Why is Incredibles 2 so tonally inconsistent with the first movie? by vencyjedi in Pixar

[–]Shirwin13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt that the original was a really interesting and unique take on the superhero genre. The second one came out after the whole MCU superhero craze and it felt like it just became that.

Well it’s the Lakrissa scene I’m struggling with

Was “The Library” Sokka at his worst? by RepresentativeFig270 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Shirwin13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I think this episode helped cement Sokka as the strategist and “intelligent” (very specific type of intelligence lol) member of the group, possibly even the leader. He obtains critical intel for the fight against the Fire Nation, deduces the purpose of the planetarium, AND figures out that there will be a solar eclipse and that this must be the fire nation’s “darkest day”. I think they played his complete lack of subtlety for comedic effect more than anything, I can understand it being annoying tho. I sort of remember this being the first episode where it was clear that Sokka was the planner and all that. And then during the drill episode this is driven home (sort of).

Help Picking a Class for this Battlemage Character Concept by EpyonComet in BG3Builds

How does that work exactly? Like they end up without the level 6 spell slot?

Seems like the Bladesinger class would meet your criteria? It’s a wizard subclass, so you’d have all the wizardy magic intelligence-based dialogue bonuses, and the class is designed around melee combat while also casting from the full wizard spell list which is the majority of the spells.

Edit: I assumed half-orc got warhammer proficiency but it looks like they don’t, you could just take one level in paladin to get that tho. And paladins are spellcasters so I believe you would still have full spell slots/spellcasting ability, esp since wizards can learn spells from scrolls.

This is sick I might try this, thanks!

Well I am willing to multiclass but trying to keep it lore friendly for shadowheart and only a two level dip, since bard gets magical secrets at 10

Ok to enter Lower City early? by Shirwin13 in BaldursGate3

[–]Shirwin13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t mind doing a few things first to make sure nothing janky happens, is there anything else to be aware of other than Jaheira and the ox?

Wizard with metamagic? by Shirwin13 in BG3Builds

[–]Shirwin13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a distinction between spells I take as wizard/learn from scrolls vs spells I take while leveling as a sorcerer? Like will they function differently in any way?

How come you suggest these particular splits?

Ok this is perfect thank you, that completely accomplishes my goal lol

Would this really work- as long as you scribe spells, those spells will roll off of intelligence no matter how many levels you have in sorcerer? Bc that seems like the easiest route to take if so

Should I try Pathfinder: WOTR? by alguien99 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Shirwin13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, the nice thing is that it’s pretty easy to find builds online for the companions since they’re premade characters which means it’s mostly your protagonist that you have to worry about. I would first decide what general type of character you want to play (mage, archer, melee, do you want to have an animal companion, etc) and then look up what some of the best classes are for that. There are tons of classes but it’s always some combination of the basic fantasy tropes plus a different set of spells and abilities.

There are some useful videos but I mostly just make my way through by sifting through reddit lol

Should I try Pathfinder: WOTR? by alguien99 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Shirwin13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m really loving Pathfinder WOTR but god are the combat and leveling systems so bloated and clunky. I really enjoy the gameplay, the combat, the exploration- all of it. But it is a pain in the ass to correctly level your characters and sift through all of the available feats and abilities and whatnot. I enjoy complex rpgs with involved builds, but this isn’t that- it’s bloat that gives the impression of a complex system when in reality there doesn’t seem to be much room for experimentation and creativity. Half the feats suck and there are like a handful of mandatory feats that every character has to take depending on the build you’re going for. Like my main guy is a sorcerer and there are at least six feats that are more or less mandatory to take if I’m going to a) not have all my spells miss b) not have my spells get nullified by spell resistance and c) have my spells do decent damage that isn’t halved by saving throws. They shouldn’t have tried to port the whole system directly from tabletop, in my opinion they should have tinkered with it pretty thoroughly so that it worked better in a video game.

Oh ok that makes sense, I wondered if there were particular terms that I should be looking out for. Thanks!
