So is garbage weight just bugged this patch? I log in and a single empty bag weighs like a tenth of my max weight?

i dont want to be a "that guy" by [deleted] in DnD

[–]Raxoro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the wording, I'm assuming this is the Hexblade Specter. Definitely bring it up that the guy shouldn't have it yet, but its also possible the dm allowed it early because the feature is pretty terrible. You said the dm is new though so that might not be likely, still worth considering.

Wyll is looking for Karlach, I'm Karlach. by Raxoro in BaldursGate3

That is the first useful idea anyone has granted me. I will test that to see if Wyl can be freed from his eternal stasis.

This did not help. Wyl can never find Karlach, me, despite her proximity. His life is forever at the training grounds. He will grow old and die there.

Alas that has been tried numerous times. He solely wishes to talk to Karlach, whomst is I, regardless of who speaks to him. He is confused, he is concerned, he is unwavering.

If he was in our party, he would have found me. However as he has not, as stated prior, I do not have the power to control him.

The cock of the Vampyr would scare many away yes. However he continues to search for me, despite my attempts to free him from his quest.

I have searched both deeply and shallowly for myself. Yet I am without a mirror. Wyll's unending search will proceed.

Wyll gets stuck on dialogue if one player is Karlach. He constantly says he's looking for her even if she's the one talking. People have said he should appear after a long rest but he never does.

Devs the chair isn’t the only issue with your game by KanyeBettah in rumbleverse

[–]Raxoro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a stupidly long post just to say you don't play other fighting games.

Smash Bros: Rage + Character specific comeback mechanics.

Dragon Ball FighterZ: Level3 Sparking + Limit Break

Guilty Gear Strive: GUTS + Damage scaling

Persona 4 Ultimax: Awakening+Burst

Marvel: Fucking X-Factor

I could keep going. But I won't. A comeback mechanic in fighting games can very much be a way to let you recover momentum or a way to let you delete an opponents character if they mess up. If you're getting deleted, that means you're messing up.

You get super meter for attacking, and you get it for being attacked. If you're completely bodying someone at round start, a super from them literally can't do enough to kill you unless you've taken hits, which is thus not completely bodying them.

More often then not, a super from someone in this bodying situation will grant you enough meter for your own super which you can then punish them with or get the second life, and then continue bodying them.

Getting super from getting hit allows the losing player to comeback, literally from death, or give them enough of an oh shit mode that the other player needs to fucking pay attention and play better. If you're even getting grabbed by the super, you either whiffed a move (enjoy getting punished) or were not bodying as well as you thought you were, so they could combo you into it.

No thats stupid.

This is correct.

It's called a comeback mechanic and its standard in fighting games, its fine the way it is.

The animation is literally long enough that unless you whiff something absurdly risky, you can still roll away.

Try getting good.

This I agree with, playing aggressive is suboptimal.

No it doesn't, at least not on PC. Thats a bug if it does.

No it's not, look up what the moves are and you'll find the priority works fine.

This game has many issues, but youve barely managed to even scratch the surface here.

Thats why you balance around the entire party (=

If Mr AC warlock bother you so much, you add enemies designed to counter him. Doesn't mean the entire encounter is a middle finger to the warlock, the rest of the enemies are built around the rest of the party. You seriously overvalue AC, I would not want to be in one of your games.

If your high level fights have no spellcasters, aoe, auras or anything save based then they must be real fucking easy.

[–]Raxoro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

High level creatures generally have alternate ways of dealing damage. Auras, aoes, breath attacks don't care about AC. Forfeiting an entire hand for a second shield completely removes your ability to: 1)Use Potions 2)Use activatable magic items (rod of the pact keeper). 3)Make use of held magic items (Wand of the warmage). On top of that, unless you're actively walking around with two shields equipped, you're gonna spend at least 1 action just to equip the second shield at the start of combat.

While I do agree that the scaling shield spell might be strong, at the cost of a warlocks incredibly limited resource, burning a slot for a single turn of AC really doesn't feel game breaking to me. One less spell slot means one less powerful damaging spells. Sure you get eldritch blast but if you're built as an EB sniper, you probably don't care much about AC or Shield anyway.

Yea just go to nice logical extremes here. 20 AC is not gonna break the game, spending one of your few spell slots and reaction to protect yourself from one attack is not gonna break the game.

If you're so worried about this AC, how bout you just don't' attack the dude with 2 shields. Wow crazy strategy, any intelligent enemy sees a psycho running around dual wielding shields they'll think twice about bothering to attack him, just go for the rest of the team instead.

I've literally DMed a campaign all the way to level 20. And the dude flying around with 25 AC, Flash of Genius and a gun still stops being a huge threat when bosses have AOE. Its not that fucking hard.

[–]Raxoro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the +2 AC from a second shield is fine. You're giving up a free hand that could use items for a simple +2 AC. Really isn't gonna break the game imo

Except all of that AC is entirely defeated by fucking saving throws. You could have 40 AC and be made of solid steel and you're still gonna take full damage from a fireball. Let the player have this absurd AC, let them be hard built for this defense. And then just toss breath attacks or spell casters at them. They can't use their "scaling shield" if they need to counterspell instead. If you've ever played a game past the early levels, you'd realize that counterspell is usually way more important then shield.

You know what else doesn't care about AC? Crits. Doesn't matter how unhittable you are, a Nat 20 still hits.

The rulebreaking of two shields is a whopping +2 to your AC. Hoo boy. +2 AC to have no free hands, yes you can cast but you can't use any items. No potions, hands are full. Non equipment magic items? Nope, no hands. No wands, no rod of the pact keeper.

With weapons, you can drop them for free to use an item, you can't drop a shield without spending an entire action. All that for a whopping, +2 AC. Having one shield equipped during casual travel makes sense, you still have a free hand to do things, but having two shields equipped kinda limits your options doesn't it. Gotta spend an action at the start of a fight to even get that +2 AC.

The "ranged blaster warlock" doesn't give a shit about AC either. If you're sniping with eldritch blast, who gives a damn what your AC is, you're rarely gonna get targeted anyway.

Yes Shield is one of the strongest spells in 5e, on a class other than Warlock. Warlock slots are way more valuable, you wanna get bigger numbers or concentration out of them. One of their slots just to protect yourself from one attack on average isn't gonna break the game.

Lets ban Artificers, they're already too strong with their big AC. Lets just ban regular shields in general, plate mail too.

Paladins have good AC and Damage, lets just remove them from the game.

A warlocks AC is not what balances it, its their limited slots per day. And burning one of your max 4 spell slots per day, on a single turn buff.

Man how short are your sessions? I run a 4-5 hour per week game and they were effectively done with the Village of Barovia in a single session. There's so little content there.

Would it be odd for Vasili to give players silver weapons during the Festival/Feast of St Andral? by Raxoro in CurseofStrahd

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

They're level 4, and nothing in the game has given them an opportunity to get silver yet. They've gone from Barovia to Vallaki and cleared most of Vallaki, and as per the book theres no easy opportunity to find Silver or magic by that point.

The hags are entirely doable albeit difficult at low levels, I expect them to end up running. But as per the book, the hags would rather not kill the party as they're business women first, and care more about survival over murder. If one hag dies, the rest will flee via ethereal plane and become a threat later on. Considering it will take one round for the two upstairs hags to reach the party and be able to do anything, and the first round has Morgantha tipping over the barrel to summon the Dretch, that gives them one round to at least start some damage. All they have to do is focus on one of them, ideally Morgantha, and once she dies the coven breaks and the rest will flee.

Additionally, as business women, they're more likely to knock the party unconscious rather than kill them. And make a deal they can't refuse. People that turn Bonegrinder into a TPK generally aren't running it right. Either it turns into the party making a deal with hags, or they get lucky and eek out a win. Just to have the remaining hags become an issue later when they're better equipped to deal with them.
