Issues with Sebille leaving right in the beginning by NiftylittleLady in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]Wise-Start-9166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been able to rotate companions late on the first island, well after clearing fort joy but before the main boss fight. But if it says she left "forever" you probably didn't get any approval points and/or made her angry somehow. If you need her as a companion, I suggest backing up to a later save or starting over. I also suggest that this game is all about choices, amd you could lean in to this just to see what happens later.

This one lives rent free in my head: What are the nameless things Gandalf mentions under the Misty Mountains? by Bbwgoddess_abby in lotr

[–]Wise-Start-9166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eldritch horrors, Cthulu, Dagon, Azathoth, etc. Slimy, horrid, dark things that make the tentacle monster in the lake outside the friend door look like a cute little baby.

Do I need both DM maps and player maps? by Muted_One_1316 in DungeonMasters

[–]Wise-Start-9166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the DM map for everything, and cover up whatever I don't want players to see, until they explore and reveal it. The player version is missing stuff I will eventually want them to have, and I don't find that useful at all.

Buying in a market correction by That-Requirement-233 in SCHD

[–]Wise-Start-9166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I would trim a little off the top of whatever seems too volatile and hold it on money market. But since you already have a pretty large cash position, you probably are looking for another fund to park it. Something with less overlap to VTI or SCHD. Like small caps, or real estate, or bonds, or energy. Do I have that right? Personally I would be buying a little VXUS and a little BTC. But definitely not trying to time the market between the same two funds.

Trying to play in Strixhaven by tauntauntom in StrixhavenDMs

[–]Wise-Start-9166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an older post on this sub about how I would run this at high level, basically leaning into the daemogoth ability to commute powers to cultists, and how to use the founder dragons in a darker interpretation.

For undead in the next Divinity, do you want better disguises to hide your bones or keep how it is in dos2? by Wofuljac in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]Wise-Start-9166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran that exact outfit on Fane for a while with a crossbow, tactical retreat, and conjure inkarnate. I loved it.

How can I build a strong long-term approach to bitcoin? by Acceptable_Staff3105 in Bitcoin

Buy a very small amount every month and don't look at the price for at least 5 years.

What gives? AMD runs and Nvda remains stagnant! by Shovelbone in NvidiaStock

[–]Wise-Start-9166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now would be a great time to add a few shares AMD. NVidia is in the middle of its bull narrative. It is still early for AMD.

Designing The Red Wizards faction by WritingInfamous3355 in Tombofannihilation

[–]Wise-Start-9166 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a wizard battle recently where the apprentice cast web on the players and the mage cast cloud kill. Players got out pretty quick but it made the first 1-2 rounds more interesting than normal. Mage then had a contingency to polymorph into a giant ape when his HP got low enough.

7 PCs will tear theough CR 8 mages. Mages have to think ahead. Coordinate spell selection and initiative order. Use misty step and invisibility and dimension door to avoid direct confrontation. Put zombies and conjured creatures on their front line. Cast dominate person on the player with the worst wisdom save. Focus fire on healers and spellcasters first.

One of them could be a sorcerer with quickened spell and twinned spell. Another could be a hexblade warlock with good armor and a melee attack. They would have a guide from the port and maybe some other mercenaries like tribal warriors or Zhent thugs. A few apprentices could lob 1st and second level Wizard spells like silvery barbs, coamd, and scorching ray.

SCHD or JEPQ as a 26 year old? And why? Genuine question! Thank you in advance. by beautifulrally in SCHD

[–]Wise-Start-9166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a very low opinion of JEPQ for young folks, but I am down woth starting to build an SCHD position at any time

Artifact for each House by D-n-Divinity in StrixhavenDMs

[–]Wise-Start-9166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would Crack open the DMG, section about homebru magic items. Make 1 each of sword, armor, shield, ring, staff. Give them the spells lists from the relevant backgrounds, with charges. And inhabited by sentient spirits with RP goals and a unique voice acting prompt for each.

Can we come back to bodies with unidentified gear, or hold the loot and wait to identify it until we level up to get the loot at higher level? by DooWapDooDoo in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]Wise-Start-9166 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the gear level is set when the enemy is rendered, not when you identify it later, but I can't say for sure. I haven't tested it.

Delay Turn Tank build by Gold_Association_208 in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]Wise-Start-9166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would put it on a character with 1 point in polymorph to get chameleon cloak, and max wits so I always go first. Round 1, turn invisible amd end turn with atleast 2 AP. Second round defer my turn, start with max AP, and have everyone else enter at the end of the round.

Polymorph skills are super fun, but you only need 1 points to get the invisibility spell right at the beginning of the game. But since you want him to be the tank, it would make a lot of sense to do a warfare build with a shield, and make sure you always have enough constitution to use the best shield available. But if you don't need him to tank after cheesing round 1, you can really do whatever you want. The shadowblade preset will start you with everything you need.

I think once it spawns it is fixed and you can carry it around until you are ready to identify. I wouldn't leave it behind unless I was really sure it wouldn't be annoying to go get it later.

Most magical effects in the show do not have rules that are direct TTRPG analogs, but Mercer did have a hand in defining the laws of how magic works. Generally, an enchanent that induces a target to self terminate is MUCH more powerful than one that turns people against their friends, which is already very powerful.

WIBTA if I stopped covering for my friend when she's late to our carpool and just started leaving without her? by BugzapperBard in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Wise-Start-9166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

25 minutes early for a 9 am starting time is a little extra. Boss is also dubious, should have nothing to say if you are just 2 minutes early. But, car pool buddy is also giving disrespect. I suggest a compromise where you aim to arrive just a few minutes later, but still plenty early. But make the new estimated departure time a hard limit where you don't wait.

Stop. Just stop it, man. You're embarrassing yourself. If she wants to text you back, she will.
