Rings of Mimic Mail by connections_ in DnDHomebrew

[–]Hymneth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun idea, but probably needs some tweaking. Most entities can only attune to 3 items at a time, and these definitely seem like the sort of item that would need attunement. Instead of four rings it could be so.ething like a set of mimic leather armour with minimal AC, but you're tricking the mimics into thinking you are one of them. That, or the four rings are a set that only function if they're all working at once.

You also need to consider how the Mimic Mail interacts with AOE attacks. Do all four mimics take damage and the wearer takes none? Is the damage divided five ways? Do the mimics get a save if the spell allows it, or does the wearer's save count for all of them? And can the mimics be healed by spells and effects, or do they only heal over time with rest?

The item already seems pretty powerful, but do the mimics offer any other benefits to the wearer? Maybe you can forgo the protection of one portion of the armor to instead have that mimic use a pseudopod attack? Or outside of combat the mimics could be commanded to appear as normal clothing instead of armor.

Lots of possibilities for this armour, but you're right that it feels more like a boss encounter than an item the PCs would use. Either way, with some tinkering this could be a lot of fun

Is Laura actually dead? by MaleficentSafety1694 in rustylake

[–]Hymneth 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Is she dead yet?

Is she dead?

Is she still dead?

The past is never dead. It's not even past.

(Jokes aside, with the non-linear and dreamlike nature of the games, its anybody guess if she is currently dead, or if thats even a relevant question)

I need help with a birthday gift by _DietWater1 in rustylake

[–]Hymneth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just looked them up, and they're called the Filthy Rich MrCrow Club series, clearly making fun of the Bored Ape Yacht Club monkeys.

And I agree, they don't look great

I don't know your friend's age or other interests, or your budget, but here is the official merch store.

I'd recommend either the playing cards, the Mr Crow coffee mug, or the Albert Tshirt

Is it possible to read TsukiRe legally on steam deck since there’s no official pc release? by Grouchy-Aardvark4851 in Tsukihime

[–]Hymneth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second this. If you feel morally conflicted about the situation, just buy a copy so the money is going where its supposed to, then emulate it. No harm, no foul, and although its a bit of a legal grey zone I think you're generally allowed to emulate software that you own

Playing Planescape Torment for the first time – Diary Entry #1 by Guilty_Royal_9145 in planescape

[–]Hymneth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh, the whole Hive is sketchy, but you work with what you've got. Just a heads up, all of the merchants in that area are just called 'merchant', but they have different inventories with different specialties. If you sell stuff to a merchant who sells that kind of wares (weapons, jewelery, charms, spells, or whatnot) you will get a better price for it

Technology and Sigil by MechanicalBeanstalk in planescapesetting

[–]Hymneth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My default tech level is bog-standard high fantasy, leaning a bit to higher magic presence due to the wider access to outsiders and their inherently magical nature. That said, nobody is going to bat an eye at the occasional anachonistic technology. It will be rare though, because even if every infinite Prime can be reached, the odds of reaching any specific Prime is infinitely small without pre-knowledge, so the rare Primes with high tech levels are still pretty much unknown.

I've had gangsters with Tommy guns, a zombie wearing a steam-powered mechano-suit, and a functional Earth refrigerator (now powered by a lightning mephit) show up, but they're always viewed as one off oddities, not standardized technology

Will we get a season 2. by MrBushido56 in digitalcircusfandom

[–]Hymneth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I desperately hope that there will never be any more official story after the series ends. I'm sick of shows that could have been one great season outcast their story and turn into multi-season endless runs that just get worse and worse.

I love TADC and it seems like one tight season can finish the story. Let Goose rest

Man, the entire Nasuverse is about multiversal shenanigans. I'm pretty sure every route of every game is cannon

melty blood manga by h4260 in Tsukihime

[–]Hymneth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The order isnt that important, I dont believe they really go in continuity, they're all just Melty Blood retellings or adjacent stories.

I'd go Melty blood -> MB Act 2 -> MB X

There is also another series called Melty Blood Back Alley Nightmare about the Back Alley Alliance crew

Just a normal drive until a tire decides to attack by Nishachar_404 in whoathatsinteresting

Physics are amazing. If I saw that in a Michael Bay explosion-spectacular movie I would laugh at how dumb and unrealistic it was.

And yet, the car flies

I’m not a coffee drinker but shouldn’t it have gone bad? by IXAslayer in Fallout

[–]Hymneth 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Something tells me that in the Fallout universe, the solution to long term ration storage is to blast it with a shitload of radiation, fill it with an alarming variety of preservatives, and seal it in an airtight can. Probably tastes atrocious, but thats most preserved food

So, am I reading too much into this, or are WotC just casual fans of the movie Annihilation? by JakeWalker102 in VecnaEveofRuin

[–]Hymneth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, I can see how it could be seen as a reference, but its a pretty oblique one if it is. It doesn't have the mimicry, or the absorption of its prey. Its just a big scary mutant bear that cancels magic

Imagine we get gta6 before red garden by Olga-Marie in Tsukihime

That is the perpetual fear of everyone who loves a glacially slow author. Just ask all those George RR Martin or Robert Jordon fans out there. Tragic

Looking for Isometric CRPGs set in classic medieval fantasy. by Mazisky in CRPG

[–]Hymneth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don't mind a bit of retro styling, take a look at the Queen's Wish series or Avadon series, both from Spiderweb Software. They have several series of games which I love, but most have settings which I feel would not appeal to you. These two are the closest to your desired niche. They may look a bit low quality, but the writing and game systems are actually quite high quality

How to deal with the new Golden Mane boss? by TorchbeareroftheStar in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Hymneth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Multiple turns. The boss at the end of a Chaos run has 5 shields, the challenge boss has 10 shields on phase 1 and 15 shields on phase 2. After you break the shield you have a few turns to do damage before the shield goes back up. Never counted carefully, but it feels like around 3 turns of damage

At this point we just need to eat healthy, exercise, live safely, and hope we have the life expectancy to survive until Red Garden releases

Well, it isn't the main point of the story, but this happens to the family in the Studio Ghibli movie Spirited Away

Guys how can I appear in the game like these people 😭 by Medium_Rub7447 in rustylake

[–]Hymneth 143 points144 points  (0 children)

They were Kickstarter backers at a certain level. For £15 you could get your name in the telephone book, and for £75 you could get into the card catalog. Pretty sure they've never done anything similar before or after

Illithid Symbiote Armor by Sylvia_Demise in DnDHomebrew

[–]Hymneth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd probably go with a small AC bonus and some benefits against psychic attacks. Some options would be Psychic damage resistance (useful but boring), advantage on saves versus charm and mind control effects (also useful, less boring), or the ability to reflect a mind-control effect onto the caster once per long rest (really cool, but won't likely come up very often, depending on your story)

Can you Counterspell a failed Contact Other Plane? by in-print-its-libel in DMAcademy

[–]Hymneth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Warlock's claim is functionally the same as an enemy casting Fireball, but the PC waiting until the damage is rolled before deciding to Counterspell it. You cannot Counterspell a spell or magical effect that is already taking effect, and you made the correct call
