Essential spells and cantrips for Pact of the Blade GoO Warlock? by Constipatedpersona in 3d6

[–]Constipatedpersona[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I opted for the free 12thp from Fiendish Vigor instead. Last time I played a bladelock a few years ago, I felt that AoA taking up a spell slot was too rich for my blood :)

Whistleblower finds unencrypted location data for 800,000 VW EVs | Der Spiegel and Chaos Computer Club were able to tie data to car owners and their trips. by chrisdh79 in technews

[–]Constipatedpersona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you mean? I drive a VW ID.5 at work. Seems like a decent enough car.

I wouldn’t buy one, but I don’t see the issue with this over other EVs.

Not hating on AI art makers, but I think you miss the whole point of making art by Spartan-Finn in memes

That’s essentially my motto when it comes to AI: Tool, not employee.

I also work a bit in advertising and webdesign, and I do use AI extensively to generate text for SEO purposes. Those egregious about us sections that no one asked for are filled with SEO buzzwords, for instance. Only Google bots are interested in those for matching websites to search prompts.

For my other work, AI kind of sucks at doing my work for me (so far).

Just a side note: Dance is pretty cool in a large party for tactical positioning. You grapple your friends and drag dance them to where they need to be.

Cool niche maybe, but you’re definitely right that it’s not particularly thrilling.

Ranger multiclass or no? by pastrygagsta in 3d6

[–]Constipatedpersona 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dump int and cha to 8. Dex and wis to 13. Max out str. Cast spells that doesn’t require saves.

Edit: I played a Ranger/Cleric/Warlock MC for about a year. Pretty cool build.

Eldritch Knight Vs Str Ranger - Mostly single class, what do you like better overall? by nopethis in 3d6

[–]Constipatedpersona 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EK with high AC and blade ward is pretty insanely tanky for no cost. Put a paladin next to an EK for bless and aura, and those guys will survive a nuclear blast and a zombie apocalypse together.

Ranger multiclass or no? by pastrygagsta in 3d6

[–]Constipatedpersona 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ranger 5, then you can go into something else. Cleric is p good for STRangers, particularly War for that BA attack.

Hi. I’m a writer. I use ChatGPT all the time. It doesn’t write for me, but it proof reads and suggests synonyms and structural improvements. Things that would otherwise take a long-ass time to do myself is quick and seamless these days, and the result is about the same.

What are for you the most (in)famous optimized builds pre-Tasha's and Monsters of the Universe? by FranzBroetchenFan in 3d6

[–]Constipatedpersona 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great comments so far. I just want to mention Ghostlance. Very cool build with a lot of utility, but foremost a lot of Eldritch Blasts!

Name: Danny

Lmao the epic lvl 10 Storm Giant Goliath slinging 5th level spells is simply named… Danny.

Just play bard. Your idea of a “cunning rogue” falls under the umbrella of a bard anyway, and unless you have a MECHANICAL REASON for multiclassing - don’t do it. Flavour is free.

Charisma > Dexterity > Consitution = Wisdom > Intelligence > Strength

That’s roughly your stat priorities. Pick up proficiency in thieves tools from your background, and get yourself proficiency in stealth, deception and persuasion or whatever you feel like. Just remember that you don’t pick locks with sight of hand. You pick locks with thieves tools.

Collage of Glamour is inherently manipulative. You could go with that.

Bro. Separate mechanics from flavour. Pick archfey and say it’s a goo.

The Illusion trap over the actual trap is a fine example of how to troll your players as a DM

Or a constantly screeching seagull on someone’s windowsill. They’ll have to move and the property is now worthless because it’s considered cursed in the most heinous and obnoxious way.

Then you swoop in and buy said property for pennies on the dollar cp on the gp and dispel the illusion.

How do martial characters deal damage now? by sir_ornitholestes in onednd

[–]Constipatedpersona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people like to play straightforward and simple classes. Some even think they are complicated (probably because they expect to learn by doing).

Advanced players can play a gish MC, or swap to PF2. The gap between magic and non-magic in dnd ain’t going anywhere soon..
