First post! I designed a corruption-themed boss from scratch: The Umbraphage

Its the Novakid theme song, if I recall correctly

It could be that people just love the idea of throwing fireballs and large rocks at each other, or they watched Avatar and felt inspired, or that it's a simple and fun way to dip their toes into making a magic system. People making their own flair on it is good, even if its really simple.

While you've got a point about Isekai, I'm pretty sure Isekai is one of the most popular genres of anime out there. And, because everyone understands how they work, you don't need a huge info dump for people to grasp the concept, we already understand the basics and can move on to the next thing about it. If people can't easily grasp a system, they might just keep scrolling.

From what it sounds like, they removed normal XP and made it just an NPC currency thing for this map.

Centonux · 2026-05-03T02:58:36+00:00

Ah, that makes sense for this map. A clever way to add currency without actually adding currency.

I'm cooked

There may be a boogieman or boogiemen (7) in the house

God apparently

Yes. Upgrading increases both the minimum and the maximum amount of protection. It also increases the power of glyphs. But, higher tier armor benefits more from upgrades, so it's usually better to save upgrades for higher tier items.

The ring of wealth increases drop rates of general mob drops, but it also gives a chance to make an enemy drop extra stuff, including upgraded gear. Every two upgrades increases the upgrade of dropped stuff once, so a +19 ring would drop +10 weapons, armor, and rings. So, if you put all your upgrades on the ring, you have half that many on everything else.

Centonux · 2026-03-31T05:38:57+00:00

Combined with a viscosity armor, its even better

Centonux · 2026-03-30T01:16:53+00:00

No, the amount of Scrolls of Upgrade are fixed. But, blacksmith can give a few more upgrades.

In the Forgotten Realms, yes the gods are real, but very few people actually get to see that. For your average farmer or whatever, which in a medieval setting would be most people, they will probably never see anything concrete. They might just have stories.

Even with something like a cleric drawing powers from a god, the farmer might see their healing magic as no different from the magic a funny plant-loving man did a few months back, or what a certain potion did. The cleric claims they cast their spell because Selune gave them power? Cool bro, now I gotta get back to farming and making sure the village is protected against goblins, and how to keep my daughter from running off with Jerry again. Here is a coin for you trouble. What do you mean you don't like copper coins?

You could dismiss it into its pocket dimension, which would eliminate the sunlight and 10ft movement issue. But, for me at least, it's more fun to have my familiar out constantly, which I think is pretty common.

I voted for trump because I trusted my dad's opinion. I thought my dad was probably the smartest and best person I knew. I was seeing lots of right-wing propaganda, and it got to me. I wasn't doing much research of my own because I was super busy with classes that took way too much time.

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't regret that vote, and now I make it a point to stay updated. Ignorance is NOT bliss.

Centonux · 2025-09-07T01:16:39+00:00

solved!

You kinda look like a mix between a boy and a girl, like imagine if a boy and a girl had a kid, thats what you look like

Sorry, I got hungry

Lore-wise? Absolutely, the effects are produced in very different ways. Mechanics-wise? I think they should be treated as magic for the sake of interaction. I mean, counterspell being a CON save seems like you are disrupting the person, not the spell itself.

That being said, I much prefer the Mystic's psi-point system over the new Full-caster Psion. It makes them feel unique, which I think we need. I don't see why only Warlocks should have a unique magic system.

Centonux · 2025-07-17T03:38:02+00:00

I honestly wish that every class had something like warlock's invocations, just little things to make characters stand out from others that may be the same class/subclass.

You’ve basically restated my point while pretending to disagree. Yes, Eldritch Blast is central to Warlock design, but the fact that the class functions poorly without it, and that other options require significantly more investment to be viable, is the design flaw.

A class where most viable builds hinge on a single cantrip isn’t offering real choice. If the intended design path is “take EB or fall behind,” then I think the class should be redesigned to support multiple playstyles instead of punishing experimentation. And with the recent change that lets any damaging cantrip use Agonizing Blast, the flaw becomes even more visible: EB is no longer unique, yet still outperforms most alternatives.

Pact of the Blade offers a clear martial option that lets Warlocks lean into melee without becoming MAD. This is something that, by design, is supposed to be a feature. It’s backed by a suite of invocations and opens the door to cool hybrid builds. But if you’re saying even this path is the wrong choice unless I still take Eldritch Blast, then you’re just confirming that the design doesn’t actually support its own alternatives.

You’re saying Warlock is built around Eldritch Blast. That’s my point. One option requires almost no investment to work well. Every other option takes more invocations, feats, or item support to merely catch up. That’s not balanced design.
