    I've been running TOA for almost two years now, searched on youtube multiple videos and dm guides in the past, and just now that my players are going into the Tomb TOMORROW, I find this huge playlist with a wealth of information. Thank you so much :)

    Hold on. At various points in the video you mention teleporting is an option for players to get around this room. This would unfortunately not work, as it would send them to room 57. Otherwise this was a good breakdown of this section of the tomb.

    • @jongrandboy4294
      @jongrandboy4294 7 місяців тому

      You’re right concerning teleportation spells and effects designed to exit the tomb. However, teleportation spells and effects contained within the tomb, such as misty step for example, do not suffer the same outcome and are permissible within the tomb.

    Hey Dm's Guide, I'm an always druid character and my favorite moment in D&D was when I was playing Hoard of the Dragon Queen. We were in a keep with lizard folk and such. My party left me for am moment to fight something else and I had to take on 12 lizard folk on my own, luckily I had thunderwave. My DM also allowed me to use thornwhip to pull myself around, so I was an explosive spiderman for a 3 minutes and wrecked house on my own with the right rolls. I was covered in blood after and everyone asked, "HWAT HAPPENED HERE?! Needless to say, I happened.

    I know this is two years old, but the campaign doesnt change so it's always good to come back to older videos like this for assistance. Appreciate all the work you do! My party is heading down to floor 5 by next session or so and I'm really excited to run the aboleth. Each personality will definitely have a voice.

  • @broodle1584

    While explaining room 39 you say to misty step. That’s not possible in this tomb. Teleportation defaults to the 50/50 room of death.

    @ricktesoro5998 Рік тому

    Great videos! Thank you for doing them. I'm running through ToA now and these have been very helpful. One thing I would say that is not entirely correct regarding Area 16 (Wongo's Tomb) is that you suggested characters can use Mage Hand to turn the key inside the chests. I would consider that chest a magic item (since it has a magic effect) and thus using Mage Hand is not going to work according to the spell description (Mage Hand cannot attack, activate magic items, or carry more than 10 pounds). Again, appreciate you and all the videos you have made. Well done!

    Saw the same compassion for animals from my players on the Foaming Mugs quest. They had no hostility towards the goblins until I described the polar bears as slat sided and malnourished. Then they decided all the goblins had to die.

  • @michaelfredgren1342

    Question: If the party attempts Turn Undead on the ghasts can that impact the blind painters as well since the range of Turn Undead is 30 feet?

  • @mrlicopoli
    @mrlicopoli Рік тому

    thanks for the post! I am about to begin this encounter. The party just triggered the juggernaut. How I see this is that the juggernaut will move through anything without stopping throughout its entire movement (50'). A player that is run over by the devastating roll, is still standing after it rolls by. The character got rolled over but didn't necessarily fall prone as the juggernaut hit and rolled over them. As an action, the juggernaut can dash, continuing it's devastating roll (effectively rolling and devastating for 100') or as an action it can complete a slam attack possibly causing the character to fall prone which could be very serious since this causes the character to lose half their movement.

  • @michaelfredgren1342
    @michaelfredgren1342 Рік тому

    Assuming that the party's strongest character is at the top of the stairs when the boulder is released, what would you say is the DC Strength check to either hold the boulder in place or push the boulder into the southern hallway?

  • @michaelfredgren1342
    @michaelfredgren1342 Рік тому

    As for the Oubliette, I wonder how long the otyugh has been there since it would have been teleported by the last part to pull the "correct" lever to teleport to 5b. Just one of those loose strings in the dungeon creation, I guess.

  • @michaelfredgren1342
    @michaelfredgren1342 Рік тому

    Just curious what you think, a party that I was in tried two different approaches for leaving the maze. The first was to create an image of a man with an amputated right arm. The DM didn't buy that one. Secondly, we used a bodak's corpse to trick the doors in to opening by severing its right arm and prop it against the slab with its stub arm up. The DM opened the doors.

    Ok maybe I don't understand cause I'm more a player... How does 345hp, magic resistance, and intimate knowledge of the party not win most the time? Then you get cursed for slaying all of them? And my party wonders why I hate pre written adventures...

    • @robmongar7933
      @robmongar7933 Рік тому

      With my group (literally arrived at this encounter yesterday) I'm wondering how on earth the hags survive a round. Their fighter will make 6 attacks using action surge, and their paladin has Shagambi and Haste, so will make 4 attacks per round. This alone will easily take down one hag and likely seriously injure another. Then they have 4 MORE characters, Warlock, Cleric, Wizard and Ranger. I'm considering how to handle it because I don't want to just increase the HP. I'll probably give them +2 extra AC to hit and multiattack. Also proficiency in con saves so they can concentrate better, as well as 20 Charisma so their spells are harder to resist... It won't help them much!

    I have many favorite moments playing dnd but I think my overall favorite moment is when my friend wasn't paying attention and he didn't realize that we are in a town going to go see the local blacksmith so the Dm says you see a little girl throwing a ball around he immediately shot her in the head with a crossbow thinking we are still in the woods. Next thing we know we are being chased out of the town by the guards and now we aren't allowed in that town ever again

  • @ericrizzotti9995
    @ericrizzotti9995 2 роки тому

    My favorite DND moment: we were playing a heavily homebrewed sci-fi campaign that had ran for almost 2 years, was very high level. They were on a casino moon of Saturn. Our barbarian had just lost a wrestling match to Vladimir Putin, who seemed pretty unbeatable. So, he went to go train with Hercules, but to get there he had to climb 'Mount Olympus', basically the Super Aggro Crag from Guts, with Hercules constantly chucking boulders down at him. Then, he had to wrestle with Hercules at the top. Hercules was a very over the top macho wrestler guy. So, after his trials, he claims Hercules belt of strength, leaps from the top of Mount Olympus, crashes through the roof into the feast hall with Putin, and defeated him in wrestling, becoming the king of the space pirates.

    Telekinesis only effects things you can see so your party wouldn't have been able to move the beholder. They got v lucky!

    • @whatsyourgeek4279
      @whatsyourgeek4279 2 роки тому

      I was thinking the same thing. Most every spell that targets something (thus, excluding area of effect spells like fireball) has the requirement that the caster has to see it. Did you sorcerer have a way to see the invisible? If not, I would insert an undead beholder into your current campaign that is permanently invisible and have it come seeking revenge.

      A creature *can hold its breath* for a number of minutes equal to 1 + its Constitution modifier (minimum of 30 seconds). When a creature runs out of breath, it can survive for a number of rounds equal to its Constitution modifier (minimum 1 round). At the start of its next turn, it drops to 0 hit points and is dying.

    The stairs in 55 are 15 feet long. All the other stairs in TOA are usually 45 degrees, making it really simple to interpret the depth or height of stairs. So 25 feet high ceilings is about right

    The partys rogue was picking the lock, the stone landed on the barbarian. Kept boulder in special bag of holding, had the rogue enter and managed to disturb the skeletons and got them to charge into a wall of barbarian and fighter shield wall, one by one melting the skeletons. And magic cantriping the rest. And only one player retrieved the keys and unlocked the sarcophagus, gaining all the abilities. And the cloak, all because the other players wanted to sit and watch the see what would happen. And then complained after the fact, i love these players. Maybe next time they wll help the warlock and his goblin familar, do a high challenge part of the tomb. The elemental rooms are coming up soon, this should be fun.
