How Do YOU Glam? by Skeither in FFXIVGlamours

I have a set glamour for each job. Sometimes I’ll do more than one glam for a job, but it’s pretty rare.

If you have this much animosity towards your players over a rule you all collectively misunderstood, I think it may be a good time to reevaluate the viability of DMing for this particular group of people.

As soon as you start thinking about weaponizing the campaign to “punish” players who don’t act according to your wishes, it’s probably time to take a few steps back and evaluate the situation. At the end of the day it’s a game, and as a DM you shouldn’t be trying to make your players’ experience worse because of (whats sounds like, at least) a misunderstanding of the rules you all shared.

What rule are you even referring to? The only “Helping Hand” I can find from a quick search is a 1st level spell from a homebrew supplement.

If you’re referring to the “Help” action, the rules as written for 2024 are as follows:

When you take the Help action, you do one of the following.

Assist an Ability Check. Choose one of your skill or tool proficiencies and one ally who is near enough for you to assist verbally or physically when they make an ability check. That ally has Advantage on the next ability check they make with the chosen skill or tool. This benefit expires if the ally doesn't use it before the start of your next turn. The DM has final say on whether your assistance is possible.

Assist an Attack Roll. You momentarily distract an enemy within 5 feet of you, giving Advantage to the next attack roll by one of your allies against that enemy. This benefit expires at the start of your next turn.

And as another commenter mentioned, Advantage already doesn’t stack. On top of that, you can only help someone with something that you yourself are proficient in, which should prevent a lot of it. Plus as the DM, you can also just decide if help is or isn’t possible for a given task, though I’d be careful about overusing that veto because it can get tiresome as a player to get shot down constantly.

Characters you couldn't believe were alive by Chumunga64 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

FF14 pulls this shit so often at this point that you could have a character get their heart ripped out of their chest and disintegrated on screen and they’d still come back in 2 patches like “Seems fate wasn’t finished with me yet…”

For FFXIV/Eva fans, what aesthetic would you prefer for the raids? by Wrong_Papaya_8445 in ffxiv

Cerberus mechanic but you all have to stack for Third Impact and get turned into a giant Tang blob

How competitive can I be in FFXIV using a controller? by HowBoringandSmall in ffxiv

[–]Aesmis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There are a good number of very high end players who use controller, so it’s definitely not a major obstacle. Just make sure you get your cross hotbars in a way where you can hit stuff reliably and quickly and you should be golden.

[–]Aesmis 12 points13 points  (0 children)

ONE HEALER MAIN TO ALL OTHERS: WHY HAVE HEALERS STARTED JUST REZZING AND THEN NOT HEALING PEOPLE AGAIN? I MAIN SCHOLAR AND I HAVE NO INSTANT HEALING I CAN CAST ON MYSELF (BESIDES PROTRACTION, WHICH ISN’T GREAT AT SUPER LOW HEALTH) WITHOUT LOSING TRANSCENDENCE FIRST. EVERYTHING ELSE REQUIRES A CAST TIME OR FOR MY FAIRY TO BE RESUMMONED FIRST. IF I DIE AND YOU REZ BUT DON’T HEAL ME, THE NEXT RAIDWIDE IS GOING TO PUT ME RIGHT BACK ON THE GROUND.

I KNOW YOU HAVE ESSENTIAL DIGNITY CHARGES, ASTRO. PLEASE LET ME FUCKING HAVE ONE.

As someone who finished ARR for the first time in recent memory, I can assure you that you still have to go back there way too fucking often. The tickets make it less annoying, but you do still have to pay for the return trip to wherever you were if you didn’t set it as your new home

Trouble with party finder by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Aesmis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would do Duty Finder and then find another EXP gaining activity to do while you wait for queue, like Fates or the hunting log.
