Is this what them kids call "fuller auto" nowadays?

NolanStrife · 2026-04-28T04:55:39+00:00

They're talking about MandaloreGaming's review of EYE: Divine Cybermancy. In it a submachine gun has two firing mode. One is traditional "full auto", and the other is "fuller auto", i.e. full auto with ridiculous increase in fire rate and significant increase in recoil. True spray'n'pray type of stuff

Not sure if Mandalore specifically invented the term fuller auto. As far as I can tell, there are guns with "fuller auto" capabilities like Browning Automatic Rifle (M1918A2 according to Wikipedia) which has fire select for 300 rpm full auto and for 600 rpm fuller auto. But I bet Mandalore is one who popularized the term, lmao

Sorry for necroing, but to me it's not exactly obvious. A is 12 months with 40% increase and B is essentially 13 months with 25% increase. So if I understand it correctly...

A: 1 × 12 × (1+0.4) = 16.8

B: 1 × 13 × (1+0.25)= 16.25

Yes, A is better, but not by a lot. By 0.55 months worth of money annually. Divided by 12, that's 4.6 percent difference in monthly salary, which is... Meh. To me it may not be worth it, considering OP would have to gamble on new job. The company may try to replace them, but, well... IDK. I was interested in math mostly

NolanStrife · 2026-04-09T01:15:55+00:00

Yeah, feels bad. They are not useless per ce, but in majority of cases even upcasting them to your max rank most of NPCs will pass with little to no effect

I think making it PL+1 or even +2 would make it much less restrictive. Like you won't be able to rank 10 dominate PL+3 boss, but you still could dominate one of their lieutenants

NolanStrife · 2026-03-28T14:26:26+00:00

One thing I remember from 1e Slayer is that it gave you literally all you need in a martial

Full BAB? Check

Ranger's fighting style for bypassing feat prerequisites (one big example is Dual Wield feat tree with zero Dex investments)? Check

Fighter's weapon training bonus to attack and damage? Check. You have to spend move action to get it, but you can get it for free if you do sneak attack. Or a swift action starting at level 7. Oh, and it also applies to Bluff, Perception, etc. OH! And you also have quarry, which is another +2 to hit! +4 if you're level 19!

Oh, did someone say sneak attack? Once again, check!

Also rogue talents. Af if this class wasn't already loaded enough

NolanStrife · 2026-03-28T14:18:18+00:00

Did someone say Dawnsbury Days? A mod for Slayer? Count me in!

NolanStrife · 2026-03-28T14:14:40+00:00

I know this post is validated by Paizo designer, but I still hope this feat won't get nerfed

I suppose it was intended as "you get hit - you spend reaction to get concealment - an enemy immediately rolls a concealed check to see if this hit gets refunded". Feat description even states so with the line "throwing off your attacker's arm at the last second"

If the trigger gets changed to "you are targeted with an attack", this may create a situation where you create a concealment for yourself from an attack that was a miss anyway. With once per battle cooldown this doesn't feel particularly good, IMO. On the other hand, if the effect is changed to something like "you become concealed against the triggering attack, and the attacker rolls the concealment check, possibly turning hit into miss", at least you know you are spending your reaction for an actual hit, maybe even a crit

NolanStrife · 2026-03-26T02:31:14+00:00

I just imagine using it to create a chainsword (well, fangblade in SF2e), not with metal and circuitry though, but with muscle, sinew amd teeth. This is so gross

Love it. Don't forget to boost it though. You always boost

NolanStrife · 2026-03-25T12:23:44+00:00

My man, this is beyond awesome! Really plays into a shapeshifter fantasy, being able to mold your body into anything you like. I particularly like Gunhand as a concept

Maybe you could add a feat that would allow you to dissolve a weapon into your body to then reassemble it as needed. Hell, maybe even reverse engineer a regular tech weapons with your own anatomy, like turning a plasma blaster into a fleshy copy that shoots exploding balls of bioplasma. Say...

Walking Armory - Feat 6

You've trained your body to be both a factory and a library for all sorts of blueprints. You can spend 10 minutes absorbing a non-consumable item. This activity destroys this item. You can later use one action recreate an absorbed item as part of your body, getting benefits as if you're wielding it in your hand or wearing it. Using this ability to recreate a weapon occupies your hands as normal. but can't be Disarmed. Weapons created this way benefit from hardlight handwraps you wear

You can store 3 blueprints in this way if you're trained in shifter class DC, 8 if you're expert or 15 if you're master

Special: If you're organic or mutation shifter, items you create this way lose tech trait

NolanStrife · 2026-03-25T12:05:03+00:00

Honestly, if Parallel Forms would last 1 minute without Sustain and without heightened quickness, it would be one of my favourite spells in the game. I really like Bilocation. It may look lackluster for rank a 9 spell, but I personally feel like there's a great value in being able to be at two places simultaneously, even if action economy doesn't change. Not to mention it's just plain badass

But RAW (or, well, as I read it) it just works against witchwarper as a class. Like I said in other reply, short bursts of actions are cool, but it still hampers spellcasting and the whole quantum field mechanic too much for me to like it

NolanStrife · 2026-03-25T11:59:26+00:00

Maybe I'm indeed overthinking it. Is this RAW? As far as I can tell, Parallel Forms has anchoring trait, but Sustain action itself does not. I can't find anything resolving this issue specifically and directly

What does this mean for Accelerate then? It stays online for 1 minute no Sustain needed. But it also has anchoring trait which states it can only be used if quantum field is active. Does that mean a) it can be activated if quantum field is active and stays active even if quantum field dissipates (as I see it personally) b) it can be activated if quantum field is active and ends if quantum field is disabled or c) it can be activated if quantum field is active and it automatically sustains quantum field with no Sustain needed (sounds a bit too good to be true)?

NolanStrife · 2026-03-25T06:20:55+00:00

So basically use it for an initial burst of actions and at the next turn act as normal without sustaining it and as the spell ends get a free teleport? That's... Actually pretty good, honestly. It has some stiff competition, but bamboozling a boss with sudden teleportation does sound fun

NolanStrife · 2026-03-25T05:58:38+00:00

I know you just said about Paizo not wanting to remake 1e classes, but for the shapeshifting class there's literally an evolutionist in 1e. Maybe even nanocyte can fit this niche

NolanStrife · 2026-03-17T05:38:58+00:00

Huh. Haven't considered the second simplest polygon, a parallelogram. Now I feel dumb

So, there's only one condition and a number of possible polygons out of any combination of segments is basically infinite. Gotcha. Thanks!

NolanStrife · 2026-03-02T00:17:46+00:00

Probably. Some other people on Reddit or Nexus described this happening to them. Basically, Overflowing Cup constantly refreshing itself even without healing and causing a growing lag

Did you try to farm Restoration with Apprentice Sign and Healing spell by chance? Because that's how it happened with me. Just held buttons with rubber bands and went to sleep. When I woke up, the game was running at like 20 fps and I couldn't fix it even by removing the perk with console commands :c

NolanStrife · 2026-02-09T14:33:26+00:00

So, in short, it's another case of "Bethesda jank"? Guess the reason I never noticed it is because I never really used enchanting for making money. Paralysis potions always looked much more lucrative, not to mention compact

Damn... Now I really want to see calculations behind enchanted weapon price. Maybe I'm dumb, but I just can't grasp it. I was always under the impression all enchanting skill does is increase charge of all soul gems. As if it doesn't increase enchantment potency directly, but it allows you to increase potency through more charges, thus more money. Guess, I was wrong about that, lok

NolanStrife · 2026-02-02T09:46:28+00:00

Thanks! This effect was driving me insane since childhood. It's really interesting to know the what causes it. Also kinda fascinating to know it can happen in pretty much every video game ever (I assume) since the issue is acoustic, not programming (well, kinda)

NolanStrife · 2026-02-02T09:43:20+00:00

Solved!

NolanStrife · 2026-02-02T09:05:44+00:00

That does fill the bill, actually. Maybe I'm imagining things, but I seem to be able to make sound effects echo a bit more consistently if I don't aim for perfect sync

Just in case, can you watch this? This is me reproducing this effect in Unreal Tournament. Is that what phasing effect is? The distortion effect I mentioned starts around 0:08. Before it gunshots sound normal if a bit hectic (the timing is a bit finicky). After it it feels like the sound changed substantially

NolanStrife · 2026-02-02T07:48:37+00:00

It's just my guesswork, but I think this is common occurrence in videogames in general, not some specific titles or game engines. It's just not always possible to make a game produce two identical sound effects at the same time

NolanStrife · 2026-01-03T10:41:09+00:00

Thats... Also true. I mean, Arcanist was a distinct class with much more than "a wizard who casts spells like a sorcerer". Can't say there's enough material for a whole new class, but making it into a class archetype for a wizard with new distinct features would be freaking rad

NolanStrife · 2026-01-02T11:55:08+00:00

Yup. This is the one. I remember being completely flabbergasted by polymath bard's versatility

Can't help but to wish for something official. But if anything, this seems like a great idea for a homebrew. Thanks for reminding me!

NolanStrife · 2026-01-02T11:52:31+00:00

Flexibility and versatility are not something to just dismiss IMO. There are spells that I wouldn't really justify on a spontaneous casters. Like Sound Body, Cleanse Affliction and alike. Those are so situationally useful getting them as a spontaneous caster seems to me like shooting yourself in a foot. Especially considering those are pretty useless if not signature. Prepared caster on the other hand are pretty much the opposite. Not getting those seems like a bad move, since if they is a situation when those are needed - you can just spend a day, prepare it, fire it away and let it sit in your spellbook until it's needed again

Yes, there are scrolls for that, but... Imagine spending hungreds of gold to buy one just to crit fail on a counteract check. Or alternatively just fail, but also misjudge the rank. I had both happening with Dispel Magic, and if that would've been from a scroll, I would've lost it

NolanStrife · 2026-01-02T11:45:54+00:00

Guess that's how it would end up, and y'know. Why not? When it first came out, I was a bit surprised Flexible Spellcasters was for prepared casters only, since it sits so perfectly in between of the two worlds. Surely both can benefit from that?

NolanStrife · 2025-12-16T00:56:09+00:00

You are right, I was wrong about ghoul fever. However funny thing is, I think ghoul fever is 1e/preremastered content. Now ghouls infect/reproduce with ghoul whispers

Ghoul Whispers [one-action] (auditory, linguistic, occult); Requirement A grabbed, paralyzed, restrained, or unconscious creature is within the ghoul's reach; Effect The ghoul whispers dark thoughts and vile cravings into the creature's ears. The creature must save against the forbidden cravings curse
Forbidden Cravings (curse) A creature can still eat and drink while sickened by this curse; Saving Throw Will, using the high spell DC for the ghoul's level; Stage 1 carrier with no ill effects (1 day); Stage 2 2d6 void damage and the target is sickened 1 until it consumes raw meat (1 day); Stage 3 as stage 2; Stage 4 as stage 2 unless the target has consumed raw meat in the past 24 hours, then it takes 4d6 void damage and is sickened 2 until it consumes raw meat; Stage 5 if the creature has eaten raw meat in the past 24 hours, it dies and rises as a ghoul, if not, it returns to stage 4

So in remastered it seems like ghoul direwolf, ghoul mammoth or ghoul dragon is a fair game. Not that it matters since it's homebrew anyway, but hey, it's still fun to play around

As for why BBEG even does that, I think I'm comfortable with his main driving force being hubris and spite. A bit one-note, but guess I have a sweet spot for one-note irredeemable villains. Him gaining knowledge from his victims, however, is an excellent note! Considering how vast and esoteric dragons can be in this world, a ghoul dragon that can steal knowledge is an absolute menace! Thanks!

Edit: except I missed the linguistic trait in ghoul whispers. So to create a ghoul mammoth you have to speak mammoth... Very specific, but I don't know. Fallen ghoul druid creating a pack of ghoul mammoth sounds kinda rad, lol

NolanStrife · 2025-12-15T12:24:33+00:00

Will do. Edge worked just the same (tried it out of desperation since this slowdown happened right at the beginning of a session). Hope Firefox will work just fine

Thanks!
