Thread: Achievements in D&D

Tweet

Sample/Mock up/First try

I thought about immortality before but you must realize that there are lots of chars that would qualify for that achievement in most encounters. Namely, laser clerics, bards, archers, warlocks... (pretty much any ranged class that doesn't piss anything off too bad). If you kept the requirement the same, I would lower the reward since it will be common.


Would You Just Stand Still! - you manage to evade three successive attacks in one encounter [you gain a +1 to all defenses for one turn when you activate this achievement's reward]

Sucking Chest Wound - you spend more turns in one encounter as bloodied than you do as non-bloodied [all enemies suffer -2 to attacks against you for the rest of the encounter when you activate this achievement's reward]

Crushing End - you deal more than double the amount of damage necessary to reduce an enemy to 0 with one attack (minimum 10 damage) [your next attack in the same encounter deals an extra 1d6 damage if it hits]

Todd, that looks cool My only suggestion would be to put the full URL under instead of just .org. I would also put a marking on it like "Series 1" so that we can make them collectable!

I didn't think of that Pacmime

Change it from encounter to one attack roll/Skill check

@Matt James
Hmm...I was trying use the logo and thought that without .org people might not know where to go, but I can change that enough to make it work.

I liked Dkarr (Vic's) Format for the wording. I think we should write a "tag line" for as many of the ideas.

I was thinking the full URL could be in small print below the icon instead of just the .org. (http://www.loremaster.org)

Looks fun, Todd! Excellent job to everyone on this spur-of-the-moment community project. Once it is completed, I will try to find a way to reward you guys.

Make someone do the Flap your Arms at synDCon and I will be happy.

Use them at synDCon I will get them done by tomorrow. (Snow Day)

Definitely need a few "Dangerous Companion" for AlphaAnt's defender

These are not meant to be like RPGA cards where the player holds them. These are kind of a DM reward for things players didn't know they were working towards. Some of them are bad things that happen during games. Some are good. I picked 9 and made the cards.
After a little bit of use I will make more so players don't get wise to what the DM might have.
