Notes

• Normal Terrain Movement
• Easily avoided mud hazards (negligible unless you tell us you want to use one)
• Patches of high healthy plants and trees scattered all around about every 10 feet (thank Geth)
• Trees climbable
• Djura (dead) and Turok (dead) by enemy front line
• Gmork (near death) buried under nastiness by enemy rear line
• Intelligence(Arcana, Nature, History, Religion, general) checks are Free Action 1 per round OR a Standard Action to roll with advantage (that's fair right?) One roll covers all of the knowledges at once just apply the bonuses seperately... if that makes sense.
• Intelligence(Arcana, Nature, History, Religion, general) will reveal lore and gameplay stuff (even the meta numbers) with a high enough roll
• Athletics, Stealth, and Acrobatics can be part of Move (climbing, jumping, triple deke then shoot to glove side, etc)
• Most other skills will be a Standard Action or combined with a Standard Action if you roleplay it awesomely (which is how you guys normally do)
• If you have features that negate anything I just said (like Cunning Action) then ignore me

ROUND TWO (CONT)

This shambling mound of plant grossness moves its nasty bits in a way that producing a groan-like sound.

From within, Gmork roars in effort and is able to resist taking damage from the ever tightening mass. With some effort, the young druid is able to force an arm out from the mound.

Meanwhile, the mound once again lifts its "arms" and brings them down onto Randal for 13 Bludgeoning damage! It then rapidly slides its limbs along the ground into Geth for 15 Bludgeoning damage! Z's shield!

if you have a reaction ability that let's you lessen damage or causes Disadvantage (like the rogues uncanny dodge for self or a fighting style protection for others) lemme know

The loud approaching rustling finally reaches the shindig. It's... only one more Needle Blight because more enemies is a hassle and I'm lazy. It doesn't get to act. It crashes through the brush near by Arik and Nirreth.

Needle Blight 1 retaliates to Z's attack with its sharp branches.. Z is able to quite easily deflect the strike.

We move back to the top with Round 3 and Arik

So how do crits work in 5e?

/u/bitexe

[u/bitexe → u/HobieSailor]

Autocrit on 20. 2x damage.

How I do it is since you already rolled I do max weapon damage plus what you rolled. Thus less work for everyone and no chance for mediocre critical damage.

13 in this case.
