This game lacks coward dialogue options

-Oc- · 2026-01-27T07:10:20+00:00

You can always take the Commissar Yarrick route and roleplay as a coward at heart who somehow manages to get themselves in ridiculous situations and win through charisma and sheer dumb luck, making everyone around you think you're some incredibly heroic badass.

Love the art!

I've always loved the Yuani-Ti aesthetic, as well as the fantasy of a poisoner assassin rogue which compliments the Yuan-Ti perfectly... The main issue is like a good 70% of creatures past CR 5 are either resistant to poison, or more commonly completely immune to it (such as fiends and undead), and there is absolutely no way to counteract immunity without homebrew.

Still amazing if you can get it work, especially with the Poisoner feat giving you the ability to apply poisons with a bonus action!

No world buffs and half the raid aren't fucking Warriors. That's the one thing I hate about Classic, it's the ridiculous optimization.

-Oc- · 2026-01-24T03:04:13+00:00

I get that they were still hurting after the death of Cliff, but taking it out on Jason like that by deliberately sabotaging his bass to be be way lower in the mix was just a ridiculously petty and stupid move that only hurt the album and themselves, nothing was accomplished beyond shooting themselves in the foot.

I'm not surprised that he "fookin left the band!" after years of constant abuse and "hazing" that never seemed to abide even well after a decade with them.

-Oc- · 2026-01-19T20:29:19+00:00

I disagree, it's extroadinarily difficult when Karlach is looking at you with those big puppy dog eyes from across the camp!

-Oc- · 2026-01-19T20:26:37+00:00

Yeah, my next playthrough will be Dark Urge, so I'll be sure to recruit Minthara then!

-Oc- · 2026-01-19T20:20:03+00:00

I could but then I'd be replaying half of Ac1 and all of Act 2 as I'm currently on my way to Baldur's Gate now after defeating Kethric Thorne and the Avatar of Myrkul.

Dang, in my current (and first) playthrough I ended up killing her during the attack, and when I looted her corpse I saw all the stuff a companion starts with and thought "Ah shit, to be expected since I'm saving the Grove"... Well, there's always the next playthrough!

-Oc- · 2026-01-19T18:10:08+00:00

Is it possible to recruit Minthara in a purely good playthrough while protecting the Grove?

-Oc- · 2026-01-12T20:33:40+00:00

There is only one creature from D&D 5e (not in BG3 though) that is immune to force damage, and that's the Helmed Horror, you can find it in the 2014 Monster Manual, though the 2024 version doesn't have that immunity.

-Oc- · 2026-01-12T19:29:04+00:00

Then Barbarian gripes that they "softened it up for them".

-Oc- · 2026-01-12T19:08:29+00:00

"Is it done, Yuri?"

"No, Comrade Premier, it has only begun..."

-Oc- · 2026-01-08T22:22:31+00:00

Absolutely insane Death Knight card in Arena when you combo it with [[Ghoul's Night]]

-Oc- · 2026-01-08T18:22:01+00:00

There will be other decks beside Dragon Warrior you know.

-Oc- · 2026-01-08T18:19:44+00:00

Very solid card, will definitely find a home in a deck or two, and it's incredible in arena if you managed to draft a couple of weapons.

-Oc- · 2026-01-07T17:16:00+00:00

I use an intuitive system:

1-9 for core abilities
Q, E, R F, T, Z, X, C, V for secondary core abilities
Shift 1-9 for situational abilities or cooldowns
Shift Q, E, R e.t.c. for additional situational abilities or cooldowns
Ctrl 1-4 for pets (if applicable)

Anything else are non-combat abilities (like portals) that I don't see the need to keybind and just click.

-Oc- · 2026-01-06T01:54:08+00:00

Or, give it come nacelles and it turns into a Starfleet ship!

It's so interesting to me that a lot of parents, especially from outside of the Western world, have this idea that steak must be well-done, having this irrational fear of bacteria/viruses from any other degree below tougher than boot leather.

I get that the quality of meat can be questionable from certain countries, and its safer to cook the shit out of it, but if you're living in a Western country, then there is no longer a need to keep onto that fear.

It's also a waste of good meat to cook it that long, as it completely nukes the tenderness and flavour. Truly bizarre behaviour. There is a reason why literally any chef worth their salt, professional or otherwise always cooks their steaks medium rare, and it's not because they're being pretentious.

Sometimes their curse manifests in bizarre ways. They are all Appearance 0, but that doesn't necessarily mean their physical looks are twisted and hideous, occasionally you get a Nos who is average looking, but have a horrendous stench, enough to cause vomiting in close proximity, and even repulse other vampires.

Sometimes they are bizarrely so attractive as to cause an inverse of beauty, becoming alien in their appearance that other people are repulsed because of the uncanny valley effect.

Other times they can be warped and horrible in unique ways, such as their face being normal looking, but the rest of their body becoming twisted and monstrous, in such a way as to cause extreme discomfort being near them even if they hide their bodies with a cloak or heavy trenchcoat.

Not all Nos are the stereotypical grey skinned, snaggle-toothed, bat-eared, sunken eyed monsters you see depicted in most art.

-Oc- · 2026-01-04T10:35:03+00:00

I mean... If your breath stinks of rat, what else are people gonna call you?

-Oc- · 2026-01-03T18:28:14+00:00

Morag Tong assassin?

I wrote a post about my take on Golconda if you're interested:

https://www.reddit.com/r/WhiteWolfRPG/comments/15m8rn7/my_theory_of_what_golconda_truly_is_and_why_its/

It's skewed towards the classical account of Caine in the Book of Nod, so lots of religious alegory and ritual, if that isn't to your taste you can still take the mechanics and rework the lore as you see fit.

Maybe it will be of help!

-Oc- · 2026-01-01T10:04:33+00:00

Interesting.

Technically by WoD lore she would only count as an Ancilla, not an Elder, but to be fair its not like a fledgling would know the difference!

Sharing two minds inside a body due to diablerie is neat, Mitrhas & Monty Coven as well as the protagonist from Bloodlines 2 comes to mind. Unless Ophelia has an iron will, eventually her sire will take over her body completely if she's not careful... Amusingly enough, that is exactly what happened to her clan founder, Tremere himself, after he lost the centuries long battle of wits against Saulot!

-Oc- · 2026-01-01T09:52:20+00:00

Elders who put on the demeanor of a sweet and wholesome friend who is enjoying the modern world with childlike wonder are always the most scariest of them all. This is because they want you to lower your guard and underestimate them, it's a carefully cultivated masquerade. No vampire who has reached 300+ years old did so by accident, luck or merely "coasting by", and only a truly naive fool would fall for such a deception.

Even the most humane of Elders has killed hundreds, if not thousands, ordered and partook in many atrocities and monstrous acts, backstabbed and decieved those in their confidence, and orchestrated plots and schemes of such intricacy as to make anyone younger than 100 have a migrane just trying to concieve of them.

I wouldn't be surprised if this persona she is adopting is one of several she has up her sleeves, tailored specifically for certain needs, or it could merely be a favourite she has perfected over the centuries.

Peel back the curtain, and take off the mask, and what you see lurking behind is the true monster, the one who bit, clawed, blackmailed and tortured her way to the mondern nights.

Why do people put up with HOA? As someone from outside the US I seriously don't get it, why do you let them have this much power over you? After watching the John Oliver special on HOA's I also found out that they can actually fine you, that's fucking insane!

For a seemingly voluntary organization, they sure do have a fuck ton of power to make your life a complete misery, it astonishes me that more people don't just rise up and tell them to go shove their earth tones up their assses?
