I’m a newer dm in uni. You school runs on a quarter system rather then semesters. I’ve have been apart of 3 campaigns this years (dming one) and something I noticed is there is more in fighting then I would have thought. Recently I gave my players these cubes with weird properties (homebrew items important for story later) anyways there was a miscommunication between two players. One player was doing some test on the cube to figure out its properties. One of the players asked to have it and the first player said sure. They ment two different “having it” it escalated into one player dying then getting revived from a true res spell they had. I’m planning on running a campaign over the summer and would like to avoid in fighting. The group over the summer knows each other better are are good friends so I’m not was worried, but I didn’t have a clue during that situation and I wouldn’t know what to do if it happened again. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

So I’m in uni running a campaign. My players have created a teeth shotgun. They use magic stone on some teeth (our fighter collects them from defeated foes 🤷‍♂️) and rule of cool and curiosity lead me to allow them to do this. Each set of 3 teeth do about 20-30 dmg (if I remember correctly it might be closer to 40/45). The problem is that is only two of the 4 players actions so the over all dmg is higher. So that’s sums of dmg output for each turn roughly. I’m in need of a mini boss that would actually pose a threat. They are going in after a long rest, and the boss will be a lich with a condition to beat. I was wanting a monster that’s has low dmg output with high health. The AC doesn’t have to be high I just what the bulkiest thing to move. Something that just absorbs dmg. I can adjust stats if need, but I need a base template and don’t know what to look for, so any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

Im a freshman at Louisiana Tech University, and I’m quite interested in batteries and power storage. But I don’t quite understand it. I know batteries have a voltage and current, but what exactly determines that. Also what is the difference between the two qualities? For AA ik they have 3.7v but I don’t know the Amps, but for my 3.7v Li-on batteries they have 2000mAh. Along with that why can Li-on batteries be recharge, but lithium can’t be. Ik I could just google all of this, but I’m a little slow on the uptake so I figured I would ask the pros.
