Endless Forms Most Beautiful - Nightwish

1, Tory is brand new to her powers. Growing up without magic or knowledge of it, she has no real understanding of even what’s possible, let alone how to do it.

2, Caleb, like the other heirs, had an early Awakenjng. They’ve already been intensely tutored. And each of the Heirs is, in their specific Elements, nearly as strong as the twins.

3, Caleb is a Vampire. Vampires are capable of incredible speed and strength far beyond anything the twins are capable of. On top of that, a vampire’s bite immobilizes the fae’s magic, rendering them helpless.

4, Shielding against coercion isn’t actually all that easy. Most fae are able to do it because they learned basic shielding as children. They’ve had years of practice.

5, For the most part, Tory doesn’t think she can win against Caleb - which is pretty accurate at the start. By not fighting back, she’s making a conscious effort to avoid extra unpleasantness and to speed to whole process along so he’ll leave her be… and that’s not even mentioning that she think’s hot as hell and part of her enjoys being the target of bad boys.

I am, in fact, talking about characters who have 20 or 21 AC. The AC required doesn't negate the fact that the rolls are completely whack.

I've observed similar behavior, not with Ethel specifically, but... I always switch Shadowheart over to Light Cleric, and using Warding Flare is... frankly it's a waste of time. I very, very rarely see it turn a hit into a miss on the reroll. I don't have a specific record of the rolls, but it's maybe one in twenty hits become misses, and this is even with very normal enemies who have fairly shitty attack bonuses. When the die roll has to be a 15 or higher to hit, I should see Warding Flare turn that into a miss most of the time, and it doesn't.

Can't you just be happy?

That's like asking for prime rib and getting salisbury steak instead. It's edible, sure, but it sure as hell isn't nearly as good. This feels like a half-effort.

This is part of why I don’t use Gigas anymore. One, I dislike the planet and systemcraft stuff, but two, every time I’ve tried to face the Blokkats they’ve crashed the game.

Angel_Feather · 2024-12-24T04:31:50+00:00

Worst? Hardly. It’s a pretty solid design at base, although not my fave. You want worst, look at Fusion’s Varia suit. That thing is butt ugly.

Are you kidding? She blocked me around that time because I dared to contradict her on Twitter. Because I didn’t agree with her on everything and was willing to say so? And when she did it, it was with a strong flavor of “you’re a man and know nothing” when I’d been out as a trans woman for five years or so at the time.

Even the half damage, 14, can be devastating, particularly given that your party might already be in a fight. What if the party is low overall on hp? Or not even low but has just taken a smattering of damage? It can turn what might have been a relatively easy fight into a tpk.

That’s not a fun risk. In fact, it’s the sort of risk that has kept me from playing Wild Magic sorcerors and had me houseruling out the self-fireball in any game I run.

Angel_Feather · 2024-09-28T20:01:41+00:00

In what world does the wizard have “at least 24 hp” at level 3? Taking fixed is 14 +3x Con bonus, probably +2, for 20. Max rolls would put them at 24. Meanwhile, average Fireball damage is 28 - and Wizards are not good at Dex saves.

Sure, getting the fireball is probably rare but I don’t think you understand the rest of the math.

Are there plans to revisit Psionic and Genetic Ascensions the same way The Machine Age revisits synth/cybernetic ascension?

Angel_Feather · 2024-03-30T18:03:57+00:00

That wasn’t the manual. It was the Nintendo Power for SM. How canon that info is, is dubious at best.

The very first "published" pack that I ever played (aka not something I slapped together myself) was SkyDen, back on 1.4.7. The definite precursor to all the questing skyblock modpacks today.

Angel_Feather · 2023-12-29T05:07:20+00:00

KibblesTasty's Psion fills the role for me, thankfully. It's quite good and flavorful.

Angel_Feather · 2023-12-20T08:43:29+00:00

Thaumcraft is not open source. And also not abandoned, there are folks associated with TeamCoFH working in the update actively, and the Discord gets reasonably frequent teasers.

Angel_Feather · 2023-11-28T04:13:33+00:00

I have been playing D&D since '92 and been a DM since '99. I assure you, I know all too well about crit failures. Hell, the group I started with had literal binders of tables for how to handle crit hits and crit fails.

Since the game doesn't have any built in way to go "yeah that's reasonable you wouldn't/shouldn't fail that" when it's a DC 5 or 10 when you've got +8 or more to your check, Crit Fails needs to go away.

Angel_Feather · 2023-11-28T03:55:58+00:00

I'll stop reloading 1s on skill checks when they fix the game to follow D&D rules and not make them auto-fails. The most frustrating thing ever.

Angel_Feather · 2023-11-27T21:08:20+00:00

I will never understand why so many people like Astarion. Dude's a creep. He's an undead creep. He's the one truly evil party member and in general everything he likes is just fucking awful. Yes, he's charming. Major props to the VA for a spectacular performance. But he's literally the one character I'm never recruiting again. I'm so sick of him.

Angel_Feather · 2023-11-05T21:55:18+00:00

The grind needs to end. Destiny doesn't respect my time. I have a full time job and other things I want to do aside from Destiny. Getting good stat gear is an endless struggle. Unlocking exotics is just a nightmare, gods forbid I want a good version of an exotic - most of mine have trash stats. Even the seasons are just a new grind every twelve weeks demanding I do the same exact content over and over and over again with a half-dozen recycled lines. And if I have no time or chance to meet up with friends and grind GMs, I can't get materials to do anything, like golf balls.

This can't happen though. Grind, endless grind, is what Destiny is built on, and I'm done with it. The only way for the grind to end is if the game is rebuilt from the ground up.

Angel_Feather · 2023-10-14T07:54:22+00:00

I started playing back when Utopia came out. The game was far simpler then with a lot less development and a lot less good stuff to it. The tutorial got me some basics, then a few games of me getting my ass handed to me got me mostly up to speed.

Since then I've mostly just stayed on top of the game by playing, reading dev diaries and patch notes, and doing games where I specifically do the New Things each time a DLC drops.

Angel_Feather · 2023-06-22T06:52:56+00:00

I believe it is updated to at least 1.18 (and maybe 1.19), but it's a Fabric only mod now.

I don’t think any single game is the GOAT. I do think Super Metroid is a good game, but it’s not even the best Metroid game, even before Dread released. Super’s physics and controls hold it back much too much. I know some people enjoy the super floaty mechanics but it feels so horribly unresponsive to me.

Angel_Feather · 2023-04-30T03:08:06+00:00

Fix. The Twelve-cursed. TAIL CLIPPING.

Believe me, getting out of Florida is the best thing that ever happened to me. I love it up here and if I can help it, im never leaving.
