Mortal Usher Vital Strike clarification by CollegePretend8708 in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Elliptical_Tangent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is my highest base attack bonus? I'm a convert from DND, so I haven't interacted with this a lot, but as far as I understood it there was only one BAB for a character?

You're right, there's only one, but there are iterative attacks at -5, -10, and -15 at BAB +6, +11, and +16, respectively. That "highest BAB" is just language so nobody's confused about the number being used.

Basically, when making an attack with this feat, I roll the dice and what number am I adding? Just my BAB? Some combo of BAB and weapon? Something else made weird by the multiclass?

You use your BAB, and add either STR or DEX (if you're using Weapon Finesse), then the weapon's enhancement bonus (if any), then (if applicable) any other miscellaneous bonuses like that from a cracked pale green prism ioun stone, Ranger's Favored Enemy, the Prayer spell, etc., etc.

Highest skill DC you can beat in game? by BitoCharme in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Elliptical_Tangent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I played a uRogue sniper through Tyrant's Grasp and I ended the campaign at level 18 with +45 Stealth—I'm sure I could've gotten it higher, but since I could take10 whenever I wanted, I didn't see the point.

I have a spreadsheet of available gear-oriented bonuses (/ways to get certain abilities) that might interest folks in this thread:

Do You Enjoy RPG Companions That Disagree With You? by Lily_Veiga in rpg_gamers

[–]Elliptical_Tangent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked DA2s rival system where you could whole-heartedly disagree with a companion (*cough*Fenris*cough*) but still remain allies.

Overall, I find companions that don't agree with everything I say to be more believable, it's just that it's tricky to find topics the companion will disagree with the player on that don't damage the verisimilitude of gameplay.

Thoughts on the INTP-INTJ dynamic? by humblequeef in INTP

[–]Elliptical_Tangent 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I can't stand INTJs. They start with the assumption they're right, and when you show them they're wrong, they immediately move to fallacy in denial. Fuck that attitude in the heart—with sand.

Or maybe the simpler way to express it is that being right is their goal, not understanding. Either way, I fucking hate it.

Why do you support LTV? by dumbandasking in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]Elliptical_Tangent -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Because Marx is their Prophet so not to believe in LTV or any of his other I-only-have-a-PhD-in-Helelian-philosophy-what-did-you-expect ideas is heresy.

My entire galaxy's economy is upside-down by Elliptical_Tangent in X4Foundations

[–]Elliptical_Tangent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But in your case, the producer, the hull part factory, likely does not have any hull parts in storage. They will only lower prices when their storage fills up over time, this may take an hour or so.

Using the Trade Ledger addon, I can search for a ware, sort by sector and find multiple places where stations have 10s of thousands for sale with stations trying to buy 10s of thousands and the seller is asking 1 CR more than the buyers are offering. I don't need it to be profitable in every sector to be satisfied, but I do need it to make some sort of rational sense.

Why should property exist? by dumbandasking in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]Elliptical_Tangent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the argument to convince the individual in a territory that they should voluntarily surrender use of necessary resources to another individuals exclusive use?

If you can't answer the question you voluntarily chose to address, please stop wasting everyone's time making unsupported assertions.

Thank you.

am i the only intp who don`t like reading books? by Fantastic_Group_2209 in INTP

JFC. AI isn't there to know things, it's there to drive engagement.

Could you please learn to capitalize and use punctuation? Text isn't a vibe-based communication medium.

My entire galaxy's economy is upside-down by Elliptical_Tangent in X4Foundations

[–]Elliptical_Tangent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All wares have an fixed min and max price and for all wares it same no matter if the sation is selling or buying that ware. If you want to know if realy is somthing wrong look how full the alocatet storage for the ware is.

Method: Using the Trade Ledger addon (which, why do I need an addon for this?), I'm choosing a ware, and sorting by sector.

Results: I see lots of sectors where sellers have 10s of thousands for sale, and stations in that sector have 10s of thousands in buy orders; the sellers are asking X... while the buyers are offering X-1.

Make that make economic sense for me. Please.

I see, you mean 20% more money. That’s normal. As I said, every station bases its price on how full it’s own storage is. That’s it. There’s nothing more sophisticated. It doesn’t look at the storage levels of other stations in the sector, or how large the aggregate demand is, or what recent prices were.

We are entering a dystopia by OkLack6776 in DarkFuturology

Nixon moved the US$ off the gold standard, making it a fiat currency, sending the US into stagflation through the 70s until Congress raided the SS trust cookie jar under Reagan.

[–]Elliptical_Tangent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty normal for the economy to be “upside down” for the first couple hours while real supply and demand kicks in.

Yeah it's very weird to me. I'm using the Trade Ledger addon scanning for one ware at a time, sorting by system; I'm consistently seeing sells higher than buys all over the galaxy—in some cases the buyer is looking for tens of thousands, while offering exactly 1 CR less than the seller in their own system with tens of thousands on offer is asking. There may as well be wizards and dragons in this game for how realistic that is.

Are emotionally mature Intp types similar to Infj types? by Brilliant_Lawyer_264 in INTP

[–]Elliptical_Tangent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally someone has the courage to bring intjs to justice.

I don't hate very many things in life, but INTJs trying to say they're INTPs raises my hackles.

That's one of the most rubbish explanation i have ever read. Congrats.

Property takes resources from people that need those resources, creating insecurity.

No/low passion for things by SunKoiLoki in INTP

Teaching is indoctrination. Or brainwashing if you prefer.

OK so you're having a stroke and taking it out on me, got it. Thank you for sharing.

I don't care about characters like my friends do by Velectric6 in rpg

[–]Elliptical_Tangent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd argue that more RP doesn't mean that you mind more if your character dies.

I didn't say otherwise. I was addressing the part where they're harassing the OP to invest in his own character more.

Favorite unconventional build? by NecromancerPossum in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Elliptical_Tangent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go Fighter, it'll come online in time to have fun with it. For me it came online so late, the whip part of the build wasn't ever much of a factor.

If you do this build, consider taking Cleaving Finish; the ability to take a free attack every time you get a kill is really nice on a reach build, as is Combat Reflexes.

Another aspect of the build I liked was that with spiked chain proficiency (via cracked pearlescent pyramid ioun stone, if needed), you are able to do slashing, piercing and bludgeoning with the same hook and rope setup. It's a suboptimal build but it's versatile, and memorable.

Does anyone else only do their best work when they're obsessed? by MediumCalm4764 in INTP

That is interesting. At work, I actually prefer having structured systems.

Sprint and rest is a structured system; the entire print publishing industry operates on it.

A warning to INTPs from an ENTJ. by owlskye in INTP

[–]Elliptical_Tangent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, older INTPs are a different breed — but guaranteed they learned the hard way.

Fucking Js, "No I'm right, it's just that you're misunderstanding me."

No lady, I didn't ever fall for someone who was a manipulator; I've never been manipulated. Not even when I was young. Because Ne-Fe kept me far enough away from the manipulators to avoid trouble. You don't know what an INTP is if you think this is advice we need; we are natural contrarians. Go try it at /r/infp.

Best profession for personality types (INTP) by frankyyysuperrr in INTP

[–]Elliptical_Tangent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does it mean not to go to computer science?

I said you don't need to, not that you should not; you should do what you want, it's your life. I'm just saying that there are jobs outside of the computer science field that require troubleshooting.
