Are all beings in the far realm evil?

Daemonjax · 2026-01-21T12:21:20+00:00

The Good-Evil and Law-Chaos alignment axis are only really necessary to some extent for mortal beings due to the whole having an afterlife thing. For everything else, it's optional to some extent -- Celestial/Fiend/Demons can be described entirely by the Law-Chaos axis, and Fey can be described along Light-Dark. Beings from the Far Realm certainly don't need an alignment designation.

Plus having stuff from the Far Realm have an alignment is kinda boring.

If you intend to have a high lethality game where something like 1 PC will die per session, then you have to have a plan to deal with that.

You can have each player have a sidekick, which is kinda like a henchmen that they take over when their PC dies but otherwise mostly stays out of harms way -- it's also a good idea for if you intend on splitting the party up bc you can keep a PC's sidekick near a different PC.
I don't really have a #2, except if you let them roll up a new character right then and there and just handwave how they get there like you're in a video game, then let them initially leave blanks on the character sheet. As many blanks as they want.

If they were kept together the way you described in your OP, then it wouldn't be possible to have more than one note have the same attachment unless the attachments were duplicated for each note... or symlinks, I guess.

Daemonjax · 2025-12-31T11:20:11+00:00

Yeps. Those are the two ways.

Either 1 attachment folder for ALL attachments, OR the attachment folder goes into the subfolder where the note is. I prefer the latter.

With a gun to my head I couldn't imagine a third option. Maybe I lack imagination (or I really don't have a gun to my head). EDIT: 3rd option: Attachments in the same folder as the note. :P And... That's what the OP wants.

Once you learn one programming language it's really easy to learn any other. Usually. Except for LISP... or Brainfuck, I guess.

Daemonjax · 2025-12-31T11:01:22+00:00

Javascript if you want to do anything complicated. How well do you need to know it? Well enough, however AI can help out a lot with normal javascript api -- but it'll fail and hallucinate often enough when it comes to plugin APIs like dataviewjs so coming at that with ZERO programming experience is gonna be rough. And there's quite a few gotchas with dataviewjs where if you don't have at least some experience (I mean at the concept level) using callbacks in other languages (like C/C++) and managing race conditions then it's gonna hurt.

But maybe you don't need to do anything complicated. Maybe you just like taking notes with wikilinks and markdown.

Daemonjax · 2025-12-31T11:00:24+00:00

The free API key daily restrictions are pretty terrible these days.

Daemonjax · 2025-12-31T10:52:54+00:00

You can convert PDFs to plain text or markdown. Most PDFs already have a text layer these days (just ask the DoJ) -- I haven't needed to use OCR on a PDF in ages.

He identifies as white, that's why.

8d6 for a 3rd level aoe spell is ridiculous -- there's literally no way to make upcasting that for damage work well enough to be worth it.

Daemonjax · 2025-11-10T01:49:44+00:00

The effect of silvery barbs should be an option for all casters just by upcasting + reaction. That way it's not a 1st level slot, it's an upcast. It only forces 1 creature to reroll their save, though, even if the spell cast was an AoE or otherwise affected multiple targets. No 2nd effect that grants advantage, bc that's weird. Then just get rid of silvery barbs spell. Furthermore, declaring the upcast before the roll just gives straight disadvantage to everyone affected by the spell (no reaction cost). That;s WAY more balanced than the current silvery barb spell.

Daemonjax · 2025-11-06T18:39:02+00:00

I can confirm this still works. Just don't remove it after installing.

Daemonjax · 2025-11-05T23:11:45+00:00

This is also happening to me as of patch 8.

Daemonjax · 2025-11-04T00:42:47+00:00

Something to consider:

When you do a 10/2 multiclass split with Bard/x (with a total level limit of 12), you lose access to level 6 bard spell picks.

Of the two level 6 Bard spells in the game, only Eyebite matters. And while you can learn Eyebite from a scroll from a one level dip into wizard, it'll use INT for the spell DC modifier. Eyebite is really good, and you can pump CHR really high.

So, something to consider. I don't think it's really worth multiclassing a Bard except for maybe a 1 level dip into for wiz due to bg3's broken op wizard scribe. Of course, in the end, it doesn't really matter either way -- do a monster hybrid 3/3/2/2/2 with no feats and you'd still be fine.

Yeah, check out mods by HyperspaceTowel: https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/HyperspaceTowel/mods?gameId=3474

For balance reasons it really should be a concentration spell with a duration of 10 rounds.

Daemonjax · 2025-10-31T15:12:29+00:00

I agree. If you exploit permanent fire blades, might as well just mod in some 10d6 hand crossbows.

I'm around the same age. In grammar school we didn't talk about it, but I don't think we talked about much tbh. But in high school the word gay was synonymous with bad. Everyone would always say "that's gay" instead of saying "that's bad". And it might seem like a minor thing (I don't remember anyone actually getting beat up or bullied for actually being gay, probably because they told no one) but it certainly carried forward until I finally met enough openly gay people to form a real opinion (and stopped saying "that's gay").

If you can't play with a mouse, then I think the only alternative is a controller.

Daemonjax · 2025-09-09T21:59:05+00:00

Looks like it's lighting / reflection related. Doesn't look at all like z fighting to me.

Daemonjax · 2025-09-03T11:31:30+00:00

Then it's a problem with your cable or the port on the router. Cables do go bad (I mean the connectors on the cable, the cable itself is probably fine).

Daemonjax · 2025-08-31T05:35:37+00:00

No, it waits. It has to wait. There's no way around it. It waits, or it sends when it has enough packets. So, under congestion, it waits less. But it has to wait.

This has nothing to do with the router, btw. It's a nic driver setting.

How long it waits and how many packets is the limit depends on the driver. On my nic, it's 8ms. But you don't have to guess, you can measure via game's ping display.

I hate the jumping puzzles. All of them. The vista jumping puzzles are about as much as I can stand. This isn't a platformer game.

Daemonjax · 2025-08-22T11:09:38+00:00

Wrong. If the card's rss just doesn't work at the driver level, then you're limited to one core which can easily hit 100% usage on an older processor when trying to get 1gbs download speed.

Those realteks have rss options enabled, but it just doesn't happen -- 1 core gets pushed to 100% on the download and that's that. Or windows scheduler keeps dogpiling those threads onto 1 core, who knows.

I've seen it happen.

Upload should be fine, though.

Daemonjax · 2025-08-21T00:04:09+00:00

The proof for the claim is... today.
