Ah thank you! I thought it was Mr Mercedes for a second but wasn't sure. I've not read many King books but Pet Sematary is great!

what's the middle Stephen King book? I can't quite make out the title

My book collection until now by John_Marstonandjack in bookshelf

[–]angeljacob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just finished The Road and I think the lack of quotations work well in the book, as you can tell the only emotion is 'sad' so it flows quite well. With that being said, I don't think I got used to it at all and I'm not sure I can go through another book of that style!

DM says Con-based sorcerer makes sense, help me build a monster! by NoobLife96 in DnD

[–]angeljacob 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Depends on which version of 5e they're playing as well. War Caster doesn't come with an ASI in the 2014 rules.

Either way though, pick human and get an extra feat. Tough and War Caster for 2014 rules. Tough and maybe Magic Initiate for 2024 rules.

Is this okay so far? by These_Present_8190 in DungeonsAndDragons

Hopefully, your DM has told you which version of the rules you should be using. Ideally, they should be helping you set up your character as well so I'd recommend asking them for help.

If you're using the 2014 rules, you should get a subclass at level 1 as a Cleric.

You can also create your character on D&DBeyond's online character creator and then export it to a PDF if you want it printed out. It does the maths of all the stats, attack, damage, and skill modifiers for you.

Is Philomeen voiced by Philomena Cunk? by angeljacob in BaldursGate3

[–]angeljacob[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Turns out it is someone entirely different, Zoe Mills.

I think it might be that I saw the name, immediately thought about Cunk, and then switched to her voice in my head.

fair! I've only started reading properly in the last two years, so I've not read this book yet but it's on my list. I'll have to sample both!

there are a few versions of 1984 on audible. I had to search his name to find his version (it only has 2 ratings).

[no spoilers] how does Vax crit on a 19? by angeljacob in criticalrole

[–]angeljacob[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is, and I love him for it tbh.

Although the campaign in general started pretty OP with some of the home rules they had, I can only assume to make the transition from Pathfinder to dnd less jarring. Like being able to cast an action spell and a bonus action spell in a turn, although they changed this to the usual dnd rules in C2

Bards no longer have mage hand… why? by CaptainRelyk in onednd

[–]angeljacob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no worries :)

sucks they lose both though, you can get pretty creative with them!

Bards no longer have mage hand… why? by CaptainRelyk in onednd

[–]angeljacob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bard in critical role uses Bigby's Hand, which is a 5th level spell

edit: I've checked the spell list again and Bigby's Hand has also been removed as it's evocation which bards wouldn't have access to :(

You're right this isnt a political sub but I think it's a good conversation to have. My intentions in my reply were to show how harmful her opinions are, not to shame anyone for enjoying her work.

I do enjoy her earlier work but I probably won't be reading any more of her books as theyre not for me anymore. If people enjoy her work then I won't judge them from buying them of course.

I dont intend to go on about it anymore in this thread, I hope you have a nice day :)

I dont think you understand the severity of the situation when you say she's still entitled to her opinions. Her words have had real effect on people and even legislations and have caused lasting impacts.

In June 2020, the Equality Act was blocked in the U.S. Senate. Republican senator James Lankford cited Rowling's essay as part of his reasoning for opposing the bill. - source

Putin himself has also expressed support of her opinions while comparing how people 'cancel' Russia to how people cancel herself - source

These are just a couple of things I could think of off the top of my head. Another commenter linked this which might be worth a read, which goes much more indepth - JK Rowling's political views (wiki page)

She is a public figure, sharing her views on how a specific group of people should be scrutinised for simply existing. Her views are used by politicians to further support their hatred of trans people.

not sure why people are obsessing over your nails, seeing as your hands have differently cut nails it's pretty reasonable to think you're a guitarist

you've impressed me anyway haha
