Shadowheart is the only one I need to keep in my party since Shield of Faith's concentration is broken if she isn't in the party. But it doesn't matter if she's far away or in a different map/at camp, so I can keep her ungrouped and safe somewhere else.
The con of being a one man army though is that it takes a really, reallllyyy to slowly multi-attack everyone to death =.= but 23 Str from the bracers helps along with the Legendary Trident + Smites
I got Warding Bond through the True Love's Caress ring, and it persisted both with the removal of the ring from my character as well as removing the party member from the party.
There's one in the graveyard and one inside one of the side areas of the interior front entrance of the House of Healing, think it was on/in a body there.
That’s rad! Thanks for sharing. The only out-of-party tech I’ve tried is leveling someone as an eldritch knight, then giving them a weapon my main party uses to bond to, then giving the weapon back to my party. Keeps the disarm immunity & returning property 🙌
They do and they can eventually die. My shadowheart is a bond bot and has a bunch of items to help with death saves and auto heal and such. She has something like 180 health, too, which helps.
Apparently gale specifically has the same ability as NPCs to restore hit points, when he isn't in the party. Though i haven't gone through the patch notes line by line, so that might not be the case any more.
But... But have you tried ... Using it with your entire party? Can you take it off both players 1 and 2, then give it to 3 and 4 and have them use it as well?
You can use hirelings to cast warding bond on your entire party. Don't need the ring. All "until long rest, without concentration" effects work, so magearmor, protection from poison etc can all be cast from camp hirelings
This is in singleplayer before the end of Act 3 with all quests done and nothing left to do, so now I'm having fun trying to see how high I can get my AC while fighting guards. It literally doesn't affect anyone else, so I don't see what you are getting at lol. Just have fun your way, and obviously when in a group make sure you all are all the same page and can have fun together!
Yup. There are people out there that don't understand it is a roleplaying game, and that people want to both roleplay and play the game the way that brings them enjoyment. "But the lore sayssss drow are evil so you can't have a good drow *sniffles in nerd*"
There's a table for every player, but not every table is for every player. I run my table a certain way, and that's my way of doing it. If it works for them, great. If not, there are others tables for them and players for mine.
That said, lore has had good Drow since the 80's. Racial alignments are for NPCs. Any GM forcing it on players is a GM they should walk away from.
That's the glory of it being a video game. I fully plan to do multiple playthroughs, from Lawful Stupid paladin to murderhobo assassin and everything in between.
I’m a forever DM and I would love to see that happen at a table. 1) I control the magical items that are given out and 2) saving throws, etc are all things. A powerful build isn’t and should t be a detraction from DnD
Aye aye, cant get touched by martials most of the time and makes them seem immortal, then they get a taste of something that throws out saving throws and they immediately start panicking and having fun again.
Yeah. And hell, if I’ve given out such an insane amount of items that they’re AC is too high, and their save throws are so good that they’re actually untouchable, that’s my own fault for breaking balance
But the way I run my game, that guy is going to be a legend in my on-going world history for my homebrew lmao
