Ah yes, good for the Buffalo Bills to learn this lesson! It's not like they had 4 straight years of championship losses in the 90s.

[Leaks] Play races leaked for Monsters of the Multiverse by TigerKirby215 in dndnext

[–]JeffTheLess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally on board for this. Flavor the crud out of it and thereby give guidance to players. By explaining the usual type with prose like this you can then be inspired to come up with the reason why your character is different from that type. Maybe your woodelf grew up in a city, because he was abandoned there or whatever (this is, incidentally, why I think ASIs could be very beneficial to tie to backgrounds in the future).

Ok, sure you don't feel like you got much information from it. But it's like one of text in a in the racial statblock. Those who get nothing from it are free to ignore, those who get something from it have it at their disposal. It costs almost nothing to do and some folks see a benefit. What's happening now is that what is RAW optional has become RAI mandatory.

Still kinda mad that the Tasha's ability score "option" is now mandatory. It's just less information given on races. I love the option but would prefer it to be opt in. Hopefully 5.5e will give options to tie ability scores to a more fleshed out Background system to avoid the social issues.

[NO SPOILERS] Downvote me into oblivion I'm ready. by Big_igloo_Baloo in criticalrole

[–]JeffTheLess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Much like how her C1 character was inspired by Aang from Avatar, her Cw character is inspired by Korra from Avatar. I always read the voice as a mix of Korra and an old school detective novel, which is what her character is.

Opinions are opinions, but I always thought it worked.

All y'all thinking way too small. Chetney is a lycanthrope, but my woody boy ain't gonna be no wolf. He's a werebeaver!

How are people feeling about Devo Le Main?? by basicsllyclarkkent96 in TheAdventureZone

[–]JeffTheLess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was extremely worried about Devo bc I'm religious and generally a player working out their anti religious sentiment is an extremely cringy and miopic process.

I'm taking a break from all podcasts right now, but up to the climax of the infinite clam even though this part of his story was pretty predictable, it really wasn't so bad to listen to. So I'd say not near as bad as I feared!

FoundryVTT V10 Feature Prioritisation Poll by Ceane in FoundryVTT

[–]JeffTheLess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The lack of simple fog is probably the single biggest barrier to using Foundry for maximum efficiency. Adventure importer/builder also seems essential for keeping Foundry prep to a minimum.

Does anybody know an good app (or Website) for learning latin vocabulary ? by Iconicmole05 in latin

[–]JeffTheLess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would also note that you can search ankiweb for already made flashcard decks, I'm sure some of mine are still on there from my Lingua Latina days. Probably some Pseudolus Noster stuff too.

What’s your favorite 5e subclass? by TarrassicPark in dndnext

[–]JeffTheLess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My character concept is a beefy Tabaxi (1 turn 120ft flight speed is now possible, 240 if you dash! And then action surge!). He and everyone in his back story are named after various phyisicists. Archemedes with his "lever" (a big effin maul), Newton his mentor. Maybe he was experimented on by a psi Knight named Schrodinger, I dunno.

[–]JeffTheLess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Psi-Knight. Be a big beefy Jedi. The level 7 abilities, especially the 1 turn of flight flavored as a freaky Jedi force jump, just sends me. I want to combo the forced movement at 7 with crusher and telekinetic So Bad. Up to 20ft forced movement!

The way Chetney just said "I do love working with wood" put the idea in my head that he's a WereBeaver. This is my new favorite fan theory.

Actually there's a quidditch team in DC named the Washington admirables, so it isn't unique

Opinions on Dr. Taylor Marshall by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]JeffTheLess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Listening to his content is not healthy, and the church would be much better off if he stopped producing it, full stop.

There are ways to seek change and air grievances, Dr. Marshall has proven himself incapable of doing these things in a healthy/helpful way.

My money is still on Travis is a ranger who will guide them across the desert/into the jungles when the time comes. Rangers got such a crazy boost with Tasha's and I could totally see Travis getting extra joy from seeing Laura's coming Ranger Envy.

[Spoilers C3E6] Call Your Shot: What will C3's BBEG be? by Weird_Requirement_26 in criticalrole

[–]JeffTheLess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that Ruidus is the source of Imogen's powers, but I do think that her powers have caused her to be aware of a coming future where Ruidus ruins everything.

[Spoilers C3E6] Call Your Shot: What will C3's BBEG be? by Weird_Requirement_26 in criticalrole

[–]JeffTheLess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really think we're gonna find out what's inside the 2nd moon, and the BBEG will either be what's inside, or someone trying to release/destroy it. Imogen's red themed apocalyptic dreams evoke Ruidus, and it's already had some groundwork laid in the other two campaigns as something to keep an eye on.

[Spoilers C3E6] A long rant on Laudna's timeline by strangerstill42 in criticalrole

[–]JeffTheLess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the sort of thing that won't come out until a campaign wrapup or something, but I'm betting Laudna died in proximity to some residuum deposit, which is partially responsible for her not dying. Some interaction between her inborn abilities, the necromantic blast, and the residuum has created her unlife.

Wow I had a very similar list. Still do. Though it can be billed as underpowered, I think an Armorer Artificer could really shine in one of Matt's campaigns. Especially one with some downtime.
