It's a fun one-shot :)

For context, they managed to successfully accomplish an impossible task (defeating a Lich with it's minions) to save their tribe's armoury and magical item stash. So their master, an Ancient Red Dragon, will give them an item from his own collection

If you check my comment, I will show you my current Dying condition that I have been able to test on the field.

It's 80 % the one from XP to level 3, with a few things changed and actually used in a DND game :)

Enjoy

You can of course plan the big lines of the campaign, but the more precise you get and far ahead of the present, the more you will either lose or railroad to not lose. Both suck

So, this is my own version of XP to level 3's idea to let player play until they are completely dead. I.e., they can still do stuff at 0 hp... for a price. Enjoy.

Condition Dying

Pas pour les NPCs, le but est de garder les joueurs en vie.

Quand les points de vie atteignent 0, le personnage tombe Prone et devient Dying

Au début du tour, on commence par les Death saving throws.

Ensuite, le personnage peut soit :

Bouger (prone = moitié de mouvement). Coût : gratuit

Parler en mourrant. Coût = gratuit

Action. Coût = 3 niveaux d'Exhaustion

Bonus Action. Coût = 1 niveau d'Exhaustion

Réaction. Coût = 1 niveau d'Exhaustion

Il n'est pas possible de se relever.

Exhaustion :

Sur les d20

1 = -1

2 = -2

... ...

9 = -9

10 = mort

Récupération

Premier short rest = - 1 Exhaustion

Long rest = - 2 Exhaustion

So, I found the PERFECT theme song for when my boss fight will start. Let's play a game. Here it is. Can you guess what my boss is ? Hints : they are level 14, they are 4, and it's still deadly. Answer :

You know that situation. You have a player or players doing something awesome. You give them an inspiration. And they say : I already have one.

It sucks because the system is made that you can only have one at a time. Sure it encourages them to use them, but not always. And if a player is awesome twice without a big die roll he just won't have the time to use it.

One time I was fed up and made this item on the fly : the bottled inspiration.

Its an item that you gain when you get an inspiration and already have one. Its weightless. It takes an action to "drink" it and regain an inspiration, so you cannot do it back to back. And there is no limit to how many you can carry. One of my players made it to 8 one time.

I never had the displeasure of not being able to recompense a player and its been over 2 years using them without drawbacks.

I highly suggest to think of this next time you hear that sad response of already having one.

That's love players, your DM is trying to save you :)
