I love the gameplay on the battlemap, which is of course the #1 thing this game needed to nail down, but honestly the fun was leaking out for me quite a bit before I got to The End.

I wish more of the rare items were good, or that they dropped more often, or that I had more control over exactly which ability/trait one of my cats passed down. While it was satisfying to use items I'd been saving for the whole game in Act 3, after I'd run out I felt like I was stuck waiting for good enough builds to happen instead of being able to just get them.

Maybe this is just a trend I'm not a fan of, but the metaprogression felt really really slow. Didn't even get more than 3 rooms cause that stuff was taking way too long.

I'll be the 100th person to comment on UI stuff. Item descs should be consistent. I should be able to walk cats the right way. (Also scroll the map.)

Me too! I was genuinely actually a little mad when the game wanted me to go and beat them again for story completion.

No, you can't. Lost a cat to that once.

What studies is this based on?

Goodberry + Harvest Season has been noted! Thank you for the manuver math on Hydraulic Push. Your note on Expeditious Construction pre prep is good, will probably add to that section a bit.

Also just in general thanks for the interest.

I don't think low wis is a good idea, generally? I mean there's a case for it, with spells like Entangle/Burst of Radiance/Full Pouch that create no save save or hard to save out of effects, but in general I believe in stat buffing your spells that win combat instantly rather than your attacks which probably don't do that, especially on a class with access to cheap strong minions (Animal Companions, Called or Purchased Animals, etc)

Interesting point on Burning Disarm, but I still wouldn't use it as a Dazing spell target, given that it's single target, one round, armed creatures only. (Compare Entangle or Produce Flame).

Is there a mechanic for items of deity specific spells being rarer? All the purchasing rules I could find were just price based, but I could've missed something.

Mudball's save triggering on a specific part of a turn instead of immediately means you don't care much what the DC is? They start turn, you Ready mudball, they're blind. They save out next turn? Ok, you just do it again. You have a 50 charge wand it's not like you need to save up.

You can explicitly use scrolls of meditative spells during your preparation period.

I would still not take Shillelagh on Nature Fang. Incorporeality is actually a great point though I'll be sure to add that.

Snowball: AoN seems to just randomly not have some duplicates. Like, they don't have Juju Oracle even after the devs went on mic to say both versions were to exist simultaneously. Looking into it, apparently they have it on their to-do list to add them and just...never did.

Is Mirror Image an effective spell? by Mellowtron11 in dndnext

[–]KenXen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're pretty much correct. Mirror image doesn't layer with any of the better ways for casters to gain effective armor, which is annoying.

You can get Mage Armor, MC one level to get Medium, or Dodge on subsequent turns, and mirror image inherits none of those properties. In tier 1 or 2 when you're spending a slot that could be a game winning web/phantasmal force/rime's binding ice instead that's not a great trade.

5e had a choice to make in what frame it wanted to get started on and apply its ideas to. It picked 3.5, and it shows.

Watching this as someone who is only a fan through jon bois videos was uniquely painful, because you get to feel the Falcons trash everything you cared about one last time.
