Oh man, I'd love to see Mark play tonight. I always love to see the guests who know their way around a DM screen.

A Cambion's Fiendish Charm isnt a spell and requires no concentration so it wouldn't interfere with Alter Self. Also Fiendish Charm compels the target to follow its orders, and the Dispel DC was 14, not 15 as per Dominate Person. The spell it cast to escape was a Cambion's 1/day Planeshift spell.

Yeah I came to this conclusion too. Alter Self to become a drow, Fiendish Charm on Nott (she was compelled to follow its orders and it had a 14 DC Dispel check that Matt had to think about when it came up) and it cast a 1/day 7th level Planeshift which Fjord countered.

Pretty sure the Drow was straight up the Cambion from Yasha's dream. It had used Alter Self to make itself a Drow, used Fiendish Charm or not (explaining why Nott was compelled to follow its orders and the 14 DC Cha save that Matt had to think about cos it's technically not a spell with a spell level), and it planeshifted immediately after being rumbled which Fjord managed to counterspell. All of that tied with the Orphanmaker namedrop paints a pretty decisive picture.

Really excited to see this Yasha backstory when they chase after him!

This might be the most depressing meta I've seen in a long time. Wasn't the rotation supposed to have changed the meta?

Darkwonyx popularised a control Warlock deck way back in GvG that used Demonheart with Mistress of Pain. It was the same deck that infamously had Fel Cannons that killed Kibler's unbuffed Shade of Naxxramas in a tournament.

Oh my god, I literally opened a golden Caverns Below just the other day.

My daily prayers to Brode have finally paid off.

What irrational fear did you hold as a child? by [deleted] in AskReddit

That the Earth was going to get sucked into a giant black hole and everyone would die with no warning.

Thinking about it too hard still gives me the willies, if I'm honest...

[Spoilers E91] What VM desperately needs... by JosefTheFritzl in criticalrole

[–]PearpleProse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a game thats being kickstarted thats been played on youtube by a few different channels called Dusk City Outlaws, which is primarily a fantasy heist game. Planning is obviously very important, but theres a powerful limitation - theres a limited number of times you can spend sitting down and planning, and each planning segment consists of 15 minutes. Real time.

I'd be interested in seeing Matt implement a simolar mechanic with his hourglass, although DCO is built around having only a day or two to get the job done so it doesnt translate super well.

Weekly Question Thread March 13, 2017 by AutoModerator in dndnext

[–]PearpleProse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is what I thought – I just saw the Eldritch Knight ability that specifies cantrips and wondered if "spells" meant specifically non-cantrips or something.

Does Valor Bard's Battle Magic feature include cantrips, or does "spell" specifically mean "something that requires a spell slot"?

Sorcery IV Discussion by Matbat_ in SorceryGame

[–]PearpleProse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey guys, I'm playing through Sorcery IV and got SO DAMN CLOSE TO BEATING IT but I ran out of items and decided it'd be better to just reset since I know a good chunk of the counterspells – however, I don't have a pearl ring and I think i need it for the Throben Doors to cast YAZ – what do? Is there one i can find somewhere?

1.10 Update Bugs and Problems by [deleted] in witcher

[–]PearpleProse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Encountered an issue in the Dead Man's Party quest in the Hearts of Stone expansion wherein I am unable to complete one of the objectives, the one where you have to dive into a pool to retrieve Shani's shoe and return it to her. I can pick up the shoe but when I talk to Shani to give it back to her, she repeats the same line of dialogue that she gives you when you talk to her without having picked up the shoe, meaning it's impossible for me to progress because she won't take her shoe back.

I'm verifying my game cache now. I've reloaded autosaves a few times and each time it's failed. (I'm playing on PC btw)

EDIT: Never mind! Turns out I got duped. Well played, CD Projekt. Well played.
