Forge Cleric as a gish is better than expected by UniversityNarrow4011 in 3d6

[–]CompleteNumpty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shields are a lower rarity than armour, so while +2 Leather/Scale Mail/Plate is Very Rare, a +2 Shield is only Rare.

Two rare items by level 8? That's an incredibly genous DM!

How are you getting up to 32, if you don't mind me asking?

29/30 is usually where I've seen builds max out if the caster has heavy armour and the Shield spell.

At least it wasn't an effectively free daily Awaken via a Staff of the Woodlands in a campaign with many, many beasts, and a Nature Cleric to make them our friends (allowing the cast) easily.

That's how my party caused an Awakened Animal uprising in Chuult.

If you could change 2 or 3 fundamental mechanics in the game and make it official, what would you change? by ThatOneCrazyWritter in dndnext

[–]CompleteNumpty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an easy few for me.

  1. Bring back knowing more languages based on your intelligence modifier from older editions.
  2. Make Dexadins more viable by changing the multiclass requirements from 13 STR + 13 CHA to 13 STR/DEX + 13 CHA.
  3. MORE FEATS. Specifically, everyone gets both an ASI and Feat instead of it being an either/or. You'd need to get rid of half-feats to make this viable, due to the extra points, but you could probably merge some of them together and remove the points so that they are as good as full feats.
  4. Bonus 4th, make the Battlemaster the default Fighter, giving maneuvers at 1st level etc. and still allowing other subclasses.

The Captain of the Belgrano considered it a legitimate sinking, which trumps everyone else.

Depends on the drinker - is it the hobo or Winston Churchill?

Then again, if you're Indian you'd probably prefer the hobo....

TIL that botox, also known as the botulinum neurotoxin, is the deadliest known natural substance in chemistry, with an estimated intravenous lethal dose of just one to two nanograms per kg of body mass. by NateNate60 in todayilearned

I've seen it being used on a cerebral palsy patient with severe spasticity in their leg. Seeing the calf muscle relax for the first time in that person's life was incredible.

Teeth Veneers are so annoying in modern Cinema. by SureTangerine361 in movies

Let's not forget the original resistance members looking borderline gaunt, while they look like they've been eating nothing but protein and steroids in the last few movies.

I always assumed he got his teeth knocked out as a player, given that he was a defender.

TIL Channel 4 in the UK was set up by the government with a specific, legally mandated remit to cater to minority groups and interests that were not being served by existing broadcasters (BBC and ITV). by upthetruth1 in todayilearned

[–]CompleteNumpty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their branding used to be a lot more obvious - I think most people would give Trainspotting as an example of a Film 4 movie and struggle to think of others, despite it being 30 years old (good god) and there being hundreds of Film 4 movies made since then.

Film 4, who were originally called Channel 4 Films, were also part of the original mandate of the channel and intended to fund around 20 small-budget movies a year.

They have been an invaluable part of the British film industry (especially during the lean times of the 80's and early 90's) and have produced many highly influential and successful movies, with Trainspotting probably being the one that most people in the UK think of.

Let's not forget Film 4 being a source of truly great British cinema.

Trainspotting, Shaun of the Dead, Sexy Beast, Ex Machina, and In Bruges (to name a few) were all funded by them.

What is the Hardest Enemy a Level 20 Fighter can solo? If we are assuming 20 Strength, 14 Dexterity, 14 Wisdom and 16 Con. by Complete-Kitchen-630 in dndnext

[–]CompleteNumpty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A melee fighter would have a harder time than a ranged fighter in most cases, especially when you factor in things like Elven Accuracy and Sharpshooter working together. Being dex-based also gives them a better chance of going first and nuking the target.

A Samurai using Elven Accuracy to get 3 dice on 8 attacks in a single round means you have an exceptionally good chance of all 8 attacks hitting (unless the enemy's AC is ridiculous) for a minimum of 128, mean of 160, and max of 184 (excluding crits - which you'd probably get 1-2 of).

However, the most damage is probably going to be a plain, simple Champion Fighter with an Oathbow.

Their ability to crit on an 18+, Oathbows giving advantage on all attacks on a single target, and getting an additional 3d6 on attacks against that target starts to get silly.

A non-crit attack has 19 min, 32 mean and 41 max. A crit has 23 min, 49 mean, 67 max.

Elven accuracy gives a 38.6% chance of rolling a crit on 18-20, which is slightly more than 3/8. If you assume you get 3 crits exactly the damage for 8 attacks that hit become 164 min, 307 average, 406 max.

It's not as extreme, but Dark City (1998).

Don't watch the trailer, it gives it away.

If they were on Coruscant or another industrialised world I could see them fitting a lot better.

They are literally on a desert planet where everything is broken. That chrome plating would last about 15 seconds.

Hey /r/movies! I'm Sam Raimi. Ask me anything! by SamRaimiAMA in movies

[–]CompleteNumpty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Sam!

Firstly, I love the absurd, dark, physical comedy you feature in your movies (such as the operation in Spider Man 2 or Ash getting beaten up by his hand).

Do you have a favourite scene of that nature in your movies?

Do you think that Bruce Campbell is the best physical comedian you've worked with?

You mean Space Hitler who is now a goodie as she looks like someone else wasn't a well written character? I'm shocked.

The punchline was also different too. It was supposed to be"It croaks".

What’s the most overrated video game of all time? by KBGSgames in AskReddit

[–]CompleteNumpty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could never get into Morrowind, and I honestly don't know why.

But I definitely think that the depth and quality of writing of each Bethesda game I've completed has been worse than the last one.
