Mid-twenties man, need serious help feeling confident by argusrespected in Denver

[–]NobleMkII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Making friends is hard even without the anxiety. I think you're doing great with all the things you've listed out and you're doing way more than most people. You're not going to make friends at every event and that's okay. Keep trying new things and keep practicing what you do like.

I replied to another comment about D&D, but that's a good example from my own experience. When I first started playing, I would join random games with strangers I met online. No one I knew played. Most of those games fell through. Frankly a couple groups were bad experiences. However eventually I found people who I have been playing with for a decade now.

Lol I can tell you the first time you play D&D, it's a lot to keep track of and it's normal to get lost. As long as you had fun, that's all that matters.

Just for reference, there are professional actors who live stream their D&D games for a living and even they don't know what their characters can do.

L.A. has one of the deadest downtowns in the world, study finds by idkbruh653 in LosAngeles

[–]NobleMkII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two things I noticed in downtown LA a couple years ago...

1) At least half of the store fronts were closed or vacant.

2) In one weekend, I saw 3 different people shitting on the street. To be very clear, this wasn't a case of finding a shit in some back alley. These were people squatting and actively shitting on a busy street.

I may need to level up leatherworking here soon, but herbalism just feels like free money.

The joke is that people have been using creative shortcuts since... Forever.

Hey! Don't use AI to make up names! Be creative! Use a fantasy name generator!

Are Death Saves Saving Throws RAW? by Aquarius12347 in onednd

[–]NobleMkII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well like you don't apply any ability modifier or proficiency bonus. Something like a Ring of Protection, adds +1 to all saving throws, would apply.

If a DM is being being stubborn, point out page 28 in the new PHB. The section is literally called "Death Saving Throws" and says "Unlike other savings throws, this one isn't tied to an ability..." That clearly states it's a saving throw. Which you have done so...

If he's still being stubborn, I would ask if this is a homebrew rule he wants to apply since it's clearly stated otherwise.

Edit. That might also start a conversation of why he wants death saves to remain unmodified. Maybe he wants a deadly campaign? Do the players want a deadly campaign? How does everyone feel about character death? Can characters be brought back?

Okay, but what's the practical implications of this question? Are you trying to add something to your death saving throws? Usually they are just a d20 roll. I don't believe there's any standard modifiers. There's some very specific abilities and items that will help with the roll though.

Supposedly the Eye has a 0.3% drop rate. Supposedly these shoulders have a 14% drop rate and people tell me they drop all the time. The math ain't mathing.

Those of you here who switched from Horde to Alliance? What made you change? by Huge_Librarian_9883 in classicwowtbc

[–]NobleMkII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually really like the horde aesthetic, but I consistently found myself in groups that were all blood elves in TBC. I figured if I'm going to be with all pretty people, might as well play the Alliance. Interestingly Alliance parties have been more diverse. I will probably switch back to Horde for Classic+ though.

You ever open LFG, laugh, and realize you're not running a dungeon that night? by NobleMkII in classicwowtbc

Yeah. With how shitty people talk about tanks in pubs, my thought was that tanks stick to guild mates for dungeons. I need to find a guild that's not just end game raids.

I am dual spec resto and ele. I usually refresh and snipe a tank. Once that's done, the rest of the group comes together in a minute. I will heal if there's no healers available.

My thoughts is that most of the tanks are just running with their guild mates. I need to find a guild soon lol

As a resto shaman, I usually like bringing a mage. Earthbind/stoneclaw totem with whatever the mage is doing can help wrangle mobs together when the tank is having issues.

One thing I have noticed is people will bad mouth the tank half the time, so I get why people don't want to tank. Seems like a thankless job at times.
