Also, curious for thoughts on some statblocks I'm trying to make. Been thinking of the idea of formation-fighting in DnD for a little while and possible ideas on how it might work. At some point probably making stat blocks to be used as the common soldiers of some empires. But will probably try to think of a one-shot first, in which case the idea of the Tercio came to mind.
Quick historical note: The Tercio was a fighting formation during the Renaissance. Essentially you'd have pikes protect guns. The pikes could stop a cavalry charge or other adversaries getting close while the guns did their job. Part of the Renaissance rock-paper-scissors of pikeman > cavalry, musket > pikeman, cavalry > musket.
So went with three statblocks. One for a pikeman, simple fodder meant to shield the muskets. The musket, meant to be weaker but also decent ranged damage. And a captain to bolster the resolve of those under him and make them stronger, kinda to compensate for a tercio being a juicy fireball target. The pike and musket I calculated as CR 2 within a formation and the captain CR 3. But then the captain and musket being CR 2 outside a formation with the pike being CR 1/2.
(Might have to try a lancer statblock at some point or do more looking through to find something I really like. Something like a centaur is probably a good candidate for reskinning or such.)
Obviously it's kinda hard to simulate all the real-world stuff in DnD so some of the things are kinda off. Like how the advantage of mass fire with muskets gets clumsy if you truly need a ton of them so I went his higher accuracy despite the inaccuracy of IRL early firearms. And such.
speaking of the hourglass widow reminds me, do you have the time/ and are interested in possibly having ✨a fight?✨
Depends. Possibly.
Ooh, alright. I’d really like to test out the new ancient green dragon, which is currently the only public dragon statblock. Possibly against a party of characters.

in a lake.
What level of party? Need to see if any of my ready-to-go characters feel right. Feel like the dwarves are probably good choices for the poison resistance.
Ooh, I love those statblocks. Especially the Tercio training ability .i don’t see any flaws, and I think that together, perhaps with a little magical backup, they could make a really fun encounter.

I’d say around 12. If we do on a lake then either it could be on the shore (battlefield split on the middle) or we could do the fun option, which is a boat, away from any land.

Dwarven cleric. Dwarven Wild Magic sorcerer (LET CHAOS REIGN!). Aarakocra cleric. (Dogfighting.) And then one more (assuming the standard 4.)

Also almost tempted to try 4 clerics. ;p
Sounds fun, I assume the one more would be a more martial character?…
there is no way having an all cleric team against an ancient green would work out well for you.

So I need help with a type of cowboy character, I already know his backstory, his town was burned to the ground in a small war type deal. His daughter died in the fire. He lives a life of despair but also keeping an eye out for asshats. The world is steampunk with more advanced weapons and such. I'm thinking he wears a mask to hide his features (idk what type of mask), and what kind of weapon he uses. Perhaps some sort of pistol with magical properties? anyway, was just wondering if anyone else had any other ideas or suggestions

No, actually. Grim hollow, and the hourglass widow, is from the wonderful Ghostfire gaming. The Ebon Tides is from Kobold Press.

All cleric team.
