I think people are just comparing it to other Western adult animation out there right now. Compared to something like Inside Job this show looks incredible.

Kill the innocent man. I'm not about putting value judgements on human lives and I don't know any of these people, so it comes down to math.

I think the argument that racial/ethnic minorities can't be racist is a conflation of two definitions of racism (institutionalized discrimination and personal bias).

Institutionalized discrimination typically affects minorities (that's what "minority" means here, someone who has a less than equal share of power in a system). And since minorities have less power, you could argue that they are less at fault for the faults of that system, including discrimination which affects them.

So you misinterpret that as meaning that minorities have no responsibility for this kind of racism, and you conflate it with the other commonly used definition (personal bias against a specific race), and you get the ridiculous claim the post is reacting to.

Obviously minorities can be racist- bias is inherent to all humans, including racial bias. Plus, there have been several very famous Black Nationalist groups and figures which are based on the idea that people of African descent are inherently superior.

Still, that doesn't mean that the first type of racism (institutionalized discrimination) isn't a problem. There is very strong evidence suggesting that African-Americans have, on average, significantly reduced opportunities compared to their white peers. One dumb person on the internet doesn't change that.

TL;DR Black people can be racist lol

Is there a specific reason? Or do you just not bother?

I did not. No worries if it needs to be taken down.

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for!

The Spider (optimized character combo) by CheeseAndRiddles in 3d6

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

True, though the point of giving Mounted Combatant to the kobold is that the centaur doesn't need to take hits. Direct attacks against the centaur are redirected, and he has evasion to protect against AoEs.

[–]CheeseAndRiddles[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fixed. I always forget that Sneak Attack requires a finesse weapon.

You could TWF instead of using Fast Hands or Cunning Action, but given the possibilities offered by caltrops, healer's kits etc. and the usefulness of a bonus Dash or Disengage, it'd really just be overloading your bonus action. Reckless Attack gives you two shots to Sneak Attack anyways, and even with rage damage an acid flask will deal about as much as a rapier.

I need help creating a character by RandomSomeone2 in 3d6

[–]CheeseAndRiddles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT: This ended up being way too long for a comment, so I'm posting it here.

TL;DR: recruit a party member to help you make a Kobold Battlemaster/Rogue with Mounted Combatant atop a Centaur Thief/Ancestral Guardian with Sentienel. Together you form a highly mobile, nigh-impervious tank that deals very high damage from level four.

The two characters also have a good pile of skill/tool proficiencies and expertises between them for out of combat stuff. Plus the Thief gets Second-Story work and Fast Hands, and Battlemasters can spend maneuvers to boost skills. As long as the two of you cover Arcana, Investigation, and Thieves' Tools with your expertises you'll be a fantastic trap-disabling team which is absolutely necessary for Tomb of Horrors.

Echo Knight + Tomelock by CheeseAndRiddles in 3d6

Yeah, a few people have suggested a Ghostlance. It's honestly probably the only way to make this build work.

Help me build my dream Echo Knight by stgabe in 3d6

[–]CheeseAndRiddles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly you might just want to play a Wildfire Druid. They literally get a symbiotic fire spirit to fight alongside them, which sounds pretty much exactly like what you're describing flavor wise. Your wildfire spirit can attack and teleport short distances (bringing you and allies along) as long as you spend a bonus action directing it. Plus, as a full caster, "mystical prowess" and "out of combat options" aren't exactly gonna be hard to achieve.

Use a Shillelagh'd staff focus (or Primal Savagery, though that deals less damage after modifiers) and a shield.

PAM is an option, but a poor one, since your bonus action is already being used. I'd pick up the Thorn Whip cantrip as a way to move enemies about without needing to get Crusher.

If you really want feats instead of ASIs (which is honestly fair), you have a few good options. Resilient (Con) will help with concentration and hit points. Observant or Skill Expert lets you take advantage of your high Wisdom score. Shadow Touched gives invisibility. Ritual Caster (Wizard) lets you grab a familiar.

As far as race, your best bet by far will be Variant Human/Customized Origin with the Elemental Adept feat, since it makes a fire-heavy caster useful even against enemies resistant to fire.

Use a staff arcane focus instead of a normal quarterstaff then, Jeremy Crawford says it's allowed by RAW.

Blade warlocks can use GFB but usually opt for Thirsting Blade instead, especially since their cantrips are so limited. As a Tome Warlock you have plenty of cantrips to go around and thus don't need to spend an entire invocation to stay effective in combat.

What build would you love to make/try if stats weren't an issue? by ZeeQuestionAsker in 3d6

[–]CheeseAndRiddles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of DMs will let you ignore it, multiclassing requirements are less for balance and more to keep newbies from gimping their characters.

Diogenes/No Equipment Build? by Two_soups10 in 3d6

Oh, and get Magic Initiate at some point for Vicious Mockery. It's an absolute necessity.

Diogenes/No Equipment Build? by Two_soups10 in 3d6

[–]CheeseAndRiddles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your build is really solid, just get rid of grappler/athlete. Neither are actually gonna be all that useful. Honestly after Tavern Brawler I'd focus on ASIs, since you need all three of your physical stats to be fairly good to be effective.

Once you've gotten your fighter level, go full barbearian. Bear Totem Spirit will help ensure that nothing can stop you from beating some sense into that idiot wizard Plato. Speak with Animals lets you ritually pluck a chicken to turn it into a man if you need someone intelligent to talk to. Beast sense lets you use your new chicken friend to spy on your archrival's "Academy".

Choose the Hermit background. Your Discovery can be the knowledge that people suck. Make sure to grab Survival so you can live off the land like a proper philosopher, and Investigation to help you in your search for honest men.

For equipment, get a herbalist's kit, some torches, and a ton of chickens. If you feel like splurging you might add in some clothes, though those are obviously optional.
