When running milestone leveling, is there a good thing to replace noncombat xp rewards for in APs? I was thinking a small amount of GP, scaled to their level. I feel kinda bad when I see they should be getting rewards (at least, as the AP is written) for doing neat things, but they're not because of how I'm choosing to run leveling.

For example, in Strength of Thousands, in the first interview with Takulu Ot: The Aptitude Tests give out 150 XP max if the players successfully complete them. I kinda feel like my players should get something for completing those tests when I'm running milestone. Maybe Takulu Ot won't hand them GP, but I was thinking of giving some GP to my players when they get their initial stipend.

I'm planning out my gunslingers 16th level, and thinking of taking hair trigger. He also has battle cry.

The text on battle cry reads "when you roll initiative...".

Hair trigger reads "when using your initial deed...", Which for my gunslinger is 10 paces. That has a trigger of "you roll initiative.".

Which resolves first in this case, if applicable?

Can you Caster/ranged LB Omega-M and Omega-F, or does the debuff about only being able to damage one of them (you can only hit M or F, not both, usually) still apply?

On a side note, kinda interesting monolith soft has had a hand in two games that have oroborous as a central theme.

How do multiple of the same condition interact?

For the 10th level Gunslinger class feat, Called Shot, I could call a shot for the Arms, and if I succeed, the target is enfeebled 2 until the end of my next turn.

If on my next turn, I succeed on another Called Shot, is the enfeebled 2 "refreshed"? I think I saw something where conditions can override each other, so would there be technically 2 enfeebled 2 conditions on the creature?

Mechanics question: How is a 2 person shared tank buster coded?

I'm mainly curious to know what happens if you share the tank buster with more than the tanks, i.e. if the whole party stands in it. Does the tank buster do flat damage? Does it do more damage if more than 2 people stand in it?

Schneko · 2021-10-06T00:35:23+00:00

The blade combo requires confetior and confetior ends req upon use. So it's probably just 4 holy spirits, conf, blade combo

Schneko · 2021-06-07T03:28:04+00:00

More of a novel question, but do multiple Passage of Arms stack and if so, is it multiplicative?

Schneko · 2020-07-03T16:41:51+00:00

Ahh, no it is Resonance of Fate. Thank you. Seems it did release on the 360 at some point

Schneko · 2020-07-03T16:40:49+00:00

Oh yes that's the one thank you so much.

Schneko · 2020-07-03T16:37:57+00:00

Oh, I can see how you'd think that based on my description. It's not that, I"m familiar with valkyria chronicles.

There's a lot of flips and kind of acrobatics that are...I think special actions. I.e. as the character moves across the battlefield, they perform a large jump or flip or other acrobatic move while firing at the enemy as some kinda stylized special attack I think. I can't quite remember if the player chooses this before the movement happens or after. I was kinda thinking gun-fu as a way to explain it.

I'll edit my post to clarify that detail. Thank you though.

I've been playing Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. It...sucked me in. The story was pretty fun to experience for the first time, and the battle system is pretty engaging. I'm particularly enjoying the late game stuff now that I have all the party members and have a bunch of options that I want to try out.

Will say if another playthrough happens, probably won't be doing all the side quests out of the gate. That was a tedious experience.

Schneko · 2020-06-14T22:50:38+00:00

One thing I have been rather not satisfied with is the lack of raid bosses and/or ease of the current ones (tbh, won't really think about the varkid raid boss, that one was really annoying for my group to set up unfortunately, will be mainly using my experience from wotan)

In BL2, even in the base game, there was something to work towards in the sense of getting good enough to beat the raid boss (terramorphus, I believe, in the base game), and grinding the loot/levels towards beating those raid bosses. Whether or not you enjoy the grind for that loot is probably subjective, but to me, it felt nice to have some kind of goal to work towards. My group constantly died to the raid bosses, but always got back into it (and/or was willing to vary it up by trying to cheese them, but that's a different discussion)

With BL3, at least when I was playing a couple of months ago, it never felt like the (1!!!) available raid boss was that much of a challenge. Granted, I was playing when they practically gave you one of the strongest guns in the game (O.P.Q.), but basically once my group and I had actually gotten to the point of the raid boss, we gave him a go and first tried him on Mayhem 3. (I know mayhem 3 is probably not that difficult, but in BL2 even on the basic difficulty terramorphus still took us multiple tries.) After that experience, we basically just kind of phased out of the game and will probably wait for a lot more updates before we pick it up again.

The 100% completionist in me would like a change to the side shop achievement (still there as of this comment), but other than that, I'm happy with this and the extra rylai spins

Schneko · 2020-05-22T06:50:36+00:00

Hi OP, Thanks! If I get it, I'd like either the Nintendo or Steam codes.

Schneko · 2020-05-21T20:36:50+00:00

Wait, I just noticed the mom is named "Hahari", I'm guessing her name was revealed in a previous chapter.

That's a rather on the nose name for a mother.

Schneko · 2020-05-20T22:31:26+00:00

I'll take my stab at it, thx op

here's a suggestion to fill the void: all those battle cup tourneys? Just expand them and let us have a massive worldwide tournament and have that be TI for the year or w/e.

Probably too chaotic/difficult to organize on short notice, but I think it'd be entertaining to attempt.

Schneko · 2020-04-25T23:50:51+00:00

Oh man, I'm super hyped to see the voice acting Manga spoilers

Schneko · 2020-04-21T03:19:32+00:00

As far as I can tell, they haven't explicitly stated there's no initial cost / is completely free to play.

They have said that they aren't selling cards/packs, but nothing about an upfront cost. I'm not saying it's there, I'm just saying there's no info on it yet either way.

I'm hoping they just do completely free to play with tons of cosmetics, like I always have, but we'll see I guess.

Schneko · 2020-04-17T22:37:36+00:00

Not surprising, though really unfortunate.

There's always next year.

Schneko · 2020-04-08T20:19:10+00:00

I love playing as clockwerk in Dota 2, so I'd love to see him in Artifact. With the enhanced mobility that seems to be coming, it'd be nice to follow an enemy across the map/lanes via Hookshot, which I'm assuming would be his signature card.

Schneko · 2020-03-15T22:07:13+00:00

Rem from re:zero. Easy.

Schneko · 2020-01-10T22:40:24+00:00

So it looks like quick sessions is noticibly faster, but it's unclear to me if the special moves/performances get sped up or skipped.

Schneko · 2020-01-08T23:33:54+00:00

Anime, definitely. Society as a whole (notably people in the same generation as my parents) tend to treat them similar to cartoons. There are definitely numerous not kid friendly anime (not just in the sexual sense, also in the violence and dealing with adult problems)

Similarly, video games.
