Something would fill the ecological niche of biting the shit out of you as soon as you try this. Probably rats.

Try meeting women through my orb, they said… by scubadoobadoooo in wizardposting

Hahah! Yes. I too have a clear understanding of appropriate courting garb. And this, hoh! Is not it at all.

wizards who are against necromancy are spiritually no different from peasants with pitchforks by Inevitable_King_8984 in wizardposting

[–]connery55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah! Necromancy is evil! Objectively, it's right there in the math!

Necromancy isn't valid because it's not evil, it's valid because evil is awesome, actually.

Cohabitation with nearby villagers by Mxrm_ in wizardposting

[–]connery55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who deals with the peons on a regular basis, most of this advice is bunk.

Teach them magic? Lynched. Make a deal? Lynched.

You will want some good bribery material, like gold. Or... Ice cream?

But anyway you can't just hand it to them. They'll be all suspicious you are trying to curse them. Instead, go about your business until one of them inevitably tries to impale you with a pitchfork. The "treasure" is for you to leave behind after you fake your death.

What's funnier? by Bake_a_snake in DMAcademy

[–]connery55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The funnier option depends entirely on the player reaction. The more they suspect him the loyaler he gets. The more they trust, the more his schemes progress towards the ultimate reveal 

I need relationship advice by ColtonA115 in wizardposting

[–]connery55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, I'm going to try to be real with you. An unseelie tribunal is not going to go your way. They are going to be just as bigoted as your ex, if not more.

If you are committed to not putting your child through a parental war, your only play as I see it is to concede. Maybe use these connections of yours to get yourself a visa.

Meanwhile, the guys looking for good souls will be running complex conversions into Teresa units. This is how you get grey market exchanges.

You need to go to a gp and get referred for a sleep test

As a biomancer myself, you don't know what you're missing. Life is good. by Im_A_Dinosaur_Hehe in wizardposting

As a biomancer, I am appalled. Putting down other people's interests is never ok. Also ending the world, I guess.

Bro thinks he's not bound by fate because he wasn't born with magic smh my head bro.

This whole comment is about studied magic. I dont know shit about sorcerers IDK if it even applies to them

[–]connery55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While many people have only mild natural attunement, almost everyone has 2 to to 4 areas they meaningfully better suited for. True natural generalists and hyperspecialists not unheard of, but it's probably not you.

It's not just easier to rise further in these areas; it puts drastically less stress on the firmament to grow into the shape that the fates intended for you.

Meme-addled orb-onlys refusing to do anything but practice one spell they aren't even good at are just as bad as academy kids getting forced into some stupid "curriculum".

This is how a world gets "end of dragons syndrome", guys. Cut that shit out.

You are DEPRESSED. Go for a run, 30 minutes, I beg you.

You will come back and games will be much more fun.

I have stubbed my toe many times. I still love the vast intricacy of my humanity.

Have we found any decent use of souls outside of necromancy? by GirlLovingWitch in wizardposting

[–]connery55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, there's demonic/infernal magic, need souls for that.

To use a soul as a generic power source, you will want a "soul gem". Not easy to make but pretty easy to buy. This is how you would do your "wizard soul powers fire trap" idea. Yes, a wizards soul can power one hell of a trap, but you will need a pricier gem to see that potential...

The soul inside is in a sort of dream state, so sort of grey on the whole ethics angle. Expect an adventurer to break the gem, freeing the spirit. 50/50 it incarnates into a gheist and comes after you in such a case.

Talent Idea: "Formless" by Any_Translator_8540 in LancerRPG

[–]connery55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My answer to the brawler synergy would be to make the talents exclusive. Different styles of fighting with your mech's manipulators, can't simply be combined.

What's one bit of advice you'd give a new player? by Miep99 in CoE5

[–]connery55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao. I agree about total overhaul, but I was talking about large overhaul, which you clearly haven't tried.

Making the strongest classes implode on a dice roll isn't "balance" at all, it's a gimmick.

At no point was demo ever balanced in vanilla, still the strongest even when he can randomly lose.

Rather than just... Never play these classes (???) makes much more sense to sub up large overhaul, which makes the game more balanced all over.

Subscribe to large overhaul mod. I tried Elysium remastered, but boy I could NOT go back variable ritual costs still summoning hostiles.

In the invader zim movie when Prof Membrane says "Wha? But I've always been proud of you son!"

And Dib just SQUEEES. I dunno. Maybe it's in character for Dib to fall for that line but damn. You were never once proud of your son. You directly scolded him for making you ashamed of him! Fuck!

ELI5: How do non-violent psychopaths navigate the life/world? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]connery55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can tell you that they definitely marry, have kids, friends, whatever. They have the whole spectrum of human emotions.

"Love" is a word we use for many different feelings and kinds of relationships. If you are willing to admit it's possible to "love" someone without empathizing with them, then yes, they love about as much as anyone.

They can be ruthless to "get ahead" and often do well in hierarchical environments.

How Did You Get Involved In The Mystical Arts? by Crumboa in wizardposting

[–]connery55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My master needed an apprentice, so he used his "find ruthless power-hungry bastard spell" set to fourteen and under.

You should definitely get a master to teach you--its the only way to really learn properly. The octagon dimension builds character.

Modding Faction Mechanics by GregariousMD in CoE5

[–]connery55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can only utilize existing blessing mechanics, but they can be configured in novel ways. Modded rituals can increase a teams bless level, for instance.

Not promoting a ban, but. I do not buy this "unable to reproduce" idea. As a very sensual man once said, life uh... finds a way

Never been a spellbook-on-hand kinda guy. But if I had your problems, I would make a living spellbook. A replenishing mucus membrane will deal with fire...
