This and Flame Spheres. Those were a lot of fun.

We were camping inside the cathedral where you find Withers. Specifically, we made camp in the room where the 4 people attack you. I didn't realize it was a proximity thing. Thanks for the input. That game may be salvageable after all.

I'd be surprised if this is a rising trend knowing how the cost of eggs has increased over the last couple of years. Just seems like a terrible waste.

I like to separate my bars into Action vs Bonus Action as well as separate spells based on their spell level so I can keep better track of what I have, what is left, what actions are available.

I also collect pouches and backpacks to place objects in. My first pouch is healing and helpful potions. My second pouch is throwables, dipping materials, and arrows (anything to harm someone in combat). My third pouch is for scrolls on the characters that carry/use scrolls. I also put my shovel and anything else I want to have on me but want to accidentally sell it within a pouch. I then place the pouches on my hotbar on the far right instead of the individual objects (except for shovel). So during combat I know if I need to take a potion, it's in the top bag, harmful items in the middle bag and scrolls in the bottom bag.

I have my bars extended to 3 vertical slots.

Re: skills and spells not falling off, I unfortunately do not have a solution.

Oh it was the hiccup at camp indeed! I explained it in more detail in a separate reply. Loving the game but hate to ruin someone else's enjoyment of revealing storylines :)

Here's the spoiler:

spoiler___ I was a level 4 Dark Urge Oathbreaker Paladin. I broke my oath before the first rest and the Oathbreaker Knight came to our camp. I spoke with him and agreed to be an Oathbreaker. Next day, we visit the Druid Camp where I spoke with, and played a song with the tiefling, Alfira. I won my rolls and she gave me the lute.

I continue on my adventure and head to the place where Withers lives, clearing out that area, and after a few fights realize I need to long rest. We set up camp there and to my surprise Alfira comes to talk with me wanting to join us. I agree to this and finally hit the bedroll.

My character wakes up in the middle of the night to a violently dead Alfira and blood all over me. Clearly my dark urge did something that I couldn't control. I cleaned everything up and went back to sleep.

Upon awakening my party sees the horror of the bloody tiefling corpse and I told them I didn't know what happened but think it could have been me, hoping for some sort of understanding from my party members. While they were startled but willing to work with me to help figure out what is wrong with me, the Oathbreaker Knight wasn't having any of it and immediately puts us in combat with him.

He is a level 12 Paladin with all 3 auras of each subclass of paladin on him with about 230 hitpoints. Now there's no way my party can kill him. I can't even hit him. So my options are 1) go back to a much earlier save and have another character try to interact with Alfira or just ignore her completely 2) respec my whole character, making it another class or 3) reroll from the begining and don't choose the Dark Urge character.

I am in a co-op game and thinking the Dark Urge is likely to give us further problems down the road and I was looking forward to this character being a Bardadin for reasons, hence my interaction with Alfira in the first place. We ultimately chose to reroll the same classes, leaving the Dark Urge out for a solo run later down the line, as we had been planning this campaign for a bit and don't want to encounter further surprises that might stop us in our tracks like this one.

Trying to become a more "active" listener. My brain tends to want to immediately come up with a response without fully waiting to hear the whole conversation. Hence often, I speak before I think and/or before the person I was listening to was finished talking. I am trying to quiet my brain until the speaker finishes their commentary before I pause and work on a thoughtful reply as opposed to blurting out the first thing that comes to my mind.

Do you have hide read posts as an option? Sync will hide all posts including pinned ones if you read them. Might want to play around with those settings.
