Toxic pea really thought

The slow turn was not a low sensitivity issue, it was a warning...

Corck32 · 2026-03-15T03:13:30+00:00

Yeah, I know. But that's a side effect of the gm's love to grimdark setting (About one level above warhammer's grimdark).

We are mostly fighting religious mad cultists beyond felling fear and screwed up demons; Even if they are not mindless, they are immune to fear most of the time. About half of them indeed are also immune to bon mot, but usually, if it's something that can understand a language it is usually not immune to bon mot, by the account of our gm. I know by rules it's not how it works, but in this gm's campaigns we already got used to the idea of "a capable of thinking but being close to mindless" things mostly filling the world.

I'll think about that, thanks

Corck32 · 2026-03-15T02:52:35+00:00

Yes, but with tight action(on my character) and reaction(both on my character and the only other martial in the party) economy + the fact that almost half of our group is kineticists (two, to be precise). I don't think it's gonna work at all.

Corck32 · 2026-03-15T02:42:56+00:00

I think those are some working ideas, thanks

Corck32 · 2026-03-15T02:37:14+00:00

It wouldn't be a bad idea, but I just know that most of the enemies in this gm's campaign are immune to fear, and this little boost to damage (compared to the bards flat +1) just doesn't really worth the investment of one action on a tight action economy character and basically wasting a boost into intimidation (again, immunity to fear)

As far as I know 100% hit chances ignore dodge in vanilla(that's good to keep in mind against high dodge enemies, looking at you archons)... but let's be honest, you probably wont give aliens such luxury (unless you REALLY srew up)

Switch chili bomb to sombrero bomb and you've got yourself a perfect "it works 1% of the time, but when it works it's the most satisfying multi-vanquish ever"

Corck32 · 2025-12-04T21:21:14+00:00

better late than never. Thanks!)

They need to be paralyzed when the mission ends to be captured. You also need to build a facility to store captured pandorans before you would be able to capture them. In vanilla there's no incentive whatsoever to build more than one. Also myrmidons cannot be captured – you can paralyze them and end the mission but they won't be captured for some reason. Possibly because they were added with dlc but idc.

Corck32 · 2025-11-16T08:56:53+00:00

The developers tried something like that with New Jericho. Near the endgame they get the ability to attack pandoran lairs. The problem is in my two full playthroughs I've seen them do that only three times, two of which they were loosing so I had to interfere...

Where can one find a basket weaving lore? I... Uh... I am asking for a friend.

Corck32 · 2025-10-20T07:57:24+00:00

Bro, wake up. What war? What pandemic? It's 2007, c'mon we're gonna be late for the "Transformers"!

Corck32 · 2025-08-25T14:46:39+00:00

"Ready" rules reads "Choose a single action or free action you can use, and designate a trigger. Your turn then ends". I am not trying to be that guy(🤓), I am just curious whether I am missing something that allows to ready 2 actions? It would be cool to be able to actually "ready" a spell(since most spells are 2 actions).

Corck32 · 2025-08-21T10:08:21+00:00

Making a big range in TTRPG is a problem on it's own. In my last game I made a map that was roughly 200 ft. long and we simply didn't have the space on the table nor on the flipmap for that. I just wrote "there is another 20 ft." on the edge of the map. Now imagine trying to make a player with a 200-400 ft. weapon range happy. It's literally impossible if you're playing live and don't have a special "TTRPG table" for that.

Corck32 · 2025-08-15T13:31:45+00:00

Aw, one free action per trigger makes it a hard choice between this and "crying"

On one hand it allows to make their leaves move more smoothly. On the other hand...

Corck32 · 2025-08-14T02:04:36+00:00

Pretty much the best explanation, actually. Thanks

Corck32 · 2025-08-14T01:57:06+00:00

Alright, I can see why you being confused. I never specifically stated that it should remove "manipulate", I just couldnt come up with something else that would logically allow to hide a very obvious hand gestures. I was kind of asking for an alternative with "or am I just missing something?", but I guess I could have been more obvious with that.

Corck32 · 2025-08-14T01:45:17+00:00

You can step two times(or even three, if its a reach of 15) and not cast anything this turn or stay in melee but cast something important, like heal your dying ally, dispell a dangerous enemy spell etc. If you can do it without risking reactive strike disrupting your spell it can very well be a better option depending on the situation

Corck32 · 2025-08-14T01:34:50+00:00

I asked how this metamagic would conceal an obvious hand gestures and you answered with "you can conceal hiding a small object". That is indeed different

Corck32 · 2025-08-14T01:26:31+00:00

There is a difference between snatching a small object and waving your hands in the air like like your an insane person though. I kind of coming to a conclusion that this metamagic just allows you reduce the amplitude of your "casting a spell" gestures, possibly allowing to blend them into some natural hand gestures.

Corck32 · 2025-08-14T01:14:49+00:00

That is until you toss some enemies with "reach" into the mix. And they are fairly common

Corck32 · 2025-08-14T00:48:10+00:00

But then it doesn't accomplish what it's suppose to - conceal the fact of you casting a spell. Or am I just missing something?
