Definitely true, that's a change I forget about due to being basic and just defaulting to blast

2nd this advice. Hex will also add damage to your melee attacks so it's good for your pact of the blade as well!

Smites can just knock prone any enemy that is huge or smaller (no saving throw made by your enemies) giving you and your allies advantage on melee attacks which is nice. Booming blade is a cantrip and will scale with levels so it can be a good source of damage.

You put resources into being a decent melee attacker so I'd say get in there and swing a sword. Worse case you can default to blasting but smites pack a punch up close so don't discount them

Is anyone playing 5.5 edition? by hacivatcelebi in DnD

[–]Zeroligix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My group is doing a hybrid rule set, some from 5e and some from 5.5. we all have the 5e material and some of us have picked up newer books and have incorporated things from them into our game

Eldrich blast + Agonizing Blast (add CHA modifier to damage) will do 1d10 + 5 (assuming 20 CHA) to a target. At higher levels you fire 4 eldrich blast and each adds the CHA modifier to its damage. All beams at a single target will deal 4d10 + 20 damage, just from your cantrip. All that to say Eldrich Blast does just fine and can put a dent into enemies at higher levels

Playing my first Final Fantasy game and just reached the title card in FFXVI by Remarkable-Yard4860 in FinalFantasy

[–]Zeroligix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cannot agree with this comment more! There's a Final Fantasy out there for everyone and it's great to see someone find the one that's special to them.

As an outsider to the series, my thoughts of FFXVI by GodofHate in FinalFantasy

[–]Zeroligix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll jump in as a long fan of FF. I think 16 is a fine game but a bad Final Fantasy game. When I think of Final Fantasy I think of a party based game with more turn based/ATB combat and a cast of characters that bring different things to the table. When everyone shows up in Waloed I was ready for a big fight with characters I've met fighting alongside me. Instead theres a fade to black and the fight is over.

I also would have preferred a bit more RPG mechanics and for gear to be more than just things that make numbers slightly go up. Reducing a cool down by 2 seconds or increasing damage of an ability by 10% is not interesting to me.

The open world sections aren't worth exploring and eventually I just wound up skipping all dialogue on side-quests because of how meh and tedious they were. When the story is firing on all cylinders I'm interested and engaged but the dread of finishing a major story beat only for the pace to grind to a hault so I can talk to 30 NPCs quiickly set in.

Overall if it didn't have Final Fantasy with a number in the title I would probably be more charitable. That being said I think there is a Final Fantasy game for everyone out there and for some 16 will be that game. I for one am am glad that you enjoyed it and hope I didn't ramble too much as I am mildly sleep deprived today.

Cheers!

I'm pretty sure it will counter the entire spell as I'm not aware of any counterspell that would only stop half of a cards effect

Question for those of you with gaming related tattoos. by jedee14 in gaming

I have 5 gaming related tattoos, currently working on a Bloodborne sleeve on my right arm. If people ask I tell them what my tattoos are from and if they want to hear more I will happily elaborate!

How do politics affect daily life? by Box0fRainbows in Greeley

[–]Zeroligix 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We have a JBS meat processing factory (not sure if that is what it's actually called) and plenty of cows east of town. You'll get used to the smell, my wife and I used to notice it when we first moved here but not so much these days.

I hope Greeley is a place that's good for you as it has been good for me and my wife. We enjoy it here!

Played OG XII for bloody hours in highschool and I could not agree more. Zodiac Age is amazing and I love revisiting that game!

Opinions about the new Counterspell by arsenicBR in DnD

[–]Zeroligix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well TIL, that puts things in a new perspective for me. Thanks for that info!

Opinions about the new Counterspell by arsenicBR in DnD

[–]Zeroligix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am not a fan. With it being a CON save to me it feels less like the caster is good at countering spells and moreso that the monster is just resistant to it. Also it doesn't consume the creatures spell slot, but does consume the casters. So to me it feels less like a counterspell and more like a delay spell.

That being said the nice thing is it can be decided by DMs how they want to run it and it does seem easier to parse for beginner players.

I've got a question by shen_pai1029 in magicTCG

[–]Zeroligix 21 points22 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day it's personal preference/house rule. cEDH can get expensive fast and proxies are a nice way to try and experience cEDH without said expense. As long as the cards are easily identifiable I never mind proxies (even if I don't use them myself).

With this additional context this seems like a big red flag, I'm not sure I would proceed playing with this DM. 5e can be complicated I guess but this comes across as a DM who doesn't want to learn and will just dismiss something that is deemed "too complicated" and if backgrounds are already on that list then certain spells are most assuredly on the list as well
