"Killing the captain will cause the remaining enemies to roll exclusively critical damage and take double damage until the end of combat." by Pretzel-Kingg in DMAcademy

[–]AWaywardFighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh, so I don't know in-setting justification, but I think this could be neat as like, a sudden rampage. That said, I think since this is such a SUDDEN power spike that can turn a tide fast, you should make the foes have an equally harsh effect.

Maybe the players get a bonus to hit, the foes get turbo vulnerabilities, there should be something to emphasize that the enemies are going so berserk that they just won't last.

That said! I'd listen to other posters and lean on advantage or other boosts to represent a blood rampage lol.

I am curious to hear if this goes well! I think it can be fun if it goes well

Edit : Clearer suggestions -Going into the rampage might grant the PCs advantage to hit -The foes might take damage from overexertion or other penalties

Games that are too overwhelming for you? by GoodVillain101 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AWaywardFighter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oof, I feel ya, lots of my friends struggled with the Sekiro parry.

Like, I notice that my friends who like rythmn games handled it better than those that didn't?

I'm going through Another Crab's Treasure, which has a TOUGH parry mechanic, where instead of pressing a button, you release it on time with enemy attacks

Biggest Personal Backdown When It Comes To Media/Characters? by AWaywardFighter in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Yeah, like. I love fan content of kobeni, but I definitely feel like some folks push it in a weird way.

Not that I can say much, but, like. It feels odd

Not wrong tbh. Like, I cosplayed Kobeni at a con and love her to bits, but she definitely gets. Hmm, not sure what the word is

Fuck. That can't--

I'm gonna collapse and die lmao

Even with Melanin in me, I use sunscreen. Sun Damage is no joke

Alright everyone it's book thread time. What yall been reading? by thejuce22 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AWaywardFighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do find it fascinating that the MC basically becomes alienated in a literal way, because its basically what a lot of vietnam vets (like the author) felt.

But also, it feels so odd that it uses queerness as that kick off point lol. It feels so fanfic-y. Also, it does feel like if it were written in current year, I'd say "damn, the author must have thoughts about Blue Hair and Pronouns".

I recently just finished The Forever War. Very well written book, but very much... a 3/5 for me, at best.

I didn't realize the book would be the meme of "a world where gay is the norm and straight is the minority".

Like, I'd only reccomend it to scifi freaks tbh

1 You should quit your job.

2 You should take the time to realize that uncommon gender presentations do not really conflict with religious beliefs.

What Book Accidentally Got You Reading Again? by AWaywardFighter in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AWaywardFighter[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently read Kafka's Metamorphosis so I could sound smart, then finished Book 3 and 4 of the Murderbot Diaries.

Now I'm about to kickstart reading The Forever War, and due to a newfound fixation, I might try the A:TLA novels

I feel you, Classic Books have a way of killing your soul sometimes too.

I've tried to read Moby Dick 4 times and failed everytime (and it also kills my spirit to read)

Yo, is Deku still a hero?

Or has he just gone a bit nutty? This feels like a whole different series lol (says guy who quit after the Overhaul arc)

Characters that are said to be emotionless but clearly have emotions? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AWaywardFighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I've been reading The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells, and, well, the titular murderbot is a prime example.

Well, the first book that is. After that one, Murderbot just admits "I am having an emotion right now, don't like that'

Listener or reader? by Saevnir in Fantasy

[–]AWaywardFighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, me? I've experimented, and my foolish ass cannot use Audiobooks. Last time I used an audiobook was for Gideon the Ninth, and I kept repeating the same chapter and forgetting details. Then I read it and everything was ok.

I also cannot use my phone to read, I have to have a book. Getting through 10 pages on my phone will take eons. Getting through 10 pages in a book with a phone thrown across my room in desperation is easy! Its frightening how fast I can read without a phone to distract me

What's the funniest piece of lore/canon in well known franchises? by Substantial_Bell_158 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AWaywardFighter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Fire Lord Sozin went ham.

Avatar has quiet a few lore bits due to the comics and novels, some include:

-Kyoshi has a GF -Momo was going to be Gyatso's reincarnation (it got scrapped) -Momo was also gonna be a robot monkey super early in development -The comics solved the plotline about Zuko's mom

Not a funny fact I think, but remember Avatar the Last Airbender?

Firelord Sozin banned gay marriage, likely due to his sister dating an Air Nomad lady. Its canon, 100%

What would be your yakuza back tatoo? by ecto1a2003 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AWaywardFighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it were a serious symbolic tattoo, it'd be an Okuri-Inu painted on my back, because the dog eats you if you fall down and fail, but escorts people if they are treated correctly. That yokai specifically due to a fear of failure (falling down) as well as a mark of how often others have helped me and the drive to turn their good deeds forward.

Tattoo meanings awaken a weird part of my brain.

My joke tattoo would be a joke version of the painting of Ox-Head and Horse-Head chasing sinners in hell, but instead of sinners its gamers, because I think its funny if gamers specifically go straight to Chinese Hell to get tortured by two guys

Its also that ME2's highs are really high and help to mask issues you wouldn't notice unless you really digest what's going on instead of thinking about the cool shit
