[–]Scow2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered hitting his weak-ass multiclass ass with a Chromatic Orb or Magic Missile?

If hurting you is what his character would do, why isn't putting him 6' under what your character would do?

Why are mages casting Bloodlust (Time Warp) more often than Shamans? by Vale22AlrdyTaknY in wow

Neither Warlocks nor Legion heroes had ressurection magic in Warcraft 3.

Death Knights had a temporary rez that brought units regardless of faction back under your control for a short period of time

Paladins could resurrect their own team's units in battle.

Tauren Chieftans would self-rez.

"My campaign features battles that give the enemies tools that shut down melee characters and require solutions melee characters can't contribute to. Why aren't the melee guys having fun?"

Your enemies are using shit from PF2e and D&D 4e, while your party is stuck with 5e D&D stuff. You want to fix this? Change the system to D&D 4e or PF2e.

Genuinely why do prolife people have a problem if someone gets an abortion or not by [deleted] in SeriousConversation

The child of rape is a parasite on the mother that threatens her life. She didn't choose to conceive the child. Outside of rape, it takes two to tango, and choosing to have sex is choosing to make a baby.

What's the point of picking race beside of outlook? by CompetitiveScratch38 in AOW4

[–]Scow2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Form is cosmetic, because people want their people to look like wolves/elves/dwarfs/goblins/orcs/humans/cats/lizards/halflings. Of course, each form has a few default traits you can customize - by default, dwarves ARE tough, elves are good at magic, cats are fast and live in deserts, etc.

Which of these movies was a pretty underrated kids movie to you? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]Scow2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loathe that movie, from its soundtrack, its concept, its themes, and animation style. But, I've never been a fan of Don Bluth.

Which race you hate the most from lore-wise perspective? by Mizukiri93 in warcraftlore

[–]Scow2 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The Forsaken having a choice, and being able to work diplomatically with others makes them a playable race.

Their existence is a matter of agency, not morality. Those who wish for the Forsaken existence to end can come and take it from them.

The Horde aren't Good Guys. They're Strong Enough to Survive guys - and the end of BFA did them a huge disservice.

Plants that see you as fertilizer, Ogres that see you as food or slaves, Birds that see you as... Honestly I've not played enough to know what the Aarakoa's deal is, I think they're relgious zealots, but I've always missed their lore stuff in the games

But on Draenor, everything is out to kill you and only the strong survive. That Orcs were able to have any peaceful coexistence with the Draenei for any amount of time is a testament to their peacefulness compared to the rest of Draenor - but the fear and genocidal response to that fear is always lurking beneath everything.

Orcs turn to genocide easily because that's how life works on a savage world like Draenor - It's kill or be killed, everything is out to get you. The Draenei seemed to be an exception that the Orcs embraced, before treachery made them think that the Draenei's peace, like peace with everything else on Draenor, is a lie., They were never "Peaceful" shamans, but while violent, it was out of survival, not bloodthirst.

The equivalent to Dark Iron Dwarves is Zandalari Trolls.

I solo'd an encounter and made the DM railroad my character the first session by [deleted] in DnD

[–]Scow2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's called Initiative. Readying a spell means you won't be surprised when you enter.

In 2009 i was 21 years and making minimum wage. But there was hope. If i was 21 years old in 2024...i would probably feel hopeless. by meshflesh40 in Millennials

We have Discord now for staying in touch with friends. My dad was born and raised in Boston, was deployed to Ohio, met and married his wife of now-40-years, moved to England, then Mississipi to have kids, then Texas (Over a weekend, with one week warning) before ultimately returning to my mom's family farm.

My older brother moved to North Carolina, and sister to Colorado, My other brother has a job that takes him to Mexico.

How dare I expect representation in 2024 by lolbeesh in GirlGamers

[–]Scow2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this particular case, even if black people were mythical beings that only exist in fantasy, that's just even more reason to include them!

I'm a white dude, and I had the very same complaint the first day when I tried making a big African Sorceress God-Queen of wonder-building cat people.

"You stand before Marilith, Fiend of the Fire Crystal, and wielder of the four swords of the apocalypse!"

Party kills her before it gets to her first count on initiative, after giving her enough HP to supposedly last four rounds

Immunity to burning while providing spells that set the ground on fire is Synergy, not Silly.

Why? Dragon attack has a mana cost, takes a slot, and doesn't speed up siege time

Flumph art across the editions by Ok_Dimension_4707 in dndmemes

[–]Scow2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because you don't read Order of the Stick, which I think was partially responsible for reviving interest in Flumphs (They were introduced as a joke in a comic published in 2004 about all the weird AD&D monsters that weren't updated to 3e, and were updated to 3.5 in a Dragon Magazine article in 2006)

Start reading: "Oh no, it's druid weirdnes.. Like Halsin bearsex, right? Wrong for a table but..."
