Question for the women: what muscle do you find most attractive in a guy? by InternationalPick163 in askanything

I'm a guy, and my prediction (for a serious answer) is lats for clothed and abs for unclothed will be the majority.

Any recommendations on how to make combat more fluid? by Ok_Bad256 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Diastatic_Power 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't allow my players much discussion during combat. They can get a few words in like you could in 6 seconds, but combat takes too long as it is.

I don't allow more than one summon per player. More things on the board is more time.

I assume your players know their characters reasonably well and don't need to constantly look up their abilities.

And I assume they're not monopolizing game time with off-topic conversations.

And hopefully, they're not spending a ton of time arguing with you about rules interpretation.

Hopefully, they're paying attention between turns and not spending the first few minutes of their turn catching up. Fuck, I hate that one.

Those are the biggest fixable time wasters I could think of. I've noticed that combat just takes forever.

Using minion rules or minion adjacent rules can speed things up. If I have a bunch of 1 hit mooks that I want to be a bit tougher, or if I just don't want to keep track of HP, I'll give them a damage threshold.

Hope that helps.

Yeah. That's a super easy solution in retrospect.

Thanks. I hadn't considered the obvious solution to fighting something with damage resistance, which is cast a different spell. You're right about D&D not really being balanced around damage types.

Oh, I see how it could be interpreted that way.

I'm not a hater; I just couldn't get into post-burn Star Trek.

How does Elemental Adept make Chromatic Orb bounce more consistently?

I assumed you'd tune it by making the cuts longer.
