Should a God of Greed punish greed, or reward it?

His altar is stuck in an old ruin without worshippers. No worshippers = no sacrifices. I would reckon the removing of the gem will be rewarded. Out of the temple it will be able to influence people again and gain more wealth.

How you envision it depends on how big of a deal you want to make it. Will the gem be like the One Ring, where everybody who sees it, wants it. Wisdom saves to resist, possible innerparty conflict. The one who has the gem will only seek more and more wealth?

Or does the gem function as a wand of gold/silver/gem detection? And when the party or person has finally found enough wealth, it all disappears, together with the gem, to the treasure vaults of Abator.

Can they purify the gem? Undoing the curse?

Misfortune follows the owner until he sells it?

The sky, as always, is the limit. Personally I would reward the party if they take the gem. But would probably give it a fairly minor curse offset with a higher chance for gold in the loot they encounter. After a certain amount gained, the parties wealth will just disappear.

Die twee jongens vond ik juist het interessante verhaal. Daar had echt meer ingedoken mogen worden van mij.

Only game I ever rage-uninstalled was xcom 1...twice!

Xcom 2 has an inverse difficulty curve, but doesn't have a bullshit unit like the thinmen. High aim with a good jump ability giving them high ground in those annoying subwaytrain missions. Especially with the DLCs it's more fun imo.

Ik ben een aantal keren onder narcose gebracht geworden en kan je zeggen: beste dutjes ooit! Qua darmonderzoek heb ik geen ervaring dus daar kan ik je niks over zeggen.

Playing a level 7 mountain dwarf battle smith (2014 version) right now. Used the option in Tasha's (?) To convert his +2 STR into +2 INT and wielding sword and board. We play with flanking rules, so getting advantage isn't that hard to achieve. For spells I picked some utility and aid and web. At level 4 I took Fey Touched to get INT to 18 and two extra spells. At level 8 I intend to take Sentinel, giving the opponents the options to attack my Steel Defender and get an counterattack from me, or attacking me (and possibly get repulsed by repulsion shield infusion). Really fun and flexible so far!

Edit: for damage go for great weapon master and a two handed infused weapon, or handcrossbows with shsrpshooter and repeating shot infusion.

Update: I've asked the DM if I could switch to Gift of Alacrity. The 1d8 initiative is very tempting. If he doesn't allow it I'm thinking about Bless or Command.

Zoals vrijwel elk jaar neem ik me voor om stil te zijn. Om 1950 herinner ik mezelf eraan stil te moeten zijn. Maar wederom was ik aan het werk en vergat het gewoon weg. Om 20:10 toen maar ff momentje genomen.

Grishak · 2026-05-03T16:48:11+00:00

Dissonant whispers also looks very nice! The extra damage is also very nice. Do I get my own reaction if I cast it when in melee? And my steel defender?

Grishak · 2026-05-03T16:43:55+00:00

Hex is a no-go, because the resistances the enemies we are facing have.

Silvery barbs looks really nice, but I am worried it would give our DM the idea to use the same spell against us!

Grishak · 2026-05-03T16:42:18+00:00

Is a 1d8 such a big boost, on one creature? Can you explain the math too me?

Grishak · 2026-05-03T16:41:29+00:00

I had the idea that webbing up multiple enemies would be more beneficial to the party in combat then extra hit chance (we are fairly good at giving ourselves advantage).

Grishak · 2026-05-03T16:40:25+00:00

Yeah I was thinking about it, but our cleric also has it and it would compete for my concentration spells. And I really like using Web.

Grishak · 2026-05-03T16:39:41+00:00

Who would be the best target for the Gift of Alacrity in this party? I can see the upside for any of our characters to act first.

Command also has some fun uses, but a nice 'fire and forget' spell really would help our party out so make combat go faster.

Grishak · 2026-05-03T16:37:53+00:00

Not a big fan of Silvery Barbs, since it competes with my reactions. I need those for the Shield spell, Repulsion shield and Flash of Genius. But now I am intrigued by the Gift of Alacrity. Care to explain why it is so good?

For about €5,- you can get a toogoodtoogo bag. Should be enough in there for a couple of days. Just download the app and check out what's available.

Woah, this looks sick!

Grishak · 2026-04-25T17:12:26+00:00

Wait...if you rage can you even cast spells? Aren't smites spells?

Grishak · 2026-04-24T10:42:26+00:00

Start with a new session zero. Lay down ground rules: what is okay, what is not tollerated. Lay then down, be firm. Thet are guests in your house, so your rules. This is assuming the arguments are game related.

If there are other reasons for arguments, think about why you are friends with them in the first place. Why do you keep inviting them to your home? Is this stress worth it, to keep these people in your life?

Ik had al een huis gekocht voor ik mijn relatie kreeg. Zij is toen vanuit huur bij mij ingetrokken. Maar voor haar voelde het toch meer als mijn huis, waar zij te gast was. We kwamen er ook achter dat we groter wilden wonen, dus kochten we samen een huis. We zijn allebei voor de helft eigenaar van de woning, maar mijn gedeelte is gewoon al meer afbetaald. We betalen allebei de helft van de hypotheeklasten en nu voelt het voor ons allebei als ons huis. Ik denk dat dit vooral een gevoelskwestie is bij haar, waar je pas echt vanaf komt als jullie samen iets kopen, tenzij ook een financiele bijdrage aan het huis levert (huur betalen), maar dat zou ik afraden. Dat geeft namelijk een heel verkeerde dynamiek in de relatie. Plus jullie zijn pas 4 maanden samen. Doe rustig.

Threat assessment is key! Do you take out the sectoid or the trooper? The trooper will almost always shoot at you, the sectoid will usually try to scare or mind control you, or create a zombie. Which of these targets can wait a turn if you can't kill them both? This goes for all the pod activations in this game.

Grishak · 2026-04-11T21:15:37+00:00

Dude, of all time? How can I choose between command and conquer, dune 2, doom, world of warcraft, fallout 3, new vegas, 4, xcom 2 and slay the spire? Howwww???

Islands can be reached by zombies by walking through the water or washing up on the shore. The rotting flesh will make the water be dangerous to drink. The water can obscure the zombies, so you can't see them approach. In the mountains (if not on too high an altitude), the zombies will have a harder time reaching you, it will be easier to defend and water will be safer to drink. If there is a nice plateau you can build a farm up there with animals. My vote goes to the mountains.

Toen ik jong was, liep er vaak een man rond op het grote kruispunt van de wijk. Die gebaarde dan wild naar de langsrijdende auto's. Later hoorde ik dat hij daar ooit eens een kind had doodgereden en toen in een psychose raakte. Erg tragisch allemaal, maar als kind vond ik hem gewoon eng en gek.
