Re: Through the Mists: Out of Character Discussion

EDIT: Nevermind. Found the rule for what I asked for in the spoiler. So derp moment from me. PG. 198 in PHB for ruling on Temporary hitpoints.

Hmmm looking at the Fiendish Vigor Invocation. It allows a warlock to cast False Life at will, without expending a spell slot or material components. Only Level 1 tho.

False Life - 1st Lvl Necromancy
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V,S,M (a small amount of alcohol or distilled spirits)
Duration: 1 Hour

Bolstering yourself with a necromantic facsimile of life, you gain 1d4+4 temporary hit points for the duration.
At higher levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you gain 5 additional temporary hit points for each slot level above 1st.

Spell is on PG. 239 of Players Handbook.
Eldritch Invocation is on PG. 111 of Players Handbook.

Does False Life stack? Or does recasting it refresh the duration?

Cause my own reading of it has it like this
1.) Can cast this every Action
2.) Temporary Hitpoints Stack.
3.) The eldritch Invocation doesn't do short or long rest requirement. (Mire of the Mind, same on Pg. 111, does mention needing to finish a long rest to recast the slow spell it gives.)

Blueslime, thoughts?

Temporary HP doesn't stack. That pretty much avoids a lot of problems.

Vita is pretty certain she heard a voice in her head.

What is hillarious, however, is fighting enemies that can'd damage you for more than your false life can recover.

'slap' *heal* 'slap' *Heal* 'slap' ....

Re: Through the Mists: Out of Character Discussion

If an enemy can't deal more than 1d4+4 damage to you per turn, then it's not a very large threat to begin with.

I think practically, you will be in situations where you are maybe outnumbered and could be doing things more useful than giving yourself an 5-8 HP shield, because you're sacrificing your damage output for the turn.

Re: Through the Mists: Out of Character Discussion

Sorry for the double post, maybe I'll go easy on the small-talk responses.

New post is up, I want to move on to get you guys into the adventure area proper, so I hope you'll forgive the minor railroading. Don't worry about the pretty Vistani types, if you live long enough, you'll see 'em again. Or maybe if you die as well.

Tristam saw the Raven and caught the scent due to him having easily the highest passive Wisdom (Perception) score. Expect him to see a lot of things first.

During the traveling time, it can be assumed your character got a little more familiar with each other, but you don't have to RP it all out, just to save time.

Re: Through the Mists: Out of Character Discussion

Sooo tempted to shoot the raven. But it COULD just be someone's familiar or something...

Also, I still can't see the images.

I've made the album that I'm drawing these pictures from public, so you should be able to see the pictures now.

Joe will acknowledge the order to keelhaul, but he's not exactly ready to throw down with the raven just yet. Unless you give him the explicit order to attack.

Not yet. Unless the Raven displays merchant like behaviour!

Haggling and trading shiny objects with other birds would also qualify.

Re: Through the Mists: Out of Character Discussion

Hope you don't mind me having you open the letter. I promise that as we get into the adventure and when we're dealing with traps and all that sort of thing I won't be making any hasty decisions for you.

But this is still in the semi-harmless exposition part of the adventure (although we are practically clear of that now and you guys are stepping into the sandbox).

Re: Through the Mists: Out of Character Discussion

Hadn't thought about it before, but my character has packed in the two best cantrips to deal with this misty situation. Feat well spent.

Re: Through the Mists: Out of Character Discussion

Which direction is Rovana trying to disperse the fog? Is she making the way forward easier to see?

Re: Through the Mists: Out of Character Discussion

Hmmm, I feel as tho not really doing much right now XD. Going to post additional actions here if need them.

Vita is
1.) Following Rovana
2.) Preparing to throw ball of flame and shriek in fright if seeing something (besides Joe and that Raven) appear out of the mists.
