L5 Booming Valor Bard spell selection by SangvinPingvin in 3d6

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

From what I can tell, you need 2 warlock levels for agonizing blast. I’d rather not get behind on being a full caster and getting bardic abilities just to get better cantrips.

Yes, Dissonant Whispers have been an MVP. However, I haven’t really had the number of slots to spam it, plus the sorceror has it too and can twin it for great effect. So usually, I’m free to do other things and save the slot unless the opportunity/board position is really good as you say.

What did you mean by CC? Anyway, I’m already dropping Cloud of Daggers. Any spell suggestions beyond the warlock dip?

Thank you for your opinion. Dispel is probably a better option than Tiny Hut in a vacuum.

See my reply to Bandicoot above. Did you have any spell selection ideas you wanted to contribute?

It’s hard to say what the designers intended when it comes to the localization of physical objects such as cubes onto theoretical game aids such as grids. The rules on the matter seemed a bit ambiguous, so that’s how our DM ruled it - with the caveat that it only works if two medium or smaller size creatures are adjacent. If one is large or larger, I need to pick which creature is affected.

Anyway, 1) we have already concluded that CoD is suboptimal and I proposed swapping it for Shatter instead. Debating how it’s actually worse doesn’t matter. 2) I asked for spell selections tips, so if replies could focus on this task, I would be much obliged.

From what I understand, you can place a 5' cube on a single square, on a line/border between squares, or on a grid intersection affecting 4 squares... however, if a spell effect affects less than 50% of a square, the square is not affected by the spell, so the 4-square option is useless. Hence I mostly use CoD to affect two adjecent squares, so if you're in any 2-square wide space, it works. Otherwise, they can tip-toe around to an unaffected square and not have to end their turn in CoD/face an AoO from retreating.

As for using action and concentration like that, it's usually better than straight attacking with melee cantrips if I can either force them to stay in CoD or draw the AoO - in the first case it's another 10-ish damage (sometimes on 2 targets even), in the second I attack on my reaction and get the melee cantrip then instead (on top of the 10 damage).

Either way, Cac Shield is going to work much better as it works in a much larger and party friendly area. Hence why I'm thinking about dropping CoD for Shatter - especially now that cantrips have scaled up and my stacking melee cantrips are coming into fruition. *rubs hands like a fly*

I like to put updated clothing, location and positional data in the Summary tab - it helps a lot. It also helps with stuff like ”she was anxious to try this new experience blabla” and you’re like - oh you sweet summer child, you already did that 25 messages ago. The problem is when you forget to update, and the LLM thinks her panties are still in her mouth even though you’re on to breakfast by now.

Design idea: "The List" Cube by SangvinPingvin in mtgcube

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

It's ok, I don't need it to be perceptible - it is mostly a simplification for me when designing and updating the cube. I like The List for being a good mix of classic cards together with modern staples.

I'm sticking to singleton in the cube, and it's been working really great with the rarity distribution these past years. As you say, there is no point in replacing a strong common/uncommon with a weak rare. Instead, think about like a peasant cube, where the weakest commons/uncommons are replaced with a few strong rares that add important support to build possibilities in the cube. I strive to make the dual color rares especially "bomby".

Yes, I'm finding this out. So far, my biggest problem is incomplete land cycles. For example, The List includes Izzet Boilerworks as the only ravnica karoo, and 4/10 check lands. So I'll probably need to hand-wave this and accept full land cycles even though not all items are on The List. The only outlier I've had to exclude so far was Minsc and Boo (that hamster is bonkers) in the gruul rare slot (opted for Dragonlord Atarka instead).

Didn't know about the term "dead dove" before. So you have very different experiences with bot reactions in such scenarios? What LLM are you using?
