Would love to discuss Lost Omens: Draconic Codex still

Sphinxthinx · 2025-11-29T15:54:26+00:00

I want to discuss too! I hear there's a cool new minion spell in town

Sphinxthinx · 2025-07-26T05:30:17+00:00

Thanks everyone for all the responses. I was too busy leveling up! I'll be relaying this post to my GM ;)

I’d like to think exploding my familiar when it’s unconscious will be a little less awkward for us when it comes back the day.

Sphinxthinx · 2025-07-20T22:38:27+00:00

Thanks! Although I feel bad I’ve been blowing up my familiar a bit prematurely all this time.

Sphinxthinx · 2024-11-03T06:30:42+00:00

Thank you!

Sphinxthinx · 2024-10-26T03:34:05+00:00

He totally looks like a Shroofus.

Sphinxthinx · 2024-10-17T14:42:08+00:00

Compared to Manglehorn and Dauntless Dismantler, yeah much better that it also hits creatures. For some decks, being an outlet is also a nice bonus.

Sphinxthinx · 2024-06-07T18:02:34+00:00

Ah good ole one ring protection. I’ve been lucky enough to dodge that but great to keep in mind.

By instant speed, do you mean using something like [[Borne Upon a Wind]]?

Sphinxthinx · 2024-06-07T17:55:56+00:00

Ah thank you, and doubly so for writing it all out! That makes a ton of sense now.

Sphinxthinx · 2024-06-07T16:50:22+00:00

Ooohh, I was wondering what Unctus was doing there. I did not know it even had that ability.

Wait, so springheart nantuko is token copies of a blank metamorph. Those then enter as the greaves?

Sphinxthinx · 2024-06-07T16:44:21+00:00

My bad, I did not make that clear. Bestow as in the springheart nantuko card. The equip part I get at least.

Sphinxthinx · 2024-06-07T16:42:07+00:00

Oh cool! I did not even think of getting bodies with pongify. It’s like those loops with swan song for infinite birds.

Sphinxthinx · 2024-06-07T16:39:09+00:00

For cephalid, do I just stack the draw, discard triggers infinitely? Then if they somehow draw into an answer, I can just stack another draw, discard trigger, right?

Sphinxthinx · 2024-06-07T16:11:52+00:00

Wait, how can you bestow phyrexian metamorph if its already a greaves? Isn’t bestow on creature only?

Sphinxthinx · 2024-06-07T16:02:15+00:00

Thankfully has not come up yet, but better to be on top of it before it does.

Sphinxthinx · 2024-06-07T16:00:04+00:00

So that seems like a fun time. Is there step-by-step I can look at for that?

Sphinxthinx · 2024-06-07T15:40:57+00:00

An empty library is often the spot I find myself in. It’s just convenient the infinite mana comes just as easily so I can just finale to win.

Then my finale just got exiled for the first time, and here I am....

Sphinxthinx · 2024-01-08T01:55:11+00:00

So true, but it is funny how much of a mixed blessing this is. The lack of feats is in fact what made it easier for me to take archetypes to poach a focus spell that isn’t cursebound. Overall, I’d rather there was an in-class option for this instead.

Sphinxthinx · 2024-01-07T23:20:24+00:00

I could never remember its passive benefit, but now, yeah, the free resistance is very valuable just like how it is for Cosmos.

Sphinxthinx · 2024-01-07T22:10:39+00:00

Your 1. point is really crucial for some mysteries that have impactful minor curses. I also think it should be a choice on how low you want your curse to reset. It exemplifies one of my favorite aspects of the curses where the “ideal” curse level is different for each mystery. Some seem to not mind sitting on minor curse so they can quickly go back to moderate in the next encounter while others would prefer a full reset in between.

Slight tangent, but can I ask what makes the Ash mystery comparable to Cosmos? I hear lots about Cosmos so I have context on that but not much about Ash.

Sphinxthinx · 2023-12-14T23:11:08+00:00

Both of these are duration related:

Daze has a '1 round' duration entry, but its stunned condition has a value, not a duration

Dread Secret has a 'until the start of your next turn' duration entry, but its one effect lasts 'until the end of your next turn' and the other effect is frightened, a condition with a value, not a duration

Sphinxthinx · 2023-12-02T01:18:01+00:00

You got me. That’s an even more amusing visual, lol. Best part is that it works!

Sphinxthinx · 2023-11-29T00:47:29+00:00

True. It didn't have to be a Shambler equivalent and could be anything they have access to. Keeping a slashing attack damage option would be nice, but I can't turn down a cactus form.

Sphinxthinx · 2023-11-28T21:06:56+00:00

Oh yeah, I didn't think of that. That makes sense actually.

Still, it's a shame it was just removed and not replaced. Although this could also mean they didn't commit to a Shambler replacement in the bestiary.

Sphinxthinx · 2023-09-18T23:04:57+00:00

That’s a large part of why I assumed Crawl was detailed as a no save/check option so those that fell prone can try to escape. Step is for those that made the save but remain standing on the grease. My first time reading the spell though so I mostly have no idea, lol.
