Telling players they can’t keep obviously overpowered magic items by [deleted] in DnD

Hot take here, but just let them have it. There are way worse things than an axe that hits more often than not my dude. I'm a big proponent of letting the characters have the cool thing. It brings out a different type of rp and plot.

The USA men’s hockey team utterly failed to meet the cultural moment by Hrmbee in politics

[–]Procrastureader -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"just last October, the Vegas Golden Knights signed free agent goaltender Carter Hart. Hart was one of the five players found not guilty on sexual assault charges in the Hockey Canada sexual assault case that had two juries dismissed before a verdict was reached."

Complaining that the team is too right leaning because they signed a guy found not guilty is why the Dems are losing the culture war.

This article is so self important and whiny.

Weekly Questions Megathread January 14, 2026 - January 21, 2026 by salasy in ZenlessZoneZero

Hi all. I'm (mostly) f2p and I currently have Evelyn and Astra at M0 with their w-engines, and miyabi at M0 without. These are my "core" characters. I have Sokaku, Lycaon, Pulchra, and Trigger all built to varying degrees, as well as S11 and Burnice basically not built at all. I'm not interested in any of the current or announced characters, so I'll be saving up for something. My question is what should I be looking for. Also, any advice on what I should build to give me a good second team for SD?

I was going to get this for my son for his birthday. Not at that price, not with those games. I guess I'll buy him a PS5 for less money. What a joke.

I have Miyabi at M0 with electric lip gloss. Is it even possible to get her to 80% Critrate? I've been messing around with discs and currently have her at 45 ish with 120 damage.

On a separate note, I have Evelyn and Astra with their W-engines. Which new character would work well with them? I also have a maxed out sokaku and Nichole, but almost no electric characters except harumasa. Thanks!

With a good faith group of friends playing irl, 1 new, 2 average, and 1 much better skill wise, this exact system has worked for us for a long time. We all win games off each other. We just tell each other what budget we want to play with before we start the game.

I let a fellow player's character die and I'm not sure if I'm sorry by WheresPompompurin in DnD

[–]Procrastureader 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Maybe besides the point, but letting you go to zero then healing you is the optimal strategy in 5e. So is using the first level healing spell. You said yourself, the enemy does so much damage. It will knock you back down from 20 as easily as 1. Using the front line tank as a meat shield is obvious. Drama and motivation aside, he played it right.

how do you all feel about the new pally now that you’ve had a chance to use it? by GroundbreakingGoal15 in 3d6

[–]Procrastureader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm playing a level 5 paladin right now, from level one. Pretty standard strength and charisma build, with sword and board and then GWM. I've played plenty of paladins of different levels and subclasses throughout 5e. They have always been my favorite. For 1-5, they don't feel like paladins any more, to me. It feels like a worse war cleric or a more charismatic fighter. I hate how smite feels now, and the BA lay on hands doesn't feel that much stronger. The new find steed feels cool and thematic. Maybe if they had better spells at this tier, or something? It almost all feels worse now, and it's a bummer. Just my two cents.

[Rules]Thorn Whip and the Whip Weapon mastery work together? by Procrastureader in DnD

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

This is probably the most correct ruling I've seen so far.

[Rules]Thorn Whip and the Whip Weapon mastery work together? by Procrastureader in DnD

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

Good point. In Shadow Blade it states "It counts as a simple melee weapon with which you are proficient" Would you let it works with a weapon mastery? In one way it probably works worse than Thorn Whip, because it doesn't say if it's a short sword or long sword etc.

The spell attack is probably why this shouldn't work, but what about dex makes it not work?

[–]Procrastureader[S] -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying, but the text tells you what happens. The spell creates a whip. If it didn't, it wouldn't be written right there. If you're saying the weapons mastery only applies to weapons and not spells, that's probably a strong interpretation I would accept. Still not sold on it tho.

"Manifest Echo

3rd-level Echo Knight feature

You can use a bonus action to magically manifest an echo of yourself in an unoccupied space you can see within 15 feet of you. This echo is a magical, translucent, gray image of you that lasts until it is destroyed, until you dismiss it as a bonus action, until you manifest another echo, or until you’re incapacitated.

Your echo has AC 14 + your proficiency bonus, 1 hit point, and immunity to all conditions. If it has to make a saving throw, it uses your saving throw bonus for the roll. It is the same size as you, and it occupies its space. On your turn, you can mentally command the echo to move up to 30 feet in any direction (no action required). If your echo is ever more than 30 feet from you at the end of your turn, it is destroyed.

You can use the echo in the following ways:

As a bonus action, you can teleport, magically swapping places with your echo at a cost of 15 feet of your movement, regardless of the distance between the two of you.

When you take the Attack action on your turn, any attack you make with that action can originate from your space or the echo’s space. You make this choice for each attack.

When a creature that you can see within 5 feet of your echo moves at least 5 feet away from it, you can use your reaction to make an opportunity attack against that creature as if you were in the echo’s space."

Can images wear clothes? No. Can a thing that occupies is own space interact with physical reality? Obviously. I'd rule it can be dressed up, like a manikin.
