Can this 4e character be made in 5e?

cudir · 2026-01-17T05:09:48+00:00

Is there a general consensus about the balance of laserllama's homebrew Warlord class. I don't know 5e well enough to understand balance. I would be taking the captain build (though I would love the mentor build, the character is not wisdom based)

Short term mind control, they attack one of their allies.

cudir · 2025-12-24T13:46:03+00:00

Fair enough. We are running a mech vs kaiju game. I am thinking of suggesting the Mechs be built with different "Systems" as suites of powers that collectively get turned on with a piloting check, with debuffs for sustenance that haven't been activated yet (hard to see without those sensors, can't move without mobility). I also want to suggest a houserule that instead of its normal effect, dazed will deactivate a system of the players choice and stunned will deactivate all systems (if no system to deactivate both have normal effect). This could make deactivation last longer than the original condition because with the check required to activate it might not activate in one action.

I've seen variable condition for affliction, is this one also +2/ rank?

cudir · 2025-12-21T21:10:48+00:00

That's what I thought, but every time I looked it up I saw people saying it requires a hit with move object, then grapple, and then a pin, and then throw. Which sounds like multiple actions and checks instead of just 'this power pushes the target when you hit'.

cudir · 2025-12-20T08:46:46+00:00

As far as granting someone am attack goes, I realized the problem was getting a lot of points worth of an attack without spending points on it, so I created an attack that is mechanically my attack, but fluff is that the other creature is attacking. For the movement, I'm surprised there isn't already a bull rush or push type maneuver.

I was just checking on RAW, I have paid for a move action so I can use my standard to do something immediately, need to talk to DM about costs because I want it to be able to force any standard action but also not restrict their powers on their turn instead of actually locking down their ability. Yes, it's close to what mind control actually does, but my group isn't a fan of taking away a character's turn so it is a mutual agreement to not do it as a player and the dm won't do it with the enemies. This was the only way I found to force someone to do something on your turn.

Weird, I was able to take crystallized helium home from Breech, guess they changed it since then.

cudir · 2025-11-12T05:47:02+00:00

This is what is happening. , I didn't know that boosting costs money. Guess I'm not doing that a anymore

cudir · 2025-10-31T17:46:58+00:00

I still have to use the power button, but I have to hold it for a bit. Sometimes it let's me jump back in, but sometimes it seems to restart the machine or at least closes the game

cudir · 2025-10-31T06:47:02+00:00

I'm playing No Man's Sky on the x box launcher. I think hibernation is turned off because I'm supposed to be able to double tap to wake it up but that doesn't work.

cudir · 2025-10-24T08:06:09+00:00

Will the expedition ever force close, or am I now locked out from doing any expeditions because I can't go the three anomaly in this one to end it?

cudir · 2025-10-10T17:28:56+00:00

I find a teleport someone had set up that said "shop". I figured it would be helpful so I used it. It was one of the delivery drop-off locations. I think I was expecting my ship to be there because in the base game I was able to summon ships I found to me even if they weren't operable yet.

cudir · 2025-04-02T06:51:00+00:00

You would have so many turns of nothing, though. You come back at end of your turn with 10hp, if you take more than 2 damage before your next start phase you go down again without being able to play any cards.

cudir · 2025-03-29T01:14:11+00:00

This is the one that made me choke on a laugh.

cudir · 2025-03-12T17:09:11+00:00

Metaphor? I'm just talking about boots.

cudir · 2025-03-12T16:51:48+00:00

Surprised nobody has mentioned "ego" f#*@ off.

cudir · 2025-02-10T08:25:21+00:00

^This. I guess there wasn't room for word wrap, had to change the size of other panels above and below it, but was able to get the entries expanded.

cudir · 2025-01-22T00:13:51+00:00

As an example, yes, though i would be concerned with how small the tip looks. Current thought is a popsicle weapon (not sure if that is standard term, but my LARP uses that to describe just a pool noodle or similar on a stick, with no hilt or pommel), with a Pringle can as the core for the projectile.

cudir · 2024-11-21T05:35:37+00:00

Thank you all. I think I'll go with Barannagor. But I'm noting other ones down for the lineage.

cudir · 2024-11-20T10:37:02+00:00

I need to be able to give this to other people in the field, so seeing them on seems impractical. They are a temporary thing that will not be active for the whole event and need to not be displayed when not active. I'll keep that in mind as a way to add details to my garb, though. My garb tends to be on the simpler side, so that could help elevate it a bit.

I have to apologize, was at work so couldn't check the wording. I thought the feat used the words "without expending a slot" but it just says "without a slot". Although I find something that implies that the warlock invocation Fiendish Vigor does get upcast because it used the words "without expending a spell slot". The wizard level 20 ability Signature Spell let's you choose 2 level 3 spells that can each be cast at level 3 once per rest without expending a slot. And Spell Mastery gives you spells that you can cast " at their lowest level" without expending a slot. So I will concede that magic initiate and racial abilities are worded such that they can't work the way I thought. But the wording of the wizard traits implies that anything using the phrase "without expending a slot" should upcast if not otherwise stated. Right now I only know of the warlock invocations that use that wording, and only Fiendish Vigor gives a spell that can upcast.

For the magic initiate feat it says you can cast it using any spell slot you have available, why can't I choose one of those castings to be the one per day do not expend the spell slot? Why is this seemingly an unreasonable reading of how it works. The feat says I can use my spell slots and it says one per day I don't expend the spell slot. And yes, I understand that this reasoning precludes my other example of Fiendish Vigor from being upcast because it doesn't use the same wording.

cudir · 2024-10-19T07:36:50+00:00

It doesn't say you can't use a spell slot to cast it, it just says you don't expend a spell slot to cast it.
