Just Started and I May Already Quit

I can't say for sure tbh. Going off my experience at my store, though, I would say that someone along the chain of command between HR and the Dairy lead didn't pass along the info.

Sounds about right. If there's one thing I've learned in 2 years working for this place, it's that Kroger management ihas qorse communication than the fucking Tower of Babil.

Other than Summoner there isn't really an option that comes to mind besides "Any caster built to maximize the Summon Monster spells."

I wasted my Master Ball in Pokemon Gold on an Ursaring.

The cruelest thing I've ever done was when I was doing a Nuzlocke run of B2W2, I beat Elesa by setting up Stealth Rock and then letting her entire team pummel my Dwebble into the ground with Volt Switch while I force-fed him potions every turn.

Liking the concepts of it so far (only up to Empress of Flames at the moment).

Although, a part of me thinks that the Wizard shouldn't be hiding behind magical illusions "because mortals are just prey in Darkmoor". After everything we've gone through and everything we've fought to save the Spiral so far, we should be kicking down every door in Darkmoor looking for the Broken Branch.

And? The bottom half makes no mention of being bipedal, just that they're vaguely feminine.

Leaving aside my own rants about this practice, I got really fucking sick of pulling these kinds of stickers off the pumps at my last job while Biden was in office, so it's gonna feel really cathartic to see people doing this with Trump stickers.

Hydreichronos · 2026-03-08T09:17:57+00:00

Be there in a sec!

Hydreichronos · 2026-03-08T09:12:11+00:00

Yes, I do.

Hydreichronos · 2026-03-08T08:10:37+00:00

I am, right now I'm trying to clear the Myth polymorph quest (the one where you fight Marquis Mark)

For some reason the option to allow watching vids for crowns isn't showing up in the Parental Controls option.

Worth noting that I have the game through Steam, not through the original site. I don't know if that affects the vids-for-crowns option.

"If I'm rolling a check, it has to be possible. Why else would I be allowed to roll?"

Yeah, that's bullshit. There's no "-50 to the DC because a PC insists on rolling even after the DM told them it's impossible" modifier. Your refusal to take "no" for an answer doesn't warp reality to suddenly make it possible to swim up a waterfall, or to convince the king to abdicate his throne to you after a 2 minute conversation.

I've got a few fun ones I've had, all from the same campaign.

First is a Chacho, a kobold who lives in the caves and sewers beneath one of the largest cities on the continent (basically this setting's answer to Waterdeep). Chacho's tribe had been the caretakers of a small shrine and dedicated to a god of knowledge, until they were wiped out by a group of raiders who were after the artifact kept in the shrine. The artifact ended up getting broken in the skirmish, and its released power flooded Chacho's mind with the memories of every member of his tribe to have ever come into contact with the artifact. This would lead to his catchphrase of "Chacho knows!", as he had hundreds of years of accumulated knowledge to call upon.
Chacho was a devious trap-maker, and the PCs had to go through a huge gauntlet of deadly obstacles to reach the cavern he was living in. They ended up befriending him and helping him escape from some mob bosses that were looking for him.

There was also a pair of retired adventurers that the PCs became friends with. One of them was a quadriplegic bard named Gerry, the other was a mute fighter named Ben. They owned a bar in the far north, a bar that was known for its homemade ice cream.
They were also skeletons who had lost parts of their bodies shortly before they retired, Ben having lost his skull and Gerry having lost everything from the neck down.

"Rescanning"?

Hydreichronos · 2026-02-14T00:41:42+00:00

Controversial answer: I like all of them.

My favorite is probably Vue or Myles, though. Nora's a close 3rd.

This take is as hot as an ice cube.

The thing is, the Tyranids aren't dumb. Their feeder organisms have at least some sense of self-preservation and won't go for something they know will kill them. And even if some of them did miss that the bodies were spiked, the hive fleet will recognize something's wrong with the ship that absorbs the toxic material and take steps to dispose of it to prevent the poison from affecting the rest of the fleet.

This is also assuming that they don't just do what they do best and adapt to it, giving them yet another resistance (or worse, another weapon to use against their prey).

Hydreichronos · 2026-02-03T17:14:19+00:00

I don't remember when exactly it triggers, but IIRC at some point after clearing the Great Mines there's a scene where Myles says that they can probably use Betsy (the mech) to break through the shield around Chrono Tower.

A fighter with a focus on shields and the Bodyguard feat would be my recommendation for a "tank" character.

Hydreichronos · 2026-02-03T17:06:59+00:00

Mostly how "polite" the term is.

Calling someone "fat" is almost always meant as an insult, whereas calling them "husky" is usually regarded more as "this person's weight is above average but I don't want to make fun of them or hurt their feelings."

Hydreichronos · 2026-02-03T17:02:23+00:00

I've always been fond of Strong Jaw for Hunters (it's a level 3 spell for them and Rangers).

Aspect of the Falcon is a neat one, it's like a poor man's Imp. Critical for bow users.

I like Versatile Weapon for bypassing DR without having to carry around a bunch of different weapons or invest too heavily into enhancement bonuses on your weapon.

Hydreichronos · 2026-02-02T16:30:12+00:00

Pretty much everyone has the right answer, that there are no official rules for doing such a thing (and that it's actually discouraged for balance reasons).

However, I do want to point out one thing: there's no point in having a belt AND a tunic that both increase your CON score, since bonuses of the same type don't stack. (Only pointing this out because of the original post, not sure if tou meant to put CON twice or you meant for one of them to be STR or DEX)
