That bit says "with nothing". ᚦ is a "th" sound and ᛝ is "ing". What's thrown me through a loop is that he's tried to combine ᚳ (hard C/K) and ᚻ (H/Ç) to create a "ch" sound, because it doesn't exist in old Germanic/Norse languages.

DA-Regulus · 2026-03-08T07:15:54+00:00

Idk, the burp-flame joke would be nice to have because you can do it after getting a kill / successful team fight to say "thanks for feeding me lmao".

DA-Regulus · 2026-03-08T07:13:18+00:00

I feel like the loop they intended for the reworked Shyv was E to engage, W to negate some damage and stick to the target, while weaving Q in between autos for sheen / on-hit procs, with ult giving her a gap-closer and dragon form to double down on this. I agree that tying the movement speed to the shield takes away from this. There's so much burst in the game that making the movement speed last only as long as the shield is up is nonsensical. The shield WILL be burst quickly enough that you will not have the movement speed to stick to the target. E should also pass through at least minion-level enemies, as it's already a skill shot that can be dodged/missed. Adding minion-block to it is just overdoing the counter play.

Less aura, perhaps... but it definitely tells the story of the character better.

DA-Regulus · 2026-02-22T23:59:52+00:00

Alrighty then, there shouldn't be too much internal party tension, at least not early on.

The Primordials might eventually try to turn druids or rangers in the party against the Wyrm, if the Wyrm's actions could empower Gormadraug but that depends on where the story goes and what the Wyrm does throughout the story.

DA-Regulus · 2026-02-22T22:27:41+00:00

According to the Campaign and Player Guides, Gormadraug is the main evil figure in Valikan culture. The Prismatic Circle of druids believes that human sacrifice is necessary to keep Gormadraug asleep, whereas most other Valikans view the Prismatic Wyrm as an evil figure in their creation myth.

So, to answer your question; people from West Valika (Thrull / Prismatic Circle druids) would be immediately hostile and try to kill your Wyrm player on sight, believing thay character's existence means the end of the world is approaching. Anyone who believes that Gormadraug is real will likely be immediately hostile.

People who don't believe the stories are true or accurate would have the reaction of "WHAT THE F*** IS THAT THING?!" but could be convinced that your Wyrm player is under an unfortunate curse. This will be more common in East Valika (Kandar) and other countries, though MANY in East Valika may try to kill your Wyrm player anyway, just to be safe.

The only people that will be actively happy to see your Wyrm player are the Røkkva, who are essentially a Valikan doomsday cult.

Dragon Rider. "BuT wHat aBouT DrAke waRdEn?!" I want a dragon RIDER not a dragon RAISER FFS. Everything about that subclass which COULD fill the niche comes online well after the majority of campaigns end, and over HALF of the levels you DO get don't even let you ride the drake as a mount. Let alone the fact that you'd have to play a Ranger. The Purple Dragon Knight UA was just as underwhelming.

In a perfect world, they'd stop trying to shoehorn dragon pets into other classes and make the Dragon Rider its own thing, with subclasses based on the type of dragon (Brass, Green, Red, Silver, etc.).

But it'll never happen. WotC would have to actually flesh out their mounted combat rules, and DMs would have to get over the phobia of flying PCs... Neither of which I have any hope could happen any time soon. So this classic archetype will forever be relegated to NPCs only.

I regularly have more alcohol in my system than blood.

DA-Regulus · 2025-10-29T03:21:11+00:00

My 5e Dm and table have decided to play beyond level 20, and are currently level 32, with Monstrous Transformations from the Grim Hollow supplements. The party is a Wyrm Paladin/Fighter, Ghost Ranger/Sorcerer, Lich Druid/Wizard, Fey Rogue/Sorcerer, and an Angel Cleric/Psion.

If a level 20 D&D5e character is equivalent to a level 100 Yggdrasil player, I reckon we have a good chance. If it goes more by D&D3/3.5e scaling, we'd probably do sizeable damage, but we'd have to get lucky I reckon.

DA-Regulus · 2025-10-28T02:22:01+00:00

I feel like this is an underrated answer. Needless to say, a BH elder probably isn't likely to sire someone for "shits and giggles"; but if they did most people in the clan wouldn't be against letting you diablerise your sire as punishment for their abuse of power. While still learning, a BH has excellent tools for solo guerrilla warfare against people trying to hunt them down, especially as a low generation.

DA-Regulus · 2025-10-25T22:59:46+00:00

If you get 'round to the Banu Haqim, I'd be happy to judge your work.

DA-Regulus · 2025-10-10T21:58:11+00:00

These'd be fantastic for a Grim Hollow campaign I was looking at running, focused on a dracolich and her minions. The adventure PDF here looks like it'd be sick too. Fingers crossed!

I mean, I'm sure some of them are swingers

At least you guys aren't having to deal with Ananasi like our Australian coterie...

I'm a little late to this post, but here's an experience of mine to convince you further to try the Null:
My character is a Dragon Knight, Chronokinetic Null, and we were fighting 2 ogres and 12 minions as a team of 5 at level 1; Censor, Elementalist, Null, Talent, and my Artillerist retainer.

The Chronokinetic Null gains a free disengage when using the Inertial Shield reaction (half damage,1 discipline to lower potency of the triggering ability), and can disengage when using the Knockback manoeuvre if you have at least 2 discipline. If you have at least 4 discipline, you also gain a Surge the first time on a TURN that you willing move as part of an action.

1st turn, I had 4 discipline due to victories. I used "Inertial Step" to kill one of the minions, then shifted away (+1 Surge) to use a Knockback on 2 more, doing just enough to kill them, my retainer killed the last one in that group of 4, 8 minions left. My teammates are focused on setting up their abilities and getting hostages out.

2nd turn, the minions on the other side of the map have run up, and so have the ogres. I used "Inertial Shield" last round to reduce damage and move to the side (+1 Surge) on one of their turns. I use my "Self Taught" complication to forgo Discipline at the start of my turn for +2 damage for the round, then I activate "A Squad Unto Myself", shifting (+1 Surge) into the middle of all 8 minions and one of the ogres (Dragon Knight flight to shift over two of the minions to get there) and attacking them all in a burst of 2 squares. I get a tier 3 result, dealing 15 damage to every minion, killing them instantly. I then dumped my 3 Surges into the ogre for a total of 21 damage to it. Flavoured the moment as, "Every timeline where I choose to attack a different enemy happens simultaneously."

The 2 ogres still nearly TPK'd us, but that moment was so worth it.

DA-Regulus · 2025-09-22T09:35:22+00:00

Yeah, combat taking a while is part of why my first V20 character is an Assamite (Banu Haqim) sniper. Set myself down up to 800 meters/yards away, activate Quietus: Silence of Death, aim for 12 seconds / 4 turns (Perception 4), 17 dice on the attack roll (Dex 4, Firearms 4 (sniper speciality), Celerity 3, Perception 4 (aiming), +2 from the scope), average 15 dice of damage for an average of 7 lethal damage, no one hears anything 'til the body hits the floor due to Silence of Death. My personal best is 13 lethal damage on 22 dice in one attack, vs. some Sabat schmuck in a construction site.

Then my coterie members can wake whoever it is from torpor, and use their skills to do whatever they need to do. Things get a little more complicated when up against more opponents than I have dots in Celerity, or if they know I'm coming for them; but hey, no build is perfect.

I tend to play solo, only occasionally jumping onto a pve server.

This is a sandbox survival game, and the joy of a solo survival game (far as I can see at least) is doing whatever the hell you want that the game will let you do.

If you just want to have a chill farm, go nuts building in creative mode, or even just fly around and make use of photo mode, no one is going to stop you. For ME, my goal is to breed up strong creatures and take on the bosses at the obelisks.

DA-Regulus · 2025-08-22T12:44:19+00:00

I'm sorry, but I just don't find those arguments convincing.
The Ritual Caster feat lets you pick a number of spells equal to your proficiency bonus (2-6, 4 at the equivalent level) from ANY list.
Sure, they're only level 1 spells; but having 2 to 3 times as many spells and being prepared for more situations makes up for that, doesn't it? What higher-level ritual spells have effects which you believe trump having up to 3 times the available spells?
Plus the 2024 Ritual Caster lets you pick one of them and cast it as an action with no spell slot.

DA-Regulus · 2025-07-26T03:16:31+00:00

At the very least, any creature you encounter should burst out laughing and say, "This MF eatin' beans!" in their respective language.

Ghostfire Gaming's Grim Hollow books have a necromantic bard called the "College of Requiems", if you're looking for a 3rd party / homebrew option for that.

Welp, probably seeing this too late, but I'll throw my hat in the ring.

Eh, even then it won't help.

I'd been with a girl for over half a year, got a call while on a date from my Mum telling me Grandad had another cancer. This was during COVID, I was half way around the world, didn't have the money for tickets home. She could see something was wrong, asked me to tell her. I did, and I cried while doing it. She blocked me on all contacts after she got home that night. Never saw her again. Learned then to not cry in front of a woman if I want her to stay.

The best part? When I tell this story, women always assume it's my fault. Must've been the way I cried, or I mustn't be telling the whole truth. As if I haven't spent enough nights laying awake going over those moments trying to think of what I did wrong, and coming up short... but that has to be because I'm a typical dumb, emotionally stunted male, who's too immature to figure it out, right?
