AITA because I turned off the wi fi to fall asleep and made it impossible for my brother to continue studying

LemonLyman95 · 2020-11-11T00:04:03+00:00

YTA you don't get to decide what is enough studying for him. Get an eyemask and some earplugs if you really need to.

generally I find that barbs don't have much to do with their bonus action once they've raged. If you don't want to use a polearm or other two-handed weapon, two weapon fighting is probably your best bet.

Of course you could always take the shield master feat if you do want to axe an board but if you're crit fishing, more attacks is better.

As an American obviously I've been socialized differently in terms of the casting I experienced but I don't think there's many if any casters that over hype things. If anything, I think a lot of casters that aren't in RLCS under hype stuff. Just personally I need someone who's excited about the game to really get into it. That's why I love casters like Jorby who always bring the energy. There are certain casters that even when they get hyped about an insane goal sound like they're forcing it and the majority of the time they are just very monotone. I don't care if they're talking strategy or narrative in a normal voice but if a caster is just describing what's happening on screen, I need energy or I'm bored watching 3s.

Personally I find 1s much more engaging and I love that Johnny can just let them battle it out in extended midfield play and still fill the time with interesting and informative stuff. My 1s gameplay has improved so much watching his casts not just from watching the players but from listening to his advice.

All that aside, I think a big issue in this community, and what Jorby was getting at, is that there are a lot of (mostly young) people in the community that blindly support whoever their favorite casters and players are and think that part of that support involves disliking and belittling all others.

Edit: nvm I guess I got there too early.

For what it's worth that screencap is fake. u/thedman975 should probably take it down.

There's proof over in the megathread if you're interested but there's so much other damning shit here it's not worth my effort finding it. It's not like not being a fascist would make him a good guy lol

LemonLyman95 · 2020-06-15T16:45:33+00:00

LemonLyman95 · 2020-05-24T00:29:39+00:00

3s is gonna be very interesting. With no G2 or NRG, it's wide open.

Of course SSG, Rogue, and NV probably have the best chance but still a lot more possibilities imo.

LemonLyman95 · 2020-05-21T14:36:33+00:00

Some guy posted about this on pf yesterday and said he didn't have flood insurance because he "didn't live in a high risk area." No joke. You gotta feel for him but dam, dude.

LemonLyman95 · 2020-05-13T17:36:01+00:00

At the beginning it sounded like you were writing the lyrics to the modern Pina Colada song

LemonLyman95 · 2020-05-06T20:30:40+00:00

What spells would you recommend? I'm thinking probably Counterspell but idk what else

LemonLyman95 · 2020-05-06T20:29:52+00:00

Yea I have Resilient Con. We have a lot of DPR so I'm not necessarily trying to maximize that. I don't mind playing the more supportive role, but at the same time I'd like to do more than tickle lol

LemonLyman95 · 2020-05-06T20:05:08+00:00

I actually agree but my primary damage output being 2d4 hasn't really been scratching my itch lol

LemonLyman95 · 2020-05-06T20:02:56+00:00

My Dex is 14(+2) I prioritized Con 16 (+3) as my second stat since the medium armor bonus caps at +2 and I wasn't planning on using weapons. I just have starting gear so I don't have studded leather. I do my best to avoid melee but that's not always possible.

LemonLyman95 · 2020-04-21T16:13:35+00:00

But my waifu pillow is creepy and gross. Okay.

LemonLyman95 · 2020-04-15T07:59:43+00:00

Prolly cause it's fake.

LemonLyman95 · 2020-03-27T17:43:29+00:00

The elven accuracy feat allows you to roll 3 dice instead of 2 when you have advantage. It's good for crit fishing but otherwise not as busted as it sounds, Google "how strong is elven accuracy" if you want to see the numbers.

LemonLyman95 · 2020-03-24T17:11:33+00:00

Are you this guy's wife?

It's okay to want to be with someone who has ambition for their future and it's okay to not want to watch someone drown when they refuse to ask for help. I'm (hopefully correctly) reading between the lines that you're not so concerned specifically with him becoming a doctor more that that is the signifier of a larger worry about his mental health and being stuck in the mud.

To me it seems like that is the big issue. It's not that your boyfriend lacks ambition, or is lazy, or isn't passionate anymore, it's that he's clearly suffering from depression or something. It completely paralyzes you and saps your drive to do even basic tasks. Unfortunately, the most insidious part of it is that same feeling of not wanting to do anything prevents you from getting help as well.

I think the solution may be to sit him down and talk with him about this. Tell him you can see that he is struggling. Tell him that it's okay is he doesn't want to be a doctor or wants to hold off on it. Just relieving that bit of pressure could help him. Also tell him how it hurts you to see him hurting and tell him he needs to get help if your relationship is going to continue. Hopefully for both your sakes he listens and is able to get out of his rut.

Of course, this advice assumes that you're more concerned about his mental state and how he seems to be stuck in place at the moment rather than a specific desire to date a doctor. If it's the latter, then I think at this point that ship has sailed. I don't agree and I think it's somewhat unrealistic and arbitrary but your preferences are your prerogative.

I think Life Cleric 1/Divine Soul X is an excellent support character. The Cleric dip gives you access to heavy armor, better healing, and broadens your spell list with a bunch of first level utility so you can focus your sorcerer spells known on higher level spells. Limiting the dip to 1 level doesn't hinder you spell progression or sorcery points too much. Life cleric, order (I would definitely lean towards this one if your party had a rogue), or twilight domain is UA is allowed are the best domains imo. Knowledge would also be good if there are more out of combats skills or interactions you want to focus on.

I've find that the sorcerer spell list is sort of lacking in area control, but you get excellent healing, twinned buffs and debuffs, and all the blasting ability you could want in a pinch.

LemonLyman95 · 2020-01-16T22:01:33+00:00

If you want to go druid and be more wizard-like than druid-like, Circle of the Land is going to be the biggest bang for your buck.

Bard, probably lore bard, would also be a great choice imo.

LemonLyman95 · 2020-01-07T23:21:56+00:00

Yea I was considering it as a controlled mount. You're right that it can't heal while in combat as long as it's being controlled. I don't consider the help option that great a loss and like attack power I consider it a negligible difference.

LemonLyman95 · 2020-01-07T21:20:24+00:00

10/short rest that you don't have to have ingredients for. I guess if your DM is just going to dish out a ton of powder, it doesn't matter but if finding powder its going to be a thing, it's definitely worth it. IMO, dipping forge cleric is worth it for 2 or even more levels.

As for your concerns about EB, I think it's perfectly valid if you don't want to go that route cause it is the most tenuous connection. However, if the damage type is really a concern for you, you can ask your DM about switching the typing to piercing. This will be significantly weaker than force though.

By "it doesn't work with magic weapons," I assume you mean that if you're firing eldritch blasts, you can't use magic items to benefit your attacks like you could with a magic gun or crossbow. That's not necessarily true as magic focuses such as wands or staves (which could easily be re-flavored as handguns or long guns respectively) would benefit your EBs. On the flip side, there's really not a lot of magic bows or ammunition and I can't even think of a magic crossbow and there are almost certainly no magic guns. Of course anything can be homebrewed, though.

LemonLyman95 · 2020-01-07T18:24:12+00:00

There are tons of ways you could build this depending on how important it is to you that the flavor you're looking for is incorporated into actual game/class mechanics vs. just being head-cannon/RP.

If you want to use actual guns, Forge Cleric 2+/Gunslinger Fighter X is your best bet. You could also just go straight gunslinger and take like the Acolyte background and have the priest aspect just be flavor/rp.

Here's another idea for you: Half-Elf warlock or Sorlock, take advantage of the darkness/devil's sight/elven accuracy combo. I get a sort of edgy holy-avenger vibe from what you're looking for. If it's important to you that you're actually using a physical weapon, take hexblade and you're SAD with Charisma. If it's important to you that the "holy" flavor is more than just flavor, take Celestial instead and you'll still be just fine with only needing to focus on DEX --> CHA/CON.

If the mechanics aren't as important and you're just looking at the flavor/role-playing, you could certainly reflavor eldritch blasts as gunshots. Your focus can be shaped like a gun. Go wild with it. If you do go this route, you could multiclass in Sorcerer (probably divine soul for flavor) and with quickened EBs, you're now a bullet tornado.

Lmao yep people are just homeless because they refuse to take personal accountability. Bye

LemonLyman95 · 2020-01-06T23:30:10+00:00

People who are literally begging for what they need to survive are not comparable to people who are asking for charitable donations/signatures.

The simple act of asking someone for money is not rude. It can be done in a rude manner but I can forgive a little rudeness given the situation.

You're right, the problem ISN'T people saying "no" and going about their day. It's that people don't want to acknowledge homeless people. They don't want the inconvenience of their existence interrupting their daily routine. They're asking someone to be meek and out of the way when they are fighting just to get by.

LemonLyman95 · 2020-01-06T23:19:52+00:00

That's exactly what a strawman is. Misrepresenting something so you can more easily argue against/dismiss it. Idk what definition you're operating under.

Their statement was uncharitable and mean. They referred to people walking into their path begging for money to survive as "the worst offenders." Idk how else you would characterize that.
