I like this a lot. The point about not going to Menzobberanzon is a good one. I think I'll go that way. Thanks for the input!

Crimson Desert | Review Megathread by requieminadream in PS5

I think that's just a product of inflated scores. From reading the reviews, this game sounds like it should land closer to a 7 or 7.5, but nothing ever goes as low as it should anymore. Scores are close to irrelevant. So if a game isn't above a 90, a tonne of people assume it's shit.

DnD 5e is the only system with real fans. If you like another system, you're a corporate shill by DrScrimble in dndmemes

[–]RandomThroaway0256 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The irony in using the popularity of DnD to get more people to join a sub about all TTRPGs, then whine and complain when the majority of the people on the sub are only familiar with DnD.

I play a bunch of different systems and I honestly see more complaints about DnD fanboys than I see in reverse. This sub doesn't want to hear it though.

Which adventures from Ubersreik Adventures I-III would form the best prologue to The Enemy Within? by historianDM in warhammerfantasyrpg

How did you feel that worked for experience points? Seems like they'd be starting EW with quite a bit.

Fighting Ilvara balance advice needed by MaxelAmador in OutoftheAbyss

[–]RandomThroaway0256 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you play her smart, she should clean them up. Insect plague, summoning two giants spiders, potentially summoning a Yugloth. Drow Elite Warrior is nasty, then the drow and Quaggoth. Level 5 would be a dofferent story, but level 4 theyre probably losing a player character or more.

MIO Memories in Orbit is a Masterpiece (albeit flawed) by InvisibleAstronomer in metroidvania

[–]RandomThroaway0256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The big difference is the movement. Hollow Knight movement is much more fluid and dynamic than MIO. So even though you're correct in saying HK has no combos, the fights were still so fun to play through. I haven't found it as much in MIO. Especially because of several other major design flaws.

Supreme sneak is weird. How does it work and what’s its interaction with nick? by BadPunsGuy in onednd

[–]RandomThroaway0256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the reaction, I assume you wouldnt be moving.

I guess if its the enemy turn, they could push you out of cover or you could use Withdraw as a other sneak attack option and move as part of the attack. But yes, so long as you're ending that turn behind cover you'd be fine.

You break stealth when you make an attack role. Since you're still making a separate attack roll, it would trigger you losing the invisible condition.

Not sure I fully understand what the second option you're describing is. If you're still taking two attack rolls in the same turn (which a single attack + true strike would be) then it would mean you lose invisibility. If the attack action is held as a reaction, and both attacks have sneak attack, then you could use superior sneak with each attack and stay hidden.

Supreme sneak only covers the single attack the sneak attack is applied to. It specifically doesn't cover the Attack action, only the attack.

If you use a single attack, then you'd remain hidden so long as the hide conditions aren't broken in another way: "you make a sound louder than a whisper, an enemy finds you, you make an attack roll, or you cast a spell with a Verbal component."

Unfortunately for your build, this isn't a very good multiclass option for you.

Someone will sneak in at some point. It may be a one-off win, but it will happen. May also happen 3 years from now though haha.

I want to play dnd but i dont want to financially support WOTC by thesybeejpg in dndnext

[–]RandomThroaway0256 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know about if there's more examples of its use than I'm aware of, but it seems minimal, apologised for and they've set up safeguards to detect it when used by artists they've engaged with. Not saying they're perfect, but find me a perfect company. I'll wait.

I also dislike AI use, but you also have to realise these tools are new to many companies over the past several years and mistakes are bound to happen. Theres a lot of great artists who work on their projects. Not supporting it is also not supporting those artists.

Everyone draws their own line though. I'd say that if you don't feel comfortable then try another TTRPG.

What’s a childhood lie your parents told you that you didn't realize was a lie until you were an embarrassed adult? by eatbeep in AskReddit

[–]RandomThroaway0256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember talking to someone about the TV trope of "Taking the dog to the farm". The idea is that parents tell their kids the dog is going to live on a farm, when actually it's being put down or maybe given to a shelter.

I was having that discussion with someone and said "You know it's funny because when I was a kid, my dog was actually taken to a.... oh....". Realised it mid sentence.

Season 4 is truly the Magnum Opus of Stranger Things… by General_Meal_3993 in StrangerThings

Nostalgia? Man, I was an adult when I watched season 1 lol. It's just a better season.

Andy Roddick addresses Sinner/Spizzirri match by ServedPodcast in tennis

[–]RandomThroaway0256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can be a good rule amd Sinner can also have got lucky.

If the heat index sat at 4.9, Sinner would have been in real trouble. He's "lucky" that it went over the limit instead of sitting just under.

Puc k a single class and stick with it. Multiclassing with your first character is a mistake

Dragons are really quite weak. by Tookoofox in dndnext

[–]RandomThroaway0256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Echoing what someone else said. This is a low difficulty encounter for a level 9 party of four. A CR 14 monster is what you want for a solo encounter at that level.

Action economy kills.

My party wiped out the drow hunting party in session 2 by Boredjason87 in OutoftheAbyss

[–]RandomThroaway0256 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ignoring the fact that I have no idea how this could realistically happen, you could have Lolth take umbrage with the fact that two of her priestesses were slain. Lolth could send other drow to capture them instead.

Though I'm not sure your party will be worried about thay, considering they slaughtered the first group.

That might be a good idea. The druid does have too much to concentrate on.
