Is there any monster/move in the game that explicitly uses stun damage?
Is there any monster/move in the game that explicitly uses stun damage? It’s defined on page 22 but i haven’t seen it anywhere else in the game.
Is there any mechanical reason why there are no range-weapon damage boost moves? There is Blot out the sun but that isn’t giving you extra damage on a hit.
DW question from a german forum.
DW question from a german forum.
When you take an animal companion/command with your Multiclass Move – you don’t get the other one for free, do you?
I say you don’t. If you take only the AC he is still usefull for stuff (trainings etc.), even without Command. If you take Command you can still go and find an animal to train. It won’T be as “safe” as an animal companion and ysou have no control over the stats/traits but you can go and start to train it etc.
What do you say?

We just ended our first session (play by community) rather abruptly as a horror from out of reality basically destroyed the dungeon.
They went to investigate a meteor that fall from the sky, found it to be highly magical and fought a half-scorpion construct after the bard had seen all of time and space happening (more or less). The same bard then summoned a weird lovecraftian horror, by accident, that destroyed the whole magic of the place. (short form)
I will try to post every important Discussion threat here so you can see everything that went on.
Disclaimer, we lost the player of Baragus halfway through.

Sir Valentine calls his companions for his quest:
I, Sir Valentine of Belverus, Knight of the Nemedian Order of Chroniclers am on a quest to uncover the truth of the Adessian meteor. Thusly, I am marked with golden sunlight shining through my eyes to show I am on a holy quest. I have likewise vowed to hold the highest standards of honor and truth during my quest.
However, I am but a humble servant of my god and my order. If you, my good friends should wish to accompany me, I would welcome your companionship and rest assured that your names will be written in the chronicles for future generations to read about, with more than a little awe!

When you Cast a Spell you may speak your spell backwards to cast it with inverted effect.
Anything one should think about when having a Barfight? Damage is just “stun damage” and use basic moves as normal?

I was thinking of just using Carouse for this maybe.
Non lethal fighting is not really something that is adressed in DW – or is it?
Would this move work?

When you perform trickster magic to trick, ridicule or humor someone roll+ CHA
And then you have to choose from a list like that
10+ 2 and 3/4 on a 7-9
(still unsure)
-you have to speak the spell in rhyme
-you have to touch the person
-it has weird side effects
-there will be consequences for you too
-you can only do a weaker/related effect, not exactly like you wanted
Not a new monster per se BUT…
Not a new monster per se BUT…
When you stare at a weeping angel, trying not to blink, roll+CON
On a 10+ choose only 1
On a 7-9 choose 2
– It still comes slowly closer
– Looking at it, you miss something important around you
– Starring at it is not good for your eyes. Take a WIS Debility
when you have come back from death and had glimpses into the realm of spirits or if you found a way to turn yourself…

This actually started out as a Ghost Pact Warlock and then turned into this.

Did i do the right thing here?
Did i do the right thing here?
I had a scene coming up in our Play by Community.
The adventurers have found themselves in a big entrance hall with a giant, reality warping goo monster and a group of foreign looking attackers shooting that thing with crossbows.
The fighter then goes to do this :
“Wait Wait!” Llyurim catches up to the others. “What are you doing? We don’t even …” she looks at the others for a moment. “You have as little idea what’s going on here, as I, right? So…. ummm” A grin forms on her face. “Shouldn’t we just ask?” Llyurim is about to step forward and shout out, if no one stops her.
“Hey, you there! What the hell do you think you are doing there? Get away from that thing!”
I want to move quite somewhat to the side as to draw a bit of attention away from the rest of the group.
Now my first instinct was. Ouh, he just goes to this on-the-edge/battle crazy bad guys to say hello without any precaution? Golden Opportunity – bang. Eat a crossbowbolt. I deal damage.
What i did instead was being a fan of the character and offered an opportunity to show why he is cool.
My post:
One of the beings turns around in surprise and aims it’s crossbow at you, firing in panic. Normaly i’d say you just take damage but you are THE Fighter. What does that mean anyway? What makes you THE Fighter?
And is it enough to dodge a crossbow bolt like that?
Fighters Response:
Why would I dodge a crossbow bolt, and give away how awesome my reflexes are, when I can just pull my shield up and let it impact there? 😉
What makes me THE FIGHTER is my ability to believe I can FACE situations, where others would RUN AWAY or seek to CIRCUMVENT it. I can conquer my fear – although some doubtlessly envious tongues say, that it is because I act before I think – and I know the way to prevail in this world is to face worthy threats, beat them and earn their wisdom, or return to fight another day, hopefully wiser then.
Being a fighter is not about being the strongest, though. It is just a means to an end: When you are in control, you can protect your friends and allies and you can determine where the darkness in the world is allowed to dwell.
Is this okay to just give the fighter this “free block?” I mean this could be Defy Danger right? this has to be defy danger with a 7-9: you have to show them your awesome reflexes by jumping out of the way. They won’t underestimate you now.
But anyway, the moment is gone.
(he still has to make a When you interact with someone and don’t share a common way of speaking or doing business roll because of what these guys are)
What would you have done in this situation?
