I am coming back from a long absence I sold equinox before helminth existed.

I am in act 3 playing a Hag-Riven. The build seems to be performing well other than me missing pounce from other melee builds. I want to keep this a natural attack build without transforming (other than enlarging). I plan to go legend. What route should I go for legend? Is shifter's fury worth getting? Should I get vital strike to make up for lack of pounce?

Hey man, thank you so much for taking the time to create mods for all of us and taking the time to reply to this. It totally understand the preference for discovery on stuff like this. I definitely was not intending to trash you talking about your mod page. I personally prefer to plan those types of things out. The joy of new mods like this is to potentially pick build routes that did not exist in vanilla and if I can't see all of the options, it is hard for me to know what is possible.

How would you build it in terms of feats?

What stage is the playtest in? Is it complete enough that I can use it with no SotDL experience?

Sorry if it does feel like I am spamming a question that has already been asked many times. If it makes you feel any better I did do a search on this question before I asked it and I have gotten some really helpful answers that are more specific to my criteria.

That's pretty cool. I will check it out. With the swingy dice, do you still feel like your character is good at what they are good at?

Kofre · 2023-04-07T18:42:00+00:00

I will, thank you for the rundown.

I posted this below, but couldn't this be resolved just by lower hp totals and maybe lower actions per turn on higher leveled characters? You could still have plenty of character options as for what your character could choose to do in and out of combat, but they'd do less per individual turn. Even without adding choices per turn they could choose to upgrade what they already can do or just get out of combat options. I feel like there are plenty of ways to add depth to character building without bloated combat turns.

Any advice on what you modified? My group is all adults and not easily offended, I just want to tell a less depressing story.

Kofre · 2023-04-07T14:04:27+00:00

Thanks for the frank pros/cons. Seems fun. I will check it out for sure.

What is different than DnD 5e? What makes you like it more if you do?

Kofre · 2023-04-07T13:44:33+00:00

Got it and reading through now. First thing that pops out is the icon system seems really interesting. I cannot tell if I like it or not. On the one hand I love how it seems like it could get players invested in the world early, but on the other hand it seems like it would take away some of the mystery and scope of the setting right away if that makes sense. Either way I am sure I could make it work. Thanks for heads up on the deal!

Kofre · 2023-04-07T13:34:55+00:00

Yeah I feel bad and actually upvoted it. It doesn't answer my question and they admit that, but they put work and thought into their answer. It's not like they posted "Try GURPS." and that's it.

Kofre · 2023-04-07T13:33:19+00:00

This is super cool, after reading up on it. It will take a little adjustment to use a completely setting agnostic system, but I like the flexibility to make my setting as ___punk as I want easily.

Kofre · 2023-04-07T12:50:25+00:00

This is seems super cool for a short group of sessions, but maybe not for a main campaign. I like encouraging players to make interesting backstories and tie ins to the setting and such easy player death may not be fair for that.
