Upgraded Artifact Auto-Lock Feature & Increased Elemental Reaction DMG | Developers Discussion - 11/06/2024

Hi, Traveler! The latest Developers Discussion is here! Let's take a look at the optimizations that this new version update has in store for us!

[Check the original article here for higher-quality images.]

[theoutcastrogue]

Undecided about D&D 5.5 and the 2024 rules

Pros:

Weapon Mastery

Cunning Strike

stat boosts and skills moving from Species to Backgrounds

the PHB rules glossary and the DMG toolkit (for ease of use)

origin feats, and general feats giving +1 to a stat

easier to homebrew player-facing rules (because feats and subclasses are more streamlined)

some big changes, some minor tweaks

Cons:

power creep (full assessment pending until the MM comes out)

uneven power creep

stealth makes no sense

they fully bailed on the skill system

strains suspension of disbelief even more

less support for homebrewed monsters

some big changes, some minor tweaks

The CR system needs playtesting with the new Monster Manual, so assessment pending. We're probably gonna see much more dangerous monsters: Cure Wounds straight up doubled the hp it heals, and healing in general is a lot more generous. I don't know if that bloat was necessary, or motivated by anything other than "players can do MOAR damage now, buy our new books to be COOLER!", followed by a domino effect.

At this point, I'm torn between incorporating a few 5.5 rules to 5e, or a few 5e rules to 5.5, or whole other subsystems to either (I'm looking at the skill system of Level Up a.k.a. Advanced 5th Edition, it's interesting), or abandoning D&D altogether (because I'm tired, not because it's that bad). But I'm pretty sure I won't adopt 5.5 as is.

Assessment pending.

Notes for Round 4: - Team A: Crit build. 3s over, fairly relaxed clear. 2:25 on the timer for golem start. - Team B: Hybrid build. 10s over but it was on an especially good run where wave 1 ended at 2:14 (usually ends at 2:04 or even lower), giving me a lot of time for wave 2. Most of the runs I was 1-3s short from 3 medals and much butt clenching and cursing was had. - Team C: Dmg to weak build. I didn't peep the timer at the end, but I had 2:13 on the timer for golem start. Team B was the hardest for me. Between CA and AB, I found AB to be easier because of how he pulls enemies together. I was focusing a lot on keeping them all grouped, trying to kill 1 enemy ASAP in wave 1 so it spawns the shielded dog faster, hopefully fast enough that the dog gets included in my second resonance which enables me to deal more damage to it. Lots of praying that the dogs behave and don't backstep too far away from the rest of the group.

DannyMay 2024 #13 D&D AU

I made character sheets for the characters in Danny Phantom and my OC.

Sam: Tiefling Sorcerer “Moondagger” https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/124056875/ImInp2

Danny: Aasimar Druid https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/124057969/SWBt4k

Tucker: Rock Gnome Rogue https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/124058942/pwd63N

Jazz: Aarakocra Bard https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/124059885/uz3kI3

Chelsea: Wood Elf Cleric https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/124059256/YITS3E

Jacob is the DM, so he doesn’t get a sheet.

Now let’s see if I can actually write something about it. LOL!

≈∞≈

“I’m going to start you all out at level five,” Jacob said, passing out blank character sheets. “That will give you more options.”

Chelsea groaned, “More options? How am I supposed to pick with what options we already have? It’s so confusing.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll help you out,” Jacob said confidently.

“I’m with Chelsea,” Jazz said. “We’re all new to D&D. Shouldn’t we start with the basics?”

“Trust me, level one isn’t nearly as fun as level five,” Jacob said. He gave everyone a copy of the Player’s Handbook. Why he had so many copies was anyone’s guess. “Start with level one and I’ll help you level up. It’s a lot easier than you think.”

“If you say so…” Chelsea said. She wrote down the first name that came to mind on her character sheet: Khend. “Well, I’m definitely going to be a healer.”

“So you’ll want cleric,” Jacob said, pointing to the class spot on her sheet.

“Is there anything to do with technology?” Tucker asked eagerly.

“Gnomes have the tinker feature,” Jacob said. “That’s probably as close as you’re going to get. I don’t have any of the artificer material. I just have the basic books.”

“Okay, whatever you say, man,” Tucker said, writing things down.

“Danny,” Jacob started, “you can be an Aasimar. That’s a special class in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. Here, I’ll show you.”

“What’s an Aasimar?” Danny asked.

“It’s an angel basically,” Jacob said. “It’s the closest we’ll get to a ghost.” He moved over to Danny’s spot at the table and flipped open the DMG to the correct page. “Here, read up on it.”

“Thanks,” Danny muttered.

“Is there anything relating to motivational speaking?” Jazz asked.

“Actually, there is!” Jacob replied. “The bard is the perfect class for you.”

“Oh, cool!” Tucker said suddenly. “The rogue looks totally fun. I’m picking rogue.”

“Good choice,” Jacob said. He was glad someone was getting into the spirit of things. “What about you, Sam? You haven’t said anything yet.”

“I’m thinking this demonic-looking thing is good,” Sam said casually, pointing to the image of the tiefling.

“That’s a tiefling,” Jacob told her. “You might try the sorcerer class to go with it.”

“Nice,” Sam said.

The six of them continued working on characters for a few minutes, Jacob jumping around the table to help where needed.

[ Deepspace Trial ] Open Orbit - stage 120 -- progression notes & team set up overview

So close, yet so far! I've finally reached the last stage of Open Orbit in the Deepspace Trials. A few things to note about this trial-- stage 120 requires two teams. Team 01 requires 6 emerald memories to match the protofield Stellactrum, while Team 02 requires 6 violet memories. Recommended memory level is 80. With that said, since I'm still working on beating this so let's break down the fights to see what I can do to improve on my attempt runs and eventually clear.

vod reference: recording-2024-04-19-163211

Team 01 set up w/ 𝓧𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒓

Companion: Xavier - Lightseeker Weapon: Hunter Wand

5☆ Lightseeking Shadowrend (emerald/solar) Lv 80/awakened using +9 and +12 protocores

5☆ Lightseeking Obsession (emerald/solar) Lv 80/awakened rank 3 using +9 and +12 protocores

5☆ Romantic Afternoon (emerald/lunar) Lv70 rank 1 using +9 protocores

5☆ Fluffy Trap (emerald/lunar) Lv60 using +9 protocores

4☆ A Captured Moment (emerald/lunar) Lv60 using +9 protocores

4☆ Close Feelings (emerald/lunar) Lv60 using +9 protocores

Team 02 set up w/ 𝓡𝒂𝒇𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒍

Companion: Rafayel - Abyss Walker Weapon: Phantasma Sands

5☆ Deep Sea Riches (violet/solar) Lv80/awakened using +9 and +10 protocores

5☆ Deep Sea Promise (violet/solar) Lv80/awakened using +9 protocores

5☆ Whispers (violet/lunar) Lv80 rank 1 using +9 protocores

5☆ Your Fragrance (violet/lunar) Lv77+ using +9 and +12 protocores

4☆ Hidden Shadow (violet/lunar) Lv60 rank 3 using +9 protocores

4☆ Ivory Nightfall (violet/lunar) Lv60 rank 3 using +9 protocores

For the first half, I am able to clear the round even though I sometimes cut it close to the timer running out. Using the Hunter Wand, it'll help to group them all up or at close to each other before dropping an [active skill] to AOE dmg all of them. Otherwise it takes too long to single target them down individually.

For the second half this a two minute fight. The Elysian Cervus wanderer has 5-HP bars + 4-shields. It's good to note that It locks its shields a couple times throughout the fight - probably HP triggered, but I'll have to do more runs to test it to see if I can phase skip those or at least time it so I don't lose out on damage.

On my best run attempt I'm able to execute 3 complete shield breaks before the timer runs out, but it's still no where near close to a clear lol.. I have roughly 1 and a half HP bar left on the boss. So I need to figure out how to get more damage in my stats by either leveling up my memories or protocores. Currently I'm working on leveling up [Your Fragrance] to level 80. I'll do some more test run to see if I need to level up the 4-star memory [Ivory Nightfall] and/or [Hidden Shadow] from level 60 to 70 afterwards. I know I'll need to level them up eventually to use or for affinity points, but I don't want to use precious resources for 4-stars when I prioritize 5-star memories in the long run. As for protocores? It will require a lot of stamina dedicated to only farming protocores. It'll also take a lot of gold and core energy resources to fully level up to +15. Most of my protocores are at least +9, but I'll be okay with getting them to at least +12 for the extra stat bonus level up. Even then that is still taxing... For now I'll do a my daily core farm to complete tasks to slowly build up resources and maybe use those free stamina packs from completing all the dailies to farm them on Sundays if I need to find a better protocore. Main focus for me will be on obtaining violet delta cores - need to look for more or better Crit Rate main stats to replace the dmg boost to weakened ones I have equipped.

[imagineitdearies]

Ooh you watched it too! For some reason, the two seconds of Vincent we got reminded me of Tystar, but flipped.

Re: the venom potency thing, I was actually wondering. Am I remembering right that there’s a bit of a semantic distinction between a true vampire and a vampire master? Like, courtesy of Cazador and the Rite of Perfect Slaughter, we don’t have a ton of variation in the vampiric ecosystem of Baldur’s Gate, but aren’t there covens of vampires elsewhere, like in Amn or Athkatla or something? Where there are multiple true vampires with their own spawn, but a single vampire lord? Because presumably Amanita Szarr, when she was being pressured into partaking in the “family rites,” wasn’t expected to usurp Donnella or whomever, or Cazador or anything like that. So maybe Vincent was a true vampire from a different sire, but because Cazador is the vampire lord of Baldur’s Gate, Vincent is still “a servant of [that] dread master.” Hence the second cousin twice removed brother. And why a certain murder-happy vampire lord might have potentially benefited from sending him on an errand where he was a tad less likely to return (don’t trust Cazador, don’t trust him AT ALL, I suspect foul play and I’ll blame him even if it isn’t his fault)

Or there’s always the chance it’s due to whatever is keeping a vampire’s head even slightly animated, given that IIRC decapitation is one of the tried-and-true methods for vampiric permadeath. And whatever is keeping it generating any amount of blood. Cuz while head wounds bleed a lot, the head is mostly bones and brains and muscles and juices. Not a lot in the way of large blood vessels. So something’s squidgy either way. (Honestly, wouldn’t be surprised if Araj wasn’t involved in some of the alchemical nonsense. In wider FR lore, her family has a history of mucking about with illithid blood via having their daughters go and boink with them, and they kept vampire illithids as pets/livestock, so. Add in her creepy biting fetish, and this is firmly in her wheelhouse, I’d say.)

Does anyone have a copy of the new DMG/MM/whatever manual has vampire details in it? Cuz I think I remember part of the promo for this event was that they’d be playing around with new features from 2024 5e. Maybe there’s new info? Who knows! Not I.

Also also, upon hearing Vincent say “darling,” I am firmly and irrevocably convinced that he’s where Astarion picked up the affect. Cuz shamelessly gratuitous flirt seems like an odd match for a 39 year old magistrate, questionable morality or not, at least for something that makes up such a huge part of his outward personality. So I’m imagining Vincent helping him build a mask to draw people in. I’m also imagining them as like an ace/qp relationship, cuz Astarion deserves more platonic cuddles in his life.

In conclusion, I’ve had Vincent for less than a day and if anything else happens to him, etc etc and so on.

Hi there! Yes, I most definitely saw the one-shot as I am a huge D&D nerd haha (just ran a Western-inspired game last Saturday for a friend's birthday), so I love to see the BG3 companions being played in this format. I didn't know that they were trying out 2024/One-D&D mechanics though! That may explain some of the vampire lore discrepancies, though I would be surprised 😂

It's interesting, Cazador Szarr is called both a vampire lord (basically leader of all types of lesser undead) and a master vampire (specifically can lead large gangs of spawn) in bg3, but descriptions of both seem pretty scarce via my minimal FR Wiki dives. While Vincent being a true vampire could explain his venom potency, it would seriously lower my opinion of him, because we would have no reason to believe either via lore or d&d mechanics that he'd have to follow Cazador unwillingly. Regardless, you do bring up an interesting point about Amanita Szarr and their family rites--one could argue she was made into a true vampire, not a spawn, which would certainly complicate her story (though I'd say, even though people complain about Astarion not turning his romanced Tav/Durge immediately into a true vampire, that does seem kinda risky given just how much power you'd get on top of suddenly dealing with sanguine hunger, so I've always assumed she was made a spawn).

I don't have a copy of the new 2024 d&d rules myself! Others feel free to weigh in if you know whether they might explain anything new about d&d vampires 😊 though tbh my best guess is that Jeremy Crawford, as big of a lore geek as he must be, just didn't think too hard about the implications before deciding on a dice roll that Astarion would know the decapitated vampire they found 😂 it made for some amazing roleplay, so it was worth it!!

And as someone who friendzoned him my first run, I wholeheartedly agree Astarion deserves all the platonic cuddles 🥰
