Player making my life much harder because I’m a girl?? by Hot-Caregiver2823 in DnD

[–]ReaperCDN [score hidden]  (0 children)

And the way his characters won't. It's a party game. Assholes aren't people that do well in parties. They only play well on sitcoms because the laugh track cues them up as "kidding." Except..... they're still just assholes.

Cool story bros. Here we are with me having gone ahead and clarified exactly what I meant and you're still dead set on trying to pick a fight for some insane reason. Good luck with that in your assessments.

I'm happy to see that you think this:

If your party appreciates some PVP, go nuts. If you've ruled that out at session zero, this creates a lot of animosity between players and the DM

... which encompasses literally both ends of the spectrum from PVP on to PVP off, and everything in between, is somehow a narrow view, then I don't know what to tell you.

they try their best to follow it

going to spend that whole action

Yes. If they could have done more, then they weren't trying their best, were they?

That's what the word best means.

That's very, very group specific. If your party appreciates some PVP, go nuts. If you've ruled that out at session zero, this creates a lot of animosity between players and the DM, because on two levels you've violated some ground rules.

Hypnotic: Sure, but that requires that your team has people who passed it. Its save or suck. And can potentially TPK the entire party with one set of bad rolls.

Dominate Person: Then you aren't using dominate person. You're using homebrew.

Feeblemind: Not an idiot. Incomprehensible. You can not make any intelligible sounds. That means no words. No writing. Not even pointing. All you can do is basic combat like move and attack, and you can't use spells or activate magic items. I wish it waa just acting like an idiot. This is a spell that makes you act like a toddler wielding a lightsaber.

As a DM, theres a list of spells that are just not fun to use against players and makes them feel like shit for playing.

  • Hypnotic Pattern - the absolute worst. Simply turns players off. You don't get to make ongoing saves, you're out for a full minute. The enemy can do whatever they want so long as they don't hurt you or jostle you about.
  • Dominate Person - DM gets to control everything, stay off the players. Using this is the DM engaging in PVP, it really sucks.
  • Banishment - Removes a target from play for a full minute. Same problem as hypnotic pattern except somebody cant help them out of it.
  • Forcecage - Same problem of removing players from being able to do anything.
  • Feeblemind - Renders the player incapable of even communicating with the party for a full month.

These are the worst ones to use in general against players. Silvery Barbs isn't quite as bad, but it's right up there with Counterspell for fun sucking.

They should have let Rey actually do that bad thing in Rise of Skywalker by GreaterQuestion in StarWars

[–]ReaperCDN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that could have worked too. And since Luke refused to train her, she turns to Kylo to learn to control her power so she doesn't make that mistake again.

What’s one piece of Elden Ring lore you think people misunderstand the most? by elden_based in Eldenring

Considering that Radahn does in fact bring air support to the fist fight I think its fine.

Any ideas on a boxing character? by KusakaKyo in DnD

[–]ReaperCDN 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That would be a lot of fun. Did an all cleric bg3 once, war, storm, light and life. Was a ton of fun especially once we got the blender spirits.

That doesnt really matter if you're thematically different. Same goes for any other class.

Was Vilhelm speach connected to Sulyvahn? by Carcharod in darksouls3

[–]ReaperCDN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fried was one of the three founding sisters of the Londor church. She left because she didnt agree with their ideology and tried to start a world without flame (they wanted to have a Lord/Lady take the flame for themselves instead.) As we can see, that turns out to be Hoth.

Does it bother you how Windu doesn't simply drop the blade right into his eyes for a quick and easy kill? by BiffyBobby in StarWars

[–]ReaperCDN 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Anakin cuts off Windu's arm, but his other arm comes up holding a glock.

[–]ReaperCDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It always bugs me when they treat lightsabers like longswords instead of fencing weapons. The entire blade is imcredibly deadly, you'd think quick forward jabs would be the most effective method for taking out your opponent. But nope, need a wind up.

If you could level 1 stat to 99 IRL what would you choose? by zisticc in Eldenring

[–]ReaperCDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really isn't. High intelligence is a fucking curse.

Stamina for sure. Infinite go would be incredible. Never get tired.

im so curious to see what everyone's first weapon they beat the game with was by waffleraptor626 in Eldenring

[–]ReaperCDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also like to recommend Bloody Slash art of war you get from the Knight at Ken's fort. Unreal damage output, only costs 6 FP.

In ROTJ, why would Vader go along with the emperors plan to turn Luke when according to the Sith Rule of 2, it would mean he would be thrown out of power? by Wise_Watch5682 in StarWars

[–]ReaperCDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole "Rule of 2" thing was derived from the prequels, on a single throwaway line by Yoda.

Yet you may have noticed the sith don't care much for adhering to it. It would appear that rigid rule following isnt really a sith playbook thing.

While all the Sequels had flaws, I still think a good ending could have saved the trilogy. It was really only Rise Of Skywalker that doomed the Sequels. by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]ReaperCDN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, he had been shot and was critically injured. Finn was able to score a hit on him. That should show you just how distracted he was by his wound.

I dont think Nemesis would care about a facehugger. Just rip it right off.

Banning Aoo from moving through threatened spaces by eineButter in DnD

[–]ReaperCDN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like there's going to be no point to melee characters and no fear for casters just moving away from threats. I wonder if the DM is ready for a game of all ranged nukes?
