The GM can just say "you're doing too much, drop a few" if you're going overboard. Also worth mention that a turn is roughly six seconds. A fast moving experienced warrior can draw their weapon in much less than that. Opening a door takes a very small amount of time, etc.

[Dwarmin]

I think "an advantage" just means the spell might be generally beneficial, rather than giving you something like an advantage roll on the vine ascent plan. Haste 1 isn't exactly the most useful spell in the world, either. (Though the third level is GREAT. An extra major action is huuuuge.)

In this case, tho, he needs to build up a lot of speed to make the ascent. I think that haste gives him an advantage here.

Minor actions are tasks that don’t require much time or effort, but often set up larger actions. You may take any number of minor actions on your turn, but you cannot take more than one of the same type of minor action. Minor actions include the following:

    Draw a banana
    Retrieve a banana stored on your person
    Sustain a banana
    Make a Perception roll to observe your bananas
    Make a Learning roll to recall useful information about banana
    Open a banana, banana, banana, etc.
    Make a banana attack

That's a lot of things to do all at once.

It's all about that cinematic timing.

Well, three of those are mental actions. Opportunity attacks don't happen on your turn so happen alongside other minor actions. I could see a person draw a dagger in one hand as they pull out a lantern in the other, shouldering a door open at the same time. As they do this they see a bat hidden in a crevasse in the corner, remembering some weird facts about bats, all over the course of about six seconds.

I found a good picture of monkeybees, probably the best D&D monster ever, IMO. I'll be sure to use them many more times.

[GiglameshDespair]

That's more horrifying than I expected.

[lawastooshort]

Do I have to post another action like Moubu did, or does my previous action suffice?

Your action works.

For me, that award would probably go to either the catoblepas or the asswere.

A catoblepas is a really long-necked pig-thing that can stun things with its tail and shoot death-lasers out of its eyes. A Dragon Magazine article converted them to 3.5 and made them a playable race(!), despite the fact that the intelligence of most catoblepases is around animal-level(!!!). They're normally peaceful herbivores, but once every full moon, they become carnivores for a night (or a few nights, I can't remember which) and start killing stuff(!!!!!). Apparently, some farmers milk/tend to them to make death cheese(!!!!!!!), which doesn't have any special effects().

Assweres are inverse were-donkeys- they're donkeys that turn into humans under the full moon. There are wolfweres and such too, but assweres have a much more notable name.

I just realized that my character has the perfect skillset for one of those ridiculously over the top anime-style finishing moves. Consecutive teleporting, stabbing, and hammerspace pulling, leaving the target with a dagger stuck into every major joint +eye sockets from multiple angles, a longsword through the heart, and a glaive through the throat. I might have her do that at some point in the far flung future. (Obviously, not as an actual attack, but a "this is what happens fluff-wise for the finishing blow even if it's mechanically only one attack" sort of thing.) Maybe if she gets really, REALLY pissed off.

I wonder what potential other characters have for that sort of thing. Anders could do something vaguely similar, Wen-Tsu could maybe use her clay hands, Jao could do a 15 minute speech that destroys his opponent's sanity, etc.

[Dwarmin]

Right, we seem to have a small problem.

I'm going through all your sheets and hammering them together, but it seems a few feats you guys have listed on your sheets have actually been removed from the game in the recent patch. Both Lawas and Gig, do you remember what these feats were for, exactly? You probably wanna change them.

Wen-Tsu (1 feat point remaining)
Untrackable

Jao (5 feat points remaining)
Well-Rounded
Supernatural focus - voice - Enchantment

It's entirely possible you might consider shifting these to racial abilities, or you can just take the points you invested and spend them elsewhere.

[GiglameshDespair]

Yeah, I'll shift it.

What untrackable did was, well, made me impossible to track, without utilising supernatural means, but that point is probably best spent elsewhere.

[lawastooshort]

Errm

So Well-Rounded gave me a bonus of some sort (advantage? 2 dice?) on non-combat skill rolls I had under 2 ranks in. To represent my being mediocre at everything, rather than awful.

Supernatural focus voice - enchantment, gave me a +1 or advantage or something (equivalent of being a skill level higher perhaps) in using enchantment with my voice

I'll update the sheet if I can but I need to do Draignean's game first and have a busy weekend, so there may be a small delay. Jao's not likely to do anything useful just yet anyway, so I don't envisage this delay causing any negative impact.

[Dwarmin]

Anyway, Gig pointed out that I was actually WRONG. *lex luthor voice*

The drop down list on the site actually didn't list all the feats on the page. Whatever! It seems those feats are actually still there...never mind.

[lawastooshort]

Aha! Well that's good for me then.

[Dwarmin]

Placeholder while I work on this.

Active Effects/Abilities
Lucky: The Fey are so charming that even Death itself, sometimes turns his gaze. Once per day, an attack that would reduce you to less than 1 HP, reduces you to 1 HP instead. (Available)
Fey Aura: If you have a heart, she can touch it. Once per day, she can leverage her fey aura to turn an enemies mood in a certain way. (Available)
Innocent: Who could ever accuse a face like that of evil? Once per day, Wen-Tsu can leverage her innocence to turn an enemy and cause them to take pity on her. The enemy might choose to look the other way when you’ve done something illegal, forgive a debt you could never pay, or vouch in your favor before the authorities. (Available)

Passives
Boon Focus (Regeneration): As long the moon shines, Wen-Tsu is a beacon of life. She never fails when casting the regeneration boon. She gains advantage 2 when casting it on multiple targets.
Fey Presence: Something about Wen-Tsu reveals her inherent supernatural nature through a visible manifestation. Maybe it's the ears. Occasionally she can use your supernatural presence to gain Advantage 1 to a Presence or Persuasion action roll. From time to time the same bonus become a Disadvantage 1 instead, depending upon the beliefs and opinions of those you interact with.
Attractive: Wen-Tsu is one cute moon-rabbit-woman thing. Whenever her attractiveness would play a role in a situation, she gains advantage 1 to any relevant action rolls.

Active Effects/Abilities
Lucky: Jao might not believe in any Gods, but it doesn't hurt to ask, right? Once per day, in a moment of need, Jao can call on luck shine to upon him. What form of luck this takes is not entirely certain... (Available)

Passives
Lightning Reflexes I: Jao gains +1 Initiative from general feckishness.
Supernatural Focus (Voice, Enchantment): Jao's voice has power. Tiny, annoying power. He cannot use his Enchantment abilities without his voice, but when he does his dice are one level greater.
Well-Rounded: Jao knows everything about approximately nothing at all. Any time he makes a non-attack action roll with an attribute in which he has a score of 2 or less, he rolls an additional d20 and keep the highest of the two d20s.

Active Banes=Speed Penalty -5 (Armor), Knockdown, Hungry (Suffering 1 level of exhaustion until he eats, kicks in after battle)

Active Effects/Abilities
Inspiring Warrior: In the Karthela tribe to be great warrior and a great leader is considered one and the same. No matter how strong a warrior is if his fellows will not follow him into battle, he is powerless in war. No matter how inspiring he is if he can't lead his tribe in battle to crush a foe, he is not worthy to lead. Moubu brings these ethos of personal power and leadership forward. Once per day, if he makes a show of physical force, he can use his Might attribute for a Presence roll. If his Presence score is already equal to or greater than his Might score, he gets advantage 1 on the roll. (Available)

Passives
Blessing of Mother Hydra: Anders heals particularly quickly when in saltwater (Regeneration I when at least half his body is in salt water), and can act as though he had Sylvan ally with regard to fish, aquatic reptiles, and creatures of dark and deep aquatic places. Granted, he's also automatically detested by dogs, cats, and most wholesome creatures that walk under the light.
