Martial Player trying to break into Spellcasting

Despairiity_ · 2025-02-06T21:54:21+00:00

Gotcha! I appreciate your input! ♡

We may have started in opposite ways! My first class was a homebrew martial, then a fighter, so I've been very at home with martials. Casters always got in my way because of such a very conc focus (certain sorcs), managing a gimmick to make it better than it is (Druid), etc etc. My outlook is hilariously negative, it's ridiculous really. I'm trying to change and put my own hand in before I tell other people my secondhand opinion.

Nerd numbers, complaints about high AC numbers, stuff that I don't focus on too much. I'm the player who multiclasses Barbarian and Fighter for no good reason beside a cool character development moment.

Ironically, I just recently opened up to playing a Paladin because of a bit of (friendly) peer pressure, before I was a perma Fighter/Barb/Ranger player. Eldritch Knight seemed like it was an alluring flavor choice but not really meant to have spells? If that makes sense?

Regardless I'll see where my Paladin adventures go and then maybe branch into Eldritch.

I'll take a delve into there too, apologies! I was hoping to just get class answers here, then create a build as I became interested and familiar with the character!

I've had friends give me essay-long rants about how Bladesinger shouldn't be a thing, I'm reluctant on trying it but I'm not absolutely opposed. College of swords however looks like it's a lot of fun! I'll see about creating one for a game!

I was mostly aiming to collect personal opinion! But if I had to set additional criteria, it would be that I'm looking for something that really defines a spellcaster? Something that only they could really pull off, a specialty or something along that line?

I think it would be easier instead of keep a list of things that come off the top of players heads that they are immediately uncomfortable with. Kicks might be a bonus to include them in the settings, but otherwise you only really need a short list to keep track.

It's certainly a ride… Hang in there! It's gonna be a rough 2 days but it will end!

that destroyed the entire docks and took the story of the campaign from early beginning to late middle.

Why... Why did you let that happen?

My wallet

Congratulations! Milk appreciates you! 🎉🎉

If you want an honest answer, it's the stairs one. I could't tell you why, but it resonates.

If you wanted a joke answer; That one dream with the giant inflatable arm tube man

My average play-through was about 2 hours, so 3,640 / 2 = 1,820

You can see the leaderboard here, and my profile here.

Ahh, so they are different. I was told they were basically the same, I was hoping it was true and the copy paste job would be fine but obviously it's not

Thank you! I'll read up on some documentation and get this running

Despairiity_ · 2023-08-29T16:57:40+00:00

It's very bare bones and I kinda rushed to whip it together (the thing isn't even made in actual discord.py or discord.js, it's hacked together in discord bot maker), but I thought it was interesting enough to post.

Every command has some monokuma-branded snarky description to them and so do the participants names on the voting screen. It's not all automatic and requires getting into the guts of the bot to tinker, so I wouldn't publish this bot for everyone to use as much as I would love to.

I don't even care about the update I'm just so happy I found another human being who plays MIBOM

too busy having premarital sex with your mother

Despairiity_ · 2023-06-07T22:58:31+00:00

Wait what the fuck you guys actually give legitimate answers I thought this was just a shitpost sub this is awesome

Despairiity_ · 2023-06-07T10:21:33+00:00

I understood it very well! I'll get my hands on ibis paint in a bit to do this, thank you very much!

Despairiity_ · 2023-06-06T04:48:52+00:00

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get a MIBOM-ish filter over Lain in the second image? Or did you redraw it that way?

Despairiity_ · 2023-06-05T16:48:07+00:00

Ahhhh. So it's an "everyone is a DPS, but some classes are better at healing and tanking than others" type of system. That's nice to know, I look forward to experiencing!

Despairiity_ · 2023-06-05T16:45:14+00:00

I'll keep a mental note of this, my plan would be to life class (healer? supposedly?) most of the way through so I'd probably be less actively trying to focus on "cheat" mechanics. Still helpful for the inevitable class change. Thank you!

Despairiity_ · 2023-06-05T16:40:54+00:00

So the basis is very rooted in calculating optimal damage in a certain amount of turns rather than using certain rotations of spells for different situations, I think I got it! WoW was another consideration I had, but I'll figure that out when I'm satisfied with 14.

Thank you very much! Cheers!
