How do I damage a mob through command blocks? So, in Logstoneable's video where he makes the fire wand damage a wolf, he doesn't explain how to do it. I'm wondering, how do you do it? I recently started a command block thingy where you throw a snowball, and largeexplosion particles trail behind it, and after 4 seconds, it explodes. Hey, guys I just started playing yesterday, and I am on floor 8 when i attack the yetis im only doing 1 damage. I checked all my gear stats and have the highest gear level 68 for the floor (weapon level 20) and a level 60 2 star sword (weapon level 40) from the previous floor. Idk why im only doing 1 damage and having to pop a lot of potions. Mob Levels: Allow mobs to scale in level and increase in power based on where and how they spawned, having scaled health, damage, and more abilities as they level! Threat Tables: Allow mobs to use Threat Tables, granting increased power and control over their targeting behaviors and causing mobs to behave more like those in RPGs. หน้านี้แก้ไขล่าสุดเมื่อวันที่ 16 มิถุนายน 2562 เวลา 23:05; เนื้อหาอนุญาตให้เผยแพร่ภายใต้ CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 เว้นแต่ระบุไว้เป็นอย่างอื่น Game content and materials are trademarks and copyrights of their.

The game of minecraft becomes very easy when you have an access to a tool which helps you to know the amount of damage that you have been able to inflict on the mobs.
Running large numbers of creatures is conceptually neat, but often impractical. What rules or techniques do people use to make them easier, or more interesting? The gang rules in Apocalypse World (website, PDF) and its derivatives are cool examples, but I don't know if they translate easily to D&D.Cyrene creatures evoluate in time. From Vu to Vu they change according to players activity. Those which were easy and were hunted quite alot, can get more deadly, those who were forgotten, get weaker but higher in number.
Jun 11, 2019 Open a DMG file in Windows. Though there isn’t much you can do with a.dmg file within Windows, there are ways to open the platform within your computer. Despite the differences between the core of Mac OS and Windows 10,.dmg files can be read with the assistance of third-party apps. Aug 13, 2018 So How Do I Use DMG Files? Well, luckily macOS does an excellent job of making everything easy. All you really need to do is double-click the DMG file to open it and mount it to your Mac. The DMG mounts in two places: on your desktop and in the Finder sidebar under your hard drive. Clicking either one of these opens the DMG file. Open dmg files mac. After installing DMG Extractor, all you have to do is double-click your DMG file to open it up. You can browse the files right in the DMG Extractor window if you just want to see what’s inside the DMG file. If you need to extract the file, click the “Extract” button on.

I’ve been playing a bit too much Vermintide, a.k.a. Left4Skaven, recently, and it’s a seriously fun game if you just want to play a dwarf shooting ratmen all day every day.
Playing the game has got me thinking that a D&D game in the style of Vermintide would be pretty sweet. However, keeping track of the number of monsters you generally get in Vermintide would be a serious drain on the DM’s mental faculties. Thankfully, the genius designer Kevin Crawford has made a very good and simple system for handling large mobs of creatures for his game Godbound which, because of the shared DNA between D&D and Godbound, converts neatly into D&D.
First of all, a couple of notes about mobs: a mob is a large number of creatures. Not a discrete amount, but somewhere around a dozen or so. Larger mobs are possible, but these rules assume that a single mob can fit into a large room all at once. Secondly, these rules assume that you’re not playing on a grid with exact measures, but with a very abstract system where exact positioning doesn’t often matter. Thirdly, for the sake of rules a mob is regarded as a single creature, although due to its amorphous nature it has a few special rules.
Making a mob is simple: take a monster (I’m assuming a humanoid monster: these rules probably won’t scale well with other types of creatures). Double its hit dice. Add ten hit dice. Done. The rest of the mob’s statistics remain the same: it has the same attacks and damage, armor class, ability bonuses and skills as a single creature of its type.
When the mob uses an attack action it can attack every enemy engaged with it once. This means that if a group of five adventurers is fighting a mob of kobolds in a room, the mob will get to attack each of the five adventurers once.
The best way to defend against a mob is to simply limit their approach: this can be achieved best by taking them on in a bottleneck. In such a situation the mob can obviously only target the characters defending the bottleneck. However, the mob can easily overwhelm even the staunchest defender: a mob can still attempt to move through a defending character. The defending character has a choice of simply letting them through (although they still get an opportunity attack) or to try to stop them: this is resolved as an opposed Strength check, but the mob always counts as having Advantage on the check simply due to sheer numbers. Furthermore, if the position is simply too large for the character to cover they suffer Disadvantage on their check. Do note that simply having another character aiding you is enough to give you Advantage as per usual. Should the mob win the check the defending character (or characters if there was another one aiding them) falls prone and the mob can move past them unhindered. Should the mob lose their advance is stopped and the defending character gets to make an opportunity attack as an added bonus.
Area of effect attacks and other abilities that can hit multiple creatures at once always deal their maximum damage to a mob. So, a Wizard throwing a 8d6 fireball at a mob will always deal 48 points of damage to the mob. If there are any non-mob creatures in the area, roll damage on them as normal. As per usual, the mob can still make a saving throw should the spell allow for one.
For the sake of monster abilities that are based on the monster having an ally at hand the mob always counts as having an ally nearby. This makes kobolds and hobgoblins perfect for mobs, incidentally.
Let’s take the example of a mob of kobolds to analyze this for a moment: a single kobold has 2d6-2 hit points. Doubling that and adding ten gives us 14 hit dice, or 14d6-14 after accounting for Constitution modifiers. A mob of kobolds thus has an average of 35 hit points, the same as 7 kobolds.
A mob of kobolds is better for the DM than having to run 7 kobolds separately because they don’t need to keep track of individual positioning for each kobold. It also reduces the amount of attacks that need to be made for the kobolds to at most one per PC. On the other hand, the mob by its amorphous and abstract nature does not allow for the DM to use underhanded tactics to such a great extent, and a mob is best used with other monsters.
A mob of kobolds is a mixed bag for the players: on one hand, the mob has a single pool of hit points, meaning that if a character deals more than enough damage to kill a single kobold, none of that is wasted. On the other hand, since the mob has a single pool of hit points the mob can attack as if it were at full strength (i.e. attack each PC once per turn) all the way until it drops.
To make a larger mob, simply double or triple the mob’s hit dice. A mob with double the hit dice of a normal mob can easily represent a military squad, while a mob with triple the hit dice is probably already a small warband. In doing so the mob’s number of attacks also increases: a mob with double the hit dice of a normal mob gets two attacks against each creature engaged with it, and so on.
One thing to consider: mobs make for boring combat encounters by themselves. Their abstract nature means that if you simply throw a mob at the PCs the combat easily becomes a boring slog as the players whittle at the mob until it runs out of hit points. The mob is best used as a background element or an extra complication in a combat against a more interesting enemy or group of enemies. But that warrants another post.
A note on the sleep spell: since in 5th edition a sleep spell puts to sleep 5d8 hit points worth of monsters, assume that if used against a mob it simply deals that many hit points of damage to the mob. No need to make it more complicated than that.

The 5e DMG has a short section on “handling mobs:” it has a chart for approximating, out of a group of attacking monsters, how many monsters hit.
The division 1.8 highest dmg weapons list. It’s pretty simple: subtract attacker’s hit bonus from the target’s AC. Cross-index that number on the chart. If the number is 1-5, all the attackers hit; if it’s 6-12, 1/2 of them hit; etc., up to 1 in 20 of the attackers hitting on a 20.
I ran a big set-piece battle yesterday: 8 mid-level PCs and 10 gnomes against 20+ drow and other assorted creatures, including a drow spider chariot and a sinister angel. With a wizard and a sorcerer PC and two drow wizards, all slinging fireballs, the mob attacks weren’t much of a factor. With all those fireballs, what I COULD have used was rules for mob saving throws.
If I’d thought about it, I’d have realized that the same chart can be used for saving throws. Instead of subtracting attack bonus from AC, subtract saving throw bonus from DC, and use the chart as normal. For instance, a fireball save DC of 15, minus the drow dex save (+2) is 13, which, according to the chart, means that 1/3 of the drow succeed on their saving throw (and probably survive with 1 or 2 HP left).
In fact, this same chart can be used for ability/skill checks (how many orcs managed to climb the wall? DC minus skill bonus) or any other d20 roll.
To me, it seems this is all you need to run fairly simple battles with dozens or hundreds of creatures per side. The amount of HP tracking is not excessive: for instance, in this unit of 50 ogres, 24 have 15 damage and the other 25 have 30 damage. (For ease of bookkeeping, assume that melee attacks always target the most-damaged creature.)

You might also care about the base size of big units. I assumed that a close-packed formation of 10 Medium troops took up the size of one Large creature. I’d say that 25 troops are Huge and 50 are Gargantuan.
If we do any bigger-scale battles, I might find other rules that I need (after all, the Chain Mail rules are much longer than this blog post) but right now, this is looking pretty good for running big D&D skirmishes.
