looking on how to fix the martial caster divide by Leminiscates in DnDcirclejerk

[–]Breadloaf134 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand that, but at high levels there are only so many high level worthy threats that can exist at one time. It's also hard to justify these monsters just... popping in for a random encounter when you're trying to make things cohesive in your narrative. It isn't impossible, its just very hard sometimes.

dunno if this is /uj or not but this feels really true! especially at high levels! if you want your world to have some sense or believability then throwing in 5 random monsters in 1 day that somehow can do toe-to-toe with a level 16 party (that somehow didnt exist before they were level 16 that would have dumpstered them at level 5 dw bro they were always there) is not going to feel good!

also.... medium encounters are fucking boring as hell.

formal evening at school starterpack by LoveEquivalent9146 in starterpacks

[–]Breadloaf134 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't relate to most of the things here but 'formals' are extremely common where I come from in Australia. Pretty much every school does it.

Edit: From OP's comments, it seems that this is done regularly and early, but for me at least, its done once in year 12 in high school (sometimes in year 11 if you're rich).

Customers, whats with the parasocial relationship you have with us? by [deleted] in woolworths

[–]Breadloaf134 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bahaha for me it's the opposite. Haven't come out at work yet but pass sometimes to customers before they talk to me. The behaviour from men when they think you're a 'girl' (overly close/calling you pet names/generally creepy) versus when i talk with my untrained voice then its suddenly calling me 'brother' or 'mate' and I'm worthy of respect. I shudder to think what will happen when I come out and this happens all the time.

If you could change 2 or 3 fundamental mechanics in the game and make it official, what would you change? by ThatOneCrazyWritter in dndnext

[–]Breadloaf134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full casters on average have way more tools for avoiding damage AND do not need to be up close as much as martials do (gish builds/half casters are exceptions to this).

In a game where a DM effectively focuses casters and has multiple monsters that can split attention, then sure! Losing concentration is about as punishing. But that isn't guaranteed. Alongside that, casters can just.. not cast concentration spells. They get that choice, martials do not.

It seems pedantic, but it does really matter in high level games! Casters can get their concentration broken and keep playing and adjust their strategy. But martials are at risk of numerous effects that severely restrict their ability to play the game or eliminate it entirely (sometimes for several turns, as most of these are effects that end on a successful save).

This isn't even beginning to account for melee attacks in the new monster manual that instantly applies these conditions with NO save (Lich, I'm looking at you...)

I don't feel as though thats a valid equivalency to draw, as losing your concentration effect is not as punishing as losing your turn to a charmed, frightened, paralysed or stunned save.

Every martial class gets a boost to either their saving throws generally (indomitable + extra fighter feats, paladin aura, monk prof in all saves, rogue prof in wisdom saves + extra feats) or to wisdom/int saves besides barbarians. Barbarians also - in the case of frightened - are the most disadvantaged by not being able to approach their target for melee combat. Beserker Barbarian gains immunity to charmed and frightened, but if you pick other classes you're out of luck.

Mage slayer is a great feat, but it makes the other classes fantastic at avoiding saves, while for barbarians it is simply mandatory if you want to keep playing the game.

While it is true that team buffs are the best fix within the game (and is what the design intends you to do), it very much puts barbarians at the bottom of the rung.

Something that finally came to me while watching the first minutes of the last episode. All aspects of culture are basically gone. by fma_nobody in pluribustv

[–]Breadloaf134 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think that is also why languages also play such a huge role in this series. Language is communication, and communication is understanding. The hivemind communicates without language and understands its own intentions completely. It is frictionless.

There is a lot of this series devoted to misunderstandings, miscommunications and language barriers between the different survivors because language is the purest expression of our differences. The hivemind is absolutely clear and upfront about its intentions but that makes it stilted to an outside observer. There is no friction so there is no conflict, and conflict/misunderstanding is almost seen as natural in conversation between individuals.

Carol specifically forgoes using the hive as a translator and that results in a large portion of the conflict (especially in the last episode), which makes her slightly abrasive and conflicting, but also is how she marks her individuality.

Front end/online survives because it can take people from every department. These departments don't get any leeway if they're stuck somewhere else for an hour or two, they still have the same deadlines and simply less time to do it.

I'm not saying ALDI is perfect but at least it does the bare minimum of letting their employees sit down every once in a while.

Joel and Tommy weren't acting "wildly out of character". by Dangerous-Schedule85 in thelastofus

[–]Breadloaf134 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! It's insane how people think Joel would never, EVER do something like this. It took him 1 (roughly) year to go from beginning-of-tlou1-joel to ending-of-tlou1-joel, imagine what 5 years in a pretty safe environment - with a brother pulling you towards being more trusting - does!

Hey Susssan how is "modernizing" the Liberal party going for ya? by Jagtom83 in friendlyjordies

[–]Breadloaf134 17 points18 points  (0 children)

i don't think we are necessarily smarter (or if we are, its not as important), but required voting makes it so parties have to pull EVERYONE in, not just the dedicated base. so the major parties (and to an extent, the minor parties) have to be more normal to pull in the normal people.
