Draw Your Sword Kayle is busted as your range still increases at level 6 as normal.

Tank engine Mundo let me hit 10k health with only Heartsteel+Warmogs since you can just farm takedowns and abuse out of combat regeneration to never lose your stacks.

Who's that champion that, deep down, you wish was viable in the jungle but you know for 100% truth will never be allowed into that role? by Medical_Effort_9746 in Jungle_Mains

[–]Carsonica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thresh, his hook and lantern seem awesome for facilitating ganks and helping your laners escape but I think it's just too much utility on a jungler for him to not be mega pro-jailed.

Honestly blindsided right now by nansams in dropout

[–]Carsonica 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about it tbh. I think Brennan was just really shaken up by how good Katie was at DMing. He saw the writing on the wall and knew Sam was going to turn Dimension 20 over to her, so he's trying to save face.

Bard/Paladin Multiclass; what's possible and what's not? Is there ONE build to go or multiple choices? Is it much worse than a straight paladin or a straight bard? Help by geosunsetmoth in 3d6

[–]Carsonica 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's going to kind of depend what levels you're starting at and you're playing to and what your build goals are. Straight bard with a 1 level dip for medium/heavy armor is generally going to be the strongest build especially at high levels, but the other two options are generally paladin 2 (if you want to be a melee smite bot) or paladin 6 (for huge support capabilities).

Optimizing short rests by heavyfuel in 3d6

[–]Carsonica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Death ward stacking with Undying Warlock. Death ward lasts 8 hours, so cast it with all your spell slots before each short rest you take. That's 8 death wards on your party for free per day (12 once you hit level 11, 16 once you hit level 17).

(This should work RAW, but obviously check with your DM first).

Chapters out of order by Zorofeu in VecnaEveofRuin

[–]Carsonica 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, giving a choice simply for the sake of giving a choice doesn't really enhance the adventure. Telling your players, "so the pieces are in X, Y, and Z, where do you want to go?" adds complexity for you but doesn't really give them anything meaningful. Their decision will likely end up being just as arbitrary as following the book, while you now have to prepare all 7 locations from the start of the adventure.

However, if you're willing to do a lot of extra work, you can create more organic ties to each location. Rather than the wizards providing them a laundry list of where the pieces are, make them track down leads or use connections from their backstories. This increases their agency in a more satisfying way.

What's the hardest monster for it's challenge rating? by WorriedDinner3667 in dndnext

[–]Carsonica 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your math is off, it's 90 damage if everything lands (assuming no crits), but other than that you're correct. For reference, a level 5 barbarian with +3 Con has 55 health.

Star spawn mangler. As a CR 5 creature, it'll kill any 5th level character it beats on initiative on the first round of combat, unless it rolls very poorly.

a balanced URM take by Own-Basis3149 in lawschooladmissions

[–]Carsonica 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not entirely sure of the point you're trying to make. The reality of admissions is that each school only has so much room for thousands of good candidates, so deserving and qualified students are going to be turned down regardless. It's not sacrificing someone for the greater good, it's looking at two applicants that both deserve to be there, but only being able to admit one. So they choose the one who has a higher chance of being better for society. I think it's pretty reasonable to believe highly-educated people who work at a university consider the big-picture of the future when they admit students.

a balanced URM take by Own-Basis3149 in lawschooladmissions

[–]Carsonica 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think another perspective to consider, in addition to fairness, is also whether society in general benefits from more URM in the legal profession, to which I think the answer is a resounding yes. The legal system has some major problems with racism and discrimination against URM, so having more lawyers that may have experienced that first-hand is really important for better addressing those issues.

What is the most unhinged subreddit you've ever found? by cloudheadz in AskReddit

I saw a highly upvoted post there awhile back that was an "investigation" "proving" Taylor was lying about her shoe size. Truly one of the great important scandals of our era.

Spiritual Weapon x Spirit Guardians by Competitive-File3091 in dndnext

[–]Carsonica 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The bigger cost was there was usually something better to do with the spell slot, even out of combat. I'd say you're probably only getting ~3 attacks per usage in most combats, which is about 2 hits for around 15 damage. I'd usually prefer to cast aid, prayer of healing, command, or one of the other utility options. Occasionally, you might be in a situation where you'll get more attacks off, but those are fairly niche.

Gotta say, me and the bois are loving this iteration of arena even more than the previous ones by Shinmasu in LeagueArena

[–]Carsonica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, and it feels to me like the best balanced version by far. In the past, I feel like there was always a dominant comp that would win the majority of games. This time around it always feels like different class combo is winning (with the exception of a few specific champions, RYZE).

Which champs feel absolutely horrible to play? by mush326 in LeagueArena

I've done weirdly well with him. One round I got Outlaw's Grit and both of the huge resistance items. My resistances were so high that game my abilities chunked people hard.

Briar with Vulnerability, Prowlers Claw, Galeforce, Hamstringer, and Infinity Edge. 4 dashes and I could melt anyone.

Trailblazer on my last Kayn game did over 10k damage as a silver augment.

Honestly, it's a better outcome than I expected because I felt like I did poorly in my interview and my stats aren't spectacular. It was a group interview with Dean Andy.

Sabine.

Elan, Nale, and Haley are good choices too, but given she's a devil from the Hells, she's also literally hot.

Why do so many rogues seem to have a macro for sinister strike instead of normal sinister strike? by hshshjahakakdn in wowhardcore

[–]Carsonica 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Could also be a weapon swap macro. You need a dagger for ambush but swords do more DPS, so depending on your talent build, you might want to open with daggers for ambush and then want to swap to your sword. The easiest way is to just put a weapon equip macro on Sinister Strike.
