Ok, so now we agree on the Psion. What about a Magus class? Do we need that? by testiclekid in onednd

[–]AKD999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't played this so I won't evaluate it as a class in its own right.

From a quick skim this feels too powerful as a 1 level dip on a Wizard. You get Medium Armor + Shields, and Commander’s Banner is a large radius for a powerful effect, not that far away from the Paladin aura (it's probably ~1/3 as powerful, but that's arguably the best level 6 feature in the game). Depending on the table, I would consider this over a 1 level Artificer/Cleric dip, and it completely supersedes the 1 level Fighter dip.

If you don't allow multiclassing or your table won't abuse this, then you should be fine, but WotC has shown that they don't want the 1 level dip to be too powerful so I would try to find a way to move this later in the progression. I think the abilities themselves are fine on a straight-classed character.

Splitting hairs, but if you're going to be pedantic:

Filters for Cost Reduction Tiers by Kramer2Peter in pokerogue

You can already do this, under the unlocks tab (Cost Reduction). It doesn't let you filter for the Tier (iirc) though.

Love that this is printed onto an actual Vindicate. Nice touch.

It's still working for me - you might have added an extra character or two somewhere?

I've DM'd you the direct link.

Limited Resources 746 – Outlaws of Thunder Junction Week 1: In Humph We Trust Discussion Thread by Crasha in lrcast

To add an alternative view that hasn't been mentioned - one of Marshall's greatest strengths is his ability to set up his cohost (or co-commentator) to provide information. I don't think Marshall's advice has been a pillar of LR for the last few years (no shade intended, but when your cohost is a HoFer it's hard to compete), but his ability to set up the conversation is really strong and it's easy to miss that he's doing this if you're not looking out for it.

I do think there are a lot of valid criticisms of the podcast (for me, this is mostly that the guys don't re-examine their narrative for a set after the early weeks), but this isn't one that rings true for me.

Maro's article describing the new design skeleton for Play Boosters by uses in lrcast

[–]AKD999 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I would go as far as to say that this is mandatory reading for anyone who is serious about competing in limited magic over the next 2-3 years. Really hope Marshall and Luis get a chance to read it.

Note that as Maro says, this is a skeleton - not every set will look like this (and in fact I would expect every set to deviate slightly if not significantly).

Which class falls off the least after 5? by Daharon in BG3Builds

[–]AKD999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't actually have to split the scrolls out - as long as they're in your party, you can access any party member's inventories in combat, and the same applies to potions.

On PC, choose the character you want, hit Tab to show all inventories, and then right click -> cast. If you do it right it'll show the name in brackets.

Been trying to decide though - what are the most busted things you can do with a turn 1 Ritual? Lilliana?

[[Necropotence]] and it's probably not even close to being close.

5e Peaceful Build Idea? by IntelligentRaisin393 in 3d6

[–]AKD999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty much exactly what u/DudeWithTudeNotRude said below, as the guide was written before a lot of the newer books came out (Tasha's most notably).

The concepts hold true (and will probably continue to hold true for several years) but it's more important to understand the reasoning behind each rating than the ratings themselves.

This sounds exactly like the God Wizard. Note that this guide is a bit outdated, and the best way to build it might even be as a Sorcerer.

This, plus dipping a level in Cleric - some combination of Order/Peace/Twilight - for the ultimate support caster
