Mimics can be very scary. in c/[email protected]

A long time ago I did spend a few months experimenting with ratios to make my own cookie recipe, it makes really good chocolate chip cookies. Not very christmassy though.

But, if we're going to get into DM advice, the way I'd recommend stopping "anything could be a mimic" from getting old is to have it constrained to a themed side-adventure, or a one-shot. For example: A wizard tower where the guy's one weird hobby was breeding and training mimics. In such an adventure, you want to start fairly tame, but towards the end, the more outlandish and ridiculous the better.

As for the constraints on mimic forms, most of my DnD based jokes use 5e as their basis, as that's what the majority of my audience are likely using.

Honestly, the system you run for new players should depend on who those players are, their preferences, and comfort levels with related things you can use to judge their preferences. A group of hardcore eurogame boardgamers are going to be a lot more comfortable learning a complex rule system than my in-laws.

Did someone say "Bonus Konsi"?

Nothing in the rules that says contacting "a deity" means it has to be YOUR deity... in c/[email protected]

I think it was something like 10d8, plus poisoned condition until removed.

You could absolutely just put 25 gold pieces in a pile and cast the spell, but Konsi's such a tryhard...

I think this largely comes from being a protagonist in a DnD campaign for a long time, especially a roleplay heavy one. DnD characters naturally build a portfolio of exploits that any NPC character would think insane to accomplish.

If you want the true gigachad energy though, the spell she used to contact Talona was Divination, which requires a sacrifice to the deity in question, worth at least 25gp.

Konsi thinks it's good etiquette to make your sacrifice something the deity would approve of. For example, when she contacted Selune, she crafted some art-piece quality functional navigational tools out of silver and used those as the component in the spell.

As Talona is the goddess of poison and decay, Konsi decided that a suitable "sacrifice" would be a bottle of lethal, slow acting poison. She spent a few days gathering appropriate herbs and mushrooms, made the poison, then promptly drank it to sacrifice it.

I took a bit of a break from comics over October, so there wasn't updates then. (Although this is where the bonus Konsis are coming from)

Some people suggested that breaking up tall comics into two images within the post body would help readability in their client, so here's that.

We're over the exposition hump now, so hopefully following comics will have smaller/fewer speech bubbles.

Apologies for tall comic again, I don't see a way in the lemmy interface to let me upload multiple images in one post (which would let me break it up.) - in the web interface, if you keep clicking on the image it'll become full size eventually, or you can open in a new tab and zoom in, or look at it at one of my other places

The spell Konsi's talking about is "Fortune's Favour" - it's level 2, consumes a 100gp pearl to cast, and lets you re-roll a single D20 within the next hour. It's in Explorer's Guide to Wildmount.

It's been a little while due to drawtober, and my website is (mostly) functional again, so if you want to read all the Konsi comics from the beginning, you can do so on my website at this link. Please be advised that these posts are presented in reverse chronological order, so start at the end and work backwards.

This is Konsi, she's a DnD cleric who just wants to help people, but who suffers from imposter syndrome. I'm currently drawing her daily for drawtober.

Hope you all enjoy!

You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear heavier or lighter. You must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs as you have. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you.
