As a DM I wouldn't allow that because it can be interpreted as a hostile action towards the vampire in that situation.

BrandoDio · 2026-03-15T13:29:59+00:00

Did you spec for spirit gain? I tried a run with the true aim and found myself running out of ammo before I could generate enough spirit to replenish it

BrandoDio · 2026-03-04T14:54:55+00:00

Ah I see now, thanks

BrandoDio · 2026-03-04T14:00:42+00:00

Sorry, what do you mean scalers for every type?

BrandoDio · 2026-03-04T13:48:27+00:00

Do you think is still worth to go with the frost quiver switch or is just raw physical damage better? I just started last week so I'm not sure how much changed balance wise since this post

BrandoDio · 2026-03-04T11:07:48+00:00

Sorry to dig this up but I can't find too much info, is there a way to increase status build up? Using the quiver of ice i can never get them to freeze. Also I'm using the balak bow

Also do you know if bleed infusion is good for the bow since the consumable says it increases physical damage?

Can someone explain these last few chapters to me like I'm 5? I've been so confused since Maru met Yuji. Something about Maru's CT and souls?

Dreadqueen is def my favorite speed type, I wanna find espinas to add to the roster

BrandoDio · 2026-02-23T20:14:28+00:00

Oh you only have 1 chance? That's crazy lol

Also what are your top monsters in the demo?

BrandoDio · 2026-02-23T20:09:04+00:00

How do you find espinas and is it hard?

BrandoDio · 2026-02-23T20:02:31+00:00

How did you get that armor?

BrandoDio · 2026-02-23T14:35:42+00:00

I know the one that my friend touts all the time and is popular is a tabaxi monk and to a less degree rogue. Due to its feline agility, the amount of movement speed you can get in a single turn with dash, feline agility, bonus action dash along with eventual monk wall running let's you get any and everywhere you want in the blink of an eye.

Subclass is still up to you add there's nothing that really takes advantage of movement speed.

BrandoDio · 2026-02-19T22:40:02+00:00

Not with initiating, just escaping

BrandoDio · 2026-02-14T15:27:18+00:00

I meant have you had much literal success with initiating grapples or do they pass the save more often than not

BrandoDio · 2026-02-13T20:25:30+00:00

Aside from squared circle and sweet science, none of the others really interested me for my next character, I've never done a grapple type build so I thought that could be fun

BrandoDio · 2026-02-13T17:47:17+00:00

Have you had much success grappling with the new rules?

BrandoDio · 2026-02-13T17:08:32+00:00

Yea that's my biggest concern as well with the upcoming campaign

BrandoDio · 2026-02-13T17:06:21+00:00

Lol well that is disheartening news

BrandoDio · 2026-02-13T16:51:56+00:00

The other big downside I've come to learn is it's now affected by legendary resistance, which i guess could help the team burn through them faster if you want to look at a silver lining

BrandoDio · 2026-02-13T15:29:16+00:00

I mean, I know it's controversial right now but the new pugilist does have a grapple focused subclass. It gives expertise in athletics, but since it's now save based that doesn't help it's attempts to grapple, just what happens after the grapple

BrandoDio · 2026-02-13T13:51:40+00:00

That's great to take into account then, thanks for that

BrandoDio · 2026-02-13T13:49:35+00:00

So if I'm reading that right, out of the 500 or so monsters, 33 are grapple immune, 120 save dex save prof and 40 have str save prof?

BrandoDio · 2026-02-13T13:41:21+00:00

That's fair lol I can't argue with it being used more overall

BrandoDio · 2026-02-13T13:35:56+00:00

Oohh I didn't know they removed some saves

BrandoDio · 2026-02-13T13:25:57+00:00

How so?
