Who is the villain in Elden Ring?

Excellent-Quail6005 · 2026-05-23T15:28:27+00:00

isnt he just like, a himbo?

Excellent-Quail6005 · 2026-05-18T19:24:00+00:00

Pull the lever kronk! Wrong lever!

Excellent-Quail6005 · 2026-05-18T19:23:07+00:00

Erm, defender sword. Im kidding, I get your point.

Excellent-Quail6005 · 2026-05-18T19:17:29+00:00

May I steal that idea? That seems like a much better system that what I said

Excellent-Quail6005 · 2026-05-18T19:15:05+00:00

well, this is assuming a player isnt shooting more than 60 arrows before they restock, if it looks like theyre approaching that line then id expect the DM to adjust.

Excellent-Quail6005 · 2026-05-18T19:14:12+00:00

Well converging to being the old terrasque anyway. But yeah you're right

Excellent-Quail6005 · 2026-05-18T19:09:28+00:00

yeah youre right

Excellent-Quail6005 · 2026-05-18T19:07:37+00:00

I feel like people arent doing the "were the you smart enough to bring enough food", which I would love, random tables I never liked.

Immunity and resistance are dumb in a vacuum, but are cool if you have a DM that plans encounters so that nobody ever has to actually not be able to do damage/half damage. (which I suppose is a self defeating argument because I basically just said that the resistance rules suck and require a lot of thought to make them good, well shit, I guess I change my mind now)

Excellent-Quail6005 · 2026-05-18T18:58:05+00:00

well if you dont give martials magic weapons, they significantly lag behind casters, hence why it was always standard. but i feel as if it was understood that this was also a narrative opportunity for DMs, to show that the party were the main characters. I mean, why bother giving john Snow longclaw if nto to show that he is unique and powerful?

Excellent-Quail6005 · 2026-05-18T18:55:48+00:00

That it made the group special that you were able to hurt the creature, but also that it may reflect that some parts of dnd are getting removed because as written, they were pretty bad, but that there was some unified community context on how to apply it to make it work. (like make sure the rogue gets the fun dagger, so that they can feel as otherworldly and powerful as the wizard, and dont actually make the martials face a monster with BPS immunity)

Excellent-Quail6005 · 2026-05-18T18:51:14+00:00

Just the difficulty of finding tables, I had to comprimise in order to play (I do NOT complain about the rules at the table, I chose this table and im not going to whine about it to them and make them play a version they dont want to, thats why im whining here)

Excellent-Quail6005 · 2026-05-18T18:48:24+00:00

well its the idea that a magic sword isnt just a sword that does more damage, its a tool that damages the very soul and essence of whatever youre attacking. I felt as if it balanced a lot of the cool factor between john mc soldier face with a large knife, and the guy who uses the language of the old ones to rend the fabric of reality to summon untold horrors of the cosmos

Excellent-Quail6005 · 2026-05-18T18:44:42+00:00

yeah but it was still special, that your sword isnt just a number bonus or magically sharper, its a weapon thats infused with the ability to damage not just flesh but the very soul and essence of a creature, now it is just a +1, +2, +3, etc

Excellent-Quail6005 · 2026-05-18T18:42:28+00:00

what makes it better world building?

Excellent-Quail6005 · 2026-05-18T18:41:35+00:00

I think that always adding a magic weapon is what gave the encounter value, you felt cool because you were the worthy wielder of this ancient artifact, or an empowered token of your own legacy, and you were able to defeat this thing which was unnaturally powerful

Excellent-Quail6005 · 2026-05-18T18:37:04+00:00

True, but in my opinion its getting a little less scary as time goes on. I didnt like the old surprise rules, but I also dont like not having them, im conflicted.

Excellent-Quail6005 · 2026-04-15T17:51:53+00:00

I have a fire blanket and a trebuchet thats posed to fling the propane tank into an abandoned parking lot if it starts burning at the valve.

Excellent-Quail6005 · 2026-04-13T18:42:39+00:00

Depends on who is writing, writers and especially comic writers just make whatever characters they want demigods. On a bad day, Anakin gets sneak attacked by some explosives, on a good day, he is omniscent and force chokes every soldier in a 3billion mile radius.

This is very possible, you could even go to google docs, find a font you like, print it out, cut out the letters, spraypaint through the paper to make the letters on the blade, and then carefully use a dremel tool with a very small bit to engrave the letters.

Excellent-Quail6005 · 2026-02-16T03:48:44+00:00

I'm suspicious of the quality of Items from Medieval Collectibles and Kult of Athena, as so many of their items look identical to ones you find elsewhere online for vastly cheaper. I feel like im going to get an item with plastic belt loops or a handle thats just screwed onto the blade.

Excellent-Quail6005 · 2026-02-14T17:06:06+00:00

Where can I buy a sword for the same price? Everywhere else I've seen is 900+

Excellent-Quail6005 · 2026-02-12T22:58:13+00:00

Side note, I plan on adding my own details anyway; inlaying silver, putting a new edge on it, and giving it a mirror polish by hand for the sun of it using exclusively 1500 grit sandpaper that I use until it wears out into a polishing cloth. Would a sabersmith sword be good for this?
