The key is to plagiarize your obscure favorites. They don’t know about the material, and you get to make them experience it!

I don’t see the need to spend money on that. Acting like a furry is free!

Honestly the second text box should be removed. It’s just restating the previous panel

A few months ago my wife and I were on vacation in Peru and we got kicked off our flight through no fault of our own, along with 5 other strangers. We spent hours in the airport working out logistics of getting home, getting reimbursed, getting hotels/meals, etc. At one point, they suggested to one of the women to take an uber to the hotel (this was around 3 am) and she said “I’m not going out into the city without anyone I know, you’re going to send me with someone I can trust.” We had only met hours ago, but our shared predicament gave us unity.

A D&D party trauma bonding over some initial catastrophe is honestly realistic. So, if you meet up for a job and it goes badly enough, you’re essentially family!

What’s Upscroll?

Alright but “inspired by” is a far cry from “did or will do all the same stuff”. They want a strong half-celestial dude that kills monsters.

Pro tip: you can change them however you want
I attacked my party with a backhoe that had a bulette’s statblock

Also played 4e for like 3 months and enjoyed it. But it felt like a spinoff more than anything, and the game DID feel “game-ier”. I wouldn’t want my long-running campaigns in 4e.

Did anyone die in character creation?

There’s pseudodragons and whelps that can easily be low level encounters. I threw a green dragon and a bunch of flying kobolds at my level 3 party and they easily won the fight.

In this instance I wouldn’t have given the intimidation, no. I’d have allowed them to put the debris in their mouth but the npc was distracted by the attack and didn’t see. To intimidate them would take an action, and a success would give them the frightened condition.

It honestly just comes down to your DM style. An interaction like this is fun and has no mechanical benefit. If a player then wanted to pick up a potion and drink it as part of a free action, the DM would have to explain this to the players explicitly. But I’ve always been on the side of permissive rulings, because it allows the players to express themselves more freely. It takes more improvisation though.

Loosely, you get a “use object interaction” every turn that isn’t given a lot of emphasis but is in the rules as “other activity on your turn” (pg 190, PHB 2014). It includes something like talking, opening an unlocked door during your movement, picking up something within reach from a table, or unsheathing your sword as part of your attack action. It says it should require an action only if it needs special care or presents an unusual obstacle. I’d agree that grabbing a handful of dust and putting it in your mouth could be a free action.

Every table uses some form of house rule though. The description won’t be your exact D&D experience but it IS a typical one.
