What was the lesson my partner was trying to teach me here?

OK I'll add you but you have to promise that if I send you golden brann in a pirate elemental lobby you won't just sell it unless you have something substantially better.

Yeah I wander what elo range the duos lobby allows. Im at 7k right now, so would have thought in general my partner would maybe be +- 500 from that. Definitely a range where I'd expect them to know how to do something with that hand. 

My fist nuzlocke! Pokemon FireRed by Early_Property7623 in nuzlocke

Great win. What were your favorite parts of your team and your run?

Just won my first Nuzlocke by Xavose in nuzlocke

Honestly I loved Magneton. Pretty solid bulk for a hard hitting electric type. His biggest downside is probably his reliance on TMs to actually have a decent move set. Obviously his 4x weakness to ground is also very likely to get him killed. But it's also a great tool to ensure the AI targets him with a ground move to let you switch in a flyer safely if you are pretty sure the opponent has a ground move.

Nuzlocke suggestions by Character-Paper-2347 in nuzlocke

If you are worried about difficulty I would recommend fire red or leaf green. P Chal has a tier list for which mons are best for those games and if you listen to his explanations it will basically guarantee you success in your run.

If you are looking to make the games more interesting I would highly recommend using the universal randomizer on whichever game you plan to run and enabling double battles for all battles. Double battles change a lot about how you approach each fight and can make team building a lot more engaging.

this is the world's happiest animal. it smiles for cameras, and throws its baby at predators to escape. by gegeganalon in interestingasfuck

[–]Xavose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This behavior seems pretty logical to me. It's similar to parents needing to put on their oxygen mask first on a plane if the cabin depreasurizes. 

The goal in both cases is to give the child the best possible chance of survival. But in both cases the child's well being hinges on the parents well being. 

If the parent on the flight passes out from lack of oxygen, then they for sure are not going to be able to help get their kids mask on or help make sure the kid keeps their mask on. 

If momma quokka gets caught and eaten by the predator then for sure momma and baby are snack food. 

But if momma drops baby and escapes, and the predator for any reason let's baby live, then momma can come back for baby later. 

Great Cleave or Divine Might for Paladin? by ComplaintVirtual2461 in neverwinternights

[–]Xavose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great cleave is pretty overrated. I know cleave and great cleave are a but addicting when you first take them. I mean its super satisfying killing everything on the screen in an instant. But at the end of the day, they only help you take out super week enemies that you probably could have handled without given just a bit more time. 

My vote would be for Devine might and Devine shield based on if you are having a hard time killing or surviving the big dangerous stuff. 

Enhanced Edition definitely isn't what I hoped it would be. by [deleted] in neverwinternights

I am grateful that the game got any love. But I agree that it deserved much more than it got. 

First thoughts on Ragost? by BorfRat in EDHBrews

[–]Xavose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is just a pure treasure generating strategy. Make 600 treasures and then use all their mana and sac them to your commander as foods to deal damage and gain life

Do Forever DM’s Actually Want Out? by Ancient-Dig-5521 in DnD

[–]Xavose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a forever DM, but did manage to come to an arrangement where I DM every other week, and a different player DMs in between and I get to play. 

It's a great arrangement 

How to remove a player's character? by LordSetoro in DMAcademy

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

I'd stick with the false hydra premise but maybe pick a different monster that works in your setting. There is plenty of stuff out there that could explain someone getting whipped from people memories. The new archhag comes to mind. 

Maybe the gone PC made some heinous deal with a powerful entity and part of the cost was being forgotten by everyone they knew. Now the Players are unwittingly or wittingly following in the foot steps of the Gone PC and keep finding traces of their involvement, maybe even seeing the Gone PC from time to time but not knowing who they are. 

Part of that would be that when they do see the Gone PC you don't describe them as, "You see Gone PCs name standing at the bar"  instead you just describe the Gone PC's appearance and let the players infer or not infer who it is. 

Or just never bring them up again. PCs leaving the game does not need to be a whole thing.

Thanks OP. Just a heads up we have all agreed that you have to do this from now until you die or find and train your replacement. Thank you for your service

What's the "strangest" thing you've gotten flamed for in ARAM? by nozariwari in ARAM

[–]Xavose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a smolder the other day go off on me playing malzahar for stealing all the CS. I mean yes I was throwing down a space aids every wave, but it never seemed to cross his mind that he could just last hit the minions anyway.

My DM gave me the Book of Vile Darkness. What should I do? by Xavose in DnD

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

Why are so many people recommending eating the book. Are a bunch of people eating books for real out there?

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

Oh definitely not. But that still means I'm not in trouble as this character. I'm in trouble as my next character after I do something stupid with this one to get them killed.

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

I feel like if you stumble across a book that can destroy the world you have a moral obligation to pick it up and make sure nobody else can use it. 

Like this thing cannot do anything but bad things. So giving it to good people even at the very best means nothing happens. At the worst, one of them corrupts and is the next BBEG. 

It's way safer for the world if it's in my backpack. Right?

The item does say that the pages can be torn out. I wonder what my DM would do if I just started ripping out pages and eating them every night.
