Sure, though you're still only taking one bonus action per round so it works out

regardless, more damage is more damage and more damage is almost always good

Given the way Zephyr flubbed her rolls, it probably sounded like someone was trying to hack the wagon apart...with a dull ax.

Posted: **Mon Dec 04, 2017 11:43 am**

I mean, I didn't completely flub. But probably yes.

Hey, you know, at this point, Zephyr has become a house-hold name in our group as a reckless, feckless, abuser who takes a disturbing amount of joy in killing while at the same time almost getting killed herself.

Whittling graffiti is just an out for her.

It is a bit of a trade-off, as you'll be doing slightly less damage than hitting with both Main and offhand attacks, however it will be force damage which is not very often resisted.

Creatures on the Ethereal plane are on the Ethereal plane, Force damage itself is not just able to cross out of the material plane.

It was Holger's voice, he said "we are busy".

Posted: **Mon Dec 04, 2017 12:29 pm**

Ok, thanks for confirming. The "we" was still enough to be concerned about, but yeah, that's not going to make her worry immediately about mind control or whatever. Randy's weirdness has just made her worry about it a little bit again.

Posted: **Mon Dec 04, 2017 12:32 pm**

Yup. Holger's voice, but a brusqueness that he doesn't use with you. Also called you Nemeia, and shut the door with a wave of the hand.

I don't recall if you asked him about it after.

Posted: **Mon Dec 04, 2017 12:55 pm**

Not explicitly I don't think. He made up an excuse when she asked him what he was up to during the days, and she didn't push it, though she's not going to forget about it either. He's keeping the warlock stuff pretty well under wraps as far as she's concerned.

Just a heads up. Apparently our IT dept went on a site banning spree. It's possible they could knock me off line at work.

It's also possible they may just be selecting to limit my access since I leave at the end of the week. We'll see.

Posted: **Sun Dec 10, 2017 11:08 am**

Going off line for now. I don't know how much computer access I'll have for the next week. Spider can run Randy for me in the meantime.

Posted: **Sun Dec 10, 2017 11:51 am**

Will do, good luck!

((The difference there is that suggestion is targeting a creature, while sleep is AoE centered on a point. A closer comparison is fireball.
A bright streak flashes from your pointing finger to a point you choose within range then blossoms with a low roar into an explosion of flame. Each creature in a 20-foot radius Sphere centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw.
It doesn't say 'that you can see', but must be targeted.

To target something, you must have a clear path to it, so it canÃ”Ã‡Ã–t be behind total cover. If you place an area of effect at a point that you canÃ”Ã‡Ã–t see and an obstruction, such as a wall, is between you and that point, the point of origin comes into being on the near side of that obstruction.
So it is still a straight line from you to your target, you can't bend fireballs over buildings and around corners.

Sleep is flavored slightly different, in that there isn't something streaking from your finger, but you're still the origin of the magic, and you'd still need to have view of your 'point'.

Allowing casting at full range without regard to obstructions would mean you could walk into a baddies tower, point upward and cast sleep on the penthouse floor... Probably a bit broken.

You could fire it off into the sky over the rock face to a point at the edge of your range...

Hmm didn't think about it like that, since we are in an open space and as such there should be a clear flow of magic over the ridge, but I definitely get where you are coming from with that. Besides, its not that broken in that example as I'm sure at least one person would stay awake or we won't get far with that one minute and they will be alerted

Posted: **Sun Dec 10, 2017 2:38 pm**

((Yeah, if the top floor of baddies all drop to a casting of sleep, I'm not scaling encounters well for a 7 person 3rd level party...))

...Is it bad I am tempted to pick up a level of rogue for athletics/stealth expertise and extra (stealth) skill? Maybe up to two levels at max. It'll probably further off but being a ninja bear that can do a surprise bear hug amuses me.

Posted: **Wed Dec 13, 2017 9:03 am**

I can dampen your temptation by reminding you that multiclassing into rogue only allows you to pick up on additional skill, so you'd either be able to become proficient in athletics or stealth, but not both. Of course, you could use two ASIs to get your CHA high enough to pick up a level in both rogue AND bard...

There may also be beasts that have better stealth/athletics mix than brown bear, and keep in mind if you're raging, you have advantage on Athletics.

Posted: **Wed Dec 13, 2017 9:14 am**

Ah right I forgot that I need one, but still having athetics skill prof, expertese in athletics and per would be a boon as well.

And I do know that I have advantage on athletics (bonus: it counts as a special attack)

Posted: **Wed Dec 13, 2017 9:32 am**

I thought there might be a feat to help you out, but I don't see much. There's the stealthy feat from unearthed arcana, but I'm not sure how beneficial it'd be overall.

On a complete aside, Xanathars has REALLY emphasised the halflings lucky trait! It's now possible for halflings to take a feat that makes their allies able to re-roll 1s if they're visible and within 30 feet.

Posted: **Wed Dec 13, 2017 9:47 am**

Oooh race feats? What are the dragonborns? Anything good?

Posted: **Wed Dec 13, 2017 10:19 am**

There are a couple dragonborn, one that lets you roar instead of dragon breath, and another that gives you AC.

You're at least 2 levels from a feat, so I figured there wasn't a rush.

Posted: **Wed Dec 13, 2017 10:28 am**

That sounds kinda...sucky, since Armour won't help since I'm using the barbarian stuff and the fear thing ...I'm not sure if it's worth it. I was hoping that there would be wings like from Unearthed so then at least I could be a drop bear.

Posted: **Wed Dec 13, 2017 10:34 am**

Yeah, wasn't anything I thought you'd be excited about.

Posted: **Thu Dec 14, 2017 9:34 pm**

Sooooo... can familiars talk (using words) telepathically, or is it limited to sensory communication? I'm not entirely sire since it's technically a spirit rather than an animal, but has animal stats. Iknow it can understand my commands, but I'm just wondering how much two-way discussion to expect

Posted: **Thu Dec 14, 2017 10:30 pm**

I'm going to say that it is simple concepts, not word so much as ideas and intent. Looking at the stats for the 15 possible beasts whose form and stats the spirit can take, I pulled the following numbers to give a sense of the spirit's capabilities.

► Show Spoiler

So, generally, high DEX, decent WIS... low on all the rest, especially not very bright. It will understand and obey you, but it's still a creature with an INT of <3, so not going to be providing much in the way of stimulating conversation.

Cool, sounds good to me
