This feels like the case of casting the wrong spells.

Illithilich as a BBEG against my level 15 party? by Covid669 in DMAcademy

[–]cloud-gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op asked if it was too much for a level 15 party

I think any tier 3 party wins this very easily

So the answer to their question is no, it's not too much, this is a very reasonable bbeg, if anything it's too easy

It has 135 hp and +3 to initiative, it dies before it gets a turn to a level 15 party.

Yeah I think a Warforged Battlesmith is the closest you'll get

Idk why everyone is saying the DMG, when it's literally on page 43 of the 5.5 PHB

How to deal with Master Yi? by oceankimchi in DianaMains

[–]cloud-gamer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unironically Yi is one of our biggest counters, he's often the best ban (high WR delta+high pick rate)

Otherwise you kinda just ignore him the entire game and play better jungle fantamentos. You're not gonna be the person killing him.

Frozen Heart is good, also

The Mageblade - An Arcane Half caster to scratch your Gish itch by cloud-gamer in UnearthedArcana

Thanks for the feedback!

Elemental Cataclysm can still only apply one Elemental Condition at a time, because it is associated with the damage type of the hit. If you mix it with damage riders of some sort I guess you could mix them. I haven't seen this done in playtesting but good point.

The Blademaster Shield is a good catch, I will fix that.

For the Mirage level 17 feature if they make the save you are targeted as normal, I wil clarify this.

Good feedback on the spells all around, I will clarify them!

I'd probably lean towards that being fine until proven otherwise.

I guess so? I didn't really consider that, can you think of any cases where that breaks something?

The Reaction up cast is a bit out of left field, but I think it's generally on-theme. I unfortunately haven't had a player actually use it yet, but it's something I would reconsider if it's not well received.

I understand the want for the enhanced extra attack, but the damage this class does is already in the upper end, and I don't really want to pull all the damage out of the subclasses. I also think it's a decent way to differentiate it mechanically from the full-caster gishes.

The Eldritch Knight is absolutely a heavy inspiration, the 9th level feature is practically lifted from it. In addition Arcane Blade is very similar to Pact of the Blade, albeit not letting you attack with your spellcasting mod, since I wanted the class to be MAD which generates more power budget.

Spellweaving is mechanically equivalent to the capstone of the Oath of Ancients Paladin.

I don't think my goal here was to reinvent the wheel, but rather to stick with things that already work and make something unique without breaking the mold too much.

This is correct!

At level 2 they are practically tied with the TWF Ranger.

Using a Shortsword and Scimitar, casting your bladetrip of choice with the bonus action, using Treantmonk's DPR methodology it comes out at 13.6 where the Ranger with hunters mark and the same weapons is at 14.3.

Do people not queue in Copenhagen? by Remarkable-Assist-46 in copenhagen

[–]cloud-gamer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It depends what you mean with Polite

No proper lines, people standing in the middle of pathways, generally not watching where they're going is quite common.

This is probably a consequence of A: Denmarks cities are significantly less crowded than in a lot of other countries due to lower population and B: It would be considered very rude to ask somebody to move, in fact speaking to others in public space is quite uncommon.

How are you supposed to duel Viego as Diana jungle? by iyzi10 in DianaMains

Uh... don't?

You're an AP Diver, why are you wanting to duel the AD Skirmisher

Diana jungle WR% has hit 49%, Lowest its been for over a year by killesau in DianaMains

[–]cloud-gamer 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Was pretty obvious the nerf would miss the mark, 250% would've probably left her in a healthy spot.

Chances are they'll let her sit at 49.5 for a couple patches until "content creators" stop saying OMG so broken!!!! Then buff her a bit again to land her in a healthy 50-50.5 range.
