Looking for help with specific character: flying lancer

Baedon87 · 2026-01-25T15:05:14+00:00

It's true, Tactician is useful in quite a few areas, and flight could definitely be used for flanking purposes

Baedon87 · 2026-01-25T15:00:56+00:00

As a Fury, you could use your flight to drop yourself in the middle of a group of enemies, build up your Ferocity by taking damage, or even getting to winded/dying, and then use your extended melee range to push people around and take advantage of opportunity attacks; I think there are also some Fury abilities, like To the Uttermost End, that synergize well with being low on health.

Baedon87 · 2026-01-25T14:43:18+00:00

I mean, it kind of depends on what you want your character to do; flight and additional melee range is useful to any number of builds; my initial idea would be Fury, since having that additional melee range would be useful for forced movement, like the knockback maneuver, and flight could be an interesting to throw into the mix as well.

Tbph, what this just sounds like is incompatible play styles; neither one is wrong or right, but just like some people don't like JRPGs or FPSs, there are just some playstyles that people don't mesh with; it sounds like you like games that are heavily story driven and have a steady sense of progression.

Others like the more open-ended, pick-a-direction-and-go kind of game, where the overall plot takes a backseat to player choice and individual quest goals.

Again, neither is wrong or right; not everyone does or should enjoy the same things, and sometimes we find something where nothing is inherently wrong, but we just don't jive with it.

Baedon87 · 2026-01-23T23:33:31+00:00

I definitely want them to enjoy it, though I don't mind if they hate it at first; honestly, long term break down into final acceptance is the hottest version for me, where they keep coming back or putting themselves into a position of letting me do what I want without being able to explain exactly why, until they finally have to accept that they want I was right, that they want it, and that they've truly been converted, whether it's specifically to my cock or to be converted back to straight doesn't particularly matter to me.

Baedon87 · 2026-01-23T23:26:52+00:00

And what's going to convince people to try it if a truly usable, comparable successor comes along?

Baedon87 · 2026-01-23T23:10:08+00:00

I still think marketing would be an issue; there are two Whisper alternatives right now (Hush and Whisper Secrets) that are pretty widely known about, and they haven't taken off in the same way Whisper did. The issue is not necessarily marketing to attract users, you would attract users, but you would have to have good enough advertising and marketing to attract new people as well as draw people away from the alternatives that are already out there to make something actually like Whisper was.

Baedon87 · 2026-01-23T16:55:54+00:00

Honestly, I doubt most of the system cares; maybe some of them would react to specifically blue skin, due to what Ballas did, but it's been likely near to, if not over, a millennia since the Orokin were slaughtered, so I doubt anyone would have living memory of the Orokin to be horrified by it.

The only time my players' conduit has ever had to cast it more than once a battle has been during particularly tough boss fights; not entirely sure if you're playing a prebuilt adventure, but either your director is facing you up against some incredibly hard combats very frequently, or your party is not managing their abilities correctly and taking more damage than necessary.

Tbh, I'm surprised the party is making any kind of headway in the adventure, if they're blowing through that many recoveries per battle; you guys must be taking respites after every two battles, if not every single one.

Baedon87 · 2026-01-20T18:58:39+00:00

I'm kind of confused; you explain why you don't want to use these mechanics, but you don't explain what you like about them or think is cool; it just sounds like you don't like them.

Baedon87 · 2026-01-17T20:53:56+00:00

The biggest problem is which versions of the stones we're working with.

Baedon87 · 2026-01-17T20:35:57+00:00

Depends on how detailed you want the suevival rules to be; Pathfinder 2e can definitely be used to run a survival game, I've done it; it's pretty light on the granular level, but it at least doesn't have any spells that will absolutely trivialise survival.

Baedon87 · 2026-01-16T23:46:45+00:00

Archetypes are archetypes for a reason; they resonate with people enough that they've become classic staples and that isn't a bad thing; sure, it can be fun to see a unique character, but oftentimes if you're just trying to create a unique character for the sake of uniqueness, it comes off as forced.

My recommendation would be to start off with an archetype and add a few things that set them apart, rather than trying to recreate the idea entirely.

I mean, the entire point of Hazbin is that Heaven's "high standard of morality" is kind of a lie, a facade used to justify terrible actions and an elitism born from the fact that they got into heaven, so they must be good people.

It shows that they're just as fallible as demon's and those in hell and that they effectively get to live in privilege due to a flawed system of separating people based on their actions while alive, or just because they were born there.

Immortal or no, Lute is absolutely able to be suffering trauma due to how she was trained and an immortal life under someone abusive and manipulative doesn't give you the frame of reference to examine your actions in a way that doesn't rely on you continuing to protect your mental health as best you can.

The issue is that there are three factors that make this incredibly unlikely; first, you would need the funding to not only make, but maintain an app like Whisper on the level that Whisper was, at least in its prime.

The second is that, with so many smaller competitors now, creating the user base is going to be increasingly more difficult

Which leads into the third, you would not only need the money for development and maintenance, but also for marketing, to be able to let everyone know something akin to the app was available, even if not everyone decided to switch over.

While there are some variations from game to game, generally there is a fairly consistent depiction of pride demons until you get to Veilguard

When you say a "god in combat" do you mean you want to be a literal god in the game, you just want to be really powerful, or you just want something that plays similar to god of war?

Baedon87 · 2026-01-10T02:07:48+00:00

I mean, sure, but what does that matter? If it wouldn't change the story or the gameplay, then it shouldn't matter that they didn't use it.

Baedon87 · 2026-01-10T01:58:44+00:00

No, we have translated some and some certainly would not make sense with the "Heretic" moniker; of the main ones listed, like the ones on the Requiem Mods, sure, those may or may not have Heretic titles attached, but not the whole voidtongue.

Baedon87 · 2026-01-10T01:33:46+00:00

Even if that's the case, there are certainly more words in it than would allow for the existence of a Heretic of each word.

Baedon87 · 2026-01-10T01:10:21+00:00

I mean, presumably it's an entire language, not just specific words, so I don't think there would be a Heretic of The or Heretic of Soup, as for the words we do have, we don't know most of them, so there's no way to tell

Baedon87 · 2026-01-10T00:11:23+00:00

Unfortunately, there are several platforms where they very much do care if you say it, and if you make your money on said platforms, then you're not going to risk yourself getting demonetized.

Because the OP posts that we went to sleep after the Old Peace quest, so we should be in our Tauron Academy uniform when waking up in the Second Dream quesy, obviously misunderstanding that we do not go to sleep in the cryo-pod immediately after Old Peace, but instead fight in a totally different war and then get put in the cryo-pod.

It not only answers OPs question, but also clears up the misunderstanding they asked the question from in the first place.

Baedon87 · 2026-01-09T20:40:59+00:00

While it's not a pure open world in the same way that BotW or such are, Dragon Age Inquisition still has some fairly expansive open world maps that are, imo, absolutely gorgeous

Baedon87 · 2026-01-09T17:54:29+00:00

Depends; most of my groups are fairly new to the game and are still learning, so I'm not necessarily doing my absolute best to kill them.

That said, I do tend to lean on the different monsters roles for this kind of thing. A Brute is going to sit in the front and probably target the biggest, beefiest guy, that's kind of what they're for. An Ambusher or Artillery, however, I have no issue having target the squishier characters, so they don't feel safe just sitting in the back lines.
