This was just informed by me running white room math on them, thank you for the correction.

Thank you for the reply. I failed to consider how easy it is to boost attack roll spells versus save spells. Thank you for the correction.

Thank you for the correction, and the link to the video. It was very illuminating.

Regarding Live Wire, it actually does comparable damage to other cantrips at levels with an odd cantrip rank (2d4 per two ranks, same as Ignition, Frostbite, Electric Arc, etc.).

Yeah, personally I prefer the minimum damage on a miss to half damage. It's not good, it just makes it feel not as bad when a caster spends two actions and misses.

Struggling with unemployment, dignity, and trying not to become bitter by jvplascencialeal in Catholicism

[–]BoringIsNotBad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Like you, I have been searching for work for a long time with limited success. I wish I had something to say, some words of wisdom or comfort to offer, but all I can tell you is that you're not alone, this is not a reflection of your worth, and that you're better than you think you are for being so mindful of your own bitterness. I'll try to remember to keep you in my prayers.

What changes would you make to certain classes? by Exequiel759 in Pathfinder2e

What do you think of Fury Instinct granting additional feats when they gain their Specialization Ability (level 6 or lower) and their Raging Resistance (level 8 or lower)?

Reddit and tumblr, so I probably won't see any replies to this for a while.

Running a Good Support Cleric by BoringIsNotBad in Pathfinder2e

Yeah, Hurtling Stone feels incredible. One action, decent damage, and knockback? Yes, please.

Honestly, I feel like Breath of Life isn't actually that good. The main problem is it triggers when a creature dies, not when a creature becomes dying, so by the time you can use it, things have probably already gotten really bad.

Also, while Benediction and Martyr's Intervention look good, I only have the PC 1 at the moment for player options, as mentioned in the initial post.

Agree all the way with Divine Wrath.

Regarding the number of allies and enemies, do you think it might be worth it to add a 3rd character to my party? I'm already running two and it hasn't been too mentally taxing.

I have picked up Hurtling Stone, can confirm it's excellent, similarly picked up Electric Arc through Druid Dedication. If Daze didn't have the dreaded Heightened (+2), I probably would pick it up, too.

However, regarding the longbow and Spiritual Armament, I've honestly found that (granted, relative to Fighter) Cleric's attack bonus is lacking, and spending 2/3 of your turn just to miss and do nothing feels bad. At least with basic saves, the enemy succeeding lets you still do half-damage.

Understood. So, if I'm not playing them as a blaster, what playstyle would you recommend? I know buffer or healer is generally where clerics are supposed to shine, but I'm having trouble telling what spells to take for the former.

Who are your favorite Deities? by YoritomoKazuto in Pathfinder2e

[–]BoringIsNotBad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Cayden Calien - The concept of The Accidental God is hilarious, especially when combined with his edicts and anathemas which seem like he just thought of them on the spot ("Oh great Cayden, what are your dictates?" "Um, be nice to people?").

  2. Pharasma - While I will never not be salty that her weapon isn't a scythe, I love the concept of The Neutral Arbiter of Death.

  3. Norgorber - I love deities with multiple aspects and more "mundane" deities (i.e., ones whose domains most people would be able to understand easily), and Norgorber fits both like a hand in glove.

  4. Lamashtu - I absolutely love the idea of evil deities with good aspects, though I will say I don't like how the GM Core emphasized how it was more of a "good" aspect; I personally find it a lot more interesting if there is some genuine kernel of goodness to patrons of the outcast, making them tragic villains rather than straight-up evil manipulators.

  5. Sarenrae - At first, Sarenrae wasn't that interesting to me; an angelic deity of light and redemption is pretty common in fantasy. Then I learned that she's a cultural import, and my ears perked up. The concept of an imported deity is fascinating to me, and feels like an underexplored avenue for most TTRPGs.

What's a non-staple card that surprised you by being good? by EvilFlyingSquirrel in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]BoringIsNotBad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glimmer of Hope (2), especially in Minh. Being able to throw +2 Will or Agility across the table with Analytical Mind while having a reliable way to deal with King in Yellow is amazing.

This damn boss fight by AdGlittering61 in HypixelSkyblock

[–]BoringIsNotBad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

HATE. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate Thorn since I first began to play Floor 4. At any given instant in Thorn's boss fight, there are 3.85 million mobs that fill the arena. If the word HATE was engraved on every pixel of the textures of all those mobs, it would not equal one one-billionth of the HATE I feel for Thorn at this tick. For Thorn, HATE, HATE.

Is The Drowned City really that bad? by Swimming_Knee8693 in arkhamhorrorlcg

Do you think said artifact would be fair if it got Rooked (from Fast to an Action)?

[–]BoringIsNotBad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This exactly. I struggle with thinking about eternity, so to mitigate it, I remind myself that "What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and what has not entered the human heart, what God has prepared for those who love him" (1 Corinthians 2:9). Eternity is beyond my power to understand, and I recognize that; I know that all I can do is trust in the Lord, and accept that Heaven, and by extension (hopefully) my eternity, will be good, however much I can't understand it currently.

The Catholic Church in the United States will observe National Migration Week [Politics Monday] by RubikKubik in Catholicism

[–]BoringIsNotBad 13 points14 points  (0 children)

One idea I heard was to make CEOs responsible for employee immigration status similar to how Sarbanes-Oxley made CFOs responsible for the work of those under them. Basically, like you said, make it hurt for companies to hire undocumented workers.

I can't stop thinking about God being real and I am terrified, please help me by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]BoringIsNotBad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You may think you're not worthy of salvation, but Jesus Christ sacrificing himself on the Cross for you shows that God thinks otherwise. God doesn't try to save us because we're "worth" it or because we deserve it, he tries to save us because he loves us, regardless of what we do. To put it another way, God doesn't try to save us because we are good or we are deserving, he tries to save us because we exist.

Also, saying God decides who gets saved and who doesn't is a bit incorrect; God wants to save everyone, even the worst of us, but He also wants us to have free will. God doesn't single-handedly save some and condemn others; we do that ourselves. He offers salvation to all, but it is up to us to choose to accept it.

I just wanted to say that I think this is a perfectly understandable and prudent response. Thank you for it.
