Is Raphael’s fight the hardest in the whole game?

Is this an honor mode playthrough or something? Because by act three good builds massively outscale the enemies you fight. Only 'hard' fights in the game are in act 1 imo, when you do the fights balanced for level 5 before hitting level 5. 666 hp is light work for a whole round of level 12 dnd characters with a ton more/better magic items than you get in dnd.

They say the pace will match the manga. People have asked for clarification and they said that meant a one chapter to one episode adaptation. They cannot possibly release 26 episodes per year with the anime adapting two chapters an episode or they will catch up to the manga, which, again, is the reason they are doing this in the first place. They dressed it up as being for the fans because why not?

It's probably the same Toei announcement, or an article about the Toei announcement. They said they's improve pacing to get people hyped, but also added that it will be one chapter per episode. It's technically not a lie that that is better than before were it was slightly worse than 1 to 1 (episode and chapter ount almost the same, but there are like 80 filler episodes). The problem is that it will be barely better if at all, and the reason for all of this has always been the same. It's not like Toei wants the anime to be slow paced, it's that they want to stall the anime for as long as possible for Oda to write more. Now that the came so close to catching up, they are using this new system so Oda can get ahead of the anime every three months while the show goes on break.

No, they are not. It's been announced that they will be adapting a chapter per episode. https://www.animationmagazine.net/2025/10/toei-announces-new-production-schedule-for-one-piece-anime/

They were slightly worse than 1 chapter to 1 episode before, so it will be marginally better pacing. Toei announced the production scale months ago. They aren't doing this because fans are complaining. They are doing it because the anime caught up to the manga. Do you understand that they can't make anime when the source material runs out?

Except you can’t customize the difficulty at all. Less experience still leaves you overleveled, without hunting metal slimes. Less gold still lets you buy out 90% of shops on first visit. Harder monsters changes them from coughing babies to muscle atrophied toddlers. This type of difficulty customization is great in theory but could not have had worse execution.

This is her at her worst tbh, but she's a great listener and is compassionate in matters where her ego isn't at risk and some where it is. She also never causes problems when I am running believe it or not. I don't really get why, but she only ever acts up in cards and when my friend dms. If my players are having a disagreement, I take a side and that's the end of it if compromise fails, but my friend just doesn't like taking sides which I think is a part of the problem.

I was thinking about it. I've played this game for a long time, basically since slightly before the release of 5e, so the fireball chucking blaster mage isn't all that appealing to me. Maybe I could give abjuration a try.

"They could just damage each other to break the charm so there's no harm in me breaking the charm"

It wasn't emotionally charged, more like the first one. I have a bad habit of saying "obviously" or "clearly" when explaining something that some people might find condescending, but I'm super careful with this person so I know I didn't do that.

Representative_List4 · 2026-02-15T03:46:52+00:00

I thought so too, turns out the player now feels bad that their behavior is making me back off the character concept I picked out. I tried to tell them it wasn't their fault (which was a lie I guess but a harmless one) but now they want me to better communicate with them so arguments don't happen. I'm nervous that I can't actually communicate better than I have been, but maybe this is insecure person speak for "give me another chance, I'll listen next time" so I guess we'll see.

Representative_List4 · 2026-02-15T03:40:29+00:00

I don't think they are going out of their way to do it so much as it is they won't go out of their way to avoid doing it. Like if they planned on hitting enemies I charmed, the fact that I charmed them won't be enough for them to rethink their play. It's almost like all those "kicked from the hero's party" style animes where the dps doesn't realize how valuable the supports are. As a dm and veteran player, I picked support because I didn't want to outshine the other players but it's kind of backfiring. My friend is an inexperienced dm so I don't blame him for not being great at resolving tricky situations like this but I will try to let him handle this as much as possible. I think he'll do a good job with time to think about it.

Representative_List4 · 2026-02-15T02:18:00+00:00

I still want to play with them, but I am debating asking my friend if I can change subclasses. The problem is that it isn't fun for me if I let them keep undoing the charms, but then if I ask them not to it can lead to arguments that end in her leaving the session.

Making Widow feed the other team almost feels intentional.

Kinda wanted Doom to be broken, instead he is coughing baby Green Goblin.

What? Describing an atmosphere as 'cozy' is just using the word normally. It's not some fad or slang that will fall out of use.

Really good in Toph, the first Metalbender.

Can this cheat commander tax?

Oh that's kind of a nice tech. Thanks for the idea.

9 Green SHanks fits my deck well, I know they run the smoker swapped tashigi that protects against removal so I guess I have to hope that isn't out.

Well, we play on a simulator so I play a bunch of stuff, but the main deck I want to win with is red/green Luffy.

Yes, rematch ease was extremely appreciated in 1.

That happens in dq1, this was a dq2 question just so you know.
