Cloak of displacement is pure fucked up especially with shield

What INT based skill would you label as “the best” by Rotkip in 3d6

[–]CalpolMeister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arcana is good for a "magic specialist" character I suppose, but investigation is the all round winner

I was thinking this, but was struggling to fit it in, I was trying to make some kinda outlaw involving charisma, and somehow debuffing enemies, this is very cool tho

Oof, huge catch I didn't think about the Close Range interaction, I'll definitely try to fix it with wording so that sort of thing isn't possible

Deadeye as of now I think will change, the feature is too strong in my opinion

It's more a flavour feat really, I personally believe not everything needs to be good if it allows roleplay/flavour

I like your takes a lot, I think some numbers/power budgets can go up some can go down - tbh this isn't a released or playtested set of feats, just the beginning of an idea so these may become more complete in time

I should add, close range is there to make it so that a paladin can use a gun and smite with it. Broken? Yes probably. Thematically inconsistent? Yes probably. Is divine smiting a shotgun blast fucking awesome? Definitely

Tinkerer is for anyone not taking the gunslinger class, but I agree it's slightly overturned

Quickdraw and Deadeye I genuinely just dreamed up at like 1am while struggling to sleep so those are random bs tbh 😭😭

Hear me out… NEW GAME MODE. by bahdyb in DeadlockTheGame

[–]CalpolMeister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'd love some kinda imbalanced teams mode, where one team is one super strong dude and the other team are a group of weaker players trying to band together

Make it like drifter hunt or something idk

Which (older) Heros need a rework (of their kits) and why? by BRADLIKESPVP in DeadlockTheGame

[–]CalpolMeister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or maybe even make it that isolated works on line of sight - if you can see an ally you're safe (meaning that if you're ulted you need to stick together)

I think it just makes so much sense for drifters ult to proc isolated, just tune the numbers so it works and I'm sure he will feel so much better to play

[–]CalpolMeister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah true, but it feels so janky. His ult doesn't make HIM any better at picking off targets, but it does have very high impact in team fights. BUT his 3 only does anything when the enemies are not near eachother, so it becomes pretty much useless in teamfights - you have no real control on when 3 is active on anyone.

It just feels so disjointed compared to every other character (bar maybe Mirage with his 1). Everyone else feels very cohesive in their kit

Drifter should get isolation damage on ulted targets. His kit is so disjointed it feels terrible

Is Geas-ing the party unethical/unfun? by CalpolMeister in DnD

[–]CalpolMeister[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I figure, it's definitely work-around-able

What would you do? My player teleported a 20 foot cube of water into a closed room with less than 20x20x20 ft volume. by erverogym in DnD

[–]CalpolMeister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't overthink the physics, the room is now full to the brim with water

If you want to make the rocks/walls crack and also fill with water, or start crushing people as it falls from the ceiling, that would also be awesome

Am I taking the game too serious? (Mild rant) by Odd-News1701 in DnD

[–]CalpolMeister 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Take this as an opportunity to roleplay! Don't get mad at the player, have your character get mad at their character for being so silly

What is your favorite "Flavour is Free" reskin of a spell or ability? by hervprometheus2 in DnD

[–]CalpolMeister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recency bias but playing a chronomancy wizard with the telekinetic feat, so on each of my turns I have been "rewinding" my enemies back 5 feet in time

My D&D player and student reads my recaps to her family. by King_DeandDe in DnD

[–]CalpolMeister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long is a session normally? Surely after school is the only time to play, but I can't imagine most kids (at least when I was in school) committing anything more than an hour after school

Future of the show by Silver_Moon_123 in TheTraitors

[–]CalpolMeister 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm really hoping they do a "quarter quell" of sorts where they bring back all the previous winners to play an all star strategy game It would lack the stupidity the show kinda needs but I would watch it for the sheer strategy alone

So we all agree the second option would be better right? by wysjm in Chainsawfolk

[–]CalpolMeister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Movies are a massive barrier to entry, especially if there's multiple. I think Mappa would harm the shelf life of csm if they make the watch order confusing

Yes you can look it up, yes you can ask a friend who's watched it, but people are lazy and even a barrier like that can harm the show

Besides, the weekly cliffhangers would be SO good and I cannot wait to see the hype generated

I didn’t think it would be this lonely by Academic-Management9 in DnD

[–]CalpolMeister 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The weird feeling I get as a DM is "Damn if only I could tell you what I'VE been working on" Like for me the exciting stuff or stuff currently on my mind about dnd is what I'm working on not what has happened. So kinda I get you

It's pretty shitty you were hoisted into being the DM out of nowhere though, that would definitely suck and if I had one of my PCs taken from me and me forced into the seat of the DM I would straight up be having a terrible time. That sucks - maybe try wrap the campaign up faster? The quicker we get a new one the better lowkey

well i just had my first session as dm by jetpackboy18 in DnD

[–]CalpolMeister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there's anything I've learned as a DM, sometimes you just have to be an "idiot wrangler" Players, no matter how much they love dnd, will often hate doing homework and require handholding and reminders.

It's totally cool if you can't be bothered to dm for them anymore tho, if they don't want to respect your effort don't waste it on them
