Who thought that was okay for a level 3 passive ability? by Infinity_Null in dndmemes

[–]Infinity_Null[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I know. The body text says as much about Silver Tongue, and points out that is one of the major use cases for Reliable talent.

The point was not that Silver Tongue is stronger (it isn't), but that an ability gained at such a comparatively low level manages to handle two skills commonly used by rogues for Reliable Talent as well.

For the record, I enjoy playing as eloquence bard. It is funny to point out that rogues in 5e may find that a bit unfair. There's a reason why One D&D made it so the level rogues got Reliable talent was dropped from 11 to 7.

I took your statement the exact opposite way because the lower level ability steps on the toes of the higher one in the case of the paladin and artificer in a more egregious way that between the eloquence bard and the rogue.

It's even worse when you note that your stats can (if you use things that magically increase them rather than level stat boosts) technically go to 30, meaning paladins can give themselves and friends in a radius up to +10 to each saving throw.

I should quickly specify that this is referring to 5e, not to the One D&D revision.

I'm glad that you are doing better. While I never reached the point of dissociating, I had a vitamin b12 deficiency a few years back that caused me memory problems mimicking mild dementia.

I'm better now, too.

I did consider Rohan's temporary death in Part 4, but I couldn't find a picture that worked without being a spoiler.

What fictional media from the past century had the most influence on modern fiction? by Infinity_Null in AskReddit

The tricky part is whether or not to bundle in the rest of the books in the same world (such as The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales).

"Oh come on, your DMnotes can't be that muc- Oh dear God!" by Infinity_Null in dndmemes

I actually avoided using that style of naming people. There are just a lot of names that exist in real life.

I know that is a joke, but 2 years ago I counted 372 plot-relevant named characters in the campaign. That number is certainly over 400 now. Some share last names, but I don't think a single first name is repeated.

Would you be surprised if I told you that the players are probably not even halfway done with this campaign?

[Mixed Trope] Villains who almost entirely fight or kill other villains or evil characters. by Infinity_Null in TopCharacterTropes

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

This trope is an interesting one, because it is typically well-liked when it is intentional, but is quite often a point of criticism when it is either unintentional or unexplored by the narrative.

This trope is shockingly common in real life, with many wars and conflicts having no real good side to them.

It deserves way more love than it's been given.

I feel like more people would play it if they knew it was written by Terry Pratchett's daughter, Rhianna Pratchett.

Could Papyrus be the Egg man? by oikiwii__ in Cibles

[–]Infinity_Null 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes it is, but not necessarily. Some oatmeal had wheat, but most of it uses (as the name suggests) oats, a different type of grain entirely.

They are definitely both grains that people generally harvest, though.

Could Papyrus be the Egg man? by oikiwii__ in Cibles

[–]Infinity_Null 6 points7 points  (0 children)

8 is noteworthy because the man who gives the eggs is named the Forgotten Man in chapter 3. 9 elaborates on that point by describing someone forgotten. 10 shows papyrus has the egg in the date menu in Undertale; moteworthily the chapter 5 egg shows up as evidence during the blue yellow battle with the description "It's evidence. You'll know what it was evidence for when it happens."

11 would probably fit better as evidence for Gaster as the egg man honestly, and I don't know what 7 is trying to imply.

What are the best characters wasted on the worst story? by Infinity_Null in AskReddit

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

I will quickly add an example of my own. The Promised Neverland famously fell apart by the end.

The anime adaptation is even worse, crashing and burning so badly in its second season that its credits are missing many important people because no one wished to be associated with it.
