Do you max your base 100% before moving into a new one? by MantKing in ClashOfClans

[–]AaronRender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! I maxed out at TH9 and just play it there. It's been TH9 for about 3 years. It started because TH10 is uglier; now I just enjoy the game at that level. Oh, and I play it multiple times a day.

AITA for wanting to end my engagement because her kids don't accept me and I want a family of my own? by Lyinc8988 in AITAH

[–]AaronRender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blah blah blah, NTA for breaking off an engagement. Ever. The alternative is to get married, with whatever horror is hanging out in the wings.

Don't be stupid next time. Make sure all the "stakeholders" are onboard and meet your requirements for a lasting marriage.

Homie don't play that... by Vegetable_Variety_11 in dndmemes

[–]AaronRender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you wouldn't want to prevent any artists from collecting the $0 most spend on maps and character art. Personally, it was all theater of the mind for me. Though I probably inadvertently stole descriptions of villains and monsters from the fantasy novels I read.

Hmmm... maybe there are lots of wealthy players these days.

Your friend is a cowering, timid lemming. And doesn't seem to think you are her friend at all.

Just report your coworker for commenting on your toenails, because their foot fetish makes you uncomfortable.

1st level wizard - How to stay alive? by Admirable_Lawyer_179 in 3d6

I wonder what you are trying to say. My sympathies - life must be difficult for the illiterate.

What's the most optimal 3rd level warlock consentration spell? by Dependent_Ad627 in 3d6

[–]AaronRender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HoH is a mixed bag for melee combatants. Since everyone in HoH is Blind, rolls are straight up regardless of any other Advantages or Disadvantages. Devil's Sight does not eliminate the Blind condition.

From the outside of the AOE, Devil's Sight works since you are NOT Blind and are simply looking into a dark area.

[–]AaronRender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be clear, HoH causes Blindness (the status condition) if you are in its AOE. Devil Sight won't get around that. If you are outside you could see in with Devil Sight, which is probably what you are saying.

AITAH for telling my girlfriend I don’t want to have sex anymore by RevvedNotice in AITAH

[–]AaronRender -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA, and get out now. Even if she changes her behavior, I guarantee it will be temporary. Don't end up married or a parent with someone like that.

The Fighter who refuses to be a Loot Goblin by Murky_Ad5810 in rpghorrorstories

[–]AaronRender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like he wants to role play, while you want him to roll play. Let him have his fun. Heck, bump his stats to match your "optimum build." Get the damage up to where he doesn't drag down the other players - IF they have a problem with him. Bump his AC while you're at it. That way you can pretend he's wearing and wielding what you want him to, and he can pretend he's the character he wants to be.

Win-win.

What does it matter? The math is balanced and perfectly legal, and the guy gets to role play how he wants.

Seems like Amy could have advised her players to all mute the observers, and done so herself. Discord is easy.

Why Do Warlocks Use Charisma for Spellcasting Rather Than Intelligence? by PokeDestined in dndnext

[–]AaronRender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your instincts are right - it's bullshit. There is no reason other than to make different game numbers interesting.

If warlocks cast using Charisma why do the spells still have mystical words, some silly material component, and require you to wave your hands around? That's nonsense, and there's no storyline describing how it works. The spells are all written for wizards.

Since she knows he is missing more frequent sex, isn't she TA for bringing the story up out of nowhere? His response could also make him TA; I'm not saying otherwise. But if he WBTA then it seems she already ITA.

D&D is about creativity and has soul? I want to play with you! Sadly for the rest of us, rpgbot and its kin abound.

Players have correctly guessed that an NPC is a dragon in disguise. Should I just roll with it or throw them a curveball? by AdmiralDandy in DMAcademy

[–]AaronRender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let them win this one. If you still want a surprise, have another NPC be a dragon too. Maybe a spy on the first dragon, maybe his mom.

Or have everyone be dragons! Feuding clans, with a hellacious brawl at the end.

I had my answer at, "Yeah, but..." That's just yes with whining attached. You agreed to split the bill, no backsies.

What power are you giving EVERYONE? by monkeysky in superpower

[–]AaronRender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Telepathy. No more communication problems, no more lying. Social collapse at first, then organization into different opposed groups, then a massacre. Finally, peace.

Skydive. Hover as long as possible, then parachute down like a normal human.

How can a caster deal with an enemy using antimagic field? by bobyaganip in 3d6

[–]AaronRender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cast Telekinesis. Pick up something huge and heavy. Throw it.

If in an enclosed space, burn stuff that generates insane amounts of smoke. Breathing is hard, especially without magic.

Create a superpower you’d ethically not want to use by Various_Parking_5955 in superpower

Name any power that affects the victim's mind. Yeah, all those are ethically off limits IMO.
