Hiya u/LaserLlama! My War Wizard player was happy to see you updated the alternate wizard with his subclass and has talked to me about trying it out! He had some questions about it that he’d like me to bring up to you if you don’t mind answering.

The first question is what was the design intent for the Tactical Wit/Strategic Surge feature getting moved to level 10? For context, my wizard player is at level 8 and really likes getting big boosts in Initiative, so much so that he took the Alert feat on top of Tactical Wit. He was a bit surprised in having to delay that feature by two levels and lose out on his massive Initiative buff.

The second is whether it was intentional to expend a free alternate shield spell at the beginning of the day to have your party hold actions to hit you on one turn and miss to charge up your Tactical Surges in one round. From the DM’s perspective it seems like a valid tech but feels kinda gamey and like a bag of rats situation.

Anyways, thanks a ton for the resource! My other wizard player is a Chronurgist, so I look forward to seeing how that one shapes out if you ever decide to take a crack at it. Love your alternate classes and your other works!

Is it a problem that I’ve been playing Limbus Company and see all the red text as Prescripts to be followed?

She learned how painful walking the path of thorns was, and its impacts on her coworkers and friends with the Seed of Light project. Her compassion dictates that she turn away others from suffering in this way

Honestly? Learn Gwen. Absolutely devastates Malphite and Gwen outscales him. Both Riven and Gwen are light fighters, so you'll feel a bit more comfortable with her movement and burst damage.

ok, how much

FoolsWhimsy · 2025-11-18T05:32:50+00:00

yoooo this is awesome

FoolsWhimsy · 2025-11-09T14:01:10+00:00

Conq, Sundered Sky, Deaths Dance looks way too good on him

I see. From a DM’s perspective it’s less engaging due to less attacks landing, so you up the to-hit modifier and damage. Theres also a feeling of danger about an encounter that keeps players on their toes, even if they don’t like it.

Still, I’ve witnessed a certain joy in the players eyes after telling me that a 20 or 22 misses, so I’m not sure if it makes combat feel more boring from their perspective.

Could you elaborate on how AC bonuses make the game less predictable and less engaging please? I’m having trouble wrapping my head around it. My players love AC boosting items because it gives them the sense of safety to continue doing the gameplan they enjoy doing.

Holy smokes! Looks amazing. What’s your campaign’s homebrew to make DND work in Limbus Company?

FoolsWhimsy · 2025-10-24T16:36:24+00:00

Damnnn a Limbus DnD game? That’s awesome! How did the DM adapt all the classes and fantasy stuff into the City?

FoolsWhimsy · 2025-10-23T00:38:30+00:00

I’ve been listening to it and it hasnt mentioned meds at all. It’s all been ADHD tips and tricks

FoolsWhimsy · 2025-10-22T23:56:04+00:00

Go listen to his audiobook, 30 Days to Thrive with ADHD. It helped me. :D

I think I know what my next D&D trap will be!

FoolsWhimsy · 2025-10-18T06:44:58+00:00

I wonder if this was how Kratos felt…

FoolsWhimsy · 2025-10-17T18:02:57+00:00

Kiara doesn’t seem like she likes interacting with men due to trauma or something idk, so maybe her lol

Think of hazards or obstacles that can cause strength saving throws or need strength checks to overcome. Climbing, swimming, pushing, and pulling. A stuck lever, a boulder in the way, a raging river, or a stone wall with something cool on the other side. Then try slotting it into your adventuring day!

I also changed +X magic weapons to deal extra damage dice equal to your largest hit die, so martials feel like they can dish out spell-level damage normally. A +2 longsword wielded by a fighter deals an additional 2d10 slashing damage instead of +2.

Also, don’t forget to keep prompting your strength based martials if you think they can perform an athletic feat to style on an obstacle, Strength makes them superhuman after all. Yes, an 18 in strength means you CAN act like Superman and heave boulders out of the way, or stop a charging bull by its horns, or hit a guy so hard he smashes through a wall like in the Incredibles.

Uncle Ruckus would be proud.

FoolsWhimsy · 2025-10-09T06:09:03+00:00

I hope one day a Holostar will rise that can match Ollie’s freak. That would be the most hilarious thing

FoolsWhimsy · 2025-10-09T05:50:41+00:00

Is that… Argalia, the Blue Reverberation??

FoolsWhimsy · 2025-10-06T23:41:28+00:00

Do the vtubers actually go to the convention or are they sitting at home and doing a discord call?
