  • Use old eggs. New eggs sink to bottom of a glass of water and lay on their side, old eggs will sink but stand up, bad eggs float.

    Get the water boiling before adding the eggs.

    Cook for twelve minutes.

    Remove from water and immediately place them in an ice bath.

    Tap the flat end and then roll its side on a hard surface to crack.

    Pick off bits of shell in a vertical line from the flat to the point making sure to remove the film under the shell.

    Peel of the remainder horizontally.

    Eat all damaged eggs.



  • Plus you could drop his HP to something like what he would get if he rolled a 2 every level (20+attribute+feats at level 10) so he wouldn’t be significantly more durable.

    This is a great idea, I had thought about him having lower health but didn’t think of how to do that mechanically.

    Keep in mind that physically active people tend to stay physically active so unless you give him an injury, became sedentary for some reason

    I had the idea that after getting married, he definitely became more sedentary. Thematically, I planned on him burying his sword and armor in the back yard and eventually starting a garden to ‘stay close to his roots’ pun intended. Mildly active, but definitely not fighting shape.

    Or you could just use the Veteran NPC statblock and give them a few of the abilities from your list instead of using character creation rules.

    Someone else suggested something similar and might be the right way to approach it. I definitely will look into this.

    Thanks for your input


  • Interesting, I didn’t know aging used to be a mechanic in dnd. I will definitely read into that.

    Maybe dial it down somewhat to something that will trigger, but not as often.

    That’s a really good point. Maybe a dc4 or 5? 20-25% chance.

    Also having to roll another check and d4 damage sounds like it would add a lot of time to his turns.

    I wasn’t going to add another check, more if he missed an attack. That being said I didn’t take this into account, I don’t want him hogging time for sure. Maybe he loses at turn if he misses an attack. Resistance to mental attacks sounds like a good idea too.

    Thank you for your feedback, I will definitely take it into account
