kviiri

@NautArch I think 13th age has something like that

Cat of doom2

16:16

@Trish good morning, i've been working very hard on him

G. Moylan

@NautArch yeah I'm thinking of trolls

Trish

@kviiri well, an average of 13 regen adds about 50% more time onto the battle. making it shut-downable is a good fix, and hs the same effect as reducing it overall. STill, Regeneration monsters are the hardest to design.... Why regen, if you could have a Phoenix have a much more appropriate rebirth ability that triggers on 0 HP?

@NautArch Trolls are fire iirc... any fire damage and they don't regen that turn, was that right?

MikeQ

I'm seeing a lot of discussion about HP and regeneration, but what's the actual core idea of the design? Why build a custom creature? Is there a special goal for the encounter?

Cat of doom2

@Trish a rebirth abilty would be better?

kviiri

@Catofdoom2 I think it would, personally, for a few reasons. It gives you a good thematic reason to pull a "not even my final form" move to make the fight feel more special and dynamic

GcL

16:20

@Catofdoom2 What's the plot purpose of the this pheonix?

kviiri

If you've ever played a JRPG (eg. Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Chrono Trigger) this is something they make heavy use of. You have a big monster that's too awesome to be easy to defeat, but you also don't want to bore your players by making them fight the same monster for very long

Trish

@Catofdoom2 something akin to "once slain, the phoenix leaves an egg. When X happens, the egg cracks and it is reborn" would be the typical phoenix, removing the monster from the game for some time. If it is a "not even my final form", then the egg or corpse shifts and you are in the next phase of the combat. It's all upon what you want.

kviiri

So their big bosses tend to have phases – after you harm a phase enough (to zero or some other value, doesn't really matter) the boss advances into the next phase where they have different powers and tactics

GcL

@Catofdoom2 That seems very pheonix like, but don't be surprised when your players try to prevent the rebirth the 2nd time around. If they come up with something clever, like dousing it with water... make sure that has a noticeable effect. Lower damage, different color flames, less hp, duller feathers... something mechanical and narrative is nice.

NautArch

@MikeQ That's what I keep trying to say :)

We are delving way too deep into design without understanding what we are designing for.

Cat of doom2

16:24

@GcL back in the beginning of the earth, the phoenix would set everything in its path ablaze, nothing could vanquish the phoniex for it was the strongest phoenix ever so the gods sealed him away, dividing its soul between 20 arrows.

kviiri

NautArch's right, I think

I love dropping ideas but that's all that it is without an idea on what it's wanted to be like :)

GcL

@Catofdoom2 Neat back story. What is the purpose to the plot the players are involved in?

NautArch

And if this is a end-game fight, you really don't need to figure this out now.

GcL

Does this monster need to be a tough fight? Is it there to absorb expendable resources to force tougher choices later? Is it there to illustrate the players can't just kill their way through the dungeon?

NautArch

Odds are the story, the players, and even the boss may change by then.

Trish

16:26

@Catofdoom2 Is the phoenix they fight an actual godlike being? splinter of that primordial force? Is it meant to be the culmination of the campaign where they rescue the planet?

kviiri

We were actually just discussing this #elsewhere

Trish

Or is it just a mere afterimage of the primordial world-destroying thing, which just needs to be returned to egg-shape and then haued to a temple to be re-arrowed?

Cat of doom2

@Trish well they can reseal the phoenix (because nothing can kill it) or they can let everything burn. so kinda rescue the planet but not fully but yeah.

NautArch

@Catofdoom2 If nothing can kill it, it doesn't need a stat block.

kviiri

That many people start these very long campaigns, eg. long form L1 - L20 campaigns in DnD 5e, but very few people actually get close to finishing them, so most people have much less experience on how to play as (or run a game for) a high-level party

Trish

16:28

I think... we need to know more, or it doesn't need a stat block. If it is meant not to be killed, you just run a "timer" and use narrativum. The players need to do their best, but in the end it is Deus-ex-machina that does it.

AncientSwordRage

@NautArch if defeating and killing are not the same thing, then it does make sense

kviiri

Applying that experience, still: I wouldn't plan anything beyond a couple of sessions ahead unless I was 100% cool about not getting to see it in action.

GcL

@NautArch Yeah. Just needs some mechanics for dealing with it. E.g. taking damage makes it fly to the opposite direction, or come towards the source of damage if this is a herd the bad guy kind of encounter.

Cat of doom2

@NautArch MOUTAINS HAVE A STAT BLOCK!!!!!!!

NautArch

@AncientSwordRage Kinda/sorta. If they can't kill it, then the stats don't really matter. Just the attacks and keeping the fight going for whatever else has to be done.

Cat of doom2

16:30

@Trish @GcL it was one of the first living things

kviiri

@NautArch Also in reverse: if the stats really matter, it can be killed. (This is something a friend who's really into Deadlands has been lamenting, that the game's splatbooks just had to stat the unkillable hence rendering them killable)

GcL

@Trish I abhor Deus-ex-machina endings. Rather have agency where the players know how the machine will work, or at least have an expectation of it. A cage, teleporter, sleeping dart, or whatever. If they have an idea of the goal and what conditions trigger that goal, it's a lot more satisfying than, "push a button and unexpectedly the problem is solved."

@Catofdoom2 Neat back story. Doesn't tell me where it fits into this plot. Specifically what it's role is in the plot.

Trish

@GcL true, make the players... operate the machine.

Cat of doom2

@GcL it's kinda like a boss. like one of the final bosses. maybe the last one depending on how the story is played

NautArch

I really think we need to go back a few steps @Catofdoom2.

Trish

16:33

A lot in campaigns can be handwaved. normally, in TDE a fight 1:1 against orcs would take some... 5 rounds to dispatch. In my Year of the Gryphon campaign, I barely ever used full on fights: I bunched a group of orcs into units, and hits above a certain number removed an orc as a wounded or dead. Since we were fighting an army basically, it made sense.
Then, the end boss. They **knew** they could not kill the monster endboss, but they did their best so one of them could actually blow the horn to summon the gryphon that would dispatch the demon.

NautArch

What level are the players going to be when they reach this encounter?

GcL

@Trish If they know how the machine is supposed to work then it's not unexpected, and not dues ex machina

Trish

@GcL well, depends. Tehy know how to operate it but have no clue what happens or when to use it. "This wheel will end the threat. Turn it at the right time or risk your own destruction"

MikeQ

Someone mentioned old-school JRPGs and I think I see the issue here. In those games, the convention was to lock a 4-character party into a "boss fight" combat, where the boss has a ginormous pool of HP that the characters will slowly chisel, resulting in a long and drawn-out "battle" that consists of repetitive turns. That design does not translate well to D&D 5e.

Cat of doom2

@NautArch definitely higher levels probably above 16 (unless the DM is doing it wrong)

Thomas Markov

16:35

In my experience, the number one way to never see your homebrew monsters in action is to design ones the party is supposed to fight six months from now.

GcL

@Trish That's still entirely expected. Expect that when the wheel is turned, threat ends. Dues ex machina is something unexpectedly showing up, usually at the last moment, to save an otherwise doomed situation.

NautArch

@Catofdoom2 And what level are they now?

Trish

@GcL ok, it's not a full on Deus ex machina.

GcL

I think the bit about adding a timing element makes it an even better plot mechanic. Could be an entire quest to find the turn-the-wheel-timer.

@Catofdoom2 Level 16 is a long way off. Plenty of stuff in the near future to spend energy on and make interesting for players.

Trish

@GcL they might even face the phoenix earlier in the campaign, just to give them exposé to it. A battle they have to flee from, to show them what is on the line (and they get XP for fleeing)

GcL

16:39

@Trish Don't need a stat block for that.

Trish

@GcL AYE

just... in classic style: have it show up.

GcL

Challenge is to flee effectively, can make for an interesting chase sequence. Or series of chase sequences. The DMG actually has a section on running chases.

AncientSwordRage

Cat of doom2

@GcL mountains have stat blocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@AncientSwordRage ho-oh?

AncientSwordRage

yup

GcL

16:40

@Catofdoom2 That's a waste of the paper or bytes it's written on.

AncientSwordRage

not seen again for ages

Cat of doom2

true

lol

Trish

Nothing is as unclimactic as the one player that is not on the deck of the ship being not affected by the villain's paralyze spell to climb up from the other side of the ship and sneak up to the monologing villain using invisibility and backstabbing them to death with a poisoned crit sneak attack.

Mid monologue

G. Moylan

@Trish villain whips around "You caught me monologuing, you sly dog!"

Cat of doom2

@G.Moylan lol

Trish

16:43

@G.Moylan The DM was stunned, I was laughing as his villain just took 50-something damage. AND a roll against auto-die.

Cat of doom2

@Trish OMG, thats amzing

G. Moylan

@Trish baddy broke pls fix

MikeQ

@Trish Depends, that sort of action could be very memorable and climactic. Definitely an interesting way of taking advantage of the situation.

Trish

it was a... lvl 6 ot 7 elf-ninja in pathfinder using a wakizashi or katana iirc. I asked the DM "Is he helpless?" he said yes. I pulled the "step of invisibility, move over, stab him in the back. That's.... clatter Much damage and if he isn't dead already, roll for deadly on the weapon.

G. Moylan

Hero: _stabs villain in neck_
Villain: _dies_
Hero: "What a pain in the neck!"

why didn't the underscores work

Trish

16:46

It's * in chat

MikeQ

Line breaks can mess with formatting as well.

G. Moylan

@Trish they both work

Trish

oh?

Carcer

multiline messages kill formatting

I believe

G. Moylan

it must be the line breaks. darn.

kviiri

16:49

@Catofdoom2 I don't mean to ruin your fun or tell you not to do things your way, but I think creating encounters closer to the party's current power level would be more immediately rewarding and more likely to actually get screentime

Though if you're homebrewing for a wider audience, that point is moot

Cat of doom2

i already did. and they're playing those. now I'm playing even farther ahead

@kviiri

kviiri

I see! Let's hope you get to see him in action then :)

NautArch

@Catofdoom2 What level are they now?

Cat of doom2

@NautArch 4

NautArch

@Catofdoom2 About how often are they levelling?

in real world time?

MikeQ

16:54

Makes me think of all the tabletop content that I spent time working on, intended for climactic late-campaign encounters, that never saw light of day because the campaigns dissolved after the first few sessions... :(

Cat of doom2

maybe 1 level every session or 2

NautArch

And how often are you playing?

That's a pretty darn fast progression, but cool.

kviiri

Once per two is about the pace we did (roughly)

NautArch

You're still looking at 14 sessions before this creature arrives.

MikeQ

Why is it intended for a 16th level party, specifically?

NautArch

16:57

And given that you see this as a climactic encounter, developing the whole encounter together will help you more than just one piece.

kviiri

My style of GM'ing was more fast-paced than the others', though. I tried to timebox each quest to 1-2 sessions

NautArch

@Catofdoom2 Do you see them needing to collect the 20 arrows first?

Cat of doom2

yes @NautArch

NautArch

@Catofdoom2 I would work on those encounters first. And then think about how you can use those encoutners and those arrows in the final encounter. That will help guide how you can set it up.

You can start thinking about the mechanics of the phoenix encounter. THat's more important than the stat block considering killing it isn't an option.

G. Moylan

Might I suggest: youtube.com/watch?v=y_zl8WWaSyI

NautArch

17:11

@Catofdoom2 Thinking more, the phoenix seems more like an environmental set-piece. The players need to interact with environment (with the arrows?) and complete the process (TBD) in order to end the encounter.

Cat of doom2

gimme a minute

RevanantBacon

@G.Moylan Line breaks prevent any formatting on stuff

G. Moylan

alas

Medix2

17:32

@NautArch What a weird duplicate mish mash on those spellbook things

Thomas Markov

Since we're talking about duplicates

I really think we can close some of the wish questions as dupes of the recent one

NautArch

@ThomasMarkov We should make a list! Amirite @Medix2?

Thomas Markov

@NautArch Already did!

Someone_Evil

Have you checked it twice?

TheDragonOfFlame

I've been thinking of learning FATE. Does anyone know if there are free quick start rules out there?

Trish

17:34

@NautArch not sure, but would you make the phoenix akin to a dragon using... "lair actions" or something, reshaping the environment?

Thomas Markov

@Someone_Evil Not yet, was definitely going to check it twice and thrice.

Obviously usual procedure would seek to close questions as dupes of the earliest question, but I think my answer being the highest score answer in the entire tag makes the recent question a good candidate.

NautArch

@Trish I would probably introduce lair/legendary actions of some sort. But the encounter seems more about containing the phoenix. The phoenix mechanics and stats aren't as important as the mechancis for concluding the encounter. The phoenix itself is there only to 'slow down' their success. Or failure, if the table is playing like that.

Thomas Markov

Also everyone should go read and vote on this meta and wish questions.

I was a year and a half late to the party, so my answer has some catching up to do :P

NautArch

But before I figure that out, @Trish and @Catofdoom2, I'd work out what is needed to complete containment and then start building things around that.

Medix2

@NautArch "Can a Wizard use two spell books? [duplicate]" "Can a Wizard prepare spells from other spellbooks? [cuplicate]" "Using a found spellbook as a Sorcerer-Wizard multiclass [duplicate]" "Can a Sorcerer/Wizard prepare spells from another person's spellbook? [duplicate]"

Cat of doom2

17:38

@NautArch done

Thomas Markov

@Medix2 close em all lol

Medix2

"Can the wizard in our group prepare a spell from the spellbook of an NPC wizard?" "Can a wizard copy spells from another's spellbook?" "If I stole a spellbook from a wizard, could I learn spells with it?" "Can a wizard use an acquired spellbook, or must they first copy its contents into their own spellbook?" "Can a multiclass character with 1 level of wizard copy any wizard spell they find into their spellbook?"

@ThomasMarkov Those ones are... in a really weird chaining order and they have highly upvoted answers too :(

Thomas Markov

@Medix2 pick a good one and close some open ones

Trish

@Catofdoom2 how do you figure the players shall contain the phoenix then?

Someone_Evil

@ThomasMarkov Fair enough. I don't know exactly what made me think of the christmas song, but now slightly disappointed the final line wont fit "🎵 Close vote Thomas is coming tonight 🎵"

Actually, not even sure that scans

TheDragonOfFlame

17:39

I just noticed some people have tags in their desription on their profile. How can I do that?

Medix2

Ah one of them is actually very different since it asks "Do you have to be a wizard to learn spells from a spellbook?"

Someone_Evil

@TheDragonOfFlame [tag:tagname]

Thomas Markov

@Someone_Evil I tried just now, but all I came up with was "He's making a list / He's checkin it twice / He's coming to eat your minis and dice / Thomas Markov is coming to town"

Someone_Evil

So [tag:wizard] renders wizard

Works everywhere but comments(?)

Thomas Markov

@Someone_Evil comments still create the link, but dont format it as a tag

Someone_Evil

17:41

That seems right

Thomas Markov

Heres a question. Is it possible to format text as a tag, but have it link somewhere besdes the tag page?

thomas-markov

Medix2

Oh, you can even link to tags that can't exist like attacks

KorvinStarmast

@KorvinStarmast Here, here!

"There are no questions tagged beer" Well, we will have to do something about that.

NautArch

@ThomasMarkov O the possibilities

KorvinStarmast

17:50

@ThomasMarkov I had lunch today but, since I had to come back to work, could not have a beer with that wonderful spicy grilled chicken sandwich (which I got to do the last time we were at this place and I wasn't working). I may have a longing for beer on my brain at the moment

Thomas Markov

KorvinStarmast

@ThomasMarkov I once wrote an answer about milking an ivory goat ...

Thomas Markov

@NautArch We can narrow that down a bit

@KorvinStarmast I wrote an answer about sexing dragons.

NautArch

@ThomasMarkov Neighbor of ours got a rooster when getting baby chicks. Wrong sexing.

Thomas Markov

17:52

@NautArch Baby chicks are tough.

KorvinStarmast

@NautArch won't it help to make more baby chicks though?

NautArch

@KorvinStarmast Where we are you can't own roosters in a neighborhood.

Yet that hasn't stopped me from shouting "There's a rooster in the henhouse" every time I come over.

Thomas Markov

@NautArch That law most certainly exists for a reason. They did not arbitrarily ban roosters. Someone got upset, once upon a time.

Someone_Evil

@NautArch Can you lease them?

KorvinStarmast

@NautArch hmmm, do you have to go to a stud farm to get rooster services?

|| no, not a cock farm, just NO! ||

Someone_Evil

@TheDragonOfFlame I think punctuation is out for one. There's also a length thing on actual tags

TheDragonOfFlame

Someone_Evil

@KorvinStarmast You need the http:// to make the formatting pick up the link

@TheDragonOfFlame Why shouldn't it?

TheDragonOfFlame

@Someone_Evil did that actually make a tag, or is it just visual?

MikeQ

The tag formatting syntax just generates a link. It doesn't search any databases to check if the tag exists.

Someone_Evil

18:00

@TheDragonOfFlame There is no such tag, what do you need it for?

KorvinStarmast

TheDragonOfFlame

@Someone_Evil I could imagine someone needing it, can't you? Or are there specific ones for specific rpgs?

Also, that is a horrifying sentence if read without context.

@Someone_Evil When I want to format something as a tag in comments, but also link to the tag, I use [[tag:tag-name]], which renders as "[tag name as a link to the tag]".

I started doing this particular format because people were complaining that when I wrote [tag-name] it was hard to see information about the tag (which... really? stick it in your search bar), so they didn't listen to my tag suggestions
