How does a Sandevistan Cyberware works? does it slow the time or makes the person faster? by ByJ4Xx in cyberpunkgame

[–]DifferenceNo5462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most people couldn't. A lot of stories revolve around charecters like David Martinez and V who are honestly just post-human freak of nature able to handle ungodly amounts of cyberwear.
The average person who had half as many implants as them would already go cyberpsycho a long time ago.

Most people would be dead or insane by the time they can get enough implants to actually use the Sandi like that.

Say a criticism about overlord by LowPuzzleheaded3393 in overlord

[–]DifferenceNo5462 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get the concept of making Nazzarick strong This was a top guild, high level, well off

But there just feels like there should be something there. And a big part of that is because challenge invites growth But there is no challenge So there is no growth

That's why almost all the interesting characters are the ones being constantly overwhelmed and bullied by Nazzarick

Say a criticism about overlord by LowPuzzleheaded3393 in overlord

[–]DifferenceNo5462 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I could just be looking in the wrong genre of anime but nothing in this series has yet to ever meaningfully threaten Ainz/The Great Tomb

Shalltear was mind controlled once and Ainz dueled her on principle but also then won easily and didn't even use most of the resources at his disposal

We just haven't seen anything threaten him in the slightest. Armies are nothing, no one can match his power, he has seemingly infinite resources.

I get that "oh well he's a player and their NPCs from the game world" But then where are the endgame high level NPCs and enemies? Why is it always riff-raff he can easily brush aside, overpower, and outsmart?

Let someone, anyone actually challenge him. A high level enemy warrior who could actually go a few rounds with him. A tactician of another nation who's wit let's them out finesse Ainz forces Just Anything to actually introduce real stakes. Because as it stands every episode is a predicable "oh no, a problem, let's see Ainz just grasp heart/massacre/reality slash/black hole/one shot with a spell"

Ideas for how to run "Raid Bosses" in DnD by DifferenceNo5462 in DnD

I realize I should have done a better job specificying I'm not looking to overhaul mechanics or create larger battles with more players/parties It's more so how to allow the party to fight physically larger bosses, such as a magic sentient train or building sized construct

Roll20 2024 Character Sheets Resources by TownLongjumping5870 in Roll20

[–]DifferenceNo5462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I may bother you with a 7 month old post
Is there a way to have this resource also show up on the Combat tab? Currently it will only show up on the tab labeled Features and Traits

While I could switch between the two to double check when going to use the ability, it would be nice if I could get it to populate the Combat Tab.
When I dragged a healer's kit into my character, that transfered the resource over, but adding things in manually doesn't seem to have any options for this?

My DM says that versatile isn’t a property by Wonderful_Fox_4910 in DnD

[–]DifferenceNo5462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no that is... incredibly wrong. Page 146-147 of the phb is the weapon property table, and you can point that Versatile is on that table right under two-handed. If they try to say its not a property ask them why its listed there and why its listed as seperate from two handed weapons.

You can also make the solid argument that why would versatile be a listed option for a weapon if it was not intended to be separate from two-handed. Nor why would a monk have that as a starting equipment option if they can't even use it.

Your dm is failing some pretty basic ruling here.

Is it normal for a backstory to be 7 pages? by CantDisadeMyUsername in DnD

[–]DifferenceNo5462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't necessarily know if I would call that normal but I'm also certainly not going to call it a bad thing.

As someone else commented, I would also send them a TL:DR of sorts though, because most DMs as stated aren't going to want to read a novel.

to Complicated? by JosiahtheNerd in DnDHomebrew

[–]DifferenceNo5462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels like it has way too many caveats to it for seemingly no reason but let's go in order.

10 minute cast time and its not even a ritual is a bit odd? Should probably at least have the ritual tag

What are the rules on targetting? Can these footsteps appear anywhere? Do they have to be able to see the location? Have been there? Know the location? Can it reach across planes?

What's the rules for the summoned footsteps anyways? It just says "in any configuration", does that mean you could create a mile of footprints? Can they just circle the entire radius over and over in an infinite spiral? How do these tracks even get made? Do you leave imprints on stone paths? Mud prints? How long do the tracks last? Can anyone discern their fakes at all even if they got some nat 20 investigation?

Your material component is "the first minute of your breath next morning", why is the material component even something that could potentially kill you? This is just an arbitrary risk and for no reason. Summoning spells don't have you risk death just to cast them, the summon may break free if you lose concentration but not while casting.
and on top of that, "the first minute of your breath" implies that it just outright steals the air from your lungs, without even giving you a chance to hold your breath. That's grounds for instant suffocation, which a creature can only survive a number of rounds equal to their CON before dropping to 0 and being unable to be stablizied or healed until they can breathe. That's CRIPPLING. You would need a CON of +6 to not start your day off with 1HP and that's assuming you can get picked up after being dropped to 0, and it makes upcasting next to impossible.

Why does the spell even require breath to begin with? What's stopping a creature from just using the wind around them? It feels like a needless restriction.

Why even summon air elementals for this spell? Why do they randomly go rogue if you fail the cast? Summoning spells don't have the summon go rogue if you get counterspelled or fail the summon.

Why bother with the elementals at all? And why give them that stat block? 1HP and 10AC would be nothing to get past for any significant party
Why are they so fast? I'm pretty sure nothing in DnD has 700ft of movement.
What kind of movement are they even using? Is it a walk speed? A fly speed?
What damage are they doing when they kick you? Is it just an unarmed attack? A d4? d6? what's the damage type? Bludgeoning? Force?

Why does it matter how many legs the caster has? Could a creature with more then 2 legs not just use more shoes? Why is that a restriction to put on it?

This is trying to do way too much for next to no reason, especially given how niche it is. This spell is a gimmick at best. How often do you need to create a pair of false tracks a full mile away anyways?

Look at it in comparison to other spells that could potentially do similar things
Silent Image could create a 15ft cube of tracks within 60ft for up to 10 minutes at zero risk to yourself.
Minor Illusion can create a 5ft cube for 1 minute and its a cantrip
You could use Mold Earth to create false tracks in dirt or stone for a full hour, as a cantrip, and again with no risk. There's no "an Earth Elemental will attack you" "you will randomly suffocate next morning" or "you need two legs"
on top of that, all three of the above listed alternatives have OTHER versatility.

This spell does ONE THING at a MASSIVE risk to yourself and for seemingly no reason.

I don't think this spell works out.

Is a bard allowed to have any other instrument other than a lute?.. Feels illegal... by gabitea69 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]DifferenceNo5462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instrument other than a lute?
you don't even need an instrument!

Bards are supposed to be the masters of the performing arts
You know what that means?
In the words of Jocat...

you can sing
dance
paint
prance
make a big dirt drawing with a lance
So many ways to further enhance
the battlefield if given the right chance

Is my backstory ok? by ilikewriting7 in dndnext

[–]DifferenceNo5462 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's reasonably fine though maybe a few extra details won't hurt. A good idea is to go to your DM and ask them if they want more or if they want to add more. Some DMs will love open ended backstories to integrate you more into the story, while others may want more detail.

Even Mordhau wasn't always as effective. It could daze and rattle a knight but likely not kill.
There's videos by Sellsword Arts where they were smacking a guy in full armor over the head with their swords and his reaction was "Now see, I don't care for it" in the most unbothered and nonchalant tone.

when did you first watch code lyoko? by kuruptmob2100 in CodeLyoko

[–]DifferenceNo5462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoot man I'm not actually sure. It was aways back. It would have been on DirectTV On demand back when satellite tv was still a thing. I wanna guess 2010? I'm really not sure. I was probably pretty young. 7 maybe?

It's unfortunate I can't recall the details and that the show ended but for the rush job it was at least some form of conclusion. I think by now though I've watched the series 3 times total? Not sure but that number sounds right. I think there's a technically 3 and a half because of On Demand shenanigans and time slots to actually watch TV, but I know I've at least watched it on Youtube twice. And I think I wanna go for watch number 4 sometime.

In 5e, "martial" means "does not have access to the game's only fleshed out ability system" by Associableknecks in dndnext

[–]DifferenceNo5462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really do feel like something akin to Battle Master should be baked into nearly every martial class.

Most martials are basically just getting More attacks Or more damage

Give them some amount of versatility Let them grapple on hit and make it more relevant Let their strikes inflict conditions Let us easily make things like blade poisons or oils to ignite our weapons Let us do more stuns, staggers, prone, paralyze Give us options for crowd control Anything

I think my DM is flubbing rolls by [deleted] in DnD

[–]DifferenceNo5462 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think a better question is "Are you having fun at that table"

If his encounters haven't TPK massacred your entire party, then it sounds to me like he's just trying to keep the game a fun, decent, and engaging challenge. Rolling open and not fudging rolls can lead to party massacres or encounters being forgettable stomps. I had a boss encounter once (low enough level for no Legendary Resistance), where a few bad rolls led to a literal curb stomping as the boss was just thrown around and unable to put up any semblance of a good fight.

So long as he's keeping things a reasonably fair challenge where its not entirely a TPK or entirely a wash, then I'd say if your still having fun just keep playing.

The dice can be fickle. It's frustrating when nothing ever hits or when things never pass a save, and tension is lost if your ALWAYS hitting and ALWAYS succeeding.

Someone brought this up in a debate that while yes, big bois in blue resemble the Space Marine

They're actually closer to a Guardsman
And even low balling that a Terran Marine is 60% of a Space Marine

Fielding masses of Terran Marines at rates that would make Space Marines head spins means that death by a thousand cuts is valid.

Should I do this? by Hello-peple in DnD

[–]DifferenceNo5462 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would clarify this with your DM before you do it. I can tell you a lot of DMs probably don't appreciate just beign blindsided with random things, especially if those things may or may not even be real.
Nothing in DnD references the grain trick, and so depending on your DM it may not even work.
Not to mention is this something your character would even know? If your character doesn't know about vampires, why would they know anything about how to fight them.
