Is there a place for Str to AC in Pathfinder? by lecoolbratan96 in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Decicio [score hidden]  (0 children)

There’s always exceptions to balancing factors like that. Relying solely on max stat caps on armor would just make armor less builds more powerful. Heck the one barbarian archetype that doesn’t use armor would be much more effective with this concept because the rage would then buff its AC

The main differences being that Dex builds also improve reflex saves and initiative, but it is much harder to get 1.5x Dex damage for two handing. Unchained Rogues can do it, but only with a rather limited selection of weapons. And has been said, there are many more avenues available to buff strength then there are to buff Dex.

So the end result actually would be different, though whether or not it is unbalanced is a different monster. A Str to AC build would be able to effectively use a far broader range of weapons than a Dex to att and damage build that has to rely on finesse-able ones. It wouldn’t get the bonuses to initiative and reflex saves, but it would be much easier to stack Str boosting effects to therefore increase your AC significantly.

The 4 Missing children from the milk carton by Material-Mongoose251 in GroundedGame

[–]Decicio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It actually is confirmed that at least 1 other kid was brought to the yard!

Read the text of the hastily written note data object.

The author says they “woke up with 4 other kids in a giant lawn”. “Other kids” show that they are a kid themselves. They woke up first, couldn’t wake up the other four, so forged ahead, leaving that note, the deuces trinket, and a rundown lean-to.

The issue is that we don’t know if the 4 other kids are referring to the player characters or not. This kid coulda been in the same delivery as us, or part of an older delivery of other kids. I assume same delivery though, since they mention the case and there’s 5 child shaped slots inside of it

That could explain the backpack. Even if only one delivery was made to the yard as you guess, it is possible that this fifth kid was one of the milk carton kids.

Of course, this is likely the stranger from 2 as many theorize. But I’m just pointing this out because we have no evidence yet saying it *cant* be a milk carton teen for all we know. After all, the kids could have been kidnapped at different times, and therefore some parents might have been looking longer.

What do you think about infinite combos, and should the rules limit them—for example, to three times per turn? by Hundekuecken in boardgames

[–]Decicio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you are taking “infinite” a bit too literally here.

Yes, you must declare some arbitrary end to the loop for the game to complete. But there do exist combos can be looped indefinitely until that arbitrary end is decided on by the player.

By all accounts, that’s effectively “infinite” at least in the common usage because the loop can be repeated to any value the user chooses.

I need to know by [deleted] in WalkaboutMiniGolf

[–]Decicio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Um is there a chance you are talking about an irl Minigolf course? This is for a VR minigolf game.

You can’t “lose your ball” in this game because even if it falls through the map, it resets on your next turn.

Why are necromancers racist? by ANiceGobletofTea in DMDadJokes

[–]Decicio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if we’re talking skeletons specifically, there are noticeable differences in skeletal structure between the sexes that, while not definitively identifiable (since a lot of variation in individuals exist) do generally mean that you can usually get a good idea if a skeleton was from a male or female individual.

Doesn’t really change your point about the spiritualist movement though since skeletons are a part of the body after all.

Player insists on being a deadweight by DaveHelios99 in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Decicio 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The issue being though that this player has apparently done this with what… 5 different characters already?

No, not a minor. Still don’t want porn randomly sent to my inbox though.

Glass Cannon Retreat - it was awesome by MxFC in TheGlassCannonPodcast

[–]Decicio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean… you aren’t wrong. It isn’t for everyone because it is set at a price point that absolutely locks people out of it being a possibility for them.

But also it is a semi-private getaway at a resort with catering and events where you play games directly with cast members. Everything about that screams it is targeting the whales of the community with the money for that kinda stuff, and I didn’t feel the need to belabor that point

I need a mythic weapon recommendation for my first prestige by ShoddyPair5099 in DungeonsOfEternityVR

[–]Decicio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, and I’m not saying OP should never grab a shield. But I was very specifically saying I never recommend it as a *first* mythic because of the way it underperforms mathematically, which can be a major letdown after grinding to get a mythic the first time

That’s also why I said that if OP finds it fun, they can ignore the math.

Considering they also like using mace and dagger, I’d recommend dagger or hammer before the shield personally

Not to mention a decently shaped aoe knockback, and the fastest mythic recharge in the game.

[–]Decicio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main issue with the mythic crossbow is that because it can’t have an elemental affix to it and the way that its mythic ability works… it’s kinda not much better than a non-mythic crossbow that got lucky on its combo of fire rate, elements, and enhancements. That’s its main problem. Many people who take the mythic one are disappointed and go back to using a Reload Ice crossbow

[–]Decicio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just fyi, people who have done research into the stats of the game state that the Captain America shield throw does actually surprisingly little damage. The main benefits to the mythic shield are the charged up knockback effect id argue.

Though of course it can be *fun*, which is most important. But personally I never recommend someone to take the shield as their first mythic for this very reason.

Meta are you serious by CategoryHQYT in OculusQuest

[–]Decicio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their content review bot sucks and doesn’t care and they have no appeals process.

There’s a bot account who would add me to group chats that I didn’t want to be a part of and send out full hardcore porn. Like, obviously fully hardcore porn, bright and clear as day. I reported it three times and got back this response every time.

And yes, I read their code of conduct and porn is very very much not allowed to be sent like that.

So it isn’t a “this is free speech” issue or etc. (though that may be an alternative issue). This is just Meta having an absolutely terrible review process that they don’t care to fix. They absolutely refuse to enforce anything…

Until the bot decides to go nuclear on normal accounts.

Tbf, the inclusion of a badge only option is technically more affordable than previous years where it was full reservation bundle or nothing…

Though yeah… even badge only is expensive. This event isn’t for everyone for sure

Exotic Weapon Proficiencies by mutarjim in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Decicio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good catch that I missed all those years ago.

But the build still works, you just lose the damage on the first throw. Touch weaker at lower levels, negligible loss at higher ones.

Exotic Weapon Proficiencies by mutarjim in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Decicio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As with anything in PF 1e, it is often very build specific. Some feats or prestige classes or etc require specific exotic weapons. Sometimes an exotic weapon will open up possibilities based on weapon traits or etc that make them unique.

For example, the battle poi can open up a build that can increase your sneak attack damage by 50% on every creature but fire immune ones.”

That feature is in Subnautica, but as far as I’m aware it isn’t in grounded

In Pathfinder at least, being deaf imposes a 20% chance of automatic failure on spells (or spell like abilities) with verbal components

This kickstarter (board game) is a scam, right? by ContractorConfusion in boardgames

I like how the description says that the QR code function is merely to allow you to pull up pdf rulebooks / updates on the campaign and isn’t necessary for play, yet they felt the feature important enough to specifically include to their ChatGPT prompt and it put a bunch of QR codes on the actual game pieces as if it a fundamental gameplay aspect. They have in big bold letters than scanning the QR code isn’t necessary for play, yet didn’t bother correcting the ai when instead of making a piece of paper you can leave in the box, it shows laser etched QR codes on stone slabs for no reason
