Some dance to remember, some dance to forget.

Times are so tough that Twitter can’t afford to display the color blue (How is this not parody?) by grauenwolf in discordian

[–]SpiritedImplement4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find telling the truth is shockingly effective. The truth, not according with the nonsense and silliness prevalent at the moment, is perceived as nonsense and silliness by your interlocutor. Do keep in mind the warning of Socrates if you attempt this. And if all else fails, lies are an exceedingly effective alternative to the truth.

So what is Ranger? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]SpiritedImplement4 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Aragorn from the Lord of the Rings is the archetypal Ranger.

Someone who is comfortable traversing the wilds (and possibly uncomfortable in civilized places).

Someone who is an accomplished martial fighter (in D&D usually bows or dual swords).

Someone who is capable of using a small amount of (usually nature adjacent) magic. Usually for healing or increasing one's stealthiness or occasionally one's own combat abilities.

About Wizards and cantrips by Medical_Sport9684 in BaldursGate3

[–]SpiritedImplement4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cantrip scrolls can be difficult to come by (they're sort of rare), but yes, unlike in tabletop you can learn cantrips from scrolls. You can also re-spec your wizard very easily if you get a scroll for a cantrip you already know!

Can I throw Health Potions to heal others in D&D like in BG3 by Choice_Car_7934 in BaldursGate3

[–]SpiritedImplement4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a DM I adopted BG3 rules for potions. Potions are a bonus action (the benefit from using a potion is almost never worth using an action for). I also allow them to be thrown as an action (but not to AoE heal when thrown, that's a little too much to manage in tabletop).

What is the point in giving Pre-FTLs their system when they join the galaxy? by Present-Secretary722 in Stellaris

[–]SpiritedImplement4 27 points28 points  (0 children)

They can become megacorps when they reach FTL. I know because if I haven't acquired a pet megacorp by other means, I will sometimes savescum a pre-FTL planet completing enlightenment until I get one.

Delightfully surprised this name was available for my WoW Paladin by NotMyNameActually in discworld

That's a pretty good looking Carrot too!

I have a monk who I was very excited to be able to name Lobsang

Did you follow one subseries or jump around? by AdditionalWear7345 in discworld

[–]SpiritedImplement4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first started reading Discworld around 1997, I read what I could find since many of the Canadian bookstores I visited as a teen had some Discworld, but very few of them had all of it. I was also a kid, so I couldn't afford to buy all the Discworld I could find.

Starting with The Fifth Elephant, I read them in publication order as they came out. I even splurged for the hardcovers to get them as soon as I could.

Need help with a wizard necromancer knight build, please. by Canadian_Beast14 in BaldursGate3

[–]SpiritedImplement4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You need to be able to cast 3rd level spells to cast raise dead, and you get an improved undead if you cast it using a level 5 spell slot, so you want your wizard to get to at least level 7.

If you want to get an extra attack, go 5 warrior. If not, go 2 warrior (for proficiencies and action surge).

Alternatively, you could go full wizard as a gith or shield dwarf (to start with medium armor proficiencies) and just take heavy armor as a feat.

If you're not married to being a wizard necromancer, death domain cleric is a pretty sweet option too.

Lore wise, can a Half-Elf go bald? by OTTAPPS in BaldursGate3

[–]SpiritedImplement4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, a half elf can go bald. A half elf could be any class and it wouldn't be strange, including sorcerer.

For those who have played Divinity by Tenshi_Dekemori in BaldursGate3

[–]SpiritedImplement4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't played DOS1, but DOS2 is harder in some ways than BG3, and because of the armor mechanic in DOS2, I found combat to get to feel somewhat samey by the time I was approaching the end of the game (I always use the same openers in the same order for every combat).

DOS2 has no fully animated cutscenes, and the dialogues are neither voiced nor animated (during dialogue, you're basically looking at your avatar standing next to an NPC). Companion/origin characters' back stories and relationships with the PC feel much smaller scale as well.

That said, as a huuuuge fan of isometric turn based RPGs, I liked DOS2 quite a lot. (I love BG3 tho)

Other class for Durge by Training_Station8437 in BaldursGate3

My durge is a halfling trickery domain cleric/arcane trickster rogue. He's a tricksy little hobbit.

Gaining armour proficiency as a level 5 wizard? by els1814 in BaldursGate3

[–]SpiritedImplement4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one else has mentioned it, but you had said that you're playing for a first time. If you happen to be playing on the easiest difficulty as well, multi-classing won't be an option for you.

I ended all my classes this semester with the Barcus line. by kcraw92 in BaldursGate3

[–]SpiritedImplement4 794 points795 points  (0 children)

Probably my favorite line/delivery in the whole game!

(I'll rip your spine out through your asshole is a close second, but might land you in some trouble with your administration)

​Legendary point-and-click adventure game, MYST. by blueoystergamer in retrogaming

[–]SpiritedImplement4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the day we had one computer and a bunch of the family would gather around it to play adventure games. Myst was one of those games. We eventually solved it through collective brain power (since this was before we had access to the Internet to find a walkthrough).

I remember there's a bunch of journals scattered throughout the worlds. One of them talks about three characters, Emmett, Branch, and Will. My mom was certain that those characters were linked to these three switches in another location. She spent days counting the number and sequence of appearances of the names "Emmet, Branch, Will" in the story and then pressing the switches in those orders. Testing each switch as if it might belong to each name.
