So I’ve been using chatGPT to practice Dungeons and Dragons combat mechanics. I’m learning the game and really enjoying it but I’m a bit overwhelmed with so many rules, spells, dice and things to look at in my character sheet.
I learn by doing, so I took it to gpt and it was a decent GM for my purposes, setting up random battle scenarios and breaking down the basic whys and hows.
That is, until today. Today I tried it again hoping to see how a spell worked and the moment a fight started the replies (and my prompts) got taken away and replaced with a red message saying the content violated their usage policies. Which I find ridiculous.
So here comes my question for you Lemmy, do you know of any workarounds for this situation? I’m open to suggestions… And if not, oh well I guess it was good while it lasted. I’ll learn at a slower pace I guess.
Thanks
It sounds like you’re at a good point to join a campaign with actual people in all honesty.
It’s easier said than done, but there are newbie friendly groups out there who’ll more than happily help you fill in the gaps and I think you might find it more rewarding.
the future clientele of DnD right here.
The Rules in 5e aren’t that complex. Roll a D20 (or two and keep lowest/highest) and add your applicable modifiers, compare that value to the target number (Difficulty Class, DC). Does it hits or is above it? its a success, is it below the target, it fails. Did the D20 show a 1 or a 20? Special things happen.
Read the Spell, the spell does exactly what it reads. Thats how a DM would also rule how that Spell work.
When you are unsure how something is/should be done, consult the rules and or your DM, or Forums (enworld, dndbeyond) or Stackexchange.
And if not, oh well I guess it was good while it lasted. I’ll learn at a slower pace I guess.
well, you would be learning it then for sure and not trust a regurgitated answer.
I wasn’t expecting the replies here to be so condescending. I obviously made a mistake.
