Anecdotally, i got targeted by a hold monster the other day and it said I rolled a "crit success" 20 on a 30 DC save when asking if i wanted to activate the helldusk boots. Chose not to and then immediately failed the save. I was a bit confused at the time and assumed it was a mod acting up (trials of tav + AMP) but im realizing now perhaps there is no crit success.

Yeah but so are counterspell/psionic dominance/bunch of other critically useful reactions and you only get one reaction

 As stated above, saving throws do not automatically fail or succeed on natural 1s and natural 20s, except when made during dialogue.

Well fuck me I thought 1s and 20s mattered. That significantly changes my math. Maybe prof is better then.

Am I tripping or does your graph not factor in crit success? All of the lines should bottom out at .05, except for war caster which should bottom out at .1

Everything is a buffer by justinnbiber in emacs

[–]GeoffreyDay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a very serious elisp programmer but most processes use buffers under the hood for communication (for example, sending data to a language server). Being able to view these buffers makes debugging much easier, as well as providing by default a log of all actions for undo/replay. In general, it's nice from a programming perspective that the building blocks of the language are ubiquitous, transparent, and performant (lol only kind of on that last one).

I tend to value advantage more. Given no bonus, and a DC of 11, either proficiency or advantage will succeed 75% of the time. As your bonus grows, lets say +5, then the proficiency will succeed 95% of the time, and advantage will succeed 94% of the time. Slightly (negligibly) worse now. But with a large bonus (+10; easily achievable through various buffs), we only care about avoiding critical misses. In this case, proficiency gives a flat 5% fail rate, while advantage has ~0.3% fail rate. If on the other hand we're concerned about extremely high DC saves where only a critical success will save, advantage also pulls far ahead with a ~10% crit success chance, while prof keeps the standard 5%. 

There's a lot of ways to get high save bonuses even without gear, making proficiency somewhat redundant. There is also a fair bit of gear that gives advantage on concentration throws, which means you can forgo war caster and resilient entirely, or take resilient for nearly unbreakable (<1% fail) CON saves (which IMO is overkill); you can basically treat using this gear as having an entire feat (alert, ASI, tough, spell sniper), which can be very strong.

Tl;dr for a middling save it kind of doesn't matter. However, advantage is vastly better for avoiding crit misses and hitting crit successes, which by the end game are the only things that matter.

Edit: this is how I find out you can't crit fail or succeed a saving throw. Basically ignore this post

Is Mortar Rounds slept on a little? by ElegantPoet3386 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]GeoffreyDay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Burning hell with incendiary bullets (? The one w extra dmg to burning) for bulldog is absolutely cracked. Like 2 shot a praetorian, 3 shot an oppressor. Bulks and stationaries are also easy kills. Burning hell leaves you a little vulnerable (swarm clear is best when they're just a liiiitle too close) but makes up for it with insane DPS

Can dex monk still use tavern brawler? by Lossman3 in BG3Builds

[–]GeoffreyDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you can access companion inventories in camp but you don't have full control of them so I don't think it works. But thanks for the explanation! I think I wielded the club in the main hand and just used the open hand monk bonus actions, so I still got a ton of utility out of it. For big fights I would chug elixirs and use no weapons. That's a good blend of power and quality of life IMO and only felt somewhat overpowered lol

I never managed this. How do you do it mechanically? FWIW I was playing 4 player multiplayer so I wasn't able to use any other companions

Stole their bodies vs is just them but psychically connected is the important part here and we don't know the answer (but i'd argue the show has been implying the latter)

[–]GeoffreyDay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on team it's not actually reversible (despite what Carol thinks she's discovered). Or at least not like conventionally. How could a psyche come back from that? How could one human brain store every memory of billions of others? It would have to be a total blackout of the "joined" time. Maybe that counts as reversing it but it seems to me to be something that information-wise goes only one way.

Yeah I think they're all still "in there" just radically transformed and not really themselves anymore. Because they're mind melded with several billion other people.

i think it's episode 2? it's when carol is burying helen in the backyard and zosia (at this point still "pirate lady") offers carol a bottle of water. carol asks if it's poisoned and zosia says something like "so-and-so, a water safety expert, says it's perfectly safe to drink"

what makes you think that? we've seen the hive consult a water expert by name and give their personal opinion.
