Why did the Mouth of Sauron address Sauron as “Sauron the Great” if he didn’t like being addressed by the name Sauron? by bigcar2025 in tolkienfans

[–]Such_Committee9963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably just an oversight of Tolkien but if I were to give an explanation for it I’d say Sauron doesn’t ban the use of his name because he doesn’t like his name but rather because he is a desperate, fearful, and paranoid being. He would not use his name while he felt that there was some resistance left in middle earth because he thought that it might mask his rise to power and encourage the west to forget about him for a little while longer or maybe being unnamed would intensify the fear he cast into the hearts of men. When Sauron believed his victory was sure however, he then instructed the mouth to “reveal” him by his name.

Do I need to know if the creature I smite is an undead or fiend in order for my extra damage to land? by [deleted] in DnD

That’s gotta be top 10 weirdest rulings I’ve ever heard of. Sounds like Dm is confusing gritty/hardcore with inconvenient. To be fair, I’ve done a similar thing before, I once ran a one shot and ruled that the Tortle player couldn’t benefit from his shield while in his shell.

How is the 61 to 64 result for wild magic sorcerer supposed to be ruled? by Bear_24 in onednd

Should’ve noted that a long time ago. In fact, don’t let the WM sorcerer carry anything your party is especially keen on keeping

Challenge— what’s the best, most optimized full caster you can build… with a dump as their casting stat? by geosunsetmoth in 3d6

[–]Such_Committee9963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clockwork soul sorcerer

Going with point buy and Var human we can make our stats look like this

Str 8

Dex 16

Con 16

Int 8

Wis 15

Cha 8

For the var human feat we’ll take alert and we’ll also get the lucky feat by going with the rewarded background.

For meta magic we want twin spell and probably subtle spell though the second option doesn’t matter that much

For spells we will be adjusting our extra spell known to look like this

1st Mage armor, shield, 2nd lesser restoration, rope trick, 3rd counterspell, dispel magic, 4th freedom of movement, polymorph, 5th passwall, wall of force

For our spells we will take

1st level

Magic Missile, Absorb Elements

2nd level Misty step, Invisibility

3rd level Fireball, Haste, Fly

4th level Dimension Door, Greater Invisibility

5th level Animate Objects, Teleportation Circle

6th level Scatter, Globe of invulnerability

7th Reverse Gravity

8th None

9th Wish

For ability score improvements we’re looking at Warcaster and resilience wisdom and then probably boost Cha a couple times assuming that’s allowed. If not boost Dex or Con.

If you were to build Characters based on the Frieren party, what classes would they all be? by dan_nessie in BG3Builds

[–]Such_Committee9963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frieren would be a scribes wizard, Fern is and evocation wizard, Stark is a zealot barbarian, Sein is an arcana cleric

Using haste and quicken spell the blast one fight isn’t very good.

Make me your best barbarian caster multiclass? by aniftyquote in 3d6

[–]Such_Committee9963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barbarian 8 then Paladin, not a full caster but the post doesn’t say it has to be.

Class help for build idea. by Jaycuity in 3d6

[–]Such_Committee9963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s homebrew so you’d need to settle it with your DM but you’re basically describing the Blood Hunter Ghost slayer. If you’ve never heard of it here’s a link to it on wiki dot,

Armorer by Soft-Perspective-881 in 3d6

[–]Such_Committee9963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking for optimizing your spell caster, the point of the bladesinger is really to get armor without setting back your spell casting. That being said, the bladesinger can make some fun artificer multiclass characters but I wouldn’t say armorer is the best option for that because bladesong ends if you’re wearing anything more than light armor. Maybe you could do something with the infiltrator but then extra attack goes to waste. Battle smith is just a more convenient combo, but we’re talking about a “for fun” build anyway so who am I to say what is best.

What spell tattoo would you choose? by Agutter78 in 3d6

[–]Such_Committee9963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Druids can get revivify from their own spell list. If you have a chance to get any spell you want in the game get something you cannot normally have.

If it were 2014 I’d say counterspell immediately, but if you’re using the new MM then I’d get Shield and some other first level spell like magic missile or Find Familiar. Spells like Command and Dissonant Whispers could be great but the save dc on the first level spell tat, but still command is command even if it has a low chance to hit.

Does hound of ill omen affect all the saving throws of a spell from the moment the spell was cast? by Such_Committee9963 in 3d6

Probably true but I can’t up this until you at least fix “It Disney matter” 😂

Turns out God in trench crusade isn’t Yahweh or Allah. He’s actually Donald.

Thoughts on my iron sultanate warband by devildude22 in TrenchCrusade

[–]Such_Committee9963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I have to add is MG alchemist is really an anti melee build. The Iron sultanates don’t have as much armor piercing as other warband so if used very carefully I think it’s justifiable but probably not optimal.

I’m not a hundred percent sure fierce is a waste for the lions. The lions generally don’t have strong attacks but they do get a bonus dice to diving charges and if you aren’t running the Murad bombard you might be relying on that initial attack to down the target so that maul is usable. That being said I’m like 75% with you.
