  • I managed to work up an immunity to Poison, so our DM had a drow princess get one last action when she got to 0 hp to attack me with her only attack spell as I had severely pissed her off, and it was cast at 5th level

    But her only attack spell was Ray of Sickness

  • Ed can be praised and blamed for a lot of things, but I don't think this specific bit is him

    Looking it up, this is from Dragon Magazine 298 in an article by Robin D. Laws

  • So the door itself had a sorta embossing design of an incomplete web. You would have to complete the webbing but there is a trap part that, if connected, triggers active, offensive traps. With a good investigation roll, my arcana and a Web spell from the rogue's cloak, we did the puzzle and the door opened itself

  • It was sealed with magic (I had detect magic going) and no handles, locks or visible seals

  • Hey, we just go through fighting an aspect of the Spider Queen (The local Lolth expy), in which I had my max HP cut in half and was the only one downed because of it. Was kinda fizzled at that point

  • The fact it's phrased as "Finally found" implies that not only had they not known where it was, they may not have been sure it existed but were determined to find it for some reason

  • Pretty much, except for the racial feat I mentioned since it's a feat.

    In 5e, you tend to get your Racial ability stuff at character creation, save for some more powerful stuff that unlocks down the line. For instance, the Teleport abilities I mentioned for the Eladrin and Shadar-Kai are things they have out the gate, but the added effects of those teleports don't come until a few levels later.

    It's the same for a few other races where they will have some starter thing that is improved later on (IE, Tieflings start with a set Cantrip and level 1 spell at the start, and at levels 3 and 5 get higher level racial spells, which are all determined by the circle of hell your bloodline is tied to), but most stuff is out the door from character creation

  • Eladrin do, they have a racial ability called Fey Step which lets them use a bonus action to teleport up to 30ft (With the added options I mentioned earlier). The only other elf race that gets a natural teleport ability is the Shadar-Kai (Elves tied to the Shadowfell and the Raven Queen), who can teleport as a bonus action and at higher levels gain resistance to all damage for a short time after.

    Other Elven subraces don't inherently have the ability to teleport but do have other abilities, usually some combination of Spellcasting, Weapon Proficiency or Supplemental Skills. The only other thing close to a racial teleport is High Elves can take a racial feat to get the Misty Step spell (Teleport 30ft) with one free cast per short/long rest

    Jump

  • Eladrin is a subrace of Elf that are more closely tied to the Feywilds, having a form for each season that they shift between based on emotional state and which effects their racial teleporting ability (Spring can teleport an ally instead, Summer deals fire damage to chosen targets on arrival, Autumn can charm up to two targets on arrival, and Winter can Frighten a target next to the point they are teleporting from)

    Synaptic Static is a Intelligence save spell that deals AoE psychic damage and on failure also inflicts a lingering debuff that subtracts 1d6 from the targets attack rolls, ability checks and concentration checks until they pass the save at the end of their turn.

    Dimension Door is a teleportation spell that can carry you and one willing creature of your size or smaller up to 500ft and doesn't require line of sight

  • Oh that, so she's been planning this war thing for a while now, it's been the endgame of our current campaign for about 6 years now. I will point out that, as of the war starting, she's actually using two systems.

    We have the usual actual D&D battle if the player party actually enters into proper combat, which is largely meant for when we actively move to encounter special units ourselves, which we will be doing next week as we move to try and take out the Countess who heads up the upper markets where slaves are sold.

    But most of it thus far as been an overworld strategy game style of battle she worked up for it, where we have units who's HP signifies the number of members in that unit (Barring special units such as our party being one unit, a slime rancher we recruited, the Pirate Queen's crew, etc), and each unit has a set damage number, a set bonus to attack, an AC and a Morale stat, like so-

    Moon Warriors-Infantry HP-8 Attack +5 Damage 1 Morale +3 AC 14 Range 1

    Slime Rancher-Special HP-10 Attack +7 Damage 1 Morale +2 AC 14 Range 2

    Overworld battle is simply attacks of one unit on another, you choose to attack a square in range. For normal units, your damage goes to the least damaged, non special unit in the square (Ala infantry battles), and special units can choose specific targets to press a weakness or go after enemy commander units. If a unit drops below half health, they have to make a morale save or spend the current turn fleeing.

    As an example, my party popped up in the middle of the city with our slime rancher and two platoons of Moon Warriors. This means our square had four units. A neighboring square had two Drow units, so our moon warriors attack there and their damage, if they hit, applies to the unit with the least damage, but either the party or the slime rancher can target a specific enemy unit to try and wipe it out with our better range or damage (The party has 3 damage in overworld). This means the infantry battles are more streamlined and the special units can more specifically target weakened units to lessen the number of attacks against our side.

    Lastly, at the start of each day is the Tide of Battle roll to determine which side resolves their actions first during the day, with two actions per day (Actions currently are Unit Movement and Unit Attack, other things may become available as things progress)
