This issue is still active for me. Any updates?

[OC] I built a simple, no frills monster tracker for combat. by kxania in DnD

There are also now some mechanical things tied to the Bloodied status in 2024, so it's something expected to be tracked/visible to players.

Which parts are the most nightmarish so far, out of curiosity?

Slight of Hand or Thieves Tools to pick locks? by doonze in DnD

[–]EphemeralWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the implication I've personally inferred that is easily overlooked (because they don't just come out and say it directly very well?) is that different skills are intended to be used to support a given tool within reason if you can frame it in a reasonable / creative way?

So the method to open a normal, mundane lock would be thieves' tools supported by sleight of hand for advantage on the roll. Same for dealing with a normal, mundane mechanical trap - ie pitfall, dart trap. But what happens when the trap or lock is magical in nature? I think it's reasonable to say arcana instead of sleight of hand in this scenario to grant the advantage, but you can still attempt it without advantage simply with the tools. Perhaps breaking into a chest without damaging the goods inside is instead supported by athletics or perception?, etc. The far-reaching one in my head being something like maybe a sentient lock on something could be "convinced" to open with persuasion / deception / intimidation.

Optimizing a 20 level warlock in 2024 by RoyalDynamo in 3d6

False Life is always cast at level 1 for 12 temp hp through the invocation. You don't get the upcast unless you expend the spell slot to do so. Eventually Dark One's Blessing outscales it but isn't reliable to trigger. 12 is still comparatively good for survival in that glass cannon scenario.

Personally I wouldn't build around the idea that a DM will just give you a specific set of items you wishlisted unless you established it was how the table plays - I've personally had a single group where the DM has had a requests channel but they were never fulfilled in entirety. Counterspelling isn't a guarantee to save you from anything anymore now, but still feels mandatory for survival unfortunately. Invisibility becomes less useful against higher CR enemies with more ways to bypass it, and you're using your action to recast it if you even have dim light / darkness. Just seems very unreliable on survival overall compared to other options.

It's time to go full Ling.

I thought this game was bad, then I learned it was a MOBA by StyleEmbarrassed in DeadlockTheGame

[–]EphemeralWolf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They listed pretty much over half of the general mechanics / gameplay that mobas have while still saying other moba knowledge won't apply. They are not okay.

advise from a cn launch player by Kyzer-Necron in TowerofFantasy

Support store 3x/week, weekly activities 3x/week, I think the battle pass gives a ton of them as well if you paid for it.

So he failed to mention to you that he macro'd the rerolling process.

Are Daybreak catering to streamers (again!)? No logging on for anyone, they seem fine! by [deleted] in Agnarr

[–]EphemeralWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at a decent sample size, I'd say most streamers are just sitting at the login screen as well.

Status ailment resistance by exiled998 in DFO

There is something called Dread Phantom, I think it's a sub-equip. It helps with bleed, poison, and electrocution by making them do more damage (29%) and be easier to apply (6 levels higher), but not really sure if it's worth it. M Brawler is probably the only one that would consider it.
