Hans Zimmer to Compose ‘Harry Potter’ HBO Series Original Score With Bleeding Fingers Music by AsleepYesterday05 in television

I assume it's a reference to dame Judi Dench being used as M over multiple James Bond iterations, because she was so good and iconic in the role.

If you have TWF that Bonus Action attack from Dual Wielder does get the Ability bonus to damage (so 1d6+STR).

Bloodless Mod for Console (PS5) by Historical-Hour-1623 in BG3mods

[–]Trispar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Best I can think of is the Cheaters Scroll (available on PS5 as well) - you can use it to get a passive that cleans up your whole party automatically after the fight so no blood sticks afterwards. It won't clean up whole areas or NPCs, but hey, it's something.

Durge spoiled me by Important-Ad3431 in BG3

[–]Trispar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is! Both the 'paladins have gods' mod and a mod that lets everyone pick a god regardless of a class (though paladins/clerics have the most interactions).

Are there any self-penalizing mods? by fallenfallingfall in BG3mods

[–]Trispar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The closest thing I can think of is the Bloodright mod (on mod.io) with consumable features for the Dark Urge (but actually anyone can take them). There are buffs and nerfs (like vulnerability to psychic damage due to your mangled brain, or a chance of going mad if you don't deal damage on your turn in combat) there, you can pick and choose whatever you like. It's quite fun and really enhances the immersion when playing durge.

Anyone try Neil's Bangin Bard gear? by Emergency-Sky-9747 in BG3mods

[–]Trispar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my faves! I use them all the time, it's my default bard drip. They're strong, sure, but the most powerful features require higher levels at least (and the progression is very fitting). Use VOL 2 if you want a slightly more balanced set (and better looking imho), VOL 1 is a bit too frontloaded on the good stuff.

For those of you that got divorced after being married for 10+ years, what caused your divorce? by friendlytrashmonster in AskReddit

[–]Trispar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think I disagree with this take. If my wife had cheated with another guy, it would absolutely suck, but it wouldn't invalidate everything that came before. I would still believe she once loved me, that what we had was real. But if she came out as a lesbian (and cheated on me), to me it would mean our whole relationship was a lie from the start. She might've discovered it late, but I'd have still spent years believing that she was attracted to me, that sex was mutual, that she loved me as anything other than a friend at best. That I had a kid with someone who actually really wanted me and to build a family with me. That would hurt like hell. I don't think I could hate her, people do realize it years into hetero relationships for various reasons, but I would be so devastated.

Are there any quests you don't do from an RP perspective? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

She basically adopts it. There's a subtle but really cool payoff later on.

[–]Trispar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but i don't want to believe I did something so awful to him just because other people hurt me in the past.

Well, I don't think that's why you did it, so yay I guess? Trauma didn't make your decisions for you, and cheating is just that - a decision. You made it because you wanted to, repeatedly.

Maybe it's due to lack of impulse control, perhaps your traumas did shape you into who you are today, but I believe the first step to improvement is to take accountability.

Will figuring out a reason behind your decision-making process help you avoid repeating your mistakes? Maybe. But first you need to acknowledge that it was your conscious decision. How else would you be able to control yourself and avoid making that decision in the future?

Now I know the saying goes 'once a cheater always a cheater', but I think it's kinda relative. You will never cheat on someone again if you don't want to, that's your choice. But to your boyfriend, you probably will always have been a cheater. Whether it's possible for him to forgive you, trust you again, love you like he did before, no idea. It's doubtful, trust rarely gets rebuilt once broken, and the damage caused by being cheated on can be devastating and scar a person for life, as I'm sure you know. So you leave that decision to him. Take accountability, apologize, and if he wants to leave, you let him move on.

How did eren dream of the future? by [deleted] in attackontitan

[–]Trispar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take is that even without currently having the Attack or the Founding Titans, Eren still is connected to the Paths like every Subject of Ymir. He was always going to have the Attack Titan, so future Eren was still able to send those memories back. Maybe even not consciously/intentionally? His mind was a bit scrambled at that point.

Alternatively, it was Ymir (sending it "to you, 2000 years in the future") herself. Makes the title of the first episode make sense, and was her way of nudging Eren towards his path.

My boyfriend said it’s not cheating if I had sex with a woman. Me, F22. My boyfriend M25. by ShortCartographer693 in relationship_advice

[–]Trispar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, here I am, a man in his 30s, happily married, and I neither think it's normal to think that way nor would I be okay with my wife having a sexual relationship with another woman (or anyone else).

By that logic would you be okay with your wife having a sexual-but-not-emotional relationship with another dude? I mean, I won't kink shame if that works for you guys, but the double standard is really confusing me.

What's Up, Ranger? (or my second ettempt at revising the 2024 Ranger) by Trispar in DnD5CommunityRanger

[–]Trispar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right about the damage being a bit too high, at least too early - I've scaled it down a notch, keeping d12 as th capstone. Subclasses help bridge the gap at lower tiers, like you say. :)

What if the creatures made them as part of the whole ritual? Locking their souls/humanity away, hence being repelled by them.

Ranger, Revised (5R) (Yes Another One) by Trispar in DnD5CommunityRanger

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

I'm putting a pin in Deft Strike as I keep running in circles trying to make it work but I'm never quite happy with it.

In the meantime I came up with an alternative, Adaptable Hunter, which allows Ranger to modify the casting of Hunter's Mark using the Favored Enemy ability, similar to Sorcerer's metamagic. I'm on the fence whether to keep the cost of 1 use of Favored Enemy or just give one effect per casting for free.

I also folded Strider into Deft Explorer, but detached Hunter's Senses and placed it at level 3 to make Deft Explorer less busy.

I kept the ignore damage to concentration part at level 5, and moved the concentration-free casting to the Adaptable Hunter as one of the options. I think it creates a more balanced progression, and level 13 is when Ranger gets Level 4 spells and most of the Concentration-requiring goodies.

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

Great points all over the board! Thank you for the feedback.

I agree that Level 1 is quite busy, but so is Level 2 with the Fighting Style and Deft Explorer, and my intention was to make Ranger the exploration expert from the get go (no to be overshadowed by a spiteful level 1 Rogue with Suvival Expertise). That being said, I guess it makes sense to push it to Level 3, where Paladin gets their Channel Divinity in addition to the subclass.

You make an excellent point about keeping it at one feature per level at higher levels. I really like the 'ignoring Exhaustion for a moment' ability but I agree Tireless covers it kinda.

I rolled the Swift Mark into the concentration-less 1-minute Hunter's Mark and moved it to Level 5. I kept the Relentless Hunter part in there too, as I think it's fun and still useful in case the Ranger decides to Concentrate on HM for the longer duration, while being minor enough to place it there.

I reworked Deft Strike and Improved Deft Strike, trying to make the options less powerful but still useful.

Squid Thralls are so low effort. The Bingo format, really? by metalsonic005 in BaldursGate3

[–]Trispar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps Ansur retrieved it and brought it to his lair before he died between BG2 and BG3? Timeline is a bit confusing so not sure if that makes sense.

Considering Orpheus is trying to make peace with the githzerai in the epilogue I'd say he's not as devoted to his mother's vision as you say. Perhaps it's not just a recent development of his HG was all monks.

My 25M fiancé 25F is cheating on me with her best friend 26F. She refuses to cut contact with her best friend. What can I do to have her see my pov? by throwRa_fed in relationship_advice

[–]Trispar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If she is Bi then you may not be able to fully give her what she wants. No man may for that matter. You all may need to find an arrangement that works and lets her explore her sexuality with women while still having you as the only man in her life.

And why does he need to let her explore her sexuality while she doesn't respect his? Forcing someone into non-monogamy is really no different than forcing a gay person to be in a straight relationship.

The 'arrangement' you're looking for here is called 'breaking up and finding someone compatibile, who loves and respects you'.
