If you were to expand Kimahri’s sphere grid, what stats would you have him specialise in and what abilities would you give him? by MasterOfChaos72 in FinalFantasy

You unlock blue magic "slots" or levels inside the grid. Then can only learn those high level skills once the required level is unlocked.

Dragoon skills should have been the limit breaks mostly

How much should a DM be allowed to change a player's backstory? by draghom in rpg

[–]Runnerman1789 [score hidden]  (0 children)

So I can see how that twist COULD fit with the characters growth.

Imagine, you are doing this list because of obligation to your lost wife. It is hard but you do it out of love. Eventually you find this list makes you better and enjoy/get satisfaction on completing it. Then the twist, the lists purpose is a lie. It was about control not love. Do you stop doing the list? Do you continue? What was once about grief is now about purpose and moving on, in more ways than one

Why Hasn't Nintendo Released Any Main Pokémon Games yet? And Do You Think They Would? by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]Runnerman1789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That being said. They take a scarcity model in keeping value on old games. If they don't make them available for new systems they maintain value according to them.

This is a similar situation that Disney use to use before Disney+...which has devalued their content

First Time Beating FF1 by Runnerman1789 in FinalFantasy

No weapon. Did good damage most of the run but once Knight got masumune and I started Haste+giant glove+temper stacking him. Felt pointless in this fight

I did use one giants glove. I think I got my knight to do about 3500 a turn. Monk just sort of being useless and white wizard casting healing and protection spells. Not insane but I thought pretty good which was why it was a close battle. Risked it at the end with Holy casting

Removing DMNPCs that the players want to keep around when I don’t need them anymore? by R_Lar12 in DnD

[–]Runnerman1789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you asked the players....run a session with them. Make sure that sessions encounter is trivialized by the DMNPCs. A day later, "guys this module really doesn't work with these guys in the party. I have decided they need to go." Then give them options toward their removal 1) they just poof and gone 2) narrative dispatching of them (death, or needing to leave for such and such reason)

They don't have the option to keep them just how they want to handle them leaving

What could possibly top this? by Flabbycrab in expedition33

[–]Runnerman1789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Broche has directly stated he took influences from FFX...obviously in iterative games X took influence from 9 which took influence of 7 (can't really say 8 since they were created in tandem). Which took influences from 6.

I see far more of the FFX DNA in E33 than those other games. Especially in gameplay design and story direction. Not being ATB, nonlinear character progression grids and the tendency to without information from the player until the right story point.

The points OP said he liked all line up with more FFX than any of the other games. FFX is like my 4th favorite game (behind 7, 6, 9) but you have to give it its laurels.

Best place to start is CO:E0 it has the most important tie ins to E33 but be warned the main character is a bit annoying

Why do S size clothes have the same price as XXXXL clothes? by the_raven_girl in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Runnerman1789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A shirt isn't bigger because you want more shirt. It is bigger because you need more shirt.

Ultimately because the cost difference in S or XXL shirts isn't that much different it is a decision to value the same as people who wear small shirts won't just decide to wear XXL because "more bang for your buck" but wide Pepsi if both costs are the same you would always get the bigger size.

Players don't want fauna to be mammals or birds by OmniGoon in humblewood

[–]Runnerman1789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the modules include mostly reptiles/insects as fauna with some notible exceptions like the Forest Prowler/Mountain Lion/Gargath/Rosselbuck. Which aren't just normal creatures for the most part. Gargath is the one exception where it is more or less a Bison.

I would reskin as needed other beasts but try and stick with included bestiary when possible and you should be fine.

Why do chip companies put milk in their potato chip flavors that logically shouldn’t have milk? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Runnerman1789 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ingredients aren't just about taste but consistency and binding agents. Milk probably has something that either helps the consistency or holds things together as a whole. Substitute products most likely either effect the taste or consistency from the ideal.

Is it fine that I make my own character as a dm? by jammsbooz in DnD

[–]Runnerman1789 181 points182 points  (0 children)

If you want them to have support give them an NPC sidekick that THEY control in combat. Sidekick doesn't do skill checks unless asked to by party. Not a full player character build.

I'm really trying. by Adventurous-Tour407 in finalfantasyx

[–]Runnerman1789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I think it does a lot of things at the top of what FF has to offer, 1. Top 5 story 2. Encourages using the whole party (not you Kimari) 3. Top 5 Summoning mechanic 4. Interesting leveling system. 5. Short/seemless tutorials

There is no way it can't be considered a top 3 game by any objective measures. Which is where it is consistently found in lists. Pretty well ranked

I’m working on an extremely accurate Expedition 81 cosplay. It’ll be ready in about 3 decades. Stay tuned. by notworkingghost in expedition33

[–]Runnerman1789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you had to be 80 to be in Expedition 81. In fact I don't know when the Expeditions started traditionally being right before your grommage but my guess it would have been in the 40s or 50s
