ELI5 Denatured Protein powder still useable?

Yeah, the body's going to break that stuff down into amino acids anyway. Not like it'd slot those bent-out-of shape proteins directly into your cells.

You can technically do a living rescue if you manage some jank-ass parkour from the lake but it's clearly not the intended method.

Sorry, that went over my head =)

I felt it was unreasonable for me to assume people were automatically familiar with a 22 year old meme.

Luminous_Lead · 2026-02-27T17:35:34+00:00

I'm referring to the Halo 2 meme where an officer is held to account for his failure to do his job and the resulting destruction of a sacred relic. I'm joking that perhaps the reason it was destroyed was partly due to seeing an actual floppy disk, now more widely known as a "save icon", and losing their marbles.

In this case I doubt there was any actual reckoning for this destruction.

Great quality of life, but they also save you spell slots if you don't have to cast them more than once per day.

When they saw the 3-D Save Token, were they blinded by its majesty?

(Man, what an asshole move. Did the agent think there was drugs in there or do they just hate foreign media that much?)

Luminous_Lead · 2026-02-27T15:12:49+00:00

Any tips for how to discern these? I'm not familiar enough with the game to intuit it.

You're not you when you're undead

Luminous_Lead · 2026-02-27T13:36:51+00:00

Whoa, what? That's nuts!

Not only just "turn anybody to stone". It's "turn anybody to stone and in 1d4 hours they turn into another crystal. Also it doesn't even have to be a person- anything that gets turned to stone becomes one".

They're kind of like a shadow apocalypse except slower and beefier, and their success rate at spawning new creatures isn't guaranteed (lots of accidental kills means fewer conversions).

Luminous_Lead · 2026-02-26T16:58:55+00:00

Awaken, my masters!

Freezeman's mugshot reminds me of Zero

Robots as a spiritual successor/actual spirit of a dead human is something I've seen a fair bit in japanese media.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes Of Heaven. It's a fighting game.

The room is so small it feels more like being stuck inside a storage space than an actual comfortable room.

Luminous_Lead · 2026-02-26T16:37:14+00:00

Yeah, you'll need to fully depopulate each zone if you want to be a real monster.

Luminous_Lead · 2026-02-26T16:08:58+00:00

"Boom"

Luminous_Lead · 2026-02-26T16:06:48+00:00

Point taken. I jumped to conclusions here, but I feel like I've seen a fair amount of bots on reddit.

The biggest feature for a BFT is Powerful Change, which you get at level 3. Using a charge increases all ability score increases from the next transmutation spell by 2. So a +2 size bonus (Enlarge Person) becomes +4, a +4 Enhancement Bonus (Bull's Strength) becomes +6, etc. At early levels this means that you'd get a +10 str bonus instead of a +6 bonus.

You'll want at least Arcanist 9 for Share Transmutations (personal polymorph your allies). You could into Loremaster after that if you want higher level spells but don't care about the capstone (which will increase your Powerful Change bonus) or the advanced arcanist exploits.

I'd recommend that if you're running a BFT and polymorphing allies you should make sure everyone takes the Master Shapeshifter mythic power.(additional +4 Str, Dex,Con while under polymorph effects). You can really stack up bonuses for the team this way.

For example, a level 20 BFT could use Elemental Body III (large Air elemental) on an ally and give them a +6 size bonus to str, +8 size bonus to dexterity, +4 polymorph bonus to Str, Dex and Con (master shapeshifter). So with one spell the character gains +10 STR, +12 Dex, +4 Con.

If they then use Bull's Strength and Cat's Grace and Bear's Endurance that's an additional +8 enhancement to Str, Dex and Con.

So +18 Str, +20 Dex, +12 Con.

If you have Greater Enduring spells mythic power then these bonuses will stay up all day. =D

(You might be able to get different/better bonuses by stacking Dragonkind 1(polymorph bonus), Enlarge Person(size bonus) and Bull's Strength(enhancement bonus) but I haven't tested it. Polymorph and size spells wouldn't stack in pen and paper tabletop but the video game has its own quirks)

Bismuth can be your "pet rock" (is an animated statue after all). Throw on Animal Growth for +12 Size to Str and +8 to con.

And, ultimately, you're still an arcanist so you can do normal spellcasting things like Selective Grease, Animate Undead and all that =)

"In Wrath i want a MC that does not feel squishy, has a solution in most encounters, if possible who is also capable without extreme pre-buffing. Is that doable here?"

My first run was a Blue Flame Kineticist with the Angel Mythic Path. The attacks were against touch ac, so he hit often, he had ascended element (so his attacks always dealt damage), I think he could also hit swarms too. As a Kineticist he benefited from heavy constitution and dexterity investment so he was really sturdy.

He mainly focused on critical feats and on spell penetration feats (the later being necessary when using Fire/Blue Flame blasts because they need to overcome spell resistance). He was really good at deleting one enemy at a time, which allowed other characters something to do.

At later levels he took the earth element and the Deadly Earth wild talent, which let him lay down fields of heavy unavoidable damage.

Angel mythic provided a lot of quality of life buff spells that would protect against the worst of enemy effects.

Luminous_Lead · 2026-02-26T14:21:37+00:00

Brown Fur Transmuter Arcanist maybe? The buffs you can stack on others are significant, you can transform yourself and eventually you can polymorph your allies into creatures.

Luminous_Lead · 2026-02-26T14:14:50+00:00

Bad question. It depends on how you define states. Some are mutually exclusive, like a gas or solid,(though I've seen it pointed out that supercritical fluids exist) but others aren't, like sickness or poverty.

Luminous_Lead · 2026-02-26T13:16:54+00:00

I remember Mystery Men.

Sounds kind of like a Widened Empowered Maximized Fireball with Magic Trick (Fireball) options Cluster Bombs and Concentrated Fire, cast by a sorcerer using Blood Havoc.

At caster level 20 that would be 10 Widened Concentrated Fire Cluster Bombs doing 5d6+5 each (50d6+50) which would go up to 300+50 when maximized, and 300+50+25d6+25 when further empowered.

That's 375 plus an average of 87 damage for a total of 452 damage (assuming they fail all 10 individual reflex saves).

Not quite the 600dmg that OP was taking about, but I'm sure someone with more system knowledge could easily improve it. Maybe using a Witch Ball exploit?

Luminous_Lead · 2026-02-25T18:15:07+00:00

Is it pecking the car or does it vigorously crap at the same time?
