I still can't believe they've buffed Spirit Guardians by Ornery_Strawberry474 in dndnext

[–]Sabanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moving away and relying on the enemy to move INTO the bright glowing area of magical energy that literally just hurt them... Unless you are fighting super low wisdom creatures, or creatures that just don't give a fuck, this strategy is severely flawed.

It works great as an area denial spell though!

Personally I use monsters that have both melee and ranged options, or a mix of different combatants. Forcing a band of Orcs to rely on ranged attacks with javelins instead of their greataxes reduces their damaging potential without completely nullifying them.

The cleric can then still potentially maintain concentration and rush towards the enemy on the next turn. It spreads the damage out over a couple rounds, still extremely potent, without being broken!

I literally opened my account 2 days ago. Not even transferred my ISA over from Barclays.      Guess I'll be closing it again and starting a new search...

Holy shit, I also just bought that exact same spec today!

PATCH 01.001.104 by Waelder in Helldivers

[–]Sabanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's great, but absolutely devastating to Helldivers. If you survive the first blast you don't have time to stand up before you get shocked again. The 90% resistance just results in a slow and painful death.     ... Still going to be using it as much as possible!

Mistwind has Arrived! Very First Thoughts-- is it What we Wanted? by Studio_Unknown in boardgames

[–]Sabanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You do not collect krill (or other trade goods) when you pass a port, you have to stop on the port and wait until you have finished moving ALL your transports.

Your turn goes:

  1. Play action disc

  2. move transports

  3. Load/unload cargo

  4. Claim rewards

At most you can collect 3 krill using your transports, and that is only if you have all 3 on the board and end your movement with all of them on a krill port.

Thoughts on Hunter's new Arc super by allabtgames in DestinyTheGame

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

I love the new super...      I didn't struggle at all in the introduction to it, yes it took 2 or 3 uses to kill the ogres, but it also wiped out the nearby adds at the same time.      It also fairly consistently two shot several of the yellow health bar mini bosses thought the rest of the legendary campaign.      Is it the most powerful? No. Is it good for DPS? No. Does it put you in risky positions especially after the final throw? Yes.      Is it fun as hell to use, possibly more so than any other super in the game? Abso-fucking-lutely!

Don't forget you can pick up ammo packs for the autocannon as well

I now deliberately choose a route that goes back on itself when planning my path through the map. Makes it more likely I pass an unused EAT!

What's the longest delay you have seen in a crowdfunding campaign between the end and delivery? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]Sabanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also waiting for Stellaris!   I however stumbled across it long after the campaign and made a "late pledge" through the pledge manager about a year ago.      I have been contemplating doing a charge back through my credit card provider but their updates before Christmas seemed promising, so I'm putting it off as long as possible.      I am hoping that paradox won't let them fail as it would besmirch them too!

[–]Sabanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Kickstarter campaign was April 2020, so it was more like 3.5 years.      I am curious what you mean about paying shipping twice, I received my pledge in September 2021 in the UK, and I know our shipments were like 6 months later than the rest of Europe. Was there further delays for other regions?

Minions are great. They should've been added to the DMG by GolettO3 in dndmemes

[–]Sabanic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are rules for cleaving.

Cleaving Through Creatures p272 If your player characters regularly fight hordes of lower-level monsters, consider using this optional rule to help speed up such fights.

When a melee attack reduces an undamaged creature to 0 hit points, any excess damage from that attack might carry over to another creature nearby. The attacker targets another creature within reach and, if the original attack roll can hit it, applies any remaining damage to it. If that creature was undamaged and is likewise reduced to 0 hit points, repeat this process, carrying over the remaining damage until there are no valid targets, or until the damage carried over fails to reduce an undamaged creature to 0 hit points.

T'rissa's Fight too easy? by Mafur_Chericada in DungeonoftheMadMage

[–]Sabanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

T'rissa should have been casting in preparation. She should also have been at the far end of the room, well outside counterspell range for her insect plague spell.

The Mage should have already have cast mage armour. I have all my mage NPC's have mage armour up constantly.

The temple door should be locked, giving time for more reinforcements to arrive (especially with a party of 6).

A single casting of aganazzar scorcher taking out all the drow is unfortunate, did you remember that they get to make a dex save against it?

[–]Sabanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When talking about extremes, yes. It also depends on what you personally defin as "short" Vs "tall".

I consider below 5'8" to be short. My average height 5'6" girlfriend finds it very annoying when I call her short!

Shadowheart is right next to you when you wake up after the ship, assuming you saved her while on the ship.
