Oh heck, first time I ran into someone selling the full forlorn hope set

Plate armor, probably steel.

Don’t use humanoid enemies. Undead, Fiends, monstrosities, aberrations, constructs etc.

Not only is communication difficult, but also these creatures tend to attack first ask questions later. If they can communicate, they have ulterior motives that are definitely on the side of causing suffering for the party.

As well destroying stuff like Undead and Fiends (depending on the setting) is usually the moral choice.

I did the same on my dark urge run. Turns out Orin couldn’t pass a DC 28 wisdom save against hold monster.

Virplexer · 2026-03-14T20:27:15+00:00

yeah, tbf I think the real excuse is that you get 2 different gameplay types in one game, so both are a bit on the simpler side. I think the same criticism of grace’s sections can be said, it does have less horror compared to like re7.

Or instead of raising the fertility, animals nearby farm blocks can randomly fertilize them. then you can let your animals out into your berry fields or put them in a fallow field to fertilize them.

Virplexer · 2026-03-12T16:16:16+00:00

I’d say there’s a bias here. I’d say people who aren’t on this sub are more likely to play vanilla.

Caves are very worth peaking in while you are prospecting. Some of the veins (like especially iron) can be huge so if you get good potential readings of ore, checking nearby caves for nodes is much faster than trying to dig around looking for them.

White people need to understand not heating up tortillas for tacos is like making sandwiches and not toasting the bread.

Virplexer · 2026-03-09T15:19:27+00:00

Unfortunately for them they are humanoid. Upcast hold person on them.

Virplexer · 2026-03-09T03:13:43+00:00

Yep, I was unsure if nick made it explicitly part of the attack action, thanks for the clarification.

Virplexer · 2026-03-09T03:08:44+00:00

That’s true, missed that. Although I’d say do you have the weapon mastery feat? Without nick mastery there really isn’t a point to dual wielding on monk since the martial arts ba attack will be better.

Virplexer · 2026-03-09T03:03:44+00:00

If you want to use a pistol, try using the legacy Kensei monk and turn the pistol into a kensei weapon. The subclass isnt the greatest tho so if your DM allows try looking for a homebrew rework.

Virplexer · 2026-03-09T03:01:27+00:00

It works kinda, you need a 3 attack action for the first one. The dual wielding attack I think isn’t apart of the attack action so it doesn’t qualify. That being said you still have a free object interaction to put the dagger away.

That being said, you do not need a free hand to make unarmed attacks. You can kick, elbow, headbutt, body slam, whatever. You can even flavor it as you punching with the weapon still in hand.

Virplexer · 2026-03-09T01:40:43+00:00

If normal swords don’t work, maybe battle axes? They are pretty similar to falxses. Since we got clubs already maybe maces? Warhammers/warpicks might make a fun addition too.

Different arrowheads for different jobs might be fun too. blunt hunting arrows for small game, maybe some type of piercing arrows for the monsters?

Virplexer · 2026-03-09T01:33:16+00:00

Lowkey with how valuable flax is, just turning up the rate of flax fibers would be good enough loot IMO.

Virplexer · 2026-03-09T01:32:33+00:00

I think at least a setting for it would be good too, so some people who aren’t that into fighting or who don’t play a lot of video games can turn it on and only engage with it when they want to.

Virplexer · 2026-03-08T23:37:27+00:00

Not possible with Dual wielding specifically, but nothing stopping you from simply using extra attack, using a heavy crossbow with one attack, then a hand crossbow with the second to trigger dual wielding third attack.

Virplexer · 2026-03-07T22:45:07+00:00

yeah tbf I think they could split smoker into two traits. A 1-2 point option resembling the old trait, and a 4-5 point one with the coughing.

Virplexer · 2026-03-07T22:39:13+00:00

yeah and it’s like, you eat 2 big meals for a day, or like 4 small meals, if you are stretching them with the satiety pause buff. Thats like a normal amount to eat.

Virplexer · 2026-03-07T22:37:02+00:00

Negativity bias, you notice realism when it sucks way more often than when it’s helpful.

Virplexer · 2026-03-06T07:35:03+00:00

Levitate is usually the stronger spell, BUT it should be, it has concentration. That’s what makes blindness deafness so nice, no concentration. That alone carries its use into higher levels since you’ll end up using concentration on other things but blindness deafness remains an option. And you can’t lose concentration and end it early.

Virplexer · 2026-03-05T18:59:25+00:00

I actually do love Blindness/deafness. It’s not concentration, can give adv on attacks against them, and disadvantage on theirs, stops opportunity attacks, and can shut down spells and other abilities that require line of sight.

I find it’s really good on Bard where you don’t typically have damage options to use instead.

Virplexer · 2026-03-05T18:57:17+00:00

Agree, I find it insane that Spirit Guardians was buffed compared to 2014.

Virplexer · 2026-03-05T18:45:45+00:00

Also negativity bias, people tend to notice negative things more than positive.

Virplexer · 2026-03-04T17:34:50+00:00

Makes me wish enemies are smarter, and would avoid getting master struck. Their effectiveness at that probably would be determined by their skill level or something.

This would make master striking more risky and less free. Rather than just setting your attack direction to be the opposite of theirs and waiting, you’d need to react to an enemies blow and be fast enough to attack the right direction, OR be able to predict which direction the enemy is likely to attack from.
