SPOILER: Oh man! If they were to go to the Duke and tell them that Ophelia has died from being attacked by demons in his city I imagine he would feel absolutely ashamed and would pay for the materials for her resurrection. As a prideful red dragon, an important foreign diplomat being attacked and killed in the streets of his own city by demons would be astoundingly embarrasing and shameful for him, and I'm sure he would worry about the implications from Ossius about one of their own, and an emissary no less, being murdered in his domain.

I will say one thing: MAJOR respect for everyone at the table, specially Mark and Rhi, for sticking to the rules. I've seen a lot of people, even in actual play, just come up with the most blatantly metagamy excuses when the dice don't go their way and for me that's just not fun. This just cements High Rollers as my favorite TTRPG show even more.

Fantastic episode once again. Really enjoyed the interaction between Gruffudd and the Knight. And Xantheus being consumed with power. Really cool, looking forward to the next episode to see what will happen. But about these fate dices And honestly my opinion is genuinely irrelevant given my complete lack of experience of DnD, but i'll voice it anyway. I like the idea of the fate dices, especially if used for some of the things Mark said in the past like to create a connection with an NPC and so on, or to do some of the really epic things like when Mark allowed Rowan to shove that huge xenomorph way back, or what Mark did this episode allowing Gruffudd to spend a fate dice to use his reaction to catch Ophelia . I think those are the moments where fate dices are the most interesting and engaging. However when used in general combat, like boosting attack rolls for players, and boosting damage rolls for the enemies, i think they become less satisfying. Boosting an attack roll, it can potentially help turn a near miss into a hit, and that may impact the party's chances of winning the engagement, but, and i'm happy to be proven wrong here, most of the times that the players used it, with the exception of the very first -test run - of this mechanic where Mark allowed the party to use fate dices after rolling, it didn't changed anything, because their initial roll was already enough to hit or they rolled so low anyway that the fate dice didn't gave enough to turn into a hit, very rarely does it happen that the fate dice actually turn what would be a miss into a hit. So they essentially waste a fate dice, and not only that, they gave a fate dice to the DM who will use it to boost his damage against the party. And this happens during the early levels of DnD, where the party has very few options for healing. Anyway, just my own uneducated opinion on this homebrew mechanic. So far, it feels like a mechanic that is overly punishing because the benefits of having a small chance turning a near miss into a hit, don't seem to outweight the amount of damage that the party takes due to how many fate dices they "wasted" on bad - or really good attack rolls that don't benefit from the fate dice.
@Luke_was_here
@Luke_was_here Ай бұрын
Took the words out of my mouth. Overall I think the narrative benefits 100% outweigh the mechanical downsides, but I still don't love how in regular combat it's become "spend a dice that might not even help in exchange for guaranteed incoming damage later". Maybe if Mark had to call whether he's going to boost damage before even rolling to hit? End of the day, the party's having fun, and it's an entertaining watch no matter what. I'm sure there's been plenty of internal back-and-forth over the fate dice system, and if it doesn't change that'll be because the players are happy with it.
@Mystery_Cultist
@Mystery_Cultist Ай бұрын
The thing is, Mark isn't super incentivised to use his fate dice without combat. The cool player driven moments are awesome to watch when the players do it, less so if Mark counters them every time with a 'gotcha' moment. It's not fun to ruin the player's plans every time with the dice. And although it may feel like the +d6 to hit isn't doing a lot, it's a 'free' bardic inspiration whenever they want. Killing enemies faster is always the best combat strategy and adding 10 to 60% chance to hit is too good to pass up on, especially if they're trying to hit enemies with huuge AC that they will do in a few levels. Even if they've been unlucky, eventually the maths will balance out. The concept of 'bounded accuracy' is a good one to look at for why random bonuses to hit are great. In the end, if they didn't want to suffer the consequences, they'd play more conservatively with them. I think it's fun with the flow of fate going back and forth as both sides desperately try to make use out of the resources they have, especially when they end in awesome sessions like this one. Not to say you're wrong in who you feel the mechanics have favoured and your prefered usage of the dice, just that I think that all the uses are great. The tension of a combat starting with Mark having 5 fate dice is great.
@Luke_was_here
@Luke_was_here Ай бұрын
Honestly so fair about fate usage outside of combat, I don't think I put enough weight on that in my initial reply - and yeah, the math is going to favour the party more and more as levels increase: we might be having this same conversation for the opposite reasons in 100 episodes' time, even. Also, in retrospect, calling it "guaranteed" damage wasn't reasonable - it's not like he boosts every single hit, just the ones that'll ratchet up the tension, which makes for a better story. I will say that I'm not sure the party necessarily can play more conservatively to prevent fate consequences, as there's the looming threat of certain enemies siphoning fate points regardless, but the outcome is a much more exciting back-and-forth anyway, like you said.
@joaozin156
@joaozin156 Ай бұрын
Right, maybe in the future i'll have a different opinion of the fate dices. And obviously if the players are enjoying it, that's all that matters, and this is essentially just a pointless internet argument. I just feel that if I were using it this mechanic while playing, It wouldn't feel all that great using the fate dice when getting either a really high number on my d20 making the fate dice utterly pointless, or getting really low, and still not getting enough to hit, knowing that i very likely just gave either my character or another party member an extra d6 of damage for basically not benefit.
@Luke_was_here
@Luke_was_here Ай бұрын
It's only pointless if we choose to take nothing away from it - and on the contrary, I feel we've come to a more solid grasp on what we like and what we'd change about the fate dice system, if we ever decide to implement it in our own games.

1:46:27 I played with a DM that home-brewed that a nat 20 on a saving throw meant that the character takes no damage, even on spells that should cause half damage on a fail. Basically made it so that nat 20s weren't "wasted" on saving throws. It was cool.
@bokavordur
@bokavordur Ай бұрын
I like Pathfinder 2e using degrees of success. Simply everything has crit fail, fail, success, and crit success. Sometimes they are the same (fail and crit fail do the same for example) and crit fail are rolling 10 less than the DC, while crit success are 10 above the DC. Rolling a Nat 20 no matter what increases one stage of success. So even if your wisdom is low and your total roll is only 20 and the DC was like 21 you still get a success, whereas if you had a +1 and rolled a Nat 20 it would automatically become a critical success. Confusing at first, but very rewarding and fair!

Just because I'm a maths nerd, I will say, for Tom's d18 it IS a decent enough option if you are good with the risk. 3d6 has a bell curve that makes 10 and 11 have a 12.5% chance each and 3 and 18 both having 0.46% each. Meanwhile a d18 is 5.56% for each face. Which includes 1 and 2, which DOES make your odds of lower numbers stronger. It's basically worse because it provides 2 additional possiblilities that are awful for the benefit of only 18 permutations. Very swingy. Same logic of a greatsword vs greataxe using 2d6 vs 1d12 Would I use it? Oh God no. But it is a fun dice option to have for the gimmick 😂

Just caught up. Usually I don’t complain about the events of a game of d&d because its just cool just being able to watch. But i really feel that the fate dice combining with homebrew crit rules is insane. Combining that with the loss of typical healing methods (potions) and like yikes. Ironically, from my view, this is the type of rule set where “super hero” style pcs would more typically excel at vs the type of “everyday-isque” pc. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to revive a character in D&D so I do not necessarily see this being a long term thing. But it definitely fees meh as of now. Still good overall.

Bloody hell, what an episode! I have got a query but it is major spoilers so look away! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Earlier in the episode when somebody rolled a nat 20 Mark said that the critical roll didn't affect the poison so it wasn't increased but then when he rolled a nat 20 right at the end to kill Rhi, he mentioned it was because of the nat 20 and when asked said it was poison damage. Are these instances the same thing or is it a different kind of damage because I am majorly confuddled!

@toyodacanada Ай бұрын
I am assuming the first one was a poison applied that was a saving throw rather than attack roll based, with the second instance being all attack roll

Theoretical with fate dice and death saves. Say I use fate while on 1 fail and get a 20 and a 1. The 1 causes 2 failures but 20 revives. Am I an undead now?
@monkeyismadd1825
@monkeyismadd1825 Ай бұрын
The fate dice aren't advantage, they are adding 1D6 so there would only be 1 roll of the D20

iirc Ophelia left him back at the inn to clean up, so as not to upset the guild masters at the dinner.

Could Daisy use her telepathy ability through a person seen by scrying? Could she use it eventually to see someone she can "see" in her mind (basically the sending spell).

Ever since Mark started homebrewing so many rules I have struggled to enjoy watching. Especially the combat with all the extra chip damage thrown in, don't have fun when it feels like not everyone at the table is. May be out after this one.

Slight spoiler! Highrollers have been rolling as many nat 20's as crit role recent city escape and second fight against Otohan. In fact given the ending of both episodes there are actually a lot of parallels..
