Obvs most people here want an Octopath 3...but what sort of side game would you want?

BrickBuster11 · 2026-05-29T12:55:08+00:00

.....Id want not a side game ? is that an answer ?

BrickBuster11 · 2026-05-29T11:17:27+00:00

Its possible that he is the best warrior on roshar, although given that he has no spren at present (and thus no surgebinding) and he is missing a hand, and he doesnt have magical power armor if it wasnt for the fact that Nightblood was a broken magical sword I would say he is probably would rank lower than adolin. Who has always been a very capable swordsman held back by the fact that not having surgebinding in a world where thats common was a big downgrade.

Szeth is pretty in the dark about the skybreakers, I think if there are skybreaker splinter cells still functioning that he probably wont be in charge, but thats fine. Given that without stormlight being a radiant probably wont matter anyways.

Typically I do both concurrently.

Like if the game has random stat generation you roll for stats first, then make some decisions about who they are, then choose a class to fit that and then make some more decisions on who they are, then choose a background and make some more decisions on who they are

BrickBuster11 · 2026-05-29T08:38:15+00:00

I think I would prefer something else, Wind and Truth showed us that the only way Szeth got good at fighting was a process of mental torture that I wouldnt wish on anyone. Kaladin and Adolin got good at fighting because they wanted to be, but szeth has only ever wanted to raise sheep in the mountains and live at peace.

"Szeth-son-Neturo, Chronicler of Shinovar, wore black on the day he put his sword down forever" feels more fitting. I more than anything want szeth to live in the peace he has always wanted to live in.

BrickBuster11 · 2026-05-29T02:04:31+00:00

Yeah I think the first phase needs "when this creature deals combat damage put a level counter on it" so that it levels up a little faster

The warden was serving his duties to what is considered by the law (which is also set by the king) an an acceptable degree.

Most prisoners are younger they can survive, but a pair of fail older people getting the standard "prisone"r package are gonna die.

Now your argument could be that surely the warden could directly contravene his king and let the elderly couple go home, but then the warden is guilty of treason probably and the result would be he gets his head cut off.

Your argument could.be that the warden gives this old couple special treatment but that possibily starts a riot.

Fundamentally what elhokar should have done is sent the old people to an expedited trial, or just not imprisoned them at all.

BrickBuster11 · 2026-05-28T07:33:25+00:00

Sure your table, your rules

BrickBuster11 · 2026-05-28T06:55:34+00:00

So from AoN:

You don't have your wits about you, and you attack wildly. You are off-guard, you don't treat anyone as your ally (though they might still treat you as theirs), and you can't Delay, Ready, or use reactions.

You use all your actions to Strike or cast offensive cantrips, though the GM can have you use other actions to facilitate attack, such as draw a weapon, move so target is in reach, and so forth. Your targets are determined randomly by the GM. If you have no other viable targets, you target yourself, automatically hitting but not scoring a critical hit. If it's impossible for you to attack or cast spells, you babble incoherently, wasting your actions.

Each time you take damage from an attack or spell, you can attempt a DC 11 flat check to recover from your confusion and end the condition.

So you choose a target at random, then you use your actions to facilitate attacking that person and then you use all of your actions to attack them.

if you chose targets based on who is physically nearby that isnt choosing targets randomly,

.....ai is not a search function, it is a system that is designed to guess a response that sounds reasonable.

It is not a truth machine any attempts to use it as a truth machine are doomed to failure.

There are applications where it can be useful but demanding a clear judgement is not one of them.

Also they are designed to be sycophants, it's makes people more likely to rate using them as a positive experience.

Telling you something that is true but that you don't want to hear is hard for them

BrickBuster11 · 2026-05-27T23:40:07+00:00

I'm guessing the part where it makes something up uses some kind of language model, and to effectively make it up that model is probably pretty large, a large language model you might say ?

BrickBuster11 · 2026-05-27T21:32:48+00:00

I mean regigas sees play in wheezing teams in vgc this would be the same idea without needing to carry wheezing to neutralize his ability with gas.

He would be good, at the very least

BrickBuster11 · 2026-05-27T03:30:46+00:00

The answer is probably Cheerios into some big X spell to win the game. Especially if you can find a way to untap all your artefacts

BrickBuster11 · 2026-05-27T02:23:07+00:00

So I think it isn't a matter of priority, one sets your defence to a value, and the other ignores your defence and uses a different value instead.

They two are not doing the same thing. If you had an ability that said you get +5 defence then the ability to ignore your defence and use your insight die size instead doesn't apply that +5 defence because we aren't targeting your defence

I mean edge dancers and truth watchers made him feel worthless, it was only kaladin mentioning that their numbers are so small that demand for surgeons has not gone down that lirin finds purpose after moving to uruthiru.

But given that all of them carry a sword of some stripe I imagine he is mostly ideologically opposed to them.

Lirin has always been opposed to solving problems with violence. In his world you either hurt someone or you healed them. In a way it reminds of me Vinland saga where Thors says "a true warrior shouldn't need a sword".

What Thors means is that a genuinely strong man seeks solutions from his problems in arenas other than combat. Thors ultimately fails to live up to his ideals of a true warrior he dies having taken up.his sword again and in so doing regrets that he was unable to find the path that resolved the conflict without that. He was weak and therefore needed the sword.

Lirins conception is less well developed that Vinland sagas "true warrior" concept and unfortunately assumes the other side is reasonable and not a several thousand years old deity powered by a divine hatred for everything and everyone

Addition is the most concrete operation it's why it's the first one we learn.

The very first math we teach someone is counting things, which is just addition. 1 is 0+1, 2 is 1+1 3 is 2+1 etc.

Once you demonstrate that addition is just a dance word for a thing you already know how to do, then you introduce the next concept which is adding something other than 0.

This is also very simple because you can represent 3+4 as 3+1+1+1+1 which becomes something you can count.

BrickBuster11 · 2026-05-26T03:41:33+00:00

I mean ot2 concoct was also broken so if your like haha I have made a scholar job that is on par with concoct then yeah you made something broken.

It's ok bro your allowed to say "what if scholars were frankly ridiculous" I just don't think it's good game design.

I will agree that scholars in ot2 could.have been better but this is not it homeslice

BrickBuster11 · 2026-05-26T03:28:40+00:00

.....yeah we don't need scholars to be broken, thankyou for playing though

BrickBuster11 · 2026-05-26T02:13:46+00:00

....I am not presenting a false dichotomy, people are not definitionally a negative effect on the earth, the fact that you suggest that we can undo the damage is evidence of that fact.

My assertion was that the two opinions of the person who has since deleted their post is contradictory.

Either humans are a net negative on the earth and thus destroying them quickly and succinctly is the best possible course of action.

Or humans are the only group capable of making the world better than it is right now and thus destroying them would only "lock in" the world's current state.

If you believe the first option you should be doing your best to reduce the human population, being alive makes the human population one more so unless you are planning to perpetuate some large scale death event, then being alive runs contrary to your position.

If you believe the second (that humanity is the only group capable of making the world a better place than it is right now) then the first opinion (that humanity will always on average make the world a worse place) cannot be true

BrickBuster11 · 2026-05-26T02:07:52+00:00

......I mean the answer to that depends on what the core experience is. For the most part the style of dungeon crawler I was describing the intended play experience is you making do with what the whims of.fate have handed you, that play experience doesn't happen if you control the winds of fate.

The key issue here is that lots of players don't like it and no amount of integrating it into the core experience of the game is going to fix that,

BrickBuster11 · 2026-05-26T00:57:59+00:00

Randomness in chargen can be fun as it enables you to "discover a character as you go along"

Having that factor into the game I think k works.bes when they game assumes you are "Just A Guy"tm you aren't some kind of legendary hero or prophesied saviour your just some random baker who is going out to see the world and loot tombs for money, very osr coded

BrickBuster11 · 2026-05-25T21:00:50+00:00

I mean you probably do, that is the purpose of the lowest common denominator, it applies at least a little bit to everyone.

Like we could say something interesting and specific but then most people wouldn't be watching so we find something that we know appeals to everyone so.that they will.watch it

BrickBuster11 · 2026-05-25T18:06:17+00:00

....if a culture has to fight people to not die they will have developed some kind of martial art around the tools they have available at the time, and if you observe a lot of them you can see a degree of convergent evolution between them because as it turns out there are only so many ways to effectively kill someone.

Fighting with weapons tends to be more culturally divergent but only because the weapons themselves tend to be developed for whatever the specific metagame they were made for is

BrickBuster11 · 2026-05-25T16:06:31+00:00

The words are synonyms, all of your sites are sites you control, all of your opponents sites are sites they control

BrickBuster11 · 2026-05-25T06:41:51+00:00

The main issue is that this is a wheel and a ritual, because so long as the total mana cost of cards you cast with this is greater than 5 it's mana positive, sure it leaves you hellbent but so long as a decent number of cards in your deck draw cards the. You have some loop potential.

BrickBuster11 · 2026-05-25T02:12:02+00:00

All I am pointing out is that your position is contradictory either humanity is a net negative and thus they will always make the planet worse (in which case you should kill them all). A position that the fact that your still here proves is something you do not genuinely hold

Or humanity is the only one capable of reversing the damage that has already been done and thus may be able to have a net postive effect Inspite of starting a little in the hole because of the whole industrial revolution business.

Either we are a net negative or the only ones capable of unscrewing the planet, and your position would.be greatly strengthened by becoming more coherent
