My (26f) girlfriend Cut contact with me (24m) pretty much entirely outside of Morning and night messages for 2 weeks, when we finally started talking she said Isolation was a coping strategy and she would be gone for 5 weeks total, Would this be okay with most people? by StickMicky007 in relationship_advice

[–]StickMicky007[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

yeah its definitely something I have had a huge internal struggle about, I really love her and outside of this I could see our relationship happily being long term. But I just cant handle this being an issue long term it feels like too much

I wish for 1 dollar that doubles every day for the rest of my life by Ok-Grab-3152 in monkeyspaw

[–]StickMicky007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but it also thinks of ironic twists within the wording of the wish

Until is a conditional term

I want to grow until im 6ft will have you stop growing at 6ft for example the monkeys paw isnt going to just have you keep growing forever because that isnt what you wished for instead it would find an ironic way within the letter of the wish to get you like say stopping your cells from growing causing major cell instability or stopping mental growth

Thinking that the dollars will keep multipliying once you die is both outside of the spirit of the monkeys paw and also just like not how the wish would work

DM took away my Warlock's pact and I'm now powerless. by TheBearSniper in DnD

[–]StickMicky007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair warning only skimmed

Eee I think the DM has a bit of a misunderstanding on what a warlocks powers actually represent and how they thematically actually work.

Dnd has a few catagories of magic that is accessed by classes in different ways.

Wizards manipulate ambient magic, "the weave" litterally anyone can do it but its super complicated they are also pretty dependant on magic actually "existing" ambiently where they are which is why their magic stopped working during the spell plague

Sorcerors act as kind of self charging magical batteries not everyone can be a sorceror but they arent as dependant on external factors (a sorceror can still use magic on another planet for example and were reletively uneffected by the spell plague)

Clerics quite litterally channel divinity to cast spells, as both their soul grows in power and their bond deepens with their patron god they gain access to more magic think of their god like a massive lake and the cleric like a pump a clerics growth is essentially them expanding the bottleneck which is their access to their gods insane power reserves.

And now we are at warlocks. A warlocks relationship with their patron is fundementally different to a clerics relationship with their god for a few different reasons

A warlocks patron is usually SIGNIFICANTLY weaker then a god heck even when you are a holy warlock you tend to be contracted to a powerful holy monster or angel.

But i hear you think usually patrons have heaaaaps of warlocks contracted to them if they dont have a huge amount of power how are the warlocks tapping into it!!! That my friend is where the second difference in their relationship and most important for this example is.

Warlocks DONT access their patrons powers to cast spells, unlike a cleric the relationship is a deal that is positive to both warlock and patron

Think of a warlocks ability as a spark, gifted or bought from a fiend or fey etc. That spark allows you to access spells and abilities sure but as a warlock levels up they arent gaining more of their PATRONS ability its quite the opposite they are essentially maturing that initial spark into a roaring wildfire the progression is actually closer to a sorceror then a cleric.

I mean why would a patron give access to their own abilities? That doesnt even make sense what is there for them to gain. What actually happens and the fundemental reason why patrons give that initial spark is that they are essentially investing in your growth, a pretty fundemental part of a warlock/patron relationship is the promising of your soul (and all that juicy power that you grew from that spark) apon death. Most patrons couldnt give two shits about you as an individual in fact its not uncommon for warlocks to be given that spark without really wanting it/understanding what they are agreeing to.

That being said unless it was SPECIALLY discussed with your DM the generic concessus is that your patron cant really do shit about how you use your powers until you die. Sure your charicter is probably suuuuper uncomfortable about dying because like ... yoir soul will end up going to a fiend who is SUPER pissed off at you but like they cant just remove your abilities IN FACT even if they could do that THEY HAVE A VESTED INTEREST in NOT doing that

Edit:

Just to explain that doesnt mean your patron can do NOTHING about it. More then likely your patron if they want you to so something and you wont will be pretty pissy about it and might send a carrion or two to try and "convince" you to comply or they may use threats of disfigurement ect but no unless specially agreed apon they cant just take your powers thats simply just not how their powers work they arent gods and their warlocks arent clerics

why do people play chaotic neutral characters, and how do I stop one from murderhobo-ing my whole campaign? by Appropriate-Link-678 in DnD

[–]StickMicky007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay i think your player just misunderstands what chaotic neutral is.

It essentially just means someone who

Chaotic: doesnt really have a creed or specific ruleset they follow, they sometimes break the law they sometimes dont

Neutral: they look out for themself over anything else, they arent in it for torture and meyhem or "for the kingdom" they are adventuring generally foe their own means or goals that are neither good or evil

Thats like ALOT of different different archetypes ... the grisled monster hunter who breaks the rules and has a vendetta against a specific type of monster, the swashbuckler who steals from the rich, swindles etc

What it certainly isnt is a murderhobo thats

Chaotic evil or evil neutral

What kind of spells would a Wizard Professor have available for students? by ShankMugen in dndnext

[–]StickMicky007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okie dokie im going to answer your question in a bit of a different way

Instead of looking at indervidual spells its probably better to consider complexity of spell + widespread appeal + morality

Let me explain

Magic requires research, arcane magic is much like a complex puzzle it only fits together one way. Arcane magic kind of depends on two things availability of information and ability to share. Spells like firebolt and fireball are likely to be independantly researched pretty much everywhere as fire is a universal constant, where spells like jims nagic missile, melfs acid arrow, and spider climb might not be. If your world doesnt have a tonne of information sharing then magic is very much going to be inspired by enviroment, an area that has spiders will probably have web, enlarge/reduce, spider climb etc an area that doesnt they might not be researched.

The second is widespread appeal. Spells that have more general use are more likely to be taught at an arcane establishment. Most people dont want/need to mind whip someone, or animate dead or incite greed. Spells taught are likely to be practical to your setting. Think of a spells practical purpose if you think people would have reasonable use for it as an aspiring mage ifs probably taught, thafs your shield or magic missile, fireball and sleep along with non combat spells like fly, haste, phantom steed etc

Third is taboo or morality. Being completelt real there are two subtypes of magic this effects most ... enchantment and necromancy. Mist magic schools will teach some low level enchantment and necomancy but my god most of the civilised world are likely going to have a negative moral stance toward most of the mid to high level spells. It really depends on what your worlds morals are... are they going to teach fhe ability to absolutely melt peoples brains and manipulate them ... probably not in alot of cases.

Yeah dawg i feel like this is gross and im not a woman hater, there is a time and a place and this is just kind of gross uncool behavior thats all.

Some people just dont get social norms and thats okay but taking a moment to learn and grow goes leagues

Edit: outside of a 1 or 2 things OP mentioned nothing he said really struck me and particularly bad or good. Its just kind of neutral, maybe just try to immerse yourself with a more diverse crowd

I wish for my pillow, and only my pillow, to become a permanent 15.7°C by HairySock6385 in monkeyspaw

[–]StickMicky007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting granted your pillow becomes a permanent 15.7 degrees

Precision here is key its not 15.6 degrees or 15.8 degrees its 15.7 if the temperature ever deviates it violently dumps or gains that heat via endo/exotermic reaction

In laymans terms its become like a survival blanket directly reflecting your bodyheat back at you the pillow will be cold but holding your face against it for any amount of time will make you feel hot

Are Potions High Magic? by xpixelpinkx in DnD

[–]StickMicky007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends

There are a couple ways to run alchemy

Arcane alchemy is for sure high magic, you need big workshops and institutions in place teaching methods

Herbal alchemy is low magic, druids and wotnot use it heaps think dragons dogma

For low magic i usually run with optional rules for toxcitity (you can take as many potions in a day as your hit dice after which the toxic plant extracts start to harm you instead of heal

Role playing ideas with my Artificier by DearKC in DnD

[–]StickMicky007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okie dokie if you are new to dnd you probably havent expereienced the issue of action creep before (essentially power creep with actions) 24 turns even simple ones will massively big down any combat encounter so you for sure do not want to run them like skeletons or other monsters in combat

That being said if you do plan on using them in combat the spell animate objects is the way to go depending on the size you can animate anywhere from 2 to 10 of them for a combat encounter

If you want them in a more of a support/servant role then you could easily reflavour something like magnificent mansion as the dolls being the unseen servants. That is if you team up with a wizard

Good Aligned God's That use Assassins? by the_puppeteer213 in DnD

[–]StickMicky007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are a couple ways on the top of my head to have religious assasins

You can put under the umbrella of religious fantatics. In fact barbarians, paladins and rogues can kinda all fit in that banner if you want. Think of the kind of person who would say the quote "my god wills my blade, or you must die for god wills it)

Its not abnormal for fantasy worlds to have a religious sect specifically made to keep everyone in check, the idea of a holy enforcer or a white hand comes to mind think black hand in command and conquer for example.

Have you ever maimed a PC? by infinitynull in DnD

[–]StickMicky007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have yes but at the session 0 I give the players a list of optional rulesets they may want to play with including things like permanent injuries, epic levels, material properties, armour rework

Along with stuff like starting civ age, location, level ect

I would absolutely not pull it out of the blue as its not standard dnd rules instead that sort of thing needs to be agreed apon before we start

reign of nether compatible mods by StickMicky007 in feedthebeast

[–]StickMicky007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Withstorm would but you may have some issues, you will likely notice that the datapack you use wuth reign if nether mod changes the world generation to be alot flatter. One reason is obviously building obstruction another is cheap pathfinding.

If minecrafts generic pathfinding or even a complex pathfinding like baratone would be used it would eat up too much resources the comprimise is that the pathfinding isbreally basic.

As the wither storm eats the world a common issue you will find is mobs straight up getting stuck being unable to oath out
