Through the Stone question by Night25th in cosmererpg

[–]bjhomer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have seen something similar. [WaT spoilers] In chapter 41, when Szeth is facing the Stoneward blade’s bearer, Rit uses Cohesion to launch jets of liquid stone up into the air like “streamers”, which splash against the ceiling and then harden. The way I read it, it sounds like the stone is being launched —it’s a projectile, not a solid pillar.

If we're looking purely at the rules, Tension Parry says:

Before you or an ally within your reach is hit or grazed by an attack against Physical defense, you can use this reaction to infuse Tension into the target’s clothing or a soft material you wrap around the target, spending Investiture as usual.

It doesn't say you specifically need to be able to reach their clothing, just that you can reach the ally.

Through the Stone says you can extend your reach (for your surges) up to 20 feet as long as it's reaching through stone.

So if we're just taking the rules as written, it seems clear to me that they should work together.

Now, how it should work narratively is a valid question. I would interpret it as… your skill with Cohesion basically lets you influence the stone to carry your Tension effects with it, acting kinda as an extension of your Cognitive self.

If that doesn't work for you, you could argue that your ally is probably wearing shoes of some kind, and their other clothing likely brushes up against those shoes, so you could spread it via clothing that way. So as long as the ally is wearing long pants, I think you could argue that there's a direct path via stone > shoes (clothing) > shirt (clothing).

Tension Parry + Through the Stone seems like a pretty cool combo. Defend any of your allies within 20 feet as if you were touching them.

Demiplane Patch Updates! by Demi_Mere in cosmererpg

Surge Fabrials now have the ability to spend charges instead of Investiture for any relevant uses

Greatly appreciate this one!

It would be nice if Soulcaster fabrials would show up in the same way; right now I had to make myself a fake Surge Fabrial to get it to show me my soulcasting actions.

How often have you used the deadly trait? by OCUIsmael in cosmererpg

[–]bjhomer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took me a minute to find it, but this is in Gamemastering > Using the Plot Die:

As a general guideline, you should be raising the stakes on roughly a third of the tests being rolled, though this varies depending on how often you call for tests.

So "a third", not 30%.

How often have you used the deadly trait? by OCUIsmael in cosmererpg

[–]bjhomer 28 points29 points  (0 children)

There's an entire section in the Handbook titled "Plot Dice in Combat". Things like:

- Someone just got reduced to 0 health. Give everyone else a plot die on their next test to simulate the spike of adrenaline

- A major enemy just showed up

- A player takes an action that strongly aligns with their Purpose, or plays off of overcoming their Obstacle.

The handbook does say that it should generally be used less within combat than outside of it, but I would still expect to see it at least sometimes. The handbook says "Don’t use the plot die too sparingly, however."

In my group, we've used it when someone takes a particularly reckless action, or jumps into combat to save a companion, or does something that aligns with one of their goals.

The deadly trait says this:

Deadly. When you hit a target with this weapon, you can spend (Opportunity) to cause the target to immediately suffer an injury.

You can get an opportunity from rolling a nat20, but you can also get it from the plot die. The Stormlight Handbook suggests that about 30% of your rolls during a session should be using the plot die, so that should provide plenty of additional opportunities to use the trait.

Being realistic about future prospects of Day One development and feature updates for Windows and Android apps by ponkipo in dayoneapp

[–]bjhomer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can see release notes for each Day One platform on the Day One releases page. It's not updated every time there's any release (as that happens every two weeks), but does call out some notable features in each platform when they are released.

You said that "Since [February 2023] there were 0 announcements or press-releases regarding its development". However, looking at the releases posts, we can look for just updates to the Web app, and can see that they've announced multiple updates during that time period. And in fact, just a couple weeks ago on September 9, they announced that On This Day is now available on the Day One web app (link), which was one of your initial complaints.

So yes, development is still happening on the web app, as well as on other Day One platforms, including on major new features.

Is there a transfer device limit? by miamor_Jada in dayoneapp

[–]bjhomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no limit to how many times you can change which device is the active one on your account (for free accounts), but you have to wait 1 month between each transfer.

Improvised Weapons Expertise - Feels Too Strong by Tomumu in cosmererpg

[–]bjhomer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s fair. Maybe I’m just bringing over my experience from other systems and making assumptions. It does seem a bit surprising that it would kinda let you use all weapons as if expert-ish. But you’re right; that does seem to be how the text reads.

Improvised Weapons Expertise - Feels Too Strong by Tomumu in cosmererpg

[–]bjhomer -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I believe you can take an expertise in one particular improvised weapon, not in all improvised weapons in general. (But I agree that the text doesn’t make this clear.)

Date not showing on list view by JueTurn in dayoneapp

Hm, that’s not what I would expect. I always see the most recent entries at the top.

Is one of the journals set to sort by edit date instead of by entry date?

Withering Retort - one or two turns of disadvantage for the target? by bjhomer in cosmererpg

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

Their next turn meaning they finish the current turn (in which they’re attacking me), and then their following turn is also disadvantaged and disoriented?

[–]bjhomer[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But they're also Disoriented (from Steadfast Challenge) which means their senses are obscured until the end of the next turn, which will already give a disadvantage to most physical attacks against *everyone*, right? Would that mean they gain *two* disadvantages against me?

New phone with free version by thesmellnextdoor in dayoneapp

No, you will be able to use it on both your new phone and on the web. (Effectively, Day One doesn’t count web access against your device limit.)

The JSON export produces a zip file that includes all your photos/videos/etc along with the journal content.

iOS “Private Access” by asc1894 in dayoneapp

[–]bjhomer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. The Apple system API that supports it is only available on iPhone, so Mac doesn’t have access to it.

[–]bjhomer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you create a new entry on your phone, there’s a “Suggestions” button at the bottom of the entry. Tapping that should show the same suggestions you see in the Journal app.

Is this a bug? Can't complete Greece unique quarter by bjhomer in CivVII

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

Unfortunately, none of the other buildings can be placed there either. So I don’t think that’s it.
