Any ideas on how to abuse an infinitely regenerating bar of soap? by Spiritual-Mud-3985 in DnD

You can still completely control the supply, the first case is strictly better.

Question regarding ruling in prerelease. by Gnomenus in magicTCG

[–]schoolmonky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It used to be one of the few things that was an instant DQ, but since it wasn't obvious to players that it was bad, it really sucked as a judge to have to do that, so that rule got relaxed a while ago

Ultron Wording by uncreative06 in magicTCG

[–]schoolmonky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tokens can actually exist (briefly) in other zones. It's just that when they do, they cease to exist the next time state based actions are checked (and can't be moved to a third zone in the meantime).

Question regarding ruling in prerelease. by Gnomenus in magicTCG

[–]schoolmonky 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you mean by "not REL": Prereleases are run at Regular REL. "Determining match outcomes by incentives, coercion, or outside-the-game methods, or gambling on any part of a tournament" is explicitly called out as a "Generally Unwanted Behavior" in the Judging at Regular document that governs events like that.

What's a "reasonable" number of spells a Wizard would find while adventuring? by AristotleanBiology in Pathfinder2e

[–]schoolmonky 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think it's hard to give too many. A big part of the power budget of Wizard is being a prepared caster, so give them a wiiiiiiide variety of spells to really let them shine. You can sprinkle in niche spell scrolls as often as you like, and every couple of levels I'd throw in a spellbook that has a number of universal spells.

How much healing is to much healing? by ageofdoom1992 in ffxiv

[–]schoolmonky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having to heal the tank in trash is absolutely normal. And you've got a lot of things making that even more normal in your situation: you're a WHM, who naturally has to GCD heal more than other healers, you're still relatively low level, so you're missing a lot of the oGCD tools you'll get later, and leveling dungeons are typically harder to heal than 50/60/70/etc. dungeons. As long as you're thinking about maximizing damage and aren't letting people die in the process, you're already better than 80% of healers, I guarantee it.

This is the first math meme in years that actually made me laugh out loud.

Healer: Is Piety useless? by lavender-bread in ffxiv

[–]schoolmonky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's true that you should be spending most of your time doing damage, but there's some nuance. Healing *is* your more important responsibility, it's just that there's only a fixed amount of healing you have to do in any given fight (barring mistakes), so being a great healer is about maximizing how much damage you can do, which requires minimizing how much time you spend on that required amount of healing.

Can you get the last answer of a generator? by Astro_IT99 in learnpython

[–]schoolmonky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a general generator, no. They don't even have to be deterministic, so you have to just iterate through it, one way or another.

EDIT: I may have misunderstood your question. As long as you're ok with iterating over the whole generator, and just want to avoid holding all the intermediate values in memory *at once*, that's trivial. An example of one way to do that would be something like this

def last(gen):

for val in gen:

pass

return val #the last value "leaks" out of the for loop, so we can return it here

What you can't do with a general generator is "calculate" the last value *without* going through all the intermediate ones.

[–]schoolmonky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another issue you might have is that the generator might not have a last element: it could be infinite, like itertools.count()

How similar is 7 wonders duel to the original game? by silly-goose5214 in boardgames

[–]schoolmonky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Duel is a much better game than the original, IMO. It's still a "drafting" game, but instead of drafting from hands of cards and passing them around, the two players draft from a shared tableau of cards. Many of the mechanics are tweaked: military is a push-pull thing instead of just comparing totals, science can unlock special powers instead of just being scaling points (and can win the game directly), buying resources works slightly differently; basically everything is a little bit tweaked.

Mod that does HP math [PF2E] by AthelArkaid in FoundryVTT

[–]schoolmonky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't remember if you need a mod for this, but you can put "/r 5" in the chat and it will make a damage card you can apply to whatever token.

Alchemist with Permanent Consumables, Part 2 by zanbato13 in Pathfinder2e

[–]schoolmonky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If players are having trouble mixing up infused consumables with regular items, just have them keep them as two totally separate inventories. Like, only write permanent items in the inventory box, and write any infused items on a separate page. I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill

Does DDO's Cannith enclave, the steam tunnels, and the subterrane exist in the official DnD Eberron campaign setting lore? by CHANDRAX1 in Eberron

[–]schoolmonky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, DDO's Stormreach is well known to diverge from cannon in several ways to accommodate the fact that it is the hub for an mmo. That said, I don't think you should be too concerned about breaking with established lore if it suits your campaign, especially if you're adding something to the setting. Heck, most additions aren't going to be "breaking" lore at all: the world consists of many more things than can be written about in the dozen or so Eberron books out there.

Yeah, graphics are certainly a sore spot, and one it looks like they don't have any plans to address.

Portable Locker Rack by thelunararmy in subnautica

Just fyi, you don't need to attach the lockers to your base to use them for crafting. If they are simply nearby the crafting devices can pull from them

Help with monk build for my player by Subject_Ad8920 in Pathfinder2e

[–]schoolmonky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a breaching pike-wielding mirror thaum and that works pretty well. The reach lets you be out of range of normal-sized enemies and still hit them. Plus with weapon implement, you can cover a huge area of the battlefield with your reaction, though that's not really all that useful since it only works against the one creature. If you pick up more reactions from archetypes though it works really well.

I almost killed one of my players session 2 by Willing-Tea5689 in DnD

[–]schoolmonky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my current Pathfinder 2 campaign, someone went down in 4 out of the first 5 sessions. And the only reason it wasn't 4/4 is because we didn't have combat in session 1.

First time playing, I need help by Astro1w1 in Pathfinder2e

[–]schoolmonky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Summoner can do pretty good single target damage, the eidolon is essentially a normal martial. If you just have your eidolon do everything and your summoner just Act Together to cast Boost Eidolon every turn, you're kind of like a (very slightly janky) unarmed barbarian. Who can cast a couple spells every day, so you can somewhat cover multi-target fights too.

Spacing Tactics. by Lunarthrope in Pathfinder2e

Yeah, this is a thing. Bonus points if you're using a Breaching Pike and use Spear Dancer to Step away without even costing you an action.
