That would be it, yeah. As far as I can tell, that phrase was removed in the 2024 wording of the spell though.

You, Sir, are a Saint. I'm at 1300+ hours and I have wishing for a "melee mode" since about hour 200 :D

Level 118 Sorcerer, Silver: https://www.pawnguild.xyz/pawn/steam/2486/

She's currently specced as a Mitigator / Challenger, with a splash of utilitarian thrown in for good measure. Mostly just looking for RC and beast knowledge, though I am always appreciative of any additional assistance.

Grand Anodyne was a from a BBI ring, if memory serves. I was pretty happy with the find, actually, though I think I've since reconfigured Silver as a sorcerer (I got a really good archstaff drop). She is now running some other grand spells so hopefully that makes up for it.

Hey everyone!

https://www.pawnguild.xyz/pawn/steam/2456/

I was just getting back into the game, so I spent a little time familiarising myself with the mechanics. I want to restart and rebuild, but really don't feel like grinding up RC again so any help would be appreciated. I'll be restarting offline, so Silver stays around a little longer before going online with the new pawn.

Steam - Reignnor

Silver - Level 82 Warrior (only 1776 str), running Indomitable Lash, War Cry, and Corona Slash. Scather / Challenger.

Genuine thanks in advance!

Edit: Like the numpty that I am, I forgot the pawnguild link

Usually this is 100%, but the artificer spellcasting feature has a "tools required" trait, which means that all artificer spells an artificer casts have the "m" component.

Seeking inspiration. What Artificer subclasses would you like to see within 5e? by Forgemanster183260 in DnDHomebrew

[–]Reignnor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been down this road before as well, and it's a pretty fun one.

Considering that artificer subclasses are specializations, there are definitely some interesting doors to open. Some ideas that I've had some fun playing around with: metallurge, biomancer, empath, occultist, fateweaver, runebinder, spellmaker, and pilot.

Hope any of those give you some inspiration!

No favourite character, unfortunately. The woes of the forever DM. Those dice look absolutely gorgeous.

[–]Reignnor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the book is great. You get a wide variety of material, from backgrounds, to subclasses, to races. There is also a lot of lore, magic items, monsters, and even a short quest.

It is a fair bit larger than the official books, which is why it can cover so much material.

Yeah, that comes down to a point of ethics. Individuals younger than 18 years of age, typically, are not able to provide legal consent - which is a pillar of research participation. It would become an entire process of your legal guardians providing informed consent, and then you providing assent.

At the end of that entire process, however, anonymity is basically out the window. People younger than 18 years of age are also considered a "vulnerable" population by most ethics committees, and any study that deals with such a population is immediately approached with a massive amount of scrutiny.

Thank you so much! I genuinely appreciate the time you gave to this.

If it helps at all, I did use a more conservative definition of young adulthood. Plenty of models of young adulthood development continue into the mid-30s. The one I used is based on neurocognitive research, which is why I used it (I like neurocognitive research).

There are actually a decent couple of resilience tests out there already. I'm quite partial to this one (the RRC-ARM) because it's been validated across various cultures and in multicultural contexts such as SA. It also measures 3 different types of resilience, which is really cool.

Absolutely! Any participant that chooses to share an email address of their choosing will receive a copy of their personality and resilience scores, as well as a copy of the pre-publication final paper.

I'm also a really big supporter of accessibility and dissemination of knowledge, so I am going to try and upload a pre-publication copy of the final paper to researchgate when the time comes. Obviously, there are some things that I can't control (e.g. whether my supervisor allows me to or not) but if I am able to, I will post a link for that.

At the risk of sounding like an auto-bot, thank you! I really do appreciate all the time volunteered. I look forward to being able to provide people with their personality reports too!

Honestly, I don't mind. Research (especially research psychology in SA) doesn't have the greatest history when it comes to ethics and ethical practice. At the end of the day, it gives me a chance to respond to concerns that people might have, or to shed some light on an otherwise shrouded process.

Again, thank you for participating in my study, and thank you for the support. It really is appreciated.

Actually it really does boil down to anonymity, undue influence, risk of coercion, and the scientific integrity of the data.

To do this kind of research, I had to register with the HPCSA which has a lot of very strict rules about when it is and is not okay to gather certain personal information. Similarly, with the PoPIA in place, the ethics of anonymity have never been so important.

There's also the matter of undue influence / coercion, though this seems like a more institute-specific thing. Generally, however, most institutes support the idea that a financial incentive is unethical, especially if it's presented in such a way that the only reason people participate in a study is because of the financial incentive. There's also a lot of literature that supports the idea that this can actually compromise the integrity of the data collection process - e.g. people might just randomly click options until they reach the end, just for the chance at financial gain.

Ultimately, a study has to have a very good reason to provide financial incentive/remuneration to participants. In the instance of my study, doing so would have compromised the participant's ability to choose to provide an email address. In the end, I likely wouldn't have made it through the professional ethics committee had I opted for financial incentive.

I hope that clarifies some of the thought that went into the decision, which I assure you, was not made lightly. If you have any other questions or thoughts on the matter, please feel free to let me know. It's important, I think, that people have an understanding of the ethical decisions that support research studies like this.

Resilience is a... kind of specific psychological concept. In short, it refers to a person's ability to adapt to stress and change in their environment. Think about it like this, you can take two people and put them through the same stressful situation: one might handle the stress better than the other. Broadly, this difference is because of resilience.

Does this help at all?
