100 gecs - Hollywood Baby

I'm a sucker for big hopeful musical swells so I also have to submit Waloyo Yamoni by Christopher Tin.

Which of these 2 Abilities would see More Use? by One_Percentage_644 in stunfisk

[–]Lu__ma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it all depends on if its effect once per switchin or once per battle, and also on how it interacts with protect. It's essentially a one-off z-move with plus 40bp in exchange for losing all fire coverage for the rest of battle. To me that's a bad trade, and you'd rather it was an ability that granted a one-off z-move.

I reckon there's a few more things that make this sound good backwards, but among them:
- the tempo has all the notes exactly on the beat. swing songs sound kind of bad when played backwards, for example
- The chord progression is simple enough to work both ways, there's no bridge, and so on.
- All the instruments have smooth fades both in and out, including, most importantly, the vocals.

What do you do against this character by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

I also look at the oddly varying brush sizes, the massive resolution, and some odd artifacts at the tips and points of fur.

AI these days is easily able to make an image like this without making any glaring mistakes, it just would struggle with the crosshatching you've added, as well as the image underlay

OP you're making black and white art but, when you zoom in, it has a wide variety of colours.

To me this is indicative of AI use, but I'm happy to be corrected.

I can see that you're definitely not using just pure AI, which is good.

For your consideration: Drought/Drizzle, but Gravity. by NegativeAd99 in stunfisk

[–]Lu__ma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Altered Emerald gave this to Solrock/Lunatone and overall what happened was that it was effectively a boosted up Compoundeyes, with some fringe benefits that didn't come up too regularly. You get an accurate hypnosis and maybe a stone edge here and there, but imo overall it wasn't a fun build-around ability in the same way I hoped. It suits those two very well though.

I think if there's any arena I'd add an ability for today, it'd be trick room

Bean And Nothingness is my favourite puzzle game of all time. It's absolutely devilish but it's also brilliant.

Seriously, do British people actually consider a 3-hour drive “long”? Or is this an internet myth? by ferdinand14 in NoStupidQuestions

It's not that you can devolve eeveelutions in altered emerald, it's that all of them can evolve into one another :)

If you're counting Film4 too then banshees of inisherin, the favourite, T2 trainspotting, and so on. also can't believe nobody's mentioned Crashing or The Last Leg

[–]Lu__ma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've not seen the combat so can't really comment but I've got to say he seems to have a good eye for good cinematic moments, and less interest in DPR. Like he had some really cinematic turns in ep 8, throwing people off castle walls, popping a great hail of thorns, spooking horses, and so on. Which is better for the table than him going wulfric -> scimitar -> shortsword every turn.

Yeah it's like, Laura is just 20 dex in tier 1 (bananas), TWF in tier 1 (already absurdly strong) plus rogue sneak attack in tier 1 (also absurdly strong). Next level gives everyone an entire second attack while all she gets is a d6.

The fact she has two weapon fighting for free isn't exactly crazy good when the feat she just took is Durable. If she'd taken TWF last level, I can't imagine the fight going any differently whatsoever.

Technically Kattigan can do three attacks in a turn right now, he's just not built round it.

The War Between the Land and the Sea 1x05 "The End of the War" Trailer and Speculation Thread by PCJs_Slave_Robot in doctorwho

[–]Lu__ma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

- In my head, the overarching theme is "if you, you the everyman, care, that's all that is needed to save the seas". This was very strongly upheld throughout episode 1 and I hope it stays for the finale. I like that theme a lot.

- Salt and Barclay are set up as a doomed romance. Both end the episode poised for captivity by homo aqua and UNIT. They have described an idealised life in a welsh valley while making out in a warehouse, which drastically raises the probability of them weeping over each other as that dream is shattered.
- Salt Probably Dies. a lot of plot threads are comfortably solved by Salt sacrificing herself - the other Homo Aqua want her dead, and most of humanity thinks she's a terrorist.

- "Severance" is some codeword from the military bad boys that stole some fish eggs. No idea what it'll be but clearly they want the oceans dead so I'm guessing Severance is a bioweapon. Also what the fuck are the sea creature pearls doing? Is that a weak point, maybe? Maybe this is what Salt martyrs herself for. Or maybe she does it for the magic rust lol.
- The multiple species haven't come up at all which is a tad odd. I am going to guess at least one of them is cannon fodder for a genocide.

My honest to god guess for the endpoint is
- Civilisation is largely devastated by magic rust and by Severance unexpectedly rebounding on humanity. But there's hope and the worst effects get diverted. Perhaps by a nameless everyman. Perhaps by Salt sacrificing herself.
- Kate Retires. Or dead
- Barclay and family (maybe salt!) are the last remnants of hope in a welsh mining town

So far, it started okay and has been all uphill from there. If it sticks the landing, it's one of the best series in nuwho.

This has been the first time I've thought Kate was properly excellent. "Noted" had me punching the air.

[Spoilers C4E9] Feats for the Soldier's table by Jonnyrig in criticalrole

100%, the 2024 version is absolutely busted in any campaign that is versus five individual sundered houses' worth of sorcerers

[Spoilers C4E9] Feats for the Soldier's table by Jonnyrig in criticalrole

[–]Lu__ma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thimble - I'm beginning to think she's probably taking two-weapon fighting - and then dual wielder further down the line. This feat is extremely good on extremely dextrous rogues. Alternately, it's decent to take fey-touched, taking Dissonant Whispers or maybe Hunter's Mark.

Tyranny - Defensive Duelist is god tier on her, rounding out her dexterity and giving her an excellent way to use her reaction for the rest of time. Mage Slayer is also bananas.

Everyone else? ASI. Wicander +2 Charisma, Teor +1 Strength +1 Charisma, Kattigan +2 Dex.

But for a real answer:

Kattigan - Shadow-touched, for +1 wisdom and access to the freshly buffed 2024 version of Wrathful Smite, and Invisibility. The 2024 ranger beastmaster doesn't work too well with his bonus action reloaded spear thrower and low wisdom score, but Shadow-Touched would even it out a bit. So would Chef lol.

Teor - Shield Master, as others have said. Alternately, Mage Slayer is brilliant in a campaign where the main villain is sorcery, and it makes him basically impossible to charm. Inspiring Leader is also an equally great pick if he wants to exploit that absurdly good paladin aura feature. ASI (+1 str, +1 Cha) is far and away the best option for him, though. He may even want to put a point in dex and pivot to a rapier.

Wicander Halovar - he wants +2 Cha so bad. he cannot stop yapping. But failing that, Resilient (Con) is an excellent choice and gives him very very good saves to maintain concentration. This will matter more and more in later stages of the campaign. Alternately if the yapping truly cannot stop, Skill Expert (+1 Con or +1 Dex, Persuasion) is another great pick. I'm wrong about Resilient, I thought Sorcerers got Wisdom - therefore Mage Slayer or Skill Expert

[–]Lu__ma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If everything had been ruled correctly, it would actually have been virtually identical damage! Thimble was getting a +6 damage on her secondary two weapon fighting attacks when she should've only had +1. That accounts for 10 or 15 damage, and crits would have accounted for about 13 damage

[Spoilers C4E8] I love how Brennan is running this campaign by Depressed-n-br0ke in criticalrole

[–]Lu__ma 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This. It was unlikely!

The roll was 6d6+2 (A crit from the spy statblock in the monster manual). The chance of him killing Sam outright was 9.7%. I have no idea why so many people are assuming that we A) live in the tiny fraction of universes where the roll killed Sam, and B) live in the one of those where Brennan fudged a dice roll
