Out of Character

It seems rather dire, though if any of you want to metagame a little bit, here's some info. Don't look if you prefer not to know some monster stats.

on a wholey fun aside. I have been working on praciting using AI to add images to playing. Here is what I got trying to get art of Kelnes fighting those Sea Serpents

Not bad! Ive been doing the same thing :)

I haven't really be able to get into the ai art yet. Not sure where to go or what techniques to use. I tried lionardo.ai, but either i'm using it wrong or the free version is hard to use

I typically go to the nightcafe website and use their ai stuff... pretty simple an mostly free.

Yeah, cantrips use your character level, not the level of the class that gave you the cantrip.

if you want to just use all the cantrips and nothing else, there is a build combination where at level 20 you have like 36-37 different cantrips. it would be terrible but the cantrips would be just as strong as anyone else' cantrips potentially

Correct me if I am wrong but 11 of the 30 damage was poison? So 19 bludgeoning/piercing.

With resistence I get hit for 20.

Edit: then healed for 13.

Kelnes is mentioned 4 times, one for constrict and three for bite. The constrict hit for 7 bludgeoning damage. Then, 2 of the 3 bites hit (the last missed, hence the red x). Of the 2 bites, the first did 5 piercing (1d4+3) and 6 poison (2d6), while the second did 7 piercing and 5 poison.

As such, that breaks down to:
Bludgeoning/Piercing: 7 + 5 + 7 for 19
Poison: 6 + 5 for 11

When using resistance, it never says to round up so you round down, so 19 becomes 9. Thus, 9 + 11 is 20, correct

I would actually argue that, with resistance, Kelnes took a total of 8 damage from bludgeoning/piercing.

Resistance is against each hit. Thus, 7+5+7 becomes 3+2+3. (After rounding down, of course.)

Good point. That checks out.

Granted, it's never going to be a big difference, but I think we've all had a character barely standing at 1hp. Never know if it'll matter.

didn't matter

edit: I am hanging on 1HP

on the plus side, I have advantage on death saving throws. So that Nat20, get to 1 HP and be up is like 25% on 3 turns of death saving throws.

you might not be done updating, but is there a reason I have a failed death save? I only had 1 roll so far and it was a success and the 2nd strike against him missed even with advantage (which was already there)

I'd like to believe you forgot Isaia put a Cloak of Stars on this post as a result - attack rolls have disadvantage against you

Right, I misremembered and thought the second attack hit, which would have actually been 2 failures. I'll erase that.
Removed one of the damages. You only took 13 damage

Does Isiah's healing take effect "before" my turn and I am technically up and have my own turn I can take then? The initiative isn't as structured but for the record, Isiah and Kelnes got the same initiative roll. Isiah has a higher Dex score/initiative modifier, so in a more structured turn order Kelnes would be good with full actions?

I tend to find that. Play-by-posts combat goes a little smoother if players and enemies are grouped so that the players or enemies can go in the order that makes the most sense to them each round. As such, Isaiah and Kelnes can go in either order each round.
