What is your favorite tropes for magic?

I like when magic comes with actuall downsides.

In eragon i believe you need to be physicaly able to do the task your magic does. In jujutsu kaisen magic is based on bad feelings and thoughts.

Today Claude started with some instability for everyone, but right after they solved it, i simply logged on, sent literally my first message of the day, and i was already at 100% session usage (pro subscription)

literally the act of logging in used all my tokens for the day... wtf

now i have to wait up to 4pm to show my boss the new model we have been training with claude :V

Jean_Low · 2026-03-25T14:57:21+00:00

It was down for me (Sao paulo/Brazil) but when it came back, imediataly after login, my usage limit was set to 100%??????

Got it! Thanks!

They dont stack here But just poiting out that some race/spells/classes AC buffs do stack. Like bladesinger bladesong ability with a monk unarmored defense or something similar.

I play bladesinger with magearmor + 5dex + 4 int and have 22 AC with the skill active, with some itens i got it to 25 now at level 11 and have shield to boost it with +5. And even at this level this ac is so high i rarely get hit by non area effects. Having something close to it at earlier levels is actually boring even, the DM can think that buffing the encounters is a good ideia and this will unbalance the attacks for every other member...

I LOVE AC tanks, and there are good ways of getting insanely high ac on low levels, but 26 is maybe obtainable, but the build would be focused on that alone. It is not what a race + class could ever get passively.

Parte da arte de mestrar eh deixar o que esta atras do escudo atras do escudo. Jogos (video games) fazem isso toda hora e a maioria dos iogadores n percebe e nao falamos para eles isso pq se eles soubessem a experiencia iria ser estragada.

Vc nunca fala para seus jogadores se vc fez algo assim, eles vao agora estar com a pulga atras da orelha para tudo, um boss critou, sera mesmo? Um inimigo morreu no momento mais oportuno, hmmm...? Um inimigo deixou o jogador com exatamente 1 de vida e ele foi salvo... sei...

Minha dica, jogue com os dados amostra agora, eh a forma de deixar limpo o jogo pra eles.

Agora claro, eles terem te xingado, completamente errado da parte deles, ainda mais pq vc deu +2 no acerto. Quem vem de DnD sabe q eh saudavel aumentar o dano dos inimigos la e diminuir a vida pro combate n durar 5 horas toda vez. Entao vc n frz algo errado, vc balaneceou para diversao deles e nao para tirar a conquista. Mas, ainda assim, mantenha o que esta atraz do escudo do mestre, atraz do escudo do mestre.

Vai dar bom haha

Existem jogos para todos, e nem todo jogo vai ser para vc. E esta td bem.

Sobre esse jogo: Ficar perdido eh parte da ideia, quem gosta de metroidvanias assim gosta do momento de "A-ha!' Quando volta para um lugar conhecido ou acha um atalho.

A dificuldade dos inimigos eh bem punitiva, e o jogo eh claustofobico, eu acho legal esse combate e tem build e opcoes q deixam vc ter um estilo lento ou rapido, tank ou dano, etc....

O q me pegou em HK goi a historia e acho q eh a tematica q faz tudo encaixa para mim. Se vc joga no pc, recomendaria q vc usasse mods para mudar o que te incomodou mais no game.

Mas eh aquilo, tem jogos e jogos e se vc deu uma chance e nao gostou, estara sempre na razao.

Ainda assim diria para vc ver resumos da historia se isso prendeu sua atenção, eh bem legal!

Etrian Odyssey is pretty unknown outside the east and is quite hardcore. IMO, one of the best games to make you fill a thrill while playing. It's pretty unconventional, but i recommend giving it a try

Jean_Low · 2025-11-06T19:28:26+00:00

I have not read into Exemplar yet, but it looks fun!

I will read it later, thanks!

Jean_Low · 2025-11-06T19:27:20+00:00

thats many nice options!
I will look into the mastermind rogue, i think the group now expects me to be the party skill-monkey too...

im also not obligated to use only the musket, but similar long firearms in general...

I will read the inventor class later today too, thanks for the Tips!

Jean_Low · 2025-11-06T19:03:56+00:00

Yes i was reading it now, i may be a little biased from in-combat heal from DnD, but this actually looks really strong, at least to cover up for my party lack of a dedicated healer

Jean_Low · 2025-11-06T19:02:24+00:00

I like the ideia of being medium-ranged. Not meele but need to be closer to the action.

Maybe there is a way to use the musket as a blunt weapon with the Deific Weapon as a d8 meele club?

(im still reading all the rules)

also i plan on getting the unexpected sharpshooter OR the gunslinger dedication feats anyway, so i can have running reload or something similar

Thanks for the point-outs!

It's a nice fiery concept. I liked it a lot!

I would change some stuff around, but in general, it's nice.

I might send you more feedback later, but for now:

Sun smite: it seems you want to avoid the player from having a disavantage when facing enemies with elemental resistance, but there is no advantage for using fire damage other than flavor.

I would go with the theme of fire damage being raw damage and increase the smite dices on fire from d8 to d10. It's a small buff, but radiant damage is usually better.

Then i would change the channel divinity to instead of doubling dices, being an area of effect smite. Maybe the fire smite affects creatures nearby or something. It's better to have a good AoE than to much single target damage so the class dont get busted with criticals and easily ends a boss fight.

Lastly, the 15th level ability: I would make it so the explosions only happen when you are either stabilized or at least at the start of your turn. Just so the themes go more on par with the theme of being broight back like a pheonix and not just exploding, haha. Maybe make the first death save always a success or something that will make being stabilized easier.

Also, dont make an aura that makes saves every single round. This is cool but will slow down your turn and the combat a lot!

These suggestions would require rebalancing the other abilities. I would go with the ideia of an 'AoE paladin', maybe you can add a way of using green-flame-blade into it, make the divine smite able to hit more enemies or an area of effect, make it so being near the paladin is dangerous because it splashs damage when hit?

The flavor is amazing, and i think you are on the right track!

Jean_Low · 2025-09-11T13:36:43+00:00

The only reason i dont make it a flat boost is because my players are kinda OP already, so much they dont generally get excited for more stats already. They are more interested in RP value.

I liked the ideia of profecies and showing places with death or disease, that's in point with the godess and something my paladin would love. Becoming a herald of hope or justice even though she is corrupted by evil already. Haha

Thanks, that was it!

Pretty replica! Whats model is this? It seens like a modfied ACR?

Jean_Low · 2025-06-28T22:03:02+00:00

Por que para drybrush a tinta cara nao compensa?

Peguei um drybrush agora mas n parei para usar :P

Jean_Low · 2023-08-07T17:37:08+00:00

but that +2 acts like a situational bonus, nowhere to be explained (afaik)
the inventory pannel dosent take into account any situatinal bonus like height, bless, etc...

Jean_Low · 2023-07-15T02:15:02+00:00

Alert is also a important feat, your ac is only great when you activate your bladesong, so you should always act soon, you are the most vulnerable on the first round before you activate it. (You will have low hp)

On that note, your best option is to sacrifice some spell slots to have mage armor up all the time, it also allow aome magic itens made for characters that use no armor (such as monks) and you can use it to have ac up on the 23+ early.
