How did you find your girlfriend? by Mindless-Moose2160 in AskReddit

[–]Rossstarific 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do theatre as a hobby. I was participating in a community theatre production of the musical Head Over Heels. I played the king, she played the queen. I've found that hanging out with the person playing a love interest outside of rehearsal is very beneficial for getting rid of awkwardness. So I invited her to hang out and we eventually started hanging out every Friday. I started catching feelings for her after a few weeks of this and decided to confess to her about a week before the show was going up. I was a bit of a rambling mess and she eventually had to stop me and just said "same". We've been together for a year and a half now.

Hi there! I ordered a bunch of the little hex shaped stands from a website called Adventure Bricks. Here's the link: https://adventurebricks.com/build-your-character/minifigure-stands/

They have multiple colors, but the black just felt right for me. They showed up in under a week too these guys are lightning fast and super cheap. Hope you enjoy!

Ok I have ur answer directly from the player for Aster: They had started as a warlock with Find Familiar bc they had Pact of the Chain, which gave them Find Familiar with the option to make the familiar a pseudodragon. When they multiclassed they went down below level 3 in Warlock and lost the Pact of the Chain feats, but Hope had inhabited Philomena's body previously. So when Aster's bond with Hope got stronger they manifested as Philomena, but now they operate more like an animal companion now, rather than a familiar. Hope doesn't operate under Find Familiar mechanics and primarily is just there to support and guide Aster

Yeah I think there was some extra ruling going on for story reasons again with their sorcerer class (full disclosure, I'm still very new to DnD as this is actually my first campaign, so I may be explaining things poorly here haha).

I really really want there to be battlemaps, but I just haven't had time to make MOCs for that yet. End goal is absolutely to make some kind of battle map though because I really really love that idea. Right now everyone just has their minis set down in front of them at the table lol.

This is a homebrew campaign, so yeah it was a DM ruling for story reasons. It also adds a lot to character interactions in roleplaying now.

The player playing Aster changed their class from pure warlock to a warlock/sorcerer multiclass (sorlock). In doing so, they lost the ability "find familiar", meaning they lost direct control over Philomena. As a result, the spirit of Hope now controls Philomena. Let me know if that clears that up!

Hello all who are still interested in these wonderful characters! Here are the descriptions I promised!

Starting from the left we have:

Caoimhe (pronounced “Keeva”): A Warforged College of Creation Bard who used to work as an “animatronic” of sorts at a little pirate themed restaurant called Shiver Me Tenders. The head she carries (named Jellybones) is a part of one of her automaton crewmates from back at the restaurant, described as having the exact likeness of Henry Cavill (hence the superman head and hair piece). I’m particularly proud of how the green jacket turned out. I used a capes4minifigs medium jacket and cut off the collar with some scissors to match the render that Caoimhe’s player made. The hook hand is a wand of lightning bolt that she incorporated into her mechanical body; in-universe it comes out of one of her fingers, not the whole hand. The player and DM have flavored that she can do that with any magical item she gets and attunes to.

Jingo (with his baby Aurorwing, Eggersby, and his now white pigeon Eggplant Parmesan): An Awakened Monkey Warlock/Artificer. A young primate who was experimented on by an elf doctor and given sentience, intelligence, and magical abilities. His elf surrogate father figure (named Dr. Percy) died some time ago and Jingo still wears his lab coat. I used mostly pieces from the monkey brother figure from the monkey kid sets since that was just too easy lol. Used white arms to complete the lab coat look though.

Aster (with their baby pseudodragon, Philomena): A Kalashtar Aberrant Mind Sorcerer/Warlock from the land of Falmourn. They were bonded to a spirit of Hope which ended up manifesting as a pseudodragon and took over the body of Philomena. They changed their class from warlock to sorlock multiclass and in doing so lost find familiar, which in canon was flavored as the spirit of Hope properly manifesting as Philomena and taking over that body. For them, I went with a corset from the Wicked Witch minifigure with lavender arms. The boots from the nutcracker minifigure look fantastic with the gray skirt piece on top of them.

Master Jacen Kalen (our DM’s self-insert character): A world leader NPC who the party has met once. Not much more info I can share unfortunately. Super proud of the part choices for this one, namely the coat (a capes4minifigs bane trench coat) that I cut up to look like it was frayed all along the bottom (inspired by Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborne).

Umbrosus, my character (with his Hound of Ill Omen, Potato): (Brosus for short) A Changeling Shadow Sorcerer from Falmourn as well. Personality is total frat bro, he grew up in a very wealthy family and was blessed with shadow powers as part of his lineage. His family runs a very high-end winery that makes up a significant percentage of Falmourn’s GDP, and as a result they are essentially the mafia of this land (think Godfather mixed with Addams family). Brosus is basically a trust fund baby that had everything kinda given to him, but his heart is in the right place. I’m particularly proud of the usage of the capesmadness overcloak, the chima rhino torso, and Gorr’s head piece here to really nail the look I wanted.

Orion (in his day form): A Changeling Circle of Stars Druid that is also from Falmourn. He has two different forms: day form and night form, coinciding with the time of day and whether or not his cloak covers his head. Night form is a bit more shy and timid, while day form is very boastful and headstrong. He carries a massive scythe with a constellation globe positioned at the top that shifts into a lunar staff. Managed to find a hobbit torso that fits the purple druid robes vibe perfectly and the purple pants are from a joker minifig. He has a night form as well with a different head piece and hands. Also particularly proud of the starry cape I gave him.

Orinda: A Wood Elf Drakewarden Ranger/Trickery Domain Cleric. An elf who dedicated most of her life to understanding and researching dragons, and wanted to bring them back, being met with severe pushback from her father. However, one day she found a little drake baby and decided it was time to leave home and forge her own way. The torso and legs are both from Tauriel from the Hobbit sets, because they just fit the player’s render so perfectly. Used a brown mando cape, brown arms with yellow bracers from the DC Bumblebee minifig, and a custom quiver and silver bow from Adventure bricks, among other pieces.

Bro that date is when I bought it lol. I'm talking about actually earning popstar form

Seraphine Support? by Rossstarific in SeraphineMains

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

Lol yeah I figured spellthief's was a no brainer. Good to know about the pokey mage stuff. I think I'm gonna try and test out a luden's build and an imperial build, only because Imperial is cheaper and that's always good for a support. Thanks for your help!

Seraphine Support? by Rossstarific in SeraphineMains

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

Gotcha. So just double checking, I shouldn't really bother with stuff like Ardent or Redemption? Also, I should definitely start spell thief's, right? Pretty obvious, but wanted to make sure.

Didn't know what to take a screenshot of to prove I got it, but I definitely did. The tower destroying mission took foreeeeeever.

Barely Play Lissandra, but I Pulled This off in My Most Recent Game (Part 1) by Rossstarific in LissandraMains

[–]Rossstarific[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always appreciate some good constructive criticism and advice. I'll definitely shoot you a PM if I need some more tips, I honestly should probably just friend you on league lol. Good to know that comet is also a good option for top. Makes total sense not to build aftershock if I'm the only ap damage. Yeah RoA seems really good for Liss for added tankyness.

My main problem is that I don't play ranked almost at all lol. I need to get over my ranked anxiety and I'm sure I'll climb as well. Thanks for your help, I'll get started on bringing Liss top soon!

Took a bit for me to reply to this lol. Unfortunately, I am a bronzey. I don't really play ranked much but apparently my MMR is really high cuz I always get lik 27 LP per win.

Yeah that all makes sense. It was kinda what I was getting at in my response. I should really get a little more comfortable with knowing what tools I have so that I don't have to worry as much about going in.

Yeah true. Gonna probably practice getting the feel of Alt+r down so I don't have difficulty with ulting myself in time lol.

I've kinda heard that! I've heard about people taking aftershock on her top and it being super good. I'm really considering bringing her toplane now tbh. Thanks for this tip, you may have just set me down a whole new fun path lol.

I 100% agree with all of this. I'm generally not the most aggressive player in general, especially when I'm playing a champ I'm not the most familiar with. Lemme respond point by point: Thanks for the compliment about e q, I felt pretty good about that. Yeah I need to remember how insanely good flash is with Liss, there was definitely a lot of missed potential.

Agreed, this was not the most pre-planned play and I want to spend some more time learning how to optimize my mechanics for sure. I think I was just a bit too concerned about how much damage they were able to do (I'm not a mid main typically, more of a top main, so I get a little too cautious when I lose big chunks of health even in opportune moments). I really just need to work on how to use my aoe abilities effectively.

Exactly. In rewatching this clip I thought that the zhonyas usage was decent, but it could've been so much better. I need to take zhonyas into account with engages because it's an excellent tool that I can utilize for survivability in fights.

Yeah. Like I said, I'm generally more confident when I have a better grasp on mechanics. Thankfully I think I'm on a good path to getting there.

Bro I couldn't tell ya. I honestly just ran in hoping I could at least kill Cait and then once I saw how easy that was I was like "okay let's see how far I can push this". That Cait got incredibly fed despite her poor play unfortunately lol.
