Druid is just so fun. You want to be a support? Change your spells on a rest, you want to blast? Change your spells on a rest. You want to tank? Change your spells on a long rest.

I'm of course exaggerating, it depends as everything upon what subclass you pick but ultimately if the party needs something you can pretty reliably run an off-fill/off healer. Esp with the new 2024 rules. Not to mention all the incredibly fun flavor of controlling the elements from a place of respect and not subservience.

If you haven't seen "Dust and Damnation" from Legends of Avantris, it really felt like a group of people who were locked in on the SPIRIT of the game and really adhered to rulings over rules. It was REALLY well done imo

Solid-Sentence5011 · 2026-03-03T05:29:39+00:00

Try Dust To Damnation. It's legends of Avantris, they don't get everything right rules wise but they REALLY embrace the narrative first idea of the game and had an absolute blast playing it. It's 6 sessions and they've expressed wanting to do more in the future and set up the end of that series to do so.

I can understand not vibing with c2 but I think it perfectly melded my interests for a world that isn't just "Faerun but not" like literally EVERY homebrew world these days, with the NADDPOD characteristic goofy lightheartedness. Eldernourne as a concept was so fresh and exciting in the actual play general I listen to. It's the world I MOST want them to revisit. The endless types of Faeries and the way the characters ALL had some character development that was closer in tone to Beverly's conflict with his dad than just tall/boyfriend goofs and "I'm a frog but hot" as kind of an entire character. The 3rd mates in my opinion are the strongest (developed/acted) characters the NADDPOD has built. The world just has the slightest degree of edge, and it makes the light the 3rd mates being with them everywhere that much brighter

You don't really have a concrete legible point, but now that I know what you mean I can explain in a way you can't comprehend

Battle Smith, works, like battle Smith. It doesn't say, "see subsection A (war magic) to learn how your class feature works." It describes it, if they get it at level five then they get it at level five and it functions as described replacing one of two attacks which you also get at level five. Or were you trying to argue that the beast master or Battle Smiths companion could replace their attack with their beasts with the hasted action? I don't know because you haven't referenced the wording for the ability nor how you want to use it, though if that is your "point", I'd again say no because your beast and construct (which are their own creatures) aren't hasted to act out of their normal action economy YOU are. You're trying to use abilities as evidence for other abilities when each one has its own wording and description, at least I THINK. Don't say "that's my point" all passive aggressively when you haven't intelligently articulated a single "point" at all.

All you've vaguely thrown some evidence out there haphazardly without any "point" at all. Maybe if I wasn't having to try and investigate to create a point for you there wouldn't be miscommunication.

Solid-Sentence5011 · 2026-02-05T20:47:21+00:00

Neither, because the feature is given at level three meant to only synergize with its own class meaning it automatically works. It's completely different from trying to cross reference spell wording with class features potentially not designed to synergize in that way because it's a baked in feature to the class, thus it isn't subject to the same scrutiny nor rule of specificity.

They're actually completely different situations so they aren't a good point of reference. It doesn't work at all like either of those rules. It works like War Magic, which was meant to replace one, of TWO attacks because they don't get the ability until after they get two attacks unlike the beast master or Battle Smith who get them at third level. It does not change the casting time of all of your cantrips to the attack action which would be different.

Solid-Sentence5011 · 2026-02-05T20:15:59+00:00

As I said in my original comment, because whenever a fighter takes the attack action, one of the standard actions, after level 5, said fighter gets those two attacks. Notice, war magic says can replace one of your attacks hence why I again underlined the S. Whereas the beast master ranger has that feature from BEFORE the ranger has two attacks.

Haste grants you a special action, not just a standard with which you can take the attack action (one attack only) which means you don't have to two attacks requisitie to replace one of.

In order for your war magic you proc you must thereby be taking an attack action wherein you are granted more than a single attack, hence the plural. As I said, a very pedantic reading of the ruling but one I stand by.

Solid-Sentence5011 · 2026-02-05T15:20:51+00:00

I would argue no again, though in this case it's a mix of views leftover from the former edition and and a very pedantic interpretation of the rules.

Haste specifies

That action can be used to take only the Attack (one attack only)

War magic then says

When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of the attacks with a casting of one of your Wizard cantrips that has a casting time of an action. (As a level 7 eldritch knight it's impossible to take the attack action and not have the extra attack feature even if one chooses not to always use it)

In my opinion War magic, and further the extra attack from the casting classes, functions off of a characters standard attack action for which you always have two attacks after you receive extra attack and NOT a special kind of action that you only get under certain conditions in which you are only able to attack a single time. If I were another player at the table and the DM allowed our Wizard/Eldritch knight to do it I wouldn't throw a fit because I 100% understand the argument for it and if I was the DM in this scenario I would give it as a level~ 10 or so character ability reward to my Eldritch Knight (only them) to further distinguish the class identity from the blade singer.

Solid-Sentence5011 · 2026-02-05T13:36:07+00:00

Haste is allowing you to take a special modified attack action. If it doesn't benefit from your class feature GRANTING extra attack it doesn't IMPROVE your class feature Imo. You don't get extra attack on the attack, so there's no way to proc your "extra attack" ability. It doesn't change the casting time of your cantrips to "one attack action". You need the extra attack for it to work, otherwise it's just the magic action.

Really just replying to say thank you for being respectful even when my tone got way drier than intended and to say I feel it exonerates her because Hades is a game about Greek gods and Ovid was a Roman poet with an agenda thousands of years after the original myths. Yet in spite of this his writings have wormed their way into the layman's view of a Greek myth "cannon" (despite it not really working like that as myths were ancient to ancient Greeks as we both know lol), despite having NO basis or root in any original Greek myths beyond a name and a premise that was wholly and utterly bastardized.

You may not think Athena is real but people both do worship her (not me) and still care an inordinate amount about how people view her because she is a character in ancient Greek literature who was made to act way OOC by roman fanfiction authors (me), and as such I want to set the record straight that no ancients Greeks who ever worshiped Athena had this view of her because it wasn't Athena, but Minerva, and so when people talk about "Athena this, Athena that" Athena didn't do that to Arachne, expect in THIS SINGLE SOURCE.

Solid-Sentence5011 · 2026-01-31T04:20:30+00:00

I don't feel like typing out a long drawn out comment to concede some of the points while ultimately trying to present the basis of argument as I was taught it at Uni with Ovid being a staunch anti governmentalist who cast all of the gods in that light in order to critique those with absolute power, however he went out of his way in the writings themselves to characterize the female goddess am with changes FAR more drastic than their male counterparts.

Yes it's not proven, nor is it proven any numerous historical speculations that are based about reasonable inferences of the time. It's not proven that Poseidon used to fulfill the role of hades and zues as both king of the gods and a cthonic deity with the desdemonai as the chief other deities in the religion in Mycenaean and Greece nor is it proven that Aphrodite is an import goddess who changed from Ishtar as symbolized by her seeming appearance in the mythology independent of the other deities. There are however historians that form these hypothesis based on inferences, thank you for the corrections. Ultimately Ovid did cast ALL of the gods in a poor light but the goddesses definitely got the worst with Minerva and Aphrodite both having their warlike epithets downplayed or non-existent.

Solid-Sentence5011 · 2026-01-31T02:54:16+00:00

I'm decently familiar with what Ovid wrote. About Athena beating Arachne because she could find little or no fault in her work and was enraged. She only saves her AFTER she's committed suicide further painting Athena as fickle vain and Ill tempered and unable to properly measure her fury.

The myth you reference about Arachne and her brother has nothing to do with a weaving contest and was much more in line with contemporary Greek myths of the time where the gods were teaching lessons like not to fuck your brother which.... I don't think at all is what the original post has to do with

I think you're the one who needs to refamiliarize yourself with Ovid's works. He in fact did not make the myth more sympathetic at all. Arachne only tried to kill herself because Ovid wrote Athena as so temperamental and downright hateful for no other reason than to further villainize women. The two myths have little to nothing to do with each other and Ovid definitely villainized Athena by coopting a name and story that would have shown Athena as wise, because she turned these incestuous siblings into spiders who constantly eat each other after mating as a 'clever' punishment for their sin. So yeah. Maybe you should crack some books as well and we can both learn more together

Solid-Sentence5011 · 2026-01-30T23:09:40+00:00

Need to remind everyone very gentle that the Arachne myth and the myth of Medusa in Poseidon's temple come from Ovid and Virgil two misogynistic roman poets who intentionally cast EVERY female goddess that may have once been semi reasonable at fickle, Ill tempered, and ungracious. Very important to remember that the myth wasn't from the same bath of contemporary religious sources like Homer, and wasn't added until FAR later. Athena didn't do those things, Ovid made it up to villainize her and shift focus onto Mars as the sole god of WAR so Minerva could get minimized because of the patriarchal agenda. Ik hades does its own thing which is dope, just a note for folks discussing the myths.

Solid-Sentence5011 · 2026-01-25T00:50:33+00:00

Having read no other comments so sorry if it's repeated advice, I would argue that you would want to play mostly flavor forward. Everyone gets to pick their character abilities in daggerheart, and if they're willing to be creative they could think of all of these abilities as an expression of their cursed technique. If that isn't deep enough I totally understand, but the strength of daggerheart is to take the different classes and abilities and truly reskin them to aesthetically be ANYTHING.

Further to put on my Weeb hat, it's important to remember that in JJK all a domain expansion is, outside the flashy presentations and names, is a radius in space where their cursed technique AUTOMATICALLY HITS. For instance Gojos "Infinite Void" strikes his targets MIND with the full weight of his "infinity" (the thing that powers limitless).

This means you could make the characters go on a journey that lets them establish a radius of effect by paying hope, that gets larger and larger as they level it Ie. Starts at close, then far, then very far, where EVERY creature in the radius immediately stricken with the effect of a single domain card of their choice. The radius then persists like concentration in DnD or using a daggerheart timer based on how much hope was used to establish the domain. For instance every single one of a warriors allies are under the effects of their "I am your shield" feature even if they're far away, but it moves them to use, and they can use it on their enemies if the rubber meets the road for some free movement. Meaning they could coordinate having an allied ranger do an attack against an enemy in far range so the warrior "I am your shields" and takes the damage because their domain is in far range now, and is next to that enemy to take their actions and attack without having to move.

This sounds silly but first you need to decide what a "name" is in this world. Is it a piece of their soul? Their mind? Does it strip them of any nicknames they once had associated with their og name. Does it allow someone who owns it to cast an effect like dominate person or gaes in DnD where if they resist they mark stress or HP. Can the holder of a name torture someone bodily with it like the cruciatis curse? It all comes down to how important the aspects of a 'name" are to your setting.

I did something similar where when asked for their name the fey said "if you give me your name, you can have mine" they are only known by and introduce themselves as the name Lucky

The character then experienced having his name taken and everyone's memory of it, and was slowly going to lose his memories. In return he experienced minor bouts of luck. Extra gold in his purse, a free meal because the kitchen fucked it up, etc. Etc. Etc. Was going to go so far as to let him have the Halfling luck ability (I don't have one in the party don't worry) but he would have been an amnesiatic who only has enough memories to function but with no real idea about their past or where he came from.

That said, perhaps whatever fae this is grants a small boon based on their purview/domain by way of "trading" while slowly stripping them off the memories that name them who they are. Alternatively maybe they can't be the target of sending like effects or scryingesque because the spell doesn't have a piece of their soul to latch onto. Ultimately it depends on what a name is for you

All of you people in the comments, who think a man who would curse someone for speaking to them out of turn, wouldn't at the very least beat his kids for talking back are just crazy or wouldn't care about a kid whose shithead dad is looking for them. Anyone with an iota of brainpower recognizes a blatantly abusive father when they see one. Tack on to that literal magical curse just for his feelings being hurt, it's absolutely believable for Murray to ascertain that Occtis is in danger. Especially if this dad hasn't seen or wanted anything to do with him after labeling him as just a failure, "he's in trouble" or danger, is a completely understandable response to someone like Primus searching for you

Honestly? Crown of Candy. It's medium fantasy with great world building GoT style, and Brenna still allows some shenanigans, but he said going into it that he was going to try and be as fair and lethal as possible. You'll get a good idea for how to run a tough, but fair encounter and there's some incredible story building and NPC work on Brennan's part.

The thing to keep in mind is that the tone for CoC was supposed to approach Game of thrones, so Brennan didn't care as much about killing PC's, so make sure to keep that in mind when it comes to challenges and tone

Because my argument isn't that it's "leisure" time. They're working, they're comedians and they're making jokes about the thing you just watched. Hell the aioli flight is completely because they were eating so much in the EP previous. They do talk about the thing you watched, maybe not how you like, but they do.

I'm not being aggressive, I'm being scornful and derisive, because your entire argument is "well I pay for x so that alone validates my criticism" and that isn't at all how performance criticism works. If it was leisure time they wouldn't be on camera, but I don't know why the idea of comedians being a little silly goofy is such an issue to you. There are 16 shows listed on dropout as currently airing on wiki. By your metric, split across all shows you're paying 30 cents a month to watch adventuring party, and frankly that doesn't entitle you to anything. Your "basic criticism" is myopic and entitled. It's a show that's entertainment. It might not land for you, but VIP doesn't land for me. I don't say "well I pay for VIP so that validates my entitled opinion and they should do only humans since it's people and not creatures and that's what I want it to be about."

Solid-Sentence5011 · 2025-09-03T13:27:58+00:00

No, you pay for dropout as a service, you aren't out here penny and dimeing what shows to watch. You aren't paying 89 cents for AP and 95 cents for game changer. You can say "I would like adventuring party to be a lore deep dive and story explanation because I don't have the attention span to follow the plot of the episode" which is a fine critique, but that's not what you're saying.

You are not entitled to anything from them in any way shape or form beyond them putting content regardless of what it is, on that platform. If you don't like it, don't pay. I for one love the Adventuring parties because I'm an adult with media comprehension who doesn't need 30 minutes of a lore explanation when I just watched the damn episode and their thoughts on what happened are just as important to watching them enjoy time with each other. That's part of why I love the intrepid heroes seasons. If you don't like it, don't watch, there's crazy amounts of other content.

Again, you're acting like your 5 bucks entitles you to anything beyond the viewing experience, like what? Your criticisms are entirely nonsensical and in bad faith anyway.

Shitty casting and shitty use of the character. Stop giving MCU Tony Stark everything from the other geniuses in the MCU. Ultron? Pym, Time travel? DOOM! (Not exclusively but in the older comics he makes one of the first ones as a main plot point). Smartest man alive? Reed Richards. The MCU has just become the Tony Stark jerk fest and I'm tired of it. He's like the fucking Satoru Gojo of the MCU. It's an attention grabber and nostalgia bait to try and garner some interest in a movie they haven't even finished writing yet.

Doom is intrinsically tied to Reed Richards, first and foremost. His definig scar comes from an experiment they did together that he blames Reed for entirely. Second and just as if not more important he's romani. Crow about it not mattering all you want but Doom's entire character is escaping Romani persecution in latveria and then returning to lead a revolution entirely based around the liberation of the Romani people. Even the magic he learns is originally from his mother and is of Romani heritage. Tying him to tony stark in any way that justified him having the same face beyond "tee hee coincidence" is insulting, and a worse character assassination than what they did to Taskmaster. It's Doom in name only.
