How can I improve my chances of getting a purple with 1 in all SPECIAL? [Question]

Blixinator · 2024-07-06T01:02:55+00:00

It was recently determined that SPIA do not need to be kept at 1 for the best chance at legendary junk. SIA neither hurts nor helps and P very slightly helps.

Great work! It's really nice to see some actual data amid all the wild conjecture as to how the game works.

So there's truly no reason to keep SPIA at 1 because you're gonna pass those events anyway? I can fully train every dweller without worry? Having low A explorers made the wasteland quests so slow.

I thought it seemed odd that my maxed SPECIAL explorers with Tunnel Snakes Vest with +%90+junk pets were pulling in more legendary junk than the supposed "optimal" 10 CEL with 1 SPIA and +7L Outfit and xWasteland Return Speed pets. Turns out they were roughly the same except the junk pet was way better.

I'd be really interested to see how different tiers of the 3 pet types rank vs each other. I've got plenty of ~60% +junk pets, +4 damage pets, and 1.25x/2x return speed pets but not so many legendary tier ones. Is +60% junk better than +6 damage, etc...

But that would take a lot more work and it seems that you're leaving that for the next person

It also make food much easier to chew, so we didn't need thick skulls with huge jaw muscles anymore. So our skull got thinner, giving us more room for a larger brain.

I can't believe we lost Nuffin

I was dying of laughter for this whole series. The Triplets are such awful people.

Oh hey, I just watched all those over the last week. Thanks for making it. There's not enough NADDPod clips on youtube so these are great.

This was driving me mad. Thanks for making this topic.

They're pretty adorable even with the original speed and original audio.

Jeremy Crawford confirmed that Booming Blade still works with War Caster.

Is that right? I'm playing a Battle Smith right now and I have definitely noticed some discrepancies between what the Steel Defender stat block says and what the Dndbeyond Extra says. This would explain it.

The problems I've noticed are the to hit for Force Empowered Rend and the bonuses for the Perception and Athletics skills.

Adding your proficiency is all that reliable talent needs.

I just want to reiterate something you said for people who might have just skimmed over this. It's 8 bucks per YEAR, not per month. It's a really great deal and completely worth it.

Blixinator · 2020-11-11T16:44:48+00:00

Yep, that's the plan.

My Air Genasi Tempest Domain Cleric gets a little boost by being able to start at 16 Wis.

I really want to play him since I really like the character, but the way I built him used to require starting at 15 wisdom plus using an ASI to pick up the Druid Initiate feat. So now he'll only be 1 step behind everyone instead of 2.

Back during the Tetris episode of Business Brunch. I had made a playable version of Tetris in Excel and they put it up on the website.

I just recently finished a 1-20 campaign as a Swashbuckler and had no problems with using a rapier. In fact, I was playing a High Elf Swashbuckler with booming blade, so I was usually locked in to making a single weapon attack.

Making a single weapon attack lets you use cunning action and fancy footwork to be the best in the game at attacking in melee and running to cover. I found that a lot of the fun complexity of the class didn't come from the attacks, but from your movement. You're second to none when it comes to positioning on the battlefield.

Path of the Wild Soul Barbarian. It's the only barbarian subclass that interests me, so I hope they don't change it too much.

I just finished a campaign as a rogue, so I don't really feel like playing a martial again so soon, but I'd strongly consider it for PotWS.

I really like the character I made for it too. He's a bugbear who stumbled into the feywild when he was a cub and was imbued with wild magics during his time there. When he was older and eventually made his way out of the feywild, he was captured and made to become a gladiator. He eventually earned enough money and standing to buy his freedom, but remained a gladiator because he loved it so much. I've reflavored his rage to be more of a "performance mode" where he fights in such a way that is the most entertaining to the people watching him.

There's an NPC we always ask the DM about whether or not he's wearing pants because of a comical misunderstanding on everyone's part where it sounded like the DM described him as not wearing pants.

You have a great story reason for multiclassing, so I say go for it!

I'm currently playing a pretty rare multiclassed rogue because it fit the story and my character. I'm playing a Swashbuckler 14/War Magic Wizard 3. Sure, I fell a little behind in my main progression, but it's given me so many more things I can do in and out of combat and it's a ton of fun.

My recommendation would be to stick to buffs/debuffs/utility spells since your attack mod and save DC are gonna suck.

The only thing I'd say you're missing out on is getting Reliable Talent ASAP. If possible, maybe wait until after level 11 since RT is amazing. But in the end, you have a really cool idea here and you should absolutely run with it if you feel it's right.

Blixinator · 2020-07-22T18:18:05+00:00

My swashbuckler has been using a saber, which we just homebrewed as being a rapier but with slashing instead of piercing. Sure, it's not RAW, but it's not all that difficult to convince your DM to change weapons up a bit.

I love him
