So the whole, open chest and then be devoured could be a new thing mechnically added in this Dark Souls adaption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was running it, I’d just have them make a Dex save to avoid the bite, and if they fail they get a chance to make an Athletics save every turn to try and escape. Unless they come up with a creative alternative, that is. And damage every turn they’re in there. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might do the bare minimum, like throw in some thees and thines, but going 100% all-in would be too much. It would actually be a pretty easy world to GM for, I feel. Just play all the characters as kind of subdued and aloof, not too talkative. And because everyone is half-crazy anyway, if the players get too aggressively inquisitive, I’d just have the NPCs eventually start to cower, tell them to piss off, or turn hostile. The death mechanics would be fun. Make the game really tough but player deaths aren’t permanent. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Hollowing should have a mechanic similar to death saves. If you have inspiration, then your character is extremely determined and rolls with advantage against hollowing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No weeb shit Too many fucking people already My GM is pretty good, but he's bad at balancing the encounters around 7 people, the bosses drop like flies on session, the next we barely get by with an almost TPK.

BigBossBalrog Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 There mentioning Lothric and the Unkindled in the press release, so seems like the game is centered on Dark Souls 3 content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost feel like you’d have to. Dark Souls has some great lore but it’s not super expansive or detailed beyond the areas where games are set. Focusing on Lothric gives them a lot of stuff to play with from all three games. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since 3's stuff was so reliant on 1's content, they'll probally have alot of stuff from 1 too. Some potential campaign ideas; Abysss-Walker themed story; set in an abyss-covered warzone, with you and your campaigns as recruits in the Legion of Farron. Downfall of New Londo, with the rise of the Darkwraiths and ending in the flooding of the city to imprison them. Lothric Civil War between the army and the Chruch, play as either side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Angry Cthulhu Nerd howls like a beast" It's a really weird concept too, chasing the boss around while he runs away from you in a huge area while throwing spells and minions to slow you down. Too bad it sucks. Him and Arvel would be friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
