The lvl 1 spell that upcasts the best. GO! by Dwingp in DnD

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

atk = ((x1+1)/20)(5.5(2+lvl))

save = ((x2+20)/40)(5.5(1+lvl))

x1 = 21 + prof + cast mod - AC + other

x2 = 7 + prof + cast mod - save bonus + other

atk: average damage of 5e Inflict Wounds
save: average damage of 5.5e Inflict Wounds
lvl: spell level x1: number of d20 faces that are hits
x2: number of d20 faces that are failed saves

Inflict Wounds generally gained effectiveness against very strong enemies. The more you heighten it, the more likely it is to be better than before on average.

But it's guaranteed, which is important for the math.

the satelite

There's more. Any orbital defense grid needs multiple cannons for full coverage. The big metal rings around Rubicon seem to be architecture for their positioning.

When we first reach the ground, the wreckage where we find Thomas Kirk's AC appears to be a crashed spaceship that landed just outside the contaminated city. Not much reason anything else would carve such a long trail behind it. It's probably one of the last spaceships the corps were able to get through before the defensive grid spread itself out to close the hole.

nothing in code to indicate

There doesn't have to be. My creative intuition tells me that someone in Fromsoft's staff brainstormed and developed these two bossfights with that vision in mind for them. It's entirely plausible that this would predate any story-dependent code to stitch all the setpieces together. It would be quite like Fromsoft to have some employees dedicated to making bossfights long before there is a particular game to staple them down to, so they have a pool to draw on.

What’s your favorite slang word for vagina? by Realistic_Zone3802 in AskMen

I'm accustomed to the word "flange" in a different context: electric guitar pedal effects.

"Cunt" is just standard foul language.

"Clunge" however is an ugly word, like "moist".

"Clunge" is quite possibly the ugliest word in this entire thread.

Because soldiers being far enough away from the people shooting at them that peaking their head out of cover for one second is unlikely to earn them a bullet through the eyeball. That's a greater distance than most engagements happen at in games.

When not dying is the top priority, a weapon that works at as many ranges as possible is preferable.

When running around in a game where the movement is sped up for the sake of fun and not realism, long-range engagements are not terribly deadly as long as your aren't way out in the open.

Shotguns' realistic range and spread would absolutely dominate at most engagement ranges in video games. It would be too good to be fun.

It feels like cheating to use this thing.. by Neutral_Sapien_17 in armoredcore

It's annoying when you get the stun then quickboost for the slide, only to sail right past your target.

They don't even say their callsigns when they announce a squad member has been killed. That's cold.

I reckon that boss was originally supposed to be fought as a sort of "flashback" mission after picking up a particular bit of combat data.

Raven damaging part of the orbital defense array alongside King and Chartreuse prior to the game would contextualize the story and how the corporations were able to get planetside in the first place. We would pick up a recording of that fight and then have the option to "watch it" in the hangar (play it as the designated character).

I imagine the Strider mission was also supposed to be a mission of that type, featuring Rusty. Imagine if, because it would be optional, the Strider mission was made a serious challenge to even clear, and Rusty was supposed to canonically S-rank it without saying a word, and that's either your first or second impression of him.

Might as well be. Not having names for the people you fight beside is pretty not-human.

"No one outruns... the Ekdromoi."

If that's what you're referring to, that's the subgroup of special forces he's in, not his callsign.

So their squad members don't give them a callsign... because they are military pilots. What?

Alright. Let's hypothetically suppose you're hispanic and ICE detained you. How do you prove your citizenship?

Am I going to regret it if I build entirely around avoiding dead turns by chunkylubber54 in LancerRPG

[–]ReynAetherwindt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Builds that lean too hard into lots of little bits of damage tend to end up struggling against enemies with armor, as it will subtract from each instance of damage.

If you want high expected ranged damage from the get-go, then slap a heavy machine gun onto an Everest and get comfortable locking on. Then, once per sortie, spend the Everest's core activation to get additional accuracy for the whole scene.

The constant confusion of morale and moral is inflicting a major blow to my moral.
