OOC Discussion

@Kwil: Do you have an image for your PC? Something I can use to turn into a token for the battlemap?

It will com up on your posts as you avatar, but it won't show up on the sheet itself. That's okay though, I did a reverse image search and found it.

@ctme2000: To continue our discussion about the Tireless Feat, when I CTRL+F "Tireless" in the PHB pdf I only get 2 hits, and I can't find anything in the PHB that gives Osvaldo +5 temporary Hit Points. The section on Temporary Hit Points in the PHB (page 198) uses 5 Temporary Hit Points as an example, they use, but doesn't actually apply +5 Hit Points to anything.

Looking at the Ranger Class in the Unearthed Arcana rules you built Osvaldo on, I get this:

Tireless
As an action, you can give yourself a number of
temporary hit points equal to 1d10 + your
Wisdom modifier. You can use this special action
a number of times equal to your Wisdom
modifier (a minimum of once), and you regain all
expended uses when you finish a long rest.
In addition, whenever you finish a short rest,
your exhaustion level, if any, is decreased by 1.

Do you have a PHB page number?

Hey, page 198 as well. My understanding is that the 5 temp hit points is it's own thing, not effecting my regular HP at all. Think of it as a force field around me that has 5 points. Once those 5 points are gone, it starts effecting my regular HP. If you have an email address you're willing to share, I can send a cut of the exact text I'm referring to. Don't know how to add an image in gamer's plane via the image function.

Look up the False Life spell, its a similar idea

I gotcha on how the Temporary Hit Points works out; that seems understandable enough. I'm just not understanding where the number "+5" specifically comes from. The way I'm reading it, when Osvaldo uses his Tireless Feat he rolls 1d10 and adds his +2 WIS Modifier and the result is how many Temp HP he gets, even if he's maxed out on HP as it is because they stack with current HP. But the way I'm reading it, Osvaldo roll for those Temp HP, and gets anywhere from 3-12 Temp HP depending on his d10 roll. It's not just a set-in-stone "+5 Temp HP" It's more likely going to be more than +5 depending on his d10 roll.

So as we stand, you were at 1HP. You declared to take a Short Rest AND to use your Tireless Feat. For your Short Rest you rolled your Hit Die (a d10) and got a "10" (+2 CON Mod), for a total of 12 HP regained. This puts you at 13 HP, but you max out at 12 at this level, so Osvaldo currently is at full health with 12HP.

Now if you wanted to use your Tireless Feat as well, as written up in the UA Ranger, you get to roll another d10 and add your Wisdom Modifier (also a +2 for Osvaldo). These Hit Points stack on top of your currently maxed out HP and are burned off first if you're hurt. I think I'm getting confused or hung up on the "+5" part of your explanation because I don't think the Temp HP are necessarily always a +5 across the board for your Ranger. I think they're 1d10 plus your +2 Wisdom Mod according to the Tireless description presented in the UA Ranger Class.

Does that make sense?

Yup, that's exactly it. The 5 is not a set #. I rolled 1d10 + Wis mod when using the Tireless ability and it gave me 5 temp HP. Hmm, perhaps my bad in using +5 instead of just 5, causing the confusion.

When regaining HP from a short or long rest you can never gain more then your max HP, so 12 in this case. With the 5 temp hit points on top of that.

Alright, I think my confusion was I didn't see the die roll you made, so I wasn't sure where you got the "5" from.So yeah. Osvaldo should be at 12HP + 5 Temp HP.

Hey guys. As you might've noticed I've been a bit on and off in my activity over the past few weeks, which has been due to feeling stressed, overworked and to an extent slightly depressed. I've decided to take a week or two off from GP completely to recharge my batteries. I'm more than happy to stay in the game and jump back in when I'm ready again, but I'm okay if you decide that you'd rather drop me from the game.

No, I think we can hold your place while you're gone. We can figure out where he wandered off to later. Maybe you're left to guard the cave entrance in case more goblins wander up from the trail.

I believe at Level 1 he can only Rage twice before a long rest. I think he Raged once today, but might still have another rage left. If @therecusant wishes, I'm fine with retconning it to allow rage.

In that case, Severus was using Barbarian Rage and only took 7HP Damage.

Sweet, thanks DM! Anytime @therecusant!

No worries therecusant, I botched the bridge on my turn earlier. Just fyi, you rolled d20 damage for your greataxe. It should be d12.

Also, a belated Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! This has been a fun group to play with!

Thanks @ctme2000. I’ll correct the roll, although I think I missed anyway.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!
