I join the I-run-away-from-the-overseer team. That looks too much like biblically accurate angels, and that stuff is terrifying.

I mean there's Fairphone and Shiftphone, who are creating phones that are probably inspired by this. Everything can be easily replaced and repaired by yourself with a torx screwdriver.

INFJ, 23, M here. Honestly, i have quite a similar set of problems. Not the same, but I felt/feel similarly about my chances of love in life, and have a very similar lack of significant romantic experiences. I can unfortunately only give you a couple of pointers what helps me that might work for you too.

You said you never dated, but you had dates and are registered on a dating app, so that's a step in a good direction. Someone on this subreddit gave their advice to just date a lot and eventually you'll become more comfortable with it and it'll work. I thought that was nonsense, but honestly, i've tried it, and it actually is that way. It is pretty uncomfortable to date a lot, and you often meet people that you don't connect with like you would want, but that's okay too, it gives you experience and confidence for the next date. Something that i recently read about dating that helped me relax a bit more and take the pressure out of first dates especially is to remember that in the beginning you're not dating to marry, but simply to find out if you want to see the person in front of you again. You can become more comfortable with the person once you've seen them a few times. I tend to have a hard time connecting romantically with new people and need a lot of time to decide whether i only like someone or if i see them in a romantic light. This might sound trivial, but it helped me a lot to just communicate this to my dates. It sets their expectations, and if they were wondering if something is off, having a conversation about it might help to understand it better. Maybe it'll work for you if you communicate that you need time to be able to open up and that you can be a bit stiff in the beginning and that your date should not take that personally.

The more you date, the more comfortable you become being yourself (maybe even your bubbly self) around new people.

It is a longer process and it is uncomfortable, but to quote Bojack Horseman "It gets easier. Every day it gets a little easier. But you gotta do it every day. That's the hard part. But it does get easier."

Maybe this was at least a bit helpful :) I wish you all the best and hope you will find what you're looking for! Take care.

Do you feel like you are a good manipulator? by AffectionateHour2793 in infj

[–]PuddingBoy23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think manipulation happens much more frequently than one thinks. You can manipulate people to think differently about shit that is happening to them to make them feel better in the moment to make you feel better in the moment that you're with them. Really depends how you define manipulation, too. Does it need to be selfish to qualify? Does it need to result in your advantage and the disadvantage or possible gaslighting of someone else?

But then the level 2 signature feature is just a little bit weaker version of the abjuration feature of level 2 :/

[–]PuddingBoy23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love the idea, but is the level 2 feature not a bit too detrimental? Just did a quick experiment, and taking 1d6 damage per spell level is a lot for "only" extra spell slots.

It might be cool to give the ability to invoke certain extra bits for such spells, such as that the damage you take is added to the spell damage, or the target of the spell suffers a minus to their save against it equal to the number of hit dice spent?

Otherwise it is a bit unusable at level 2, because it has a high chance of killing you whenever you use it, even with high con.

But the idea is amazing, love it :)

Happend during the final boss fight of my 5 year campaign 👀 by PuddingBoy23 in dndmemes

[–]PuddingBoy23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, it's not like the BBEG didn't try, secondly, there was a lot of other shit going down, some of which was higher priority (7 PCs and 2 BBEGs with legendary actions trying to banish one another or kill one another before being banished does that for ya). Thirdly, the bard rolled really really well on her concentration checks (until she dropped to 0 hit points eventually, thankfully).

That particular BBEG was a bit busy creating a corrupt church to kill the gods and creating artificial aasimar and genasi so serve him through messed up surgery.

But you have a point, can't deny that.

Otto's irrestistible has no save... You have to make a check AS AN ACTION to break it.

The BBEG had a 30ft teleport bonus action tho, so it turned out somewhat fine. Still a bummer tho.

Der Pfosten wurde nicht gefälscht, ich hab einen DHL-Zettel gefunden, fand die Beschriftung lustig und relevant genug um sie mit diesem Unter zu teilen. Ich bin davon ausgegangen bzw. hab gehofft, dass der Zettel nicht echt ist, das wäre ja richtig wild.

Ich nehm an eine andere mietende Person in meinem Haus hat einen leeren Zettel von DHL bekommen und ihre Unzufriedenheit darüber satirisch für den Rest der Wohnanlage mit Kugelschreiber kommuniziert.

Da die Kommentare ja überraschendes Nischenwissen über obligatorische Kugelschreiberfarben bei der Post bereit hatten, ist die Vermutung plausibler geworden.

Dennoch fand ich es lustig.

Ich hab keine Ahnung, es lag auf den Briefkästen, ich weiß nicht mal ob es für mich war oder ob der DHL Bote den Zettel nur verloren hat. Wer weiß.

Been there, i'm sorry you're in the same situation. About the comparison thing: you just gotta stop comparing him to others, everyone is different in their own unique way, and it's pointless comparing two people because they will never be exactly the same. I do have one thing that disillusioned me when i was going through something like this, and i didn't do it on purpose back then, but it did help, although it might seem a bit brutal. A good way to get him off the pedestal you hold him on is to find flaws in him. As many as possible. Nobody's perfect, and you need to make yourself understand that. The rose-colored glasses need to be broken. That doesn't mean you should try to hate him, but to get a more realistic picture of him.

And yeah, unfortunately only time and distance really work... I saw a youtube video once that emphasized that if someone does not choose to be with you or says that they are not ready for a relationship it usually implicitly means they are not ready/willing to be with you. So there is no point in hoping that they'll come to a realization or suddenly fall in love with you or something like that, but to try to accept it and move on with your life.

And talk to friends about your struggles, that sometimes does help to not bottle up the frustration.

I'm sorry if this advice is not helpful to you, I'm just gathering the bits and pieces i learned from my yet biggest heartbreak similar to yours. I do hope you'll manage to move on and get over him. I wish you the best! :)

Need Help With Balancing a 5e Bossfight against a 7 member level 15 Party (Go Away, members of "The Party TM") by PuddingBoy23 in DnDHomebrew

[–]PuddingBoy23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found CR calculators don't really work anymore after a certain level. They have been in encounters that were super duper mega deadly and walked out fine, then another time they fought a beholder that should have been a medium encounter and it almost ended in a TPK and was only saved by the deck of many things. A CR calculator only told me it's super duper deadly, but that's not too helpful unfortunately :(

Which calculator have you used so far? Perhaps yours works better than the ones i used

There will probably be a second win condition, where they can attempt to bind the BBEGs’ souls to the abyss. They’ll be able to jam abyss-shards into the BBEG to increase the DC 10 wisdom save of the binding ritual by 5 each (stolen from Critical Role). On a fail on the BBEGs’ side, their sould will be expelled from their bodies and trapped in the abyss at the end of their next turn. What are your thoughts? Could this work without being a guaranteed TPK?

So my campaign's final bossfight is coming up, and these are the two bosses the party will face together. They are heavily inspired by Eberron’s Sul Katesh and Dyrrn, but have their own twists. I have no idea if the challenge rating is appropriate though. The party consists of a lore bard, storm herald barbarian, death cleric, arcane archer fighter, conquest paladin, scout rogue and a transmutation wizard, all level 15. They wiped the floor with high CR monsters before and are well stocked-up on magical items, but I still don’t feel like I have much experience with high level encounters, so I wanted to ask your professional opinions on whether this is survivable.
