Attachment: Critical Role Battle map.jpg If anyone is eager for more D&D content and hasn't already given Critical Role a shot, I highly recommend it. Available on Youtube where you can watch every previous episode that was streamed on Twitch, or via Podcast. A group of people who are friends first and foremost playing D&D, using their skill as voice actors to create incredible characters and who commit 100% to the roleplaying aspect. I love it. If you want a shorter form more comedy based actual play, Adventure Zone is another awesome one. I'd recommend waiting a few weeks before starting it though because their first campaign, Balance, starts using the adventure we're playing although it soon veers off into a homebrew world. If you want to listen to this one, let me know and I'll tell you when we're past the bit they deviate from. This is only available as podcast. Oh, and now a graphic novel as well actually - another treat I bought myself during a work trip to Leeds. Adventure Zone is funny but also has the ability to drop emotional moments that leave you crying real tears. They changed systems for campaign two and I didn't get into it the same but if I have time I'll probably go back and give it another shot. Balance was just perfection. One potential issue for some people is they have a story they want to tell and at times, they make sure they can tell it with some railroading and fudged dice rolls but I promise it's worth it because the story is wonderful. |

Yeah! Very much so. He is the most Scottish-sounding person alive, though, so unless you are full on Scottish it’d be easy to tell you apart as soon as you spoke. |

The last time Russell and I met up with Wullie was in Edinburgh, and honestly Russell looked like he was in some kind of wind tunnel of words, just trying to catch one (any one) that zoomed by. Edit: Sorry. I feel this thread derailment was partly me. I miss Wullie on here. |

Dimrill wrote: I meant to ask but Gill, what happens if one of the party is killed by death? So, a PC death has stages. If you are dropped to zero hit points, you start rolling death saves on subsequent turns. On your turn, you roll a d20. Roll >10 and you get one save. Roll <10 and you get one fail. If you reach three saves, you stabilise at zero HP- unconscious but not dying. If you reach three fails, you die. If you stabilise, the party can revive you with healing magic or potions. If you die, the party can try and have magic to bring you back. Spells like Revivify and Resurrection. But, these have time limits as to when they should be cast and material costs, like a diamond worth 500gp. If you are rolling death saves, a player can make a medicine check with a healer kit and if successful, you'll stabilise before reaching three saves. If you roll a Nat 20 on a save, you'll wake up with one hit point. If you take damage while unconscious and rolling saves, you'll fail one save for every blow that's struck. If you take damage over and above your hit points, you don't take negative damage you only go unconscious or lose a death save but if you take damage equal to double your hit point max, so enough to knock you unconscious and then your max hit points again in one strike, it's insta death: you auto fail all death saves. |

As I understand it once I can Wildshape it acts like a shield, ie the beast I turn into will have X hit points that once get to 0 I change back and I start whittling down my own hit points, is that right SDG? |

Correct. You use your wildshape hit points first and if you take damage over the remaining hit points, you revert back to your normal form and take any carry over damage from your own hit points. It’s a great way to soak up damage and become a melee fighter for the party. |
