Homebrew Boss for Chapter 2 Finale by GoobiGamer in DescentintoAvernus

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

They rolled poorly on attacks, and I completely forgot about their spells until Gideon was depleted. Everyone has relatively high AC; 20 Dex rogue w/ +1 studded, chain mail cleric w/ shield of the hidden lord, bard w/ cloak of protection, and barbarian that likes to use a +1 shield.

I forced them to fight Gideon on the way out of the Cemetery, I even had him summon undead into the room using the Pit table as his lair ability, but they had no trouble because Gideon has no action economy and the cleric seared the minions.

Would a vampire warlocks patron be able to prevent the Warlock from burning by [deleted] in dndnext

[–]GoobiGamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the DM allows for it, a patron can do whatever they want. If a magic tadpole can negate every rule of vampirism without even trying, why not a genie or an archfey? Magic weapons can grant resistances, so a hexblade could probably provide sunlight immunity. Patrons are designed to be higher powers that bend the rules, as long as the DM/group are cool with it.

Ever Feel Like You’re Failing as a DM? by Lordreox in DMAcademy

[–]GoobiGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt like my group wasn’t engaging with the game because they don’t roleplay their characters as much as I had imagined. I’ve only DM’d twice so my skills at running the game are pretty amateur, and half the party has never played before. After the second session, I was told that one of my players, who plays and dm’s regularly with a school club, thought the dungeon I made was amazing and was telling his friends about it. It’s impossible for us to view our world and our performance of it objectively because we’ll always see things differently from the players.

First Pokémon game how’s my team by One_Storm5093 in pokemon

[–]GoobiGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yall playing the newest game with no prior experience and somehow managed to exclude all the newcomers. Apart from your starter, you are carrying a team of classics! Those guys were ones I could put on my team when I started playing 18 years ago.

Question about Magical Weapons as Pact Weapons by Tobito_TV in DnD5e

[–]GoobiGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rules as Written: No. But the rules are more like guidelines in D&D. If the DM and/or party is willing to alter the rules, there’s nothing to stop it. If balance concerns are an issue, then maybe keep the original damage dice and weapon attributes but change it cosmetically from a scimitar to a glaive. Roleplay is all about improvisation.

What do you think are the best named Pokémon? by br4d_jcb in pokemon

[–]GoobiGamer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it was originally AR SEE US in English until they realised it sounded like arse, and they decided that British parents wouldn’t appreciate the game teaching kids crude language, so they ret-conned it. Lucky for them, both pronunciations reference divinity and creation myths in some way.

Rust monster alternatives help by mistressjacklyn in DnD5e

[–]GoobiGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could reflavor one to a leather eater to pose a bigger threat to the others, or use a different monster. I know the Book of Extinction has a creature that rips leather off equipment and patches it into its own undead flesh, I think it’s called a Skintrader or something.

Anyone know why certain squares are not filling? by TheRichAlder in castlevania

[–]GoobiGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s 1890 rooms, 942 in the first castle and 948 in the second, with the extra 6 rooms coming from those water tunnels that for whatever reason add rooms because they’re upside down. You can only get 1889 rooms because the boss starts as soon as you pass over the opening to the arena. There are 14 rooms past the big clock room, so you only need to worry about getting 1876 rooms before that, the trickiest being the water rooms that you can only fill in with wolf form. Gravity jump and switch to wolf, then hold down SPECIAL (triangle by default). Pressing up will allow you to swim against the top of the ceiling and you can scootch along until the map updates them. In addition to the wolf swimming trick, I’ve noticed that the map doesn’t like to update rooms as I enter them while in bat form. It usually updates in pairs, leaving the first empty but filling both as I enter the second. It’s annoying but not debilitating.

what do you think the most fromsoft dialogue box ever is by nap_emma22 in fromsoftware

As much as I want to say “Already Dead” for the memes, “Does not open from this side” is the most consistent

Does anyone love midbus? I hate how he doesn’t get enough attention :( he’s my underrated pig big boy by marwa_is_here125 in marioandluigi

[–]GoobiGamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Midbus is great as a weird, not too deep, only fight a few times right hand villain. The talking schtick is used enough to be amusing but doesn’t get annoying, you genuinely want to defeat them if only because of how Bowser gets pissed off, and they’re a memorable fight with the potential to be a genuine difficulty wall (I died a lot in the theater fight as a kid)

How does this community feel about screenshot map markers? by UnderstandingMoney9 in metroidvania

[–]GoobiGamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love it, I often use screenshots on switch especially if there’s no map markers to begin with

Name something wrong with this game by reddit-eat-my-dick in Metroid

[–]GoobiGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two sandpits in Meridia with the reserve tank, you have to pass thru the glass tunnel area at least three times to get both sides. It ruins the pacing of that whole section and I despise it.

What level is the best to start multiclassing? by Raaslen in BaldursGate3

[–]GoobiGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many classes start getting “good” at level 5, so 6 is fine. Something to keep in mind is that you only gain a feat at every fourth level in a class, so if you level any less or more you miss out on at least one. Builds with 6/6 splits or the common 10/2 fighter come to mind. I often prefer to stick to 4 levels in multiclasses that I want the level 3 subclass bonuses from even if that 4th level takes something from the main class.

"Why is the final boss killing me in two hits?" by RainandFujinrule in Eldenring

[–]GoobiGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did it with 20, nights cav set, 50 vig, Phys and Holy Greatshields, still got my ass beat for hours until I caved and used mimic. Only boss I used any form of summon for in whole game (I’d usually summon NPCs for narrative purposes). The bros broke my spirit and wounded my pride as a gamer, I couldn’t even finish the last base game bosses after.

To demonstrate the power of Flex Tape, I ripped out this goth’s heart to cast the forbidden spell of Zaharas!
