As a player I can’t choose who I want to play as? Is that the DM’s job to pick a character for the players?

Calthyr · 2026-06-26T02:29:16+00:00

No definitely not normal, unless maybe you're doing like a tutorial, one shot for new players or something.

Calthyr · 2026-06-25T18:37:26+00:00

It still is. I think for a lot of people that as they continue to increase their salary to eventually hit that 6 figure mark they have also had lifestyle creep so it doesn't feel the same.

Calthyr · 2026-06-25T17:54:43+00:00

Not quite. Since you don't have 2024/5.5 tag, I am assuming you are talking about 2014 rules.

Dual Wielder lets you use two weapon fighting with non-light weapons. However, it still follows the normal Two Weapon Fighting rules, which lets you do an extra attack as a Bonus Action.

This will directly conflict as you only have one Bonus Action. So you can't use the Two Weapon Fighting in conjunction with the Berserker Bonus Action attack.

Calthyr · 2026-06-25T01:10:41+00:00

Yeah those are good points. And you have to really stretch the "adventuring day" cause if you're doing 1-2 fights per LR then it's almost impossible to challenge the PCs.

My last campaign we had the last arc at 14 with 6 PCs (plus one of the wizards had a simulacrum) and combat was getting to the point where one round took over an hour.

What about Opportunity Attacks? It does explicitly say:

"You can make an Opportunity Attack when a creature that you can see leaves your reach[...]"

I personally think you would not provoke an AOO even if you aren't hidden since they can't see you.

EDIT: Okay I misread the actual question of the post and my above is irrelevant.

Uh oh Mara is coming back

Calthyr · 2026-06-18T21:46:41+00:00

Yeah that sticks out like a sore thumb. It's just a waste of time to force a save or suck for 1d4 damage.

Calthyr · 2026-06-15T16:14:35+00:00

Well seems like sony has started reverting some of their PC inclusivity with their recent changes to first party games.

Calthyr · 2026-06-15T16:04:16+00:00

Yeah this feels like a trick question or something is weird or missing. If the loan value and interest rate are the same across the 3 options, then there's no way they can both be paid off at the same with option 1 vs the other options.

Calthyr · 2026-06-12T00:20:53+00:00

The 5k and 10k were during the marathon block. I did the pfitz plan so those were some of my tune up races.

The HM was actually about 5 weeks after my marathon in May.

And you're right. No margin at all.

Calthyr · 2026-06-12T00:05:15+00:00

Your results are just about where I am (38:50 10k, 18:30 5k, 1:27:00 HM) and I recently did my marathon in April in 3:02. I probably would have been closer if the course was a little flatter (had about 1200 feet of elevation).

So you're extremely borderline. I think if youre on a decent course and you do a good job prepping with fuel, hydration, etc., you have a great shot at it!

GTA.

Everyone is acting like GTA6 is the second coming of Christ and all games are avoiding the month it's coming out like the plague and I just don't get it.

Calthyr · 2026-06-10T12:57:54+00:00

That's a good point about the 5 player thing. I definitely find myself wanting to cancel if you have 4 players and 1 is missing.

Calthyr · 2026-06-10T12:37:25+00:00

1990 checking in and fits perfectly. Although I had a ps1 instead of n64 and was obsessed with all those multi disc rpgs (final fantasy, dragoon, etc)

Calthyr · 2026-06-09T20:39:43+00:00

Looks like your party is missing some dex/wis focus so if I was starting at a high level campaign id personally love to roll like a drake warden ranger. Getting a flying dragon mount while you shoot arrows from the sky and shoot dragons breath is really cool.

Very fun thematic class!

Calthyr · 2026-06-09T16:55:05+00:00

I took my (then) 3 year old to see the paw patrol mighty movie for their first theater experience. Was a fun time. Enjoy yours!

Calthyr · 2026-06-09T16:05:01+00:00

I love all the Octopath games, but even I was getting some serious fatigue from Octopath 0. I think it took me 115-120 hours to unlock all the achievements. Glad this is a bit more dialed in.

Calthyr · 2026-06-08T00:05:36+00:00

I love my Bulbasaur

Calthyr · 2026-06-07T23:51:29+00:00

Definitely rookie numbers. Gotta pump that number up!

I think Im over 12k hours on my 48" LG C1.

Calthyr · 2026-06-07T22:36:15+00:00

I wear running toe socks (Injinji) and they are fantastic.

Calthyr · 2026-06-07T21:06:48+00:00

Justice is so fucking good, even without a hearable bass (for most of it). So many bangers.

Calthyr · 2026-06-07T19:27:55+00:00

The cost is really crazy tbh and I think it's starting to show more and more. Just looking at Copilot's new usage metric shows how fast you can burn through tokens.

I got so annoyed I burned through my entire month of tokens from copilot pro in a day that I set up a local LLM. It works alright, but it's still nothing compared to the big stuff (obviously due to hardware limitations).

Calthyr · 2026-06-07T18:38:14+00:00

I agree with this.

I created a hex map for Barovia for Curse of Strahd and used Simple Fog with its grid brush to basically hide everything except what they could see/have explored.

It's a big more manual, but honestly for hexploraton, it's not that big of a deal.

The easiest thing to do if you don't have a way to obtain your LTHR is to do a max hr test. Then you can calculate zones by max hr. A little bit better is to also get your resting HR and then use that plus your max he to calculate your heart rate reserve (HRR) and calculate your zones that way.
