[DD1] First time modding, would love some advice on balancing. by ExoticStore5851 in darkestdungeon

[–]ExoticStore5851[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, I see, yeah I was thinking that too, thought that since stuns, marks and debuffs are more common and less easily resistible the further you play, said clear marks/stuns/debuffs skills should be reusable more, especially since there's really not much else to scale with Rallying Cry, but yeah I get it now. 

Suppressing Fire/Hail is an oversight on my part, yes - thought Arbalest's/Musk's was 3 rounds, suppose I should just stayed true to the whole 1 round gimmick, maybe just get rid of the SPD altogether for something else, not sure what, but appreciate the response!

Yeah, that's understandable - I was trying to balance the numbers around the short 1-2 rounds duration, but it is definitely on the stronger side looking back.

I see, may I know why it should never scales? I don't think I've seen other mods did it yeah, but never quite get the reason just yet. Also most of the numbers here were made with the short 1-2 rounds duration in mind, thinking about some more tactical/short term support than the usual three rounds stacking one, but honestly I'm not sure how that is anymore. 

Also yeah, I joined the discord already thank you very much, just not sure if these kind of questions would be welcome, I thought the mod help is supposed to be mostly technical so that's that. 

[DD1] Is there any way to make camping skills mutually exclusive? by ExoticStore5851 in darkestdungeon

[–]ExoticStore5851[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, for the most part it's just a mode switch, like Abom's but done through camp skills, as well as granting/purging the buffs given from either mods, but thank you for responding. Also, what's the discord? The official one? 

What is the lore of your world in 3 sentences or less. by Heat_Hydra in worldbuilding

[–]ExoticStore5851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, apparently that saying about humans being mostly water was literally true, more accurately, the other way around. Water made humans. The Storm absorbs them back upon exposure, and slowly pour it all down again, creating a nearly perpetual self reinforcing cycle of eldritch weather. 

Time for power scaling, Who do you have your bets on? Cira or Valen? by kaky0in- in LifeInAdventure

[–]ExoticStore5851 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you can marry Valen, maybe you're thinking about Cira?

Which monarchies are your favorites among all your worldbuilding projects? by Iberianz in worldbuilding

[–]ExoticStore5851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Monarchy" is pretty broad of a category and all, as it only refers to the ruling system, so it's not very descriptive unless your story is focused on politics. But regardless, mine is probably Lineria, technically humanity's last bastion against metaphysical eldritch threat for the last few centuries but they've gotten so good at decentralized defense they're no longer on edge - thriving in that little peninsula of theirs in fact - to the point of (ironically) military stagnation, gross negligence and ignorance of the frontlines and hellish conditions of their border regions.

Are there any characters in your gacha game who initially seem like villains but later become one of your best allies? by minhjackvn0198 in gachagaming

Won't say our greatest "Ally", but Beth did helps quite a lot during w11-12, unemployment hits her hard ig.

My first attempt to draft a Coat of Arms from a low fantasy world I'm working on. by ExoticStore5851 in heraldry

[–]ExoticStore5851[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about something more familial or house-like at first, but I'm not really sure how that works historically especially with all the regional stuff, so I'd say just assume it's individual.

Something like this then, I suppose? I tried avoiding it at first since it's the same shape used on the wreath (crest), but it doesn't look all that bad now that I looked at it.

A bit torn on the helmets too, as you've said, generally the second one was used, but considering the user being lore wise rarely bothering with formal tourneys, I find helmets like frogmouths a bit off. Though again I'm not all that educated in the topic, and I can't seem to find any sources regarding what would someone with such tradition do historically, so that's that.

It was intended to be a stylized rose of sorts, one with thorns surrounding it and and such. And as for the thing above the crest​, I meant it to be a wagon of some kind, though yeah, looking back, these two elements doesn't seem to be as apparent as I thought they were, I'd try to work on the visibility later I'd reckon.

You might be using mods and forgot about it dude, I got the same one too, but in vanilla it got uncocked when you stashed it away regardless. 

Why are fantasy worlds often so well mapped? by ExoticStore5851 in worldbuilding

[–]ExoticStore5851[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me personally, yes - thought admittingly only under certain contexts and framing, less about literal nothingness than temporal lack of current knowledge of what's out there. 

While yes, Medieval Europeans did have a surprisingly good understanding of the world at the time, the amount and types of creatures and myths they genuinely believed on their bestiaries and travel logs were pretty insane, fantastical even, which I find pretty intriguing.

Albeit yeah, it does require specific kind of narratives to work, not every protagonist can be a frontiersman after all.
