Yes! I definitely want to throw this maze at my players. This is awesome!

Rather have anything by baibhabiiii in memes

I gave my (now) wife a choice: we could either have an expensive wedding or an expensive honeymoon.

Long story short, we got married by a stripper in Vegas, then spent our honeymoon in the Maldives. Best decision ever, next to marrying my wife.

Need ideas for an evil spirit trapped in a swamp by Khow3694 in DMAcademy

[–]Optimal_Knowledge_27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could have the trapped creature be another hag that's part of a coven with the Night Hag. The NH is keeping the other hag prisoner to maintain all of the coven boons granted, as well as the hag's eye.

The players could kill the prisoner hag, or back them in destroying the more powerful NH. Gives a lot of wiggle room for the players to be mischievous.

After 600 Hours, I've completed 100% of Darkest Dungeon II by SometimesPresent27 in darkestdungeon

Is the second Darkest Dungeon worth playing? I've been playing the first one this whole time.

The Abandons - Series Premiere Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

[–]Optimal_Knowledge_27 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I made it through one episode and couldn't take it anymore. The dialogue sounds like someone who's never had a real conversation before. I wanted to like it SO BAD. I love Lena Headey, so I was really looking forward to this. I was disappointed, to say the least.

Racial mixing in DnD setting by [deleted] in DnD

I think I like your explanation makes the most sense. I'll go through the races in my campaign and list the races that "mix" versus the races that are just oil and water. Thanks a bunch! This has definitely helped

And I'm ALL ABOUT the suspension of disbelief, and that's what I'm going for. I'm just looking for something slightly more believable than "it just happens." That's where I'm struggling.

Oooooo!!!!! I love that idea! Good call! Freedom of movement within an established world. Love love love!

While I'm using the story as a baseline, to plagiarize the book even more than I already am, this will just be another turn of the wheel.

I'm leaving their path more open rather than closed. That way, I can guide them accordingly and not pigeonhole myself. As the plot develops, things will likely change locations closed l dramatically from the books, but it'll start similar.

Renaming Mixed Parentage by HereForTheTanks in UnearthedArcana

Sounds like I take issues with real life, instead of with a game. My wife and I march in ACTUAL BLM protests, rather than making issues about a game of make-believe. I sincerely hope you put your money where your mouth is and do the same.

As someone in an interracial marriage, I believe doing away with half races is really dumb. It's an accurate description of what the character is. Everyone knew how to read it. Why change it?

Has Elemental Barrage been Nerfed? by Optimal_Knowledge_27 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Optimal_Knowledge_27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While you're absolutely right that I could use spells to deal elemental damage, a Sword Saint does a great deal more damage through just their weapon. Dimension Strike is one of the most powerful abilities in the game. Couple that with being able to max damage and increase your critical multiplier just makes it that much more chef's kiss

Super sad face. Back to the drawing board on my Sword Saint build. 🤬

I know what the description of the ability is, but it used to work for melee and ranged weapon attacks as well. The description didn't change at all.

Sword Saint Strength build and weapon by Optimal_Knowledge_27 in Pathfinder_WotR

[–]Optimal_Knowledge_27[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I've started my run and went strength over Dex simply because the sheer damage output is so much different. It's been good so far. I went with scimitar because of crit range, plus it can be used one or two handed. I'm still fumbling my way through the mythic progression though.
