It's been like 4 years since I've updated it, but it should still be good for some laughs.

5ft Hell: a dungeon sized for approximately 2 PCs, consisting mostly of 5ft wide corridors in which enemies attack. Usually played with a party of 6 melee PCs, most of which have a Large companion creature.

Sovereign Court 4/5

2 people marked this as a favorite.

"5 player table": For seasons 0-3, a situation where you can expect to get done early with minimal damage to the party and little chance of death.

For seasons 4-8, a situation where the chances of a TPK rise dramatically, and you start doing mental math to figure out if having this particular fifth character in the group gives a better chance of success than playing down a tier or getting the 4-player adjustment.

"7 player table": Prepare to spend the next 4-6 hours shouting to be heard and rushing into combat in order to get an attack in before everything is dead.

Also, the act of downing a potion of invisibility, gaseous form, or both after you got put in a bad position and you're confident the party will deal with the encounter before your character is where you'd like to be.

(Had this happen when a bunch of critters dropped in from the ethereal plane, causing my ranged investigator to have two four armed bad guys adjacent to him. "I five foot step, draw and drink a potion of invis, and I'm noping out for a round or two.")

What about when you go invisible and then get knocked unconscious/paralyzed? Always fun.

Or unconscious, poisoned, hidden by fog, displaced and in the trample path of two fiendish dinosaurs. Good times. The guy survived.

The animal companion in question was my t-rex. Don't get me wrong I was glad that nothing could touch him but we were lucky the tank was making his fort saves or else he would be would have been taking quite a bit of con damage.

Bloodied - Term stolen from 4e D&D, means that an enemy is down to less than half hit points.

Round here we describe that as 'Physical'.

Not completely sure why, but I suspect it's because the damage is likely to be visible.

Burned- being in the way of a fire/acid/electric based AoE spell or other attack.

Lawful Neutral: quite possibly secretly evil.
Chaotic Neutral: most likely insane.
Atonement: cheaper than what the evil item would cost if it wasn't evil and free.

Razmir: our lord and savior, the one and only living God.

Razmiran priest: door to door false God salesman, at higher levels it costs them less than the cleric to bring you back to life.
