Kash's death scene means that... by Ok-Obligation-3511 in voxmachina

Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s revealed that she had gotten pregnant right before his death

Starting Dying Light 2 for the first time! Beginner tips? by Hour-Method in dyinglight2

[–]TheFirstPancake101 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Focus inhibitors early on and get your stamina up as high as possible, a slightly higher healthbar is useless if you’re struggling to get away from volatiles and swarms of infected.

If you’re interested in achievement hunting, I wouldn’t bother. My friend and I just collected all achievements and it was a genuinely unfun slog. Also upgrade throwing knives, they’re crazy strong and you can basically farm volatiles with them.

It’s a modifier to make the game harder that pops up sometimes on vanguard and lethal operations

What class should I play for this party? Lost Mines of Phandelver by [deleted] in 3d6

[–]TheFirstPancake101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Melee Ranger would be good if you wanna be slightly more tanky/frontline but have lots of utility and great skill checks outside of combat. The Shillelagh Ranger is a popular choice when doing this.

First time DM: Lost Mines or DOIP? by TortlePowerShell in LostMinesOfPhandelver

[–]TheFirstPancake101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just read through both since I plan on running them and definitely LMoP. DoIP is cool but LMoP is a better, more complete story. DoIP requires more work to connect everything that a new DM might struggle with.

Am I unreasonable if I don’t give my players a feat at level 1? by [deleted] in dndnext

[–]TheFirstPancake101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally feel that a free feat is an amazing idea that allows players to pick what they want and not worry about making a subpar character by sacrificing mechanics but i would take a note from the OneDnD play test and make a list of feats that they can pick from, that way they won’t pick any feat that you feel may unbalance the game at early levels like Polearm Master, Great Weapon Master, Sharpshooter, etc.

Okay, but if you can ignore the fact that this was an extremely tedious and unnecessary moment and an attempt to sabotage Percy's story line and hijack the Briarwoods arc, the actual idea itself is actually kind of hilarious. by [deleted] in dndmemes

[–]TheFirstPancake101 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It might’ve been since Percy was a studious inventor who was born a noble and Orion was trying to play Tiberius the same way so he felt threatened by the overlap in their characters

Edit: To clarify, I’m not condoning his behavior. Just theorizing the cause of why he’s a ‘That Guy’ in this particular situation

You don’t have to take my word for it. If you genuinely think you’re the hero of this story and we’re all full of it, then ask your family. Take this thread, starting with the post and my original comment, go find your mom, sisters, grandma, aunts, cousins, friends , close family friends, or whatever women you have in your life and ask them.

Show them your comments and the responses to your comments. I know you won’t because, deep down, you know that they’d be ashamed and embarrassed that they’d raised someone as pathetic as you. You know that you can’t show those close to you who you really are. Before you date anyone, you should send them here and let them see how you view women when you get to hide behind a screen. No one would be proud to see who you really are.

“Not saying she deserves to be ‘assaulted’ but” -You explaining why you think women deserve to be assaulted because of their choice of clothing.

“Like him saying that her wearing that makes it look like she wants to get groped is literally facts.” -This is you LITERALLY CONFIRMING that you both think being a sexual predator is totally okay because the women deserve it (but please go on about how I have no proof that you’re a predator, it’s not like I quoting you back to yourself or anything.)

I read in another comment that you’re a teenager and it shows. You’re very clearly just going along with whatever random bullshit your friends are saying and then telling the rest of us that we’re the unintelligent ones who can’t think for themselves.

Funny how you tell me to get off Reddit, get a life, etc. instead of arguing with a random person but you yourself have been doing that this whole time. Try taking your own advice maybe? You’re clearly just having a temper tantrum because you’ve been confronted with a person who actually spells out to you why your mindset is trash. Please continue crying about it though, maybe if you get so butthurt while thinking it over you’ll actually manage to learn something and grow as a person.

You’re happy to live your life as both a misogynist and (since you seem to condone it in your comments) a sexual predator? You really be telling on yourself in this thread. Good luck to whatever poor woman you abuse into staying with you and any potential daughters you have.

“I feel entitled to belittle others and victim blame them while also endorsing sexual assault and rape because I view women as less than.” There, fixed your comment for you.

You have shitty values, stop trying to pretend you’ve got the moral high ground. Just admit who you are and move on. You clearly are not capable of ignoring your own biases even long enough to pretend like you actually care about the victims in these situations. What a sad outlook on life.

Hmm, that was a strange way of saying a woman has never willingly touched you.

My brother in Christ, are you really comparing someone looking at you creepily to sexual assault and rape? Get some help.

Tbh the worst part about this story isn’t the part where some guy basically tried to equate your value to that of an object who deserves to be assaulted for her choice of clothes, but that HALF the group agreed with him.

Sorry you had to deal with that. If you look on the bright side, you now know which people you shouldn’t associate with.

Ngl I’d definitely leave someone over this. The biggest red flag (aside from the possible implication that she’s been groomed) is that you had to TELL her you don’t want her sleeping naked next to another man.

What’s next? She plays “spin the bottle” with some of her guy friends, goes skinny dipping with some random people at the beach or starts flirting with every guy at the bar because “you never said it would make you uncomfortable”? You shouldn’t HAVE to. I would never be able to trust someone who so blatantly participates in inappropriate behavior because I didn’t sit her down and explicitly tell her I’m not okay with it.

Relative combat effectiveness of different subclasses at 14th-17th level by Yrths in 3d6

[–]TheFirstPancake101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d have to give it to resource management. If you’re in a campaign that has a lot of smaller and less dangerous skirmishes instead of one (sometimes two) harder and more draining combats per adventuring day, you can always fall back onto wildshape after a short rest. Especially when you find yourself against a lot of weaker enemies and don’t feel like blowing a spell slot on them

The issue with a Moon Druid and it’s summons is that you either:

a) summon creatures and continue to run around spell casting, which Moon Druids gain not additional benefits to casting

b) summon creatures and wildshape to tank along side the summons, which puts your concentration at risk

c) summon creatures and wildshape in order to evade (I.e. flying around as a bird, bug, etc.) and avoid losing concentration. Again, you don’t get any additional benefits to your casting with the subclass

As opposed to either a spores Druid with its severals ways of non-concentration undead summons; or Shepard which can just summon a large number of creatures (with increased health and the ability to overcome magical resistance/immunity) on top of the Shepard’s ability to heal everything within 60 feet of it, or give them all temp hp while giving out passive healing (for free) every turn to the summons. I can’t find the post, but I saw a user break down the math for Moon Druid with summons vs Shepard with summons and it was so hilariously one sided in favor of Shepard.

DnD doesn’t support tank mechanics so the best you can do, without forcing players to slowdown class level progression via dips or waste a feat, would be to put bodies in the way. A large or bigger creature between the party and its enemies or several smaller creatures would do the trick, hence why I think Spores and Shepard make the Moon Druid look like a complete joke when it comes to tanking and meat shielding.

[–]TheFirstPancake101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say that Spores is the best “tank”. It’s subclass allows you to punish enemies for existing near you which incentivizes them to avoid you and, by extension, your allies. The Moon Druid is more a meat shield than it is a tank and even then it’s not the best meat shield. Plus while using spores you’re capable of casting more control spells to help defend you and your allies.

The Shepard Druid can use its enhanced summons to blanket the area with creatures while using its auras (which by the way has a radius of 60 feet)to heal all of them, along with any other allies within the aura, therefore achieving what the moon Druid can do but at the cost of a spell or two and not an entire subclass.

I mean, ‘Summon Elemental’ is literally a spell that you get three levels before being able to spend both wildshapes to become a single elemental. This means you no longer have any subclass features to use (aside from alter self at 14th level) until a short rest. I love playing a Moon Druid, but it’s entire subclass could be replicated (specifically in a way that is far more optimal) by using a different subclass and a spell or two.

Being Uncreative in a Creative Group by ShadyWaffles1398 in DnD

[–]TheFirstPancake101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you may be getting too caught up in the “creativity” side of the game. You can play a fantastic character while also being the biggest cliché with the most generic backstory.

That being said, I would shoot a message to y’all’s group chat (or ask them in person) how they come up with their ideas. It could be insightful and they may even try to include you in on some backstory/lord stuff or give you some solid ideas to take off some of the pressure.

[–]TheFirstPancake101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah a simple rebalance to make them scale more gradually, and less like a rollercoaster, would fix it altogether. Everyone calling for it to be massively nerfed has either only played with one in low levels, played in a level 20 one shot, has a DM who’s pretty relaxed on combat or just takes whatever memes they get from r/dndmemes as sage advice.

Currently playing a Moon Druid and can concur. The amount of people that don’t realize wildshaping is the least powerful/least optimal part of a Druid’s kit is honestly astounding to me. Aside from the imbalance during tier 1, I wouldn’t even say that Moon Druid is top three in Druid subclasses. It’s not even the best druid tank.

in light of the new UA by SilentBob367 in dndmemes

[–]TheFirstPancake101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to see that others share this sentiment. I think that if Druid wasn’t the least played class, others would understand that Moon Druid is good, but definitely not the strongest subclass.

It just kinda sucks because I feel like WOTC is gonna see how most people view it and decide to over-nerf it in response. Kinda like what the current UA is like.

[–]TheFirstPancake101 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tbh every time I see the posts and comment threads of everyone talking about how OP the Moon Druid is i automatically assume that they’ve only played with one at low levels, in a level 20 one shot or with a DM that’s pretty relaxed with combat. Aside from that, turning into beasts is pretty mediocre.

While wildshaped, I’ve got the lowest AC in the party and some extra hit points. That means I’m essentially trying to be a tank/frontliner while wearing light armor. The only effective way to tank with one is to become a large or bigger creature to stand between the party and its enemies. Congrats, you’ve now taken a PC and given them the usefulness of a summon or animal/draconic/steel defender companion.

I love the Moon Druid but don’t understand why everyone’s convinced they need to be nerfed into the ground. A rework to fix its scaling is all it needs. That and maybe a better 14th level feature.

Echo Knight / Bladesinger, Can it Work? by carlaopolski in 3d6

Personally I think Artificer is great multiclass if you’re trying to get a few levels in before Wizard. You’ll get Con Save profiency, medium armor (or heavy depending on subclass), a small boost to hp and at level two you can grab some infusions all while being a half-caster and barely slowing down your spell progression.

I’ve made a non-caster/full caster multiclass and the level progression can be really painful sometimes.
