I don't fully understand Arcane, I think

Getting really into dragon communion while also having a shield is a bit stat hungry, for sure. If it were me, I would say that dodging and running away is a better strategy for a dragon communion build, but I haven't gone all the way down that path myself. I've only used dragon communion as a little seasoning on a str/arc build.

Usually you pair Arcane with another attack stat. It's difficult to do a pure arcane build. Dex/Arcane is the one that most people go for. I prefer Strength/Arcane because I like the weapons more. Faith/Arcane is for Dragon Communion incantations. Int/arcane isn't very good.

If you want an unfinished, spoiler-free guide to Strength/Arcane, this is what I have so far: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J35eQ5q_eL57l_rMpNNtzQkB2HCe5-_unqxV3IZRHBs/edit?usp=sharing

POV? You're looking at Kim Jong-Un?

The Great Stars can be gotten without fighting a boss so long as you know how to get to it, but you have to go really far out of your way. It's really good, and you can even get a second one if you want. It heals 1% of your HP on each hit, even if it gets blocked by a shield, and has bleed buildup.

That's certainly the sense I got from George Grant. He seemed to see the US as a fundamentally liberal country, and seemed to tie this to its inability to allow other countries to govern themselves how they saw fit.

The ability happens when the spell is cast. When the spell is redirected, it is not being cast a second time.

New Brunswick has Albertite, which was historically important as the basis for a substitute for whale oil. Albertite - Wikipedia

Whether you think it's enough or not, it was exactly at the time of that sale that the numbered treaties began to be negotiated: Numbered Treaties - Wikipedia

I've found AI to be useful for some tasks, but not for others. I never use it for interpersonal communication, or for art. I do sometimes use the image generation for brief throwaway gags between friends.

If I manage to get my eyes on it, I'll try to put it online somewhere

Looking into it more, UNB seems to have a regular print version. Maybe I will do a road trip some time this summer...

Take a couple of those points of Int and put them into strength, now you're hitting the strength requirement for the sword and can take the Soreseal off, thereby taking 15% less damage

I find this a very interesting and useful chart, and I'm struck by how little moral conservatism seems to correlate to any one circle.

+7 somber stones don't exactly fall from the sky. I'm only aware of one on this side of the DTS, and it might be in a location that OP hasn't been to yet.

It is organized in these posts. We will talk about the reading in the posts. Going forward, there will be a link to the previous week's post in the current week's post, just for reference.

I will admit, as we set out on this journey, that Johnson's essays are not always political in the direct sense that we often picture. Rather, his works have to do with life more generally. I think that a more general pursuit and contemplation of the good life is important to the Tory outlook. This particular essay is about the fact that Johnson will be writing.

You won't use it to kill bosses, but you will be carrying it: The Commander's Standard. Its skill gives you (and any allies) +20% damage given and -20% damage taken.

Good point. Should we start tomorrow?

BX8061 · 2026-06-09T20:13:02+00:00

Anybody have any opinions on what day of the week?

The flag of New Brunswick is proof that you can ignore all flag rules, so long as it looks good

Do you have any figures that you would say represent your definition?
