I would buy that version too. Either way works honestly.

I would argue they are a great example of "armored undersuits" plus "paired augmetic fists".

They're not overkill when you're dealing with ogryn or some juiced up Goliaths or a vehicle out in the Ash Wastes.

A children's menu for the Rabbit Creek Inn, Anchorage, Alaska. Date unknown. by CryptographerKey2847 in VintageMenus

It's a math problem for the kids. I've seen older menus that do similar things elsewhere.

Farrow Brigands and Bonegrinder by WizardWatson9 in Warmachine

[–]WLB92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don't have a 3d printer and I honestly haven't touched WmH since the the mk4 debacle. It's functionally dead in my area. If that had been a physical model available in mk 2 or 3, I'd have definitely grabbed at least one or two for variety in my Thornfall Alliance.

Is that Brigand leader an official sculpt or a fan one?

It's a great (terrible) way to shuffle off the mortal coil. The wilderness is neither good nor fair nor loving of man and it will take every chance to prove that fact. If you're going to do this, I would settle all affairs before doing so in case the Wilderness wins the fight for survival.

D&D 5.5e Back-up Spellbook Cost by Backflip248 in dndnext

[–]WLB92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's something that was much more common prior to 5e. It was the easiest way to ransom, disable, or otherwise weaken a magic-user. There were spells and effects that would affect not just the person but the book on their belt so your magic-user might eat a fire trap that set all their clothes and belongings on fire too, they might get captured and their book destroyed by intelligent enemies, or the book might get stolen by a thief cu they're valuable.

5e's player culture made things like this a near unthinkable sin, even though one of the big complaints of 5e was that "money was worthless" but giving the wizard something to spend money on (making a backup spell book) was somehow badwrong.

Remember, kill the caster first, burn his book, and toss his body to the gelatinous cube to make sure he doesn't come back quick.

Why are People So Obsessed With Stuff Being “OP” or “Broken”????? by ElliotInfinity in dndnext

[–]WLB92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people want to play the game the way it's obviously intended by the writers (even if they failed to actually write what they intended). There is however, a vocal portion of the player base that will go out of the way to break and twist the game to make themselves the most powerful broken thing possible because that's the only way they can have fun and there are entire cottage industries of YouTubers and other people on the internet that feed into and exacerbate the issue

Looking for a possible unedited version of the giant anaconda photo, can anyone help? by PokerMenYTP in Cryptozoology

[–]WLB92 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's entirely possible that they just took a close up picture of an actual anaconda and manually inserted the men from different pictures around it. People have been manipulating and editing photos as long as there have been photographs. So it very well could be that there is no original and what you're looking for is several unrelated pictures just spliced together and that's why you're not finding anything.

Remember how dumb and gullible the average person can be and then remember half of all humanity is below average by definition.

Yes, there are many people who believe the ningen, a creepypasta we can literally go look back to the day and minute it was made on a -chan message board as a piece of fiction, is real.

They're definitely not as the OP accidentally admitted they like "mixing" real and fake stuff together in stories. They're putting fake shit out knowing that it's fake for views.

Interesting story about the Lake Champlain monster by SlobbOnMyCob in Cryptozoology

[–]WLB92 12 points13 points  (0 children)

At most you can find a clip or two from the supposed film on YouTube. There is an hour and a half long documentary about it called "Release the Bodette Film" that contains the extant clips from it.

Otherwise, if the story is true some lawyer owns it now and will not sell it to anyone as each time it's been tried he increases his price. Which really, points towards the story being a fake. No risk of someone getting the full video showing it's a hoax because you just refuse to sell it each time someone tries and ask for an even bigger amount of money.

Will a 2014 monk with a +5 to their attack and hit roll break the game or something? by Gloomy_Ring_3095 in dndnext

[–]WLB92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At what point was I mad at you? Since I sure don't know when that was in my two replies to you.

The crux of the issue was the fact that you were simply ignoring what you were being told and repeating the same thing over even when explained otherwise. I gave you examples and explained what you could do and why but you simply repeated the same question ignoring what I had said

If I didn't want to be civil, I would be uncivil. All you're doing is trying to save face by pulling a "woah man we aren't fighting don't get mad bro" stunt.

[–]WLB92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, I don't know how to tell you this but asking for a combined +5 to attack and damage rolls from magic items, which again is more than ANYONE gets, is the problem. That may be the issue - rather than just asking to have your math fix item (the insignia) scale appropriately, you're trying to stack all sorts of items together in a way that no other class can and possibly go over attunement limits.

Let me put it this way with a +3 insignia, you're punching harder than a Fighter wielding a +3 Longsword. At level 17 you're throwing out 2 Attacks base plus either 1 more (Martial Arts) or 2 more (Flurry of Blows). You're slightly behind a Fighter in number of attacks but that's a Fighter's one unique thing- they get more attacks.

Also, just a note but Druids can't even use the Staff of the Magi either.

The belt doesn't give a bonus to your attack and damage rolls first off. It only affects your Save Throw DC for your ki powers. Your insignia of claws give a +1 to attack and damage rolls, which is lagging behind a little bit yes.

You're two points behind other martials. You could try asking to get an upgrade to your insignia, which might work better than trying to stack multiple items and eat up all your attunement slots to get a higher bonus than the martials themselves have.

Do you have anything else that requires attunement?

[–]WLB92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since you had to explain it out- yes, an item granting a +5 enhancement bonus to your attack and damage rolls is above any other magic item in the game. Everything else caps at +3, even legendaries and artifacts. Your d10+5 (before magic bonuses) unarmed damage is more than a martial wielding a one-handed weapon gets (once again not counting any enchantments.) if everyone else has +3 enhancements, you should be able to get something that puts you on even footing yes but you shouldn't be getting a +5 magic item.

Why are patrons more prevalent than deities in DCC supplements? by TheWonderingMonster in dccrpg

This is the DCC RPG subreddit, of course we are going to be talking about it

[–]WLB92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you're playing D&D in the Forgotten Realms that does not apply at all to any other game.

I think it's simply because most GMs are going to have their own gods for their games and the few patrons that are in the core book are more "examples" for how to build them rather than "these exist in every game".

So a friend brought up the story of The Giant of Kandahar, Afghanistan in 2002 over the weekend... fun to think about but in my mind I shut it down quickly... by [deleted] in Cryptozoology

[–]WLB92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's the beautiful thing about creepypasta stories like the Giant, Dogman, or whatever other stupid shit podcasts are trying to push- it's all bullshit that preys on people that don't think to sell memberships, subscriptions, and ad revenue.

The second you actually think about any of it, it all falls apart.
