It most definitely is!

Awesome! This is really helpful, thank you! Are the squares 5 feet?

Nice to know where our bodies will be later.

Yup.
Ha!

OY! I forgot that Jin was hit by two limbs he may be grappled too...

Yup. He's grappled too. I'll update previous post in this thread.

Regan is starting to feel a little left out...

The limbs keep slipping off his armor. What can I say? 🤷‍♂️

At least he blasts them with his cold magic no matter what. That's pretty cool.

D:

(Also, it doesn’t matter right now because Jin was able to get free anyway but I believe that forcibly moving a creature outside of grappling range (such as with lightning lure) should automatically end the grappled condition without needing to pass any saving throw )

Well, that makes sense, but grapple is certainly the least of Jin's worries now. 😬

I always thought a solid house rule (even if a bit cumbersome) would to make it a contested roll of some sort.

Obviously Misty Step or Vortex Warp effects just work... but...

I'm to believe a Storm Giant with a grappled faerie can't maintain the grapple just because someone used Lightning Lure or Thunderwave on the faerie? That doesn't feel right (even if I admit I'm introducing extra mechanics we probably don't need).

Yeah, the grappling rules are a bit weird/unintuitive... Maybe it would make sense for the grappler (in this case the kelp) to make a strength save against the spellcasters DC?

Sorry for the wait. I’ll get a post in today.

Gene l, you’re right about second wind. I listed it in Cordey’s stats as a condition (of sorts), but I forgot to add the HP. That latest stats post is now updated.

All good! I wasn't sure if pulling Tasya out of the grapple would count as an action or not

I'm just migrating to this OOC thread for my post regarding the medicine check topic...

For one I appreciate, even as a DM, when you guys point things out. I often forget small but important details in the rules like medicine checks of 10 or better stabilizing a downed character. And it is fun to me for roleplaying purposes to include in-game reasons why ones character knows or does something. So, thanks Ma for that and thanks Gene for citing the rules too.


That all said, nice work in that battle everyone. It got dicey there for a while! (And it was the dice rolls that determined who got attacked, not me...so it was indeed dicey.)


I'll let oopsylon get in a post in the game thread before I add a post there.

My medicine isn’t great so I was hoping that if I finished off the kelp lurker that would free up Regan to use Lay on Hands, but I should have communicated that

To be fair, at 2 failed death saves I'd at least try. I don't know what your WIS modifier is, but with a +/-0 you have 50/50 odds. Even a +1 gives you a 55% chance. Hell, even if you have a negative modifier, grab an NPC and have them Help you (as in, the help action) and roll with advantage.

I only point this out, because if I get dropped in a fight, well... lol
