And old king dying on throne still shall grandly exert the
Royal decree, will and voice
Decide who lives and who shall dead be
Ere his wits fail, and death-dealing is another’s choice

The king sat on his skull-studded throne
Drinking steaming dragonsblood wine
Missing queens he’d taken to naught but bone
“Is it possible regret can be mine?”

It was many and many a year ago
In a kingdom by the sea
That last I saw a bright future glow
And truth and wisdom told to me
Now I get lies, stealing and coming dark doom
And told often there’s no more room
For the likes of me, so away with ye
Who’d’ve thought we’d sink so low?

If you’re like me and forget how damage is rolled on a critical hit in 5E, remember this: “All dice, roll twice. But leave the bonus alone-us.” #wotcstaff

What’s your opinion on Life Transference and Necrotic resistance for lvl10 Wizards? Would you only heal for twice the resisted damage, thus making necromancers less effective at casting necromancy spells? Or do you heal the full amount and only take half damage? I imagine the resistance would still apply, so the healing is halved as well. The spell seems less of a Necromancer’s bailiwick than a Cleric’s, so it makes sense.

concerning Eldritch Smite: is the damage intended to be 1d8 for using the Invocation itself in addition to the 1d8 per level of spell slot used? So a minimum of 2d8 damage? believe just 1d8 per level, so minimum 1d8

I have a campaign I’m starting up soon and a player is asking to be @matthewmercer’s Gunslinger. Does anyone have one or DM for one? Nervous about the crafting aspect mostly. The crafting is mostly to repair firearms, and craft certain firearms and ammunition at half cost based on the difficulty of the task (in your mind). Ammo isn’t a huge DC, but weapons can take time/multiple checks. Low rolls can succeed, but may increase the misfire Score.

As a twitter rando, can I point out I’m not a huge fan of misfire rules? I understand that people like to build in reasons why *everyone* doesn’t use guns, but centering a character on a weapon that gets extra chances to break seems unduly punitive. Just my two cents. Then by all means, don’t use them! 🙂 They are there as a means of balance/flavor, but your game is your game.

Yeah, I was more trying to talk design theory, rather than lobby you for changes in your own rules. (I kinda forgot who you were. Sorry.) It’s all good! The class was originally designed as a conversion of the Pathfinder Gunslinger, which is where the misfire comes from. Latest edition, and coming feat, have options to offset the danger/impact of misfire. 🙂
