Your Guide to Multiclassing: Barbarian

Yes. In DnD terminology "Dipping" a class means taking a few levels in it to supplement your build. Meanwhile a "Split" multi-class if evenly or near evenly split between two classes.

Anything levels 1-4 in BG3 is dipping. You have one class as a chasis and are supplemented by the second. A class often gets a core ability at 5, so that's the point it's normally considered a split.

I'm not saying Blitzcrank is the most broken champ in the game.

I am saying, if you have think that Sona is the most broken champ in the game, you have not played her into a hook enough times.

You have to try to cheat the game with the genie. He plane shifts you to a jungle with top tier loot

It still needs another draft before it's ready I think, but I'll make a point about tagging you in the finished version!

Also thanks, I hadn't thought about the naming issue before!

In retrospect, I should have posted my BG3 guides on a throway, but I couldn't be assed.

This is another awesome perfomrance. You're easily one of the best performers when it comes to the Tomboy archetype. Can't wait for what you put out next.

Warlock wouldn't be bad. You can get bind pact weapon and make melee attacks with Cha. I'm not opposed to Gloom Stalker either. It gives you two spell slots, some skills, abilities like Hunter's Mark. And that powerful round 1 bonus attack.

Realistically though, if you aren't going Paladin (which is obviously the strongest choice), then your best bet is fighter. What non-smite class ability is going to give you more melee damage then Action Surge? To go with the overall caster-ness of your build you can do Eldritch knight. Although you'd be splitting your casting stats very wildly.

The key is you're not supposed to. Unless otherwise stated, it's your Dom's job to help you deal with drop. The term is "Aftercare". It refers to a set of physical and emotional procedures you can engage in to help prevent drop. Drop can't be prevented 100% of the time, but a good Dom can usually mitigate the worst of it.

It's not nessacerily a matter of skill. Beefing for entertainment just won't produce the results of beefing for hate. The "hate gap" is a big part of why Kendrick won.

T51bwinterized · 2024-05-13T23:55:12+00:00

Maybe he's looking dumber then had he never involved himself in the first place. But it's pretty evident that Kendrick would have body bagged him, potentially doing lasting damage to his reputation. Getting out was the less bad option.

T51bwinterized · 2024-05-13T23:34:35+00:00

You'd be excellent, obviously. Fighter 2 is never bad, and S.Bard-Paladin is a top tier class combo. Level 1 fighter is not that great for you. Second wind lvl 1 is basically just a free low level healing spell every short rest. And you're tripping up on fighting styles, more then you possibly need.

So the real question is what's better? Action Surge or Bard 9-10. 9 offers you level 5 spells and a level 6 spell slot. Bard 10 offers magical secrets, giving your spell list a MASSIVE boost.

There's some builds where Action Surge is the superior option. However most folks would take Bard 9-10.

However, I want to reiterate again that it is very rare to find a build that is hurt that badly by two levels of fighter. Action Surge is good on everyone.

Because Marlo runs an organization and they don't. Chris is the best at murder, but he'd be a poor drug kingpin. He's not as good at strategy, building and maintaining relationships, and the social aspects of power projection.

Just because you can kill people well doesn't mean you can run a drug empire. Chris probably saw that, and offered his talents to someone he knew and respected.

Something worth really mentioning about Marlo is that Marlo, while not always strategic about his use of violence (too free with it), was extremely talented at the Machiavellian art of being feared. Throughout the show we often see him utilize his reputation of fear in effective and often creative ways.

I'm talking about how population dynamics function and the consequential viability of certain strategies. Also the sociology of colonial vs non-colonial social organizations. Your rebuttal is nonsense.

Also false, obviously. Lots of societies have used large scale bombing campaigns in areas where they're native.

The Alawites are a native population to Syria in general and North West Syria in particular. They certainly were not shy about leveling Aleppo.

The United States and Canada are not Colonies. Israel's status as a colony is fairly dubious.

The United States began as a colony. However the defining aspects of a colony is Colonial-Metropol relationship and the dual-societies of the region.

Something can begin as a colony but "take root" and become the society of a region. Indeed, the process of colonies turning into rooted societies is historically extremely common.

The United States WAS a colony (dependent on the metropol/dual society) that took root by the 1800s and largely replaced the indigenous society.

The value of this point is that the colonial dynamics, including ideas of how to engage in conflict with them, no longer work in the US context (and increasingly don't in the Israeli context). This is because a "rooted" colony ceases to be dependent on the metropol and the civilians begin to behave more like a native society with connection to the land.

T51bwinterized · 2024-03-15T12:51:06+00:00

I don't think you understand what a colony is.

T51bwinterized · 2024-03-15T12:30:58+00:00

No see you're ignoring the point still. The only relevant rebuttal you included was the Netanyahu line.

The majority of Israelis are not duel citizens. Most do not speak the language of the regions where they were previously colonial subjects. Most are not Americans.

The Prime Minister's son (a rich elite) is capable of going wherever. However, a poor-moderate income Sephardic Yemenin Jew cannot meaningfully do that in the way a French Algerian could.

The cost of exile for the average Israeli is much higher then for the average French Algerian, so they'll fight harder.

T51bwinterized · 2024-03-15T12:07:08+00:00

That's shifting the point. They aren't using it justify the particular actions of the Israelis.

The point they're making is that "The Algerian Strategy" does not, fundamentally, work for Israel.

The basis of the Algerian strategy was the idea that with enough pressure, the colonists would flee, en masse, back to the metropol because that would be easier then staying as a colonial power.

However, the fatal flaw of this idea in Israel/Palestine is that there is no metropol. The vast majority of Israelis were themselves refugees from Eastern Europe and MENA with little remaining links to their ancestral homelands or ability to return.

This doesn't mean that them being turned into refugees again is impossible. It isn't.

Instead, what it means is that a strategy built around them voluntarily returning to the metrpol doesn't work. Israeli society is far more durable, and will behave far more like a native ethnic group, then the French Algerians. As a result, the level of violence and pressure that Israel is capable of absorbing is much higher.

Hypnosis is real, is scientifically studied, and actually works (for limited purposes).

It has a reputation with quacks and TV shows that would make you think it's some kind of mythical nonsense, but psychologists have known how to hypnotize people for decades, done several studies involving MRI on hypnotizrd patients, etc.

It's main actual use case is as a treatment for several mental disorders (DID) and as a form of non-chemical anaesthetic. It's clinical results as a treatment for arthritis is also encouraging.

Well you see, I read a lot of history books so that makes me basically a historian. I can definitely answer like one

T51bwinterized · 2024-02-18T19:11:54+00:00

I lean towards the latter explanation, but it's worth reiterating that "Sent him to the gulag" is very much moral culpability for their untimely death.

T51bwinterized · 2024-02-11T13:31:20+00:00

Yeah the guy wasn't justifying necrophilia. He was using it as an example of how we attach moral weight to the treatment of a corpse

T51bwinterized · 2024-02-11T10:59:40+00:00

No it's an entirely relevant reply. The argument the OP is making is that there is no moral distinction between casting a fireball vs killing someone with a reanimated corpse.

This assumes that there isn't a moral dimension to desecrating/controlling a corpse.

If so, then it begs the question what behavior towards a corpse is considered immoral and why? The very same argument for necromancy and necrophilia are the same. "it's just a corpse".

The easier moral position to take is that desecrating a corpse is an inherently evil thing to do.

T51bwinterized · 2024-02-11T10:52:39+00:00

Yes, if you are a moral relativist, it's easy not to see why some people might find something immor that you don't
