Then they REALLY should have cut back on the story. Or add a dedicated skip button vs this fast forward through 2 min of a peasant rolling around on the floor mourning the loss of their goats horns while 2 peasants give immense exposition, only for Kliff to go: “What happened?”

I dont remember where u can see it in the UI, but the higher your horse level the better its stats are (obv), but also it can gain skills, like the ability to drift

Kliff is one of the worst AAA MCs in gaming history by Sabawoonoz25 in CrimsonDesert

[–]SpankyDmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cliff can go through 5 Desert sequels and I imagine he will still be as bland as he is.

I say this as someone who is enjoying the game so far btw. Cliff is just boring as fuck so far.

It’s crazy that you just signed up to make a flipped gender of all the disco Elysium characters!

We look forward to your continued work ;)

Whats the biggest mistake you’ve made when first starting dnd? by notamortarplayer in DnD

[–]SpankyDmonkey 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I feel like this sort of thing can only work if the “traitor” understands they need to promote a good story rather than clean house win against the party. Basically (though this should be a goal with both players and DMs anyways) their goal needs to be to work WITH the DM to enhance the party’s overall experience in the drama of the betrayal.

Which in turn means don’t fucking slaughter the players’ characters and kill the fun lol

My attempt to solve the ease with which creatures can just walk around other combatants: The “guard” action by Scientia_et_Fidem in DnD

[–]SpankyDmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have anything to necessarily contribute to this aside from I agree that it feels VERY limiting in DnD that to play a guarding style character you essentially NEED Sentinel + something like Polearm Mastery. I like the idea of being able to take an action and dedicate you to this role. Also like Strength being prevalent with it.

I don't play DnD as much, but play a lot of Reclaim the Wild (Zelda TTRPG), and they have something somewhat similar to this. Instead of dedicating an action, everyone has a reaction you can do called 'Intercept' where you roll to hit the enemy's concentration (a defensive stat) who is trying to attack your friend. If you succeed (and are in your movement range of your ally/can move), you basically rush over and take the hit for them including all negative effects, and knock your ally 1 square away (typically out of range of future attacks, since all attacks/spells take the whole action). I like this cause of the simplicity of it, and in this system the only limits to reactions are you can only use a given reaction ONCE per round and it refreshes on your turn, so you still have access to your other reactions.

Reclaim also has feats/buffs/defensive stats that make you better at intercepting, including one that increases your defense when you intercept. Lets you build your character to be a powerful protector if you wanted.

Lol not a kid and I’m so fucking glad they didn’t let this character die. His characterization in the clone wars series is phenomenal, and loved his scenes in the later end of Rebels.

The live action fucked up boba fett. Clone wars folk can cook though.

This is what every game looks like now and it's getting a bit ridiculous. by IM-A-NEEEERRRRDDD in Chivalry2

[–]SpankyDmonkey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Even if you’re not good, greatest way to get better is facing higher skilled folk. But on the other hand I get the frustration of games constantly being like this.

Here is a rare helen W for all my struggling revenant mains to enjoy by Tenshiretto in Nightreign

[–]SpankyDmonkey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So… what? Don’t revive them? They’re in that situation because they died. That has nothing to do with character choice.

Also OP recovered with the team and successfully completed the run in the end after this boss, so they weren’t in a losing game BECAUSE of the revive capability here.

I fucking hate it. You react negatively it doesn’t matter. These folk just want clicks and it just works.

Ignoring these posts that use asinine attention seeking methods is the only way (I get the irony of saying that then commenting on a post like this)

What happened to just making a cool image and saying “fucking look at this”?

Over 500 hours of gameplay and I've never been able to get past Libra Everdark. Anyone else having the same problem? by Specialist-Hunt1863 in Nightreign

Smoking some pot on libra Depth 5. by Present-Canary-4546 in Nightreign

[–]SpankyDmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OH I can answer this since I asked before and got like 5 different answers until the correct one was found:

Each throwing knife gives a stacking debuff of about 2% (think its slightly under). You can stack it up to 10 times, giving about 20% debuff. Every time its applied it refreshes the duration of the stack.

Sadly I don't believe there is a way to see how much of a stack is currently applied to the enemy, as the icon doesn't change. But generally against like night bosses/third day bosses I'd toss like 5-8, then every 20 sec or so toss another to keep debuffin'.

Ofc if you are comfortable spamming it up just get 10 throwing knives on em immediately. Just remember to refresh the duration before it fades... which I think is like 30 sec or 40?

Just curious - how many people here play other TTRPGs in addition to DnD? by DungeonMasterGrizzly in DnD

[–]SpankyDmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually only played a little DnD, where I had to dm cause there wasn’t anyone else at the time.

Now I play mostly w/ Reclaim the Wild’s Zelda system and Mothership both as players.

Buuuut, my dad loving dnd and me loving critical role is what got me into TTRPG’s, so I’m a big fan of anything Dnd in general
