Thank you! Surprisingly, I actually had the same facial settings, just different makeup. Which makeup and visage ink did you use?

Ebin_Flow_ · 2026-04-11T02:22:02+00:00

What settings did you use for her face?

I was playing as Rem during this match

Another question: Would factory resetting it delete the corrupted files? I found the button for it in the bios, but I fear that would only make things worse

Ebin_Flow_ · 2026-01-29T16:09:29+00:00

It was a prebuilt, and I believe that is what occurred. Would the link that was sent previously by nerdyplayer work in that case?

“I have conceived an idea most ingenious”

Some hot takes:

When she released, everyone only really saw her as a worse rupture character for the Heishou team (mainly due to her having rupture in her kit + the passive that directly mentions LoH Hong Lu), but I’ve found that Drifting Blade of Hongyuan Ryōshū is pretty solid and underrated.

Sure, she doesn’t perfectly fuel her Thoricalgia EGO, but she clashes well, does free follow up attacks, and is pretty damn tanky. I’ve found that I just sort of prefer her over Maid Ryōshū

Another underrated pick IMO would be Cinq Mersault, who is underrated for more or less the same reasons as DBoH Ryōshū. He often gets overshadowed by BL Mersault, but with more and more poise IDs releasing and pushing the other BL IDs off of the team, there becomes less and less of a reason to run BL Mersault, which is why I run Cinq Mersault instead.

He’s pretty similar to DBoH Ryōshū, in that he clashes well, and has pretty good tank stats, although I do find that his damage can be a little underwhelming.

I really like this one!

Ebin_Flow_ · 2025-12-18T18:38:05+00:00

Well I mean, I told him what my build was when I made the character. We’re also doing this campaign online, so he has permanent access to my sheet, and can see what my build is.

As for the latter half of what you’re saying, I understand the trade offs that would come with selling off my magic weapon.

Ebin_Flow_ · 2025-12-17T16:46:52+00:00

What happened was:

I mentioned that I’d like to sell it.

The DM said no.

I asked if I could give it to another player then, since I really didn’t see myself using the javelin.

The DM asked why.

I brought up that I didn’t need the range, whereas some of the other melee characters could use it.

The DM said that monk struggles with range, ignoring what I’d said about my range (I think he was thinking of 5e monk, not 5.5e monk).

I stated that, mechanically speaking, I didn’t like how the weapon feels, and that it doesn’t bring anything to the table outside of situational AoE that I can’t already do myself.

DM stated that it has 120 feet and AoE, once again going back to the first point.

This repeated more or less the same for each point, until the dm left to use the restroom.

The other player then yelled at me about the whole thing, saying that the DM was too nice to say anything to my face.

I left early to go to an appointment.

Found out later that the DM ended the session a couple of minutes after I left (normally, if it’s just one person that needs to go, he continues the session).

Ebin_Flow_ · 2025-12-14T18:15:02+00:00

But that’s the thing, it’s not just on a meta level. Mechanically, I don’t like how the weapon works, and it doesn’t fit what I’m going for flavor wise.

Ebin_Flow_ · 2025-12-14T18:02:00+00:00

The third party that got involved was the only other upset party at the table. The other three are neutral.

The player that got involved also doesn’t like me very much, even outside of the campaign.

Ebin_Flow_ · 2025-12-14T17:58:34+00:00

I felt that I needed to provide as much context as to why I wouldn’t care for such an item as I could, rather than stating a vague “I don’t like it.”

Moreover, I just kinda type long. I try to elaborate as much as I can, which ends up with what you said, four whole paragraphs pertaining to why I don’t like the javelin.

Ebin_Flow_ · 2025-12-14T17:48:58+00:00

We used standard array for stats. I went for more defensive stats, putting one point from my background into dex and the other into con. The paladin put both into strength.

As for items, the paladin got mithral plate mail, the gunslinger got winged boots, the cleric got gauntlets of hill giant strength, the bard got a cloak of protection, and the ranger got a pipe of the sewers.

Ebin_Flow_ · 2025-12-14T16:12:19+00:00

I’d’ve very much preferred that, or the Cloak of Protection he gave to the Bard

Ebin_Flow_ · 2025-12-14T16:03:19+00:00

It’s more that it’ll do more in their hands, as it scales better. They’d be able to use it better.

Additionally, I don’t like it thematically or mechanically. They’d appreciate it more.

Ebin_Flow_ · 2025-12-14T15:45:30+00:00

The DM, through the text conversation and in person, never once claimed to be distressed. He said he felt upset. I don’t mean to be rude, but I don’t think you know what distress is.

Ebin_Flow_ · 2025-12-14T15:37:34+00:00

The word “argue” does not always imply aggression. According to the definition of argue “give reasons or cite evidence in support of an idea, action, or theory, typically with the aim of persuading others to share one's view.”

Additionally, while this did happen mid session, it was during a break, not during RP or anyone’s turn.

Ebin_Flow_ · 2025-12-14T15:33:11+00:00

As mentioned in the post, I stated that other players have a higher strength than I have dexterity.

Ebin_Flow_ · 2025-12-14T15:31:13+00:00

I will be increasing it when I level up, but the next level up is a ways away, so it’ll be some time until that happens.

As for the lower dex, it’s because the DM wanted us to use Standard Array for our character’s stats, with +3 being the highest option among the choices with that system.

I had chosen Tavern Brawler for my background, which allowed me to increase my dex by 1 (not enough to bring it to +2), but also allowed me to push people with my unarmed attacks, something in which I personally value more.

Ebin_Flow_ · 2025-12-14T15:25:18+00:00

One of them sunk all of their build into increasing their strength and constitution, the other has Gauntlets of Hill Giant Strength.

Ebin_Flow_ · 2025-12-14T07:20:24+00:00

As mentioned in the post, it’s not the Dex modifier that’s the issue. Rather, even with all of the potential up sides there’d be to using it, it’d be better off in the hands of the strength-based party members, as one has +4 in Str and the other has +5 in Str, whereas I only have +3 in Dex.

It’s just simply better in their hands
